is bound to be taken up at
the next session of the Gen.
eral Assembly in September.
The French have already
adopted the position that
whatever they do in their pro-
tectorates is their own busi-
ness and nobody else's. The
French delegates know that
they cannot prevent the Arab
bloc from talking, but they are
endeavoring now to secure our
support as they did on pre-
yious occasions.
Washington is placed in a
dilemma which will require
some quick thinking. If this
Government is going to live up
to the American concepts of
self-determination of nations,
it will be compelled to side with
the Arabs.
In such an eventuality
France which has already
shown herself weary with the
NATO. might threaten once
more to get out of that coali-
ton. 1t is remembered here
that only last year Marshal
JUN, the highest ranking
French officer, now next in
command to Gen. Gruenther
in Europe, openly declared
that if America pokes her nose
in North African affairs
France should bang the door
in her face and get out of the
NATO. Although mildly rep
rimanded by the then Pre-
mier Pinay. there is no ques-
ton that his words represented
the real thinking of his coun-
trymen.
In spite of the rapid de-
terioration in France due to
an impossible internal situa-
tion, our Government still
regards highly her political
position in Europe and is lean
ing backward to do nothing
which might offend the Paris
administration.
In the meantime, it is real
lied in Washington that we
may be playing with fire if
the Arab bloc is treated cava-
lierly. While we have been un-
successful in getting the Arab
countries together for con-
structive purposes such as
Middle Eastern defense, they
can easily get together in op-
posing the "colonialists" in
whose ranks we are already
frequently counted.

Fraud Charged I'M Ads
BY Appliance and
Radio-N Firms

Charges of fraudulent adver-
tising in local newspapers against
the Home Appliance Co. and
Georges Radio & TV were
continued until October in
Municipal Court yesterday.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney E. Riley Casey filed the
charges against the two COM
panies, both run by George
Wasserman. before Judge An
drew j. Howard, jr., late yeSter-
day when Mr.. WaSserman volun-
tarily appeared in court.
Appliance Offered as New.
The Home Appliance Co. ran
an advertisement in the Daily
News last April IA which ad-
vertiSed certain washing ma
chine for sale as new and ma
tionally advertised. Mr.. Casey
declared that the advertisement
contains a false, untrue and
misleading statement"
In the second charge the Gov
ernment declared that an adj
vertisement August in The
Sunday Star, which offered a
carload of 1853 television sets
at half price. also contained
false and misleading informa-
tion.
To Hit Every Complaint.
Mr.. Casey declared afterwards
that the United States attor-
ney's office is prepared to prose-
cute leach and every complaint
of false and misleading advertis-
ing" in an effort to keep border
line advertisers operating with
in the law.
The assistant United States
attorney declared that there is
no arrest warrant involved in
the present cases and that Mr..
| Wasserman was not held under
bond but released under per
sonal recognizance."
Basis of the complaint against
the advertisement which ap-
peared in The Sunday Star of
August 2 is understood to be the
following statement which was
run as part of that advertise
ment:
"Our distributor told us that
the factory had just shipped him
a final carload of the 1858 line,
preparatory to closing down the
production lines for summer va
cation. This last carload was at
the summer doldrum price
that's real low price jackson!
Georges agreed to take the lot,
the distributor mopped his brow
and took our check. The special
price he gave us to clean out
his warehouse permits us to offer
the entire lot to you at smash
ing half price. Now! World fa-
nous DU MONT, the television
set with the prestige of Royalty,
is yours with all the quality at
just HALF THE PRICE! Only
at George'S!"
The Star regrets that any ad-
vertisement appearing in it's COL
umns has been used as the basis
for a charge of fraudulent or
misleading advertising and is as
much interested as the United
States attorneys Office in seeing
that the charges are fully inves-
tigated and properly disposed of
in court.

Personal appetites of hospital
lied veterans now get particular
attention as part of a unique sys-
tenn which has lowered the Vet
eranS Administrators hospital
food bill by $18 million, VA Off
cials said yesterday.
What started out in 1948 as a
study to eliminate wide differ
ences in food costs among the
VAS scattered hospitals, re-
suited in a new concept of feed
ing the 100000 patients they
treat annually.
The scientific feeding even al
lows hospitals to satisfy the eat
ing habits of patients from diff
ferent sections of the Nation.
Admiral Describes Plan.
Retired Vice Admiral Joel T.
Boone, the VAS chief medical
director, said in an interview:
Because of the f1exibility of
the standard ration pattern. with
its stress on nutritional values,
VA now can go to considerable
length in pleasing the pal
ates of its patients-even to the
extent of encouraging patients
to bring their favorite recipes
from home.
These recipes are increased in
size and then tested. If they are
found satisfactory in one hos
pital, they can be sent to the
other hospitals so as to provide
constant variety of foods and
flavors throughout the hospital
system"
AS the study went into cost
factors. it was concluded that
not only wide fluctuations in
cost, but also variations in nu-
tritional levels for patients with
the same illnesses, had to be
Strengthened out.
A basic food allowance was
developed. Extra allowances were
made to meet increased nutri-
tional needs caused by some ILL
nesses. And the whole plan was
geared to recognize the psyche
logical and emotional aspects of
feeding sick people.
Better Meals, Less Cost.

pattern has eliminated variations
in costs and nutritional values
and yet is providing each patient

Plans to expand the grounds
of Appomattox Courthouse Ma
tional Historical Monument,
scene of Gen. Robert E. Lees
surrender to Gen. U. S. Grant,
have been completed by the
Interior Department.
A bill authorizing the expan-
sion was passed during the re-
cent session of Congress.
The expansion will be a land
swap which the National Park
Service hopes will be possible.
The plan is to get 94.5 acres
needed to protect the tract from
commercial development and to
include several historical points
not now within the boundaries
of the monument.
100 Acres to Swap.
A 100-acre tract of little his
torical Importance on the east
of the monument will be used as
swapping material.
The park service has split the
desired land into five tracts.
The largest of these is 81 acres
in a narrow strip running north
of Virginia State highway "a.
Acquisition of this strip would
prevent commercial development
across the road from the monu-
ment grounds. 1t is known as
Tract /.
Tract 2 is 21a acres needed to
straighten out an awkward
boundary on the west side of the
only section of monument land
north of the highway.

City's Police Traffic School
Even Draws Driver Testers

The Districts Police Traffic
School has such good reputa-
ton that even the men who give
road tests to drivers are attend
ing.
At recent session of the
school in the Municipal Center,
eight of Traffic Director George
Keneipp's examiners showed up,
many of them with from Is to
80 years of driving experience.
"We want to keep up with the
ABC's of traffic regulations" ex-
planned Chief Examiner Lindsey
T. Rider of the Bureau of We
hicles and Traffic.
The session was given before
about 100 persons, many of
whom volunteered" to attend
the course after being involved
in some traffic violation or acci-
dent, in order to get back their
permits. The school is held from
8 to 10 pm. on Fridays and
from 10 am. to noon on Satur-
days.
1900 Complete Course.
According to Police Sergt.
Aubrey S. Yowaiski, chief lee
turer of the school who once was
seriously injured by a thought
less driver, at least 1900 per-
sons have completed the course
since the school opened in 1948.
Another 5000 to 1000 persons
have attended one or two Ses-
sions and then quit.
Sometimes, during the lee
lures, funny things happen. For
instance, one man, who was at
tending because he had been
arrested for driving while drunk,
was listening to a lecture on the
subject. He turned in his chair
and whisky bottle fell out of
his pocket. He left and never
came back.
One man going to the school
after a violation liked it so much
that he brought his wife. She
liked it equally well and brought
her son to one of the sessions.
The son then talked his sister
into going, so over a few weeks,
the whole family was there.
Companies Send Drivers.
The schools reputation has
spread so rapidly that many
commercial cab and truck fleet
owners insist that their drivers
attend. There have been drivers
from a dairy firm, a bottled soda
company, the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co., and others.
There also were drivers from
