The GOP is in favor of free dom of speech, the same as I am. "I said that Major Roberts got what he asked for when lie was suspended by the Army for a speech he made before the Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington. He defied regula tions and all of us should be glad to know that the Army is still under civilian control." Mrs. Robb said she spoke with conviction about the ex tremists of the far right and meant every word she said. "What we are seeing," she said, "is the development of a splinter political group which is Fascist, the same as in Italy. The John Birch Society is made up of people who don't want to pay taxes. They are not capable of coping with the 20th century." Booklet Prompted Remarks She said the finding of an anti Communist booklet in her room instead of a Bible prompted her off-the-cuff re marks Saturday at the lunch con. The owner of the hotel, Jack Stewart, said he was very upset about the content of the speech. He said he had one of his sons ask the Robbs to leave. Stewart said he has devoted a great deal of lime to a pro gram against communism, and had installed a "freedom shelf" in the guest room which includes about SO books by many anti-Communist authors. htm-' Hii positive, practical program wilt ilimuljlt rht banc induitriei of this rt Fomt Induitritt, firming ind Tourist.

Supreme Court Two Killed, Three Hurt as Ships Hit at Mouth of Chesapeake Bay Washington - lUPIt The Su preme Court ruled today that the Federal Power commis sion cannot approve a mer ger of two piplines when the government is challenging the same merger in court un der antitrust laws. The 5-2 rulin set' aside the merger of the El Paso Natural Gas. Co. and Pacific North west Pipeline Corp., which took place with commission approval Dec. 31, 1959. ine majority opinion was written by Justice William O. Douglcs. Justice John M. Harlan wrote a dissent in which Ji i.ice Potter Stew art jonicd. Justices Felix Frankfurter and Byron R. White took no part in the de cision. New Procedural Rule Harlan protested that the majority had evolved "a new and surprising antitrust pro cedural rule," which could apply to all government agen cies where antitrust laws are applicable. He said the decision creates "a wholly artificial imbalance between antitrust law enforce ment and administrative reg ulation . . ." Douglas, however, said that if an antitrust decision holds illegal a transaction approve 1 earlier- by the FPC "an un scrambling" would become necessary involving "a need less waste of time and mon ey." "Also these unscrambling processes often raise compli cated and perplexing prob lems on lax matters," he add ed. Douglas also said FPC ap proval "is bound to carry mo mentum into the antitrust trust suit." 'The very prospect of un doing what was done raises a powerful influence in the an titrust litigation," the opin-j ion asserted. "The orderly procedure is for the commis sion to await decision in the antitrust suit before taking action." The commission approved the acquisition of assets in the El Paso case while a U.S. District Court' in Salt Lake City delayed trhl of a gov ernment civil suit under the Clayton Antitrust Law. California brought the case to the high court. Sold in California The great bulk of El Paso's gas is sold for distribution in California. Its system extends from Texas and New Mexico gas fields through Arizona and New Mexico to the Cali fornia border. Before the merger Pacific Northwest operated from the Canadian border through Washington. Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and lorado.

Stock List Stages Substantial Rally New York-iUPU-Stocks came off the floor to stage a sub stantial early rally today. A sizable gain in the Dow Jones industrial average re flected a rise of 2 in Amer ican Telephone and jumps of around a point in Du Pont and Union Carbide among the chemicals. General Motors, U.S. Steel and Woolworth. American Motors was an other stronge one. up7s on heavy turnover in view of quadrupled fiscal first half earnings, and standard Oil of California added a good frac tion In the oils after being de signated "slock of tile month" by a leading adivsory service. Stocks sold off more sharp ly last week than in any week ly period of the year so far. Also unsettling was the fact that volume steadily picked up on the decline, lopping 4 cades which carved a dividing line across the city. Ten units of the Moslem "local force" - approximately 500 men - held positions for the first time on the fringes of the Moselm suburbs that recently have been the scenes of murderous OAS attacks. The object of scaling off the downtown area was to halt the terrorism of OAS com mandos operating from speed ing cars and to discourage demonstrations by Europeans at key intersections. The offensive, dubbed "Op eration Katz," was believed to be the start of the long-awaited push to wipe out the Euro pean extremists who oppose President Charles de Gaulle's plans for an independent Al geria. Terrorism Reduced The moves by Katz' men helped reduce terrorism in Oran, but elsewhere in Al geria Sunday the casulaty toll continued at its usual level. Shootings and bombings kill ed 14 persons and injured 9 others, raising the known toll since Jan. 1 to 4,039 dead and 8,353 injured. Oran, a seaport in western Algeria, is a center of OAS activity aimed at keeping Al geria from Moslem rule. OAS extremists have been commit ting terrorism in hopes of pro voking Moslem violence that would sabotage the French Algerian cease fire. Barber Wilhelmsen. company, Tossenburg, Norway, carried 47 crewmen and 12 passen gers. A Coast Guard boat evac uated most of the persons on the ship. The Coast Guard said the Tarantel had left New York for Newport News to pick up general cargo. She apparently was to have proceeded to ports in Central America. The Hel lenic Splendor, owned by Hel lenic Lines Ltd., was bound for Philadelphia from Baltimore. Sunday, May 13 ne W MOTHER'S H DAY Cgg) CARDS 217 I. Mi.'
