Arbitrator Upholds
Post Dealer Contracts

Signing of individual dealer
contracts with circulation zone
and area managers who were
members OF a union bargaining
unit did not violate the agree
ment between The Washington
Post Co.. and the Washington
Newspaper Guild (CIO) an
arbitrator has ruled.
The decision was announced
by Arbitrator James j. Healy, a
Harvard University professor of
economics. in a case which was
initiated nearly a year ago,
Seymour J. Spelman, attorney
for the Guild. said he has asked
for reconsideration Of the deci-
sion and a Today period in
which to file q brief. He said his
request is based on the grounds
that the award contains pal
pable errors Of law and fact"
As circulation department EN-
ployes. the dealers involved were
members OF the Guild and were
covered by the Guild contract.
The decision said q strong
point Of the company's case was
the lack of any restriction In
the agreement on contracting Of
such work. Mr.. Healy said the
company's action was based on
reasonable business Judgment
and was not tainted with a mo-
tive designed to subvert the
unions right to exist and be an
effective bargaining ageat.

Arlington Woman Discovers
Dead Husband May Survive
Ex-coptive's Story
Reveals Russians
May Hold Him

To q 30-year-old woman in
Arlington. life has suddenly
become filled with confusion.
For Mrs. Donald Jarrell is now
in a position of trying to weigh
vague reports which have
reached her over thousands OF
miles, started by a man released
after 10 years of slave labor
under the Soviets. The reports
concern another man whom Mrs.
FARRELL married-and of whom
she was once the widow"
Others in Same Status.
Mrs. farrell, resident manager
of the Lee Gardens at TOO North
Wayne street, Arlington. is one
of three women who remarked
after their husbands were pre-
sumed dead when a Navy plane
vanished five years ago in the
Baltic Sea.
Shortly after the release by
the Soviets of John Noble Of De-
troit last week, Mrs. FARRELL
heard reports her husband, 1t.
Howard w Seeschaf. might still
be alive. At least Mr.. Noble
dangled the chance that 1t. See
schaf might be held with other
members of the planes crew in
some prison camp in Russia. He
mentioned no names.
"It is all so very confusing"
Mrs. FARRELL said today. Every
thing seems so vague and uncer-
tain"

Commission Talks
Tax Cut Possibility
With Capital Transit

Possible tax reductions for the
Capital Transit Co. were dis
cussed yesterday in a session be-
tween company officials and
members of the District Public
Utilities Commission.
Commission Chairman Robert
! A. Mclaughlin said the officials
also discussed possible effect OF
the proposed bill to let Capital
Transit charge school children
up to half the adult fares. in
stead of the 3 cents how charged.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
group reached no decision. He
pointed out that a Capital
Transit promise not to apply for
a rate increase expired on jan
uary and refused to speculate
on how soon the company might
file for a new rate.
Low Return Noted.
Mr.. Mclaughlin noted that,
during the 12-month period
ended last November. the COM
pany had a $40 per cent rate
Of return on its money, as COM
pared with the figure of more
than 8 per cent the commission
has ruled as fair.
The company, for several
years, has pointed out that. If
service is to be maintained near
its present level, it may be neces-
sary for the city to subsidize
transit operations.
Mr.. Mclaughlin also noted
that. If the company's stockhold-
ers fulfill a pledge to the COM
mission made in q "memoran-
dunn of understanding" last fall.
they will act to reduce by $2.4
million the base upon which
the company's rate Of return is
calculated. This. he said, would
have the effect of raising the
rate Of return earned for one
year ended in November from
3.79 per cent to 4.2l.
Business Hazards.
The chairman conceded that
the figure is still far below the
authorized rate Of return and
below that earned by other pub
lie utilities In the District, al
though Capital Transit. he said.
is engaged in q far more haz-
ardous business, from an eco
nomic standpoint, than.the other
utilities.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Mclaughlin
declared, every further rate in
crease drives away more custo-
mers and leads to new cuts in
service. This, he indicated.
would argue strongly against
further rate increases for the
company at this time.

Prosecution Witness
Sticks 10 Story on
Union Payoff Farley
By Jack Jonos

A key Government witness in
the extortion trial Of two paint
ers' union officials today re-
manned unshaken in his testi-
mony about alleged payoff meet
ings in connection with keeping
men on a painting job at An
drews Air Force Base in 1851.
Under intense and vociferous
cross-examination, Archie B,
Moore, ousted business agent of
District Council No. 81 of the
Painters Union. stood firm in
his story that he first met off,
cials of the Metro Decorating Co.
at the union hall, Seventh and ]
streets NE.
The officials had testified
earlier that the meetings to dis
cuss the payof had taken place
at the Lee House.
Accused Of Conspiracy.
On trial in U. s. District Court
for the District of Columbia are
Robert c. Lowry and John E.
Sullivan, suspended officials of
District Council No. 81. They
are accused of extortion and con-
spiracy to obstruct interstate
commerce.
Mr.. Moore, 1414 Quebec street.
Hyattsville, Md. listed as a CO.
conspirator, but not under in
dictment, also testified that on
advice of counsel. he:
L. Failed to report $500 he
received Of the alleged bribe
money on his 1851 Federal in
come tax return.
2. Filed suit in Federal Court
to recover money from others
who had taken bribes. although
he was vague about the nature
of the suit.
8. Reported the $500 finally
on his 1852 Federal income tax
return.
Put Money In Cellar.
He told of placing his share
of the bribe money in envelopes
under a furnace at his home, but
under cross-examination, said he
could not recall exactly how
much money he had put there.
He used a part of 1t early in
1852, he said. for attorneys fees
in an attempt to clear up cor
ruption in the union"
The question in dispute is
where and how arrangements
were made to pay $4,000 to in
sure peaceful labor relations on
a painting job at Andrews Air
Force Base in 1851.
Tells Of Meetings.
He said he met on these occa-
sions with Mr.. Lowry, Boris
Baron. president of Metro Deco
rating Co., New York City. and
Howard Reale. former vice presi-
dent of Metro, the firm that had
the painting contract at An
drewS.
At the second meeting at the
Union Hall. Mr.. Moore said,
arrangements we're made for
paying the $4,000 in installments
Of $500 each month. Subse-
quently. he added, he learned
that the money was to be split
four ways, with $I25 each for
him. for Allen Dennery. o union
organizer; for Mr.. Lowry and
for the late Clarence H. Rhodes,
another business agent.
Final arrangements were made
at a third meeting in the Lee
House bar, Mr.. Moore said.

Mr.. Baron and Mr., ReaIe had
been equally emphatic that the
first meeting took place In the

Conviction in
Hotel Staying
Kitchen Loses PIeu
Against Credibility
OF Trial Witness

The q. s. Court Of Appeals for
the District Of Columbia today
upheld the second degree murder
conviction of Lawrence E.
Kitchen. 43-year-old cook and
dishwasher.
Kitchen was convicted last
year Of the fatal beating In a
Washington hotel room Of Lee
Hysan, II, a hotel clerk while
robbing Mr.. Hysan of clothing.
C0ntended Judge Erred.
On appeal. defense counsel
contended the trial Judge had
erred In refusing to allow the
recall Of q Government witness
for questioning in an effort to
impeach his credibility.
The defense had sought to
question the witness to show he
had once forfeited $25 collateral
for making a false report Of a
robbery.
The trial Judge, Walter M
Bastian. ruled that such ques-
ton on collateral issue for i'm
peachment could be allowed only
when a conviction of a witness
had occurred.
The Appellate Court upheld
Judge Bastian's ruling with the
comment ian election to for
felt collateral for violation OF
a police regulation is not q
conviction for crime"
Argues for Question.
On appeal, Kitchens attorney
argued that the question should
have been allowed on the theory
that the witness might have
reason to testify against Kitchen
because he might have been
seeking to shift blame from
himself.
In the false report case, II
was stated. the witness falsely
told police he'd been robbed OF
some Of his employers funds
when. in fact, it was alleged, he
had lost them gambling. Thus
1t was contended, his false re-
port putting on some one else
blame for an offense actually
committed by him" bears di-
rectly. on his credibility.
The opinion was split two-to-
one with the majority opinion
written by Judge E. Barr>s.
Prettyman and concurred in by
Judge Wilbur K. Miller. Judge
David L. Bazelon dissented and
accused his colleagues of illegal
hairsplitting."
