Success of New Orleans Plan
MAY Spur Trade Mart Here

Of the funds. however. was raised
through the issue Of bonds and
a loan. At present. the mart is
paying its way as a non-profit
venture entirely through the
rental Of exhibit and Office space.
The Washington Board of
Trades World Trade Committee,
led by Jennings Randolph, spon-
sored the idea Of q trade mart for
the District in 1949 after a survey
Of industrialists. transportation
and port officials in the East and
foreign traders.
There were numerous reasons
for, the decision. Among them
were that the increasing infiu-
ence Of government in world
trade requires. frequent visits to
Washington. Foreign commercial
agencies and embassies are To-
Gated there. Washington, no.
being in competition with East
Coast port cities, would get their
support, In addition, cultural
benefits would result from Wash.
ington'S large tourist volume.
Recently Revived.
Late in 1949. the board incor-
porated an International Trade
Mart Association. Definite plans
for its gradual development were
held up pending further inquiriec
to prospective participants.
The entire plan was showed
aside by outbreak Of the Korean
war in June. 1850. however. A
few months ago the board de-
cided to revive it. AS a first ac-
tion, the groups board of direc-
tors authorized that means be
sought for a new. more compre-
henSive study to be made. It
would include possible means of
financing, as well as feasibility
of the plan.
James L. Oliver, present chair
man Of the boards World Trade
Committee, stressed that the
board "does not want to get be-
hind something ther els no need
for" :.4E
But with controls going of
materials such as structural steel
now would be the time to reac-
tivate the, idea if it is worth
anything
I'D like to see it. It would be
a tremendous thing for the city,
not only to stimulate trade, but
as an educational venture" he
said.

Virginia Legislator
Calls Statehood for
Hawaii 'UnWise'
BY the Asseeiutsd Pres,

A Virginia Representative said
yesterday he believes 1t would
be a "well-advised" move to at
tack the constitutionality of an
act giving Hawaii statehood.
Representative Robson, DEM
ocrat, of Virginia, said he thinks
the House acted unwisely last
week in approving the Hawaiian
statehood bill. Similar legisla-
ton is pending before the Sem
ate and may be brought up for
debate this week.
Assuming the Senate goes
along with this enthusiastic wave
of goodwill toward all mankind"
MIR. Robson said in an inter-
view," I'VE are left only the
chance of attacking the legisla-
ton in the Supreme Court"
Meanwhile, in the Senate
where both Senators Byrd and
Robertson, Virginia Democrats,
oppose the proposal, Senator
Robertson sent fellow Senators a.
letter concerning the statehood
bill.
Senator Robertson urged his
colleagues to read the speech
made against the bill by Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia. in the House.
I'm that speech. Senator
Robertson wrote, Judge Smith
indicates the necessity for a fur
ther investigation of whether or
not Communists. who a few years
ago had a strangle hold on
Hawaiian shipping, can again
threaten the security of the
islands,"
He said Mr.. Smith also raised
these questions:
Whether or not it is wise to
grant statehood at this time to
100000 American citizens, four
f1fthS or more of whom are not
Of the Caucasian race;
Whether or not it is wise to
give one Hawaiian citizen as
much power in the Senate as 81
in New York or 221a in Penn
sylvania and what two States on
the mainland will be willing to
give up House members now
representing an average of $780,
600 citizens in order that Hawaii
may have two members each of
whom will represent 100000.

sentences. One of them was
sentenced to serve 81 to 68 years,
another to serve 81 to 35 years.
Each crime was recognized with
punishment.
Six weeks later, Ellis and Ellis
worth Tippett came up for sem
tence before Judge Jesse c. ADJ
kins. They had gone on a hold
up binge one night and robbed
six places. There were nine
charges, nine indictments and
nine convictions. Judge Adkins
sentenced them in each case,
making the sentences consecu-
tive. One got II to 26 years, the
other, 10 to Is years.
Police say that for a year after
those two sets of sentences, hold
up men steered clear of WASH
ington.

weapon. one petty larceny and
one auto theft.
The men were indicted on
three cases of armed robbery
Two of the three cases were
dropped.
In the third case, Holmes
pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to serve six to 20 years. At the
same time. he pleaded guilty to
a fourth case with another de-
fendant and was sentenced to
serve three to 10 years, con-
current with his other sentence.
AS for Murray and Nelson,
Murray was allowed to plead
guilty to unarmed robbery and
drew a two-to-six-year term. The
Government recommended dis
missal of the third case against
Nelson, too, although police said
he admitted driving the escape
I4car in several cases and his
SuBG.sS oUdCCAACAIo
duplicating him.
In another 1852 case, a pris-
oner who pleaded guilty to four
cases on which he was indicted
gave police the name of his conf
federate-the man who helped
dispose of the property he stole.
The 22-year-old confederate
pleaded not guilty to the two
cases on which he was indicted.
The charge against him were
dropped. Less than six months
after these dismissals, the man
was in again-thiS time charged
with grand larceny. He was al
lowed to plead guilty to petty lar
ceny and is now awaiting SEN
tence.
In June, 1852, the police safe
squad rounded up eight men
and charged them with 27 cases
of housebreaking, larceny and
auto theft. Police said $17,935.15
was involved in the thefts.
Number of Defendants Cut.
The prosecutor reduced the
number of defendants to six and
presented three cases, all with
multiple counts. Here's how it
worked out;
In the first case, Juan Wilker-.
son, James Parker, George Henry
Carter, Melvin Brown and Sam
lei Frazier were accused of house.
breaking, stealing $215 in cash
and property and two auto thefts.
Parker pleaded not guilty and
went to trial where he was con-
victed of housebreaking and
larceny and sentenced to four
to IL years in prison. The other
four pleaded guilty to the single
court OF housebreaking. Wilker-
son and Brown were sentenced to
three-to-10 year terms and Cart
er and Frazier to three-to-nine
year terms.
In the second case, Wilkerson,
Parker. Carter, Brown and Will
liam w. Perry were accused of
houSebreaking, stealing $4,000
worth of property and auto theft.
The case against Parker was
dropped. The other four pleaded
guilty to the single count of
housebreaking. Perry, the added
starter, got a three-to-10 year
sentence. The other three were
given the same sentences as
they had received in the first
case. to run concurrently.
In the third case, Wilkerson,
Perry and Frazier were accused
of housebreaking, stealing $500
in cash and property and auto
theft. The charges against Per-
ry and Frazier were dropped.
Wilkerson pleaded guilty and
drew the same sentence as he

major part Of the city program.
Begun after World War II it
covers a vast civic center con-
Struction proposal street and
bridge expansion, new public
housing and slum clearance and
marshland reclamation.
Parallel District Plans.
Many of the projects, includ-
ing the Zoning revision parallel
WaShington's improvement plans.
The District Commissioners have
asked Congress in the 1854 bud
get for money to revamp the
zoning regulations.
Possibility of forming a citi-
ZenS group in Washington to
work with the NCPC was noted
specifically by Congress in the
1852 act reorganizing the plan
ming group.
In a panel discussion today,
several speakers urged that citi-
zen participation begin at an
early stage Of planning so as
to help set priorities for city
development.
Federal Aid Limited.
In another address, a Housing
and Home Finance Agency Of
fetal warned cities embarking on
urban redevelopment programs
that limited Federal funds are
available to aid them.
Carl FeiSs. HHFA redevelop-
ing planning chief, pointed out
that 260 cities are engaged in
some form of redevelopment for
which only 81 million in Federal
loans and $500 million in grants
and aid is available.
so obviously these projects
can only be demonstration prof.
ects to show cities what can be
done to clear slums and blight"
he said. Since the Federal funds
are limited. he urged IAN Oper-
alton Bootstrap" to do the en-
tire job needed in most cities,
Evening star., 1953-03-15

had drawn in the other two
cases-all of them to run con-
currently.
These are by no means iso-
lated cases, the Star survey
showed. The vast difference be-
tween the number of cases the
police close by arresting one or
more defendants and the num-
ber Of cases reaching the grand
jury is obvious from these po-
lice and court statistics:
In 1851, when 8,795 felonies
were closed by arrests. 1880
were considered by grand juries
which returned 1.726 indict-
ments and ignored 254 cases.
In 1852. when 10,001 felonies
were closed by arrests, 2,267 were
considered by grand juries which
returned 1887 indictments and
ignored $50 cases.
Police statistics show that an
average of over two cases is
cleared UP by the arrest of each
prisoner. Men who assault,
rape and murder usually commit
only one crime before their ar
rest. Thus. the average num-
ber of cases committed by each
housebreaker, robber. safe burg
lar or auto thief is much higher
than the overall average.
Court records show that less
than a third of the cases on
which indictments are returned
have gone to trial in recent
years.
During the 1851 fiscal year,
when 1891 cases were disposed
of, 523 went to trial, 992 were
disposed of by guilty pleas and
376 were dismissed. In the 1852
fiscal year, when 1900 cases were
disposed of, 521 went to trial,
996 were disposed of by pleas
of guilty and 283 were dis
missed. Court statisticians ex-
planned that in this set of statis-
tics the case counts as a trial if
one defendent is tried, and guilty
pleas or diSmiSSals against other
defendants in the same case are
not counted. These statistics
also do not take into considera-
ton the dismissal of two counts
of a three-count indictment.
In contrast with the pattern
of today are the actions of two
judges and a prosecutor in 1898.

Daniel w. ODonoghue then pro-
