District Court Measure
Compromise Is Offered

Senator Robertson, Democrat
Of Virginia, has offered to
withdraw his objections to a
major Municipal Court bill If
subpoena power extends only
Is miles from the District.
Legislation once cleared by
both the House and the Senate
would empower Municipal Court
to subpoena witnesses within
100 miles Of the hearing ol
trial.
Senator Robertson called back
the legislation on its way to the
White House.
His first idea was to bring
the subpoena question before
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee for a look at its interstate
aspects"
But the Judiciary Committee
agenda is too full to consider
the Washington Metropolitan
problem this session, the Vir-
ginian has informed Senate
District Committee Chairman
Bible, Democrat of Nevada.
Senator Robertson said he
would not oppose other features
Of the bill-to change the name
to the Court Of General Ses-
sions or to increase court ju-
risdiction over civil actions
from $1,000 to $4,000 in dam
age claims.
But a 100-mile subpoena
could compel State officials in
the capitals Of Virginia, Mary
land and Delaware, to leave
their duties to report to pro-
ceedings Of another jurisdic-
ton, he warned.
The 25-mile subpoena was
proposed as an interim solu-
ton.
Congress in its next session
could examine the possible need
for amendments to coordinate
and make reciprocal subpoena
powers Of political subdivisions
within the Washington area,
Senator Robertson reasoned.

Fleeing Suspect Nobbed
Twice in One Week

For the second time in less
than a week, Calvin e. Tindal
today was in custody after
being chased by police and
citizens.
Yesterday, Tindal, 81, of, the
800 block of Rittenhouse street
NV, was arrested by police
on a robbery charge at Thomas
Circle after a stout-hearted
citizen halted him with a fly
ing tackle. Police said Tindal
was trying to get away after
robbing the Stuart E. Proctor
real estate firm at 1902 Ver-
mont avenue NV. of $845.
Hero of this chase was Tevis
Margolis, 38, of 1908 East
West Highway, Silver Spring,
Md, a 6-foot-2 contractor. who
saw the pursuit, leaped out of
his car and brought Tindal
down like a red-dogging line
backer.
Last Friday, Tindal was
caught by sixth precinct police
after a six-block chase in
which the pursuers fired three
shots to halt him after he
tried to cash a stolen pension
check in a supermarket. Tindal
was out on $4,000 bond in the
first case when yesterdays in
cident occurred.

TESTING BRANDY, al
though a small portion of
the work done each year, is
interesting and revealing be-
cause a reliable means of
measuring its age escaped
researchers for years until
they looked to the archaeol-
ogists.
BY observing the men dig
ging in ruins who related
age to radioactivity in de-
termining the antiquity of
artifacts, the tax depart
ment's scientists tried out
the system on vintage spirits
such as brandy. 1t worked,
and the testing started a few
years ago.
The age Of domestic whiS-
kies and brandies is no prob
lem because it is under
Government supervision. But
some of the brandy imports
claimed ages Of IS, IS and so
years on the labels. Age and
the price of hooch are closely
related.
Europeans often give in
ferior brandies low age
ratings, regardless Of the
actual age. On the other
hand, an excellent brandy
will receive an old-age label
even if it was distilled only
recently.
Mr.. Ryan's men got busy
and found that instances of
brandy reputed to be IS, Is
or so years old have proven
to be only 4 or 5 years old,
and even of recent origin"
As a result of these tests,
it is very rare today to see a
bottle of imported brandy in
a liquor store with a label
claiming that Is or 50-year-
old brandy is inside. Much
of today's imported brandy
carries no mention of age.

said.
He said it was not practical in
many instances to finish cattle.
He pointed out it should be the
experienced operator who finished
cattle. Another reason he cited
was the increase in large feed
yards near populated areas and
packing houses.
"Many individual packers,
and also the majors, have feed
yards near their packing houses.
They like to feed them the last
40 to 20 days near the plant as
this cuts down on shipping bruises

shipping them as feeders" he

because feeder cattle are avail

numbers. In this northern country
most of our feeders are sold IN
