Photo Studio Gets
FTC Desist Order

"F'ree" photographs offered by
a studio for correct answers to
simple telephoned questions are
not free when the subpect has to
pay 81, Federal Trade Commits
sion examiner has ruled.
Examiner Everett F. Maycraft
has ruled that E. T. Moye, trad
ing as Moye Photographers, I'll
Fourteenth street NV, must
stop deceptive practices. Mr..
Maycraft found Moye's statesmen
always collected a 81 service
charge and that the customer
then had to pay SO before re-
ceiving the free" picture.
The examiner also cited a
practice of issuing coupons of
fering "salon size" portraits for
$2.95. This, the FTC announce
ment said, called for a down pay
ment of SITS or $1.95 to the can
vasser, with the balance to be
paid when the picture was made
or proofs delivered.
The examiner reported numer-
Gus occasions when the studio
failed to take the pictures, failed
to deliver proofs or failed to de-
liver finished pictures within a
reasonable time. In some cases,
the examiner found, delivery was
made, only after many months
and persistent demands, and in
other cases delivery was never
made. The examiner said re-
funds frequently were refused in
such instances.
The examiners decision will
become the decision of the COM
mission unless it is appealed,
STAYED or dOcketed for review.

robbery squad announced today
the arrest of a man who may
be identified with as many as
35 housebreakings in the last
three months.
The suspect, Irwin A. Paetow,

NV, has admitted some Of
fenseS in the sixth, eighth and
18th precincts, Capt. Tolson said.
He was arrested last night
after his picture was identified
by some of the recent victims.
Capt. Tolson said police were
continuing to question Paetow
about numerous housebreakings
that followed similar pattern.
In most cases the thief sought
only cash, and often left empty
purses on kitchen tables. The
prowler also used ladders to
reach high windows, and once
was seen by a woman whose
house he was about to enter via
stepladder.
Capt. TolSon said Paetow was
released July 25 from the Lor-
ton Reformatory on good time"
on a 10-to-40-month sentence
for houSebreaking.

Buntin and Betty McCuddy said
today they would continue their
life as if it had never been in

that shattered their 22-year
secret.
THE boys have had their in

Nashville socialite who disap-
peared with his secretary in 1881,

The enduring love that

Their home was filled with

to help?" asked B. L. Burton, the
father-in-law of one of their
daughters, who dropped by.
Tom and Betty, who both work
in Beaumont. stayed home today.
Tom works at an appliance store
and Betty is a court stenog-
rapher.

ne'er-do-well the Tennessee Su-
preme Court branded him. He
and 22-year-old Betty stayed
in Texas and somewhere along
the years assumed the names of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas D. Palmer.
When the court ruled on Feb
ruary %, 1912, that Mr.. Buntin
was legally dead, it did so on
the grounds that he was not cap
able of making a living for him
self.
Today legal tangles faced Ken
lucky lawyers over disposition of
Betty's estate which went to
nephew after she was declared
dead.
But an insurance company,
which first found Mr.. Buntin
about three weeks ago but
wouldn't say where, wasn't con-
cerned with legal arguments.
Under protest it had paid off on
two $4,000 insurance policies on
Mr.. Buntin.

$4,000 was left. The company

which they have done-it may
not be necessary for them to tell

Segregation
Continued From First Page.

that its action on these measures
(for separate schools) would
constitute a legislative interpre-
tation of the 14th amendment,
or indeed that the amendment
was in any way relevant" the
Justice Department brief said.
To support its argument that
Congress had no intention of set
ting precedentS on segregation,
the Justice Department related
that in 1866 the 39th Congress
passed bill requiring authori-
ties of Washington and George
town to pay certain sums for the
support of separate colored
schools. A week later. Congress
gave three lots in Washington
for colored schools.
Cite Lack of Written Report.
1T is to be noted that none
of the foregoing measures re-
ceived much attention in Con-
greSS," the Justice Department
said. There were no written
committee reports.
All were considered perfume
torily as part of routine District
business and were passed with
scarcely any debate or division
in vote"
In direct attack on the Dis
trict Commissioners, who argue
for segregation, the Justice De-
partment brief said: =
1T is contended that the 1866
school legislation for the Dis
trict of Columbia evidences an.
understanding by the 39th Con-
gress, which proposed the 18th
amendment, that the amend
ment did not prohibit racially
segregated schools.
Sees No Inference.
1--WE believe that no persua sive
inference can be drawn of any
connection between these acts
and the amendment.
In the first place, separate
schools in the District for COL
ored children had been estab-
llShed by Congress four years
before the 14th amendment was
proposed. The 1866 acts were
only implementations of the ex-
lSting legislation.
THE legislative history of
those measures contains no indi-
cation that they were regarded
as having any relation to the
18th amendment
"The amendment was passed
by Congress only after prolonged
and searching debate, while the
school measures were considered
perfunctorily, amid a welter of
routine District business.
Amendment Doesn't Apply.
There is no evidence that any
member of Congress thought
that its action on these measures
would constitute a legislative in
depreciation of the 18th amend
ment, or indeed that the amend
ment was in any way relevant
Congress was exercising it's ex-
elusive jurisdiction over the Dis
trlct, to which the 14th amend
ment does not apply.
Moreover, the conditions
prevailing in the District during
this period were such as to make
the question of mixed or separate
schools relatively unimportant.
Throughout the entire period
the overriding problem was to
make a beginning in providing
some schools for Negroes
Details of school organizat tion
were subordinated to that need
and were not considered anC
discussed in Congress"

to bar racial segregation in Dis
