Detroit Papers
Publish Again

DETROIT, Sept. 26 (AP).-
Detroit's three big dailes to-
night published Sunday news
papers-the first editions since
a mailers' dispute halted pub
LEGATION Thursday.
Printers returned to their
Jobs at the News, the Times and
the Free Press after the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
obtained a United States Dis
trict Court order restraining
Detroit MailerS Local 40 from
picketing the three plants.
Local 40 is an affiliate of
the international Typographical
Union, which represents printers
at the three dailies. The papers
were shut down when printers
refused to cross the mailers'
picket lines.
At issue is an effort by Local
Az TO induce the Detroit News
paper Publishers Association
to ask the NLRB for another
bargaining election. The pub
fishers association, which rep
NresentS the three papers, has a
contract with the Independent
International Mailers Union
which defeated the ITU mail
ers in an election two years ago.
The publishers contend that
II the ITU mailers want an
other bargaining election it is
up to the union to ask the
NLRB for it.
The court order, handed
down by United States District
Judge Theodore Levin yester-
day, restraints picketing for five
. days. Judge Levin set Septem-
Der 80 for a hearing.

District Court
Case Backlog
Shows Decline
BY HOWARD DUTKIN
star star Writer

The backlog Of both civil
and criminal cases pending in
District Court was reduced
during fiscal 1859, a report re-
leased today shows.
The. report, issued by the
administrative Office of the
court. shows 1879 civil cases
pending in District Court at
the years end. This was a
decrease of 1862 from the 4,O4l|
cases pending at the end Of
the 1858 fiscal year. But while
the civil backlog cut was well
come. the figures show the de-
crease was less than that for
the preceding year when the
decrease was 483 cases.
That year started with a
backlog of 1921 cases. An ad-
ditional 5,732 were filed during
the year.
Criminal Backlog SIM"
The 1859 period opene 4
a backlog of 4,04l case 4
6,065 filed during the yea .th
6,227 settled.
The backlog on the criminal
side is negligible by comparison.
The pending case load was cut
by 10 with 482 cases pending
at the end of the fiscal year as
against SCI pending at the end
of fiscal 1858.
Nationally, United States
District Courts cut down on
their case loads by ga per cent
from $4,000 civil and criminal
cases awaiting trial at the end
of fiscal 1858 to 1850 at the
end of fiscal 1859.
But the backlog is still one of
the highest in history and is
heavier than the burden at the
end of either fiscal 1856 or
1857. The median time it took
in District Court here to dis
pose of a civil case from the
time of filing Of the complaint
was % months.
National Party Shown
This was about on a par with
IL other large metropolitan dis
trictS whose median time was
2l.9 months.
The past fiscal year marked
the first time the administra-
tive Office had figured median
times for the District of Co.
.lumbia. Hence. no comparison
with the preceding year was
available.
Local District Court officials
use different bases for comput-
ing statistics and their reports
tend to differ from those of the
administrative Office.
A further cut in the courts
backlog during fiscal 1860
would seem to be indicated
with the confirmation recently
Of Judges George E. Hart, jr..
and Leonard P. Walsh. Their
appointments bring the Dis
trict Court bench to full
strength. In addition, Judge
Joseph r. Jackson, a retired
judge of the United States
Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals has been sitting by
designation.
Figures on bankruptcy pro-
vided an interesting sidelight
with economic overtones.
Bankruptcies Rise
The number of bankruptcy
cases throughout the nation in
fiscal 1859 reached an all-time
high of 100,672. This was
1904 greater than the 1855
figure.
The increase followed a ris-
ing pattern for the last five
years but the rate of increase
in fiscal 1859 dropped to 90
per cent compared with 24.3I
per cent in the preceding year.
Almost all Of the increase
came in the wage-earning en-
ploye class and non-business
groups. Only 11,729 business
bankruptcies were recorded.
A slight increase in bank
ruptcy filings was noted To-
cally. Fiscal 1859 bankruptcies
.totaled 104 as against 81 in
fiscal 1858.

Unjust Taxes
Called Menace
ToNation

HOT SPRINGS, Va, June 10,
The Federal tax system is
"self-contradictory and vicious
yl unjust. and Its drastic and
early reform Is absolutely es-
lsential," Representative Burr
p. Harrison Of Virginia warned
here today.
Addressing the Virginia
Bankers Association In con-
vention at The Homestead, Mr.,
HARRISON said the need for tax
reform is not new but that II
has taken on added urgency.
I'm large part. this stems
from the fact that there are
abnormal and evil descrimina-
tions between citizens Of the
same income as TO who must
pay the cruel rates made neces-
sary by the dangerous inter-
national situation and the de-
mand Of the people for ex-
panded domestic activities OF
the Federal Government" de-
clared Mr.. Harrison. who Is
Virglnia's member cf the House
Ways and Means Committee
where tax legislation must
originate.
with our present tax sys-
tenn. how would we finance any
sudden emergency demands by
the Federal fo"ernment?" he
asked the bankers.
Further increases in tax
rates above the present un-
realistic level seem unthink-
able" he said. I'VE could fall
back on the old easy way out
further deficit financing
only this method is no longer
easy.
The refusal Of people to
buy the bonds Of their Govern
ment has brought us even to-
day 70 a serious problem In
Government credit. II. in an
emergency. we fell back on debt
financing, the infiationary con-
sequences would be grave be-
yond imagination. Therefore,
we are face to face With an
inexorable fact that unless we
have tax reform, a sudden
emergency will produce econ
omic disaster to the Nation"

Conservatism Apparent
Sure. these are generaliza-
tions and some appear con-
Trajectory. Yet. there's more
than q pinch Of truth to each.
For instance:
You can see the basic con-
servatism In the fact that
women are by far the dominant
owners Of such traditional blue
chips as Telephone. du Pont,
Eastman Kodak. The desire
to protect capital and to stick
TO the established corporation
Is obvious-and entirely proper
considering that many women
stockholders are widows who
must preserve their nesteggs.
At the same time, you car
see the gambling fringe in the
fact that the names OF women
dot the stockholder lists OF the
risky glamor companies. When
a woman goes for a gamble, she
goes!
You can see her preference
for men advisers in q compari-

that In most cases successful
