Police Case NoIIe Pressed
In SchuIer Traffic Death

The United States attorneys
office today nolle pressed a negli-
gent homicide charge against
Henry A. Scoggins. 20, Of 1851
Penn street NE, who was cleared
October 81 by q coroner's jury
investigating the traffic death Of
Ia 59-year-old pedestrian.
Police, who had charged Mr..
Scoggins with negligent homicide
In Municipal Court q few hours
before the coroner's jury cleared
him. had asked the United States
attorneys Office to prosecute the
charge, nevertheless.
However, today, Assistant Unit
ed States Attorney Martin Nc
Namara. jr., nolle pressed the
case because, he said. there was
insufficient evidence to justify the
charge.
Verdicts of accidental death by
a coroner's jury ordinarily close
such cases. Police had asked this
one be prosecuted because they
expressed dissatisfaction with the
jury's verdict.
The traffic victim was Anton
Schuler, So, who was fatally in
jured October 20 at Seventeenth

Spain 10 Defense Pact

Senator O'Conor, Democrat, Of
Maryland last night called for
the inclusion of Spain in the
North Atlantic defense pact for
military and economic reasons.
The Maryland Senator ques-
toned this Governments present
Indifferent attitude toward Spain"
and suggested the State Depart
ment did not require of Russia
and her satellites the reforms it
is insisting on in Spain as a con-
dition to the resumption Of full
diplomatic relations with that
country. ., -..,
Senator O'Conor has just re-
turned from a week at the United
Nations meetings in his capacity
as chairman of a Senate Subcom-
mittee on international Organi-
cations.
I'VE should not overlook the
fact that Great Britain maintains
trade agreements with Spain, as
do France and Belgium, in the
amount of millions of dollars
yearly. and are continually in the
process of negotiating new trade
agreements" said the Senator.
Neither should we overlook the
fact that. in adhering to our
present policy towards Spain, We
are cutting off a large market for
our surplus products, particularly
cotton, for which Spain has al
ways been most profitable mar
kef"

Of the present personnel"
The, commission was appointed
by the National Education Asso-
citation and the American Asso-
ciation Of School Administrators.
Among its 20 members are Gen.
Eisenhower. president of Colum-
bia University, and DR.. James B.
Connant, president Of Harvard.
The commission said ele-
mentary- school attendance, al
ready record-breaking. will in
crease annually for another dec
ade.
1t added that secondary-schoo
enrollments will start climbing
about 1851 and continue to rise
at least until 1860.
when the children born be-
tween 1912 and 1949 are nearly
all In school-as they will be by

Virginia Voters Go to Polls
To Settle Poll Tax Controversy

L. Boothe, incumbent. Democrat.
and Richard w. Buckingham. Re-
publican.
Principal interest in that city,
however, centers on an advisory
referendum which will determine
sentiment on the question of
whether future elections for city
Offices shall be conducted on q
non-partisan basis.
Suffrage Plan Fought.
The controversy over the suf-
frage amendments has found the
Democratic leaders, including
Senator Byrd, Coy. Tuck and
Mr.. Battle, campaigning for
poll tax repeal. Those who sought
repeal for many years. including
the Democratic Liberals. :" Repub-
licans. labor and Negro groups
and some church organizations,
oppose the referendum question
on today's ballot.
Opponents contend the amend
ments' would give the General AS
sembly power to prescribe new
voting qualifications even more
restrictive than the poll tax.
The amendments would abolish
the $3.50 annual poll tax but
would authorize the General As
sembly to impose a capitation tax
up to So year on each adult,
not, however, as a prerequisite to
voting. In addition, voters would
be required to renew their regis
tration annually. Advocates of
repeal propose one of the follow
ing methods: Either by having
voted in the last preceding elec-
ton; by payment Of all personal
property taxes or by renewal
with an election registrar.
Registration books would be
closed 120 days, instead of 80
days, prior to an election, but the
present law requires payment of
the poll tax six months in ad-
vance of an election. The General
Assembly could pass laws pre-
.scribing literacy standards. Pre-
cinct registrars would be abol-
ished but local Boards OF Elec-
ton, functioning under q new
State Board of Elections, would
be established.

ice Told GIN, Ford Gel
Unfair Freight Rate
BY the Associated Press

Two Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiners held yesterday
that a number of railroads have
been giving General Motors and
the Ford Motor Co. "unduly pref
erential" rates on their automo-
bile shipments from assembly
plants. They recommended that
the ICC order the undue prefer
ence stopped.
The ICC must pass on the f1nd-
ings of the examiners and decide
whether to approve this recon-
mendation.
The case developed from COM
plants by other auto makers that
they had, to pay far higher rates
on shipments from their manu-
featuring plants than were
charged on shipments from GIN
and Ford assembly plants.
The complaining companies in
cluded Chrysler. Packard, Hud-
son, Studebaker. Nash and Willys.
Agreeing that there were
grounds for complaint, the ICC
examiners said the lower rates
from assembly plants did not
mean lower retail prices but only
larger profits for GIN and Ford.
They noted that the delivered
price of an automobile ordinarily
includes a charge for freight from
the manufacturing plant.
The examiners said there should
be difference between the rates
from the manufacturing point and
from the assembly points. but said
the present differences range up to
Sc percentage points and are too
great.
They recommended that where
the other companies have to pay
a rate based on IS per cent of the
first-class rate, GIN and Ford as
sembly plants rates be set at not
less Ran 60 per cent of the first
class rate.

A Senate House group organized
a campaign today to block the
armed services from shifting de.

Great Lakes and Coastal States.
Calling itself the Unofficial Ma

next year to bolster the defenses

to set up adequate defenses for
them where they are-not to try

They have mailed report to
81 Senators and 281 Representa-

Lakes regions saying there are in
dications these areas are not ade-
quately defended.
Even more alarming" the re-
port said, sis the recent evidence
that the armed forces are tacitly
admitting this and are making
efforts to move industries from
the areas to inland locations for
security reasons"
The armed forces consider these
areas vulnerable. the report added,
because they are within bombing
range of potential enemies.
