District Wins Appeal
AGAINST Milk Price
EscaIator Clause

The United States Court of Ap-
peals ruled today that the District
will not have to pay the Wake
field Dairy an additional S4.482
for milk purchased for public in
stitutions here in 1946.
The milk was purchased under
a contract which contained an
"escalator clause" to cover any
price changes set by tht Office of
Price Administration which then
was still in existence.
The appellate court held that
the clause, although prepared
while OPA was still in effect,
nevertheless was not binding be-
cause OPA went out of existence
before the contract ended.
The dairy claimed it sustained
losses amounting to $4,482 because
prices the dairy paid to producers
for milk products were increased,
but the District refused to help
absorb the increase by paying
more for its purchases.
The Wakefield attorney, John
F. Hillyard, contended in the suit
that although OPA was suspended
while the escalator clause was in
effect, other existing Government
agencies took over price regula-
ton functions.
Mr.. Hillyard contended that the
PRICE Decontrol ;, Board, and the
Agriculture Department were. .OPA
successors" having power to fix
dairy products prices and that the
escalator clause still was binding.
Chief Judge Harold M. Ste
phens held, however. that the
decontrol board and the Agricul-
ture Department were not "suc-
cessors" to OPA. He further
pointed out that the decontrol
board, acting under powers dele
gated by Congress. refused to
keep the dairy products in ques-
ton under Federal price controls.

Operating Employees
To Strike Friday on
Missouri Pacific
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ST. LOUIS, Sept. cooperating
employees of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad have called strike for
2p.m. Friday.
The announcement was made
yesterday by P. j. Neff, who
termed it lone of the most un-
justifiable strikes in American
railroad history" Mr.. Neff is the
lines chief executive officer.
About 5000 workers will walk
out. But Mr.. Neff estimated that
between $4,000 and $4,000 en-
ployes will be out of work as a
result.
Claims Originated in War.
Mr.. Neff said the Oft t-threatened
strike has been called because. the
railroad will not agree to terms
dictated by four train service
brotherhoods for settlement of
claims which originated during
the war.
These claims principally con-
cerned which employees should
have been used for services during
this period and, in general way,
involve the interpretations OF the
working rules between the carrier
and it's employees" Mr.. Neff said.
THE Railway Labor Act pro-
vides a peaceful way for the set
tlement of such disputes but the
employees have refused to submit
their claims to the tribunals pro-
vided for in this act"
Industries Will Be Hit.
Suspension of service on the
Missouri Pacific will hit hard at
many industries and territories
served by the line in II States.
The strike will force discon-
tinuance of through service with
the railroads Southern lines. the
International-G Great Northern and
the Gulf Coast lines.
A strike vote was taken last
December Is and a walkout was
scheduled for early in July. This
was averted, however, when Presi-
dent Truman appointed an emer-
gency board to investigate the
case.
The board made a report OF
findings in August.
Mr.. Neff charged that the four
brotherhoods involved refused to
follow the boards recommended
tionS.

the license of Brinkleys Restau-
rant, 533 Eighth street Sc. The

Schafer, had appealed the ABC
Boards decision of a month ago,

The regulations prescribe that
an establishment must do so per
cent of its business in food to
be entitled to an ABC license.
District inspectors said Brinkley's
did only 20 per cent of its busi-
ness in food and the rest in liquor.

Mr.. Hoover.
Shoots Bride Down.
Then he ran into a shoe repair
shop at 3206 and killed the pro-
prietor.
From there Unruh dashed into
a dry cleaning establishment at
3218 and killed the proprietor
there. At the same address he
found the bride and shot her.
Then, Detective Thompson said,
Unruh ran to his own room where
he had what Thompson described
as an arsenal of knives, clubs and
ammunitions.
He barred the door and took
shots out the window at passersby
in the street. He felled several Of
them.
Among those shot down in the
street was 6-year-old Morris
Smith and Thomas Hamilton, 2.
Both died later at Cooper Hos
pital in Camden.
Shots Out of Window Kill Two.
Also killed by out-the-window
shots were James j. Hutton, As, OF
nearby Westmont, N. j., and Alvin
M. Day of Mantua. N. j.
It was 1915 am. when Unruh
was captured.
The dead and wounded were
taken to Cooper Hospital. which
for time resembled q field station
at a battlefront. "
All available doctors and nurses
were pressed into service as the
litters were brought in.
The policemen and county
detectives tried to shoot 1t
out with Unruh by pumping
bullets through the windows OF
his room. That failed.
Tear Gas Bombs.
Then they sent out for machine
guns and tear gas.
Tear gas bombs were tossed
through the bullet-smashed win
dow.
A few moments later Unruh
opened the door and staggered
out. He was quiet.
Police formed a shoulder to-
shoulder marching ranks. They
hustled Unruh into a waiting pa
troll wagon.
The street crowd, which in
cluded many whose kin were slain,
surged angrily against the police
lines, shouting, screaming the bel
lowing.
But they didn't crash the line.
Described as Quiet.
Residents of the River Road
neighborhood described Unruh as
a quiet, rather handsome young
man who lived alone and always
dressed well and in good taste.
After the shootings, police threw
a Gordon around the neighborhood
and undertook a house-to-house
search for any dead or wounded
who might have been overlooked
in the excitement.
ut was just like a battle" said
Dominic Latela. "a, who runs a
frozen food business at 3216 River
Road.
II was in my shop when heard
shots and saw a bunch of children
run out of the barber shop, Mr..
Latela said. Then one woman
came out carrying a child. I took
the child from her and rushed him
to the hospital. Before I left I
heard at least 10 more shots"
The child was the Hamilton
boy who died after reaching the
hospital.
Eyewitnesses - and there were
hundreds of them-likened the
peaceful neighborhood to scene
of war"
And one of those who watched
the shootings related how Unruh
calmly took time off from his wild
barrage to lean from the window
of his room and spit.

|Bee|zebub Introduce,
AT Bridges Trial as
Red Amid Laughter
By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. IA
pseudo-serious discussion of the
relationship of Beelzebub (the
Evil One of the Bible) to the Com
munist Party rocked the Harry
Bridges perjury trial with gales of
laughter here yesterday.
The break in the solemn and
often stormy Federal Court trial
of the West Coast longshore
leader developed shortly after a
Government witness. Manning R.
Johnson of New York, had testi-
fed that Bridges twice had been
a member of the powerful Polit-
ical Bureau of the Communist
Party in America.
Johnson. a Negro and now in
ternational representative of the
AFL Clerks Union, testified he had
become a Communist in 1881 while
working as a longshoreman in
Buffalo, N. Y, and had quit in
1899, shortly after the announce
ment of the Soviet-Nazi Germany
pact.
It was Johnson's explanation
of his resignation that brought out
the reference to Beelzebub and the
roar of laughter that accompanied
it.
Couldn't Serve Two Masters.
II came to the realization, -
Johnson explained. there was no
possibility of serving two masters.
I had to serve constantly Joe
Stain as against Uncle Sam. I
could no more do that than serve
God and Beelzebub (sic)."
Defense Attorney Vincent Halli-
nan Immediately asked, with a
straight face: =
"Well, Mr.. Beelzebub is not
identified as a member of the
Communist Party. Is he one Of
this gentleman's associates? I
think Mr.. Beelzebub should be
identified" -.-.
Maybe" suggested smiling
Judge George B. Harris. che Is the
unidentified witness"
Chief Prosecutor F. Joseph Don
ohue explained amid more laugh
ter that "Mr. Beelzebub is the evil
one"
| Denied Being Communist.
Johnson's testimony yesterday
Iopened the prosecutions second
phase of its attempt to convict
Bridges of perjury in connection
with his naturalization in 1945.
The longshore leader is charged
with perjury in testifying at a nat
uralization hearing that he was
not and had not been a member OF
the Communist Party. Two union
officials. r. Robertson and
Henry Schmidt-are co-defend-
ants, charged with conspiracy.
Earlier, Government witnesses
testified that Bridges, a 48-year-
old native of Australia, had been
recruited into the Communist
Party in the early 1930s.
johnson, who has testified at a
number of Communist hearings In
New York, Washington, D. c., and
Washington State. testified that
bridges first was selected for the
Communist Bureau in 1886 and
again in 1888.
The witness was still undergo.

cording to the County Board of
Education.

ly that most of the Negro schools

1T will, perhaps, be a number
Of years." Mrs. Sandifer wrote,
before all the schools for white
children can be brought up to the
high standard being achieved in
the new buildings for colored chill
dren." ..
In replying to another commit
tee charge that separate school
systems for white and colored chill
dren are inefficient and expen-
sive," Mrs. Sandifer pointed out
that Maryland school laws re-
quire segregation.

Mrs. Rachel Roger were appointed
to teach at the Bethesda and East

respectively.

Nehru Tells indians Of
His Visit With Americans

NEW DELHI, India - (ANP) -
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
of India who has just returned from
an extensive though rapid visit to
the United States during which he
Travelled over much of that country
told some of his impressions We'd
nesday. Among these were his ex-
periences with American Negroes, a
the brown skinned people of India
point of considerable interest among
who have heard much of treatment
of minorities in the United States.
Nehru said he had met a number
of Negro leaders in the United
States who told me of both great
progress they had made and the
great disabilities they still suffer-"
Some" the distinguished Indian
leader said, were satisfied with
that progress, others We're impatient
for greater progress, the same as
the people of India"
While he was in the United
States and after the close of his of
fetal visit, Nehru asked specifically
that a conference with American
Negroes be arranged. He had not
had an opportunity for any close
contact with them previously during
his stay other than the occasional
Negro visitor at one of his recep-
tions.
Ralph Bunche and Walter White
arranged a conference with a group
of well known Negroes and after
giving him survey of Negro life
and status in this country took him
on an auto tour of Harlem.
