When Trader Vic heard
about Chinese ovens found
north of Canton and dating
back to 20 BIC, he incorpo-

They originated in the Phil

The Traders name is Vic

grew up in Oakland where
his parents ran a grocery

His first business venture
was a half partnership in a
neighborhood bar. His second
was a little Oakland restau-

Trader Vic acts as if he
would like to forget it.
"Those were the formative

he started selling them to

House Group
Hears Blast at
Trade Stamps
Cuustic Testimony
Given by. District
Business Leaders
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

Trading stamps. boarded like
gold by many housewives,
came under blistering attack
today at a House District sub
committee hearing.
Among those criticizing the
stamps were Robert Kneipp,
assistant corporation counsel;
Oscar I. Dodek. president of
both the Better Business Bu-
reau of Metropolitan Washing
ton and the Washington Mer-
chants & Manufacturers As
sociation, and Horace Walker,
executive director of the Met
ropolitan Retail Gasoline e
Dealers Association.
Mr.. Walker declared "the
greatest hoax ever perpetrated
on the American buying public
is the highly advertised claim
that trading stamps are free
This gigantic misconception
has been foisted upon the
American public by a continu-
ing multi-million dollar public
relations program"
ID. C. Ban on Now
Mr. Walker was testifyine
against q bill introduced BY
Representative Matthias, Re.
publican of Maryland, which he
said might permit use Of trad
ing stamps in the District.
Mr.. Matthias said that while
his bill would permit giving oi
free gifts in connection with 9
purpose, he has amended the
measure so that it would not
legalize trading stamps in the
District.
While use of trading stamps
is banned now in the District
they are allowed in Maryland
and Virginia suburbs.
Mr.. Kneipp said he believed
that the proposed measure
might be held invalid if il
discriminateS against tradins
stamps, unless a strong cast
can be made for excluding
them.
Mr.. Dodek said he thought
Representative Matthias bill
had a worthwhile objective
provided it didn't legalize trad
ing stamps.
Stresses MiscOnceptiOn
There is absolutely no ques.
tion," Mr.. Dodek said, that the
use Of trading stamps adds tx
the cost of doing business anC
as businessmen, you know what
that means and you know whC
is paying for them.
1T is extremely unfortunate
that many customers thinl
they are getting something fol
nothing when they go out O.
their way to patronize store:
which dispense trading stamps
But this is an entirely differen1
offer than a legitimate offer ot
free merchandise or service"
Mr.. Knight said that q survey
he has made indicated thai
trading stamps do result il
, higher cost for both the con.
sumer and the merchant.
No Defenders
Carl Shipley, attorney fol
Proctor & Gamble, and severa.
other witnesses, supported Rep.
resentative Matthias bill. How.
ever, no one spoke in defense
Of trading stamps.
Mr.. Shipley said that the
District is losing millions o1
dollars in business and tax rev.
: enues because giving free items
with a purchase is not permit
ted here. He added that the
use of free gifts is permitted in
all the other States and that as
a result merchants here are al
a serious disadvantage.
After the hearing, the SUBJ
committee took Representative
Matthias measure under ad-
Ivisement.

MOSCOW, Nov. 9 (AP) =
Stalingrad may lose its name.
The Mayor of the Soviet hero
city Of World War II told about

with a reporter. He said the
citizens Of Stalingrad are de-
n1anding the city's name be

Since Stains body was re-
moved from the Lenin tomb in

the chief monument left to the

The city on the Volga once
was called Tsaritsyn. The

HOUSTON. Tex, Nov. 9 (AP)
1.-Two sea captains, a Dane and
a Chinese, disagreed yesterday
on the circumstances surround
ing the collision of their ships
in the Houston ship channel
Tuesday night.
sThree men were killed and
seven, including Port Houston
Pilot David Duncan, were miss
ing. Eleven were injured, three
critically.
The 9,000-ton tanker M. S.

ance collided boWLon in clear
Weather.

the fire might reach the engine
room. The ship was aground
and listing about is degrees.
The Berean fire died out yes
terday morning and the tanker
moved away from the crippled
Union Reliance under her own
power.
fCapt. Wen Tsai Hsu, 46. Of
the Union Reliance said his ship
was anchoredIwhen the collision
Occurred. But Capt. Stem Larsen
OF the tanker, who lists Copen-

The freighter hit us after we
both sounded our warning whis-
ties. Just as he dropped his an
chor. he hit U.s."

Capt. HSu, Of Taiwan, For
niosa, said apparently the an
chor chain heard by Capt. Lar
sen was his second. He said he
dropped two because the Union
Reliance's steering gear jammed.
Hospitals received 81 of the
50 men on the freighter, but
only IL required treatment, and
only five required hospitaliza-
ton.
Coast GuardSmen found three
bodies aboard the Union Reli-
ance II hours after the crash.
The freighter was outbound
to New Orleans with a general

Algeria Peace
Bid Renewed
ByDeGauIIe

PARIS, April IL (AP).-
President De Gaulle said today
France is ready to discuss the
future Of Algeria with various
sections of the Algerian popu-
lation-"n notably with the forces
of the rebellion"
This was an apparent effort
to assure the rebel regime in
Tunis that Gen. De Gaulle
would deal primarily with it in
negotiating an end to the war.
1t was the rebels insistence
that it alone represent the
Algerian masses that broke
down attempts to open peace
talks last week.
At the same time, however,
Gen. De Gaulle expressed
doubt that the Algerian revo-
lutionary leaders are capable
of taking positive steps to ne
gotiate peace.
Expulsion Threatened
Gen. de Gaulle told a news
conference France is prepared
to talk with the Algerians
about Self-determination. But
he warned that if the Algerians
seek to, cut their ties with
France, he will ask 100000 Al

The President said that be-
cause the rebels have been un-
able to dominate the 100000
man French army in Algeria
"one wonders if. after all, they
are capable of moving toward
positive action"
The stern French President,
addressing 500 journalists in
his Elysee Palace, asserted that,

for the present, France will
continue to give Algeria a new
political, economic and admin
lstrative structure from top
to bottom"
He has promised that, after
peace has returned to Algeria,

million European residents Of
Algeria will be able to have a

Williams to Contest
Holmes Nomination

Iport by the Senate Permanent
Investigations Subcommittee,
Senator Williams said that the
National Tanker Corp, in
which Mr.. Holmes was an or
ganizer, realized $450,000 from
the sale of three tankers to the
United Tanker Corp.
The tanker transactions date
back to 1947 during a period in
which Mr.. Holmes had resigned
from the State Department and
Joined with Joseph Casey, a
former Democratic Represent
ative from Massachusetts,, and
Stanley Klein. a partner in the
firm of j. w. Mcguire & Co.
They formed the American
Overseas Tanker Corp, which
purchased eight surplus tank
ers from the Maritime Com
mission.
The investigating committee
reported that they realized a
gross profit of $3,25o,00O on
an original investment of $101,-
900 through the subsequent
sale of their stock interest in
the various corporations which
ultimately took title to the
tankers.
Deal Under Scrutiny

ed. however, on the three tank
ers American Overseas offered
to buy and later transferred
to the affiliate, National Tank

UNLESS it is withdrawn"
Senator Williams said, II in
tend to carry my opposition to

approved by the committee"
Mr.. Holmes had been nomi-
mated by former President Eli
senhower in 1855 to be Am
bassador to Iran, but the nomi-
nation was withdrawn. Ill
health was given as the rea-
son. But Senator Williams said
the nomination was withdrawn
because of Mr.. Holmes in
volvement in a series of sales
Of Government surplus tank
ers a decade ago in which heavy
profits were reported.
Mr.. Holmes, a native of
Pleasonton, Kans., is a Foreign
Service career officer. He re-
signed from the State Depart
ment in 1945 and was a private
citizen at the time the various
corporations were formed to
handle the transactions.
