Farm Department
Revamping Sought
BY the Assoeiased Press

Reorganizing the huge De-
partment of Agriculture is the
main concern of President-elect
Eisenhower's Farm Policy Com
mission.
That report on the commits
sion's closed session was given
newsmen yesterday by Ezra Taft
Benson, Secretary of Agriculture
designate.
He and Commission Chairman
w. I. Myers of Cornell Univer-
sity said there had been no in
tention Of keeping the meeting
secret. Commission sources and
officials Of the University of
Maryland. where it is meeting,
had withheld information about
1t. But Mr.. Benson and Mr.. My
ers said that was simply because
no individual felt free to talk.
Mr.. Benson said the prime agri-
cultural problem o. the Eisen-
hover administration was reor-
ganizing the department, and
many suggestions had come in
from various sources. The COM
mission expects to submit rec
concentrations after ending its
session tomorrow, he added.

NEWARK, N. j.. Jan. T.
Mayor John v. Kenny Of Jersey
City appeared before the New
Jersey Law Enforcement Council
yesterday and gave calm, quiet
testimony which largely paral-
leled that which he gave a sim
liar racket-probing group in New
York.
Mayor Kenny. under question
ing by Council Attorney Richard
Congleton. said he had fired his
secretary. George Creegan, in
1851 when he heard reports that
Creegan and waterfront rack
eteer Anthony (Tony Bender)

gambling business in Jersey city.

other publications, and forced
carriers to pay for more rapers
than there were subscribers on
their routes.
The last two allegations in the
bill of complaint concern the
Kansas City journal, which went
out of business in 1912. leaving
the Star alone in the Kansas
City field.
Home Delivery Rates.
The indictment charges that
the Star charged arbitrarily low
home delivery rates until the
Journal folded and thereafter
raised them.
The effect of the alleged prac-
tices, the grand jury said, was
as follows:
ITO exclude all others from
engaging in the publication of
daily newspapers in Kansas City,
Mo.
ITO deprive advertisers using
advertising media other than
those controlled by defendants
of the opportunity to advertise
in defendants newspapers.
ITO deprive advertisers in de-
PENDANTS publications of the op-
portunity freely to select other
media in or through which to
advertise.
ITO compel advertisers to pay
for advertising which they do
not want.
ITO compel subscribers to pur-
chase newspapers which they do
not want.
ITO deprive competing pub
fishers of the use of defendants

invited supporters Of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle into the gov
ernment. The De Gaullists swung
"a of their IS National Assembly
votes behind Mr.. Mayer last
night to clinch his confirmation
as Premier.
Mr.. Mayer, a leader of the
Radical Socialist conservative
Party. won Assembly approval by
a S89-205 vote. In addition to
the De Gaullists, he was sup
ported by the center parties that
have participated in every
French government coalition
since World War II.
Ends 16-Day Crisis.
His confirmation ended a 16-
day government crisis that fol-
lowed the resignation of Premier
Antoine Pinay. But the new
Premier still must piece together
a coalition cabinet that can win
Assembly approval. No one par
ty has enough parliamentary
strength to govern alone.
Political observers speculated
that the backing of De Gaulle's
right-wing Rally of the French
People (RPF) would mean gov
ernment further to the right
than any France has seen since
the founding of the Fourth Re-
public at the close Of the war.
The votes marked the first
time the RPF has abandoned its
opposition role in the Assembly
and joined in approving a new
government. The move consid-
erably strengthened the RPF's
position.
Socialists Opposed.
Parties opposing Mr.. Mayer in
cluded the Socialists with los
seats in the Assembly, the Com
munists with 81 and the fellow
travelling Progressives with four.
The RPF made its vote for Mr..
Mayer conditional upon his as
surance that the pending West
European Army treaty would not
be ratified until modified to
safeguard the unity Of the
French Army and the integrity
of the French Union" Many
Frenchmen are extremely wary
Of joining the proposed single
uniform six-nation European
army. which would include West
German troops.
The new Premier declared that
the legitimate preoccupations Of
the de Gaullists would be rec
ognized when the treaty text is
studied by committees of Depu-
ties and experts before ratifica-
ton.
Mr.. Mayer, known as a finan-
cial expert, was a leader of the
French government in exile and
has held q variety Of posts in
various postwar cabinets.

the Star, which is an afternoon
newspaper.
A Federal Judge in New
Orleans held that the Times
Picayune violated the Anti
Trust Act in its advertising sales
policy.
Before Supreme Court.
The ruling Of this Judge is
now before the Supreme Court
for review.
The Supreme Court decision
in the New Orleans case will
have a direct bearing on the
Kansas City case.
The substance of the lengthy
indictment against the Star was
summarized in a statement by
Newell A. Clapp. in charge Of
the Anti Trust Division. He said:
According to the charges of
the grand jury in this case, the
defendants have for years en-
gagged in predatory and coercive
practices which have resulted in
the elimination of all daily news
papers of general circulation ex-
cept the defendants in Kansas
City, Mo-"
Answer to Argument.
The answer to this is con-
tanned in one part of the state
ment issued by President Rob-
erts of the Star. who says:
THE basic theory underlying
the indictment and the civil COM
plant of the Government is that
the Star has attempted to create
a monopoly in this territory.
Anybody with the slightest
knowledge of business knows
that the greatest factor in force
ing consultations and the in
voluntary discontinuance of
newspapers. which is all very
regrettable, is the Government
itself. g
"The tax burden has become
so terrific only the strongest
papers can stand up under it.
Newspapers have had to in
crease both subscription and ad-
vertising rates in a mad race
to keep up with costs.
"AS rates go, advertisers neccs-
sarlly concentrate their spending
in the papers that do the best
job for them. All the antitrust
suits in the world will not stop
this trend unless the Govern
ment itself can get taxes down.
"Of course, no purported
charges of coercion can or will be
sustained. They are contrary
to the facts and policies of the
Star"
IL Points Raised.
The indictment against the
Star alleges II separate practices
as violations of the Antitrust
Act. Twelve of these grand jury
allegations refer to advertising
sales practices.
Seven of these IL allegations
recite practices of coercion and
discrimination against advertis-
ers who took space in other
media besides the Star.
Three other allegations declare
that the Star forced advertisers
to take space in the Times, its
morning edition.
Two further allegations said
the Star induced advertisers to
use the Star radio and television
stations by offering reduced rates
for newspaper space if they did.
Three allegations cover the re-
lationship between the Star and
its carriers.
These parts of the indictment
charge that the Star required its
dealers to refrain from handling

Negro Tourists
Flock Tomiami

MIAMI - Negro tourists. are
finding this winter vacation spot
more and more to their liking, is
the opinion of Thomas Collier,
manager of the newly opened Mi
ami Carver hotel.
Once considered taboo because
of the lack of decent housing ac-
commodations and the restrictions
placed on where one could go TO
amuse himself publicly, Collier
said that recent events have
changed this pattern considerably.
The lessening of tensions between
the races, the acceptance of Ne
groes in many Miami Beach mite
clubs and shopping centers ana
the building of new hotels is def
initely responsible for the in
creased influx of sepia visitors, he
added.
whenever anyone wants to 90
over to the Beach to see one of
the niteclub shows all he has to
do is make reservations and doesn't
have to suffer fear of being turned
away at the door," Collier stated.
THE Beachcomber, Ciro's, Mar
tina Raye's Five O'Clock Club and
other top cafes gladly accept Ne
gro patronage. This fact even in
duced Morris Levy, owner of New
qork's Birdland jazz spot to open
similar type of club here and he
told several people that he would
not have done so unless Negroes
could be welcomed to his club here,
IN the same manner as they are in
New York"
At one time the Mary Elizabeth
hotel was the largest hotel cater
ing to Negro tourists. But in the

The reason given by the Sou

which he gave to the United States
Commissioner of Education three

that there are yet far too many

In his picture the bright side
of the road represented those who
believed fully in a Democratic
