ton in the number of cases heard
on Monday mornings in Judge l..
E. Thomas Municipal Court, hit
new low on Monday morning,
December IL, when mere total
of Sc cases were listed on the Of
fetal docket for trial that day. AS
was expected, the judge waded
through the docket in somewhat
of record time, and court was
declared dismissed before IL
o'clock that morning.
But the smaller number of cases
on docket had no effect upon the
large number of spectators and
others who were present in the
courtroom long before the session
was called to order.
Among visitors to the court Was
Miami's newly appointed deputy
constable for District 2, Stanley
Sweeting, who was invited by
Judge Thomas to occupy one of
the seats at the Judges bench, and
who was apparently keenly inter-
ested in all of the proceedings.
Highlight of the days trials was
the case of Ernest Calvin Mack
who was charged with assault
and battery on his daughter, Lii
liam Mack. It was a case of daugh-
ter against father. Testimony re-
vealed that the father had sep
arated from his wife, some 18
years ago and had done little or
nothing to help his wife rear their
daughter. The mother died more
than three years ago, and the
home in which they lived was left
to the care of the daughter. The
father claimed that he purchased
the home several years ago and
although he admitted leaving his
wife with the daughter he still
insisted that the home was his,
and he had a right to return there
any time he wished.
The daughter denied her father
had helped with the taxes and
other expenses of the home,
claiming that her mother paid for
the home before she died and that
she (the daughter) had paid all
of the taxes and other expenses
since her mothers death, and that
her father was no where around.
She claimed further that her
father returned to the home one
day last week, forced his way in,
and occupied a room without con-
sulting her or getting her per-
mission. She added that her faith
er created disturbances with some
of the roomers who lived at her
home, and finally caused an ar
gument between the two of them,
at which time she charged that he
slapped her in an angry mood.
After advising the daughter to
seek legal advice in determining in
whose name the title to the home
is listed, and who holds the same,
Judge Thomas fined the father
$40 and cost or 20 days in Jail.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
George Alexander, Samuel
Cummings, Mack Thomas Will
liams, Solomon Hooks, John Ken
nedy, Lucille Crosby, Jimmie Sut-
ton, Willie Green, Clifton Gra-
ham, Freddie Dawkins and John
ME McClendon were each charged
with being drunk.
Cummings, Kennedy and SUIT
ton were dismissed. The others
received fines and sentences
ranging from SIS and cost or 6 days
to $40 and cost or 4 days.
Sylvester Baker, Ella Harper,
Joe Green and Willie Dozier, were
each charged with assault and bat
terry. Baker was charged with as
Sault and battery on his wife,
Willie Mae, Harper on Jackson
Albert, Green on John D. john

News of Music
Works of Bach, Beethoven and
Brahms Conclude 1850 Series

The moot question of the proper
tempo for the opening of the
Brahms Symphony was solved by
the moderate pace Mr.. Mitchell
adopted. In the development, and
throughout the other movements,
the pattern of Brahms writing
was emphasized with fine skill
and the proportions maintained.
In this manner, the second move
ment fitted in more logically than
some conductors visualize it with
Iout sacrifice of it's innate lyricism
and warm beauty. But, once more,
the want of an underlying sturdi-
ness and expansiveness in the
reading was felt in spite of the
satisfying treatment of details
The orchestra musicians played
with personal feeling that pro-
jected the music fully and the
audience listened absorbedly, re-
spending with generous applause.

By Alice Eyersmon

The 1850 Wednesday night series
of the National Orchestra con-
cluded last night with a program
devoted to Bach, Beethoven and
Brahms. The concert period dedi-
Gated to three of the greatest
masters of musical creation filled
Constitution Hall with an atmos-
phere of serenity and happiness
quite in keeping with the Christ
mas season. For the works pro-
grammed were Bach's Suite No. 3
in D Major" Beethoven's Sym
phony No. 4 in B fiat Major" and
Brahms Symphony No. 2 in D
Major"
In this music of perfect work
manship, the composers show the
sunny side of their natures, each
in his own way. These works
might be considered oases in lives
that knew much of the driving
power of sorrow, disappointment
and passion. Less inner disturb
ance fell to the lot of Bach but
his two successors in the creative
dynasty were shaken time and
again by inward emotion and
mental anguish This travail of
the spirit brought forth master
pieces that have stirred audiences
since they were first heard, yet
the balm of peace and lightness
reflected in the works played
last night has equally potent
effect.
Howard Mitchell had drilled his
musicians well in the mood as
well as the mechanical matters of
the music. Bach's Suite" had.
perhaps, the clearest definition.
especially in the "Ouverture"
where the balance of grave and
gay was well established. The
lovely xnd familiar "Air" formed
a tender interlude between the
more substantial overture and the
bright charm of the dances that
constitute the last three move
ments. The Suite" gives oppor-
tunity to the trumpets to
marked degree and these members
of the orchestra shared in the
acclaim offered Conductor Nit
chell at the end.
The qualities of tranquility,
tenderness and gayety found in
both the Beethoven and Brahms
symphonies are so touched with
the individuality of the composer
that each must be approached diff
ferently. In this Mr.. Mitchell
succeeded splendidly and marked
the distinction still more by the
character of his detail treatment.
The sweep of the musical brush
might have been larger, with con-
sequent enrichment of the orches-
trail sorority and the vision more
clearly present of the Titan in
each composer.
AS it was, the exuberant spirit
of Beethoven's first movement
was captured fully and the per-
formance OF the string section was
clean and light. Again in the
beginning of the finale, the as
surance of the strings established
the mood but there were other
portions in the preceding move
ments where the woodwinds dis
tinguished themselves. Further
evidence of careful thought could
be found in the rhythmic exact
ness kept sharply accented by the
tympani.

port of segregation is gross
misinterpretation of scripture

Texas Oi|workers' Strike
Beginning 18th Week

DENVER (LPA) - The bitter
strike of the CIO Oil Workers
against the billion-dollar Texas
Co. has entered its second 100
days, with $500 union members
out. The strikers have shut the
company's plants, and kept them
shut. But the union is having to
fight not only Texaco, but the
entire oil industry.
Although a arge part OF
Texaco refining capacity is out
of operation, Texaco service sta
ton pumps are still pouring gas
into auto tanks - gas supplied
to Texaco by other firms.
To meet the customers re-
quests for lu br i C a t in 6 oil,
T * a C o is shipping its trade
marked cans direct from the can
factories to refineries of other
companies, where they are filled
and routed into Texaco's mar
keting system.
Despite h e o b It C ! e S,
Texaco strikers know they can
force the company to come to
terms if they hold out long
enough. for refinery equipment
deteriorates seri iously after
months OK idleness. This is one
situation the other companies
cannot do anything about.
Chief issue is security. The
union wants job descriptions
written into the contracts to pre-
vent speedup; provisions to re-
strict supervisory workers from
doing work of the union men;
provision against handling GER
tain plant maintenance jobs by
outside contractors, a gimmick
the oil companies often use to
tear down unions; mire rigid
safety rules. And the union is
still trying to get Texaco TO bar
gain on pensions. The company
has refused, and the Union has
filed refusal to bargain charges
with NLRB, but Robert penham,
NLRB general counsel is a
bosom friend of Texaco's chief
labor officer. Denham is in no
hurry.

Uncertain X
Wins Election
For Union

ASHLAND, KY. (LPA) - The
AFL Bakers union has won an
NLRB election at the Feuchten-
berger Baking Co. here by a
shade.
The original tally in an cleo
ton May 18, 1850, showed 8 for
the union, 9 against. The union
challenged one vote and the
NLRB regional director ruled
that vote void, so the union won
representation. The company ap-
pealed, and the case went to the
full board, which ruled for the
union.
AT the bottom of the ballot
was a rectangular box divided
into two equal parts by a verti-
cal line. T ere was a small
S quare box in each segment.
Over the left-hand square was
the word YES, and over the
right-hand square NO. In the
challenged b llo t, the x was
across the vertical line. But the
intersection of the X was slight
ly to the right of the vertical
line, so the employer said II
was a NO vote. The board
thought otherwise.

No Food Shortage
In Prospect Truman
Reports To Nation

production now and new mill
tary buying will compete with
civilian orders for steel. Rep.
Emanuel Celler ID, N.Y., whose
House Monopoly Investigating
committee has done a searching
probe of the steel industry, on
July 13 warne d that "in my
view private ALLEGATION systems
are violative of the antitrust
laws when they are arrived at by
agreement between producers" "
II system of steel ALLEGATIONS
is found necessary, he proposed
that "they will have to be under
authorized governmental permis-
sion which may require legisla-
ton, and any such ALLEGATION pro-
gram must be safeguarded so as
to avoid long-run monopolistic
effects upon the economy"
Commerce Secretary Sawyer
and Treasury Secretary Snyder
are understood to support vol
untary" controls policed by the
steel industry itself. But, warns
Celler, "even when adopted as
m porary expedients, such
S h m have a tendency to
fasten themselves upon the econ
omy after the emergency has
passed. They operate as private
barriers prohibiting the forma-
tion of new enterprises. In the
long run they substitute an econ
omy of scarcity--with private
restraints OF trade-instead of a
free and competitive economy
with full production"
President Truman said he ap-
proved of Treasury Secretary
Snyder's action in asking the
Senate tax-writing committee to
stop work on a 1880 tax bill
which might cut federal income
slightly.

NLRB Sets Aside
6 Elections In
Metropolitan
u, A SILL TOM nPAl

ASHIN TON (LPA) -
When a company announces 1t
will not bargain with a union
if that union wins an NLRB
election, its stand will obviously
affect the outcome of the cleo
ton.
That's why the NLRB ruled
July 13 that Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. tried to deny its
employees a free choice of bar
gaining representative, and set
aside six elections in Illinois,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, Connec-
ticut and Massachusetts,.
Leroy A. Lincoln, company
president, had written to the in
surance agents that he believed
the NLRB was wrong in permit
ting the United Office & Pro-
fessional Workers to participate
in the ele t o n, questioning
lUOPWA's compliance with the
non Communist oath provision
of the Taft-H r ley Act. Il
IUOPWA won the election, Lin
coin told tn e m, the company
would contest in the courts its
failure to comply with the law
The Board ruled the compliance
question was up to NLRB, moi
the employer.
The company's statement tha'
it would not bargain with the
union was Calculated to impress
on the employees the futility o
voting for the union," the boaro
ruled. The insurance agent
were faced with the prospect o.
no collective bargaining rela
tions with the employer while
the case dragged through courts
for years.
Board Members Abe Murdock
John Houston and Paul Style:
signed the majority fin d n {
Chairman Paul Herzog dissent
ed. He said the company was
merely trying to test whether
UOPWA had complied with the
law.

WASHINGTON (LPA) - There
Is no prospect of any food short
age In this country at any time,
President Truman asked the re-
porters at his July 13 press con-
ference to tell the nation.
He seconded Agriculture Sec
retary Brannan's C h r ge than
any in crease in food prices
would result from profiteering,
not from any scarcities. To start
boarding is foolish, he said.
Under consideration by the
top government officials, the
President said, were all home
front aspects Of the war. These,
questions brought out, included
possible controls over materials
and production, manpower con-
trolls, rationing, industrial mo-
bilization, and tax increase pro-
posals.
At the proper time, If these
steps appear necessary, the Presi-
dent said, he would make his
proposals and orders public. The
fighting in Korea is still a police
action, ii will be continued un-
I'll the North Korean forces are
pushed back 10 the 38th parallel,
and he is hopeful about prospects
for success, he said.
On Capitol Hill, Sen Burnet
Maybank Cd, SCI told LPA his
Banking and Currency Commit
tee does not expect any price or
production control legislation
from the White House unless the
X ore situation worsens or
armed conflict breaks out else
where.
A controversy is growing over
whether industries like steel
should be rapidly put under COM
pulsory production controls
since they're operating at peak
