Chicago Effort TO Enforce
Covenant Is Dismissed
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO. May 6. - Superior
Judge Frank M. Padden yesterday
dismissed an injunction to enforce
a restrictive covenant against two
Negro couples in what was believed
the first lower court ruling on re-
Strictive covenants since Monday S
United States Supreme Court de-
cision.
The injunction was sought by the
Park Manor Improvement AsSoci-
alton and Mrs Mary j. Cronin. to
prevent the Negro couples from
taking possession of a two-Story
residence at 69l6 Wabash avenue
on the citys south side. Mrs. Cronin,
who formerly owned the building,
was one of the property owners in
the neighborhood who signed re-
strictive covenant in 1927.
The Negro couples, Excel and
Ollie Dixon, and their daughter and
son-in-laW, Catherine and John
Love. purchased the residence from
a bank for $4,000 last January.
In upholding the Negro families.
Judge Padden said the Supreme
Court decision, which stated restric-
tive covenants are not enforceable
in the courts. was very definite and
left no room for argument.
Restrictive covenants are at an
end"

The surprise wedding of the

at Rockford Ala.
For the 39-year-old Governor
and father of two small daughters
his marriage to the brunei, State
employed secretary was the climax
to a busy "a months, political ano
otherwise.
Early last March he was named
defendant in paternity suit
brought by an attractive red-haireC
divorce. who charged he was the
father OF her 2-year-old son. He
shortly thereafter took a trip tc
washington and New York.
To Return to Office Today.
In Washington, Government sec
retaries leaned out of windows and
some even whistled. In New York
models group named him the
most eligible bachelor Of the year
and he stopped traffic on Fifth

Hoffman Backs Down
On Jai|ing Newsmen
For Printing Leaks

The threat Of Jail for newsmen
VINO publish confidential informa-
ton given to them by lawmakers
faded today.
1T wasn't aimed at newSmen in
the first place and III move to
strike it out myself" Representa-
tive Hoffman, Republican, of Michi-
gan said of the controversial provi-
sion in a pending bill he is spon-
sOTing.
The bill, designed to force execu-
tive agencies to give congressional
committees requested data, would
penaliZe any committee member,
employe or other individual" dis
closing data held to be confidential.
Mr.. Hoffman'S announcement
that he would agree to removal of
the other individual" clause cleared
the way for a House vote on the
legislation next week.
Previously, Speaker Martin and
Majority Leader Halleck had told
newsmen they would fight any
proposal that threatened to invade
the constitutional rights of the
press.
Mr.. Hoffman is chairman of the
House Expenditures Committee,
which drafted the legislation.
Not Intended to Censor Press.
The main and only purpose of
the bill" he told neWSmen, is to
compel executive agencies to give
Congress the information it needs
to do its work properly. There
never was any intention to set up
a committee censorship of what
neWsmen may write"
The bills penalty provision speci-
fies a one-year prison sentence and
$1,000 fine.
The measure is an outgroWth OF
the Commerce Departments refusal
TO give the Un-American Activities
Committee an FBI file in the case
of Dr. Edward U. Condor, head of
the Bureau of Standards.
File Now at White House.
The file has been sent to the
President by Undersecretary of
Commerce Foster. There was no
explanation for this move.
Mr.. Hoffman has conceded that
if the papers were given to the
President the House measure would
have no effect since it deals only
with executive Offices and not with
the Presidents Office.

All classified Mderal workers. Dis
trict government employees and leg

included in the terms Of the sub
Commuters measure. The esti-
mated cost as $500, ,000. 900.
Postal Workers Included.
Postal !, employees were also in
cluded In the measure. This was
a great disappointment to postal
groups. who, had fought for sep
arate postal pay raise measure.
The various postal unions an
nounced they would hold a special
meeting today. to- decide future ac-
ton on the pay raise legislation. 1t
Is expected that they will try to
get the. full committee tomorrow
vote separate bills and increase the
$468 figure.
The postal employees, however, will
win their point in the Senate Civil
Service Committee. .+,
The Senate group is to meet later
this week and is expected to re-
port out separate postal pay raise
bill.
New Measure Likely.
Postal employees would receive
$500 raises, and the rest of the Gov
ernment's employees would get wage
boosts averaging only $500 in a
separate measure. The nonpostal
raises would be combined with a re-
vision Of the Classification Act.
Because the House and Senate pay
measures are so completely different
in every detail, it's expected that
eventually completely new measure
combining parts Of each will have to
be written in a House-Senate, con-
ference. This. Of course, is con-
tingent on both bills passing their
houses.
Some pay bill sponsors are hope
full that the more liberal features
of each bill can be combined in the
House-Senate conference measure,
as happened in the case OF the civil
service retirement bill.

GREAT HELP-The Senate Civil
Service Committee has favorably re-
ported legislation which would end
a great injustice to former Gov
employees who are being de-
MED the right to withdraw their
retirement contributions.

Civil Service Retirement Act allows
Federal employees who leave the
Government after April l to with

they want to, providing that they

Ru|ingS Soughtto Allow
Reduced Price Sale Of
Short Measure LIQUOR

The corporation counsel's Office
will be asked to rule on the question
of selling short-measure bottles of
liquor at reduced prices and with
label on the bottle noting that the
liquid contents are less than the
amount stated on the revenue
stamps.
In the last two weeks, j. Thomas
Kennedy, superintendent of weights,
measures and markets, and his in
spectors have ordered more than
81 900 bottles of liquor off the shelves
of Washington dealers because the
bottles did not contain the measure
stated on the revenue stamps.
Letter Asks Opinion.
r. Joseph Donohue yesterday sent
a letter to Mr.. Kennedy for trans
mission to the corporation counsel.
asking for an opinion. He said
liquor dealers here should not be
made to suffer financial loss because
the contents in the bottle has evap-
GRATED an ounce or two.
Mr.. Kennedy is against permitting
the sale of short measure bottles for
any reason, he said. but will be
guided by the opinion of the cor
poration counsel.
The plan to sell the short measure
bottles was put forth last week, when
many. Of the wholesale distributors
refused to take back those bottles
that, they said, had been sold sew
eral years ago, during the war, when
corks were inferior and allowed
some Of the liquor to evaporate.
Milton S. Kronheim, ore of the
leading wholesale liquor distributors,
said wholesalers, however, are taking
back short-measure bottles that
were purchased recently.
"Some of the short measure liquor
was sold six or seven years ago."
Mr.. Kronheim said, "and some Of
the manufacturers have gone out of
business. Some liquor dealers think
they have divine right not to take
a loss on any merchandise, but there
is no reason why they should not
take losses as do merchants in other
lines Of business. Department stores
frequently advertise goods as shop
worn or seconds and sell them at a
reduced rate, and there is no reason
why liquor dealers could not do the
same"
