Only Proof i'm Fay's Office.
He added that as far as he knew
the only proof Of law violation
was that held by the United
States Attorneys Office.
Mr.. Jones pointed out that the
company was in a difficult position
because it could be subject to suit
by removing q telephone without
adequate proof of illegal use. On
the other hand, he added. there
were cases where telephone COM
panies have been indicted for al
legged participation by supplying
communication facilities to gam
blers.
Judge Holtzoff said that while a
phone comuany or other utility
may refuse its service If used for
criminal purposes. the burden OF
proof would be on the utility.
"It seems that before such serv-
ice is discontinued for illegal use
the fact of such illegal use must
appear by a preponderance Of evil
dence," the judge continued.
Sees Judiciary Powers"
The court said that Judiciary
powers" would be conferred on
law enforcement agencies If they
were permitted merely on the
strength of an improved complaint
to deprive persons Of public utility
services.
Judge Holtzof added that even
persons of known criminal activ-
tiles cannot be deprived of the
services of public utilities or other
rights under the Constitution un-
less they can be shown to have
used these services in the further
ance of crime.
Until the case can be deter
mined Mrs. Andrews continues to
receive her regular telephone
service. MIR. Ford said.
Judge David A. Pine recently
granted an Injunction against the
telephone company on the petit
tion Of q subscriber in Avondale

held that no evidence had beer

Savings Bond Drive Off
To Smashing Start;
'NWagon Christened

MISS Drucle snyder, daughter
Of Secretary Of the Treasury sny-
der, gave the Treasury's forth
coming Opportunity Drive"
savings bond campaign O sendon
today by smashing a bottle against
the wheel Of q 140-year-old
covered wa on.
In the Bottle was water from
Suffers mill race In California.
where gold was discovered q CEN
tury ago. The wagon. on loan for
the ceremony from Franklin and
Marshall College, represented a
fleet of 80 similar vehicles that
will tour the country starting next
week as a feature Of the bond
drive.
Miss Snyder performed the
christening on the F1fteenth
street side of the Treasury Build
ing before q battery Of newsreel
and newspaper cameras. The an
cient wagon, which once had a
regular 21-day run between Pitts
burg, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
was mounted on a red-white-and-
blue painted trailer truck and
bore the slogan, BE a Modern
'49er-Buy u. s. Savings Bonds"
Once Had 20-Mule Team.
This wagon and the others that
will visit many cities during the
drive once were drawn by 20-mule
teams, but this time they will be
transported on similar trailers,
donated by the Fruehauf Trailer
Co. and International Harvester
Co. The wagons are to be carried
by Navy and Air Force planes to
Kansas City next week end for
the start Of their travels in nearby
Independence Monday.
The covered wagon was chosen
as the emblem of the drive, Sec
retary Snyder explained, because
1t means just one thing to all
Americans-that search of oppor-
tunity and a better life which set
in motion the Gold Rush back in
1849." Freedom and opportunity
are the campaigns objectives, he
said.
Another pre-campaign event will
be held here Friday, when 1000
newspaper carrier boys will con-
verge here for a rally at GAS am.
at the Sylvan Theater on the
Monument grounds.
To Make Bond Talks.
Carriers here and elsewhere will
distribute bond literature and de-
liver brief bond sales talks" to
100000 homes in the Nation as
they make their regular route
collections during the campaign.
Seeking a goal Of $1.040, 900 900,
the drive is scheduled to close
July /.
The Districts quota in E-Bonds
is $4,000, 900.
President Truman, in an address
here April 10. urged the Nation
ito welcome these carrier boys to
your homes and to give them the
encouragement they deserve as our
youngest statesmen. This campaign
is an opportunity for them. just as
it is an opportunity for all of us
to help ourselves and our country
at the same time"
At least four top Hollywood stars
have been promised for the rally,
according to Carter r. Barron,
regional director for Loew's, Inc,
and chairman Of the entertain
ment committee and George
Crouch, regional director for War
ner Brothers, Inc.
