Showers Fail
To Stop Rush
In Yu|e Trade
But Crowds Favor
Big Stores Over
Specially Shops

blanket TO sales yesterday in
area speciality shops but not
in leading department stores.
Statesmen and managers of
the big stores reported business
was up to their expectations in
the District and outlying
branches.
The same thing held true
for gift shops offering a wide
range Of items. But the plant
of the shops specializing in a
few items was typified by a
small shop owner: The de-
partment stores where the
housewife can go in, take of
her coat and spend the day
shopping for a variety of items
do all right in this rain," he
said. But my sales are of 10
per cent"
Statesmen in small shops
along F street took a similar
view, estimating the crowd was
about Is per cent less than
expected. The rain does sep
arate the buyers from the
lockers. though" said one
salesman there
Small Items Move
Business in big appliances
was reported slow with all the
traffic in small items.
A mems store salesman at
Seven Corners, Virginia. also
said the preponderance of busi-
ness was in small items like ties
and Scarfs rather than suits.
He estimated business, because
of the rain, was about 10 per
cent below expected volume.
Stores specializing in luggage,
shoes, evening gowns or musi-
cal instruments all agreed that
rain had dampened the en-
thusiasm of Christmas shop
pers.
Unusual items selling fast
this year, according to store
personnel, include bongo drums
and aluminium Christmas trees
A salesman in a five and ten
said, aluminium Christmas
trees are what everybody wants
and nobody's got"
The crowds walking the
streets in the Districts down
town shopping area varied
from bundled-up women scow-
ing into the rain to a man in a
gray flannel suit walking COM
pletely unprotected as II he
were passing through a hotel
lobby.
ChiIdren's Plea
Children had all they could
do to see through the line of
adults looking into Christmas
displays in store windows. One
child protested: Why don't
you big people let us See."
The uniform of the day for
teen-age girls seemed to be pin
curriers' under a kerchief and
black leotards. Men wearily
walked the streets, children in
arm. One father felt stumped
when his boy looked into the
Christmas lights in front of a
department store and asked:
Daddy, how can those candles
stay lit in the rain?"
The rain clearly spelled bad
business for panhandlers. The
wet streets appeared clear of
them.
The police department, how
ever. supplied some sunlight
yesterday for all those down.
town hurt by the rain. Inspec-
tor William j. Liverman of the
Traffic Division said overall
volume of shoppers is up IS to
20 per cent this year in the
downtown area.
AS for traffic, he said that is
up so per cent in the downtown
area bound by 18th, 9Th, K

125 men to handle this flow of

Peiping Asks
Soviet, Britain
Toad in Laos

TOKYO. May rs (AP). -
Communist China today asked
1.-THE Soviet Union and Britain
to stop the royal Laotian army
from disarming a rebellious
Communist battalion holed UP
lin North Laos.
Peiping radio said the action
by the royal government con-
stituted a breach Of the 1854
Geneva armistice which ended
1.-THE Indo-C China war. The sp-
peal was made to Russia and
britain because they were CO.
chairmen of the armistice con-
ference.
The Chinese Communists
also requested the two powers
to re-activate the international
watchdog commission for Laos,
which disbanded after peace
agreement was reached last
year between the royal govern
ment and the Communist Pa
tibet Lao rebels.
Red Chinese Foreign Minister
Chen vi made his requests in
notes to Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrea A. Gromyko and
British Foreign Secretary Sell
lwyn Lloyd, who are attending
1.-THE Big Four conference on
Germany in Geneva.
1t seemed unlikely, however.
THAT any action would be taken.
The Communists have charged
violations of the Indo- China
larmistice before and appealed
flor Britain and Russia to act,
but the two big powers have
mot been able to agree.
Mr.. Chen also accused the
royal government Of disregard
ling the Geneva agreements by
surrounding homes of leaders
of the Neo Lao Haksat party
the political group organized
by former Pathet Lao men,
berS.
The Royal Laotian army and
one Communist battalion of
former Pathet Lao forces are

Hostess Rushes to Aid Pilot
When Door Of Plane Opens

PRESCOTT. Ariz. May IS
NP).-A pert little airlines
hostess with a yen for excite
ment found enough to last ne
4 lifetime" when she rushed to
the aid OF q pilot she believed IN
danger Of death.
Carolyn Hanna. 20, Of Dem
yer, grabbed a Frontier Airlines
pilot and held on grimly when
she thought he was about to
be swept into the sky by sue
ton from an open door.
But the pilot, Capt. George
Graham, 36, Of Phoenix, said.
Il was not In danger at any
time. Air from the outside
rushed in and knocked me
backward. The stewardess did
q fine Job Of handling the pas
sengers and there was no
panic"
The l10-pound hostess. who
said she's been hoping for some
excitement since joining the
airlines four months ago, found
the excitement more than a
mile above this Northern ARR
zona city.
It all started when a passen-
ger door on the DC-3 suddenly
whipped open. Capt. Graham
struggled in vain to close 1t.
Several passengers on the Dem
ver-to-Phoenix flight thought
he was caught in the grip Of
suction.
MY heart stopped when I
saw him so close to that door.
I grabbed his arm" Miss Hanna
said.
Both fell to the floor. She
anchored herself by wrapping
her other arm around the bot
tom part Of a seat.
Capt. Graham, unable to close
the door, then moved back to
take the controls from co-pilot
Wesley Morris and, despite the
door banging and bouncing on
the runway, made a perfect
emergency landing at the Pres
colt Airport.

Rogers Urges Action
On Anti-Rockets Bill

! have Offset the effect Of re-
strictions on interstate trans
portation of gambling devices
by developing foreign markets.
In labor racketeering cases,
proposed legislation would
grant immunity to needed wit
nesses who now claim self
determination.
Mr.. Rogers explained that
the close connection between
offenses prescribed in the
Hobbs Act and those in the
Taft Hartley Act" often in
hibits cooperation with law
enforcement officers"
The Hobbs Act makes it un-
lawful to interfere with COM
merce by robbery or extortion.
The Taft-Hartley Act forbids
an employer in an industry af-
fecting commerce to pay money
or make gifts to representatives
of his employees under circum-
stances that would constitute
| a bride.
So. an employer victimized by
labor extortion might be re-
luctant to testify in a Hobbs
Act case for fear of incriminat-
ing himself under the Taft
Hartley Act. The Justice De-
partment proposal would clear
the way to give him immunity
from prosecution if he testif1es
Another proposal would make
gamblers pay more taxes-oI
else. The bill would deny GER
tain tax deductions to persons
engaged in illegal activities
such as gambling.

A three-pronged legislative
program aimed at giving the
Federal Government more
weapons in the war against
organized crime and racketeer-
ing was sent to Congress today.
Attorney General William P
Rogers urged early congress
sional action on the Justice De-
partment's proposals to get at
the "racketeers who operate
through co-ordinated syndicates
across State and even national
boundaries"
The proposed legislation is
aimed specifically at gamblers
and labor racketeers. Among
other things. the bills would
compel unwilling witnesses to
testify and strike the gamblers
where they can be hurt most
in their pocketbooks.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-25
Costs $40 Billion

Mr.. Rogers wrote the Vice
President and the Speaker of
the House that crime is costing
American taxpayers $40 billion
annually-second only to the
cost of national defense.
Although law enforcement is
primarily a State and local
matter, he wrote. Federal as
sistance is essential in many
aspects of fighting. He
specifically proposed these
measures to bolster State eff
forts in Kidding the country OF
syndicated crime:
The 1851 law forbidding the
interstate transportation OF
any gambling device" which
now applies to slot machines
would be broadened to Include
other devices manufactured
primarily Tor gambling pur-
poses.
More detailed records would
have to be kept on the manu-
facture and sale of the gam
bling devices, with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation given
the right to inspect and copy
these records.
The proposals would provide
for granting immunity to per-
sons who claim the Fifth
Amendment in Federal gam
bling cases. Thus law enforce
ment officers could compel un'
derlings to give them informa'
ton needed to reach the uppel
echelons of crime syndicates.

State OK's
.City'sFood
.Insp peetions

A highlight Of the annual
report of the East Cleveland
Sanitation Department, as filed
by it's director, Stanley Slejko,
is the approval of the State
Department of Health of it's
Food Service program.
Under this policy each food
service establishment is visit
ed at least twice a year with
a written report of each visit
placed on file, plus at least two
or more re-inspections, as the
situation may require. The en-
tire program was carefully
checked by the state.
In addition to places where
food is handled, barber and
beauty shops, theatres and
transportation stations come in
for inspection.
Inspection of gasoline sta
tions, the report indicates,
found practically every gas
tank now equipped with anti
drain valves to insure correct
fluid measurement. SO such in
stallations were made in 1853.
Another highlight of the
year was the quick breakdown
of the source of a dangerous,
ornament, imported from the
Caribbean Islands. Through
story carried in the East Cleve-
land Leader, the Sanitation
Department was able to appre-
hend the buyers responsible for
shipping the dangerous items
into this territory.
Every city has a more or less
rodent problem. In the past
three years extra effort has
been made to overcome the To-
cal situation. The number of
complaints last year dropped
almost 200, and, says Mr.. Slej-
ko, most Of the complaints came
from sections of the city where
the rodents had not ventured
before. These sections were
then given extra attention and
the nuisance was gradually les
sened.
During the year SO pictures
were taken Of outstanding
health violations and ten per-
sons who failed to meet state
or local regulations were sum-
moned before the prosecutor.

Brahms Work At
First Presbyterian

The presentation Of Johannes
Brahams' great work, "The
German Requiem" by the choir
of the First Presbyterian
Church of East Cleveland on
Good Friday Evening, March
9th, follows strict historical
precedent in that it was first
performed in the Cathedral of
Bremen, Germany, on Good Fri
day, 1868.
This Work." says Mr.. Frank
Helfrich, choir director at First
Presbyterian, "is regarded as
one Of the masterpieces of the
German composer who lived
from 1883 to 1897. Originally
conceived as a memorial to his
close friend and musical con-
sultant, the late Robert Schu-
mann, it ultimately became a
memorial to Brahms own moth
er who died in 1865.
Rather than following the
classical Latin Requiem Mass
of the Roman Catholic liturgy
Brahms selected passages from
the Bible and composed music
for the German text so that all
the hearers might better under
stand the message. The chief
stress is laid upon the uncer-
tain brevity of human life con-
trasted with the eternal calm
of the happy dead"
The program will be given in
the sanctuary, 16200 Euclid
ave., at 500 p. m. The soloists
will be: Ruby Helfrich, soprano
and Peter Spetseris, baritone
Mrs. Charlotte Tanno is the or
ganist, and Robert Pangborn
tympanist, will be the assisting
guest artist. Mr.. Frank Hell
frich will direct the program.
