Seaman Feared Lost
As D. C.-Bound Ship
Rescues Spaniard
By the Assoeiated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 26.-A
Spaniard's attempt to remain in
the United States after he had
been ordered deported may have
cost the life of a Norfolk sea-
man.
Coast Guard air and surface
units were searching the waters
of Newport News today still
hopeful that the seaman, Law
renee Ewing. may still be alive.
Mr.. Ewing and Willie Turner,
both crew members of the Bal
timore Steam Packet Co.'s
steamer District of Columbia,
were plunged into Hampton
Roads last night when the
steamer launched a lifeboat to
pick up the Spaniard who had
been sighted in the water. The
boat capsized in strong currents.
Mr.. Turner and the Spaniard
subsequently were rescued but
efforts to find Mr.. Ewing proved
futile.
A'spokesman for the 5th Coast
Guard District said the Spaniard,
Julio Garmenda, had been taken
to Newport News from New York
and placed aboard the Spanish
ship Fernando L. de Ybarra by
immigration officials for depor-
tation to Spain.
The ship was due to sail at
$3.50 o'clock last night, but some
time before 7:30 pm. Garmenda
went over the side of the freight
er and into the chilly waters of
Hampton Roads.
About that time the District
Of Columbia came steaming by
on her regular run from Norfolk
to Washington and put out the

Grand Jury pursues
Gambling Evidence
Against Powell

The special grand jury investi-

mony on gambling by Clyde L.

assistant commissioner of the
Federal Housing Administration.

the District OF Columbia, which
ordered Mr.. Roth reinstated in
his job, the Supreme Court up
held the appellate body.
The Supreme Courts action
was hailed by employe leaders
and merit officials as a milestone
in protecting the merit system.
The Roth case was widely re-
garded as a major test of the
job security rights of civil service
employees.
No Summary Firings.
The case involved the job
rights of civil service employees
whose jobs are transferred to
excepted schedules. The Su-
preme Courts action means they
cannot be fired summarily. They
can be fired only for cause and
under civil service procedure.
Mr.. Roth, the key figure in
the test case, is due to collect
more than $4,000 in back pay
as a result of yesterdays action.
But Mr.. Roth said he is even
happier at the thought of going
back to work.
This has been a rugged IA
| months for my family and my
SELF" Mr.. Roth declared. Il am
very happy that the case has
finally been settled.
IF I have been able, in some
little way, to help the career
system, then the economic,
spiritual and professional dam
age done to me and my family
during the last IA months can
be borne a little easier.
II hold no i'll feelings toward
any one. I am anxious to re-
sumo my career in the Justice
Department, and I hope that
things will get back to normal
as soon as possible"
Mr.. Roth said tribute to Will
liam c. Doherty, president of
the AFL National Association of
Letter Carriers, who organized
the Committee to Preserve the
Merit System to finance Mr..
Roth's appeals to the courts.
Without Mr.. Doherty, would
not have had a chance" Mr..
Roth said. Mr.. Roth was rep
resented in his successful appeal
by the law firm of Woll, Thatcher
g. Glenn.
While the Supreme Courts ac-
tion is expected to restore Mr..
Roth to his job, it. has much
wider implications for civil serv-
, ice employees. It means that
civil service employees whose jobs
are transferred to expected
schedules still retain their civil
service job protection rights
guaranteed them by the Lloyd
LaFollette Act of 1912.
Requires Notice Of Charges.
The appeals court held that
civil service employees whose jobs
are transferred to excepted cat
egories are entitled to the same
job protection rights as all other
civil service workers. This means
the employees must be given writ
ten notices of charges and a
reasonable period to answer
them before the agency can take
dismissal action.

regulations are expected to re-
store the civil service system

Buffer zoninq Created

Falls Church officials have
changed the city's zoning laws
to enable a new approach to
the problem of commercial en-
croachment on residential areas.
The City Council last night
created a new zoning district,
transitional, which is intended
to serve as buffer between
contiguous commercial and resi-
Dental zones. The T-Zone plan
was created, by 3 TO / vote,
after a group of city residents
protested that the council had
not made enough information

High Court May Give
Term S First Written
Decision on Nov. 3
By Robert K. Welsh

The Supreme Court may hand
down its first written opinions
OF the new term when 1t returns
to the bench November 8 after a
two weeks recess.
Before quitting time yesterday
the court further compressed its
calendar by denying more than a
score Of petitions for review of
lower court rulings. These in
cluded four cases that consti-
tuted second round of attack
on fair trade" laws which, in
general. allow manufacturers to
fix minimum prices for retailers.
The District and Missouri,
Texas and Vermont are the only
jurisdictions with no laws of
that kind.
The four cases challenged VAL
idity not only of the State flair
trade" law in New York but also
questioned validity of the Fed
eral MCGUIRE Act. Congress
passed that act two years ago to
provide that a fair trade" agree
ment signed by a manufacturer
and one or more retailers in a
State binds all other retailers in
the State. including those who
do not sign.
Left Standing.
State Courts in New York up
held the MCGUIRE Act as we'll as
the State laws. Those rulings
were left standing by refusal of
the Supreme Court to review
them.
In another order yesterday the
court again denied hearing to
Carlyl Chessman, sentenced to
death in California six years ago
as a sex terrorist. Chessman,
who received a fourth reprieve
from execution last July. wrote
book, Cell 2455, Death Row"
while waging his long fight to
escape execution.
The Supreme Courts action
apparently did not end all legal
recourse for him. It denied the
review petition without prejudice
to an application for a writ of
habeas corpus in an appropriate
United States court in California.
Chief Justice Warren a former
Governor Of California, did not
take part in consideration of the
case.
Docket Gaining.
Since the court began it's cur
rent term October it has kept
pace with its constantly growing
docket. It has issued orders
either denying or granting re-
view or otherwise disposing Of
more than 300 of the approxi-
mately 400 appeals filed since
the end of the last term. It also
has acted on several hundred
miscellaneous motions and heard
arguments on more than a doz-
en- cases previously accepted for
review.
One Of the most important
eases already argued and await
ing decision involves constitu-
tionality of the Districts 1945
Redevelopment Act and its i'm
mediate application to this city's
Southwest redevelopment pro-
grams. Arguments were heard
only last week. It is believed
unlikely that an opinion will
be handed down as early as No
vember 8.

.FTC Chief Orders
Speedy Probe Of
Business Mergers
Star Stan Photo.
BY the Associoted Press

Chairman Edward F. Howrey
of the Federal Trade Commission
has ordered a speedy but thor
ough" probe of business mergers
to determine whether competi-
ton is being lessened.
Citing a nearly fourfold in
crease in mergers and company
sales that took place following
the outbreak of war in Korea,
Mr.. Howrey bracketed it with
the transforming era of 1887
1904" and "a significant merger
movement in the 192Os."
There is no question that the
present merger movement must
be carefully assessed" in the
light of the antitrust laws, he
said late yesterday in announc-
ing the new study.
Increase Since 1851.
After two decades when merg-
ers averaged 200 year, they
shot ups in 1851 to 703, rose
again IN 1852 to 1922 and fell
back a little in 1853 to 1893. ac-
cording to a tabulation accom-
panying the FTC announcement.
Business consultations in 1851,
1852 and 1858 totaled 2,318, COM
pared with 602 for the previous
three years. The all-time high
recorded by FTC was 1926 merg-
ers or business acquisitions in
the manufacturing and mining
field in 1929.
In the first half of this year,
FTC said, there were some 295
consultations, possibly indicat-
ing a drop to about 900 for the
current year.
But the numerical record
alone, FTC said, does not tell
the story it said it wants to get
at, because it does not differ
entiate between billion-dollar
and small-potatoes combines,
and does not throw light on the
economic significance of the
mergers-the extent to which
they may have decreased or de-
formed competition.
