Two Gold Star Groups,
Feuding in Court, Hold
Services at Arlington

Two organizations Of Gold Star
Mothers, involved in a court suit
because of the similarity Of their
names. held separate ceremonies
yesterday at Arlington National
Cemetery in observance Of Gold
Star Mothers Day.
The American Gold Star Moth
ers, Inc. filed suit Saturday in
District Court to enjoin the Ma
tional Gold Star Mothers, Inc,
from using it's name, contending
that the name similarity has re-
suited in confusion.
Hold l PM. Observance.
The American" group, an old
line patriotic organization char
tered here in 1929, held its OBJ
servance at / pm. in the Amphi-
theater and at the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. Numerous
other groups participated in the
ceremony, as mothers who had
lost sons during wartime prayed
for future peace and freedom.
The National" group, char
tered in New Jersey last March.
held similar observance at 1915
am. at the Unknown Soldiers
Tomb. After the ceremony, the
group removed many of its
wreaths and floral arrangements
and placed them at the graves of
military leaders and sons of
several of the members.
Presidents Conduct Rites.
The American" observance was
led by Mrs. Eleanor D. Boyd of
Long Beach, Calf, national
president of the American"
group. Mrs. Evangeline M.
Trenchard of Ardsley, Pa, led the
National observance as that or
ganization's president.
A spokesman for the National"
group said that Mrs. Trenchard
collapsed Saturday night after
hearing of the court suit, but that
she was able to participate In
yesterdays program. She was &C
companied to her home by q
friend, it was said.
The two groups have similar
purposes-to assist mothers who
have lost sons or daughters in
wars and to develop civic and
service programs at military and
veterans hospitals.

Underwriters Shape
|PIan 10 Get U. 5. Out
|0f Insurance Bushes!

A program to seek to get the
Federal Government out of the
life insurance business in peace
time was shaping up today as
5000 members Of the National AS
ISOLATION Of Life Underwriters
gathered at the Hotel Statler.
The group representing agents
of more than 200 companies over
the nation. is starting its 61st an
nua1 convention. which will run
through Friday. The association
prepared to throw Its weight be-
hind legislation in Congress to
simplify CT time insurance.
Lou Grayson of Washington.
chairman of the association S
Committee on Veterans Affairs,
said his organization is interested
in saving the taxpayers 81 billion
by automatically giving every
service man in wartime $4,000
in life insurance free. The CT
would be given q reasonable time
after q war to secure commercial
life insurance.
Legislation Pending.
There is no reason for the
Government to be in the life in
surance business in peacetime."
Mr.. Grayson declared.
The chairman pointed out that
a large majority Of World War II
men did not own National Service
Life Insurance. This resulted in
their families receiving no pro-
lection, even though the Govern
ment paid the cost Of the war
claims. he explained.
Legislation to simply CT insur-
ance is pending before the cur
rent Congress. These bills were
sponsored by Representative Ran
kin, Democrat, of Mississippi;
Representative Hardy. Democrat,
Of Virginia and Senator Ferguson,
Republican, Of Michigan.
Train Disaster Cited.
Mr.. Grayson observed that If
these bills had been in effect at
the time of the recent National
Guard train disaster in Indiana,
the 80 men killed would have been
fully protected, instead of their
beneficiaries receiving no benefits
under this program designed to
aid them.
Mr.. Grayson pointed to the
tremendous cost" to the tax
payers for dividends on CT insur-
ance. He said that the Govern
ment has been using old mortality
tables. which do not reflect true
life expectancy with advanced
medical and health standards.
Under the plan the association
is interested in, the beneficiary
of a CT would automatically get
$4,000 if he died in the service,
thus saving q huge amount of
cost and labor in getting claims
through the Veterans Administra-
ton.

New Rent Control Bill
To Be Pushed When
Congress Returns
BY the Asseeicfed Press

Federal rent control legislation
today was given top priority with
the House Banking Committee
when Congress reconvenes No
vember 81.
Chairman Spence announced
the committee probably will start
hearings Immediately after the
fall Congressional vacation. He
said he expects to have rent
control dill ready for action by
Congress this year.
The current Federal rent con-
troll program ends December 81
except in communities which spe-
officially request its continuance
for an additional six months.
Housing Expediter Tighe E.
Woods announced over the week
end that 104 communities with
an aggregate population of about
Z million and with 1850, 900 rental
homes have taken such action.
Problems May Exceed Time.
He said that since the present
law took effect July /, another 81
communities with Ia million pop
ulation and 100000 rental units
have thrown of Federal controls.
The new session may find the
legislative problems confronting
it too great for final action be-
tween November 81 and the
Christmas holidays. Among these
problems are:
/. An excess profits tax.
2. Statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii.
3. A master plan for civilian
defense.
Mr.. Spence said 1t is apparent
that controls will have to be con-
tinued because of the war emer-
gency. Whether a majority of
the House and Senate would agree
with him and pass a new law in
the short session was open to
question.
Building Controls Feared.
Some House members tried to
have a rent control provision in
cluded in the economic controls
act which gave President Truman
power to put ceilings on wages
and prices. to impose rationing
and take other steps to curb in
fiation.
They argued at the time that
controls on building materials will
slow down home construction and
make the housing problem more
acute.
Rent control advocates also
claim that unless ceilings are con-
tinued, and possibly frightened,
the families of men in military
service may face serious hardships
because of inability to pay higher
rents out of a serviceman's pay.
The problems of the new ses-
sion will be mainly matters left
over when Congress quit work
Saturday.
The House Ways and Means
Committee decided to start public
hearings November Is on a second
tax increase which Congress has
pledged will include an excess
profits tax on corporations. Esti-
mates are that 1t will produce
from 81 billion to Sc billion year.
The committee said it would
try to limit the hearings to five
days and have a bill ready for
prompt action when Congress
reconvenes.

Really Suit Against Effici-

QUOTES RULING

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company recently charged that the
antitrust suit against the COM
pany 'is really suit against eff
cheney and against real competi-
ton"
In ads appearing in newspapers
throughout the country, the COM
pany said the antitrust lawyers
"have been wrong before" and an
nounced its intention of telling of
cases in which their contentious
have been refuted in the past.
The ad told of a Washington
case in which A & P and two COM
petitors were charged with con-
spring to maintain high bread
prices although they were selling
bread cheaper than most of the
other Washington stores"
The ad quoted the ruling of Fed
eral District Judge Allen t. Colds
borough, who instructed the jury
to bring in verdict of mot gull
ty," saying to the antitrust law
yers:
"If you were to show this record
to any experienced trial lawyer in
the world, he would tell you that
there was not any evidence at all.
Honestly, I have never in my
40 years experience seen tried a
case that was as absolutely devoid
of evidence as this. That is the
honest truth. have never seen one
like it."

A Visit to Daniel Payne
Colleges Youthful President

BENNINGTON (ANP)- When
Bishop S. L. Greene, chancellor
of Daniel Payne college here and
head of the ninth district of the
AME church, appointed J. King
Chandler III, 26, president of the
college, he was praised for CIV
ing an opportunity to youth.
Last week this reporter visited
the college u by probably the
youngest president in the nation,
and talked to the man who makes
this church school click.
The college divides it's teaching
into three phases, the personality,
the moral, and the practical. The
practical, Of course, includes the
usual studies for persons pre-
pairing for a future.
The personality and moral phases
are based much on President
Chambers Philosophy of educa-
ton. Of course, being run by a re-
ligious body, this college has to
do a good job on morals.
Payne's president, however,
does not limit the moral phase,
however, to religious teachings.
He said:
with respect to the principal
phases of knowledge, Payne col
lege will never shun any of the

areas of the humanities such as
theology and philosophy"
He had more to say on what
appears to be his favorite aim,
the development of the person
atty of his students. He comment
ed:
"The greatest goal of education
at Payne should be the develop
ment of personality. The human
individual endures lifetime strug-
gle to develop and adjust per-
sonality.
Through guidance we will be
able to help the students develop
more satisfactorily personalities
to cope efficiently with u pre-
sent day world situation.
"Our curricula includes all ex-
periences to which students are
exposed and which may contribute
to their cultural development. Mu-
sic, art, athletics, educational ex-
cursions, exhibition, community
and family life, and recreationaly
activities all are integral parts of
the curriculum here.
"Our program here is designed
to help the student in his total
environment so that he may live
in it after graduation"
President Chandler is looking
forward to the day when Payne
college will become "the AME
