But it is not only the majority
of five on the Supreme Court who
determine what is to be done
Minor officeholders can, if they are
clever enough, pursue a course
which alters the process of govern
ment long before it is evident even
to those responsible for the gov
eminent. SO.
And if those who are in charge
of the government fear the politi-
cal effects of exposure, they become
unwillingly perhaps, parties to the
revolution. DR.. Toulmin says that
in instances he cites in his seven
volumes, the Supreme. Court has
followed the bright, young subor-
dinates in the Department of JUS
tice.
This same trend has, of course
been evident in the State Depart
ment, where a small group OF in
expert persons altered our China
policy, which had been stable fol
a century, to make it conform to
their private views. They succeed
ed, because there was no reference
to the people.
The same phenomenon appeared
in the administration of the Ma
tional Labor Board, at first DOM
mated by Lee Pressman, Nathan
Witt, John Abt and Edwin S. Smith
all men of particular revolution
airy type of mind.
In a word, what we need to re-
view is not so much the opera
lions of business, which the Cellel
Committee is doing, but the state
OF the law and its operations. We
might ask the question: Are we
being revolutionized by admins
trative decree on the lower levels OF
administration?

the Sherman Antitrust law and
the Clayton Act were passed. How
ever, under the methods of the
New Deal, these laws have become
obscure and confusing.
DR.. Harry Aubrey Toulman, Jr.
whose book, 1.-The Antitrust Laws
OF the United States" is regarded
by many as standard work, says.
Our Antitrust laws are the
most dangerous to our Democracy
that any nation has ever enacted
in all history. For, under this
legal cloak, it would be possible
for limited group Of men, five
in number, appointed for life, to
utilize the broad provisions of these
laws to change the entire aspect
of our society, converting it from
a Democracy to Fascist state, to
Socialism, to a Welfare state, to
a Police state, or to Communism.
ut can be done legally. The
broad charter of the Antitrust
laws is so general in character, SO
sweeping in conception, and Sc
closely parallel in language to fun
damental constitutional provisions
that it gives complete liberty OF ac-
ton to the majority of the Supreme
Court. The broad charter OF busi-
Yocc apd commercial regulation
possible under these laws, and the
several dozen satellite statutes
make it possible to regiment bust
ness, industry and commerce, as
we'll as the professions, labor, in
surance, and other personal serv-
ices and savings, into any economic
pattern that minimum OF five
men may decree"

Hartman Says U. 5.
Must Lead Free World

w. Averell Hartman, presiden-
tial adviser, warned last night that
World War III can be prevented
"only if this country takes leader
ship" in rearming and unifying
the free world.
Mr.. Hartman said Premier
Stain will not start World War
III until che is good and ready to-"
and that time is the unpredictable
element in the problem the United
States faces.
Addressing a George Washing
ton University audience, Mr.. Har-
riman avoided the Korean situa-
ton sin view of present discus
sions at the White House and in
the United Nations"
Mr.. Hartman said there was
mo indication" that Stain is
ready to launch new world war.
Although asserting that the Rus
sian people wasted no love" on
the Communist Party, he said they
would fight Fundamentally for
their country. Mr.. Hartman
urged the West to employ psyche
logical warfare to exploit any
"brittleness" that could be found
among the Russians.
He expressed alarm at talk of
a preventive war and warned that
such "loose, talk" may scare Stain
into aggressive action. He also
said it has a bad effect on West
ern Europe, where the people al
ready are jittery knowing that SIX
Russian armies sit on their door,

Death Of Mrs, Smith
Held Probable Suicide

The death of Mrs. Carmelite
Smith, AZ, of Alexandria, whose
body was found November q in a
wooded section near Fredericks-
burg, Va, has been ruled a prob
able suicide by DR.. L. F. Lee, Stat
ford County coroner.
DR.. Lee said he based his verdict
on the result of an examination
by DR.. Geoffry T. Mann, Virginia s
chief medical examiner, who said
her death apparently was caused
by an overdose of sleeping pills.
Several bottles partly filed with
the pills were found beside her
body.
A decision on the cause of death
had been delayed because of the
condition of the body, and because
she was shoeless-indicating she
may have been carried to the
lonely spot where the body was
found. Inspector Russell Hawes,
chief of Alexandria detectives.
discovered the shoes Sunday hid
den in a tree stump only Is feet
from the body where police said
she apparently had hidden them
to avoid Identification.
Mrs. Smith was the wife of
Russell Smith, legislative secre-
tary for the National Farmers
Union. He reported to police a
week ago that his wife had been
missing since October q, when
he drove her south of Alexandria

Forest Hills Group Indorses
Mrs. Wriqht for D. +, Post

Mrs. Leslie B. Wright was in
dorsed by the Forest Hills Citi-
zens' Association last night to
succeed Commissioner Guy Ma
son, in the event he is not reap
pointed at the end of his term
in February.
Mrs. Wright has been active in
the Association for the past 20
years and is a past president. She
is now one of the groups dele
gates to the Federation and the
Northwest Council of Citizens
Associations.
The association was luke-warm
toward inviting civil defense
speakers.
"I heard one long speech re-
Gently" declared Charles A,
Burmeister. "in which the speaker
kept repeating that, as we go to
bed, we should ask ourselves
what we would do If an atom
bomb were dropped on us. After
one hour of talk, he still hadn't
told u.s."
The whole matter was left up
to Joseph Sanders. who will
check the topics of an invited
speaker and decide whether the
talk would be interesting.
The group resolved to support
the Celler bill dealing with
changes in the law regarding to
the District Small Claims Court.
Joseph A. Kaufman, president,
conducted the meeting in the
Murch School, Thirty-sixth and
Ellicott streets NV.

Capital Transit Fights
First-zone Fare Rise
Asked by BusIines

Opposition to any increase in
first-zone fares of the A., B. & w
Transit Co. and the w., v. g. M
Transit Co. (Arnold Line) was
voiced today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission by the
Capital Transit Co.
The two buslines asked the COM
mission last week to authorize an
increase in fares between the Dis
trict and Government installations
In nearby Virginia. They asked
that first-Zone fares be raised to
Is cents cash with three tokens
for 40 cents.
In opposing the proposed in
crease, Capital Transit expressed
fear that more riders would shift
to the 16-cent joint fare tickets
now used by District Virginia COM
muters. More use of the joint
tickets, the company contended,
would result in further losses to
Capital Transit.
Both Virginia transit companies
also now have petitions before the
ICC for an increase in the joint
rate ticket. Capital Transit has
asked that its share of the joint
ticket rate be raised to 7 cents.
In the brief filed today Capital
Transit maintains that the Vir-
ginia companies have not shown
any need for an increase in their
revenues from any of the fares
between the District and Govern
ment installations in Virginia.

Hearing Delayed
In Gaming Case
GiivenGr andJury
Police Investigated
Lieutenunt's Role in
Arrest Of Couple

A gambling case against man
and wife. which brought a police
investigation of the role played
in their arrest by a robbery squad
lieutenant, was continued until
December 19 in Municipal Court
today.
Charges of setting up a gaming
table against Louis GitelSon, 80,
and his wife Esther, 81, of the
HOO block of Buchanan street
NV, were continued after De-
fense Attorney Denny Hughes
said the case already had been
presented to the grand jury. u
He told Judge Andrew j. How
ard, jr., it would be wasting time
and effort" to go through with a
preliminary hearing. After the
grand jury return on the case, the
charge in Municipal Court prob
ably will be dropped, since the
case then would be before higher
court. or ignored.
Cooper Listed as Witness.
A police investigation of the
case was started after it was
learned Robbery Squad 1t. George
E. Cooper had been present when
a bet allegedly was telephoned to
the Gitelsons, and had gone to
the Gitelson home later the same
day. However, a warrant for the
arrest of the GitelsonS was not
sworn out until eight days later.
The vice squad, normally
charged with investigating gam
bling cases, did not know anything
about the case until given the war
rant to serve. The arrest warrant
was sworn to by James j. Martin
of the $500 block of Fourteenth
street NE, who said he telephoned
a bet to the Gitelsons and listed
1t. Cooper as a witness.
It was learned the Gitelsons
were subpoenaed before the grand
jury when the case was presented
AANSSJ' 4fAAs AA0S41Co 0a1o Gk1C
pie was excused by the grand jury
late in the afternoon, but said he
did not know how long the Gitel-
sons were actually before the
panel, or what questions they were
asked.
Unusual Procedure.
It is unusual for defendants to
be subpoenaed before grand
jury investigating the charges
involving them.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Charles Murray, who handled
cases before the grand jury that
day. was not available for COM
ment. Other Government officials
questioned referred reporters to
Mr.. Murray.
1t. Cooper's role in the gambling
arrests still is under investigation
by Inspector Robert v. Murray

The color television controversy
took on added sharpness here to-
day when the Radio Corp. of
America staged a progress" DEM
onstration of the system it claims
is more practical and farther ad-
vanced than the one approved by
the Federal communications Com
mission.
An RCA progress "demonstra-
ton" in the National Broadcasting
Co. studios in the Trans-Lux
Building displayed the RCA elec-
tronic tri-tube "dot sequential"
system and claimed eight major
improvements since the FEC held
hearings. The idea in the tube
system is to allow the conversion
of existing black and white tele-
vision sets to receive RCA color
programs.
FEC members were not in the
audience of several hundred press
writer's and radio industry repre-
Sentatives. David Sarnoff, RCA
president, announced the COM
mission has informally been in
vited to view it if they wish.
Regardless of the outcome of
pending litigation in Federal Court
in Chicago. Mr.. Sarnoff added,
RCA hopes the FEC will come to
see' that the RFC system is
reader" than any other system
for commercial production. And
that includes the Columbia Broad
casting Systems color TV method
approved by FEC last October, he
declared.
War InterfereS.
The national emergency prob
ably has blotted out any immedi-
ate chances of TV color instru-
ment production, Mr.. Sarnof said.
Moreover. large scale commercial
production might require as long
as two years under the most favor
able economic conditions, he ex-
planned. But, he added, RCA will
continue it's work of improving
still more its system.

Board Of Trade Asks
Four Major Changes
In NCPPC Structure

Four major revisions in pending
legislation to reorganize the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission were urged last night
by a Washington Board of Trade
spokesman in talk before the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce.
Ernest F. Henry, a director of
the trade group and chairman of
its Metropolitan Development
Committee, said unless there is
some modification of the proposed
new setup local areas cannot
hope to preserve their local char
acter and their local voice in
major changes in their respective
areas"
He urged the Bethesda group to
take a stand on the issue, de-
claring that there is a chance that
Congress will act on the reorgan-
ization bill before the Christmas
adjournment.
Changes Outlined.
The four points he emphasized
were:
l. The reorganization should
give the NCPPC certain added
powers and functions, but not as
extensive as those proposed.
2. The proposed 50-mile radius
to come under the agency's control
is excessive" Jurisdiction should
not go beyond Montgomery, Prince
Georges. Arlington and Fairfax
Counties.
3. The agency should be re-
quired to hold public hearings
and to provide an opportunity for
the public to participate in the
planning. This Is optional in the
proposed legislation.
4. Membership on the agency
should be revised to provide more
adequate local representation. This
could be accomplished by having
three members appointed from
Maryland. three from Virginia and
three from the District, while re-
ducing the professional city PLAN
ners from five to three. This
would increase the total member
ship to 10, instead Of Is as pro-
posed. Also two of the Federal
officials could be eliminated and
only two members each could be
appointed from the District, Mary
land and Virginia.
More Participation Sought.
ITO be really good planning the
non-governmental, civic, business
and professional public should be
given full opportunity to know
what's going on and to participate
in that planning. Under the pres
ent and proposed legislation, this
public participation in the plan
ming of the Federal agency is very
unsatisfactory" said Mr.. Henry.
The Bethesda groups dinner
meeting was held at the Kenwood
Club.

Then I stepped into feet Of
water"
No one was hurt in the blaze. It
caused considerable damage to
the second floor of the two story
combination frame and brick
house, which police said was
owned by Mrs. Anna M. McCune
The cause was unknown.
Mrs. McCune, her mother and
her 12-year-old daughter were in
the house when the fire started.
They made their way to safety
without difficulty.
Firemen were temporarily han
dicapped because the house was
located some distance from the
road. They had to lay 420 feet
of hose. and for awhile only one
truck could get into the area.
