Professor Criticizes
Truman Appointments
To Supreme Court

President 'Truman's appoint
ments to the Supreme Court
yesterday were termed a "disap-
pointment" by University of
California at Los Angeles profess
SOr.
Addressing a closing session of
the 46th annual meeting of the
American Political Science Asso-
citation in the Mayfower Hotel,
Prof. David G. Farrelly declared:
"All Truman's appointees have
been cut from the same cloth.
When it comes to voting to check
law enforcement officers or to de-
eide cases so that they are 'rea-
sonable searches and seizures
without a warrant, the Truman
justices adopt the latter course. !"
Cites Fourth Amendment.
He added that for those who
wish the Fourth Amendment
maintained as a firm barrier to
enforcement officers "a restraint
that puts the judiciary rather
than the administrators in the
saddle-the Truman appointees
have been a disappointment"
The speaker said that Justice
Burton docs not measure up" to
his predecessor, Justice Owen j
Roberts. that Chief Justice Vim
son falls considerably short OF
approaching" the position of for
mer Chief Justice Stone and that
Justices Minton and Clark stand
barefooted alongside the vacated
shoes" of former Justices Murphy
and Rutledge.
Benjamin V. Cohen, United
States delegate to the United Ma
tionS, told delegates at another
session that if the United Ma
tionS we're not in existence, it is
doubtful that the United States
would ever have gone to the
armed defense of the South
Koreans.
Sees Attack Inevitable.
In any event the North Koreans
would have attacked the South
Koreans as soon as the Russian
and American troops were with
drawn, he said.
He was disclosing the i'm
pact" of the United Nations on
American foreign policy and sug-
gested that this country's foreign
policy would differ greatly if the
U. N. did not exist.
IF the United States" he said,
"had been confronted with that
situation without any commit
mentS under the United Nations
to cooperate with other nations
in the suppression of aggression,
it is a very serious question
whether the United States would
have come to the armed defense
of the victims of the North
Korean aggression. Had the
United States done so, the reasons
for it's intervention would have
been far less clear to a confused
world opinion and it probably
would have had little or no sup
port, moral or material, from its
allies"
One effect of the U. N. on
United States foreign policy, he
said, was that this country has
become increasingly conscious of
the Importance in it's own interest
as a world power of having the
support of world public opinion"
Before winding up their 3-day
meeting delegates voted to hold
their 1851 meeting at San
Francisco, August 1880.

District Seeks RuIinq
On Liquor Dealers
-
Sales 10 Boot|eggers

The Commissioners are seeking
a legal ruling as to whether sales
by liquor dealers to bootleggers
violate the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Act.
An opinion by the Corporation
Counsel was requested by Alan w.
Payne. chairman of the ABC
Board. who said that if present
provisions of the law are made
quate, additional legislation may
be needed.
Mr.. Payne said the board has
reports that large quantities of
beverages from the District have
been bootlegged in North Carolina.
In a letter to Mr.. Payne, Chair
man r. w. Winston of the North
Carolina Board of Alcoholic Con-
troll said he believed bootlegging
in his State was greatly on the
increase.
Other Reports Cited.
Mr.. Payne said the board also
had had some reports from Vir-
ginia and West Virginia in the
past.
In North Carolina, tranSporta-
ton even of legal State tax-paid
liquor in excess of one gallon is
a violation of the law.
Mr.. Payne told the Commits
sioners that while the board is
aware that suppression of illegal
traffic within State is a matter
for local authorities, it's purpose
always had been to cooperate
with other States in their efforts
at control.
He said it was the opinion of
the majority of the board that sale
by licensees for bootlegging in vio-
lation of the laws of other States
was in violation of the intent of
the District act.
1916 Opinion Recalled.
Mr.. Payne noted that in a 1916
opinion on the question, dealing
with one section of the act, the
Corporation Counsel said that
since there is no limit on the
quantity which may be sold a
customer. there would be no vio-
lation of the regulations.
But another section provides
that the holder of a retailers
Glass A license may not sell TO
other licensees for resale, MIR.
Payne added, and the majority
of the board believes it is the
intent of the provision that a
retailer must not sell to any
one for resale.
He pointed out further that
the District law prohibits sale
without proper license. states a
licensee may not permit his
premises to be used for any un-
lawful purpose and provides that
a license may be revoked or sus-
pended if the licensee otherwise
fails to carry out in good faith"
the provision of the act.
He said it is the sense of the
majority of the board that for a
dealer TO sell beverages in quantity
to a bootlegger is in violation of
the law.
Also, the majority of the mem
bers feel that for a retail llcensee
to sell beverages in quantity to
someone giving out-of- town ad-
dress. or deliver the goods for
transportation in a vehicle with
out-of- town license plates should
be taken as prima facie evidence
of the licensees conspiracy to
sell for bootlegging purposes, he
reported.

Maritime Unions Seek
ToLega|ize Hiring Hall
To Avert New Strike
BY the Associated Press

The CIO Executive Board to-
day considered an immediate
appeal to Congress to legalize the
maritime unions hiring hall sys-
tenn. Board members want action
in time to head off new shipping
and waterfront crisis.
A Senate Labor Subcommittee
headed by Senator Murray, DEM
ocrat, of Montana will give the
problem prompt attention" the
chairman said. He added that
the hiring hall had proved itself
good for labor relations in the
maritime industry and he ex-
pressed fear its abandonment
could lead TO a lot of trouble
and strife"
The Supreme Court yesterday
cast doubts on the legality of the
hiring hall plans Of all maritime
unions. by which their members
get preference In employment.
The tribunal refused to review
the decision Of the Circuit Court
Of Appeals in New York, which
had ruled the Go National Mari
time Unions hiring hall contract
with four Great Lakes shippers to
be illegal under the Taft-Hartley
Act. That had the effect of up
holding the lower courts decision,
which had backed up findings of
the National Labor Relations
Board. The Hartley law
forbids job discrimination on ac-
count of membership or nom
membership in union.

meeting here to consider legisla-
tive, economic and international
problems-along with the possible

Supreme Court Defers
Hearing on Charges
OF Realty Fee Fixing

A Supreme Court hearing on
the Justice Departments drive
against asserted fee fixing by real
estate groups here has been put
off at least until mid March.
At the Departments request
the court yesterday postponed ar
guments on the case involving
the Washington Real Estate Board
and the National Association of
Real Estate Boards. Arguments
were to have been heard tomor-
row.
The Department contends those
groups violated the antitrust law
by fixing brokerage commissions.
Its civil suit against them was dis
missed in District Court last June,
but the Supreme Court granted
the Departments plea for a re-
view.
After next Mondays session, the
court will recess until March 13.
Yesterdays session was one of the
shortest of the current term and
included only one written opinion.
Maritime Union Decision.
The principal action was to hold,
in effect, that. under the Taft
Hartley Act, the CIO National

demand hiring hail. provisions
in its contract with the Great
Lakes Transport Corp. the Texas
Co. and several other tanker OPP
Grating concerns in the Cleveland
area.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals in New York had ruled that
use OF hiring halls, under which
the union assigns its members to
jobs when made available by en-
ployers, is contrary to the closed
shop ban in the Taft-Hartley Act.
The appellate court sustained
National Labor Relations Board
order against the union on the
hiring hall provision. The union
appealed to the Supreme Court,
but the tribunal yesterday re-
fused to review, thus letting the
lower court ruling stand.
Refuse Divorce Review.
The court refused to review
another attack on the Nevada di-
vorce law. 1t turned down a COM
plant by a Massachusetts, woman
that State courts improperly
recognized a Reno divorce OBJ

OF a section of the Foreign Air
Carriers Act also fell by the way
side. when the court dismissed an
appeal by Colonial Airlines, Inc.

miSsal.

June to get District Court in
