Firm Cleared
In Debt Hoax

Municipal Court Judge John
Lewis Smith. jr.. yesterday ac-
Quilted a downtown store, It's
president and an employe Of
committing disorderly conduct
by telephone.
But he called the collection
practices OF Marvins Credit,
Inc. 734 Seventh street NV.
"eruel. reprehensible and COM
pletely unJustined."
Acquitted by the judge were
Marvins' president Daniel A.
Hammock and Albert Halpert,
an employee.
A former Marvins employe.
Alphonso Kyles Of SCOT South
Dakota avenue NE. testified
he called a neighbor OF Leroy
Windsor. 5206 Forty-sixth ave-
nue.. Edmonston. Nd. on Feb
ruary 10.
Using the name Of DIR. Wea-
ver." he told the neighbor. Mr..
Windsor's wife had been in an
accident and was In Emergency
Hospital with rib and spine in
juries.
The purpose Of the call. Mr..
Kyles said. was TO find out the
correct address and occupation
of Mr.. Windsor. who owed
Marvins some money. The
former employee said he had
worked in the stores skip
tracing department"
The call resulted in a frantic
search by Mr.. Windsor and
members Of his family to find
Mrs. Windsor until they dis
covered 1t was a hoax.
Mr.. Kyles' testimony pro-
duced some heated exchanges
between Assistant Corporation
Counsel Clark King and defense
attorney Abraham Chaifetz,
who also made frequent objec-
tons TO the witness willingness
TO answer questions that had
not been asked.
Mr.. Chaifetz contended Mr..
Kyles was fired as soon as COM
pany officials heard Of the in
cident. He asked the witness II
he had made q deal" with Mr..
King to testify for the Gov
eminent so he would not be
prosecuted himself.
Both Mr.. King and Mr.. Kyles
vehemently denied this. The
defense attorney called the
situation the most outrageous
case OF collision I've ever
SEEN"
He called Mr.. KyleS "the
guilty party" and noted that
Mr.. Hammock was actually in
Florida on February 10.
In his testimony, Mr.. Kyles
admitted he had not received
any specific instructions to pose
as a DIR. Weaver" but he said
it was common practice for
everyone in his department at
Marvins to use aliases.
Mr.. Chaifetz moved for the
acquittal after the Govern
ment concluded its case. He
contended it was impossible to
commit disorderly conduct by
telephone under the wording Of
the governing statute and that
neither the corporation nor any
of its officers was in any way
connected with Mr.. Kyles'
action.
Mr.. King said that the COM
pany was responsible for the
incident which, he said. could
have led to a breach Of the
peace. Therefore. it qualified
as disorderly conduct, he MAIN

Negroes Want
Decent HOUSING
Says Writer

Not a week will go by, this
year or next without some Ne
gro family facing physical harm,
property damage or loss of en-
ployment because of efforts to
secure equality of housing OPP
portunityn, writes Carl Rowan in
the August issue of Ebony.
The housing market, says the
prize-winning reporter and au-
thor, more than anything else IN
the nation stands as a symbol
of racial inequality, and hous-
ing is the one commodity that
mo Negro, however renowned,
can buy on a free md open
market,
The great mass of Negroes re-
main sealed off In a world of
cultural, social, and economic
isolation, because court invaii-
dated restrictive covenants have
been replaced by conspiracy
techniques of demagoguery and
intimidation by northern count
erparts of Dixie's white citizens
councils.
Rowans article, why Negroes
Move Into White Neighborhoods"
tells of the Negroes need and de-
sire for decent housing, and
overcoming the lack of freedom
to move. He cites the crowded
conditions in northern cities and
says of some of the worst areas

Pasternak Free
 To Take Prize, Says Krenlin

LONDON, R, - The Soviet news agency Tass said Saturday Boris Pasternak is free to leave Russia to receive the Nobel Prize.
 The statement followed a Tass announcement that Pasternak had written Soviet Premier Khrush- chev stressing his ties with Rus sia and acknowledging he may have committed errors. ei
 The statement said:, tH
 "In connection with the letter from Pasternak to Khrushchev, Tass is authorized to state that no obstacles will be placed by the Soviet state authorities if Faster nak expresses his wish to- go abroad to receive the prize awar- ded to him. f7s la. r..
 "The reports spread by the bourgeois press to the effect that Pasternak was allegedly refused the right to go abroad are crude fabrication" .i- a''.--3 ..--.-.
 This is the text of a Tass re- port broadcast in Russian:i; eici.
 "On the 31st of October Boris Pasternak addressed a letter to Khrushchev, in which he says that he has informed the Swedish Academy of his voluntary refusal to accept the Nobel Prize.
 ''Pasternak says that he is bound to Russia by his birth, his life and work and that he cannot wis ualize his fate apart from her.
 "'Whatever my mistakes and errors may have been,' the letter says, I could not imagine that I would find myself in the midst of such political campaign which has been famed around my name in the Vest"
 The letter followed a frenzied campaign waged against Faster nak by the Soviet press and radio.

TAIPEI, LR - Communist guns opened up on the Quemoys today with the heaviest bombardment in seven weeks.
 The Nationalist Defense Min istry said 36,431 shells hit the is- lands between noon and pm.
 The ministry said the shelling later dwindled to sporadic pep pering fire. That was the highest shell count since September II.
 The firing included $500 rounds on the Little Tan Islets, which are far more vulnerable to invasion than Quemoy and Little Quemoy.
 It was the hardest shelling these little dots of land had taken since the offshore island scrapping be- gan August 23 Nationalist defen- ders on the Fans live entirely underground.

Air Force To Launch Third Moon Rocket
WASHINGTON, R

WASHINGTON, R n The United States will launch its third Air Force lunar probe wi thin a week or so, the National Aeronautics and Space Admins tration announced today.
 The official announcement was coupled with a formal estimate that the third effort has lone in 25" chances of reaching the vici- nifty of the moon.
 NASA declined to say on the record when the third moon shot will be attempted. Standard ref erence books that set forth the phases of the moon and the times of the year when it is relatively nearer the earth indicate the best time to shoot for the moon would come up in the period of three or four days starting November 2.
 At a news conference, Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy administrator of the NASA, cautioned against any great optimism about the shoot.
 'If we are very fortunate, we may achieve trajectory and velo- city control sufficient to position the probe in the vicinity of the moon," he said.

Vice President Urges Support Of Foreign Policy And COP Candidates

, ANCHORAGE, R - Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon urged again Saturday night support of Eisenhower Administration foreign policy and the election of Repub- ican candidates who believe in 1t.
 Nixon in 3O-minute television talk here, spoke immediately after a news broadcast which reported former President Harry Truman said the Administration had made a mess of foreign policy.
 The Vice President, speaking informally and without notes, said he admired Truman for fighting for what he believes. But he added:
 "Mr. Truman should be an ex- pert on making a mess of things F. when we took over the Admin istration we were at war"
 Nixon said the Administration had ended the war in Korea, and by its firm stand against Communist aggression since has kept the United States at peace.
 He called the policy peace with out surrender - and he told audi ences both here and at Juneau that the policy had worked.
 While defending criticism of the Administration foreign policy, Nixon made strong appeals for the election in Alaska of Republicans in the first State elections here November 25.
 His strongest support was given to former Governor Mike Stepo- vich, 39, COP nominee for one of two U. S. Senate seats that will be open to Alaska.
 Equally strong endorsement went to Territorial Senator John Butrovich, Jr., AS, who is fighting an uphill battle for governor.
 Stepovich introduced the Vice President at Saturday night ral- ly attended by an estimated 1,700 persons who did not quite fill the plush Anchorage High School auditorium.

WASHINGTON, R - The 1858 battle for control of Congress ta- pered off today with Democrats happily predicting massive vic tory and Republicans hoping and working for a last-minute upset.
 Some 48 million Americans will decide at the polls tomorrow which side is right in the back wash of campaign that focused more on personalities than on any gripping national issues.
 A state-by-state survey by the Associated Press, updated through Sunday, showed Democrats fav- ored to capture 8 to 12 COP seats in the Senate and IT to 40 or more in the House, with a good chance to gain a couple of governorships as well.
 Prospects of a strong Demo- cratic upsurge brought President Eisenhower out fighting during the campaign. From coast to coast he blasted the Democrats as left wing dominated "gloomdogglers' too divided over civil rights and

Bear-Chasing In Tennessee

MEMPHIS, Tenn, R m When Harry Wulff saw a big, black crea- creature scamper from his garage, he thought it was dog.
 But when the animal started climbing a tree, Wulff knew it was a bear. He called police and the zoo.
 The bear made it to the roof of Wulff's house, where he outwitted his pursuers for several hours.
 Finally a zoo worker, John An derson, lassoed the 400-pound bear, which was hauled off to a zoo. Zoo officials said the animal had not escaped from there.
