4 Robbers Get $1,000
AtNortheost Drugstore

-Four armed robbers last
night terrorized employees Of a
Northeast Washington drug
store and escaped with $4,000,
police reported.
Melvin Parker, 81, Of 44l7
Twentieth street NE, co-owner
of the Van Park drug store at
1900 Deane avenue NE, told
police he was talking on the
phone just before 10 pm. when
the masked men came in.
One Of the bandits fired a
shot In the air as they en-
tered. Mr.. Parker related. He
said he quickly told the person
to whom he was talking to call
police and hung up.
The holdup men spread
through the store, in which
there were two clerks at the
soda fountain and four young
customers. Mr.. Parker said he
was forced to hand over $500
from the cash register and
$500 from the safe.
One Of the clerks. Roberta
Hymes, 81, Of 405 Tenth street
NE. fled into a Mushroom but
the men forced her to return
and open the cash register con-
tanning 500.
The holdup men ran to a
1855 convertible parked out
side and drove away Just as
the police alert was going out
over their radio.

but added the Interior Depart
ment's stand on the sewer line
could have a "deterimental" and
adverse" effect on "the entire
National Capital area park pro-
gram"
The Fairfax supervisor cited
q contract drawn up in 1855
between the National Capital
Planning Commission and Fair
fax County giving the local
jurisdiction the right to lay
water lines, storm drains, sewer
lines and other public utility
lines through Federal parkland
located in the county.
Contract Stressed
According to Mrs. wilkins,
"the wording Of the contract is
unequivocal In giving Fairfax
County the right to place a line
through the land. E. There can
be no question that all parties
O.. intended that Fairfax
County should decide when the
installation of a county sewer
line is in the public interest.
Secretary Udall had said Sat-
urday the county could not
run a l2-inch sewer line under
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway because it
would be against the public
interest"
Mrs. Wilkins said in her let

Supreme Court Bars
Drastic Price SIoshes
BY DANA BULLEN
Star staff Writer

The Governments legal preventing illegal price
cutting has been strengthened by Supreme ruling up
holding ban on unreasonaby low prices to destroy COM
petition.
The ban on this type Of predatory price cutting con-
tanned in section Of the Robinson Paan Act THE court
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-02-19

yesterday rejected a claim that
the section was unconstitu-
tionally vague.
The 6-3 ruling came in a
case that involved a Govern
ment claim that National Dairy
Products Corp. tried to kill off
smaller competitors in the
Kansas City area.
The large dairy concern. &C.
cording to the Government,
cut Its milk prices below cost
in its effort to drive out other
firms.
District Ruling Upset
The charges were thrown out
by a District Court Judge in
Kansas City on the ground the
Robinson-Patman section un-
der which they were filed was
too vague. This ruling was
reversed by the Supreme Court
yesterday.
The section involved makes
1t illegal for any person en-
gagged in commerce Ito sell
|. :. goods at unreasonably low
prices for the purpose of de-
stroying competition or to
eliminate a competitor"
The Government contended
that RobinsOn-P atman made
sales below cost illegal in the
absence Of some type of lawful
justification for such prices.
Justice Clark. author Of yes
terday's majority opinion, said
Congress had condemned sales
below cost to destroy COMPETE
ton when it ruled out sales at
unreasonably low prices for
this purpose.
Vague Meaning Denied
He said that National Dairy
could reasonably understand
from the language Of Robin
son-Patman that such conduct
was barred by the law. Thus.
he said, the section was not I'M
constitutionally vague.
Justice Clark said the courts
opinion should not be construed
as holding that all sales below
costs violate Robinson Patman.
He said the ruling, for example,
does not bar National Dairy
from showing during trial that
its prices were reasonable.
Prices below cost, the justice

clude the strategy of a COM

said:
"In these conditions, no
one in the world - particu-
larly no one in America-can
say If, where, when, how and
to what extent the American
nuclear weapons would be
employed to defend Europe.
Moreover, this does not in the
least prevent the American
nuclear weapons, which are
the most powerful of all,
from remaining the essential
guarantee of world peace.
But it remains that the
American nuclear power does
not necessarily and imme-
diately meet all the eventuali-
ties concerning Europe and
France.
THUS, principles and re-
alities combine to lead France
to equip itself with an atomic
force of its own. This does
not at all exclude, Of course,
the combination Of the action
of this force with the action
of the similar forces of its
allies"
Referring to the agreement
reached at Nassau between

Minister Macmillan, the De

1T is a question of consti-
tuting a so-called multilateral

ain would turn over the

is assigned to the defense of
Europe and is under the
American NATO command.
1t is nevertheless understood
that the British retain the

under the direct orders OF the
President of the Unite d
States.
1T is true that we. too,
can theoretically retain the
ability to take back in our
hands, in the supreme hy-
pothesis, our atomic weapons
incorporated in the multilat-
eral force. But how could we
do 1t in practice during the
unheard of moments Of the
atomic apocalypse? In
sum, we will adhere to the de-
cision we have made: To
construct and, If necessary, to
employ our atomic force
ourselves. And that without
refusing, of course, co-opera-
ton, be it chronological or
strategic, if this cooperation
is, on the other hand, desired
by our allies"
Here is a nations leader
who is thinking primarily Of
his own country and who is
not willing to intrust its
safety to the trigger finger of
an executive in another coun-
try. Gen. de Gaulle thinks
this would entail "a web of
liaisons, transmissions and
interferences within itself,
and, on the outside, a ring Of
obligations such that, If an
integral part were suddenly
snatched from it, there would
be a strong risk Of paralyZ-
ing it lust at the moment,
perhaps, when it should act"
The lesson of all this Is
that there is need for SOUL
searching conferences and
consultation without the
emotional discords that arise
when the head of a foreign
state is described as egoistic
Just because he thinks of the
future Of his own people and
is unwilling to intrust their
safety to a strategy that relies
wholly on missiles or, to a
large extent, looks on con-
ventional weapons as obsolete.
Yet the possibility of a big
war in Europe without nu-
clear weapons remains, as
always, on a continent in
which the Soviet Union to-
day has the biggest standing
army in the world.

carried away by his own words,
and his manner says plainly
that he knows he is overstat-
ing the cause to which he is
so devoted.
The Senator was in splendid
voice. He stamped around his
chair like a pitcher on the
mound and held forth in bril-
liant exaggeration for 20
minutes.
Il resent the implication that

officer has some omnipotence

Of members being not only

was indeed the truth.
Vice President johnson kept
pressing his would-be promoter
to mention any rule he had
in mind.
Then he said, in rather sad
echo of the days when he used
to bend the whole Senate to
his will, THE Vice President
cannot tell even one Senator
how to make up his mind"
Senator Heating pointed out
rather plaintively that 100 Sem
ators had not been successful
In bringing this issue to a vote.
The Vice President said
wearily that the Constitution
does not give him the power
to determine when the Senate
has talked long enough.
THAT is a matter to be de-
termined by the Senators them
selves" he said.
In SPLENDID Voice
Senator Keating's hapless
suggestion did more than
prompt what the Vice Presi-

pose it after we explored rather
fully commission problems last

There's no use getting mad
at Gen. de Gaulle just be-
cause he is a realist in a
world of anxiety or just be-
cause he doesn't see things
the way Washington or Lon
don see them.
The French President has
lately been the subject of
some rather severe criticism
as a stubborn, self-centered
individual who would rather
mess up NATO md the whole
defense plan Of the West
than give up his concept OF
a united Europe based on
continental supremacy with
out Britain. Naturally this
irritates many people and
causes intimations to be given
in White House circles that
maybe Gen. de Gaulle is liv-
ing in the 10th century.
Yet Gen. de Gaulle has
merely stood firm on the
principle that a leaders first
obligation is to take care Of
his own countrymen. He
hasn't swallowed the propa-
ganda of the supranational-
lists who think the many ma
tionalities in Europe can be
best governed by a single
council of state.
1t was on January IA that
Gen. de Gaulle gave compre-
hensive answers to questions
asked at a press conference
in Paris. He has not modi-
fled his position since. While
his views we're not accepted
with enthusiasm here or in
London, they were by no
means opposed fundamental
ly to Allied solidarity or to
the organization Of a COM
mon defense against the Com
munist menace. His state
ment explained that France
would welcome Britain into
the Common Market on
terms of equality, but not as
a special partner with trade
concessions for the benefit
of its home agriculture and
its Commonwealth associates.
Nor did Gen. de Gaulle ex-

staffs," Mr.. Schwengel said
yesterday. 1T hasn't worked
out that way. Most Of the
staff members on House COM
mittees spend their time de-
veloping bills and conducting
research for the majority point
Of view.
THE presidential election of
1860 and the congressional
election last year show that
about half the people in this
country support the minority
point Of view. They're being
short-changed when we don't
have enough staff members to
see that this position Is de-
veloped and adequately pre-
sented for consideration"
