Butler Plans to Quit
Senate at End of 7 erm

Senator John Marshall Butler,
Republican of Maryland, said
today he will not seek re-elec-
ton next year to the office he
has held for II years.
Compelling personal reasons
leave me with no other choice
but to yield to them" his for
NAL announcement said, with
out elaboration.
Baltimore sources indicated
that health may be the prin-
cipal factor in the decision.
Earlier this fall Senator Butler,
who is "a, was a patient for
several days in Union Memo
rial Hospital there with what
was described as a virus infec-
ton. While there he was said
to have suffered recurring high
fever.
Il have made this decision
after the most earnest and
prayerful consideration" said
the Senator, whose announce
ment apparently was a surprise
everywhere.
Senator Butler was fir st
elected on November 7, 1850,
after a sensational campaign
against the late Senator Millard
E. Tydings, Democrat. He won
by about $4,000 votes after a
battle in which a composite
photograph purporting to show
senator Tydings with Earl
Browder, Com m unist Party
leader, played a major part.
The Republican also leveled
charges of "coddling of Com
munists" against his opponent
and this brought the late Sen
ator Joseph Mccarthy of Wis
eonsin, into the campaign on
behalf of Senator Butler.

charged, served as a go-be-

A, a jukebox company opera

stay out of prison.
The indictment gave this
account Of the alleged attempt
to fix a sentence:
Moore was arrested January
S, 1861 in a fraud case involv-
ing concealment of assets of the
bankrupt Gibraltor Amusement
Limited of Long Island, a juke-
box firm.
Moore sought help from
Erdman, who was acquainted
with both Kahaner and Judge
Keogh. Erdman contacted the
prosecutor and the judge.
Light Sentence Sought
Ultimat tely arrangements
were made for payments total
ing $35,O00 to Kahaner and
Justice Keogh on condition
that they would attempt to get
suspended or light sentences
for Moore and his two fellow
defendants in the bankruptcy
fraud case.
Corallo's role was to help get
the $35,000 and, with Kahaner,
to induce DR.. Erdman to COM
municate with Justice Keogh.
Kahaner was not the prose-
cutor in the bankruptcy fraud
case and since it was a Federal
case Justice Keogh also had
nothing to do with it. The in

Miller Homes
Covenants
Agents Question
Owners on Pucts
In Wesley Heights
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star staff Writer


FBI agents have been ques-
tioning home owners in Wesley
Heights to determine whether
restrictive covenants signed
more than a quarter century
ago indicate present antitrust
violations.
The FBI investigation, it was
learned, was ordered by Attor-
ney General Robert F. Ken
nedy at the request of his anti
trust and civil rights divisions.
Mr. Kennedy said the matter is
still under consideration but so
far, the department does not
plan legal action.
Assistant Attorney General
Burke Marshall. in charge of
the civil rights division, empha-
sized that the investigation now
in its final stages was insti-
gated by the antitrust division
after published suggestions in
legal circles that racial cove
nants in housing could be a
restraint of trade.
First result of the FBI's
neighborhood canvass was a let
ter from the Attorney General
to Richard R. Atkinson, acting
chairman of the District Re
development Land Agency, on
October "a.
Objections to MilIerS
That was the day before a
parade of witnesses before the
RIA bitterly protested the
housing practices of the w. c..
and A. N. Miller Development
Co. The real estate firm was
then a principal in the Tiber
Island Corp. which was to be
awarded rights to an eight-acre
tract in Southwest Washington.
The Kennedy letter began by
referring to Mr.. Atkinson's let
ter of october l6 asking
whether the Justice Depart
ment had investigated the Mil
Ter firm and if so, what type Of
prosecution was anticipated.
Reporting that the firm had
been investigated, the Attorney
General wrote:
The information divulged by
this investigation discloses that
the Miller company has consist
emily refused to sell property in
the communities it has devel-
oped to persons of specified rae
ial or religious groups. The
communities affected are Wes-
ley Heights and Spring Valley
in the District of Columbia and
Sumner, Spring Hill and Po-
tomac Falls in Montgomery
County, Md.
The investigate further
discloses that the Miller COM
pany has incorporated in the
deeds transferring property
to purchasers various coven-
ants designed to prevent the
subsequent sale or rental of
such property to members of
the prohibited groups"
Type Of Covenants
The Attorney General re-
ported that these three types
of covenants had been used.
The first prohibited resale or
rental of the property without
the Miller company's written
consent or without written ap-
proval of the majority of own
ers within five lots of the
property on both sides of the
street.
The second prohibited sale
or rental to Negroes or per-
sons Of Semitic origin, includ-
ing Armenians. Jews, Persians
and Syrians.
The third required that the
Miller company be appointed
agent for subsequent sale or

Senate Restores
 North Star Funds

Sen. Ernest Gruening Wednes- day obtained Senate approval by a AS to 43 vote of his North Star'' amendment to restore to the In terior Department an appropriation of $375,000 needed to refit a vic tory ship to replace the present North Star operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to serve commun- ities in the far north of Alaska.
 The House of Representatives approved the sum requested by the Interior Department for this pur- pose but the Senate appropriations committee deleted the item in its report on the appropriations bill.
 Sen. Gruening began his fight for restoration of the North Star funds when the appropriations bill came to the Senate floor this week. He pointed out that the need for a new ship is because 90 out of 98 com munities served by the Bureau of Indian Affairs are without service from any commercial carrier. The present ship is inadequate in space to carry increasing amounts of cargo needed by the people it serves. Its machinery is obsolete and increasingly hard to replace or repair, he said.
 He told the Senate the North Star currently serves 34 villages operating cooperative stores under the direct supervision of the Bur- eau of Indian Affairs and that these stores are the only medium through which the villagers can purchase food, clothing and fuel supplies. He mentioned the other many services performed by the ship as it made its round of calls.
 The amendment was vigorously opposed by the ranking Republican member of the Interior sab-com- mittee of the Senate Appr0pria- tions committee, Sen. Karl Mundt, of South Dakota. It was strongly supported by Sen. Hubert Hum phrey, of Minnesota.

Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DECREE

Congressman Pelly from Wash ington seems to want to get into the act and make all the decisions for Alaska. AS you will read else where his latest is an attack on the Post Office Department in award ing the mail contract to the Aleu- tian Marine Transport Company for carrying mail to the Aleutians. He thinks it should have gone up for bid.
 We have no quarrel with the bid idea, but under the existing law the Postmaster General contracts for this route, by powerboat, with service to be performed on a monthly frequency, using "safe and seaworthy boat of sufficient size to provide adequate space for mail, passengers, and freight, the

 Simon urges all fishermen, yes sel owners and operators to con- sider this program.
 We need vessels to charter for this important tagging program" Simon emphasized Mot only will a few operators benefit directly and immediately by these charters, but also we at the Alaska Depart ment of Fish and Game think it is important for members of the fish ing fleet to help us plan a sounder economic future through gather ing the critical data we are after"

Vessels Needed For Pink Tagging

Some fishermen in the Kodiak area are being offered a chance to supplement tn cir incomes through chartering boats and fish ing for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game during this seasons closed periods, according to Bob Simon, who is in charge of a new tagging program for the Kodiak area.
 Funds have been made available to the State of Alaska Department of Fish and Game for certain re- search programs, among which is a tagging effort in the Kodiak area to determine the migration routes and timing of the pink salmon runs.
 To carry on this program, the Department wishes to charter purse seiners during the weekly closed periods to catch pinks on the outer capeS, and on which tag ging crews can work An ad has been run in this paper each week, and form letters have been sent to each cannery requesting interested vessel owners and shippers to con- tact either Bob Simon or Jack Me Farland at the Kodiak Management Office. To date, the response has been disappointing.
 Simon points out that the pink salmons is the most important spe- cies taken by any commercial fish cry in the Kodiak area. In 1860 the fishermen were paid $2,807, ,615.1 .16 for the pink salmon taken. This was over twice the raw fish price paid for the next most important re- source, including King crab.
 Fisheries science has little more than scratched the surface on pink salmon , Simon explained. Management has yet to predict runs with even semblance of ac- curacy The final destination of good portion of the pinks taken in Kodiak is not known. Proper man. agement depends to large extent upon a knowledge of the migration
