Pennsy 10 Equip Cars
With Device 10 Lock
Air Brake Angle Cock

The Pennsylvania Railroad
has. decided to equip some of its
passenger cars with a protective
device that may prevent acci-
dents like the runaway train at
Union Station January Is.
In a formal statement, the
railroad said some cars of other
railroads also would be similarly
equipped when hauled over the
Pennsylvania lines.
There appears to be some
feeling" said the statement,
that the location of the air
brake angle cock on some cars
which are equipped with a par
ticular type coupler may be such
that action on route would change
the position of the angle cock.
While we have no positive
evidence or indication that this
can happen, nevertheless, in the
interest Of providing the great
est possible protection we are
taking the precaution of INSTALL
ing a protective device on all
passenger cars which are
equipped with that type coupler.
Those cars where a condi-
ton might exist similar to that
described above will have the
angle cock locked in open posi-
ton, assuring full braking power
to the train"

Assault Case Ends
In Second MistriaI

The trial of Dallas Williams
on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon ended yesterday
in a mistrial for the second time
in a month.
Judge Charles F. Mclaughlin
declared the mistrial after two

mind, they could not say whether
he was mentally unbalanced at
the time Of the assault on Sep
tember 26, 1949. A third psy-
chiatrist, DR.. Max Miller, testified
he believes Williams was insane
at the time of the offenSe.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Thomas Flannery was in
structed to prepare an order for
Williams removal to Gallinger
Hospital for mental examination.

trict Court for the District OF

change lawyers after the jury
had been sworn in.

wounding two men. He has q
record of IA convictions ranging
from manslaughter to attempted
robbery and assault. He is now

High Court Recess
May Block Ear|yD.C.
Restaurant Decision

A month-long recess sched-
uled by the Supreme Court raised
a strong probability today that
the tribunal will end it's current
term without ruling on the legal
right of restaurants in the Dis
trict to refuse service to Negroes.
The high court announced yes
terday it will hand down no
opinions and hear no arguments
for a month after the regular
decision day next Monday.
That will not delay District
officials in seeking a review of
a ruling January % by the U. S.
Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict OF Columbia. But it seemed
unlikely that the high court
would hear arguments before
next fall. even if it granted the
review request in late March or
April.
The appeals court, in a 5-to-4
split, held, in effect, that eating
places here may refuse service
to Negroes. It decided that laws
enacted by the Districts old
Legislative Assembly in 1872 and
1873, banning restaurant dis
elimination against persons be-
cause Of race or color, were in
valid.
District officials, who have an
nounced their intention to ap-
peal to the high court, said today
they plan to move as promptly
as possible. They explained.
however, that even the ordinary
processes of applying for writ
Of review will take several weeks
Counsel for the John r. Thomp-
son Co., Inc, the restaurant in
volved directly in the test case,
then would have several weeks
to file an answer.
If the high court then agreed
to review the case on its merits
it would give both parties addi-
tional weeks to file detailed
briefs. The court seldom hears
oral arguments during the last
month or six weeks of the term.
but it conceivably could set the
restaurant controversy down for
argument early in the fall.
