Mann Act Case Called
Without Equal Here;
Suspect's Bail Raised
George A. Clainos. 29. of the MOO
block of Iowa avenue N.W.. today]
pleaded not guilty when arraigned
in District Court on charges of vio
lating the White Slave Traffic Act,
pandering and assault. He was in
dicted yesterday.
Acting on request of Assistant
United States Attorney Edward
Molenof. Justice Jennings Bailey
raised Clainos- bail to $15,000, or
$5,000 higher than the bail on which
the defendant, had been free. Clai
nos had not posted the higher bail
up to shortly before noon. The $10,
000 bail had been set by United
States Commissioner Needham C.
Turnage at a preliminary arraign
ment.
Prosecutor Molenof described
Clainos' case in court as being with
out parallel in the District "for
sheer brass and actual intimidation
of Government witnesses.”
Meanw'hile. Heddy Marie Croxton,
25. principal witness in the case,
today was reported in protective
custody of Justice Department
agents.
The Government still is conduct-,
ing an investigation of reported in
timidation of witnesses by unidenti
fied persons.
The indictment names Clainos in
10 counts, including three charges
of violating the White Slave Traffic
Act, six charges of pandering and
one of assault.
Clainos is charged with trans
porting the woman from North
Carolina to the District in July,
1945, for the purpose of having her
engage in prostitution: also with'
transporting her from New Jersey'
to the District on June 10 of this;
year and of transporting her from
North Carolina to the District last
month.
The pandering charges accuse1
him of receiving sums ranging from
$30 to $140 and totaling $340 for
causing and arranging for her to
engage in prostitution.
The tenth count accuses Clainos
of beating the woman. The indict
ment was returned before Justice
Bailey.
Meanwhile, police are investigat
ing the case of Teresa G. Mackey,
34. a Government witness in the
Clainos case, who was reported
overcome by gas under suspicious
circumstances last Thursday.

Owners Agreed 10 Weeks Ago.
Ship owners, 10 weeks ago, agreed i

East and Gulf areas won a $27.50

that the pay should be held to

June.
Mr. Steelman's formula for end-1
ing the strike amounted to over
ruling the Stabilization Board andj
is. according to President Truman, a
slight modification of wage-price
policy.
Stabilization rules were amended
to allow a Federal agency, when en
gaged in an industry along with pri
vate enterprise, to raise wages—
without Stabilization Board ap
proval—to the same extent that a
“substantial part of the private in
dustry raises them.
In making the ruling. Mr. Steel
man applied the old Government
policy of paying “prevailing wages"
of an industry. It is followed most
commonly by the Government in
the construction field, where it is
employed about as liberally as the
reconversion director has done in
the maritime case.
Assumes Private Dominance.
Mr. Steelman's plan assumes that;
more than half of American ships
i are now in private hands. It had1
been assumed up until his plan was
announced that the Government
still controlled the bulk of shipping,
but vessels are being rapidly trans
ferred to private ownership. Con
gress ordered the Maritime Commis
] sion to liquidate its holdings.
I The Steelman formula would ap
ply only if the following factors
are present:
1. The Government operations
, must constitute less than half the
i total operations of the industry
(measured by either the number
' of ethployes or the total dollar j
volume of business),
i 2. The private operators them
ir=.- 1 -
selves must absorb thi cost of any
wage increases not approved by the
WSB. They must not apply for
Higher prices or rates. That is,
private operations would remain
under WSB control as before.
Board Upheld on One Point.
While Mr. Steelman found a way
around Stabilization Board veto of
above-pattern seamen's pay, he up
held the board in one respect. The
employers must absorb the amounts
above their industry pattern without |
passing it along to the public in the
form of higher rates or prices.
The effect of the modification of
wage policy on the rest of labor
remains to be seen Some officials
admitted that it could lead to wide
spread demands for higher wages.
But the industries directly affected!

by the action are only those in which
the Government too is engaged.
If the CIO seamen receive the
same pay boost as the AFL. as un
doubtedly will happen, it will be
a "second-round'' reconversion in
crease. something stabilization of
fiCials to far have refused to con
done.
Mr. Steelman was confronted with
the problem of either finding a way
;to satisfy the strikers or of fighting
rlt out with all maritime labor He
felt, months would be required to
break the strikq— months that could
bring disaster to the national econ
omy. Mr. Steelman and other of
ficials held the strike was unneces
sary and caused by Government
agency fumbling. They do not blame
the unions.
