Sherman Adams, a major

committee his warriorship in
their cause.

Court Rules
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Mrs
Pinky hurry. AZ. yesterday lost
a suit to collect 1-penny-a-pie
from a manufacturer who, she
said, used her personal recipe
for sweet potato pie.
Federal Judge John p. Barnes
said after hearing the evidence
that. although Mrs. hurry
might make a lovely sweet po-
tato pie. her method just
couldn't be copied by a COM
mercial baker. She prepared "a
mix of a consistency suitable to
her touch. using certain desig-
mated ingredients in quantities
to suit her TASTE" he said.
In ruling for the defendant,
the Wagner Pie Corp. which
formerly employed Mrs. Murry,
colored. as a cleaning woman.
Judge Barnes held that the
company used ingredients and
combinations known for many
years.

Credit Union League
Worried by Suit Of
; Big Independents
By DonoId B. HodIey

Oficials Of the District Credit
Union League and the Credit
Union National Association are
worried by court action brought
by three independent Federal
credit unions here in the last
week to prevent suspension Of
the charters of two Of them, it
was learned last night.
They fear that the action
directed against the Bureau Of
Federal Credit . Unions will
stimulate what they regard as
a full-scale campaign Of bank
ers for restrictions and closer
regulation Of credit unions.
The Bureau ordered suspen.
sion Of the State Department
and Interior Department unions
for charging members a fee for
caShing Government checks, an
activity which it ruled was not
authorized by law. The Labor
Department union joined In the
court action to set aside the
order. A District Court hearing
mas teen set for November %.
None of the three big unions
with combined assets Of around
SIS million and around 10000
members is a member of the
District league. to which most
credit unions here belong. The
District has $50 credit unions
with assets of more than SAL
million and more than $4,000
members.

Investigated by ABA

The Federal Reserve Bank Of
Philadelphia made a recent spe-
cial study of credit unions and
their broadening activities which
affect banks comparatively and
the American Bankers Associa-
ton is investigating the same
subject with a view to recon-
mending legislation.
Unions have grown into big
businesses, often dominated by
small groups. and as their ac-
tivities have broadened they
have come more and more into
direct competition with the
banks. The bankers favor reg
ulations such as they work UNI
der themselves.
They also are said to favor
transfer of the regulatory au-
thority to the Controller of the
Currency from the mushroom
ing Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare. At present
District unions are regulated
from the departments Atlanta.

Ship Radio Men End
West Coast Strike
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. T.
The CLIO American Radio Associ-
alton called off its six-day strike
against Pacific Coast shipowners
today after being notified that
the shipowners had ratified a
contract and offered to negotiate
remaining differences.
The radiomen held an emer-
gency meeting last night to con-
slider the shipoWners' offer.
After the meeting William r.
Steinberg. ARA president, said a
letter from j. Paul st. Sure, pres
ident of the Shipowners' Pacific
Maritime Association, informed
the ARA that the June agree
ment had been ratified by all
PIMA members.
The shipowners, however, ex-
pressed the intention to nego-
tiate one section of the contract
which provides overtime pay for
radio operators while ships are
being shifted in port.
Mr.. Steinberg said the radio
men had walked out under a.
mo contract, no work" policy,
but since the contract was now
ratified would seek to enforce
disputed sections of the agree
ment through legal proceedings.
The strike had tied up some
40 vessels in West Coast ports.
The Walkout came last We'd
nesday after shipowners said the
June contract was invalid be-
cause it had not been ratified.

District Officials
To Visit Z Cities in
Housing Code Study

District officials plan to visit
Baltimore and Philadelphia FRI
day to study the housing codes
of those cities and how they are
applied, especially on the ques-
ton of tenements.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert F. Kneipp, who is
working on the Districts new
code, and Milton Dulin, head of
the Housing Division of the De-
partment of Licenses and IN
spections. will make the trip.
Following an informal discus
sion yesterday. including Charles
B. Dulcan, ST., chairman of the
Housing Code Advisory Commit
tee. Mr.. Spencer said he under
stands that, under the Phila-
delphia code and American Pub
lie Health Association model
code, there are provisions in
tended to cover what the Dis
trict terms tenements.
May Limit Designation.
Earlier, it was learned that
abandonment of the word "tene-
ment" to classify certain kinds
of housing here is under consid-
GRAFTON by officials studying re-
vision of the local code.
r Another suggestion under dis
cussion is to wipe out the Dis
trict's complex and untested
tenement regulations. This would
require broadening of the pro-
posed housing code to cover mat
tiers now handled by separate
tenement regulations.
Mr.. Spencer said the District
wants to find. out exactly what
the situation is in the other
cities-whether they have the
same kind of tenement" as the
District and just how the codes
apply.
In addition, the city head re-
ported, Mr.. Dulin is going to see
If he can compile some figures
from the records in his office as
to the exact situation with re-
spect to tenements here.
Number, Size, Facilities.
This information would in
clude the number of tenements,
their sizes, the number of rooms
involved and the facilities they
contain.
A public hearing last Wednes-
day on the proposed new hous-
ing code for the District brought
charges that the code is both
too lenient and too strict. The
hearing ended with plans for a
review by the Dulcan committee.
The Districts use of the words
tenement" and st e n m n t
house" was a major cause of
confusion at the hearing, in view
of the relationship to other
classifications to which the Dis
trict gives special definitions.
