1.-The American Legion and
Americans for Democratic Ac-
tion disagreed yesterday on leg
islation dealing with subversive
activity.
The Legion supported a group
OF bills designed to plug what
their sponsors contend are holes
in the Nations security and
passport laws resulting from
Supreme Court decisions.
ADA, an organization Of lib
erals. opposed the bills.
John S. Mears, legislative
representative Of the Legion,
and Joseph L. Rauh, jr, a vice
chairman of ADA, gave their
views to the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee.
Several proposals before the
subcommittee would allow the
States to enforce antisubversive
statutes. The Supreme Court
has ruled that Congress, in en-
acting the Smith anti-Commu-
MIST law in 1910, had reserved
the entire field for the Federal
Government. go

would broaden the Smith Act
and permit the Secretary of
State to deny passports to &C

Bar Association.
To strike a blow at commu-
nism Mr.. Rauh said. the Sem
ate would do better by passing
an altogether different bill that
would supply legal tools for
carrying out the school de-
segregation decisions.
Roger Fisher, former assist
ant solicitor general who now
teaches law at Harvard, called
the passport measure unwise
and unconstitutional. Congress
would accomplish more, Mr..
Fisher said, by applying GRIM
inal laws to Americans who
commit subversive acts abroad.

Druggists Say
Shop Cenfers
Favor Chains

Two Washington area drug
gists complained yesterday TO
"a Senate committee that they
have been frozen out OF new
shopping centers by favoritism
toward big drug chains.
Harold M. Goldfeder, who
operates 10 drug stores in
Washington, Virginia and
Maryland, and Samuel Morris,
a one-store operator in Silver
Spring, appeared before a Sem
ate group considering alleged
discrimination by shopping
center developers against small
businessmen.
Mr.. Goldfeder charged that
despite good credit standing
and business success, he had
been unsuccessful in seeking
shopping center leases. And
Mr.. Morris told of fruitless
negotiations with a developer
now building a center across
the street from his store at
1924 New Hampshire avenue.
The developer chose a major
chain instead, he said.

said prefer the big chains.
Their testimony was supported
by James Allen, Washington

of the National Association of
Wholesalers.

Alexandria'S police dog made
his first capture yesterday af-

stop a burglary suspect with
pistol shots, police reported.
King, a black German shep-
herd, was credited with track
ing down a suspect who, police
said, probably would have es-
capped otherwise. The capture
led to another arrest a short
time later, police said.
Kings first case started
when Mrs. Anna Ballard, l06
Commerce street, heard the
crash of glass and saw a man
crawling out a broken window
at the Goodyear Service Store,
1902 King street, carrying a
television set.
She called police. When they
arrived, the man put the tele-
vision set on the ground and
ran. Pvts. Charles Gallagher
and Jack Smith ran after the
suspect. When he failed to halt
at their commands, they fired a
total of six shots. The man
was not hit.
When the policemen realized
the man had eluded them, they
called Pvt. Cecil Kesler, Kings
trainer. He brought the police

Bourd of Elections
In Reversal OKs
Primary Choice
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star stan Writer

The District Board of Elec-
tions today reversed its posi-
ton and decided to permit
direct preference voting on
candidates for presidential
nomination at the May 3 elec-
ton here.
The effect of this decision
will be to transform the Dis
trict primary from an indirect
presidential preference elec-
ton to a direct one.
This is expected to heighten
interest in the vote and to
speed counting of the ballots.
At the election, registered
Republicans and Democrats
will vote separately on poten-
tial candidates for presidential
nomination by their respective
parties.
Vote Is Split
The board of elections
agreed by 81 vote to permit
the political parties to place
on the ballot a question which
will give the voters an oppor-
tunity to express their prefer
ence on candidates for the
presidential nomination.
Dissenting was Joseph Fair
banks. board chairman, one of
the two Republicans on the
board.
Mr.. Fairbanks explained that
his objection was based on the
fact that he questions the le-
gality of permitting a direct
presidential preference pri-
mary here.
The two board members who
voted to authorize the direct
question were West Hamilton,
q Republican. and Charles H.
Mayer, a Democrat.
Hamilton Switches
Mr.. Hamilton was the key
man in the decision, as he had
voted against the direct ques-
ton in 1856.
Both Carl Shipley, chairman
Of the District Republican
State Central Committee, and
A. L. Wheeler, chairman Of
the District Democratic State
Central Committee, have re-
quested that the board permit
the direct presidential prefer
ence question.
Also to be elected on May 8
are delegates to the respective
national political conventions,
national committeeman and
committeewomen, and local
party committee members.

the Greek people had watched
his journey so far with deep
emotion.
In reply, Mr.. Eisenhower
noted the long history of Greek

In many wayS-playing Of
national anthems, a 2l-gun sa-

handshaking with local digni-
taries and diplomats-the well
coming ceremony was similar
to those Mr.. Eisenhower has
received in the six other coun-
tries he has visited on his 22,-

Greeks, led by tens of thou
