Some Food Concerns
A|armedbyDo

Some Washington food distribu-
tors already are concerned about
the dock strike that has tied up East
Coast ports and others are keeping
their fingers crossed as they watch
developments.
Sugar and coffee distributors are
among those particularly concerned.
One coffee distributor said he had
heard there are 80 ships in New
York harbors with coffee in their
holds or on the decks, but it was
stressed that Is yet there Is no
shortage.
Washington is supplied with sugar
chiefly by q Baltimore refinery One
sugar man said it was reported that
the refinery has two weeks supply
Of raw sugar from Cuba. Supplies
now are being spread over the de-
mand in q sort Of informal rationing.
Other food items on which the
dock strike has repercussions are
mostly canned goods from the West
Coast and Hawaii.
Fuel oil apparently is not affected.
Most fuel oil comes here from Bal
timore, where there are tremendous
stocks. It would take long strike
to affect the local supply, 1t was said.

Cross-Examination Self
For Manthos Today on
'Sandbaqginq' Charge,

Cross-examination OF Pvt. Frank
N. Manthos, former Vice Squad Of
ficer in No. Precinct, is scheduled
this afternoon before the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board.
Pvt. Manthos charges that Pvts.
Samuel L Wallace and Myles ].
Richey "sandbagged" the proprietor
Of Mitchell's Grill. 235 G street N.W-
operated by Henry G. David, in
charging him with 81 violations Of
the ABC regulations. Pvt. Manthos
told the board he was in the res
taurant on the nights both Wallace
and Richey were there and that he
did not see the law violations that
they charged.
Given Uniform Assignments.
AS 4 result OF the publicity given
the policemen during the last three
sessions of the ABC Board, Maj.
Robert ]. Barrett, superintendent of
police, transferred the men from
undercover work to uniformed as
signments. Pvts. Wallace and Richey
were members Of the headquarters
Vice Squad.
The hearings started November 4
and were continued last Tuesday
and Wednesday. Not only does the
case involve the largest number OF
charges ever lodged against a
licensee. but it also has been one OF
the longest and hardest fought.
When Pvt. Manthos takes the wit
ness stand this afternoon, he will be
subjected to cross-examination by
Assistant Corporation Counsel Rob-
ert D. Wise, who has examined him
during the last two hearings.
Another Case Dropped.
Meanwhile, charges ofo selling
liquor to a minor, brought against
Mr.. and Mrs. Bernard Cortland, who
conduct a restaurant at 628 Fourth
street S.W., were dropped after
hearing before the ABC Board yes
terday.
The hearing originally was sched-
uled for October 20, but was post
poned when it was learned that
the principal witness, q 14-year-old
colored girl. had escaped from the
Children's Receiving Home and could
not be located. The board con-
tinued the case, but it was dismissed
yesterday. Police said they still
were unable to locate the girl.

tostats of records before the COM
mittee, but could find no complete
answer.

"and if a profit was made and

1t will show" He promised to COM
plete the record and voluntarily
submit q corrected report to the
committee.
where's the money!" asked Mr..
Reddan.
That's what I'll have to hnd,"
replied Mr.. Kearney.
Many of the cash payments from
other dealers for trade-ins taken by
the Kearney company, the subcom-
mittee was told, were made to Rob-
ert S. Tiger, head salesman for the
company. The testimony generally
was that the other company deal
ers always paid In cash, by request
or by custom, and did not get re-
ceipts.
Unable to Recall Details. .
Mr.. Tiger, repeatedly called back
to the stand, was unable to recall
details in virtually all questioned
instances, but consistently and en-
phatically declared that any and
all payments he had received he
had turned over to the Office. He
said these went to either Mrs.
Lichtenberg or to Gerald. Francis
Hammill, company accountant.
Mr.. Reddan threw at Mr.. Kearney
the national advertising pledges OF
fair dealing by Oldsmobile dealers,
printed in Washington under the
signature of the Kearney company
and other Oldsmobile dealers. He
asked the witness what about the
pledges of fair and reasonable al
lowance on your car"
That was meant for some other
dealer" Mr.. Kearney retorted.
While he agreed with other Olds-
mobile pledges, he frankly told the
subcommittee that on used cars as
trade-ins, his firm sought to give
"as little as we can" and in selling
tried to get las much as we can"
When Mr.. Reddan asked if that
was competitive" Mr.. Kearney re-
piled, mo, but it's good business"
20% Profit Reasonable"
While speaking for the national
Oldsmobile business, Mr.. Banks had
told the committee q 20 per cent
profit on used cars was regarded Is
reasonable"
Mr.. Reddan said the investigation
showed the markups on used cars
of the Kearney company were al
most 100 per cent. Mr.. Kearney said
this was less than the national aver
age. Mr.. Reddan insisted the Dis
trict average was only AZ per cent
Mr.. Banks emphasized that no
General Motors dealer or customer
has to accept any accessory that Is
not wanted. He insisted that the
general practice was to order only
what was wanted.
This did not quite match with
what Mr.. Kearney told the COM
mittee. He said that his companys
new car buyers were sold" on all
accessories they took with their new
cars, but Mr.. Reddan interpreted
this to mean they took what they
had to take If they wanted to buy
| the car when 1t was available.
Mr.. Kearney agreed that generally
if a buyer on his company's Gus
toner list did not want to take
what accessories were on the car, he
had the choice of taking them, or
waiting for another delivery In the
future, on some other car.

all patriotic groups in our great
country, labor accepts the challenge
on behalf Of free people everywhere.
May God guide you as you faee
the future"
The conventions program today
included q report from the Admin
istrative Committee Of the AFLs
League for Political Action which
will outline a program Of activity
for the next II months.
Attorneys advised league directors
they believe the between elections
activities Of the organization can be
financed with membership dues and
without resorting to voluntary mem
Der contributions. They said this
seems to get around Taft-Hartley
provisions which ban direct union
contributions to Federal elections
and primaries.
AFL leaders expect the political
expenditures prohibition to be taken
care Of in repeal Of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act, and it will not be written
into any substitute labor law which
may be enacted by the next Con-
gress.
Joseph D. keenan,, the one-time
War Production Board vice chair
man, is expected to continue as
director Of the league. Although
Mr.. keenan, wants to step out,
heavy pressure is being brought on
him to remain on the job.

Of educating" the AFL's $500 900

There also was a firm decision to

party.
Addressing today's convention ses-
sion were John r. Steelman, assist
ant to President Truman; Perry
Brown, national commander OF the
American Legion, and Lyall T.
Beggs. head of the Veterans Of For
eign Wars.
Tobin Is Speaker.
Secretary of Labor Tobin yester-
day called for unequivocal repeal Of
the Taft-Hartley Act, as well as the
Hobbs and Lea (nati-Petrillo) Acts.
The latter is designed to halt the
practice Of the American Federation
Of Musicians in compelling radio
stations 10 hire extra musicians
The Hobbs law is aimed at the
practice Of the teamsters union in
exacting fees from union trucks
entering metropolitan areas.
Mr.. Tobin promised that Taft
Hartley Acs will be repealed quickly
by the Eighty-first Congress and
that it will be replaced by mean
ingful document" He, however,
failed to detail administration ideas
for q substitute labor relations law.
He promised an end of Federal
Government interference" In collec-
tive bargaining between labor and
management.
Secretary Tobin said welfare Of the
Nations wage earners required q
strong Labor Department. Appro-
priation slashes by the last Congress
reduced the departments size and
scope.
He promised to get back the
United States Employment Service,
which he said was kidnapped from
the Labor Department." and return
the Federal Cancellation Service to
the Department. It had operated
there for "a years before the Taft
Hartley Act made It an Independent
