Ice Cream Truck Driver
Freed in Death Of Bow

A Good Humor ice cream COM
pany driver was cleared of man
slaughter and reckless driving
charges last night in the death of
q 3-year-old Riyerdale boy on
July z. z.
The driver. John L. Skotz, As,
Of 6801 Greenvale parkway, De-
fense Heights, Md, was acquitted
by Judge Theodore Miazga in
Hyattsville Police Court.
He was charged after the death
of David L. White, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard White, 1900 Ritten-
house street, Riverdale.
Judge MiaZga said he failed to
find sufficient evidence that it was
Mr.. Skotz's truck which had struck
David. Even if it had been, the
judge added. Mr.. Skotz was not
guilty of any gross negligence.
About 80 residents of the area
appeared in court in support of
Mr.. SkotZ but were not called to
testify. The parents of the boy
also we're present.
Police testified that Mr.. Skotz
had just finished selling popsicles
to a group of children. including
David. and had started again on
his rounds. A few seconds later,
the scream of a passerby caused
Mr.. Skotz to look back. The boy
was lying in the street.

Price Officials Expected
To Deny Sheffield Raise
~ the Assoeioted Press

Federal officials yesterday threw
cold water on request by Shef-
field Steel Co. of Kansas City
for price increases ranging from
81 to $13 a ton on its steel
products.
Officials said the request would
probably be rejected.
Sheffield Steel, a subsidiary of
American Rolling Mills Co., filed
its bid for price increase just
three days after Price Director
Ellis Arnal ruled that $284 a
ton is the limit the steel industry
can expect to get in the way of
higher prices under the Cape
hart amendment.
The amendment, sponsored by
Senator Capehart, Republican, of
Indiana, permits manufacturers
to raise their prices to cover in
creased costs over a period be-
tween the outbreak of the Korean
War in mid-June. 1850, and July
I26, 1851.
Mr.. Arnall made his ruling Fri
day in rejecting a request by
Weirton Steel for a price boost
of $3.50 a ton.

$1,000 Puerto Ricans
Sign Appeal Urging
Mercy for CoIIazo

A 3.000-signature appeal to save
oscar Collazo from the electric
chair has been in the hands of the
Justice Department for weeks but
no action is planned on it, a JUS
tice spokesman said today.
Collazo faces execution August
l for his part in the Staying of a
White House policeman during an
attempt to assassinate President
Truman November /. 1850.
The appeal-for clemency was
signed by Puerto Ricans giving
New York and Puerto Rico ad-
dresses. Although the Justice De-
partment said it had come from
the White House June 8, White
House sources said they did not
recall seeing it.
Not Official Petition.
1t was not classed as a petition.
a Justice spokesman explained,
because it did not bear Collazo's
signature or enclose his record.
The Justice Department said
the appeal called Collazo a "po-
litical prisoner" and declared it
would be a great gesture on Presi-
dent Truman's part if he tenn
Ipered justice with mercy.
"There is no petition pending
in the Office of the pardon attor-
iney," said the department official.
1--WE don't do anything about an
appeal"
A White House source said the
subject of clemency for Collazo
had not been discussed there.
Halts Clemency Effort.
Collazo himself asked his court
appointed attorney. Leo A. Rover.
to take no further steps to save
him from the electric chair. MIR.
Rover quoted him to that effect
June 6. four days after the Su-
preme Court refused to review the
case.
Subsequently, Mr.. Rover said
he would not file a petition for
executive clemency because his
client did not want it.

ing ahead with plans for the Col

about $4,000 year. His outright
to even small in
crease in the pension of retired
Federal workers has also ir-
some legislators, par
ticularly in view of the dis
closures of the past few weeks.
That NPA hiring fiasco certain
ly has hurt chances of any legisla-
ton to decentralize hiring author
ity away from the Civil Service
Commission to the various depart
ments and agencies. Oppo-
nents of such move are now grim
ming II told you So" Their
argument is that NPA provides
perfect example of what an
agency will do if you gve it free
reign in hiring. They contend
that civil service merit principles
would go out the window if the
commission relaxed its authority
over examining and placement
functions.
Wonder if the Democrats and
Republicans realize the potential
vote that Federal employees have.
|. The 25 million Federal work.
ers and their families comprise
about rs million voters. OF
course. Federal workers don't vote
as bloc, any more than any other
group of Americans do. But
they are conscious of the issues
affecting them and, as individuals,
will vote accordingly. &. 1t would
not be surprising to see both the
Democrats and Republicans make
Ia special play for Federal employe
votes during the forthcoming cam
Ipaign. There are some Re-
Ipublicans who contend the election
was lost four years ago because
Gov. Dewey refused the advice of
some of his aides to present COM
Iprehensive and constructive pro-
gram for Federal workers.
These Republicans point out that
la swing of 500, 900 votes could have
won the election for their party
four years ago and some additional
Federal worker votes could have
done the trick.

It will be interesting to see
what the various Government en-
ploye union conventions this yeal
do about the question of another
Federal pay raise next year.
Thus far none of the groups ha:
come out directly for a Govern
ment pay bost, preferring to take
a wait-and-See attitude. i
the steeel workers wind up with
a sizable pay boost and other in.
dustriai workers also get wagl
boosts as a result Of a steel set
tlement, Federal employe unions
might ask for Government pa,
increase. Another factor j
the cost-of living situation.
If it stays as it is, it will not hell
Federal employe pay chances
even though they never hav'
caught up with the cost of living
If it goes up, of course, that
will be another story. AS
matter of fact, most Federal en-
ploye groups are hoping that liv'
ing costs go down so that another
pay raise drive will not be neces'
sary.

Wonder how much prestige
Chairman Robert Ramspeck of
the Civil Service Commission has
lost as result of the disclosure
that he was paid $4,000 by the
Air Transport Association to make
up the loss of salary he would
have suffered by becoming COM
mission chairman. There's no
doubt as to the legality of the
transaction. But some Federal
officials, as we'll as some former
colleagues of Mr.. RamSpeck in
Congress, wonder at the way the
transaction was handled, par
ticularly in view of the fact that
the widespread impression was
that Mr.. Ramspeck was making a
financial sacrifice in taking the
job. The commission chief did
nothing to dispel this impression,
even though it was commented
on favorably on a number of oc-
casions both in the press and by
members of Congress. That
Mr.. Ramspeck is an honest and
extremely capable public servant
none can deny But it was a
blunder not to bring the ATA
transaction out into the open
when it happened. Now it's
reached the point where some
members of the House and Sen
ate Civil Service Committee are
rather disgruntled over the situa-
ton, even pointing out that
instead of making a financial
sacrifice, Mr.. Ramspeck actually
became eligible for a civil Serv-
ice pension lDOn retirement Of
