Buckley TO Hold Out
For Power on Seaway
BY the Asseeiuied Pres,

CORNWALL. Ontario. June 5.
The chairman of a United
States congressional committee
says he is holding out for develop
ment of both the power and navi-
cation aspects of the st. Lawrence
Seaway, rather than of the power
alone.
I'VE are going to get the water
way or there1l be no water power,
as far as I'm concerned" Repre-
sentative Buckley, Democrat. of
New York last night told a dinner
given members of the House
of Representatives Public Works
Committee visiting seaway sites.
The Ontario and New York
State governments have urged
that the power development be
undertaken if a go-ahead could
not be obtained on the entire
plan. The combined power and
waterway project has been stalled
for 10 years by lack of action by
Congress.
But another dinner speaker,
Maj. Gen. Lewis Pick, chief of the
United States Army Corps of En-
gineers, said the waterway alone
should be undertaken. The gen.
eral, accompanying the commit
tee as technical adviser, said:
I'VE can get along without this
power. We can make power else
where but we need the Habrador)
iron ore and we must not allow
selfish interests or motives to de-
stroy this project"

Commissioners 0kay
Funds for Tunnel Plans

The Commissioners have ap-
proved spending 5000 of District
highway funds for preparation of
plans to construct a tunnel road
way through the old Liberty Loan
Building.
The tunnel is to provide for a
clover leaf ramp on the northwest
corner Of Fourteenth street and
Maine avenue S.W. The ramp is
one of several moves to improve
the traffic flow to and from the
Highway Bridges.
Its purpose is to eliminate con-
gestion caused by west-bound
traffic on Maine avenue turning
across two heavy streams of traffic
in order to proceed toward Vir-
ginia.
The General Services Admin
istration has estimated it will cost
$125,000 for alterations to the
Liberty Loan Building. District
officials had sought to have the
old building torn down and the
tunnel is a compromise proposal.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
l.. Robinson said he did not think
there is any chance in the present
emergency of having the building
removed.

Jury Finds Muslin Neglected
Uncle Sans Service for Allah

A District Court jury yesterda,
took the view that. Muslin OF
not. Paul o. Leeks. "a, colored
should have registered for selec.
tive service with Uncle Sam in.
stead Of Allah.
The jury announced its verdicr
in a courtroom virtually filled with
scarlet-robed ladies and scarlet.
necktied men of the Muslin sect
all gathered to lend spiritual sup.
port to the defendant.
United States deputy marshals
stationed in extra numbers about
the courtroom. breathed sighs o1
relief when no demonstration fol.
lowed the verdict.
Leeks' defense against thu
charge of refusing to register fol
the draft as an American citizer
went this way:
Question by Judge Edward M
Curran-Did you register?
A. Yes. To Allah.
@. Where?
A. In Mecca.
Judge Curran further elected
the information that Leeks, now
living in Gaithersburg, has been
a resident-and in the eyes of the
Government, a citizen-of the
United States all his life.
Evening star., 1951-10-18

Where is this Allah of yours. -
Judge Curran inquired.
He is a flesh and blood being,
the defendant explained. He was
last in the United States in 1890
but I did not see him"
Through Attorney S. Benjamin
Cohen, Leeks pleaded that his be-
Iliefs exempted him from registra-
tion, as most American citizens
know it.
Discussing the subject with re-
Iporters during a trial recess, Leeks
revealed he has been a member OF
the Muslin Temple at Twenty
eighth street and Dumbarton ave-
nue. NV. for eight years.
He said there are up to 400
members of the temple, and they
meet three times week. The
lady Muslims. whose hooded robes
|draped all the way to the floor,
wore star-and-crescent insignia,
topped by the initials wv. F. M"
Neither Leeks nor any of his
brothers would divulge the mean

also said the study would deter

merely numerical groupings of

Negroes Told 10 Ask
Congress for School
Anti i-Segregation Law

The District today declared that
if Washington Negroes want to
get their children into white
schools they should ask Congress
to act, rather than the courts.
The corporation counsel's Office
took that stand in a legal brief
filed in the United States Court
Of Appeals in answer to the COM
plant Of the group of Negro par
ents against the Districts refusal
to admit their children to the
white Sousa Junior High School.
The appellants are before the
court protesting District Court
Judge Walter M. Bastian's dis
missal of their suit to force the
school system to integrate the
races in all its schools, and par
ticularly Sousa. The Supreme
Court at this time has another
phase of the same suit under con-
sideration. The high court must
decide whether these same appel
lants are entitled to three
judge constitutional court to hear
the case.
The Districts lawyers in their
brief denied that the present sys-
tenn of separate but equal school
facilities for the two races violates
the Civil Rights Act. the United
Nations Charter and the Fifth
Amendment of the United States
Constitution.
Chief Counsel Milton B. Kor-
man further declared that the
Supreme Court has consistently
held that separate but equal school
facilities are legally and constitu-
tionally valid"
IF the time has come" the brief
stated, "to integrate the races in
District schools, the arguments
should be placed before Congress
who made the laws. The courts
should not be asked to disturb
the situation as they find it, how
ever strongly judges may be i'm
pressed with arguments for the

Judges Launch Inquiry
0fCoHection Methods
Used by Store
By John w. Stepp

The judges of Municipal Court
have launched an investigation
into a clothing firms misuse OF
the courts authority to badger
customers into paying. it was
learned from reliable sources to-
day.
It was understood that a special
board of judges already has been
appointed to examine the matter
exhaustively. Public hearings on
the subject are a distinct posi-
bility, according to the sources.
Target of the inquiry is the
Regal Clothing Co., TIL Seventh
street NV. The store was raked
over the Goals eight days ago by
the Municipal Court of Appeals in
a unanimous opinion describing
Royals collection tactics as rep
rehensible" and IAN affront to the
dignity of the court involved
Legal Sized Papers Used.
Particularly under the appel
late courts criticism were the
stores use of legal-sized and legal
worded forms, resembling official
court papers, as a Final Notice
Before Suit" q misStatement
that, if the case got into court,
the customer faced authorized
legal costs" of $25, whereas court
costs actually are only SITS, and
an announcement that the store
had a court judgment, when such
was not the case. 49, @
These were three elements fig
iuring in a suit in which Regal
sued Washington married couple
for $127.75 indebtedness.
Aside from the collection tao
tics used, it so happened that the
couple had never even been in
the store. much less obtained any,
thing there.
The appeals court got the case
when Regal. through Lawyer
Arthur L. Willcher. appealed dis
missal of its suit by Municipal
Court Judge Thomas D. Quinn
The store was represented before
Judge Quinn by Lawyer Jack
Politz alone.
Probe "Almost Mandatory"
Chief Judge Nathan Cayton of
the appeals court wound up his
critique of the stores transac-
ton with the couple in question
by accusing Regal of "falsifying, "
improperly frightening a lay
man with papers deliberately pre-
pared to look like court docu-
ments" and Fundamentally" re-
porting it had a court judgment
when none existed.
Acting Chief Judge Almond w.
Scott today refused to acknowi-
edge an investigation is under
way. He said, however, that the
court "just can't sit by and do
nothing"
Judge Scott pointed out fur
ther that. if for no other reason.

court decision makes an invest;-
cation almost mandatory on our
part"

Commissioners
Decide 10 Back
Bill
Add Proviso for
Another Look at
D. G. Share in Cost

The District Commissioners to.
day decided to support WASH
|ington hospital reconstruction
bill. paving the way for possible
final approval by Congress be-
fore adjournment this week.
The Commissioners decided to
approve the measure as amended
|by the Senate to facilitate its
passage.
But they took the action with
the understanding that they could
come back to Congress later and
ask reconsideration of an amend
ment calling for an increase in
the Districts payments toward
the reconstruction cost.
To See Mccormack.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee, when
notified of the Commissioners &C
ton. said he would withhold his
previous plan to ask for a confer
|ence between the House and Sem
ate over the amendment inserted
by the Senate in the House passed
bill.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he would
confer with House Majority
Leader Mccormack, author of the
hospital bill. over whether the
House should be asked to concur
in the Senate amendment.
The Commissioners during their
early study of the hospital bill
had indicated they would oppose
the Senate amendment because
it would cost the District govern
ment about $6 million more than
the bill as it passed the House.
They reversed this position.
however, after hearing spokesmen
for Providence Hospital and other
hospitals plead for approval of the
Senate amendment.
Bill Provides S13 Million.
John A. Reilly. chairman of the
ADVISORY board of Providence, and
Daniel ODonoghue, a member of
the Providence board, expressed
the opinion that if the Commits
sioners opposed the Senate amend
ment, the bill would fail to get
action at this session of Congress
and delay the proposed recon-
struction of Providence and other
hospitals.
The bill would authorize Federal
advances Of about S13 million for
the rebuilding of private non
profit hospitals here which have
not Joined in the Washington
Hospital Center program. Those
interested are Providence, Sib-
lley. Casualty and Homeopathic.
The Senate amendment would
raise from is to Is per cent the
share Of cost to be borne by the
District government. The hos
pitals would have to pay half
LOT the cost Of their own projects.
This would reduce the Federal
grant for these hospitals to rs
per cent Of the total cost.
