Do Americans start to eat

their baby carriages?
The hazards of adult fatness
and their effect on life expec-
fancy already are we'll known,
Stanley M. Garn writes in a
publication of the 1860 White
House Conference on Children
and Youth.
Now it appears that more
and more children are getting
fat, too, he says.

However, Mr.. Purvis was best

In an interview last August

Mr.. PurVis explained that he

He said he lit a cigar when
Dillinger walked out of a Chi

that this was the man.

Other agents then closed in
and shot the desperate after he
apparently reached for a gun.
Mr.. Purvis, who at that time
was chief of the FBTs Chicago
bureau, also played a major
role in the capture of Pretty

President Names
Board, Delaying
Railroad Strike

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 29
(AP). - President Eisenhower
today created a three-man
emergency board to block a
New York Central Railroad
strike set for Wednesday. The
Eisenhower action, announced
shortly after his arrival in San
tiago, has the effect of holding
up the strike for so days.
Membership of the board
will be announced later. White
House Press Secretary James
c. Hagerty told newsmen.
Mr.. Eisenhower acted under
provisions of the National
Railway Labor Act. He set up
the board and ordered an in
vestigation after concluding
that the strike would deprive
a section of the country of es-
sential transportation service.
The board is required to re-
port its findings to the Presi-
dent within 30 days. Law pro-
hibits the strike for still an
other 80 days after the report

Price Fixing in Drugs
Hit by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled to-
day that Parke-Davis and Co.
violated the antitrust laws in
1856 in seeking to cut of sales
Of its pharmaceutical products
to discount drug stores in
Washington and Richmond.
The 6-3 decision reversed the
finding of a United States Dis
trict Court here and substan-
TALLY toughened the Sherman
Act as a weapon against price
fixing.
The drug firm stopped selling
directly to five discount drug
outlets in mid-1956 because of
their price-cutting practices.
Dart Drug Co., which began
the deep price-cutting, had
been cut of by Parke-Davis but
still obtains the company'S
products through wholesalers.
Boycott Charged
Parke-Davis made no further
effort to control retail prices
locally since the seven-week
period when it asked its whole
salers to follow its own policy
OF cutting of the offending
stores.
The Justice Department
charged in filing the antitrust
suit that the drug house ar
ranged an organized boycott of
the price-cutters. Judge Joseph
R. Jackson ruled in District
Court. however, that there had
been no violation of the Sher-
man Act.
A senior judge of the United
States Court of Customs and
Patent Appeals, Judge jackson
was sitting in District Court by
special designation to hear the
case.

In on DiIIinger Killing

FLORENCE, S. c., Feb. 20
(AP) Melvin Purvis, one of
the FBI team which shot Gun
man John Dillinger in the 1930s,
was found dead at his home
today of a self-inflicted pistol
shot.
Mr.. Purvis, president of the
Florence Broadcasting Co., op-
Grating VOLS in Florence. had
been home i'll with what had
been diagnosed as flu for the
last week and a half.
His Office said he came down
with the flu in Washington
three weeks ago. He had been
there, his Office said, in con-
nection with work as chief
counsel of the United States
Senate Judiciary Committee on
Recommendations for Improve
ment in the Administrations of
Federal Justice.
Coroner William T. Eaddy
ruled it was a self-infiicted
wound under the jaw.
Found by Wife
Mr.. Purvis, Sc, was found
dead in the landing of an up
stairs hall in his home by his
wife. Mrs. Rosanne Purvis said
she was in the yard when a
shot sounded.
The Purvis' physician. DR.
Walter Meade, said Mr.. Purvis
had been depressed and in bad
health recently.
Mr.. Purvis was appointed
last August as chief counsel of
the Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee by Senator Johnston,
Democrat Of South Carolina, a
longtime personal friend and
admirer.
The Senator's Office said
Senator Johnston was "grieved
and upset" after hearing the
news of Mr.. PurviS' death.
Mr.. Purvis stayed at a hotel
while working here as the sub
committee counsel. Under a
special arrangement he re-
turned frequently to Florence.

Anti-Red Law
Upheld by Court
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court today
upheld California law requir-
ing dismissal of any public en-
ploye who refuses to say when
asked whether he is a member
of the Communist Party.
The law applies whether the
questions are asked by State
legislative or congressional in
vestigators.
The court ruled on a Joint

fired as Los Angeles County
social workers because they re-
fused in 1856 to tell the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities whether they were
Communist Party members.

Democrat of Georgia. chief
strategist for the Southerners

Johnson's request to have Sat-

But the Georgian offered no

Republican Leader Dirksen to

sion there would have been no

The Democratic leader said
an overwhelming Senate ma

insure others of their right to
vote" The Texan said the right
to vote for all qualified citizens
is the basis of "our political
democracy" and expressed hope
the Senate can come to a con-
clusion that will be "respon-
sible, meaningful and effective. "
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, where Southerners have
bottled up civil rights bills for
more than a year, met this
morning, but again adjourned
without considering any of the

The Supreme Court today or
dered the names of ''purged'
Negro voters restored to Loui-
siana voting rolls and came
within a legal inch of uphold
ing the constitutionality of the
1857 civil rights law.
The court unanimously up
held the order of Federal Dis
trict Judge J. Skelly Wright
of New Orleans for the voting
registrar of Washington Parish
to restore 1877 Negroes to the
rolls within 10 days.
In another unanimous ac-
ton the high court knocked
out a key Georgia challenge
to the constitutionality Of the
civil rights law and strongly
indorsed its most important
principles.

stitutionality of the law. hold

But. in a unanimous opinion
the Justices went a substantial
their full Endorsement.
Today's action removes a
barrier to Federal injunction
suits to force observance of
Negro voting rights in the
south.
The tribunal unanimously
threw out a ruling by Federal
Judge T. Hoyt Davis in Macon
Ga. that the 1857 Act gave un-
constitutional powers to the
attorney general.
Case Believed Easiest
The Justice Department felt
the Georgia case was the easiest
of four key civil rights cases
before the Supreme Court on
which to get a favorable deci-
sion. Most legal experts agreed
Federal Judge Davis had gone
far af1eld to raise the constitu-
tional issue.
He found the act unconsti-
tutional because it would per-
NIT civil suits against private
individuals as we'll as State
officials. This was not an issue
in the case, in which the Jus
the Department was suing
State voting registrars and
other Georgia officials for al
legged denial of Negro voting
rights.
The Supreme Court tradi-
tionally has held that the lower
courts should not go out of the
way to find a Federal statute
unconstitutional when the ques-
ton is not raised directly by
the issues of the case.
Standing on this ground to-
day, the court declared in the
Georgia. case:
The delicate power of pro-
nouncing an act of Congress
unconstitutional is not to be
exercise dwith reference to hy-
pothetical cases thus imagined"

Justice Brennan, writing the
majority opinion, also declared
for the court that Federal laws
designed to deal with voting
discrimination against Negroes
were unquestionably "appropri-
ate legislation"
He declared:

the power of Congress to auth
