/ lengthy commercials to Ameri-

in Tijuana. Acuna and Juarez,
Mexico. They range in power
from $4,000 watts to 250,000
watts and usually put on their
biggest sales pitch late at night
when the airWaves are free of
domestic broadcasters and the
sales pitch comes through loud
and clear.
The Mexican stations were
chosen. by the promoters for
several reasons. There are no
limits on the power. no limits
on the length of commercials.
no questions asked about the
value of the products advertised
and the rates are lower than
for similar air time in this
country.
The practice of using the
Mexican stations has been
going on for two decades but
has recently become more prev
alent and potentially more
dangerous as the wattage of
the stations has increased.
The postal inspectors are
concentrating on medical prod
ucts because protection in this
field is considered most impor-
tant. 1t is expected, however,
that the investigation will be
extended to other types of prod
ucts where the mails may be
used to defraud purchasers.

Presidents Dismissal
Powers in Army Upheld

Three Federal judges have
provided further legal sanction
to the Presidents power to dis
miss officers of the armed
forces.
In backing up this presiden-
tial power, District Court Judges
Alexander Holtzoff and David
A. Pine and Appellate Court
Judge Walter M. Bastian yes
terday upheld the discharge of
Army 1t. Col. j. B. Beard for
conduct unbecoming an officer.

ditions-after he allegedly made
a homoSexual pass at a Wash

1860, in a mems room Of the
Washington YMCA.
Attacking his discharge by

that the Federal law governing

tice violates the Constitution in
that there is no provision for an
officer to confront his accusers.
The court said the only limit
on the Presidents power to dis
miss a member of the military
lies in the power Of Congress to
set up a dismissal procedure,
and that this is not subject to
limitations applying to civilians
under the Bill of Rights.
The opinion said the Uni
form Code Of Military Justice,
"is not intended to provide a
judicial trial or even a quasi
judicial hearing on specific
charges. 1t merely prescribes an
administrative routine for the
elimination of officers who are
deemed unsuitable.
"Such a procedure is not sub
ject to limitations Of the due
process clause or any other
constitutional provision"
The judges further stated
that Armies can not be main
tanned and commanded and

Appeal Ruling
Hits Judge in
Suit Reform

The Municipal Court of APP
peals says Judge Milton S.
Kronheim, jr., should not have
tried to improve" a District
mans law suit against a used
car firm.
1t made its ruling yesterday
in a case involving Gabby's
Auto Discount. 1119 1 street
NV. and Floyd w. Huffman
of the 100 block of Sixteenth
street NV.
Mr.. Huffman had sued the
auto firm charging fraud and
breach of contract in his pur-
chase of a car in October, 1859.
After facts were presented
in the jury case before Judge
Kronheim in Municipal Court,
the judge called attorneys rep
resenting Gabby's and Mr.
Huffman to conference at his
bench.
According to the appeals
court opinion, the judge told
them the evidence did not show
fraud and that he intended,
"on his own motion" to change
the theory in the case.
The judge then told the jury
that they should bring in their
verdict on the theory of quasi
contract that there was no
contract but that other rules
of law should apply.
He also instructed the jury,
the opinion continued, to au-
thorize punitive damages if
they found Gabby's had acted
maliciously. The Jury awarded
Mr.. Huffman 81 ,329.
In an opinion written by
Judge Thomas D. Quinn on an
appeal by Gabby's attorney,
John T. Bonner, the appeals
court called Judge Kronheim'S
action "manifestly improper, "
especially after the trial of
issues had been concluded.
1t was the duty of the judge
to rule upon the failure of
proof, not to reform" Mr..
Huffman's case, the court said
in reversing the verdict.

Vice President and Mrs
Lyndon B. johnson were
honored last night by the
Congressional Club at a black

The party, a traditional
event given by the club for
the Vice President, was held
at the fashionable New From
tier hour of 9 pm. The
Johnsons chose the date and
hour from among several al
ternatives suggested.
Ordinarily held in the late
afternoon or early evening,
the party at the later hour
obviously confused some of
the guests. While most of
the men managed black tie,
the women's clothes ranged
from long -sleeved afternoon
dresses to bare -shouldered,
full -Skirted ball gowns.
Mrs. johnson, who stood
in the receiving line with her
husband, officers of the club
and their husbands, wore a
yellow crepe silk dress with a
short, full skirt, topped by a
small white fur evening wrap
and an enormous yellow
throated white orchid. The
Vice President wore a yellow
rose in the lapel of his din
ner jacket.
Mrs. Wallace Bennett, club
president, headed the receiv-
ing line. Her husband, the
senior Senator from Utah,
stood in the line between the
JohnSons.
This country'S new Ambas-
sador to Costa Rica, Ray
mond Telles, was among the
non-congressional guests at
the event.
Mr.. TelleS, who is said to
be the first Mexican-Amer-
ican to be named Ambassador

Tex, to accept the post. He
was expecting to see Presi-

Sell
". S. WAY
BY FRANCES LIDE
Star Staff Writer

A RuSsian-born American
called on his fellow citizens
yesterday to learn to sell the
American way of life with
the same skill they employ
to sell cigarettes, gadgets
and the like.
The appeal was made by
DR.. Nicholas T. Goncharoff,
now with the International
Committee of the YMCA,
before the Virginia Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs at
the final session of it's three
day meeting in Arlington.
1t is useless to tell the
world what America is
against, but millions want to
know what America stands
for, the speaker declared.
DR.. Goncharoff pointed
out that the United States
has a much greater philos-
ophy to offer than Marxism.
He especially noted that
there has not been a single
example of dictatorship in
this country since the Ameri-
can Revolution. No other
country has a similar record
over such a long period of
time, he declared.
Educated in Communist
schools. the speaker first
came into contact with the
YMCA in a German refugee
camp, and has worked with
the organization since 1948.
His address climaXed a
luncheon meeting in the
Arlington Towers Terrace
Room at which the State
president. Mrs. j. York We'll
born, presided.
Earlier the delegates
passed a series of resolutions
dealing with the welfare of
youth and the elderly.
They also voted to support
a tuberculosis control pro-
gram in Virginia, including
a request for State funds to
provide facilities for the hos
pitalization of all victims of
the disease needing institu-
tional care.
