Arnold Line Suit
Against Virginia for
Seizure Is Unlikely

Possibility that the Arnold Bus
Line might sue Virginia over use
Of company property during a
nine-week strike early this year
appeared remote today.
Counsel for the line, formally
known as the Washington, Vir-
ginia & Maryland Coach Co.,
said such action. if taken at all,
will not come for some time"
Seeking Fare Increase.
The question Of Virginia pay
ing the company for loss Of
revenue while the State oper-
ated the utility was brought up
at an Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearing yesterday. The
bus line Is seeking q fare in
crease for trips to military posts
IN the State.
Hearing Examiner William r.
Croft had asked the bus COM
pany's controller, Richard C..
Bennett, if any thought had been
given toward taking such action.
Mr.. Croft pointed out several
Midwest trucking firms have re-
covered stable sums from the
Federal Government for use of
their property during wartime
seizures.
To Await End Of Hearings.
Manuel j. Davis, lawyer for
Arnold, said the possibility has
been explored. However, he ex-
planned such action would not
be taken until the present hear
1ngs are ended.
And then, only in the event
ICC rules that part of the rev.
enue loss would have to be paid
by Virginia. In that case, he
asserted. the company would be
forced to file q claim against the
Commonwealth.
In seeking a fare increase Mr..
Bennett said Arnold revenue
slumped from $560,013 in the
third quarter Of 1852 to $463, 178
in the fourth quarter and $406,-
ITO in the first quarter of 1858.
The firms net loss in the latter
quarter was 1898. Mr.. Bennett
said.
Hearings will be resumed on
Monday.

A Partisan for Freedom Dies
Gen. Rodescu, Former Ronnonion Prime Minister,
Fought Tyranny Of King Carol, Hitler and Stain
Constantine Brown:

An unsung and little-known
hero died last month in q
modest apartment in New
York. He was Gen. Nicholas
Radescu, 'one-time chief of
staff and Prime Minister of
Romania. He had tried to meet
head on the Communist con-
quest Of his country. and lost
because the West could not
support him.
But he did compel the Rus
SLAMS, who at that time, early
in 1945, attempted to establish
puppet governments in their
SatelliteS-to-be through "popu-
lar movements" to come into
the open and use their own
military force and direct politi-
cal pressure to achieve their
goal. This happened under the
nose Of their American and
British allies.
RadeScu was typical Of tens
Of millions Of people who are
now under the Soviet yoke. He
came Of peasant stock, entered
his country'S military academy
before World War I and fought
for democracy and against
relationships. He fought the
armies Of Field Marshal Mac
kenSen in the ranks of the
Romanian army, distinguished
himself and rose to the rank of
major general.
RadeScu was loyal to his
country and to his king until
Carol II was bitten by the die
tatorial bug in 1888. Radescu,
who had been aide-de-camp
to Carols father, resigned
from the army in protest
against these undemocratic
ambitions.
Carols dictatorship ended
In disaster in 1910 when
Hitler was at the height of his
power. In his drive, to fore
stall his ally, Stain. in the
drive for the Balkans, Hitler
forced upon his Romanian
puppets q Nazilike govern
ment with Gen. Antonescu as
prime minister. The nominal
ruler of Romania at that time
was neither Carols successor,
young King Mihai, nor his
prime minister, Antonescu,
but the Nazi special envoy"

the club is made up of the boys
themselves.
All teen-age boys are full of
energy and sometimes it spills
over into mischief. That's where
the club comes in. For instance,
when three members Of the var

two days, the three mischievous
youngsters scrubbed floors and
windows at their headquarters,

satisfaction Of the committee,
Butt says.

race is one in which both drivers
start from a standing position
and attempt to Guido each other

and the race actually could not
be classified as dangerous. but
the committee viewed it with
displeasure. The pilots also
scrubbed floors and windows.
The club is also a fund-raiser.

day in the Governments anti
trust suit.
In the trial, which started four
weeks ago. the Government con-
tends the NIL has violated inter-
state commerce provisions of the
Sherman Antitrust Act by re-
stricting radio and television
coverage Of its games.
Defense counsel indicated the
two final witnesses may be called
today. They are Nicholas Ker-
bawy, general manager Of the
Detroit Lions, and Asa Bushnell,
who ran the National Collegiate
Athletic Associations limited
football TV program last year.
Once all defense witnesses
have finished their testimony,
there will remain the summa-
tions by opposing counsel and
then Federal Judge Allan K.
Grim-sitting without jury-will
hand down his decision.
However, Judge Grim has not
indicated yet whether the trial
will reach an early conclusion.
He may grant the attorneys a
week or more to study the trial
minutes before making their
closing addresses.
Challenge by Marshall.
During yesterdays session,
George Preston Marshall, owner
of the Washington Redskins.
challenged the Government to
prove that football fans object
to the NFL television policy.
Marshall testified he moved
his franchise from Boston to
Washington in 1887 because he
couldn't gain more newspaper
attention than girls field hockey
on the day his team was engaged
in a title game.
Marshall, one of professional
sports most outspoken represen-
tatives, said the only complaints
received by the Justice Depart
ment have been from a few
men in radio and television who
are not getting a piece of the
pie and want to muzzle in. The
people have not complained"
Cannot Divulge Complaints.
The chief prosecution attor-
ney, w. Perry Epes, said outside
the courtroom later that the
Justice Department cannot di-
vulge complaints received from
the public land they (the NFL
know it,"
But" he added. IT can say
that the public did complain and
that we initiated this case from
many complaints. not one or
two"
Defense attorneys have limited
they feel the case was prompted
by complaints of Gordon McLen-
don, Dallas (Tex0 radio station
owner. McLendon testified dur
ing the NIL trial that profess
sional sports restrictions on ra-
dio broadcasts of sporting events

Broadcasting System he once
headed.
Defends 75-Mile Zones.
Marshall defended the pro
football leagues rule 10. which
set up 75-mile zones Of radio and
TV control for each NIL league
city. The home team in each
case was given the final say-so
over broadcasting rights within
its own area.

baseball and boxing have no

are suffering from "television-
