Highest Court Asked
To Uphold DeIegating
Of Authority 10 D. {.
By Robert K. Welsh

The. Justice Department, op-
posing racial segregation in res
taurants here, urged the SUI
preme Court today to uphold the
power Of Congress to delegate
legislative authority to the Dis
trict on local matters.
The court will hear arguments
next Thursday or Friday on q
District test case resulting from
refusal Of a Thompson's res
taurant to give service to Negroes
in 1850. The tribunal allotted
an hour for a department
spokesman, possibly Attorney
General Brownell.
In a 101-page brief, Mr..
Brownell and Acting Solicitor
General Robert L. Stern con-
tended the u. S. Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Colum-
bia erred in holding that anti
discrimination statutes enacted
by the old District Legislative
Assembly in 1872 and 1873 were
invalid and not enforceable.
District authorities, attacking
the appeals court decision, and
attorneys for the restaurant
company, asking that it be af-
f1rmed, are to submit briefs
within a few days. These and the
Justice Department brief will be
the basis of the oral arguments.
Before the Supreme Court re-
Gently agreed to accept the case.
Mr.. Brownell joined in a request
for review mainly on the ground
that the appeals court decision
threw grave doubt on the consti-
tutional power of Congress to
grant effective home rule to the
District.
The brief being studied by the
Supreme Court today went into
far more legal and constitutional
detail. It declared that the acts
of 1872 and 1873 were valid when
enacted ana are still IN full force
and effect.
Those statutes, which the de-
partment says were not repealed
by the District Code of 1901 or
any other law, made it criminal
offense for owners of restaurants
or various other places of public
accommodation to refuse to serve
any respectable we'll behaved"
person because Of his race or
color.
Other Decisions Cited.
The Justice Department cited
decisions of the Supreme Court
to bolster its claim that Con-
gress has ample power under the
Constitution to delegate to the
Federal territories, including the
District of Columbia, authority to
legislate on local matters"
When the Constitution gave
Congress exclusive" jurisdiction
over the District, it did not stop
Congress from delegating legis-

ganiZation be left to the proper
organizing groups"
Stating that the 20 agencies
and units of the Health Depart
ment and the more than 40
voluntary health agencies in the
District are ''inadequately CO.
ordinated," the committee rec
commended that the health
section of the United Com
munity Services accept the job
of planning and co-ordinating'
the health needs of the District.
The committee suggested that
the health section Immediately
establish and put in effect a
specific and detailed plan for
medical care of the INDECENT.
1t also recommended that the
health section should not de-
pend exclusively on UCS funds
but would be financed by men,
bership dues from all health
agencies.

OAR Rebel Stages
Her Own Revolution,
Protests Unanimity

A rebel cry sounded yesterday
against the virtual unanimity
which the Daughters of the
American Revolution usually
present in their annual conven-
ton resolutions.
Mrs. Philip r. Peck of Glens
Falls. N. Y, said she spoke for
her chapter and for Mrs. Ma
thaniel P. Davis, London, chap
ter member, and Mrs. Emma
Waring Wallbridge, Waukegan,
ILL.,, in a critical statement de-
livered at yesterdays session in
Constitution Hall.
The three spoke out against
several resolutions yesterday and
Wednesday.
Mrs. Peck questioned how the
OAR could adopt resolutions on
controversial policies of the Fed
eral Government with hardly a
dissenting vote"
Can it be that 10000 women
think alike?" she asked. I'VE of
Chepontuc Chapter believe that
the reason there has been. in
the past, no opposition to the
resolutions is because of the way
In which they are presented"
While preliminary resolutions
are sent out to the chapters in
advance now, they are not COM
plete and are subject to change
Without notice, she said.
They should be sent out in
final form we'll ahead of the
annual convention, she argued.
She felt the voters should have
more time to consider them.
Last year. Mrs. Peck said. her
gfoup went on record opposing
resolutions which it believed to
be critically destructive to the
United Nations"
She said the U. N. needs the
support of patriotic organiza-
tionS like the OAR Ito make it
q. more perfect instrument for
world peace"
While the society processes to
support the U. NJ, she said. none
Of the resolutions submitted to
the convention Ito our knowledge
have ever commended any ac-
tlon of the U. N"
They have always been criti-
cal, or lukewarm in praise or
support for any Of its actions" +"
she added.
She called on the Daughters
to turn the strength massed
within this great influential and
highly esteemed organization to
q constructive force for the
United Nations and make it q
deadly weapon against destruc-
tive forces of evil that threaten
our republic and the world"
After Mrs. Peck concluded.
Mrs. James B. Patton, OAR
president general, asked her if
her chapter was for world gov
ernment or partial world gov
ernment. Mrs. Peck said it was
not.

said.
There is no established ad-
ministrative pattern within the
Health Department to bring the
various medical care functions

sideration as an entity. Each

sponsible to the Director of Pub

apparent that many activities of

down to five rounds per gun. He
argued, however, that the supply
of ammunition and other ma.
terial was not the overriding de-
f1ciency.
Much of his letter was a repe-
tition of the case he presented
to a Senate committee which in
vestigated his removal as Far
East Commander by former
President Truman on April II,
1851.
Never Consulted on Supply.
The general. who is now con-
nected with the Remington
Rand Co., began by telling Sen
ator Byrd he was never con-
suited directly or indirectly re-
garding the supply program for
Korea.
under such circumstances,
he said. "the labored effort made
by the former Secretary of the
Army to create some sort
of relationship between me and
the ammunition shortage in
Korea during the last two years
since I left there, is completely
fantastic"
Gen. Macarthur also criticized
the Truman administration for
failure to translate the early
military victory following the
surprise Inchon landing into a
political advantage by seeking
peace at that time.

Washington Sees Possibility
OF Truce Signing This Week

Official Washington believed

Korean President Syngman Rhee
and United States Assistant Sec
retary of State Walter S. Rcb-
ertson have agreed on actions
their governments will take.
Fighting should halt within IL
hours after the signing. Each
army would fall back about one
mile to leave a buffer zone be-
tween the forces that rave been
killing for three years.
To bring on the possibility of
a truce with the clearance of
Mr.. Rhee. the United States had
to make concessions to the South
Korean president. The United
States also still has some unfin-
ished business to take up with
Mr.. Rhee.
