fair trade assert that q
maintained price would pro-
tect the customer from de-
ception by loss leader sales,
i.e., If one product is sold as
a loss leader in a mass dis
tribution chain store, the
buyer is led to believe that
everything in that store is
sold as a bargain. Please,
this greatly overstresses the
gullibility Of the American
consumer, especially at a
time when the cost Of living
index is approaching all
time highs. Besides, may not
the customer be more de-
ceived by simple advertising
than loss leader sales?
We are also led to believe
that fair trade is needed
simply to keep the small
businessman alive. But en-
pirical evidence has not
borne this out. Fair trade. in
effect, makes for a monopoly
of small businessmen, not
the big ones, which works to
the detriment Of the con-
sumer.
There is no need for fair
trade laws. What is needed
to prevent unfair COMPETE
ton is something along the
line of minimum markup
laws which would also incor-
porate some sort of legiti-
mate cost accounting system.

The trouble lies in the plain

not move, unless someone

On his own initiative, he

In this way, he manages to
eat liver at least once q

persimmon pudding!
So writes E. M. C. Of Hy-
attsville, who says:
This and That is my
favorite column in The Star,
and I find a meeting of
minds in almost every subject
except persimmons.
'Persimmons are the basis
for some very delectable
dishes. Have you ever eaten

gods.
I'm the fall if you, own a

An Appeal to Reason

MOI one person mas appeared IN
opposition to the bill providing two adj
ditional judges for the grievously over
burdened Juvenile Court
On the contrary, without exception.
every spokesman for agencies concerned
with law enforcement in the Nations
Capital has urgently Endorsed the meas
ure. The list of these is imposing: The
United States Court of Appeals. the
Municipal Court of Appeals, the District
Commissioners, the United States At
torney, the Corporation Counsel. the
Chief of Police, the Law Enforcement
Council, the Bar Association, the Crimi-
nal Justice Association, the judicial
Conference Of the District, the Juvenile
Court Advisory Board, the Board of
Trade and the League of Women Voters.
In all this array not voice has been
raised against the BILL Instead. each
and every spokesman has stressed the
critical need for its prompt adoption.
The Senate, which passed the bill
months ago, agrees. All Of the members
Of 9 House District subcommittee which
has been studying the measure are in
favor Of it. They would like to vote for
1t. But the subcommittee chairman,
Representative Davis Of Georgia. holds
out--one man against an entire COM
munity; one man against an overwhelm-
ing majority in Congress.
This Is q paradox. For Judge Davis
has been a sincere and long time cham
pion Of better law enforcement He
knows that more juvenile judges are
needed. It was he who introduced and
obtained passage Of comparable bill
last year. Yet he has not been willing
to let this bill be called up for a vote.
And time is running out. 4
Judge Davis speaks OF a desire for
thorough study and perhaps an over
haul Of the Juvenile Court operation.
Such study is desirable; in fact. 1t is
already being made. Any overhaul of
the Juvenile Court, however, is neces-
sartly long-terin project. 1t may take
years. But the need for the additional
Judges is something that is pressing in
on this community right now. Eventu-
ally overhaul or no overhaul, they will
have to be provided. If they are not
provided 1t will mean q progressive de-
terioration in the ability Of the Juvenile
Court to cope with this Capital City's
ever worseningE juvenile delinquency
problem, Of which there Is frightening
evidence.
In this situation II. is appropriate,
even though it may be futile, to address
an appeal to reason. Judge Davis and
the House leaders are reasonable men.
They know that these judges are needed
and needed now. They know break
down is impending In a vital segment
Of law enforcement in this community
because one Judge cannot possibly handle
even the volume--not to mention the
needed improvement --of the courts
work. We cannot believe that Judge
Davis or the House leadership really
wants to be responsible for the disgrace
full and deplorable results which surely
will now from failure to act on this
5udgeship bill - and the time to act
is now.

THE POLITICAL MILL
RockefeIier's Political Timetable

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel-

overt move toward q Repub-
lican presidential nomination
until after the Khrushchev-
Eisenhower visits here and in
Moscow. In the opinion Of
recent visitors at the Cover
nor's New York headquar-
tiers. He may never make
such an overt move, but in
the view Of many Republican
leaders the New York Gov
ernor eventually will become
an announced candidate.
In the meantime. Gov.
Rockefeller goes his smiling
way saying. II am not q can
didate." The belief is growing
that only one thing would
keep him out Of the presiden-
tial race-disability Of Presi-
dent Eisenh o err, which
would remove Mr.. Eisen-
hover from office and place
Vice President Nixon In the
White House.
Gov. Rockefeller and an
able staff are exploring every
angle Of the political situa-
ton in all parts Of the coun-
try. Nothing could be more
revealing, indeed. than the
Governors recent visit to
Washington, where he talked
politics with Senator Styles
Bridges. Republican power
house in New Hampshire,
scene of the first presidential
primary early next March.
and where friends Of the New
Yorker have tentative plans
for entering a delegate slate
favorable to him. The fact
that Senator Bridges has
been known as a supporter Of
Vice President Nixon did not
deter the Governor.
Not long before his WASH
ington visit, Gov. Rockefeller
conferred with Carl Shipley,
Republican Chairman of the
District of Columbia. on the
primaries for the election Of
delegates to the Republican
National Convention n ext
May. Mr.. Shipley was re-
quested to visit Gov. Rookie
Teller by Roswell Perkins, the
Governors counsel. Mr..
Shipley found the Governor

cincts in the District of CO.

preston that he might
run well If a slate of dele
gates was entered for him.

offered to arrange the filing
of any slate the Governor
would name. At the same
time, Mr.. Shipley said he was

JOE BROWN MAY DEFEND

Albuquerque, N. M. CAMP -
There is strong belief that world
lightweight champion Joe Brown
will defend his title sometime in
December but his opponent and
the exact date and site have not

The word came from Lou Wis

that talks were under way to select
an opponent for the defense. He
made the statement while Brown
was in town to fight Joe Parks of
Omaha, Nebr., in an overweight,
non-title fight.
Two possible challengers are
said to be in the offing. They are
Carlos Ortiz, New York, who won
the recently reactivated world
Junior welterweight crown, and
Dave Charnley Of England.
Meanwhile, Brown continues tc
hammer away at opponents. He
