BUSINESS IS FOR FREER TRADE
Christian Science Monitor

Christian Science Monitor
 A change of really momentous significance in the attitude of American business recorded at the nual meeting recently of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States The 1000 delegates representing estimated 1,600 900 businessmen approved policy statement which largely turned it's back tariff pro- tectionsm advocated repeal of the preferential Buy American Act on government purchases, favored an increase of imports and declared tariff rates should be based broad national interests rather than those of one industry section.
 The majority in favor of this point of view probably relatively one, but the existence of such majority at all indicates broadening of homie outlook.
 When America was at disadvantage industrially and planned it's defense on in terms of the western hemisphere-it had to subsidze many industries in order to sustain them and have them available in event of war. Now that it is world leader both indus traly and perforce mitarily the United States needs to foster larger trading in which the most eff cent producers wherever fOund contribute their full strength to the free world.
 Probably it has come to be recognized more clear y and widely in the United States that tariffs form of subsidies. Instead of being paid directly from the Treasury in the of farm other sub sidies the benefits from consumers who pay for the arifprotected articles than they would have to pay they could buy without customs duties from foreign suppliers.
 It is yet to be seen what effect the Chamber of Commerce resolution will have in Congress, but the trend represents cannot for very many sessions be ignored here.

Ex-church Treasurer
Cleared on One Count

A former Arlington church
treasurer yesterday was acquit-
ted of an embezzlement charge
by a Circuit Court grand jury.
KelSie w. Springer, 81, Of the
$500 block North Seventh street,
former treasurer of the Arling-
ton Church Of the Nazarene,
was acquitted Of one Of three
indictments.
The decision by a 12-member
fury after a f1ve-day trial cleared
Springer of a charge that he
embezzled $500 from church
funds during october. 1850.
Louis Koutoulakos, assistant
Commonwealth's attorney. said
the remaining two charges prob
ably would be dropped.
Oren r. Lewis, defense attor-
ney, contended that discrepan-
cies in church fiscal records
were the result of faulty book
keeping. He characterized his
client as "a man who has upheld
all the teachings Of Christ"
Mr.. Springer took the stand
In his own defense Thursday and
said he did not make a practice
Of counting funds turned over
to him from collections. He re-
peatedly insisted that he never
converted any church funds to
his own use.

System Suggested
For Prince Georges
BY a staff Correspondent Of tn. ssor

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 7.-Dele-
gate William r. Hughes, Repub-
lican, of Prince Georges, yester-
day announced a plan which he
feels will eventually give his
county a liquor dispensary sys-
TEN similar to that in Mont
gomery County.
Mr.. Hughes, in q statement
proposed that when the 352 ex-
ist1ng liquor licenses in his
county are revoked or aban-
doned, they be taken out o1
circulation.
AS new areas develop. he said
county liquor stores can be
opened instead of issuing new
licenses for private package
stores. He also suggested that
county stores might be placed ir
areas where residents have sue.
cessfully opposed the establish.
ment of private liquor outlets.
He also would ban the trans
fer of existing liquor licenses
either to new locations or to new
owners.
To eliminate what he called
1.-The honky -tonks." the delegate
proposed mandatory revocation
of any liquor license whose
owner was twice convicted o1
violating county liquor laws.
He suggested that profit from
the county liquor stores be
rurned over to the county school

Cut in Food Required
For Poultry Reported

Feed manufacturers and poul-
trymen from throughout the East
were told yesterday they can
grow a three-pound broiler with
almost a third less feed than 1t
took seven years ago.
DR.. G. F. Combs, professor Of
poultry nutrition at the Univer-
sity of Maryland. disclosed the
advancement at a one-day poul-
try nutrition conference at the
University of Maryland.
DR.. Combs said it took IA
pounds of feed to produce a
three-pound broiler chicken in
1946. Today, it's possible to
raise the same size bird on S1a
pounds of feed, DR.. Combs said,
because Of the discovery and use
of new vitanlins and antibiotic
feed supplements.
He estimated the savings at
about 10 cents q bird.

Hearing 10 Be Held
Today on Grammer's
Plea for New Trial
BY the Assoeiaied Press

BALTIMORE. Mar. THE
part publicity played in the
murder trial of George Edward
Grammer is one of five matters
to be taken up today when the
Supreme Bench hears his plea
for a new trial.
The 36-year- r-old New York Of
flee manager faces hanging or
life imprisonment. He was con-
victed last october of the mur-
der Of his 33-year-old wife last
August. The State contended
Grammer was in love with an
other woman, killed his wife and
tried to make it look like an
auto accident.
Judge Herman M. Moser, who
heard the case and convicted
Grammer of f1rSt-degree murder
without a jury, will not partici-
pate when the city's 10 circuit
judges who make up the Su-
preme Bench consider the new
trial motion.
No Early Decision Likely.
Arguments were expected to
continue into the afternoon and
no immediate decision on the
new trial motion is expected.
If the new trial move fails,
Grammer still will have recourse
to the Court of Appeals and the
Governor.
Joseph Sherbow, a former
member of the Supreme Bench,
has become Grammer's chief
counsel.
One of his contentious is that
publicity about the murder case
prevented Grammer from receiv-
ing fair trial.
Other Grounds for Plea.
The other grounds for his new
trial motion are that the evi-
dence did not justify first de-
gree murder conviction, Gram
mer's confession was not prep
erly obtained and should not
have been admitted in evidence,
prosecutors and police abetted
publicity by giving out informa-
ton and appeared on a tele-
cast at the time of Grammer's
arrest, and that Judge Moser
discussed the case in secret with
the prosecutor before Grammer
was indicted and should have
disqualified himself as trial
judge.
The State brought out at the
trial that Miss Mathilda Mizi-
brocky, 28-year-old United Ma
tions stenographer from Canada,
had fallen in love with Grammer
in New York while Mrs. Gram
mer, a former Baltimore nurse,
was here caring for her dying
father. Miss Mizibrocky testified
she did not know Grammar was
married.

Tuck Virtually Certain
OF Congress Nomination

DANVILLE, Va, Mar. 7 (R.-
Former Gov. William M. Tuck
of South Boston was practically
certain of nomination for Con-
greSs as the 5th district Demo-
cratic convention opened here
today, but he had to share the
convention spotlight with two
other figures.
One of these was Virgil H.
Goode, Commonwealth's Attor-
ney Of Franklin County. a leader
of self-styled loyal Democrats"
The other was Thomas B. STAN
ley, former member of Congress.
who is aiming at the Democratic
nomination for Governor.
The convention was warily
eyeing Mr.. Goode to see whether
he intended to challenge the
seating of any delegates to try
to block the nomination Of Mr..
Tuck. Mr.. Goode, delegation
chief from his county, has in
the past taken a strong stand
against nominating any one who
did not support the Democratic
presidential ticket. Mr.. Tuck re-
fused to give such support.
Mr.. Stanley, for whose for
mer seat a candidate was being
nominated. was looked to as one
who might bring harmony to the
meeting. It was expected that
Mr.. Stanley would hear the
cheers of the convention, also.
as it passes a resolution indors-
ing him for the gubernatorial
nomination.

County Denies Farley
To Road Commission
On Rezoning Of Tract

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday re-
jected the Maryland State Roads
Commissions request for a con-
ference on a zoning matter.
The road officials want a tract
in Berwyn re-rezoned back to a
residential rating, so they can
buy it more cheaply sometime
in the future.
The county board decided, at
it's Hyattsville meeting yester-
day, that it wouldn't do any
good to talk about the issue.
Recently RezOned.
The tract is owned by David
April of Berwyn and is on the
Baltimore Washington boule-
ward. It was recently rezoned
for commercial use.
Chairman Russell H. Mccain
of the roads unit wrote the
county officials, asking them to
reconsider. His letter said the
State will need the property
when it gets around to relo-
eating University lane and
building the interbelt link.
He wrote that the county
board had been enormously in
formed on the roads officials
attitude toward Mr.. AprilS
property.
Waters BlameS Mccain.
County Commissioner Edward
(Ned) Waters nnounce d,
with considerable asperity, that
Chairman Mccain meant him.
And if there was any error, Mr..
Waters said, it was Mr.. McCain's
fault, because Mr.. Mccain per-
sonally gave Mr.. Waters to
understand that Mr.. McCain's
group was keeping hands OF
that coming matter.
And besides, Mr.. Waters added
after the meeting, the roads men
aren't putting these new roads
where they ought to be.
Mr.. Mccain could not be
reached for comment at his
Baltimore Office.

MOUNT CLINTON, Va, Mar. 7.
Representative Harrison, Dem
ocrat, of Virginia is critical of
congressional opposition to Pres
ident Eisenhower and hopes it
doesn't mean some Capitol Hill
leaders are trying to challenge
the Presidents leadership.
The 7th district Congressman
said Gen. Eisenhower deserves
fair chance and he intends to
support the President "On the
vast and momentous economic,
political and military questions
at home and abroad"
when the Presidents recon-
mendations clash with basic

.Prentiss Urges
Water Front
Plans Restudy.
Assurance of Tie-In
With Southwest
Project Sought

A restudy Of plans for further
development Of the Washington
water front along Maine avenue
was urged yesterday by Brig.
Gen, Louis w. Prentiss, Engi-
neer Commissioner.
The need for the study stems
from two causes. The first is
the changed set of conditions
since the development plan was
approved by Congress in the
mid-1930s. The other is to make
sure it fits hand-in-glove with
the proposed redevelopment of
Southwest Washington.
Gen. Prentiss, addressing a
luncheon meeting Of the WASH
ington Board Of Trade River
and Harbor Committee, noted
that only about IS per cent of
the river front development has
been finished. Included in the
finished work are two yacht
basins and two piers.
Higher Cost q Factor.
Increased construction costs
in recent years have eaten up
most of the money estimated
for the complete development
job in 1885.
Gen. Prentiss pointed out that
public policy recently has been
to spend funds for rivers and
harbors only If projects con-
tribute directly to the national
defense.
But I am sure this condition
will not last forever" he added.
The Commissioners, he said.
consider the most essential prof =
ect to be a combined-use pier
for structures ITO house harbor
police and fire units. These
units now occupy separate sites.
Funds for the pier were re-
quested by the Office of the
District Engineer, Corps of Army
Engineers, but were knocked out
Of the Presidents proposed 1854
budget. Under the development
plan, the engineers construct the
projects, then turn them over
to the District. The city already
has contributed to the program
a share of money originally
planned for the new police-fire
pier.
Asks Backing of Bridges.
In addition, Gen. Prentiss:
/. Urged the committee TO
study and recommend when ac-
ton should be taken to finish
reclamation Of land along the
Anacostia River.
2. Urged support for new Po-
tonac River bridges at Jones
Point. near Alexandria. and in
an area that would serve CEN
trail Washington. The strong
est controversy over a new CEN
tral span centers around the

noted that staff studies Of pos
sihle locations for the central
bridge are to be presented at

as usual, before the gate at VIII
mer Hensberger's home. They

AS he started through the

his head quickly and the animal
sank its teeth into his left cheek
and held on.
