Accused of assault with intent 10

weeks before her death from nat
ural causes" Jesse Ward, 56, today
awaited grand jury action under
$500 bond on the charge.
Assistant United States Attorney

L street Sc, on February "a. Police;
reported to the prosecutor that.
when they answered the origina!
call, they found Mrs. Ward ap-
parently was hurt only slightly and

couldn't get along.
The next day, however. the wife
was removed to Gallinger where
she died on March g. Deputy Coro-
ner Richard Rosenberg in his
autopsy ascribed death to a stroke.
Mr.. Wilson said he is proceeding
with the charge against Ward be-

The Safeway chain also said sales
were down but would not say how
much. Local Safeway officials said,
however, that no figures on soap
sales are available locally.
1t was pointed out that one ma
Tor soap producer now is engaged
in large-scale coupon redemption
campaign, while other firms are
running similar sales campaigns or
arer planning them. This was in
terpreted by one merchant as an
indication of sales decline, while
another merchant said it meant a
return to something like the pre-
war competitive situation.
Trade sources in New York, ac-
cording to the Associated Press,
said easing of the fat shortage and
a weakening buying power had
caused the drop in sales. The A. &.
P. said people had stocked up on
soap during last years shortage,
thus leSsening current demand.
Both bar and fake soaps have been
affected.

Warren Sees 0utIawinq
OF Reds as Futile Gesture
By the Asyoeiofed Press

SACRAMENTO, Calf. May s.
Gov. Warren. a Republican presi-
dental candidate, said yesterday
that outlawing of the Communist
Party by name. as advocated by
Harold E. Stassen, would be an idle
gesture"
Gov. Warren said at press con-
ference he would invite both Mr..
StaSsen and Gov. Dewey of New
York to visit him on their West
ern campaign tours in behalf of
the Republican presidential nomi-
nation. But. he added, the invita-
tions we're not for political purposes.
They are both friends of mine
of long standing" Gov. Warren
said. Mr.. Stassen's viewpoint on
the Communist Party is under fire
by Gov. Dewey on tour of Oregon.
Explaining his viewpoints on
Communists, Gov. Warren said that
most real Communists were not
registered under that party but
belong to other parties. He assert
ed there should be IAN effective
criminal statute against any person
or group of persons seeking to over
throw our Government"

Restoration Of Rule
Curtai|ing Outside
Auctioneers Asked

A group OF District auctioneers
today asked the Commissioners to
restore a recently amended police
regulation which required auc-
tioneers conducting business in the
District to be residents here for
at least six months.
After a hearing this morning
Attorney Ringgold Hart, spokesman
for the auctioneers, said he was not
seeking reversal of the Commits
sionerS' action so far as it pertains
to the current sale Of the personal
property of the late Mrs. Evelyn
Walsh Mclean. The controversy
arose last week when a firm of
New York auctioneers was brought
in to conduct the auction of Mrs
McLeans valuables-at her home,
Friendship. Wisconsin avenue and
r street NV.
Thurman Arnold, executor of Mrs.
McLean,S estate, had asked the
Commissioners to amend the police
regulation to permit use of the
New York company. After a con-
ference with Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West. the city heads
amended the regulation to permit
the Importation
Mr.. Hart said the Commissioners
did not consult with Washington
business groups before changing the
regulations. He added they ignored
the purpose of the regulations which
is to prevent ''unscrupulous" auc-
tioneers from doing business.
Mr.. Hart and Attorney William
H. Collins contended the firms they
represent were quite capable" of
handling the Mclean sale.
The Commissioners today took
under consideration the suctioneers'
protest and request for restoration
of the Six-month provision.

Asked
For Monday on
Home-RuIe Bill
Rules Committee
Action Sought After
Favorable Report

Anxious to obtain a special order
for early House action on the Dis
trict home rule bill. leaders of the
proposal today asked Chairman
Allen of the House Rules Commit
tee for hearing next Monday.
The request was made by District
Committee Chairman, Dirksen. who,
like other proponents of the bill, was
cheered by yesterdays 14-to-s fa-
vorable committee report.
The bill could be taken up auto
matically in the House on the next
District day, which will be next
Monday.
For strategic reasons, however. an
effort was to be made to get
green light" from the Rules Com
mittee, which has the job of chart
ing bills for House consideration.
Hope of favorable reaction there
was held by sponsors of the bill.
especially in view of the general
Endorsement given the measure by
Speaker Martin.
Vote Viewed as Support.
Sponsors regarded the District
Committee vote as substantial and
comfortable measure of support for
the revised Auchincloss bill, which
calls for an elected and reorganized
city government, leaving final legis-
lative control still in the hands OF
Congress.
The measure. although revised in
numerous respects in the full COM
mittee, still carries the basic plan
for an elected council of 70 mem
bers, to succeed the appointed Board
of commissioners as the top city
policy making body. and an elected
school board of eight members to
take over the work of the appointed
Board OF Education.
Vote Bears Out Poll.
The council would name a man.
ager to be the citys chief admin
istrative officer, and the District
would elect nonvoting District
delegate in the House.
1estcIudy VOCe Dy tne DlStrlct
Committee bore out the poll made
by The Star and reported April 1s.
which predicted favorable report
and listed IA favorable votes.
Chairman Dirksen, in announce
ing the IA to vote with three mem
bers not present or not giving prox-
les, said it had been agreed the roll
call of members would not be dis
closed.
