Arguments End
In Realty
|Acquitta| Move
Ruling Due Friday
On Motions by 2 Units
In Antitrust Action
By Froncis P. DouqIos

Arguments were completed in
District Court today on motions for
directed verdicts acquitting the
Washington Real Estate Board and
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards in the Government s
antitrust case.
The two organizations are charged
with a criminal conspiracy to fix
commissions in the sale of real
estate and other realty transactions
in the District.
Justice Edward M. Curran, in
taking the motions under advise
ment, announced he would deliver
his ruling Friday and the jury was
excused yesterday until then. Court
will not be in session tomorrow.
The Governments arguments In
opposition to the motions for direct
ed verdicts were given by Victor H.
Kramer, Government trial attorney,
and Hayward Belser, one of the
three Government attorneys who
have been assisting Mr.. Kramer.
Asks Points Be Clarified.
Justice Curran indicated some
points of law which he wanted
cleared up. rs the mere fixing of
rates for services in itself an unrea-
sonable restraint of trade in the
District?" he asked.
Later he remarked that if the ma
tional association is eliminated from
the case, it must be shown that the
Washington board conspired with
some one else.
Mr.. Kramer insisted that the
Sherman Act makes illegal any COM
bination to fix prices or rates in the
District. He asserted the Washing
ton board acted with co-conspira-
tors, but that it is not necessary to
name the co-conspirators.
1t is the Governments position,
he said, that even before the Wash
ington board adopted a new sched-
ule of rates in February, l943, the
law was violated. That schedule
fixed the commission on the sale
of real estate at S per cent on the
first $4,000 of the sale price and 3
per cent on the excess.
Leahy Argues 21a Hours.
"When each member of the Wash
ington board became a member of
the national association" he said,
and agreed with the national to
observe the rate schedule of the
local board 1t was a conspiracy and
a violation"
He contended that if "the national
association is out. the case stands
unimpaired against the Washington
board"
William E. Leahy, attorney for the
Washington board, argued for about
two and half hours yesterday in
support of his motion on behalf
of his client.
One paragraph Of the indictment
charged the Washington board with
adopting a schedule fixing the
standard rates of commissions to be
charged by its members"
There can be no possibility O..
restraint of trade in standard
rates." Mr.. Leahy said. Fixing
standard rates is different from fix
ing commissions, which must be
paid-or else.
1--WE never attempted to impose
that rate on a nonmember or to cut
business away from a nonmember.

Gen. SpaatZ stated that when he
was first asked at the Key West

preparation for an 80,000-ton car

not been presented to him in suffi-
cient detail for him\ to form an
opinion.
If such a carrier is to be used
for strictly naval purposes" Gen.
Spaatz wrote, lit is the responsible
ity of the Navy to justify 1t on that
basis. If such justification is based
in part on the possible utility OF
such a carrier in strategic war OPP
erations, the Secretary of Defense
requires that the subject must first
be presented to the services having
primary responsibility, in this case
the Air Force, or to the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Except for the records
made in Key West, there has been
to my knowledge no further discus

Westinghouse Plans
.EmpIoye Retirement,
Security Program
BY the Assoeioted Press

PITTSBURGH, June 1.-THE
Westinghouse Electric Corp. today
announced a proposal for a single
uniform security package" for en-
ployes.
In a letter to employees, Gwilym
A. Price, president of the company,
estimated the program would cost
the firm s13,5OO,o0o to $4,000, 900
a year.
Mr.. Price said management had
been working on the program for
year or more and will offer it to
employees when the company's pay
roll and material costs are stabil-
lied so that we are certain we can
afford the increased expense of the
plan"
The program would provide. PEN
sions, life insurance, sickness and
accident insurance, hospital and
surgical insurance.
The company said an employe
with 30 years service would be able
to retire with a. combined company
pension and social security pay
ments equal to approximately 40
per cent of his average regular
monthly pay.
Westinghouse would pay approx
mately two-thirds of the pension
plan cost, while the employe would
pay 2la per cent of his first $1,000 of
regular earnings, plus S per cent of
earnings above $1,000. Should an
employe leave the company, all his
contributions, plus interest, would
be refunded to him.
The company estimated cost of the
insurance to employees would range
from go cents to Sl45 week, de-
pending on base pay and number of
employees have.
