3-Year Fiuht for License

Hyman j. Minkoff, proprietor
Of the Acme Liquor Supply Co.,
400 North Capitol street. was
free to resume operating pack
age liquor business today after
a three-year battle with the AL
coholic Beverage Control Board.
Mr.. Minkoff's license, granted
February l over the dissent Of
Board Chairman Alan w. Payne.
had been suspended until today.
His license had been revoked
in February, 1851, after he was
indicted for neglecting to report
three large sales of liquor to a
North Carolina man. The in
dictment was dismissed in Dis
trict Court. however. after he
compromised the case by paying
$1,000 to the Treasury Depart
ment. .
The board ignored the dis
missal and after a hearing re-
voked his license He appealed
unsuccessfully both to the U. S.
District Court for the District
of Columbia and the Court of
Appeals. Each year he applied
for a license, but his request was
refused. He remained open on
a court order which expired jan
uary 20.
The ABC Board now has &C
copied his license fee for the last
three years and granted a re-
newal for 1854.

A retired District playground
instructor, who dubbed an auc-

house was put up for sale last
January, was ousted bodily to-
day after United States mar
shals were forced to break into
the house.
The woman, Miss Daisy B.

place NV, was taken to No. 10
Precinct where she was charged
with disorderly conduct. She
was released after posting IS

Allan L. Kamerow, attorney

the house was put up for sale in
January when the Washington

Today United States marshals
who went to evict her broke the
glass in the front door to gain
access to the house and carry
out the court order.

British Papers Criticize u. S.
For Haste in Rebuff to Russia

bid as a maneuver to undermine
the security of the Western
nations.
In Parliament yesterday Mr..
Eden declared NATO was "the
answer to Soviet policy and not
, the cause of it," He said Britain
was ready to consider any prac-
teal plan for European security,
but could not agree to replacing
NATO "for the sake of a new
arrangement in conditions as
they are today"
Reply at First Opportunity.
Mr.. Eden told Mr.. Morrison
exchanges between the allies on
such Russian proposals had
"been the general practice" in
the past. But he said the Soviet
note reached Washington "at an
hour of the day different to the
late hour at which it reached us
and the comment was made as
I made the comment this after
noon." Presumably Mr.. Eden
meant each nation had spoken
on the Russian note at the first
opportunity.
France has issued no official
comment on the Soviet bid yet.
but high level sources echoed
the British and United States
feelings about the aims of the
Molotov note, One French source
said the offer was like a pyro-
maniac wanting to become a
fireman"

LONDON, April 1.-Two lead

the United States State Depart

ing Russia before consulting
Western allies on the surprise
Soviet bid to join up with NATO.

tary Eden echoed the United
States rejection of the Soviet
offer and Opposition Laborite
Herbert Morrison demanded the
Western allies get together in
the future before taking deci-
sions on Russian offers affecting
them jointly.
The independent and influen-
tial London Times agreed the
Russian bid, contained in identi-
cal notes Soviet Foreign Minis
ter v. M. Molotov handed to en-
voys of the United States, Brit
ain and France in Moscow We'd
nesday, was a further attempt to
wreck the proposed European
Defense Community.
But the Times added: "the
automatic rejection which Mr..
Molotov'S note drew from the
State Department is not substi-
'tute for consultations among all
governments concerned. In his
more temperate comment yester-
day in the House of Commons
Mr.. Eden showed such consulta-
tons were expected"
Called "ShOt From Hip"
The liberal News Chronicle
said the State Department "shot
from the hip" and declared: "It
did so apparently without much
thought to the alarm and re-
sentiment this sort of technique
must create among the North
Atlantic Treaty powers at a
time when some of the implica-
lions of the lone American
journey with the H-bomb are

Russian Switch on NATO
Confuses East Germans

BERLIN, April (R.-Rus-
sias surprise bid to join the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation, a 14-nation alliance she
previously denounced as ag-
gressive, has created some con-
fusion among East German
Communists.
Hans Kiefer. a party secretary
from Erfurt. told the Socialist
Unity (Communist) convention
in East Berlin today "some
comrades are saying that until
now we fought against the
NATO treaty as a war pact"
But he told delegates Russia
had commented in the offer that
"NATO could lose its aggressive
character if all the great powers
which belonged to the anti
Hitler coalition took part"
Interior Minister Will Stoph,
chief of the East German army
and police, said the party and
the state had made great
strides" since the rebellion last
June II in becoming closer to
the workers and the farmers,
but there is still hard work to
be done on this score.

H-Bomb Increases
Need for Ban on Such
Weapons, Reds Say
BY ire Associated Press

LONDON, April 2.-Moscow
Radio said today the hydrogen
bomb has increased the need for
an international ban on atomic
warfare.
The broadcast, quoting the
Communist Party organ Pravda.
linked RusSia's surprise bid of
Wednesday to join NATO to "the
fact that the destructive power
of the atomic weapon is inces-
sanity increasing and, in addi-
ton to this, the hydrogen
weapon has appeared. whose
power surpasses many times the
power of the atomic weapon"
Russia has long clamored for
an immediate ban on atomic
weapons but has refused to agree
TO Western demands that it be
preceded by establishment of an
effective system of inspection to
insure compliance.
The Moscow broadcast said
Russia'S latest note to the West
ern powers raised key questions
of international relations whose
settlement is most important for
STRENGTHENING universal peace
and for preventing a new war
which would represent under
present circumstances a partic-
ular danger to the peoples"

necessity for a substantial re-

portance of such efforts is be-
coming greater.

Churchill Cabinet
Called on Arms Talks
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Ap,il Prime
Minister Churchill today called
a cabinet meeting for Monday
at which the government will
decide it's attitude toward a
Labor Party motion urging an
immediate high-level conference
between Britain. the United
States and Russia.
The Laborites believe such a
conference should discuss re-
duction and control of arma-
ments. The Churchill govern
ment is believed ready to go
along on the principle of such
meeting but is undecided on the
ACCESSIBILITY of calling it right
now.
Mr.. Churchill has repeatedly
said he still wants an informal
get-together of world leaders to
ease tension-but at the proper
time. He will address the
House of Commons Monday on
perils and problems of the H
bomb.
In Western Europe, news
papers gave photographs of the
1852 United States H-bomb ex-
plosion precedence over written
descriptions. Most West Ger
man newspapers showed the
pictures and stories inside or on
their back pages.
There was little editorial COM
ment. But Giornale of Naples
tied Russia's diplomatic bid to
enter NATO to the H-bomb,
saying the Soviets now realize
cit is all the more urgent" to
undermine the European de-
Tense community latter having

Donald O'Connor Is good en-
tertainer, but ] much prefer to
watch him perform live.
His first show Of the NBC-TV
series alternating every other
week with Jimmy Durante was
on film and for that reason alone
was disappointing.
The quality of the voice and
music reproduction was below
average, and as is the case with
movies on TV, the picture ap-
peared fiat. To me, this reduced
the effectiveness nearly half.
Furthermore, the program even
had a Marilyn Monroe-Joe De
Maggie gag. apparently written
before the famous marriage
broke up. A boner, like that
couldn't have happened If the
show had been live.
I don't know whether it was
the purpose to play down the
fact the performance was on
film, but the only announce
ment came in fieeting line Of
small type as part Of the closing
credits. You had to be really
quick to catch the words, Filmed

In watching such a filmed
show one always suspects that
the laughter Is dubbed in, just
like the singing voices in the
first of the spectaculars.
O'Connor and his partner. Sid
Miller (they also serve as the
programs producers) continue to
rely to an important extent on
their song-writing act. It still
is funny. but whether, like the
pitcher, it can be taken to the
well too often is something for
their viewers to decide.

me. II cried through it. I'm only
sorry I won't be able to watch
it and our show, too"
Other viewers do not think
the fight against disease is enter
tainment for the home. Well see
which viewpoint prevails.
Meanwhile, let's have a look at
the medic himself. He's Richard
Boone, So, a Los Angeles boy.
You've seen him in many movies,
though you might not recognize
him as the clean-shaven general
practitioner on TV. Usually he
has played a deep-dyed heavy
with beard and other DISCUSSES.
without the fake hair and
makeup, Boone is a craggy-faced
fellow with deep-set, penetrating
eyes. He rejoiced in what TV
has done for his movie career.
I'm the past few weeks that
the show has been on" he de-
clared, II have had more recog-
