SEC Studies Next Step
After Setback in
Kaiser Stock Dispute
by the Associated Press

The Securities and Exchange
Commission today weighed It's next
step in the $1O,ooo,ooo Kaiser-Frazer
stock dispute.
The commission yesterday received
a setback In its action against Otis
& Co., Cleveland investment firm,
on charges growing out of the Feb
ruary offering of which the company
was principal underwater.
Judge James w. Morris ruled in
District Court that two Cleveland
attorneys for the company need not
testify at SEC hearings on whether
the commission should suspend or
revoke Otis broker dealer registra.
ton.
Violation of Privilege.
Judge Morris held that it would
violate traditional attorney client
privilege if Marvin c. Harrison and
Allan Hull, the attorneys, were made
to disclose certain conversations with
Cyrus S. Eaton, principal stockholder
OF the underwriting house.
SEC has alleged that these con-
versations-held during the period
of the 100000 share offering-re-
suited in lawsuit which enabled
the underwriters to break their
contract with Kaiser Frazer.
The SEC took the matter to court
after both Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Hull had refused to tell the com.
mission the nature of the dealings
with Mr.. Eaton during the period
under investigation.
SEC Wins One Point.
The court ruled:
!. That the attorneys need not
testify since the SEC did not prove
case of prima facie evidence of
fraud-which would have voided the
attorney-client relationship.
2. That the SEC has jurisdiction
to carry on its investigation but
without the testimony OF Mr.. Har-
rison and Mr.. Hull.
Judge Morris ruled in favor Of
SEC on one point. He declared that
Otis & Co. has no power to seek
Iinjunctions halting proceedings
against it. ~
But Louis Loss, SEC attorney5in
charge of the case. would not say
when or whether hearings will be
resumed. He had indicated earlier
that the decision would be appealed
to Circuit Court.

Progressives Take
Illinois Ballot Fiqht
To Supreme Court
eY tho Asseeiafad Rrass

Henry A. Wallace's Progressive
Party asked the Supreme Court
yesterday to force Illinois to give
1t place on the ballot for the
general election now only two weeks
away.
Illinois Joined in the plea, Assist
ant Attorney General William C.
Wines saying the State had made a
mistake" in enacting the law
under which the Wallaceites have
been ruled of the ballot.
Opposition came from Melvin F.
Wingersky, assistant States attor-
ney representing the Cook County
Chicago clerk and the Chicago
Board of Election Commissioners.
He said 1t would create "a very seri-
Gus problem" If the ballot were
opened to Progressive Party candi-
dates now.
The court was asked to decide the
case before the end of the week in
an emergency appeal by the Progress
sives after low court decisions went
against them.
A 1895 amendment to Illinois elec-
tion laws provides that nominating
petitions of political parties must
bear at least $4,000 signatures and
that at least so of the States 1O2
counties must be represented by at
least 200 names each.
The Progressive Party's petition
had $4,000 signatures, but after some
OF them had been ruled invalid, the
petition had 200 or more in only Al
counties.
John ]. Abt and Richard F. Watt
lawyers for the Progressives, argued
that the law was unreasonable and
discriminatory. They said the 81
per cent Of Illinois voters residing
in the 40 most populous counties
could be prevented from getting q
candidate on the ballot.
THE signature of a voter, no mat
ter where he resides, should be
counted" Mr.. Watts said, in attack
ing the constitutionality of the
State law.
Mr.. Wines, speaking for the State
took the same view. He noted that
parties which polled per cent of
the Statewide vote in the previous
general election do not have to file
nominating petitions, and there is
no requirement for any particular
geographical distribution of their
votes.

| Leads 10 ) Arrests,
Including His Own

The holdup of a Northeast sand
wich shop early yesterday was gen.
uine enough, but police refused to
accept one mans version of it and
charged him and two others with

John D. Deadmon, A, of the 370O
block Of Ninth street NV, told
police he was robbed of $12 by
three men, who then forced him
to accompany them while they
robbed the Little Tavern In the
TOO block of H street NE, of $75.58.
While police broke down his story
in day-long questioning yesterday,
Prince Georges County police were
rounding up the two men accused
with him.
Once Worked at Shop.
Police said Deadmon admitted
having part in planning the rob-
berry and that he supplied the
weapon used, but did not enter the
sandwich shop because he had once
been employed there and feared he
would be recognized.
Lobbie Delman Harris, %, of Bal
timore, was arrested by Pvts. Adam
j. Lindsey, John L. Tucker and
David F. Dudley and Corpl. Roland

dali and 1t. Otto Fuss.

found a 80 caliber revolver in the
car.
A fourth man Is sought.

Walter j. Casey this morning, Bate
man, who appeared with only one
shoe on, admitted stealing the car
in Baltimore, but denied taking part
in the robbery. He told the court he
was so drunk" he didn't know what
was going on.
Harris admitted his part, impli-
Gated Bateman and Deadmon and a
fourth man, identified only as Bob. "
All were held for the grand jury
on bonds of $4,000 each.

even though the Civil Service Com
mission has certified permanent
status employees for the positions in
question.
The proposed permanent unit
also would delve into all other per-
sonnel practices in the Government
to make sure that they conformed
with the law. Proponents of such a
unit argue that any agency evasions
of civi, service regulations "are a
fraud against not only the employees
involved, but against the people OF
the United States"
They argue that the Government
and the American public ARE not
getting their moneys worth" when
the most competent personnel, as
determined by civil service exam
nations, are not given first choice at
available jobs.
Staff members Of both commit
tees are giving the proposal serious
consideration. And, If the President
were inclined, such an FBI unit
could probably be set up by execu-
tive order.

NO PUBLICITY - James M.
Mitchell, the new civil service COM
missioner, took the oath of office
yesterday in simple swearing-in
ceremony at the commissions Offices.
For some reason or other, the press
was not invited to the ceremony.
1t was explained that Mr.. Mitchell

ministrative assistant to President
Truman; Luther C. Steward, presi-
dent of the National Federation Of

LABOR DEPT.-The new Assistant
Secretary of Labor is expected to be
Ralph Wright. an off1cial of the In

Mr.. Wright will replace John T.
Kmetz, who resigned last June.
The appointment will leave two
top jobs open in the Labor Depart

and the undersecretaryship.
DIM-The professional staff of
the Senate Civil Service Committee
has Joined the Civil Service Commits
sion in opposing any lowering Of the
Governments present retirement
age.
For some time the commission has
strenuously opposed any attempt to
lower the retirement age, but the
Senate Cicil Service Committee al
ways has been inclined to favor it.
But now, committee staff members
say ut would not be feasible to lower
the retirement age at this time"
These staff members say that the
Government ALREADY is far out In
front of private industry in the mat
ter of liberal retirement benefits for
its empoyes."
We've got to wait for private in
dustry to catch up with us bit
before we can liberalize still further
the Governments retirement sys-
tem," a staff member said.
Government employees groups seek
full retirement rights after 80 years
Of service, regardless Of age.
