his mind that the Russians had
developed a workable A-bomb.

again." he told a reporter. "Some
people disagree with me about
it, but that is their right"
On two occasions while he was
in the White House Mr.. Truman
announced intelligence reports OF
nuclear blasts inside Red terri
tory.
He added that his belief does
not mean that we should for q
minute let down our guard.
Keeping up our strength il
the best thing we ever did," he
added, referring to continuing
research on A-bombs.
I'm hoping we can prevent
another world war. There will
never be a winner in another all
out world war. It would mean
the destruction of civilization"

Truman's statement, DR.. Harold

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Wil-

Government economist, was con-
victed today Of perjury in deny
ing he ever gave secret Govern
ment data to Elizabeth Bentley
for relay to Russia.
He also was convicted on a
second perjury count for falsely
denying knowledge Of the exist
ence Of a unit Of the Young Com
muniSt League at Dartmouth
College when he was a student
there in the 1930s.
Remington was shaky on his
feet after the verdict. Before it
was announced, he sat pale and
nervous at the defense counsel
table. fldgeting and aimlessly
picking at the leaves of a pocket
dictionary.
Could Get 10 Years.
Remington could be sentenced
up to 10 years in prison and
$4,000 in fines on the two. counts
This would be twice the penalty
he drew on q previous, convic-
tion-which he got reversed on
appeal.
The Federal Court Jury'S ver-
dict-announced at $3.50 am
left further charges hanging over
his head.
The jury acquitted the hand
some one-time $10,000-a-year

dictment. This charged him
with falsely denying he ever
recruited any one into the Com

ported it was unable to agree
These involved his denials that
he ever attended Communist
Party meetings in Tennessee
when he was employed by the
Tennessee Valley Authority, OF
that he ever paid Communist
Party dues.
Miss Bentley . Witness.
Miss Bentley, admitted former
courier for q Soviet spy ring, was
. prosecution witness against
Remington at both trials. She
said he gave her War Produc-
tion Board information.
RemingtOn's divorced wife,
Ann Moos Remington, was
teamed as a star witness against
him with Miss Bentley. Mrs.
Remington, divorced in 1850,
testified, she was with Remington
when he transmitted data and
party dues to Miss Bentley.
The Government can bring
Remington to trial again on the
two deadlocked counts If it
wishes, Judge Vincent L. Liebell
said. If convicted on these two
counts, Remington could be SEN
fenced to q possible maximum of
another 10 years and $4,000 In
fines.

Commissioners Vote
To Appeal Decision
On Race Segregation
Regulation to Outflow
Cofe Discrimination
Also Ordered Drufted
By John w. Stepp

The District Commissioners to.
day ordered the Corporation
Counsel's Office to appeal the
decision of the United States
Court Of Appeals for the District
Of Columbia upholding racial
segregation in restaurants here.
The appellate court reached
its conclusion last week in q
flve-to-four decision in the
Thompson's Restaurant case.
The Commissioners today acted
unanimously, on the motion of
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue.
Mr.. Donohue no sooner had won
approval Of this motion than he
got his colleagues to 60 along
with another suggestion that
Corporation Counsel Vernon e.
West prepare a regulation that
would outlaw racial discrimina-
tion in restaurants.
This proposed regulation would
in effect accomplish what the
"lost laws" of 1872 and 1873
sought to do. These old laws
are the ones being subjected to
the current court test.
Delay Suggested.
Commissioner RenaI F. Cam
alier at first objected to Mr.,
Donohue's suggestion. He pro-
posed instead that the city heads
wait until the Supreme Court
has ruled on the old laws, still
on the books though never used,
before undertaking to prepare
the suggested regulation.
Such a course. Mr.. Camalier
said. would be more orderly"
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
the Engineer Commissioner,
seemed dubious about drafting
a non-discrimination regulation
at this time. Gen. Prentiss said
that he failed to understand how
the passage of a regulation now
would eliminate the question OF
disuse surrounding the 1872-73
laws passed by the Legislative
Assembly.
Prompted by Opinion.
Commissioner Donohue said he
was prompted to make his move
by the opinion Of Appellate Judge
E. Barrett Prettyman, whose
stand broke the 4-to-4 split of the
court. Judge Prettyman held that
the old laws are unenforceable
because Of their continued disuse
over the years. Mr.. Donohue's
position was that his proposed
regulation would put the old
laws into use.
AS he sees it. Mr.. Donohue said,
the regulation could be adopted
under the Commissioners licens-
ing authority. It could be word.
ed, he said. SO that a condition
OF restaurant and barroom
licenses would be that all well
behaved persons must be served,
regardless Of race or color. Vio-
lations Of this term could lead
to license revocation. Mr.. Dono-
hue explained.
No Decision ON Use.
The city heads emphasized
that instructing Corporation
Counsel West to prepare the
regulation draft constitutes nc
decision on any such regulation
at this time.
In connection with the segre-
cation question generally the
Commissioners agreed to study
q request from the National As
sociation for the. Advancement
Of Colored People that the Dis
trict stage q "civil rights day. =
The NAACP suggested that Lin
coins birthday might be q good
time to have such Q day, on
which all citizens be given q
chance to express their views on
the possibility Of removing
every yestige OF racial discrim-
ination" In the District.
