Small Loan Companie!
Hit New Regulations

Attorney William r. Lichtenberg
protested what he termed "unduly
burdensome aspects" of proposed
new regulations for small loan
companies here at the Commis-
sioner's board meeting today.
Mr.. Lichtenberg. who represents
many small loan companies here,
and other attorneys attended the
meeting to give the city heads their
views of the proposed stricter
regulations.
Referring to a section requiring
delivery to each borrower, at the
time o loan is made. Of copies of
all papers relating to the loan and
security, as well as certif1cation
under oath that the copies are true
copies. Mr.. Lichtenberg asked:
What are you trying to do to
us?"
Expressing objections to the
duplication of work involved by
the requirement, Mr.. tichtenberg
went on to argue that unreason-
able requirements on small loan
firms would send the business into
Maryland and Virginia. deprivine
the District of the income tax
returns.
I'VE want to operate this busi-
ness in q legitimate way" he de-
clared. I'VE want to be regulated
in q reasonable way"
Attorney Martin r. ODonoghue,
of the District Bar Associations
Small Loan Committee, replied
that the proposed regulation
would provide a borrower with a
breakdown of what he was paying
for.
The proposed regulations were
sent to the Commissioners for
their approval by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Chester H. Gray,
climaxing a study of. present reg
ulations which began last Novem-
her.

Medina Refuses Plea
To Free Green and
Warns Others on Trial
BY The Assoeia'ed Press


NEW YORK, June 23.-Federa,
Judge Harold r. Medina today re-
fused to release Gilbert Green
Communist conspiracy trial de.
fendant sentenced to jail for con.
tempt Monday.
Defense attorneys asked that
Green's bail either be reinstated OF
that his contempt , sentence be
stayed pending a ruling Of the
Court Of Appeals in the matter.
But Judge Medina denied the
motions and said he would impose
similar penalties in the future II
his warnings about courtroom con-
duct continue to be ignored.
Appeals Under Consideration.
Green, a Chicago resident who
is Illinois Communist Party chair
man, was sentenced to be held In
Jail between court sessions for the
remainder of the trial after the
defendant had objected to a court
ruling and snapped:
II thought we were going to gel
q chance to prove our case"
On June 8. the judge sentenced
three other defendants to jail for
contempt. John w. Gates was
given 80 days. Gus Hall and
Henry Winston were ordered
locked UP for the duration of the
trial.
The United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals now Is considering de-
fense pleas that bail be reinstated
for these three.
Judge Defends Action.
The defense based most of Its
argument to Judge Medina on the
indefinite length of Green's SEN
tence.
Attorney Abraham Isserman
contended that "the length of the
sentence depends on how long the
defendant puts in his defense. 1t
Is unfair because each day the
defense Is extended means another
day that the sentence is extended"
The Judge commented that
"what surprises me is that you
say nothing of what these men
did. I went through months of
restraint and it was not as
though I acted without warning.
II warned several times that
these repeated outbursts would
mean I'd have to take action, yet
no one took these warnings seri-
ously."
Judge Medina said that if the
Court of Appeals upheld defense
contentious concerning the in
determinate nature of the SEN
tences. the higher court probably
would send the cases back to
him for resentencing.
Green Radio Address Quoted.
In evidence introduced yester-
day, Green was quoted as saying
in q 1947 radio address:
*The only time Communists
would advocate force and violence
would be in case-heayen forbid
America became the victim of
q Fascist dicta tor. =
In the same speech, Green also
was quotsd4as@saying: :
There. are those who ACCUSE
the Communists of seeking the
overthrow of the Government by
force and violence. How many
times must the Communist Party
deny this slander2
IT altxutfiurized to offer $1,000
to any Nerson or group or organi-
zation that can prove We advocate
force and violence To overthrow
the Government
The three quoted passages were
read In court by United States
Attorney John r. x. McGohey,
after q see-saw legal wrangle be-
tween prosecution and defense
lawyers.
Originally. the defense sought
to introduce the entire speech
as evidence, but Judge Medina up
held prosecution objections.

Mr.. kelley INDICATED yesterday
that he would wind up his cross
examination this afternoon,
The trial probably will continue
through most Of next week.
Mr.. Kelley began his question
ing Tuesday afternoon. after Miss
Coplon had testified, under direct
examination by Mr.. Palmer. She
took the stand in her own behalf
last Thursday Afternoon.
Signs Of Hysteria.
The defendant betrayed signs Of
hysteria late yesterday as she
sought to explain her conduct In
several all-night stays with q
''platonic" fellow employe OF the
Justice Department. who. she said.
had tried to break OF her relation
ship with Gubitchev.
Miss Coplon expressed the belief
that the fellow employe. II. p.
Shapiro, a bachelor attorney in the
Justice Department. took part In
an alleged FBT "frameup" against
her.
The Government had charged
that Miss Coplon spent the night
with MFR. Shapiro IN Baltimore
and Philadelphia hotels and at
his apartment here last winter.
This was done In an effort to
disprove her story that she was
deeply" In love with Gubitchev
at the time.
The defense has contended
throughout the lengthy District
Court trial that Miss coplon met
the Russian some nine times IN
New York since September be-
cause she found him charming, !"
eventually iell in love with him

Reason Is ACHIEVING
Civil Rights Progress,
Houston Tells Bar Unit

The progress Of the Negro in
attaining civil rights has been
accompanied by less violence than
was experienced by any other
group of similar size in other ma
tions, Charles II. Houston. promI-
nent Negro attorney, said last
night.
Mr.. Houston was given a testi-
monial dinner for outstanding
work in civil rights cases here.
by the Washington Bar Associ-
alton in the Dunbar Hotel, Fiji
tenth and q street NV. Dis
tinguished guests included many
Negro leaders and judges of the
courts in the District.
Cites School Cases.
In explaining the Negroes pro-
gress in obtaining civil rights, Mr..
Houston pointed out that violence
failed to materialize in the cases
of Negro students being admitted
for the first time to institutions
of higher learning in Oklahoma.
West Virginia and Arkansas. He
attributed this to "the application
OF reason and the better nature
Of the people,"
Mr.. Houston declared that the
night of the Negro lawyer for
justice and civil rights in his
cases has inspired other minori-
ties to make their own fight in
the same way. He urged the at
torney to continue fighting for
all the people" II
The lawyer received a plaque

alton, presented on behalf of the

terpret the old, to use the new
to make continuing adjustments
between freedom and justice, be-
tween individual rights and
social demands" and added
"We dare not ignore the just
aspirations of all people. We
must strive to realize them with
in the framework of a christian
society"
The first step, the message
held, SIS to recognize the vast
changes that have already oc-
cured in our American life. We
have shifted to a large extent
from individualism to organiza-
ton, from comparative self suf-
ficiency to far-reaching interde-
.pendence.
1t noted that this change is re-
flected in great corporations and
financial groups representing
vast concentrations of economic
power, on the part of business
management, and the growth OF
industrial unions to balance
these powerful concentrations on
the part of labor.
The Church, the message said,
must never forsake its basic in
terest in individuals, but added
that 1.-The times demand that il
give increasing attention to
group action, group morality
and group responsibility, in
economic life.
Men and women as objects Of
Gods redeeming love are not
means to be used by the power
full for selfish ends" it added.
They are neither slaves to be
driven nor statistics to be mani
pulated. Each as a child of God
is an end unto himself within
Gods purpose" ]"
In America the churches are
rightly concerned, the message
pointed out, with "the motiva-
ton and the social consequences
of the increased concentration of
corporate power; they face also
the great question of the end to
which organized labor Will use
its expanding power"
"Will labor give Christian
principles, including social re-
sponsibility, a first place in its
program? Will the men who
guide its affairs exercise Chris
tian humility and justice in their
use of power? Will they put the
public interest above the special
interests of pressure groups they
lead?
1.-The answers to these ques-
tions depend upon the religious

ton, declared that organized
labor will throw everything it
can into the fight to defeat Taft.
"Cost what it may, let it be
what it will, we are going to
bring about the defeat of that
reprehensible Sen. Taft" Green
asserted. He predicted Taft
would be decisively beaten.
With equal vigor, labor will
oppose all other reactionaries

added. A drive is now on
throughout the nation forS2

Andy May 46
Others Draw
Pensions

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Ex-
Congressman Andrew May OF
Kentucky is out on bail while
he waits for his appeal from a
conviction for accepting Oribes
to fix up government contracts
to come up in court.
viewer, he's drawing
enough money from the govern
ment to be sure of getting three
square meals day whatever
happens. Andy May is one of the
ex-members of Congress who
is on the pension list under the
system set up three years ago,
and his monthly take is $278.
May is the only Congressional
pensioner who has been identi-
fled, but it is known that there
are AT ex-Senators and ex-Con-
gressmen in all who are collect
ing. Their annual incomes from
the pension plan range from
1882 to S7040. Meanwhile, the
social security extension bill
which the House Ways & Means
Committee has approved gathers
dust as the Senate stalls.
To get a Congressional pen
sion the first thing you do is get
elected. The next problem is to
make sure you stay in Congress
for six years. This is easy for
Senators, but Representatives
don't always make it.
After you've been up for SIX
years your worries are over,
provided you are 81 or older.
You can retire or you can be de-
feated, but you still eat In fact,
even if you don't last six years
in office, all is not lost for you
receive lump payment.
Of course, you have to pay
sixpercent or $3.50 of the S12, 500
you draw in salary into the fund
if you want pension. The pen
sion itself amounts to 2l2 per-
cent of your basic salary null
tiplied by the number of years
you serve.
The ceiling is rs percent of
your last salary or $9375 at the
present scale, but you must
serve 80 yers to get it. Simple
arithmetic says that the least
you can draw is $1875 a year.
No wonder observers are puz-
zled by the fact that one ex-law-
maker takes a mere 1892.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-09-02

Council-CIO has likewise gone
on record for an all-out cam
paign to whip Taft. A joint pol
itical action group of AFL, and
CIO unions, Railroad Brother
hoods and other independent
unions is being formed to con-
duct the anti-Taft campaign.
While no candidate against
Taft has been endorsed, a strong
movement is underway to draft
Murray Lincoln, militant pres
ident of the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation, to make the race
against Taft on the Democratic
ticket.
Lincoln is registered Repub-
lican, but is known as a lead
ing liberal in the state. He is
backed by the Americans for
Democratic Action, and in Wash
ington there were well-substan-
tiated reports that President
Truman had promised ADA
leaders he would give Murray
Lincoln his personal support if
he ran against Taft.
Meanwhile, Taft forces have
already started spending bar
rel of money to whip up sent
iment for their idol. Labor lead
ers have received reports that
as much as a million dollars will
be raised for Taft's campaign.
Taft himself has already
launched his own campaign for
reelection. He flies back to
Ohio at the drop of hat to give
speeches and beginning Sept,4
he's starting a 13-week speaking
tour slated to take him through
nearly all the counties of Ohio.

hood under the LordShlp of
Christ and the love of God
for all men,"
The message declared that
"the mission of the churches
cannot be separated from the
restless masses of humanity who
seek justice and freedom.
"We cannot escape from our
increasing interdependence ;rath-
er we must accept its response
bilities and meet its challenges.
This means that Christians must
be motivated by a purpose TO
help, never to dominate.
Christians must seek a more
intimate and sympathetic under
standing of the conditions and
just aspirations of all working
groups in their own commun-
tiles; and then apply that under
standing, rather than Informed
prejudices, in their judgement
and action as citizens on issues
that involve labor's rights and
responsibilities" s."
The message, issued by the
Federal Councils Department of
the Church and Economic Life
with the approval of the Execu-
tive Committee, is to be read in
the churches on Labor Sunday,
September 4 or the following
Sunday. The Department is
headed by President Arthur s.
Flemming of Ohio Wesleyan
University and its membership
includes Christian leaders from
industry, labor, agriculture, and
other divisions of the economic
world.
In urging churches to unite
wholeheartedly in observing La
Dor Sunday, the Federal Coun-
Gil declared that Labor Day calls
attention to the rights, respon-
sibilities and aspirations of
American workers in factory,
store. field and office. With their
families, it added, they compose
most of the American nation and
most of the Christian churches.
Workers seek self expression,
both in their work and as citi-
Zens," the message declared.
This means wide participation
for all in economic and political
decisions. In America social
changes over the years have re-
suited in gradual but significant
progress, partly registered in So
cial legislation"
Noting that the world is
now in a ferment" the message
pointed out that ''the strength of
democracy is its ability to rein
