ing them as genuine Virginia

Jayeees Hear Ford
Hit Phone Removals
As Unconstitutional

The constitutionality of tele-
phone removals during the cur
rent gambling investigation was
attacked yesterday by Charles z.
Ford. counsel for many of those
faced with losing their phones in
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay's antigambling cru
sade.
Mr.. Ford dashed out at requested
suspension Of phone service to
gaming suspects as "a true ex-
ample Of conduct in q police
state"
Speaking at q luncheon of the
Junior Board of Commerce in the
Burlington Hotel. he declared that
telephones are a public utility and
should be provided without dis
elimination or distinction.
1.-The United States attorney"
he said, saw fit to write to the
telephone company and advise
them that at such-and- such an
address there is evidence that the
phone Is being used for unlawful
representation of gambling
statutes"
He said that 1t is the duty of
the United States attorney Ito en-
force such statutes in the way pro-
vided by law--not his law-but
the law on the statute books.
That. we will support"
He complained that the Public
Utilities Commission has not acted
on a petition on whether it will
stand behind the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. regulation
calling for removal of telephones
suspected of unlawful use.
Before Mr.. Fords speech, a plan
was outlined for presenting each
boy In the city with literature on
the Boy Scouts when he reaches
the age Of IL.
The program is known as "Op-
Grafton H." 1t Is sponsored by the
Junior board in cooperation with
the Board Of Education, the edu-
cation Office of the Catholic
schools and the National Capital
Area Scout Council.
The first handbook explaining
Scout activities was presented to
John Hall, 2402 Twenty-first place
NE. The program Is being carried
on now in the District and nine
States. If successful, it will be in
troduced on a Nationwide scale.
DR.. Hobart M. Corning. super
intendent of schools, and a rep
resentative for Msgr. John Spence,
director Of education for the Cath
Ollie schools, were present.
