Pressmen May Settle
DISPUTE Out of Court

Local No. l of the AF7L Inter-
national Printing Pressmen's I'm
ion may settle its differences with
the international union out of
court. 81
This was indicated yesterday
when counsel for Local No. l
withdrew a motion before District
Court Judge Matthew F. Mcguire.
which had sought to have the in
ternational cited in contempt of
court on a contention it had vio-
lated the terms of court order
of last March.
Judge Mcclure, last March, en-
joined the international from re-
voking the charter of Local No.
and also prohibited the interna-
tional from penalizing it..
Local No. l has contended the
effort of the international to re-
woke the locals charter was in
retaliation for the locals having
instituted proceedings against the
estate of the late George L. Berry.
long time president of the inter-
national, whom Local No. l con-
tended misused union funds.
In April, Local No. / filed a
second District Court suit, saying
the international had organized
Local No. ISL. which would have
jurisdiction over printing press
men employed in commercial
shops. The April suit contends
Local No. would be stripped OF
about $50 members if Local 351
were allowed to operate.
Attorney Lloyd Garrison of New
York, described his withdrawal of
the contempt motion las a con-
tribution toward settlement" At
the same time, he reserved the
right to proceed with the April
suit in the event a settlement is
not reached. That suit asks for
an injunction and revocation o.
a charter granted Local 351..

Appeal Fight Mapped
After District Court
UphoIds Transit Radio

L THE UnitedsStates Court OF Ap-
peals will be the next stop for
Washingtons dissident transit
riders. rehuffe ed sby District Court
4 in their rebellion against becoming
a captive audience" to music and
ads on transit radio.
This next step was announced
by attorneys at the close of their
losing day-long fight before Judge
Edward A. Tamm. After hearing
their arguments and those of law
yers for the Public Utilities Com
mission and Washington Transit
Radio. Inc. Judge Tamm ruled !:
'Basically. there is no legal
right of the petitioners that has
been invaded, threatened or vio-
lated" by the commission order of
last fall, sanctioning radio re-
ception on Capital Transit Co. ve-
hicleS.
Yesterdays stage Of the action
was carried BY the Transit Riders
Association, which says it has 500
members, and three lawyers who
filed two separate suits, Franklin
S. Pollak, Guy Martin and Paul
N. Temple.
Another Suit Stands.
One law suit still remains in
District Court. however. This is
the Transit Riders injunction plea
to force the broadcasts from pub
lie transport vehicles.
Claude N. Palmer, president of
the riders group. declared in a
statement last night that the as
sociation is prepared to take the
issue to the Supreme Court to de-
termine whether transit patrons
are personal property to be
bought by advertisers at so much
per thousand"
Litigants could be heartened to-
day by the appearance of two new
allies in the cause. The American
Civil Liberties Union. stepped into
the court proceedings as an in
terested party, while the CIO ma
tional Office petitioned the Federal
Communications Commission to
declare program reception on
streetcars and buses contrary to
the public interest"
All raised the same cry that
transit radio violates the right of
free speech.
Liberty of Mind" Involved.
Before Judge Tamm, Attorney
Pollak went further by saying it
violates the liberty of the mind. -"
"A man has a right to use his
mind any way he wants." he de-
clared. That liberty must be pro-
tected by the Constitution.
The CIO and the Civil Liberties
Union, meanwhile, have asked
FEC for immediate hearings.
Both seek rulings in the Capital
Transit case, which would affect
the status of transit radio all over
the country. A reported IA cities
in all have radio reception in pub
lie transportation vehicles.

Officers Club
Slot Machines
DrawFrowns
But Justice OfficiuIs
Plan No Action UnIes.
Congress Passes Bill

"One-armed bandits" operating
in officers clubs on military posts
in the Washington area are
frowned upon by the Justice De-
parment but no formal action will
be taken against the slot ma
chimes unless Congress passes q
law, the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee
was told today.
Representative Beckworth, Dem
ocrat, of Texas, questioned Drew
T. j. O'Keefe, special assistant to
the Attorney General, about the
operation of slot machines on mil
itary posts at hearings on a pro-
posed bill to ban interstate ship
ment of gambling devices. He re-
called that Defense Secretary
johnson recently ordered removal
of slot machines from the ath-
letic club in the Pentagon Build
ing and asked if that action had
Justice Department approval.
Mr.. O'Keefe said the Justice
Department concurred whole
heartedly in Secretary Johnson's s
action and believed slot machines
should be banned from all FEEDER
al reservations.
Aware of Operation.
The Justice Department. is
aware, Mr.. O'Keefe said, that slot
machines are operated in officers
clubs on military posts but it
planned no action against them
because it did not want to "inter-
fere" in the administration of the
Defense Department. No Federal
laws are violated, he pointed out.
If the Justice Department is
truly interested in getting rid of
slot machines" Mr.. Beckworth
said, sit would be an excellent
place to begin with these officers
clubs"
Mr.. OKeefe said that if the
bill under consideration by the
committee is enacted he felt con-
f1dent slot machines would be re-
moved from all Federal installa-
tionS.
Attorneys General Favor Bill.
Paul Hammond, attorney gen.
eral of Maryland. told the COM
mittee the National Association of
Attorneys General is in favor of
a Federal law prohibiting inter-
state transportation of gambling
devices.
Mr.. Hammond said he favored
the provision in the proposed
legislation which permitted State
Governors to license mechanical
devices designed for amusement
and to classify slot machines as
legal in areas where State Iegisla-
lures iauthorize their operation.
He pointed out that slot machines
are legal in four Maryland coun-
ties now. He said he did not think
the proposed bill as drafted by
the Justice Department would
prohibit the shipment of pari-
mutual machines in States where
horse racing is legalized.

However. a conflicting story
came from Mr.. France, accord
ing to Detective Pearson. He said
the youth told him De Lucia stole
the money from his wife and
had threatened to kill her.
Detective Pearson said Mrs. De
Lucia gave this account:

turned some money over to him
and he left. telling both to be
gone when he returned.
Argument Renewed.
De Lucia came back about an
hour later and said the money was
about $3.50 short, and the argu-
ment started anew. Mr.. France
began scuffling with De Lucia,
and Mrs. De Lucia 'saw her hus-
bands hand up in the air." She
didn't see the knife. j "a.
Both fell to- the grofind, DE
Lucia got UP and left. Her son
got up, then collapsed.
Police found pocketknife with
4-inch blade on De Lucia, who
told them he had "cut his stepson
with it after his stepson had
knocked him down"
