BALTIMORE, Oct. THE love

California has saved a convicted
burglar from going back for 10
years. ... r.
The love of blond Peggy Peterson
persuaded the usually stern Judge
Robert France to set free today
the man she had followed across
the continent.
But the judge said marriage will
have to wait a while.
Up for sentence was 24-year -old
William j. Sansbury on charges of
forgery amounting to $875. The
Judge found him guilty. sentenced
him to 10 years and suspended
sentence, saying:
1T is her belief in you that to
a large extent is responsible for
your receiving a suspended sem
tence. Do not let her down"
Three Probation Terms.
The judge then set three unusual
probation terms in addition to the
customary regulations which are
for three years.
"One, no part Of Miss Peggy
Peterson's personal funds are to
be used to make restitution.
Two. you and Miss Peterson
are not to marry during the pc
riod of one year. Lhave discussed
this with Miss Peterson and she
agrees.
Three. that If, as and when
you receive Federal money from
your national service life insur-
ance. you will use this sum toward

serving 81 months for burglary
and she worked there as an office

A. & P. Suit May Lead
To Tax-Free Coop,
Rep. Mason Warns

Representative Mason, Repub-
lican, of Illinois. called on Congress
yesterday to close loopholes in the
Federal tax laws which he said
more than $1,000, 100000 of rev.
enue is being lost annually.
Mr.. Mason warned that the
Governments prosecution OF the
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.
on antitrust charges may force
that large grocery chain to con-
vert into a tax-free cooperative,
thereby depriving the Government
of more than $15,000,000 a year
in taxes.
He quoted John Hartford, pres
ident of the grocery chain, as
threatening to do that if the Gov
ernment's action succeeds. II am
Informed" Mr.. Mason added, that
score of other big companies
are ready to follow A. 81 P.'s lead
in avoiding taxes"
Mr.. Mason charged that doing
business without paying taxes is
becoming a national racket" "
Among them, he said are many
educational institutions which are
investing their funds in business
in competition with others that
pay taxes.
The Illinois representative is
author of bill to impose income
taxes on the business earnings OF
certain exempt corporations and
organizations. That bill Is now
before the House Ways and Means
Committee and will be considered
in connection with the proposed
1850 revenue bill.
"All officials of the Government

sources of revenue" Mr.. Mason

ANA Probe Involves
Prepaid Medical Care,
Justice Unit Says
BY the Assoeietsd Press

The Justice Department says it
is investigating the American
Medical Association and Is af-
filiated organizations because of
complaints of an effort to mo
nopolize" prepaid medical care
plans.
Attorney General McGrath is
sued a statement after the ANA
Board in Chicago had disclosed
the inquiry and complained that
its offices had been broken into in
q search for records. .
Mr.. McGrath said:
THE Justice Department has
received numerous complaints
from doctors and the general pub
lie charging the American Medi-
cal Association and certain other
medical associations with conspir-
ing to restrain and monopolize
the prepaid medical care plans not
conducted under their sponsorship
and operated in competition with
plans controlled by them.
May Take Further Action.
Should the investigation dis
close that the complaints are we'll
founded and a violation Of law
exists, further action by the De-
partment of Justice to eliminate
such violation. would seem to be
Indicated"
The Justice Department first re-
fused to comment but William c.
Dixon. West Coast head of the
antitrust division. provided first
details Of the Governments aims.
He told reporters in Los Angeles
that the Department is looking
into the Los Angeles County Medi-
:al Associations relationships with
hospitals.
He said the FBI also is inquiring
into charges of discrimination
against doctors who participate in
medical service groups. and is
interested in claims that non
members of the association have
been barred from hospitals and
hospital services through the
American Medical Associations
system of accreditng hospitals.
Funds Grants Considered.
"In some instances. we are in
formed the medical association has
refused to place hospitals on the
American Medical Association ap-
proved list unless all doctors on
the staff belong to the associa-
tion," he said.
I'm other instances American
Medical Association members who
are directors of hospitals have
ruled that only American Medical
Association doctors can use the
hospitals facilities.
I'VE are also inquiring into the
effect Of this system upon alloca-
tion of public funds to hospitals,
to determine whether or not they
have been denied grants by
Federal and other agencies"

Admiral Radford replied that
this was so, but that the Navy
could not get its thinking across

He said that some of our civil

hope for improvement until I'VE

But, Mr.. Vinson persisted, wasn't
the Navy's strength traditionally
related to the sea power of poten-
tial enemy nations?
Admiral Radford said that was
the case until 1910. when the
Navy became air-minded."
Now. he said. its Importance is
in its ability Ito project mobile
air power anywhere in the world
where there's enough water, and
that's large part of the world
no other nation can do that"
| Representative Short Of Mis-
souri,, ranking Republican member
Of the committee, asked Admiral
Radford if the committee was to
understand that the decision to
buy more B-36's was not jointly
reached Admiral Radford said
that was true and that the decision
apparently was made by the Sec
retary of the Air Force.
Mr.. Short then asked If Admiral
Radford believed Air Secretary
Symington "overrode" the Navy in
the matter.

stance" Admiral Radford an

much rather sacrifice the free
will than sacrifice the entire be-
ing of the person.
To the observant Jew, the laws
of Kashruth are in essence. a
divine Pure Food Act bequeathed
to the Jews by divine ordinance.
The observant Jew also under
stands that Kasruth was the bull
wark that protected the Jewish
nation from complete assimilation
in the two millennium of exile
among the nations. It is eX-
tremely hard to conceive a Jew
ish people remaining intact in its
physical and spiritual being with
out the protective separation
from disintegration through con-
tact with an alien environment,
which the laws of Kashruth and
Shabbos set up for the Jew.
In our days, the very same
thoughts are applicable. The re-
turn to the land of Israel does
not, in any way, negate or con-
tradict the divinity of the Kash-
ruth law. And, even in the land
of Israel, the problem of pres
ervation of Jewish culture and
religion is actual. The danger of
assimilation of Jewish values is
a matter of concern even in the
Jewish land. In Galut, Exile, the
individual was constantly con-
fronted with the threat of losing
his Jewish identity, whereas
now, in Israel, there is a more
terrible danger, the threat of
national assimilation. If some
extreme friction in Israel would
have its way, the distinctiveness
that was associated with Jewry
would be entirely obliterated.
The religion and culture which
two thousand years of exile were
powerless to destroy, will van
ish in one generation on the soil
of Israel! That must not happen!
And, as hitherto in Galus,, the
only protective measure we had
against assimilation was the in
dividuaps strict adherance to the
religious laws and practices, so,
now in Israel, is the only pre-
ventative measure, the strict ad-
herance of the government as a
whole, to the laws of Kashruth
and Shabbos.
AS a Jew, I have faith in the
eternity of my people. AS a
religious Jew, I have faith in
the eternity of Jewish religious
practices. I am confident that
after the initial 'birth-pangs'
that is concomitant with any new
development, religion will take
its eminent place in the life of

not less than $25,000,000 of sub
sides the commission granted for

superliner and five other ships
must be considered as excessive
