Windsor Is Queens Guest
On Wedding Anniversary
ey the Associated Press

LONDON. Nov. 20.-Queen
Elizabeth II and her husband, the
Duke of Edinburgh, entertained
the Duke of Windsor at Bucking-
ham Palace today at a family
luncheon in quiet observance OF
the Queens fifth wedding ami
versary.
The Duke of Windsor is visiting
his mother, Queen Mary, at Marl-
borough House. He drove the
short distance to Buckingham
Palace, where a crowd of about
100 waited for him at the gate.
Entertainment of the Duke al
Buckingham on a day of unusual
sentimental significance to the
royal family gave additional sub
stance to reports that strains re.
sulting from his abdication of the
British throne in 1886 have been
forgotten and forgiven. There
was a growing feeling in court
circles that he and the American
born Duchess of Windsor will at.
tend the coronation of the Queen
next June.

MacPhail said before the deci-
sion to run at Bowie was made
that he would agree to shift the
meeting to Pimlico if his track
was ruled out by the jockeys. Mac
Phail had said earlier this week he
would not go along with a shift
to Pimlico.
Roads Another Problem.
Another problem to be dealt
with by Bowie officials now that
racing is again scheduled at their
track is the parking lots and
roads leading into the plant. To-
day they were very muddy and
MacPhail. anticipating racing to-
morrow, had issued a release urg-
ing patrons to use the special
trains and buses. He pointed out
the roads and lots would be pass
able but the mud would incon-
venience the crowds.
Whether this situation will still
be a problem Saturday depends
on the weather. but Bowie officials
were planning to start work on the
parking lots as soon as possible.
Small said earlier this week that
if racing could be resumed at
Bowie he felt the commission
would cooperate by extending the
meet. He also mentioned the pos
sibility of adding an extra race to
the daily card. The commission
was expected to act on these
measures soon.

Boycott Of Price List
BY Car Dealers Ruled
Sherman Act Violation

Action of an auto dealers asso-
citation in boycotting a price list
book is a violation Of the Sherman
Antitrust Act. the U. S. Court OF
Appeals for the District of Colum-
bia held today.
The opinion reversed lower
court ruling in a $450.000 damage
action against the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association and
the National Automobile Dealers
Used Car Guide Co. of Washing
ton. Plaintiff in the case, repre-
sented by Attorney Bernard I,
Nordlinger, was the National Used
Car Market Report. Inc, of
Chicago.
The Market Report Corp. pub
fishes used car Blue Book
which lists used car prices. The
auto dealers association, it was
alleged. publishes guide book in
competition with the other price
list volume.
According to the complaint,
10000 of the $4,000 new car deal
ers in the country are members
of the auto dealers association.
The plaintiff charged that an
agreement existed between the
association and their members to
boycott the competitive Blue
Book.
The lower court. in dismissing
the COMPLAINT of the Blue Book
publishers, held that there was
no showing that the public inter-
est was prejudiced by the associa-
tion's action, as required under
Sherman Act prosecution.
But the Appellate Court de-
clared: I'VE think it might be de-
termined AS a matter of law that
the broad trade boycott here al
legged is reasonably calculated to
prejudice the public interest
However that may be. we think it
is not necessary to make specific
allegations or proof of public in
jury in order to show that a trade
boycott Of such breadth violates
the Sherman Act"

"Once consumer goods start
rising" Mr.. Woods added, wages
will not lag far behind"
The members of the joint COM
mittee seemed divided on whether
controls should be extended.
Senator Capehart said he is
certain the new Republican Con-
gress will approve some kind of
price. wage and rent control
whether or not President-elect
Eisenhower favors them. He said
he was certain the Senate Bank
ing Committee would pass some
sort of standby controls in the
next session regardless of what it
decides to do about present curbs.
Favors Standby Controls.
"We can't afford to be without
standby controls as long as the
Korean war is on" Senator Cape
hart said. II think it might be a
good idea to have them in any
case"
Earlier, Senator Maybank, DEM
ocrat, of California. present chair
man of the Banking Committee,
told news conference he expects
a resolution will be introduced in
the new Congress to allow wage
and price controls to expire before
the April 80 deadline.
Meanwhile, the National Associ-
alton of Food Chains and the Ma
tional Association Of Retail Gro
GERS attacked the proposed rollback
in beef prices as irresponsible and
misleading" In a Joint statement
they contended there is no legal or
economic justification for a roll
back and said their normal mar
gins "are still being squeezed in

prices"

Policemen, Woman
Convicted by Jury
In Cigarette Theft

A jury late yesterday found two
suspended 12th precinct policemen
guilty OF receiving stolen cigarettes.
At the same time. the jury found
q woman defendant guilty Of
receiving stolen property. but
acquitted her Of a charge of steal
ing it.
The three are Police Pvts. Rich
ard c. McCargar and Louis L.
Lawson and Mrs. Geraldine l..
Newman. SO.
In answer to a question by Judge
Burnita Shelton Matthews, the
Jury foreman announced the panel
had found each guilty Of receiving
stolen property in excess of $35 in
value. ....
Recommends Leniency.
The jury did not go into further
detail except to recommend leni-
ency. The panel has deliberated
for about three hours in the U. s.
District Court for the District OF
Columbia.
The maximum penalty for re-
ceiving stolen property where the
value Of the property taken is more
than $35 is from 40 months to l0I
years Imprisonment. The law also
provides a minimum penalty OF one
year. Judge Matthews permitted
the defendants to remain at liberty
under bond. pending sentence. No
date was set.
The two policemen were tried
on counts accusing each of re-
ceiving 80 cartons of stolen ciga-
rettes.
Mrs. Newman was tried on
three counts, in two of which she
was accused jointly with "a third
policeman, Pvt. Doctor M. Green,
also of No. IL.
One Count Thrown Out.
One of the counts against Mrs.
Newman, which accused her of
breaking into the Food Fair Mar
ket. in the 1900 block Of Mich
1gan avenue NE, was thrown out
by Judge Mathews. The case in
volving Mrs. Newman then went
to the jury on the remaining
two counts.
One of these accused her of
stealing the cigarettes. $1,170 in
cash and two hams from the
Food Fair. The other accused her
of receiving the loot from the
Food Fair.
Judge Matthews instructed the
jury it could find Mrs. Newman
guilty on only one of the counts,
since she could not be guilty both
receiving the property and of TAX
ing 1t.
Pvt. Green, with whom Mrs.
Newman was charged jointly with
breaking into the Food Fair and
stealing the property. pleaded
guilty in September to looting the
market, which he said he found
open. Green was sentenced last
Friday to serve from to 8 years.
At the same time, Green was
given concurrent sentences for
two other housebreakings and lar
cenies for which he alone was
charged and to which he also
had pleaded guilty.
Testified For Government.
Green was a star Government
witness in the Food Fair case in
his testimony against the two po-
licemen. He indicated, however,
that Mrs, Newman had nothing to
do with the job.
The prosecution, through As.
sistant United States Attorney
William S. Mckinley, sought to-
show that Mrs. Newman, a friend
of Pvt. Green. had driven the lat
ter's car to a spot near the Food
Fair on the night of the looting
last May. Green, however. testi-
fled he already had the car there.
