Coroner’s JurytFails
To Place Blame for
Fatal Truck Accident
The driver of a skidding laundry
truck which crushed to death Har
land Beck, 44, of 1321 Belmont
street N.W., on August 28 was re
leased today in the custody of his
attorney after a coroner’s jury
failed to reach a decision on his
responsibility.
Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald
ordered the driver, Stanley Day, 30,
of 1110 Baum street N.E., released
pending further action by the
United States attorney’s office.
The Jury stayed out one hour
yesterday afternoon before an
nouncing it could reach no verdict.
Mr. Beck was standing in front
of a building at 3303 O street N.W.
I inspecting it for painting when the
I accident occurred. Police Sergt.
; Walter R. Ostrom testified that the
truck skidded from the center of
j the street, crashed into a parked
I car, then jumped up on the side
walk and pinned Mr. Beck against
! a railing in front of the building.
At the time Day was charged with
driving at an unreasonable speed
and driving a car after suspension
of his permit. He told the jury he
was traveling slowly through heavy
rain. As he applied the brakes the
truck skidded on the streetcar tracks
and- went out of control.
Police produced no witnesses to the
accident. Mrs. Isabel Worral, 3327
'O street N.W., testified she saw the
* i Air Iriiols on ininrfnni ilict
; before the accident and that it' was
going at the "usual rate of speed.”
j In another inquest, the corner's
ljury cleared Calvin H. Campbell, 16.
of 4542 Wilson boulevard, Arlington,
of responsibility in the traffic death
of Vaughn Doggett, 36, colored, 916Vi
Liberty street S.W. Mr. Doggett was
| struck by an automobile driven by
the youth at Maine avenue and I
street S.W. on August 28.

think a man who has been a pro
fessional soldier should be in any
political capacity.”
He added that if a soldier served
in a political capicity, "I do not think
it is good for the Army and it is not
good fol- the soldier.”
Refusing to elaborate on his re
; marks relating to politics, Gen.
j Eisenhower said. "I want nothing to
do with partisan politics. The job
at Columbia is big enough to chal
lenge the capacity of any man.”
He said the entire purpose of his
i trip heer was "to get better ac
quainted with Columbia and look
| around the surrounding country for
a place where my wife and I can
finally settle down.” ^
"Fundamentally I am a farmer,”
Gen. Eisenhower said, "and I want
to find a place out of town where I
can raise a few tomatoes and beans
and get close to the soil.”
On his three-day visit here Gen.
Eisenhower will be the guest of

president of the Kansas City Star,
and friend of the Kansas-born gen
eral. Mr. Roberts wrote that the
58-year-old general "is absolutely
honest when he says * * * he doesn’t
want to be President of the United
States.” If for the first time in
nisiory mere was an nonest arait
from the people without conniving
and intrigue, the general would
accept,’’ Mr. Roberts added.
Notwithstanding Gen. Eisen
hower's declaration yesterday that
he "deplores'’ the organization of
clubs to work, for his nomination,
j leaders announced .they will go
ahead anyway.
Moreover, the possibility of an
Eisenhower nomination was cited
by former Gov. Alf M. Landon, 1936
GOP presidential nominee. The
former Kansas Governor, replying
to a question by Newspaper Col
umnist Raymond Moley, said that if
Gen. Eisenhower runs for President
it will not be for the Democratic
nomination and that Kansas will
support him if he runs.
“I’m not aware of it," Gen. Eisen
hower said when asked about the
i Landon letteit "I met Gov. Landon
once. What his ideas are I don't
j know. I’ve told people that when
I get through being a soldier there
is something else I want to do.
(This was taken as a reference to
his forthcoming post as president
of Columbia University.! I honestly
don’t want t» do anything else.”
Deplores Private Spending.
As for “Draft Eisenhower” clubs,
! Gen. Eisenhower said he hopes “no
one will be attracted into spending
? his hard-earned dollars or time on
i this.” He added he never heard of
the organizers, "although they may
be fine people.”

League.” announced here that the
drive will not stop.
“He still doesn’t say ‘no,’" Mr.
Spalding commented “We are go
ing ahead. The league has now
grown to such proportions that, re
gardless of our own convictions, it
will go forward because it is too big
to be stopped.”
The league is encouraging forma
tion of clubs throughout the coun
try, Mr. Spalding said. He explained
the work is being financed “out of
our own wallets,” except for a, few
dollars coming into the central head
quarters here. Other officers of the
league are Robert M. Haar, presi
dent, and Maurice B. Mumford, ex
ecutive vice president, both of Wash
ington.
Democrats Also Interested.
Proposals for an Elsenhower draft
were not. confined to a possible
Republican nomination. Senator
Sparkman, Democrat, of Alabama
declared he "wholeheartedly con
curs with a recent suggestion of
Representative Smathers, Democrat,
of Florida that a Truman-Eisen
hower ticket be nominated by the
Democrats in 1948.
"The Republicans wouldn’t give
Eisenhower the nomination unless
they became deadlocked at their
convention,” Seator Sparkman said.
"And even then, if they turned to a
, military man I think they’d pick
Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Gen.
Eisenhowever is a Democrat by na
ture. We can give him the vice
presidential nomination now and
the presidential nomination four
years later.”
Landon Analyzes Chances.
Former Gov. Landon, asked by
Mr. Moley to evaluate Gen. Eisen
howers political chances, listed
these five points:
1. "If the general is a candidate
i in 1948 his home State of Kansas
will be for him."
2. “If the general is a candidate
j it will be for the Republican, not
: the Democratic, nomination.”
3. "Unless the general takes him
self out of the picture by some
i unequivocal statement, he will be
| a factor at the Philadelphia con
vention, whether an announced
candidate or not."
4. Although he has never held
political office. "No man could have
risen as high as Gen. Eisenhower in
the Army without three attributes
which any successful President
must have: (1> Leadership, i2>
administrative ability, and (3) a
•keen knowledge of politics."
5. "At the moment, the general is
a long way from th% nomination.
Much stands in his path. Delegates
| to a political convention demand a
great deal of information about a
candidate: How does he stand on
this issue, how on that issue? Are
his sympathies to the left of cen
ter, center, or to the right? * * *
What he does in the next nine
months will provide the answers.
It is up to the general, no one else.”

U. S. Move to Transfer
Balkan Case Reported
ly th« Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 11.—The
United States was reliably reported
today to have formally moved to
have the Balkan question dropped
from the Security Council agenda—
a step necessary to permit the 55
national General Assembly to act on
the problem.
A spokesman for the American
delegation said Herschel V. John
son, deputy American delegate, had
asked that the Balkan issue be put
on the calendar of the Council’s
next meeting so that the United
States could propose the necessary
action. *
Under the U. N. Charter, the As
sembly may discuss matters which
are under active consideration in
the Security Council but may not
make recommendations. The As
sembly will begin its session next
Tuesday at Flushing Meadow Park
in New York. No date for the next
Council meeting has been set.
The American spokesman said the
United States was prepared to offer
a resolution to meet the Charter re-j
quirements. He said, however, that
it was not yet sure whether the reso
lution would provide that the Bal
kan case be dropped outright. It
might be possible, he said, merely to
declare that the question was- no
longer under active consideration.

procedure.
He suggested that shipper opposi
tion consolidate to present their
answers the first three days of next
week.
The full 11-member commission!
then will sit next Thursday to hear
Closing arguments of both sides.
Regarding the 27 ^>er cent in
crease, Mr. Aitchison told the at
torneys for both sides:
“It is obvious that the major
(27 per cent) question will require
hearings elsewhere than in Wash
ington. It will be our intention, at
appropriate times and places, to,
provide one hearing in each of the j
four major territories '—the East.!
South, West, and Mountain Pacific
areas.
When shippers' counsel questioned
the indicated time for cross-exam
ining railroad witnesses on the 10
per cent increase, Mr. Aitchison
commented: "We should all remem
ber we are dealing here with a
national problem which concerns
145.000,000 people. Otherwise we will
be here until next Christmas.”

Douglas Recovers
From Strep Infection.

LOSTINE. Oreg., Sept. 11.—As
sociate Justice William O. Douglas
of the Supreme Court yesterday said
he has recovered from a strepto
coccic infection and expects to re
turn shortly to Washington from his
summer home here.
Several weeks ago he informed
the Supreme Court office that he
wouldn't return until the infection

He said he supposed the court- de

if we are to be in a position to sup
port our domestic economy and to
fulfill the commitments which we
have made and are in the process of
making elsewhere in the world.”
No Accusation of Conspiracy.
Mr. Brubaker emphasized that his
union is not concerned with imput
ing any conspiracy on the part of
the industry to preserve scarcity.”
He suggested that the committee
at make a study of possible legis
lative action, <2) a survey of export
needs in the light of the Marshall
plan for Europe's rehabilitation, and
(3) if necessary, ask for a meeting
of industry, labor and Government
officials to be called by President
Truman to "draw up a joint program
for expansion."
Industry spokesmen have con
tended that the present capacity is
sufficient to take care of foreseeable
requirements. Mr. Brubaker argued
that they based their estimates on
an historical pattern which gives
undue emphasis to the depression
years of the '30s.
If the industry does not expand.
Mr. Brubaker suggested, the Govern
ment might have to "build and lease
the necessary facilities.”

The jurist—a National Profes

man after a chaje through down

“I saw the man hit the woman,"
says' the 5-foot, 4-inch judge. “I

Police identified the man tackled
as Charles McFeeley, 41, of Charle

tranged wife, Lois. McFeeley was
charged with assault and battery on
a complaint filed by his wife.
Asked to compare his latest tackle
