March Spy Trial Due
For Bulgarian Flyer

charges against 1t. Solakov
shortly after national police
and government counterespio-
mage agents gave him a full
report of their investigation
Of the incident. which looms as
a U-2 case in reverse. The
Soviet Union sentenced an
American pilot, Francis Gary
Powers, to 10 years in prison
for espionage in 1860 after his
U-2 spy plane crashed in Rus
STA.
1t. Solakov flew his Might
jet over the Adriatic Is days
ago and made two passes over
the new NATO missile base at
Gioia del Cola before the
plane roared low and slammed
into a grove Of olive trees.
The Bulgarian claimed to be
a defector seeking asylum but
italian defense authorities said
they found loaded cameras in
the wrecked plane and that
later evidence supported the
belief 1t. Solakov had been
engaged in aerial spying.
Film from the camera was
developed. but no announce
ment has been made on what
it showed. Such information
however, presumably was in
cluded in the report given the
judge who issued the warrant
against 1t. Solakov.

Experts Rule Out
'Rubens' Puintina

ELLSWORTH. Kans.. Feb. 2
(AP).-Dreams of a 81 million
fortune are fading under the
verdict of a New York art
gallery.
The Rev. Emmett Coler, pas
tor of st. Bernard's Catholic
Church here, bought a painting
for $13 at an auction last sum-
mer because he liked the frame
Then there arose speculation
that the painting was ar
original by Flemish artist Peter
Paul Rubens.
The painting was submitted
to experts.
1t is not a RubenS, and
furthermore, tt lis not even Of
the Rubens school," says Paula
Inset, head Of the Galerie Paula
Inset in New York.
Father Coler said he wasn't
upset.
II never have been too con-
cerned If it was an original
or not" he said.

2Cities Sue
Electric Firms

The cities of Burlington, VT.
and Albemarle, N. c., have filed
10 civil suits in District Court
here against a total Of IL cleo
trical equipment firms seeking
damages for alleged price rig
ging.
The suits. which note recent
Federal criminal proceedings
against some electrical equip
ment firms in Pennsylvania
allege the companies conspired
to fix prices and to allocate
equipment sales.
Seven suits filed by Abe
marie said the city paid Sub
stantially higher" rugged prices
in purchasing circuit breakers,
meters, insulators, power switch
gear assemblies and transform
ers during the past 10 years.
Three suits filed by Burling-
ton claim that city spent q
total of $1,697, 900 during the
past decade for turbine genera
tors. power switch gear as
semblieS and power transform
erS.
The Ablemarle suits con-
tanned no estimate of the
amounts paid by the city. Both
cities are seeking three times
the difference between the
prices they paid and true COM
petitive prices as damages.
The two cities allege that
equipment prices were main
tanned at artificial levels be-
cause of a conspiracy by the
firms in unreasonable restraint
Of interstate trade.
The suits also ask District
Court to rule that the electrical
equipment firms have violated
the Sherman Antitrust Act
Both cities demanded jury
trials.
Among the firms listed in one
or more suits as defendants
are:
Westinghouse Electric Corp.
General Electric Co., Allis.
Chalmers Manufacturing Co.
McGraw-Edison Co., and I-T-F
Circuit Breaker Co.

Duty Stressed
In Foreclosure

The United States Court of
Appeals yesterday emphasized
the duty Of trustees in fore
closure proceedings to consider
the interests Of both the Dor
rover and the lender.
The court, In an opinion,
said esuch trustees should be
impartial and above suspicion
and questioned the practice of
having loan firm officials serve
in this role.
The case involves a suit by
Leo G. Sheridan to recover
$4,427 in fire insurance money
he contended was wrongfully
appropriated by the Perpetual
Building Association.
The association loaned $l3,-
500 on property at 1743 Eight
zenith street NV. in 1852. A
District Court Judge gave Mr..
Sheridan 1922 but dismissed
other parts Of his suit.
In yesterdays opinion, the
appellate court said the District
Court Judge should have scru-
tinized more closely the conduct
of the trustees, who were close
ly connected with the associa-
ton.
However, the appellate court
expressed no opinion whether
a breach Of trust actually oc-
CURED. The appellate court sent
the case back to District Court
for study Of this question.
The opinion noted one trus-
tee, Samuel Scrivener, jr., was
an officer Of Perpetual and that
another trustee managed an in
vestment firm whose members
were Perpetual directors.

Pickering Of
Lansburgh's

The Congress of Racial
Equality announced today II
will withdraw its pickets from
Lansburgh's Department Store
Julius Hobson, chairman OF
Washington CORE, said the
pickets will be withdrawn i'm
mediately to allow the store an
opportunity to improve its hir-
ing program. CORE represen-
atives had been picketing the
store on Saturdays since
December 16 in protest against
Lansburgh's alleged discrimin-
atory hiring policies.
| Mr.. Hobson said the organi-
cation decided to withdraw the
pickets following the stores
declaration to the Washington
Urban League that it would &C.
celerate its hiring program.
II believe the store has met
with most of CORES basic de-
mands," said Mr.. Hobson. 81
am convinced that we should
withdraw our lines and give
the store the opportunity to
carry out its intended pro-
gram"
Mr.. Hobson said the stores
decision to change its hiring
practices was announced follow
ing q meeting between Herman
Neugass, vice president and
general manager Of Lansburgh's
and Sterling Tucker, executive
director Of the Washington
Urban League.
I'm a letter to Mr.. Tucker,
Mr.. Neugass agreed to accel-
crate Lansburgh's present hir-
ing program and to recruit per-
sonnet through the Washing
ton Urban League" Mr.. Hob
son reported. HE agreed that
the league has the right to in
spect the program and report
its progress to the community"
Mr.. Hobson said the store
has agreed also that CORE can
observe the progress Of Lans-
burgh's new employment policy
and report its findings to the
community. He said the store
already has asked the leagues
help in finding qualified Negro
clerks and supervisory per-
sonnet.
The stores proposals to the
league were rejected at first by
CORE, Mr.. Hobson revealed.
But, after telephone converse
tions with Mr.. Neugass and
Mr.. Tucker, Mr.. Hobson said
he decided to withdraw the
picketS. .
CORE representatives tomor-
row will picket other downtown
stores.

NbC Allowed
Showing Based
On ART Fraud

District Court Judge John j.
Sirica today refused to bar the
showing Of an NBC color tele-
vision spectacular inspired by a
famous Dutch art fraud case.
The widow and former law
yer Of Hans van Meegeren, who
was convicted in s1947 Of in
stigating art forgery. wanted
District Court to bar the pro-
gram, scheduled Sunday, which
they claim will invade their
privacy.
Lawyer Richard L. Merrick
told Judge Sirica that Johanna
Theresa van Meegeren Oerle-
mans was well known as Van
Meegeren's widow. The attor-
ney said the show would dis
grace" her.
Other Damage Seen
Mr.. Merrick said the pro-
gram also would injure the le-
gal reputation Of the Dutch
lawyer. E. Heldring, who, he
said, had succeeded in having
all but one Of the art fraud
charges against Van Meeperen
dismissed.
The judge was told both
compliments would be read

said they should be allowed to
live out their lives without be-
ing exposed to public ridicule."
Lawyer Percy A. Shay argued
that the color spectacular, a
DUPONT Show Of the Week.
would be seen by an estimated
16 million people. The lawyer
said almost 5000, 900 In produc-
ton and publicity costs would
De LOST II the program were
taken off the air.
Names Fictitious
Mr.. Shay said fictitious
names were to be used and that
the program was quite different
from events in Van Meegeren's
life. He admitted, however, that
the Van Meegeren case had
inspired the show.
Judge Sirica, in refusing to
grant a temporary restraining
order to bar the show, which is
scheduled to be carried over
WRC-TV, emphasized that he
was not deciding the merits of
the case.
The Judge, noting that Van
Meegeren's widow and lawyer
have filed for $400, 900 in dam
ages If the program is shown,
said they appear to have a
complete remedy at law for
any injury"
