it is played with downright dis

Among the males surrounding
Miss Hepburn, it is Mr.. Hamp-

who contributes the most-comic
moments. He is pretty funny
whenever he turns up, usually
snarling about something. He is

City Heads Reaffirm
1916 Stand Against
Fair Trade Proposal

The Commissioners today re-
affirmed a 1916 stand against
passage of a fair trade bill for
the District of Columbia as
undesirable.
They took the action today
after the Senate District sub
committee on business and COM
merce requested a statement of
their views. The subcommittee
has scheduled hearings on the
newly reintroduced bill for 10
am. Tuesday.
The bill would permit manu-
facturerS of name brand" prod
ucts to enter into agreements
with distributors here, and the
distributors to do the same with
retailers, to set minimum prices
on their merchandise.
An earlier Board of Commits
sionerS took the same stand
when a similar bill was last in
troduced into Congress. It was
tabled on request of it's spon-
sors-local drugstore retailers
when a public hue and cry
arose. Principal objections
stated by the Commissioners
are that such sales price agree
ments would increase prices and
prohibit free competition.
The Commissioners referred to
a report made by the Federal
Trade Commission when such
legislation was last introduced
The commission stated then that
the bill is designed to enable
the manufacturer to arbitrarily
impose and maintain minimum
prices at levels fixed without
relation to differences in cost
among different distributors and
dealers"
While the city heads said they
do not know whether the view
of the Federal agency remains
the same, they feel the proposed
bill is undesirable.
Fair trade laws similar to the
one proposed are in effect ir

County Won't Push Charge.

have no intention Of pressing
charges against Pvt. Pjerrou be-
cause of his mental state, Capt.
Dayhof added.
The quiet surrender of the
hunted man came as a distinct
anticlimax to the frantic
search.
He was seen walking along
Pier 8 at Pratt street on Balti-
more's waterfront yesterday aft

Police found on him knife

Washington getaway. Pvt. Pier
rou also had three cans of sar-
dimes taken from the Thomas
home in his pockets.
An ambulance returned the
soldier to Walter Reed Hospital.
An officer who talked to him last
night said he was mild and
meek-but that's the way he was
before"
These things come on sud-
denly he said-a brainstorm.
Pvt. Pjerrou had been improving

been given more liberties as is
customary as patients improve.

Offer Plan Calling for
3-Yeor Active Duty

The Air Force and the Air Ma
tional Guard, in a surprise move,
today announced that commits
sions would be offered 4,840 more
college ROTC graduates next
month than originally intended.
A large number of the stu
dents involved attend four Dis
trict area universities.
Under the new plan, the grad
yates will become officers in the
Guard and serve on duty with
the active Air Force for three
years.
Because Of personnel limita-
tions, the Air Force announced
last June with Secretary of De-
fense Wilson's approval that:
/. All the graduates who ap-
piled for flight training would
be commissioned and estimated
that some 1000 would apply.
q. One thousand officers with
specialist ratings also would be
commissioned.

would be enlisted as airmen third

years for ordinary recruits.
Protest Original Plan.
Assistant Air Force Secretary
H. Lee White. announcing the
new arrangement today, said he
had received delegations of edu-
Gators and parents protesting the
original plan.
They maintained that the Air
Force had made an agreement
with the students to give them
commissions.
Mr.. White said the Air Force
denied any contract had been
made, but admitted that one may
have been implied when the stu
dents signed up for advanced
training in their Junior year.
He said the arrangement with
the Guard was strictly a one
year proposition" and that some
future ROTC graduates who de-
clined pilot training would. be
taken on as enlisted men.
More Flyers Sought.
Mr.. White said the primary
reason for the original plan was
to force more of the original
graduates to take up flying. It
achieved this goal, he said.
Before announcement of the
original program last June, $500
out of the class of 1925 signified
intention to take UP hying. After
the announcement the number
entering flying jumped to more
than 1000.
Selective Service has agreed
that applicants under the new
air guard arrangement will re-
ceive a, maximum of go days
delay prior to any induction
action so that commissioning can
be completed.
The University of Maryland
has one of the largest air ROTC
units in the country with 2,843
students. Air ROTC enrollments
are 465 at Georgetown Univer-
sity, 348 at Howard University
and 1873 at Catholic University.

and Washington's main down.

Webb & Knapp. who are
working toward a vast rede-
velopme1t plan for the whole
waterfront area, envision Tenth

functioning mainly as a grand
entrance to the Southwest from
the north.
AS a first step in trying to
bring the two proposed uses to-
gether, it was learned, the firm
has hired w. Earl Andrews, New

neer. officials said he will be
here within 10 days for confer
ences with city highway officials
and the members of the Ma

Robertson Optimistic.
j. N. Robertson, District high
way director, praised the move
and said he Is confident the two
uses can be resolved. He warned,
however, that one problem will
be whether the type Of entrance
the New Workers want can be
built with funds the city will
have available.
Importance of the so-called
Tenth street "south mall" de-
velopment to Webb & Knapp
was made clear in a one-year
study agreement the firm signed
in March with the District Re-
development Land Agency. The
firm, stressing that most details
of it's redevelopment proposal
are indefinite, singled out only
the mall-like entrance to the
Southwest as a must.
