Judge Rules Hufty
Must Move Out at
Schools Bidding

District Court Judge Jennings
Bailey today ruled that French S
Hufty. 67, blind former manager
of the Columbia Polytechnic In
stitute for the Blind here. must
leave the school at its bidding.
In announcing his decision at
the trial which started last week,
Judge Bailey said this was a type
of case lin which the court is re-
luctant to act at all"
He found. however. that Mr.
Hufty had actually rendered his
resignation some time ago, it had
been accepted by the school, and
that the trustees of the school
had the right to ask him to leave
The institute filed suit against Mr.
Hufy, who had been an official
there since 1911. when he refused
to move out and relinquish his
duties to a successor.
Hopes for "Some Arrangement"
The court said the defendant
had "by his presence. expressed
views and occupancy of the build
ing has interfered' with the op-
Grafton of the school.
although Mr.. Hufty has rem
dered an invaluable service for a
long time, there is no question
over whether the trustees are act
ing wisely" the judge declared.
At the same time. Judge Bailey
expressed hope that some ar
can be made for the
welfare of Mr.. Hufty. Daniel
Partridge, one of the trustees of
the institute, promptly rose to his
feet and declared that the trustees
also would like to aid Mr.. Hufty.
To Meet with Lawyers
Il revere your opinion as a wise
judge and would like to ask your
guidance on what we can do for
Mr.. Hufty," Mr.. Partridge said.
Defense Counsel Jack N. Stein
berg and Julius Aronoff echoed
the trustees request for guidance.
Judge Bailey thought a moment,
then announced that he would
meet with Mr.. Hufty's lawyers
as well as the Institutes attorney
Fred Ballard. in his chambers
at $50 am. tomorrow to discuss
possible arrangements for Mr..
Hufty's future. He noted that the
fruits of the discussion would not
be binding, and emphasized that
he wanted neither Mr.. Hufty nor
any of the trustees to be present
at the meeting.
Mr.. Hufty has been living in
one room quarters at the institute,
at 1908 H street NV, up to the
present time.

Colonial Loses Fight
To Bar Competition
By Canadian Airline

A three-judge special tribuna.
in District Court today ruled, FL
against Colonial Airlines in its
fight to stop parallel service by
Canadian planes on its Montreal
New York flight.
Colonial Airlines attacked the
constitutionality of the Civil Aero
nautics Act and a new aviation
agreement with Canad to expand
flying rights between the two
countries.
Judge James w. Morris of Dis
trict Court and Justice James w
Proctor of the United States
Court of Appeals upheld the con-
stitutionality of the act. Judge
T. Alana Goldsborough of District
Court dissented.
A three-judge special court
such as thi some, is often set up
to speed a matter involving
question of constitutional rights
Effort to Bar Agreement.
This is the background on the
case:
The Canadian-American agree
ment. signed last June 4, wiped
out the policy of non-competitive
routes across the United States
Canadian border.
It granted Canada rights to fly
Montreal York nonstop. II
granted the United States the
right to fly New York-Torontc
mons stop, heretofore the exclusive
privilege of Canada.
The agreement also covered the
use Of Canadian air fields by
United States planes crossing the
Atlantic and extended in other
ways reciprocal rights on trans
border routes.
Colonial went to court in ar
effort to stop the agreement from
becoming effective.
Got Temporary Injunctions.
1t secured a temporary injunc-
ton to prevent the Civil Aero
nautics Board from making a rec
ommendation to President Tru-
man, who has the exclusive
power to grant international all
routes. The Supreme Court has
held that once the President has
acted in this type of case. there
can be no appeal. So Colonial
acted to stop the proceedings be-
fore it reached that point.
The majority opinion written by
Judge Morris declared it seems
necessarily implicit in Su-
preme Court decision on a SINH
lar case that Congress had the
right to delegate permit issuance
powers to the CAB as an executive
agency. THE challenged sections
of the act are not repugnant te
the Constitution as claimed,
Judge Morris declared.
Judge Morris said it was clear
that before the board can make
recommendations to the PreSi-
dent it is required by the act tt
make certain findings of fact. Un-
til the board has acted. the judge
added. the President cannot ap-
prove or disapprove issuance o1
the permit.

 Bartlett said he wouldn't be surprised to hear some opponents to statehood argue Alaska should not come into the union until the world had arranged a pact to out law war and a thousand years set aside to see if it would work"
 He said those opponents have a financial stake in the Territory but are not willing for it to have statehood.

Soviet Ship Incident

Soviet Ambassador Alexander
S. Panyushkin protested to the
State Department today against
what he termed illegal acts" by
immigration authorities in con-
nection with a Russian ship at
Elizabeth. N. j.. yesterday.
The Ambassador called on Un-
dersecretary of State Webb. He
told reporters later he had en-
tered a protest, asked that neces-
sary steps be taken to give nor
NAL conditions for the work OF
Soviet ships coming to United
States ports" and demanded pun
ishment for those responsible for
the incident at Elizabeth.
He refused to discuss details OF
the incident. State Department
officials said he complained that
immigration authorities would not
let the crew of the Soviet ship,
the Dimitri Donskoi, 60 ashore or
permit the captain ashore except
under guard. He also protested
that the captain and crew were
questioned on political" matters.
The Ambassador protest was
the first the State Department
had heard OF the incident, Off
ctals said. They said the 1mmi-
grafton Service was being asked
for a report.

For luxury Apartments
By the Associated Press

Housing Expediter Tighe E
Woods issued a regulation yester-
day to govern the decontrol OF
rents on luxury" apartments
where the landlord proposes to
chop them up into units that will
house more families.
The luxury" quarters wele de-
fined in general as one-family un-
furnished apartments renting for
more than $3.50 a month. How
ever, an area rent director could
establish a lower determining fig
ure if he considered it representa-
tive of luxury accommodations in
his area.
Mr.. Woods acted under the
Housing and Rent Act of 1949,
which provides for the decontrol
of luxury housing when. in the
judgment of the housing eApediter,
it will result in the creation of
additional self-contained family
rental units.

Special Senate Action
Confirms FLANAGAN

The nomination of James H.
Flanagan for a third three-year
term as a member of the District
Public Utilities Commission was
confirmed last night by the Senate
under unanimous consent.
The action. taken out of regular
order. was requested by Chairman
McGrath of the Senate District
Committee. He explained that
Mr.. Flanagan, PUG chairman, had
been serving without pay since
June 30. Members of the PUG
serve only for stated three-year
terms and do not carry over"
until they are confirmed for new
term or until successors are quail
fled.
Minority Leader Wherry at first
questioned why the action should
be considered at the end of yes
terdays long session. without
waiting for the District Committee
confirmation report to lie over for
one day, but later he acceeded to
the request of Senator McGrath.
The denomination of Mr.. Flana-
gan by President Truman had
been approved earlier yesterday
without dissenting voice by the
District Committee.

But they refuse to make any
predictions on what Mr.. Truman
will say about taxes.
The Presidents Council OF Eco

told Mr.. Truman weeks ago that
it favors a lesser goal" for tax
increases. Some advisers fear
that a determined drive for higher
taxes would frighten business into
further retrenchment.
On the other hand, to drop the
request for higher taxes entirely

Renewed Efforts Due

peace talks set.
One negotiating session is to be
held between bakery management

men who have been idle since June

the A. B. & w. Transit Co. dispute
before Federal Conciliator Gilbert

Boggs, Virginia commissioner of
labor and industry.
Representatives of the employees,

charge by asserting that the asso-

and holding few, if any, negotia-
tlons with the two striking unions.
To this, the association replied:

Mrs. D'Aquino Signed
Yen as Tokyo Rose,'
Witness Testifies
by the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July THE
Governments first witness at the
treason trial of Mrs. Iva Toguri
ID'Aquino says the 33-year-old
native of Los Angeles once auto
graphed a Japanese yen note as
Tokyo Rose"
j. Richard Eisenhart of
Rochester, N. Y, a prison guard at
Yokohama in 1945 when Mrs.
D'Aquino first was arrested, said
he and another guard went to her
cell with their request for an auto
graph.
She wrote on the bill "Iva I.
Toguri" and added. in quotation
marks. "Tokyo Rose" Mr.. Eisen-
hart testified yesterday.
Mrs. D'Aquino, wife Of an en-
ploye Of a Japanese news agency,
is charged with impairing the
United States capacity to wage
war by her "traitorous" wartime
broadcasts from radio Tokyo
aimed at hurting the morale of
troops in the Pacific.
Reminded of Sweethearts.
In his opening statement, Spe-
cial Prosecutor Tom De Wolfe
said Tokyo Rose reminded the
servicemen of their sweethearts at
home, told the soldiers the girls
were unfaithful to them. that
they are running around with
4-Fs and shipyard workers. all of
whom have plenty of money in
their pockets to give the wives of
soldiers a good time"
She told the soldiers to lay
down their arms and to stop fight
ing" said Mr.. De Wolfe. That it
was futile to 60 on, that the Jap
anese never would surrender, that
they had the will to win, and
there was no reason for American
soldiers to stay out there in a
futile battle, risking their lives"
The defense reserved its right
to make an opening statement.
But it indicated to neWsmen
that Mrs. D'Aquino would deny
that she had broadcast the state
ments mentioned by Mr.. De
Wolfe; that she would contend
she had entertained. but had
never attacked the United States,
and that what she did was done
only under coercion.
Scripts DESTROYED
Mr. De Wolfe sadi copies of the
defendants scripts and recordings
were destroyed when American
troops moved toward Japan. He
. said. however. the Government
would prove by witnesses that she
helped prepare scripts, as we'll as

} He said the Government has
only four faint records Of the

and that these were monitored
