WASHINGTON-U. S. District
Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE,
Tuesday entered a judgment of
acquittal for the Peace Informa-
tion Center and the five indi-
vidual defendants who were
charged with violation of the
Foreign Agents Registration Act.
At the start Of Tuesdays ses-
sion Judge Mcguire first entered
a judgment of acquittal for Miss
Sylvia Soloff. He said the Gov
ernment evidence revealed her
as paid employe of the Center
rather than a policy maker,
Later, after hearing long defense
arguments he entered a similar
judgment for the four other de-
PENDANTS.
He ruled the prosecution had
failed to link the activities of
the Center to a foreign principal
by the circulation of the Stock
holm Peace Appeal, So-named be-
cause first issued in the capital
of Sweden.
The Peace Information Cen
ter with Office at 799 Broadway,
New York and five of its officers,
including DR.. Dubois, was in
dicted by a federal grand jury
on February 9. The Center was
charged with failure to register
with the U. S. Attorney-Gene
as an agent of a foreign prin-
cipal. The five officers were ac-
cused of falling to cause it to
register.
Dubois and associates denied
being foreign agents. In answer
The guardian., 1951-11-24

to the charges when brought
against the Peace Center DR..
Dubois said. "As chairman of
the Peace Information Center
during its existence, l can state
categorically that we we're an
entirely American organization
whose sole objective was to Sc
cure peace and prevent a third
World War"
The Center closed down in
October, 1850. After official in
dictment it was discovered that
the office had been cleared of
an furniture and files. No one
connected with Center was with
in the place. Others indicted
with Dubois were Mrs. Eliza
beth Moos. Miss Sylvia Soloff,
Abbott Simon and Kryle Elkin,
all of New York.
The trial opened Nov 8 with
a mixed" jury. Among Gov
ernment witnesses were o. John
Rogge, former Asst. Atty. Cen
eral; F. Kirk Maddrix, Asst.
Atty. General.
Secretary of State Dean Ach-
eson previously had described
the Stockholm peace appeal as
a propaganda trick" in spuri-
Gus peace offensive of Russia.
Asst. Atty. General Maddriz
told the jury the Peace Center
served as publicity agent for The
executive committee of the
World Congress Of Defenders o.
Peace by circulating the Stock
holm appeal. He called the ex'
ecutive committee the foreign

principal" in the case.
Former Congressman Vito
Marcantonio, of the American
Labor Party of New York, chief
defense counsel, said the Peace
Information Center acted on its
own in circulating the Stock
holm appeal and was not under
the direction of the committee
of the World Congress of the
Defenders of Peace, which was
organized in Paris and had its
headquarters there.
Both Rogge and Dubois had
attended the World Congress in
Paris. At that time reports by
returning American participants
declared that the auditorium
was packed by a crowd of 10000
at each of three sessions.
Largely because of the prom
inenee of Dubois, scholar, edu-
Gator and author, the Peace
Center case had reused national
and international interest. Or
ganizations and individuals in
the United States sent petitions,
letters and wires to President
Truman and the Attorney Gen
eral asking them to drop the
case, and in a number Of in
stances contributions for the de-
Tense of Dubois were made vol
unfairly. Everywhere belief per-
sisted that Dubois never was
and never could be disloyal and
that a man of his independence
and general temperament never
could accept a post as agent foi
any civilian body.

toned picnic at the school will be

before, and will visit at Manns
Harbor and confer with the Secre-
tary- Treasurer, Mrs. Oma Pearl

day, and will attend to any bust
ness needed. The clan will also Sc
lect the place for the next annual
meeting.

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

For many a man, Christmas is
the time for increasing the col
lection of family ties! (Oh, why
will women persist in trying to pick
ties for menD But, in come thei
four hands. the ascots, the bows, the
foulards, the jacquards, and the
satins!
1t took the Thirty Years War,
IN the reign of Louis XIV, to intro
duce the tie into France. The Croa-
tian soldiers wore scarf, which
the French called a "cravate," al
corruption of "Croat." This lace
edged linen or muslin cravate be-
came popular in both France and
England. In England it was the
forerunner of the ascot (ASS-cott)
tie, the neckpiece worn by the men
at the famous Ascot Heath race
track, in Berkshire.
In America the ascot tie appears
only at the formal daytime wedding,
where it accompanies the cutaway
coat, the striped trousers, the wing
collar and spats! (And, oh, yes, the
bridegroomD
The ordinary tie is four-in- hand.
Why it is so called, no one seems to
be able to explain. If you watch
closely, though, as youngster ma
nipulates his first tie, you may well
guess: He certainly needs four hands
20 do it!
The four-in-hands are usually
named according to the materials
from which they are made The fou-
lard (foo-LARD) is made Of soft,
thin silk or rayon, with a satin
finish. The name itself is from
Latin fullaire, ito full CLOTH" which
In turn means ito thicken by mois-
tening, heating and pressing; to-
make compact"
The jacquard (juk-KAHRD) is
made of material with an inter-
woven design, and takes its name
from Joseph Marie Jacquard 1752-
1880, a French inventor. Jacquard
invented a labor-saving loom, and
was bitterly opposed by his fellow
silk weavers-they feared his loom
would put them out of business.
Today the word cravat (kruh-
VAT) is rarely used to name a
necktie in America, except in af-
fected circles.
But neckties abound in a won
derful array of colors, shapes, sizes
and weaves.
