Settling Long Dispute

To Be Put on Sale for
$14 Million Minimum
By the Associated Press

The Government and the R.
Stanley Dollar interests today set
tied their f1ve-year court fight
over control of the big Dollar
Steamship Line.
Terms OF the settlement pro-
vide:
/. The controlling stock interest
in the line claimed by both will
be put up at public sale at any
price above $14 million cash.
2. The winner on sealed bids
will get the 90 per cent block of
stock and the Government and
the Dollar interest will divide the
proceeds.
3. If the public sale fails to
bring a bid of $14 million or more.
the stock will be divided equally
between the Government and the
Dollar interest.
U. S. to Get Rid of Line.
In any event, Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer said, the Govern
ment intends to get out of the line
and return it to private operation.
The 80 per cent controlling in
terest is valued at 500 million.4
Its ownership has been in dis
pute. due to circumstances of a
Government loan of $4.5 million.
The Government contended, and
Dollar denied, that the stock back
Of the loan had been surrendered
to it.
Mr.. Sawyer said at a news con-
ference that even if the sale fails
to bring the minimum price re-
he feels the Government
should continue efforts to sell
its half of the block of stock, so
that it can turn the line over
to private ownership.
Dollar Interests May Bid.
The settlement agreement pro-
vided that the Dollar interests
may bid for the stock by them
selves or join others in doing so.
r. Stanley Dollar, San Fran
cisco shipping magnate, said after
signing the agreement that I'VE
want to bid on it" and that if
the public sale fell through his
group would like to buy the Gov
ernment's half Of the stock.

extension of its shoot-to-kill Sc
curity measures to include the
border around Berlin as well as

on the interzonal frontier to
hinder the entrance of diversion
lists, spies and terrorists in the
territory Of the German Demo-

their own homes than in the
United Nations"
Turning on the COMMUNISTS,
Mr.. Nehru told the Red bloc in
Parliament continual shouting of
peace has become so discordant
and so loud that sometimes it
sounds more like war"
He urged the Communists to
Ire-examine their ideas of i'm
perialism.
Advising his neighbors, Mr..
Nehru said. Il should like the
countries of Asia to remain cool
and not enter the arena of war
fare, whatever happens" That,
he said, was India's goal-to re-
main outside any war and restrict
the area of warfare should new
conflict break out.
He urged India and other coun-
tries to declare themselves against
the use Of terrible weapons of
wal" Such as atomic and hydrogen
bombs and germ warfare.
AS to germ warfare, he cautioned
the members of Parliament mot
to accept claims and charges on
one side or the other until they
are fully proven"
The Prime Minister said India
was deeply concerned" by de-
VelOpmentS in South Korea.
1--WE are concerned with the
activities of President Syngman
Rhee. His actions are not only
very remarkable, but should make
the U. N. and every country con-
nected with it feel it is undesir-
able to associate with persons like
Rhee who are functioning that
way. Any support for persons
operating like Rhee is just the
reverse of what the u. N. stands
for"

Gov. McKeldin, of Maryland.
today confirmed reports there was
a move underway to throw the
delegates from Maryland, Michi-
gan and Pennsylvania behind one
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination.
He would not say who had ap-
preached him with the plan for
the so-called harmony bloc. And
apparently still to be decided is
whether Senator Taft or Gen.
Eisenhower will get the bloc.
Gov. McKeldin further said that
he was going to a conference to
settle the matter. He would not
say where or when.
There certainly is nothing
wrong in this and I was not sur
prised when was approached re-
Gently about the possibility of a
meeting aimed at forming a bloc
OF uncommitted delegates from
Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Maryland" he said.
Could Be Determining Factor.
These three pivotal States, If
they decide to operate as a bloc.
stand a good chance of being the
determining factor in who gets
the Republican nomination.
The three States control a total
of 140 votes.
Gov. Fine. of Pennsylvania, last
night denied reports he had sug-
gested the coalition. He apparently
is in a position to determine how
more than 80 of his States 70
votes will be cast.
The man who control the cards
in Michigan is Arthur Summer
field, national committeeman. His
State has IS votes at the con-
Ivention. Maryland has "a conven-
tion votes.
McKeldin's Statement.
Concerning the coalition move,
NV. MN1AC4O1I1 Sd1Q.
"As chairman of the MARYLAND
delegation, I told the man who
approached me that I would be
glad to talk with representatives
of the Pennsylvania and Michigan
delegations to obtain the proposal,
which I would then take up with
those in the Maryland delegation
who are free to enter into a coali-
tion."
The names of Governor Fine
and Mr.. Summerfield were men,
toned to me as those with whom
1 would talk if such a conference
were held" he continued, adding:
I saw a possibility in such a
meeting OF bringing the conven-
ton to an orderly conclusion,
avoiding the possible bitterness of
a long-drawn-out seige of ballot
ing. with the early nomination of
either Gen. Eisenhower or Senator
Taft"
Gov. McKeldin continued:
In New York yesterday I
learned that some of the newspa-
permen already had information
or had heard reports that such a
meeting was in prospect. One Of
them asked me if I had been ap-
preached. I told him of course
that I had and that would at

Asking Annuity Roise
Endorsed by n Groups

Twenty-one Government EN-.
ploye unions today issued a joint
statement urging Congress to ap.
prove Civil Service Retirement
increases.
In an effort to save time in the
hearings before the House Civil
Service Committee, the employt
groups agreed to present a joint
statement to the committee. II
was the first time in the memory
of Capitol Hill observers that Fed
|eral employe unions had banded
together on any one Legislative
issue.
Included in the 81 groups were
those affiliated with the AFL
CIO. and Independents.
Keating Is Spokesman.
Jerome J. Heating, secretary o1
the AFL National Association o1
Letter Carriers, was the unior
spokesman. He was assisted BY
Marcelaus c. Shield, an official oi
the National Association of Re-
tired Civil Employees.
Mr.. Keating told the commit
tee that retired Federal employees
have been crushed by the in
creased cost of living. Something
should be done and done
promptly"
The union official attacked the
Civil Service Commissions con-
tention that the civil service re-
tirement system is actuarially un.
sound.
Other Systems Cited.
Congress never intended that
the retirement system should be
on a fully-funded basis, Mr.. Keat-
ing declared. He pointed out that
the railroad retirement system
and the Social Security system
have much greater unfunded liza
bilities than Civil Service retire
ment.
Mr.. Heating said the Civil Serv.
ice retirement system was ir
excellent shape. He pointed out
that in its 80 year existence the
employees contributions alway.
have been sufficient to cover al
benefits. The interest earned by
the fund and the contributions o.
the Government have never beer
used, Mr.. Keating declared.
The witness told the COMMITTEES
that these is a rising trend ir
private industry to increase the
pensions of employees. He said thai
only recently the Gillette Safety
Razor Co. announced it was con-
sidering 28 per cent increase ir

NEW DELHI, India, June 12.-
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
took pot shots today at the United
Nations, the Atlantic pact and
the Communists as he defended
before Parliament his policy OF
neutrality.
Mr.. Nehru said India's policy OF
avoiding alliances had proved cor
rect, and 1--WE will continue it..
Parliament backed him up by
approving Foreign Ministry ex-
Ipenditures of Sc million rupees
($12 million). A Communist led
motion for cuts was defeated,
E296-72.
Mr.. Nehru told the House India
lis seriously concerned that the
Atlantic pact. which began as a

He suggested that Asian and
African nations might find it nec-
essary to make the tragic deci-

He said the U. NJ, also, has be-
come the protector of colonial

to preserve peace "has become an
organization for waging war;"
I'VE have taken a serious view

He said that for the govern

DR.. Ryee said it panied him "for

the spokesman said, Voice of

DR.. Ryee said the use of the

Ethics Code Drafted
By Murray in Bid 10
Keep Police Straight
Two More on Force
Accused of Misdeeds:
Unhappy Ero' Cited

The Police Departmental trying
to recover from an unhappy era
will have a code of ethics as a
guide.
The proposed code was sub
mitted to Commissioner F. Joseph
IDonohue today by Police Supt.
Robert v. Murray during a 20
minute meeting between the two.
The Commissioner approved the
code. 1t will be distributed soon
to all police. Nature of the code
was not made public for. the
present.
After the meeting at the Dis
trict Building, Maj. Murray would
say only that he had discussed
matters in No. 9 precinct"
Presentation of the code was dis
closed by Commissioner Donohue.
The meeting followed closely the
Involvement of three more police
men in accusations of misdeeds.
The three are from No. 8 precinct.
Two were accused today in a COM
Iplaint in which a colored woman
charged they assaulted her. An
other was charged yesterday with
IhouSebreaking.
Precinct Chief Transferred.
But there was nothing to indi-
cate what line the talk of mat
ters in No. 9" took. It was from
this precinct that Capt. William
T. Murphy was transferred to
duty. He was re-
placed by Lewis Peters as acting
captain.
A report on a police ordered in
vestigation of Senate Crime Com
mittee testimony about Capt.
Murphy is on Mr.. Donohue's desk,
but the Commissioner said he has
not yet had time to study it. Two
police testified during the crime
hearing that they were transferred
to school-crossing duty because
they made gambling arrests.
Mr.. Donohue said the code of
ethics will be apart from police
regulations. He said that if any
policeman couldn't conform to
the standards set up he'd better
quit"
Some Cases Regrettable.
"It is regrettable that some
II police have had the finger of
accusation pointed at them, but
it would be more regrettable If
the public condemned all 1000
members of the force because of
that" he added.
Mr.. Donohue said that hon.
esty couldn't be bought, but he
believed that pay increase would
do much to improve the integrity
of the department.
"The department is trying to
recover from an unhappy era," he
said, referring to former Police
Chief Robert j. Barrett's appear
ance before the Crime Commit
tee. The former chief refused
to answer questions about his f.
nances, which the committee said
involved $17.400 spent above
acknowledged income during a
33-mOnth period,
Refuse to Discuss Charges.
Top police officials refused to
discuss the nature of the charges
against the two No. 9 precinct
police repeatedly accused of as
Sault.
Inspector Howard v. Covell, ex-
ecutive officer at police headquar-
ters, said Inspector Lloyd E. Kelly
had been assigned to investigate
the accusation. But the inspector
refused to disclose the names of
the police involved. the age of the
woman, or any other details.
The woman has been admitted
to Freedmen's Hospital.
The new case came after Pvt
Lonzo w. Bragg of No.
precinct was freed under $500
bond awaiting hearing June &c

nan of West Virginia, Taft cam
paign manager, selected by the
convention Arrangements Com
mittee to be temporary chairman
of the convention.
A second proposal was to wait
until report from the Credentials
Committee on the contested Texas
delegation, provided the commit
tee decided against Gen. Eisen-
hover and for Senator Taft in
that contest.
A third proposal was to appeal
any decision by the Taft-selected
temporary chairman which would
permit delegates under contest to
vote.
May Oppose Hallanan.
The sharpest and quickest chal-
lenge which could be made
barring any objection to the Taft
selected keynote speaker, Gen.
Macarthur, would be to attack
the election of Mr.. Hallanan as
temporary chairman. There
seemed to be no present intention
of opposing at the convention the
selection of Gen. Macarthur to
make the keynote speech.
If Mr.. Hallanan is to be opposed
for temporary chairman, the
Eisenhower forces must pick a
candidate to run against him.
Presumably the second candidate
would either be a neutral in the
Taft-Eisenhower contest or an
out-and-out Eisenhower supporter.
On two historic occasions in
the past presidential nominations
have turned on the election of a
temporary chairman. The first
was in the Republican Convention
OF 1912, when William Howard
Taft, father of the present Sen
ator and candidate for renomina-
ton, was pitted against Theodore
Roosevelt. The Taft forces which
were in control of the Republican
National Committee and the ma
tional convention machinery, were
able to elect Elihu Root of New
York, a Staunch Taft supporter,
for temporary chairman over the
Roosevelt candidate, Gov. Nc
Govern of Wisconsin.
That initial victory gave the
nomination to President Taft.
Ultimately the Roosevelt forces
walked out of the Republican con-
vention and nominated Theodore
Roosevelt as the Bull Moose can
didate for president. AS a re-
suit Woodrow Wilson, a Demo-
crat, was elected President in No
vember.
Fight at 1892 Convention.
The second occasion in which
the election of a temporary chair
man was of great Importance was
the Democratic Convention of
1882. The Alfred E. Smith, anti
Franklin D. Roosevelt forces in
the convention put forward Jouett
Shouse as their candidate. The
Roosevelt forces opposed him with
Senator Tom Walsh of Montana.
Senator Walsh was elected and
presided over the turbulent con-
vention, which finally nominated
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The tactics of the Eisenhower
forces from now until July 7,
when the convention opens, will
be to spread aboard the idea that
a Taft steamroller is out to steal
the nomination, if it has to, for
the Ohio Senator. They will bear
down hard on the arbitrary &C
ton of the Taft supporters in
picking their convention officials
who, with one exception, are COM
mitted in advance to Senator
Taft. Also they will give the
widest publicity to their charges
that the Republican organization
in Texas and Louisiana, controlled
by Taft supporters, stole those
states delegates to the conven-
ton.

Lose Plea Against
D. {. Primary Rules
Bustiun Denies Request
To Enjoin Leaders
Of Central Committee

Judge Walter M. Bastian today
refused in District Court to inter-
vene in the party squabble be-
tween two factions of Washington
Democrats.
He denied a plea for an in
junction which would require the
State Central Committee to alter
its course for the primary to be
held Tuesday. A faction led by
Attorney William A. Roberts in
dicated it may carry the fight to
the Court of Appeals.
Judge Bastian said the courts
should not supervise political elec-
tion procedures. He said he saw
nothing wrong with the Central
Committees rules for the primary
which were attacked by Mr..
Roberts.
Urges Voting Laws.
Judge Bastian said the intra-
party controversy demonstrated
conclusively the drastic need for
both primary and election laws in
the District" He declared that
every effort should be made to get
Congress to enact appropriate leg
lslation. A bill covering the sub
Ject is pending in the Senate.
BY his ruling, the judge ac-
cepted arguments presented by
Gerhard P. Van Arkel, secretary
OF the State Central Committee:
Jerry SCOUT, Leslie c. Garnett
and Wallace M. Cohen, repre-
senting various defendants.
The complaining Democrats are
supporting Senator Kefauver for
the presidential nomination. The
Central Committees slate of can
didateS for the national conven-
tion and for the new local COM
mittee contains supporters of both
Senator Kefauver and w. Averell
Hartman.
Qualification CHALLENGED.
Mr.. Roberts raised the question
of whether A. L. Wheeler is quail
fled to be chairman of the Demo-
cratic Party here. He said Mr..
Wheeler is a legal resident of
Georgia. The chairman told re-
porters that this is true, but that
he also is resident of the District
and is qualified to hold the COM
mittee post.
Eight persons supporting Sen
ator kefauver for President yes
terday asked Judge Bastian to step
into the political fight and force
controlling. organization leaders to
change their course. He refused
to issue a temporary injunction.
The group complained about
sample ballots now being dis
tributed, about the selection of
primary poll watchers and various
rules that will govern the ballot
ing.
Delegate Primary.
The primary was called to elect
Democratic delegates to the Ma
tlonal Convention, the new Gen.
tral Committee and Washington's
representatives to the Democratic
National Committee, and to de-
termine the city's preference be-
tween presidential candidates.
Only Senator Kefauver and w.
Averell Hartman, the Mutual
Security Administrator, are con-
testing for the District convention
delegates.
The Roberts group complained
In their suit that sample bal
