In Price-Fixing Case

The Maryland and Virginia

prices and eliminate competition
in the District area.
The court announced that JUS

While the matter was pending
in the Court of Appeals last year.
the association asked the Supreme
Court to find that the associa-
ton was improperly indicted. The
Supreme Court refused to act at

OSLO, Norway, Oct. 10.-La-

be that the Communists would

Mr.. Gerhardsen's laborites held

against q total of "a for the COM
bined opposition ranging from
Conservatives to Communists.
The Labor Party. committed to
wide state planning and public
ownership of certain industries, is
still expected to lead the govern
ment even If it drops its absolute
majority in parliament. This is
because of sharp splits among op-
position parties.
The opposition lineup in the old
parliament was: Conservatives Is.

Austerity Is Factor.
Conservatives - led by Carl
Hambro, former president of the
old League of Nations-hope to
win some former labor votes by
capitalizing on discomfort over
Norwegian austerity. On the other
hand, the Labor Party hopes to
pick I'D votes from leftists who
once voted Communist but, now
are worried about Russian pres

.Cros|ey Head Fears
Radios Death Unless
" Competition Is Gu
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Oct. 10.-Radio will
be killed off by television within
five years unless the Federal
Communications Commission al
lows it to compete on even terms
with its rival, a radio executive
said today.
The only step that can save
radio, according to James D.
Shouse. president Of the Crosley
Broadcasting Corp, is for the big
stations to be granted power in
creases-even at the expense OF
some of the smaller stations, II
necessary.
Unless this is done, he told the
Boston Conference on Distribu-
ton, 'the whole economic base
upon which broadcasting rests
today can collapse-and it need
not necessarily be a slow death.
Terrific Expansion Cited.
Television is expanding at ter
rife rate, Mr.. Shouse declared
and commands an audience al
|legiance which cannot be dismissed
on the basis of mere novelty"
Radios strength is being sapped
he stated, by the FEC policy o1
placing a ceiling on power at the
same time that it licenses "tht
greatest possible number Of sta
tions."
Some broadcasting units will
have to be made stronger in ordel
to prevent a complete deteriora'
ton in service to the public. be-
cause of economic pressures ane

standards of acceptable program
material for products advertised
on the air." he declared.
The FEC, he asserted. "by i'm.
periling the survival possibilities
Of the larger stations, imperils the
survival of all"
Big Advantages Envisioned.
At the same time Mr.. Shouse
envisaged enormous potentialities
for television in the field of ad-
vertising and distribution. By
making the home a salesroom
he predicted, dealers will be able
to operate with smaller inven'
| tories, and manufacturers car
bring out more new models. ad-
just their prices more easily anc
show more caution in their for
ward commitments.

III, ). Must Give Back
$4,000 Seized
As Alien Properly

The government must return
more than $4,000 seized from 8
New York depositor and store en-
ployes by the Alien Property Gus
todian under the Trading With
the Enemy Act.
Under a Court of Appeals rul-
ing today, the funds must be re-
turned to Mrs. Jane Muriel Zan-
der, the employe.
The appellate court decision up
held the effect of a District Court
decision of about year ago, but
failed to agree with District Court
as to the method on which II
reached it's conclusion.
The Court of Appeals held thai
Mrs. Zander, a native-born Ameri.
can, never lost her American citi.
zenship through her marriage tt
a German citizen, Dieter Zander
although German law held other
wise.
She Never was an Enemy.
The Court of Appeals held Dis
trict Court had right to review
Mrs. Zander's case on her conten-
ton that she never was IAN enemy
or an ally of an enemy"
The appellate court, however
held that the lower court did not
have a right to review the case
under a section of the Trading
With the Enemy Act which gives
this Government certain discre-
tion in returning seized funds.
The funds which were seized
from her were from a trust estats
which had been created by her
grandfather. an American citizen
The Court of Appeals opinion
written zy Judge James Proctor
said Mrs. Zander went to Germany
"in June, 1899, for a visit, with hel
return passage booked for Septem-
ber 8, 1882" The opinion then
related:
"A train of fortutitous circum-
stances. starting with the sudden
invasion of Poland. delayed and
finally prevented her return"
Fell in Love Then.
The Court of Appeals then
pointed out that she fell in love
with Mr.. Zander, a German citi-
zen, and married him but rejected
all theories of German citizen
ship" Furthermore. the opinion
pointed out, she had planned hel
marriage with Mr.. Zander on con-
dition that their domicile shoulc
be established in New Orleans
where she formerly had lived fol-
many years and that the marriage
would in no way affect her status
as an American citizen"
The opinion further related
that Mr.. Zander was drafted into
the German army, was taken
prisoner while serving with it ir
Africa, sent to the United State.
and helped indoctrinate his fellow
prisoners with the principles o1
democracy"
Mrs. Zander. the opinion re.
lated, did nothing inconsistent
with loyalty to the United State:
- =" In .1945, disguised as 6
refugee. she fled to the American
Army and rendered service to it
the court pointed out. She re.
turned to this country in 1916.

Mai. Gen. Philip Fleming, Mari
time Commission chairman, told
AFL delegates the Government
was preparing to spend several
million dollars repairing ships on
the West Coast.
This was hailed by AFL metal
working trades, whose leaders
have complained for some time
that Government ship work was

Gen. Fleming put IN a plug fol

that they do not point to fuller

The agreement between the
carpenters and laborers unions Is
an important one in maintaining
building industry peace and pre-
venting serious labor trouble In
many cities.
The two unions have agreed to
split up the work connected with
removing wooden forms used fol-
pouring concrete.
Under the agreement. members
of the carpenters union will re-
move the forms after the concrete
hardens. The laborers union will
have jurisdiction to move the
lumber once it is taken down by
the carpenters.
Laborers To Clean Forms.
The laborers also are given
Jurisdiction to clean, oif and carry
the lumber to the next place it is
to be reused as forms.
On forms which are too worn
to be reused. the carpenters
agreed that laborers can tear them
down. But forms destined to be
be used over are to be taken down
only by the carpenters.
The two unions have been dis
putting over this situation for
years. Strikes have resulted. de-
laying millions Of dollars worth Of
construction on large projects,
such as industrial and commercial
buildings, schools and hospitals.
One of the biggest recent strikes
occurred in st. Louis several
months ago.
Leaders of the two unions have
been trying to work out solution
for some time. Meetings were held
in Washington, Cleveland and
Miami.
Dunlop Helps Settlement.
John T. Dunlop. impartial chair
man of the Building Trades Ma
tional Joint Board for settlement
of jurisdictional disputes, helped
arrange the settlement at the con-
vention here.
The agreement stipulates thai
there shall be no strikes resulting
from any dispute concerning the
type of work covered by the pact
The parties agreed to work out
among themselves without work
stoppages any disagreement aris-
ing under the settlement.
Meanwhile, delegates were ex-
pected to throw support behind a
