White Woman
Wins Suit Against
Negro Newspaper

PETERSBURG. Va. Oct. q
CPl.-A Dinwiddie County Circuit
Court Jury returned verdict
of SIS. 900 yesterday against the
Afro-American Co. of Baltimore
in a libel suit brought by 81
year-old white woman.
Mrs. Aline owen had sought
$4,000 from the Negro news
paper publishing firm as a re-
suit of two articles and several
pictures which appeared in the
ro-American Virginia edi-
ton in October. 1852
She contended the articles
linked her Economically with
Arthur w. Mitchell, resident OF
Dinwiddie and former congress
man from Illinois. in a divorce
action brought by MI Mitchell's
wife. Mrs. owen said her good
name mad been injured as
result.
Judge Garland Jefferson ruled
the information taken from the
divorce petition was a privileged
document to the press. However
the jury returned a guilty ver-
dict on the ground the articles
contained obscene matter that
tended to bring shame and
Humiliation to Mrs. owen.
Mrs. Owen is a former resident
Of Dinwiddle.

U. S. Role Upheld
In WindfuII' Case

A request to remove the United
States Government as a plaintiff
in suits to recover about So mil
lion in "windfall profits" from
stockholders in Shirley Duke
Apartments was turned down
yesterday by Alexandria Federal
Court Judge Albert v. Bryan.
The suit was filed by the Fed
eral Housing Administration in
behalf of itself and the Shirley
Duke Corporations to which the
money would be returned. The
50 million distributed to %
stockholders represents the diff
ference between Government in
sured loans obtained by the de-
velopers and the actual con-
struction cost.
Carl Budwesky, attorney for
the stockholders, commended that
action to recover the funds
should be only between the
Shirley Duke Corporations and
the stockholders.
Government attorneys argued
that this was mot just a fight
between a private corporation
and private stockholders" Judge
Bryan upheld their contention
that FILA has an interest as
insurer of the mortgage and as
the agency charged with admin
istering the Federal Housing
Act under which the apartments
were authorized.

3 Bandits Get
$l,7O2 From
GroceryHeod

The president of District Gro
Gerry Stores, Inc, was robbed of
$1,7O2 by three masked gunner
who invaded his home last night
after he arrived from Wheaton
store.
Sam Klein of 2601 Dawson ave-
nue., Wheaton, told Montgomery
County police he was in the
kitchen eating about l0:4O
O'Clock when the gunner stepped
into the room after entering the
house through a side door. Two
had their faces covered with
Halloween masks and one with
a handkerchief.
A spokesman for the trio. all
of whom were armed, demanded
he go back to the store he had
Just left at 11443 Georgia ave-
nue., Wheaton, and get some
money.
Mr.. Klein said he told them
the money was at home in his
coat pocket. The bandits ordered
him to get the money. Mr.. Klein
said He said they then forced
him and his 11-year-old son who
had entered the kitchen during
the proceedings, to lie on the
floor. Mrs. Klein, who also had
come downstairs. was allowed
to sit in a chair after her hus-
band told the gunner she suf-
fered from asthma.
The grocer said the trio left
the same way they came in. 'Po-
lice have broadcast a lookout
for three white men in their
late teens or early 2OS.

Almond Urges
Party Support

RICHMOND. Oct. 81 P).-
Virginia's Attorney General
called for Democrats in the State
yesterday to unite behind their
party's nominees and Strive
within the ranks "for reforms
which we desire and for the
principles in which we believe. "
j. Lindsay Almond. jr., made
the plea for party unity in a
recorded radio address broadcast
last night over station WMVA
at Martinsville.
States Rights presidential
candidate T. Coleman Andrews
carried his campaign into Tide
water Virginia. He told a Nor
folk States Rights rally last
night the third party was not
out to curtail the vote of either
major party candidate but ito
get votes" for itself.
Meanwhile, Republicans and
Eisenhower Democrats pushed
preparations for President Eli
senhower's visit to the Richmond
area Monday.
President Eisenhower is sched-
uled to stop at Richmond's Byrd
Airport Monday for a 4:40 pm
address.
In calling for support of the
Democrats full ticket, Mr.. AL
mond conceded to his radio au-
dience there are many things
in the platforms of both parties
and many things to be found in
the utterances and the philoso-
ply Of their respective candi-
dates. which many of us do not
approve.
But he said he was convinced
"the people of Virginia would
best serve their own interests
and those of this State and Ma

Record
Value Of Seniority
Stressed in Address

The value of congressional
seniority was defended last night
by Republican Representative
Joel T. Broyhill in a singing
attack obviously directed at his
Democratic opponent. Warren
d. Quenstedt.
Representative Broyhill MAIN
tanned his policy of ignoring the
opposition by name, but there
was no doubt about whom he
was talking during another in
his series of television broadcasts
over station WTTG.
"One of the candidates in
suits your intelligence by sug-
costing that you are incapable
Iof judging whether your Con-
gresham has been a good Con-
Gresham or bad Congress-
man." said Mr.. Broyhill. He
repeatedly infers that only he
lis qualified to review and in
terpret the record"
The G. o. P. incumbent went
on: Nov We come to another
Iof the untruthful statements of
this avid candidate. He tells
you that the seniority I have
built up in the Congress in four
years of service is of no conse-
Iquence. l suggest that instead
of taking my word for it. you
ask member of the House or
.Senate-Democrat or Republi-
.can-or a person working on
Capitol Hill who is more familiar
with congressional procedure
than this candidate is"
Representative Broyhill noted
that he was the eighth ranking
Republican on the House Post
Office and Civil Service Com
mittee, and the 10th ranking
Republican in the House District
Committee. He said this stand
ing gave him the opportunity to
head subcommittee handling
legislation vital to 10th district
residents.
