Coca-CoIa Drivers
Consumer Picketinq
Is Ruled Illegal

Consumer picketing as con-
Quoted by striking Coca-Cola
driver-salesmen at retail stores
here was ruled a violation Of the
secondary boycott provisions Of
the Taft Hartley law today.
The ruling enlarges upon an
earlier decision by a National
Labor Relations Board trial ex-
aminer who decided that only
certain actions of the strikers
during retail outlet picketing
constituted a secondary boycott.
Today's decision dimmed
chances for lifting of a Federal
Court ban on consumer picket
ing which the union sought in a
petition filed shortly after the
trial examiners ruling. Judge
Alexander Holtzoff is expected
to act on the unions petition
Monday.
Strike in 11th Month.
The strike is in it's 18th month.
It was called by Local Ct, Brew
cry and Beverage Drivers and
Workers Union (AFL Teamsters)
! in a union recognition dispute.
Evidence before the NLRB
was that the strikers picketed
company trucks at retail stores
where deliveries were being
made. In some cases drivers de-
livering other types of merchan-
disc refused to cross the picket
lines.
Two types of picket signs were
used. One announced the driv-
er-salesman union was on strike.
The other urged customers en-
tering the store not to buy
Coca-Cola.
Assertion Lacks Merit.
"We find no merit IN the
(union's) assertion that the
picketing was intended only to
embarrass the nonstriking en-
ployes of Coca-Cola, or to pre-
vail upon the buying public to
boycott Coca-Cola's product"
the board ruled.
I'VE have no difficulty in con-
cluding on the entire record
that the object of this picketing
activity was to sever the busi-
ness relationship between Coca
Cola and its customers and be-
tween those customers and their
suppliers," the board added.
Martin F. O'Donoghue, attor-
ney for the union, said the de-
cision will be appealed "imme-
diately" to the Circuit Court OF
Appeals.

10th Century Photography
Records Pageant of History

A pictorial history Of the
Americas, 76 years in the max
ing, has been completed in the
Capitol rotunda frieze.
It's 18 sections depicted in
fresco circle the 3O0-foot rotunda
in a continuous panel eight feet.
three inches high-the work Of
three artists.
The first was Constantine
Brumidi, who designed the first
Is panels and actually executed
six and a part of the seventh
from 1877 until his death in 1880.
The seventh was completed
and the other eight done on the
Brumidi design by Filippo Co.'S
taggini from 1880 to 1888. The
final 30 feet of the frieze, COW
ering the Civil War, the Spanish
American war and the birth of
aviation in the United States,
were designed and executed by
New York artist Allyn Cox in
1952-1953.
Viewers of the finished frieze
have remarked. on the similarity
Of the two panels on the Plym-
outh colony and the Pilgrims
Evening star., 1953-12-11

Authorities explain. it as Artist
Brumidi's whimsy.
The frieze shown here in four
panels was photographed by a
commercial photographer on a
single negative and produced on
a single strip print by the Naval
Photographic Laboratory.
To do it, the camera was CEN
tered and leveled on Scaffolding
in the exact center of the ro-
tunda, it's lens equidiStant from
all points of the 300-foot circle.
Because there was slight sway
at the top of the 65-foot scaffold,
four guy wires were used to
steady it for the electrically re-
volved camera.
More than an hour was re-
quired to get the camera in
proper location and leveled. The
photographing could be done
only at night to insure uniform
lighting by electricity.
After 80 minutes on the first
try. the film was developed al
the Capitol. Several more ex-
posures were made with in.
creased lighting. The final re-
suit was printed by the Navy.

Court Advisers Plan
10 Submit Program
To Curb Truancy

The Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee will submit a list Of
suggestions to School Supt. Ho-
bart M. Corning regarding meth
ods Of reducing the number Of
habitual truants and getting
them before court faster.
Roscoe Evans. Shaw Junior
High School principal. urged at
meeting Of the committee yes
terday that one person In each
Of the District schools be placed
in charge Of attendance. This
person would screen daily absen-
tees and send only the illegal
abSentees to the school systems
central Office. he explained.
The central department then
would have only to deal with de-
linquent truants and in turn
would be able to concentrate on
serious cases. he continued.
Where a truant is considered to
be very bad. the chief attendance
officer would confer with him as
a preliminary to immediate re-
ferral to Juvenile Court.
The committee decided to for
ward Mr.. Evans suggestions to
DR.. Corning. Mr.. Evans is head
Of a subcommittee of the advi-
sorry committee and has been
making q study Of the truancy
problem.
Mr.. Evans said his subcom-
mittee further recommended
that the school programs be
tailored to meet the needs OF
children better. He suggested
that teachers be encouraged to
channel underprivileged children
and their families to welfare
agencies because a lack Of ade-
quate clothing often causes them
to feel self-conscious. become
maladjusted and eventually turn
into delinquents.
Mr.. Evans also urged that the
community set up more after
school jobs for teen-agers, but
''in conformance with child la
Dor regulations"
Mrs. Thornton Owens resig-
nation for personal reasons was
! accepted by the committee.

Preparations now are being
made by the accounting and
engineering firm of Ernst &
Ernst for another set of hearings
in January. which will deal with
detailed problems of both ac-
counting and engineering oper-
atiopal practices.
The current hearing wound up
about 2 pm. yesterday as the

The stacks Of testimony taken
in the last three days Of public

He did. however. support the
idea Of an overall survey as pro.

Operations Defended.
Mr.. Merrill defended opera.

present management, but he saic
he had voted against a much

he thought the public reaction
would be unfavorable at q time
when the company was asking

Mr.. Ecker contended that the
transit company since 1949 ha:
expanded its service in line with
the number Of passengers using

Mr.. Bennett took a stand fol

Bill Is Drafted 10 Bar
Pension 10 Police in
Misconduct Cases

Legislation has been prepared
for introduction In the coming
session of Congress to ban re-
tirement pay for policemen and
firemen for certain specified mis-
conduct.
The bill has been drafted by
order of Chairman Simpson Of
the House District Committee, to
give District Commissioners
power to refuse pensions in such
cases as that of former Police
Inspector Albert I. Bullock.
Representative Simpson, Re-
publican, of Illinois, plans to in
troduce the measure soon after
Congress convenes next month.
The bill would affect not only
District police and firemen but
also men of the United States
Park Police, White House Police
and the United States Secret
Service Division of the Treasury.
d. C. Appeals Decision.
Bullock was dismissed from
the force but obtained a court
order ruling that he. was en-
titled under present law to his
pension retroactive to February
II, 1862, when he first applied
for retirement. The District
Commissioners have appealed
from this decision by Judge
Alexander Holtzof of the United
States Court for the District Of
Columbia
Bullock was dismissed after
q Police Trial Board found him
guilty in August of insubordina-
ton, conduct prejudicial to the
good order of the Police Depart
ment, and failure to file District
income tax returns for three
years.
The former officer is not yet
receiving his pension Of about
$500 . year. Litigation still is
pending also over back pay
claimed by him.
The Simpson bill is an amend
ment to the Police and Fire
Retirement Act of 1916. It woulc
give the Commissioners author.
ity "in their discretion" to dis
continue relief or retirement
compensation under certain con.
ditionS.
Specific Causes.
They could so act II the per.
son involved:

turpitude.
2. Were found by the Com
miSsioners after a hearing to b

3. Had committed any offens'
involving moral turpitude whill
an active member of any of th'
f1ve forces named.
4. Had refused to testify OF

grounds.
This fourth category under
the bill would include such

Of Congress. or before any granc
jury. or in any criminal or civi
proceeding, or in any investiga.
tiop conducted by or at the di.

Pepco TO Continue
Higher Rate Pending
Commission Review

Further court action seemed
likely today to determine If the
ruling which blocked the $2.6
million rate increase granted the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
means that the company cannot
continue to charge the higher
rate pending review by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
A spokesman for Pepco said
the company intends to continue
the increased charges unless a
change is definitely ordered.
A spokesman for the Cap
ital Transit Co., which is dis
putting the rate increase, said he
believes the ruling yesterday
voids the rate rise which was
granted by the commission in
1851.
1t seemed probable that some
action will. be taken to try to
get judicial ruling on the issue.
Lower Court Reversal.
The U. s. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia re-
versed a lower court ruling
which upheld the utility COM
missions grant.
The appellate court, holding In
general that the findings in sup
port Of the specific rate rise were
insufficient. directed that the
whole matter be remanded back
to the commission. But the
court did not spell out whether
the rise is actually voided at this
time. -.
The court also held that the
commission made insufficient
findings to back up the reason
ableness. Of a 51a per cent rate
Of return granted Pepco on the
base rate.
Court Disagrees.
On this point the court split

for approval while Chief Judge

Pasture Top-Dressing
Pays Off Dividends
VPI Expert Says

Top-dres pasture, It pays
particularly in this period of high
feed costs.
John F.. Shoulders. associate
agronomist at VPI, reminds pro-
ducers that pastures are the
cheapest feed for livestock, and
that forage plants must have
enough mineral nutrients to be
most productive.
Here are his suggestions:
Top-dresS pasture while they
are dormant or after cutting for
hay or silage. This prevents burn
ing or excess damage to the
vegetatiVe Part OF the plant In
the fan, winter. OF early spring
before growth starts, is the best
time to top-dresS.
Apply the fertilizer when the
soil is dry enough to prevent the
tractor, truck. spreader or other
implements being used from pack
ing the soil OF leaving ruts in the
field
Take care of the soils lime
requirement before applying ferti-
lizer. Have the soil tested. and if
it tests below 60. apply enough
lime to bring the PHI to about 6.5.
Generally. tall grass and ladino
clover combinations should be top
dressed each year with 500 to 800
pounds of 0-l4-14 or 2-l2-12 per
acre. Native pastures, such as
bluegrass and white clover, can
usually be satisfactorily maintain
ed by top-dressing every to 4
years with 1000 to 1900 pounds
of 0-l4-l4 or 0-16-8. If the
pasture is pale green and UNI
thrifty, use 5-10-10. The exception
to the 3 to 4 year interval in top
dressing native pasture is in east
ern Virginia where it may be
deSlrablt to top-dress each year.
County agricultural agents can
give details on local top-dressing
recommendations
