Court decision today that it may
not be sued on the grounds it
violated the civil rights of a
prospective witness.
William Patrick Brandhove had
asked $250,000 damages in a suit
against the investigating group
set up the state senate.
Brandhove claimed the com-
mittee subpoenaed him to a hear-
ing in order to suppress his free
speech and other rights guaran-
teed by the federal constitution.
Justice Frankfurter delivered
the 8-1 decision, holding that con-
gress did not strike down the
freedom of legislative committees
when it enacted the nation’s civil
rights laws after the Civil war.
Justice Douglas wrote a dissent.
Justice Black wrote an opinion
which concurred with the ma-
jority.
Brandhove related that on Jan.
28, 1949, he circulated a petition
protesting against any more
money for the state senate. While
circulating the petition Brand-
hove was subpoenaed to appear
before the committee the next
day.
He did but refused to answer
questions, including one about an
affidavit which the chairman said
Brandhove made and admitted
being a former member of the
Communist party.
For refusing to answer ques-
tions, Brandhove was arrested on
a misdemeanor charge and held
in jail from Feb. 1 to Feb. 15,
1949. At trial of the charge the
jury disagreed and the case was
dismissed.
Later, Brandhove filed the
damage suit in federal court in

No Defense
HACKENSACK, N.J, May 21
(/P) — Joe Adonis, labeled one of
the nation’s seven czars of crime,
pleaded no defense today to a
series of New Jersey gambling
charges, and threw himself on the
mercy of the court.
Entering similar pleas were
four alleged hirelings of Adonis,
who were scheduled to go on
trial with him on charges of
operating a $1,000,000 dice dy-
nasty in north Jersey.
Superior Court Judge J. Wal-
lace Leyden said he could see no
difference between the no defense
pleas and guilty pleas and he an-
nounced he would accept them.
Leyden said he would sentence
the five next Monday and would
be “inclined to accept” a recom-
mendation from the state attorney
general regarding prison terms
and fines.

WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP) —
The Supreme Court ruled today
that state “fair trade” laws do
not bar stores from cutting prices
if the stores refuse to sign pric-
ing agreements.
Justice Douglas delivered the
6-3 decision which attorneys told
the high court in advance would
have the effect of killing the fair
trade laws now in effect in 45
states.
Such laws have been adopted
by all states except Vermont,
Texas, Missouri and the District
of Columbia. They permit the
fixing of minimum retail prices
by agreements between manufac-
turers and retailers.
Joining Douglas in the court
majority were Chief Justice Vin-
son and Justices Reed, Jackson,
Clark and Minton.
Justice Frankfurter wrote a
dissenting opinion, in which he
was joined by Justices Burton
and Black. Justice Jackson wrote
a separate opinion concurring
with the majority. Justice Minton
joined in this opinion.
Today’s case—with far-reach-
ing possibilities—dealt with an
attack on Louisiana’s “fair trade”
law by Schwegmann Brothers,
operators of a super-market in
New Orleans. The Schwegmann’s
refused to sign “fair trade” agree-
ments with the Calvert and Sea-
gram distillers corporations. At
their super-market they sold
fifths of Calvert Reserve whisky
for $3.35 and Seagrams 7 Crown
for $3.51. The Louisiana “fair
trade” minimum retail price was
$4.24 for each brand.

Bolstered by heavy runoff wa-
ters from its Northwest Texas
and Southern Oklahoma tribu-
taries, the Red river Monday was
in the second day of its biggest
rampage in 10 years.
The river level at the highway
77 bridge crossing at 11:30 a. m.
Monday was the highest in sev-
eral decades. The Monday morn-
ing reading was 25.70 feet, com-
pared to the previous record high
of 24.15 feet set June 9, 1941.
Measurement of the river level
at 9 p. m. Sunday showed 22.10,
indicating that the river had
risen 3.6 feet in 1412 hours.
The readings were made by
Henry Barbee, U. S. army en-
gineers corps, Denison. It was
difficult to tell whether the
strong-currented stream had
reached its crest or not, Barbee
said. Unconfirmed reports prom-
ise another rise.
Countless acres of cultivated
bottomlands and pastures—con-
servatively estimated at 3,000—
were inundated. An unknown
number of livestock were lost
when they were washed into the
torrential current which snakes
its way along the northern county
line.

The House instructed against
this.
3. The Hull-Vick amendment
which would have taxed pipeline
natural gas on the basis of long-
term contracts was abandoned.
The House asked for that change.
4. The Sewell program to pay
for rural roads, city streets and
contribute to the schools by a one
per cent per 1,000 cubic foot tax
on gathering of natural gas was
also dropped. The House had
asked the committee to consider
this program, and previously had
adopted it in a separate bill.
5. Slight changes were made in
fractional rates on such items as
crude oil, sulpher, beer, etc. For
example, the crude oil tax was
upped from 4.537 cents per barrel
to 4.6 cents.
6. The franchise tax rate paid
by corporations was increased
from $1.10 to $1.25 per $1,000.
7. The Senate amendment levy-
ing a tax on liquor brought in
from Mexico was eliminated. The
House asked for that change.

estimated the revised omnibus
bill would bring in $65,000,000

TOKYO, May 21 (AP) — Reds
began withdrawing from half of
the Korean central front today
after losing nearly 60,000 men,
by allied estimates, in their five-
day-old offensive.
Lt. Gen. Edward M. Almond
announced his tenth corps killed
or wounded 48,341 Reds on the
east-central front. Sunday’s toll
alone was 24,700, he said, the
biggest one-day total of the war.
Allied officers estimated 10,220
other casualties were inflicted on
the west-central front, AP corres-
pondent George A. McArthur re-
ported.
In this sector, Reds retreated
through a driving rain. Front line
dispatches Monday night told of
Communist withdrawals before
advancing allies across more
than 20 miles of the front.
Reds were reported abandoning
their bridgeheads below the Puk-
han and Hongchon rivers, and
pulling back toward Chunchon in
the center.
The critical cap in United Na-
tions lines on the east central
flank was plugged by a brilliant
tactical maneuver of the U.S.
Second division.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 21 (P) —
The Senate today adopted the
conference committee report on
the all-purpose tax bill by a 16
to 15 vote.
The bill is designed to pay
state government costs during the
next two years. The Senate’s close
decision came after a series of
speeches rapping the conference
bill as dodging the tax issue.
The House must also adopt the
joint conference report before the
bill can go to the desk of the gov-
ernor.
Senator R. A. Weinert of Se-
guin, Senate Tax Leader, urged
adoption of the report. He told
the Senate if it didn’t adopt it,
the legislature would be in ses-
sion until July 4 “or maybe
Thanksgiving.”
Senator Wardlow Lane of Cen-
ter opened the fight against the
bill.
The House worked on minor
bills this morning and scheduled
an afternoon session to begin at
2:30 p.m. after a noon recess.
Nokes reminded the Senate
that when the tax bills originally
came up, both the House and Sen-
ate voted against a gas produc-
tion tax. He praised some points
in the conference report, especi-
ally the decision to leave the
rural road program unchanged.
Quick adoption by the House
and Senate could bring the legis-
lature’s 52nd general session to
an end this week .
These are the major provisions
of the conference tax bill:
1. It leaves the present rural
road program and bond assump-
tion surplus allocations to the
counties as they are now. This
was a concession to the House de-
at 3 p. m. Monday. Graveside
rites were observed by the
American Legion post of Marietta
and Goodrich Funeral home was
in charge of arrangements.
Lawrence Gieb, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Gieb, 1101 Culberson
street, was only slightly hurt
about 9:30 p.m. Saturday when
his new Chevrolet automobile
overturned and was badly
wrecked on highway 82, at the
northeast city limits of Gaines-
ville.
Gieb is employed by the Mon-
roe-Pearson Wholesale Grocery
company, Wichita Falls. He was
returning from Lake Texoma
where a party had been given for
company employes. As he was
traversing the curve on the high-
way, Gieb stated, another car
coming toward him forced him
off the pavement, causing the
automobile to overturn.
Gieb was taken to Medical &
Surgical hospital in a Vernie Keel
ambulance but was dismissed a
few minutes later when his only
injury appeared to be a slight cut
on one ear.
Identity of the driver of the
other car was not learned.

WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP) —
Gen. Omar Bradley said today
there is no military objection to
“taking the wraps off” Chinese
Nationalist forces to harass Red
China if American troops aren’t
involved.
Bradley, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, made this state-
ment in response to questions
from Senator George (D-Ga) at
Senate hearings on the dismissal
of Gen. MacArthur as Far East-
ern commander.
He also told the senators:
1. The United States would
have to “strip” its military power
elsewhere to carry out MacAr-
thur’s Korean war strategy.
2. There are no difference be-
tween the deposed general and
the administration over the ne-
cessity of keeping Formosa in
friendly hands.
Bradley opposed MacArthur’s
proposal for bombing Manchurian
supply bases, although he said
such action would be of military
value if there was assurance—
which he said couldn’t be given—
that Russia would not enter the
fighting.
George said he couldn’t see
why Chiang Kai-Shek couldn’t be
permitted to use his Nationalist
troops from Formosa to harass
China.
“Well,” Bradley replied, “from
the military point of view there
is no objections, as I see it, to
removing any restrictions on his
(Chiang’s) doing these things,
provided he doesn’t get mixed up
in such a way as to involve our
own forces.”
He added, however, that if the
Nationalists took such losses both
in men and equipment that they
jeopardized the security of For-
mosa the military thinking might
be different.
MacArthur’s proposed Korean
strategy includes a naval block-
ade of Red China, bombing of
Manchurian bases, and loosing
Chiang’s forces for operations
against the Chinese Communists.
The Nationalist Chinese are now
“neutralized” on Formosa.
MacArthur, when testifying be-
force the Senate inquiry into his
dismissal, contended his program
could be carried out without any
great increase in military
strength.
Bradley disputed that. He said
MacArthur’s proposals would
mean “spreading your effort a
great deal more than it is spread •
at the present time.”
Touching on the global necessi-
ties of the present time, Bradley
said it was important to build up
security forces " in Europe be-
cause Russia would be immense-
ly strengthened if it took over
Europe.

WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP) —
President Truman today asked
Congress to vote an additional
$1,090,491,704 including $800,000,-
000 to stockpile “strategic and
critical raw materials needed for
national defense.”
The appropriations requests
submitted to the House are for
the fiscal year starting July 1.
They cover supplemental needs
of the General Services adminis-
tration, the Commerce, Interior,
Justice and Treasury depart-
ments, and the Judiciary.
The largest request was for
$842,778,000 for the General Serv-
ices administration, which in-
cluded the $800,000,000 for stock-
piling.
“A total of $4,400,000,000 in
new obligational authority has
been made available for this pro-
gram (stockpiling) thus far,” a
White House statement said. “The
total includes $2,900,000,000 pro-
vided in the fiscal year 1951 to
accelerate current procurement
and to provide for long-term
commitments for deliveries from
new or expanded sources of
supply. In 1952 and later years,
therefore, it will be necessary to
provide for only current pro-
curement, that is for materials
which can be delivered in the
fiscal year 1952 or early in 1953,
and a relatively small amount
for long-term commitments.”
President Truman said today
he expects in the next two or
three days to ask Congress for
slightly more than $2,000,000,000
for ECA plus additional billions
for economic and military aid to
United States allies.
He told his capitol leaders
about it in the regular Monday
meeting at the White House.
Speaker Rayburn said Mr. Tru-
man had hoped to send the mes-
sage up today, but it was not
ready and he hoped to transmit
it in “about two or three days.”
Neither Rayburn nor Senate
Democratic leader McFarland
(Ariz) would give the total the
President will request in the

But they did say that the
amount to be asked for the Eco-
nomic Cooperation administration
would be “slightly over two bil-
lion dollars.” There have been re-
ports that the whole proposal
may run to about $9,000,000,000.
McFarland said the “impression
has gone out that there will be a
large figure recommended for
ECA” when actually the request
for that agency will be much
smaller than originally contem-
plated when the four-year Mar-
shall plan program of ecomomic
assistance was authorized.

Witnesses said the car appeared
to have gotten out of control
twice before it struck the bridge
and that it swerved first to one
side then the other of the bridge.
Fenders were torn off and the
entire left side of the auto was
ripped'open. The upholstery was
burst and the top of the car was
crushed down on top of the seats.
The hood and some of the fen-
ders were hurled over the bridge
into a small creek.
Chief of Police Lewis Theo-
bald and Patrolman Cecil Gold-
ston investigated the wreck and
directed traffic. Theobald said
it was 183 feet from where skid-
marks showed on the highway
until the car came to a stop. The
vehicle was totally demolished.

the Hongchon-I n j e road. It
shifted southeast to fill the
breach from the Hongchon high-
way to a point east of Pungam—
18 miles east of Honchon.
The spectacular move was
made while the division beat off
heavy Chinese attacks.
A curtain of air, artillery and
ground fire covered the shifting
division and took a bloody toll of
Communists.
Most of the Red casualties were
inflicted by the U.S. Second di-
vision, which the Communists
set out to destroy. The Eighth
army said the Second division
killed or wounded 37,750 Reds in
five days.
“We’ve taken the starch out of”
the defense, Almond said. “And I
feel certain that if they come at
us in even greater numbers we
can handle them again.
The Reds threw 250,000 men at
his sector in their second spring
offensive, Almond said. The first
Red all-out smash began April 22
and bogged down at the end of 10
days. .
In their new drive, the Reds
fell before the tremendous fire
power of U.N. artillery, planes
and automatic weapons . . . were
trapped on barb wire entangle-
ments . . . blown up by mines.
The enemy “may be getting
ready to strike again,” Almond
said, “and if he does we are pre-
pared to meet him.”
Much of Sunday’s record cas-
ualty toll, he said, was compiled
when artillery caught the Chi-
nese trying to carry off their dead
all along a two and a half mile
valley.
Eighth army reports and field
dispatches had given no hint to
heavy Red assaults Sunday.
