Judge 10 Study Motion
To Rescind Mistria|
Ruling in Wiley Case

Justice Jennings Bailey of District
Court today took under advisement
a motion requesting him to rescind
his action Of last Wednesday in de-
claring a mistrial in the breach Of
promise suit brought by Miss Ca
mile Nowicki, former Capitol Hill
secretary, against Harvey w. Wiley,
jr.
The motion, filed through Attor-
nies Joseph Janousek and Lester
Wood, counsel for Miss Nowicki,
asked the court to "reinstate' the
jury's verdict for $4,000 in behalf of
their client.
In taking the motion under ad-
visement, Justice Bailey gave oppos-
ing counsel one week in which to file
briefs for his consideration in con-
nection with the motion.
Justice Bailey on Wednesday re-
fused to accept the jurys verdict and
declared a mistrial because the jury
had added $4,000 for "aggravation
of damages" Justice Bailey had
informed the jury there were only
two kinds of damages to be consid-
ered-compensatory and punitive.
The jury also had given Miss Now
icki $4,000 for compensatory dam
ages and an equal amount for puni-
tive damages.
Last Wednesday. after telling the
jury to 60 back and reconsider its
verdict, Justice Bailey granted q
motion for mistrial made by At
torney r. J. Hilland, representing
Mr.. Wiley.
Mr.. Wood argued today in behalf
of Miss Nowicki that the jury's ver-
dict should have been accepted
Mr.. Hilland, in turn, argued that
the court was right in declaring
mistrial.
In testifying during the breach
of promise trial, Mr.. Wiley denied
that he had ever promised Miss
Nowicki to marry her, but admitted
he had been intimate with her.

Agricu|tura|Co o-opBi||
Lets Attorney General
Decide on Trust Action

A bill that would give the Attorney
General instead of the Secretary of
Agriculture the right to determine
whether an agricultural cooperative
has created a monopoly in restraint
of trade has been introduced In
Congress.
The measure, written by Repre-
sentative Mason, Republican, of Il
linois, is now before the House Ju-
dietary Committee, although there
is no indication of any early action.
Mr.. Mason introduced his bill fol-
lowing District Court Justice Rich
mond B. Keech's action throwing out
the Governments indictme n
against the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association and
seven Washington area dairies on
monopoly charges.
The bill also gives the Attorney
General the right to determine
whether a coop has unduly en-
hanced prices in restraint of trade
Specifically, it would amend the
26-year- -old Capper-Volstead Act.
Defense attorneys in the dairy
case here argued at length that
the act immunized co-ops from anti
trust prosecution. While Justice
Keech made no ruling on the act
as such, he dismissed the indict-
ment on the grounds that it had
failed to set forth adequate charges
and that Government counsel had
failed to show that the Capper-
Volstead Act did not exempt co-ops.
Mr.. Mason's bill would clear up
this point. Meanwhile, the Justice
Department has not yet announced
when and to what tribunal it will
take its appeal of the Keech deci-
sion.

Airline Revenue Loss

that a proposal is under considera-

$4,000 0App|aud Stunts
AT Virginia Air Show;
Wind CurtaiIs Events

Strong crosswinds and gusts forced
curtailment of an air show at the
Washington Virginia Airport, Bal
ieys Crossroads, yesterday, but about
$4,000 spectators found much to ap-
plaud.
Several of the country's better
known stunt fliers thrilled the crowd
with a variety of stunts and speed
maneuvering in the 18th Langley
Day show, sponsored by the Wash
ington Air Derby Association. Inc.
Only three of seven entrants took
to the air in the one preliminary
contest for amateurs, because of the
wind. This was in competition for
precision landing.
Parachute Jump Cancelled.
OF these participating, Samuel j
Butler of Washington, flying a
Piper cruiser, captured top honors
with a landing average of 40 feet
9 inches from the target spot. He
and the runnerup, David Floyd
of Alexandria. in Luscombe
whose average was 90 feet, received
trophies. The third contestant, who
received honorable mention, was
Dick Schroeder of College Park
flying a Cessna and averaging 104
feet.
Because of the dangerous wind
officials also Cancelled some of the
professional stunt flying events
including a 10,00o-foot parachute
jump by Jack Huber, who has made
more than 1000 jumps. In a short
talk over the public address sys-
tenn, Mr. Huber explained that
aviation enthusiasts insist on the
exercise of judgment to promote
flying safety under all weather
conditions.
Nevertheless, the crowd gave a
big hand to the performers pre-
sented under auspices of Haskell
A. Deaton of Charlotte, N. C.
Plane Picks Up Man on Car.
The spectators were enthusiastic
about Bud Thrasher's boarding an
airplane in fight from the top of
an automobile travelling rs miles per
hour. He grabbed and swung on to
ladder dangling from the plane.
The crowd sympathized with his
brother, Grady Thrasher, in three
unsuccessful attempts to land a
plane on the small platform above
the car. The craft was put down
on the platform as the car sped
along the runway but Mr.. Grady
could not risk cutting his motor to
stay there, on account of the gusts.
Another feature of the program
was the execution of high-speed
maneuvers by Woody Edmondson in
a special Psi Mustang. Mr.. Ed
mondson. who is Gov. Tuck's per-
sonal pilot and holds the speed
record for flights between Washing
ton and Havana, roared across the
field at speeds we'll above 500 miles
an hour.
Other aerobatics included smoke
patterns, comedy events, the perfor-
nance in twin Ercoupe-two planes
bolted together-and the appearance
of crate" of the 1923 pusher type.
Well-known performers, in addi-
ton to those mentioned, included
Ben F.. Huntley and Edwin F.

will soon be all the rage. You sit
down, write out your order on a slip

kitchen below, and as soon as the
order is ready, the table lowers down
through the floor, and presently
shoots up again, all set with your
chosen food.
This marks a new high in modern
efficiency. The old idea of transport

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April 70
Henry Wallace says his new party

years of age a minimum Of $35 a
week.
Our new party Is dedicated to
fighting for adequate benefits, bene-
fits sufficient to insure decent
American standard of living" Mr..
Wallace said in an address here
yesterday.
Upon the basis of minimum
wage Of a dollar an hour, a sound
benefit structure for the social Sc
curity system would not be less than
$35 a week." he said.
Mr.. Wallace spoke at a session OF

Truman Held UnIikeI,
10 Bypass Congress
On Palestine Troops
~ the Asseeiofsd Press

The administration officials pre-
dicted today that President Truman
will ask Congress to approve any use
Of American troops to police Pales-
tine.
This apparently does not rule out
the chance that the President might
in an extreme emergency. order lin
tied forces into the Holy Land to
protect American lives and property
Marines might be used in that
event, although there is no clear
indication that this will happen.
Officials are deeply concerned,
however, lest Arab-Jewish fighting
flare on an even larger scale next
month when the British start with
drawing their troops.
Two Candidates Listed.
Warren r. Austin, American dele
gate, told the United Nations spe-
cial Assembly session on Palestine
Tuesday that the United States is
prepared to send troops to the Holy
Land to support q trusteeship gov
eminent on two conditions:
First, other nations must also pro-
vide forces; second, Arabs and Jews
must agree to a truce.
In Washington this promptly
raised a question as to the Presi-
dents authority to use American
armed forces. Mr.. Austin's state
ment was criticized in the House
yesterday as making a commitment
in violation of the law giving this
Government the right to member
ship in the United Nations.
This law authorized the President
to negotiate agreements with other
U. N. members for an international
police force. These agreements
would then be subject to congress
sional approval. But the agree
ments never have been made be-
cause Of the split between Russia
and the western powers.
Legal Authorities Back Rights.
Administration legal authorities
are understood to have advised the
White House that nothing In the
law prevents the President from
using his constitutional powers as
director Of American foreign policy
and commander in chief OF the
armed forces. =,
Undersecretary Of State Lovet'
told a news conference yesterday
that when Mr.. Austin made his
statement to the U. N. he was. In
effect. recognizing obligations which
this country already has under the
Charter.
As a political matter, however
administration policy makers ap-
parently have decided that the best
course to follow, If troops are re.
quested by the U. N. is to place The
issue before Congress with an ap.
peal for prompt approval.
Actually, diplomatic authorities
say, the most critical immediate
question is not how Congress would
react. Rather they consider 1t tt
be whether the necessary interna'
tional agreements can be reached ir
time to take any effective action
before the British yield their au.
thority over Palestine on May Is.
