bizarre turn in its final hours to-
day with Assistant United States
Attorney Arthur j. Mclaughlin
arguing for the conviction of a
defendant who wasn't there.
Both the 42-year-old physician,
accused of performing two abor-
tions on a 30-year-old former
WAC, and his attorney. Dorsey K.
Offutt, were absent from the
courtroom when Mr.. Mclaughlin
began his closing argument to
the jury of eight men and four
women.
Hurry Into Courtroom.
DR.. Peckham and Mr.. Offutt
hurried into the courtroom sew
eral minutes after Mr.. Nc

jury.
What's happened?" asked Mr..
Offutt.
will you please sit down."

Let's after explaining that final
arguments had begun.
Mr.. Offutt explained he had

to see doctor. When he began
his closing argument short time

being late.
Two Women Testify.
The Government yesterday in
troduced testimony of two young
women, who appeared as surprise
rebuttal prosecution witnesses.
One of the young women testi-
fed DR.. Peckham relieved her of
pregnancy after she visited him
last June.
The other testified DR.. Peckham
had treated her and that after
ward she had a miscarriage.
Il don't know whether it was
because of what he did to me-"
she added.
Both Say They Paid S300.
Both testified the physician
treated them last year and that
they paid him $500 each. This
is the same sum the prosecution
contends DR.. Peckham asked for
the abortion on the former WAC
DR.. Peckham is on trial only on
charges of performing an illegal
operation on the former WAC last
July which he denies. He admit
ted. however, during testimony

Estate in Fauquier
Speeial Dispatch 10 The Stor

WARRENTON, Va, Jan. IL
Two historic Fauquier County es-
tates changed hands this week
with the sale of Glen Welby, near

Full Sterilization Urged.
2. If prices are controlled, then
wages should be stabilized, allow
ing only those cost-of living in
creaSes necessary to meet COM
petitive situations locally and to
preserve historic differentials
Should the cost of living rise out
of hand. then the Government
should consider new wage increase
limitations.
3. Disputes might better be
handled by local or Statewide
boards-not by the Wage Stabili-
cation Board.
4. Industries like railroads,
which bargain Nation wide, should
be allowed only enough wage i'll
creases to bring them up to par
with other comparable industries.
Labor Wary of Offering Formula.
Other labor officials besides Mr..
Lewis accepted the theory that
there must be some kind Of sta
bilization program-although they
did not attempt to tell the board
what kind of formula to adopt.
They made these general points
in a prepared statement:
l. There can be no wage ccn-
trolls without an all-out ogram
of price stabilization, taxation to
combat imitation through excess
profits and higher individual taxes
2. Wage stabilization is a sup
plement to collective bargaining,
not a substitute for it. Actual
adjustment of inequities under a
wage control program must be
left to bargaining, they said.
3. The wage board must lave
real authority to make uecisions.
1T can't be an adviser to an
assistant to Mr.. Wilson," they
said. Under the present Defense
Act. the board advises Mr.. Valen-
tine, who in turn is under Mobil-
ization Director Wilson.
4. The Defense Act must be
amended to permit tough controls
on food prices. They cannot now
sink below the level prevailing
just before the Korean war or
parity, whichever is higher. Parity
is a calculated price said by law
to be fair to both farmers and
consumers.

would have meant a freeze of al
prices for at least a month.
The Di Sale plan, which wa.
ready for use when the opposition
of Mr.. Valentine was encountered
would have been applied to all pro.
ducts and services. including fooe
at the professor, wholesale anc
retail levels. Under present Law
the Government does not have
authority to set price ceilings al
the farm level unless a particular
product is selling at parity.
Voluntary Plan to Continue.
The announcement that a price
freeze would not be imposed at
this time was made by Mr.. Valen-
tine and Mr.. Di Sale at a Joint
news conference last night. Pre-
sunably Mr.. Valentine had the
support of Mobilization Director
Charles E. Wilson, who under the
defense set up has overall control
of stabilization policy.
Mr.. Valentine said that for the
time being the Government would
hold to its program of seeking VOL
untary curbs on prices and apply
ing mandatory controls on a selec-
tive industry basis. So far an &C
tual freeze of prices and wages
has been applied only to the auto
mobile industry.
Elsewhere on the controls front
top labor leaders said the Gov
ernment must mould wage-price
| policy flexible enough to work fo1
a decade.
Wage Hearings Still On.
They gave that appraisal to the
Wage Sterilization Board, an arm
OF the Economic Sterilization
Agency of Mr.. Valentine. The
board, headed by Cyrus s. Ching
is holding hearings on wage-con-
troll policy.
The appeal for a long-range
policy came from spokesmen for
the AFL, CIO machinists and rail-
road unions, joining in testimony
as the United Labor Policy Com
mittee. They said the present
emergency may stretch on indefi-
nitely. and we're not planning
for a short-term situation"
The group represented all ma
jor elements of the organized Ia
Dor movement except John L
Lewis, United Mine Workers chief
who was heard separately by the
Wage Board yesterday. He ad-
vised against any kind of wage
or price controls.
Mosher Speaks for NAM.
Another who appeared was Ira
Mosher, spokesman for the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers and the Associated General
Contractors.
| Mr.. Mosher later told a news
conference the NAM was not ask
ing for a no-strike pledge from
labor.
| He said the CIO and AFL pledge
of World War II had not been ef-
fective in eliminating shutdowns
The former NAM chief explained
his associations position on wage
and price controls this way:

their statement. includes getting
the most education for the tax
payers tax dollar. restoring har-
mony in the schools. providing the
right choice OF school subjects for
all the children Of all the people,
and improvement Of buildings and
materials as rapidly as money Is

This coalition slate, includes one
business man, Anders Thompson;
one attorney. Frank Fudah; one
professional publicity man, orlin
Folwick, and one labor union rep

other combination of candidates
represents so many groups from
the citizens OF Minneapolis. All
these men have long been active
in public affairs. Two have been
officers Of the Citizens Commit
tee for Public Education, one is
president of the Edison PT.A.,
one Is on the State Board OF
Managers OF the PTA.. and all
have been active in such Organiza-
tons as the American Legion,
church groups, and service Organi-
Zations
Carl Carlson, committee chair
man said, Their approach to the
Improvement OF education Is prac-
teal. They know what we have to
start WITHHOLD buildings poorly
kept up, qualified teachers who
have been kept in conflict by an
unsympathetic school board do not
prepare for college or earn a liv-
ing. They know where they want
TO GO They want courses which
will provide both the 3 RS and
education for living and making a
living. They want happy teachers
to do their best possible work
with children In good, clean build
ings. They want to eliminate
waste by making every tax dollar
go directly for better instruction.
And they want to do these things
now They know that growing
children can't wait for education:
next year may be too late"

This slate Of candidates, Anders
Thompson. John Mccall. Frank
F>udali, and Orlin Folwick. Is the
only group responsible to any
body but themselves. They have a

Every other candidate either Is
running on his own responsibility
or owes his support to undercover,
unknown groups with no perma-
nent organization or community
responsibility. They ask citizens
to vote for the Better Schools
