District Budget
Proposes Fund
For Symphony
Congress Asked
To Allow $4,000
For Orchestra Aid

The Commissioners moved to-
day to include $4,000 for the
National Symphony Orchestra in
the Districts budget for the next
fiscal year. A House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee will open ex-
ecutive hearings on the $136 mil
lion budget at 10 am. tomorrow.
If Congress approves the item,
it will be the first time the SYM
phony has ever received money
from the city.
In fiscal 1916, an attempt by
the Senate to provide $4,000 of
District funds to pay the orchestra
for concerts in the schools failed
in conference between the two
houses of Congress.
$4,000 Asked Originally.
Officials of the National SYM
phony Orchestra Association last
week requested the District to
provide $25, 1000 for the orchestra
in the year beginning next July
l. The city heads, however, ap-
proved the smaller sum.
In deciding to seek funds for
the orchestra next year, the Com
missioners termed it a contribu-
tion to the community life and an
addition to the education pro-
gram.
The city heads also took into
consideration the fact that a num-
Der of other cities contribute sub
Stantially to their symphony
orcheStraS.
Other Cities Cited. !
Recent figures cited by the as
sociation members indicated, for
example, that Baltimore had pro-
vided $70,500 for this year; San
Francisco. $45,000; Philadelphia,
100000, and Indianapolis, $685.
900 from the city budget and $751;
600 from the school budget.
The $4,000 sustaining fund
drive for the orchestra, which has
been under way since February so
far has raised only $154,000.
In commenting on the Com
miSsioners' action, Commissioner
Donohue expressed hope that Dis
trict residents would support the
orchestra since I'VE have given
evidence that we are supporting
It,"
Fast Action Planned.
Chairman Bates of the Appro-
priations Subcommittee said he
plans to hold both morning and
afternoon sessions, and hopes toI
finish the task within 10 days orI
two weeks.
First witnesses are expected toI
be the District Commissioners and
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler.
This will be the first appear
ance of Commissioner Donohue
before the funds subcommittee
handling the District budget.
Estimates for the District next
year total $136, 6,778,6 800, compared
with $120,023,481 appropriated for
this current fiscal year.
The subcommittee headed by
Representative Bates, Democrat, |
of Kentucky, includes Democratic
Representatives Yates of Illinois,
Furculo of Massachusetts,; and
Republican Representatives Stock
man Of Oregon, and Wilson of
Indiana.

Gambling Tax
Unconstitutional
Saws LAWYER

Chicago (NNPA) The attorney
for two alleged handbook opera
tors arrested by city police in a
raid on November II offered last
Tuesday to use his clients in carry
ing a test case of the new federal
tax on gamblers to the United
States Supreme Court.
The attorney, Joseph E. Green,
charged that the tax is intended
to put gamblers out of business.
Thus the law is unconstitutional,
he said, because it is an attempt
to usurp police powers delegated
to the states.
The offer was made to John G.
Moynihan, assistant chief field de-
putty for the office of Internal Re-
venue Collector. Moynihan told
Green that the collectors office
has not yet set up enforcement
procedure.
Green said he would bring in
his clients at any time the Federal
Government wants to arrest them.
In Washington, there already is
pending a civil suit attacking the
legality of the tax.
The new law, which has draS-
tically curbed numbers, policy and
bookmaking, provides that gam
blers must purchase oceupational
tax stamps costing $50 annually
and pay a 10 per cent tax on all
bets they take. Gamblers have un-
til November 80 to buy the stamps
and until December 81 to pay the
tax on their November business.
Green's two clients are Cornelius
Coleman, Al, 4443 Michigan Ave-,
and Charles Long, 81, 62O5 Lang
ley Ave-, who were arrested at
5742 South Parkway.
On Green's motion the cases
against the two, charged with being
keepers of a handbook, were con-
tinued last Tuesday by Judge Harry
P. Bean in South State Street
Court to December 20.

sition shortly after Mr.. Truman
told press conference at the
title White House in Key West,
where the president is vacationing,
that his administration will cling
to it's Fair Deal platform which
includes the Civil Rights planks.
It will be recalled that three
factors weighed heavily in Mr..
Truman's victory in 1913: Farm
support, Negro support, and labor
support. In each case Mr.. Truman
made a definite appeal. He prom
ised Civil Rights for the Negro;
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Law
for labor; and greater aid to the
farmers. Up to this point, nearly
fotur years later, the president has
not made good on any of these
promises, despite the fact that he
has had a good working majority
in the Democratic congress.
It is believed in some circles that
the CIO proposal will give the
president q chance to salvage
something of his program, al
though a FEPC Committee by Ex-
ecutive Order would not be the
same as a committee established
by congress.
Meanwhile, a senate subcommit-
tee has gone forward with plans
to study proposals for bill to
be submitted to the senate when
congress reconvenes next January
for the final session of the 82nd
Congress.
Although nothing has been said
about it publicly, there has been
talk about seeking a bipartisan
approach to the problem, with New
York'S Senator Irving M. Ives as
the key member of the Republican
party on Joint Committee. 1t was
pointed out that the success of the
State Commission Against Dis
elimination in New York was due
to the fact that it was worked out
and proposed by the IveS-Quinn
Committee (Senator Elmer Quinn
is a Democfat) and was backed
by the leadership of both parties
and had the unqualified backing
Of Governor Dewey.
It is believed that this approach
is the only one that would give
FEPC legislation in Washington
any chance at all of being enacted.

RETROACTIVE PAY ILLEGAL,
SAYS CITY ATTORNEY

The City Attorney has ruled that
it would not be legal for the city
to grant retroactive pay increases
beyond the beginning of the pay
period within which such pay in
crease is granted. The decision is
based upon the opinion that any
pay increase granted prior to the
beginning of the pay period would,
in effect, amount to a gift or gra-
tuity. Payment of gifts or gratu-
tiles by the city are prohibited
under the City Charter.

Dr.. Dubois Is
Found To Be
Not Guilty
BY Louis Lautier

washington, -. L. (NNPA) -
DR.. William E. Dubois and his
four co-defendants last Tuesday in
the sixth day of their trial were
found not guilty on a directed YER
dict of failing to register the
Peace Information Center as a
foreign agent.
Judge Matthew M. Mcclure in
District Court here directed the
verdicts of acquittal for the gov
erliment. He ruled the government
had not proved it's case.
The first directed verdict was
given on the opening of court last
Tuesday morning by Judge Nc
Guire on his own initiative. On
coming on the bench at the con-
vening of court, Judge MCGUIRE
announced there was mo evidence
to go to the jury" with respect to
Miss Sylvia Soloff and, therefore,
he ordered a verdict of acquittal
of her.
He told Miss Soloff she was free
to go whenever she saw fit and
directed her to move from among
the defendants inside. the railing
separating the defendants, lawyers,
Jurors and judge from the Specta-
tors, and to take seat among
the spectators.
Miss Soloff remained in court
until the luncheon recess and then
made telephone call to her fam
lily in New York City to inform
them of her. aeauittal. a..--
1t was learned that Judge Nc
Guire based his directed verdict in
the case of Miss Soloff on the fact
that the proof offered by the gov
ernment showed that she was the
office secretary of the Peace In
formation Center, a paid employee,
and not an officer having anything
TO do with the registration of the
organization.
Immediately after the directed
cerdict in the case of Miss Soloff,
Vito Marcantonio of New York,
chief defense counsel, moved for
a directed verdict on the ground
OF lack of jurisdiction.
His argument on this motion was
that the Peace Information Gen.
ter was dead" at the time it was
indicted Feb. 2, 1851, for failing
to register as a foreign agent un-
der the Foreign Registration Act.
The indictment charged the Cen
ter, of which DR.. Dubois was the
chairman, with acting as publicity
agent for the Committee of the
World Congress of the Defenders
of Peace, which had its headquar-
ters in Paris. The Peace Informa-
ton Center was located in New
York City.

Arab Legion Leader
Accused as Chief Of
AbduIIah's S Staying
By the Asseeiotsd Press

AMMAN, Jordan, Aug. 18.-The
prosecution charged today that
Col. Abdullah el Tel, the Arab
Legion commander who swept the
Jews out of Old Jerusalem, was
the chief conspirator in the July
20 assassination of King Abdullah.
The charge was made at the
opening Of the trial Of 10 persons
accused of plotting and abetting
the assassination of one of the
most colorful figures in the Middle
East at the Mosque of. Omar in
Old Jerusalem.
Tried in AbSentia.
Col. el Tel and Mousa Ahmed
el Ayoubi are being tried in alb
sentia. Col. ell Tel, who COM
manded Jordan's forces in the
fierce fighting inside Jerusalem
in 1948 and became military gov
ernor and then civil commissioner
in the old city, broke with King
Abdullah early last year and fed
to Egypt.
The prosecutor said tonight that
Jordan'S Premier Abul Huda Pasha
has demanded officially the extra
dition of Ell Tel by Egypt. He is
charged specifically with plotting,
abetting and inducing the asasina-
tion of Abdullah."
Three of the defendants are
cousins of Hal Amin el Husseini,
bearded former Mufti Of Jerusa-
lem who also is in exile in Egypt.
Terroristic Band Named.
The actual slayer, 21-year-old
Moslem tailor named Mustapha
Shukry Ashsho. was shot down by
Abdullah'S guards. He was said
to have been a member of a pro-
Mufti terroriStic band called the
Sacred Struggle organization.
The eight captive defendants,
looking pale and nervous, were
brought under heavy guard into
a small courtroom at the Antelby
Military Camp. two miles west of
Amman. Gen. ABBEY Kader ell
Geundy presided over the special
three-man military court.
The prosecutor said the assaS-
sination was planned in Col ell
Tells Cairo home. that Ell Tel con-
tributed to the plot financially
end Mousa el Ayoubi acted as
liaison between the colonel and
Mousa el Husseini, a graduate of
Berlin and London universities.
"MouSa el HusSeini executed in
Jerusalem what was planned by
FL Tel in Cairo" he declared.
Three Deny Guilt.
Father Ayyad, Dr.. Mousa ell
Husseini and DR.. Daud el Husseini
declared themselves mot guilty" !"
Col. ell Tel also has denied in Cairo
any connection with the assas-
gination.
Defense lawyers challenged the
courts jurisdiction, declaring it
was unconstitutional. The court,
created by a special act following
the assassination, overruled the
objection.
After five hours the court was
adjourned until tomorrow at the
request of the defense lawyers
who said they had been given NO
opportunity to confer with the
defendants. The lawyers met the
defendants in prison late this
afternoon.
