FAILURE TO EMPLOY PLAINTIFF IS BASIS Four Charged With Persuading Others to Agree on Con- tract Breach. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, presi- dent of Howard University, and three of his trustees were sued for $250,000 in District Court today by Albert I. Cassell, noted architect and developer of the 20-year plan for improvement of the university. The suit, which grew out of failure to employ Cassell as architect on the new buildings, airs internal strife at the university which frequently has broken into the newspapers in the last four years. Trustees sued along with Dr. John- son were Thadeous L. Hungate, Co- lumbia University; Thomas Jesse Jones, New York City, and Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, 2408 Massachusetts avenue. Discussed by Dobbins. The matter had been discussed some time ago by Nathan A. Dob- | bins, newly elected president of the General Alumni Association, in a keynote speech before his election. Dobbins roundly censured Dr. John- son and members of the Board of Trustees for not continuing the pro- testing architect in charge of the building program. Through Attorneys Charles S.

Cassell said he had charge of the erection of all buildings constructed under the 20-year program until the time came for the letting of contracts for the library and the men’'s dormi- tory. Tells of Broken Agreement, Dr. Johnson and the trustees named in the suit approached the various ‘members of the Board of Trustees and officials of the Interior Department in regard to the contracts for the two new buildings and persuaded them to breach the agreement with him, the plaintiff declared. This action he de- scribed as ‘“malevolent, vicious, ma- licious and unlawful conduct.” As a result of the “slanderous in- terference” of the defendants, the Secretary of the Interior appointed a committee to investigate the mat- ter, Cassell stated, adding that as a result of the investigation the Sec- retary wrote Dr. Johnson that he was willing for Cassell to be awarded the contract for the men’s dormitories. The architect charged that this let- ter was deliberately suppressed so that certain members of the board did not know of its existence. The archi- tectural firm suggested by university authorities to the Secretary of the Interior for the job was rejected be- cause of its “limited experience” and “‘excessive fee.” Cassell said the action by the de- fendants injured him in his profes- sional standing and deprived him of emoluments which would have ac- crued to him through the erection of the dormitories and library and of ad- | ditional buildings to be erected in | pursuance to the 20-year plan. BRIDE, ON HONEYMOON, INJURED IN AUTO CRASH Mrs. Ben Parsons Hurt When Car Is Wrecked Near Braw- ley, Calif. The honeymoon of Ben Parsons, 25, of 1973 Biltmore street and the former Mildred Mulitz, 32, of Capitol Heights, Md., was interrupted yesterday when their automobile was wrecked on the San Diego Highway west of Brawley, Calif., according to an Associated Press dispatch. Mrs. Parsons was reported painfully but not eritically injured, and her hus- band, a pharmacist, apparently was unhurt. At the time of the accident they were en route to Washington after a visit with his relatives at Long Beach, Calif. They were married here June 14 and planned, after the honeymoon, to live with the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mulitz, until Fall. Parsons, an employe in a drug store in the 1800 block of Columbia road, had heen living with his parents, Mr, and Mrs. A. N. Parsons, and a sister, Mrs. N. J. Moll, at the Biltmore street address. .

Van Duzer explained that the ban was ordered because the street is double-tracked for street cars at switching points and it is so narrow that one car beside either curb makes it impossible for traffic to move past a street car. Residents of the street complained that no advance notice was given of the change, but at the Traffic Depart- ment it was explained that no advance notice is required, it being a part of the powers of the Police Department. Van Duzer said the matter had been under consideration for some time. One objection to the ban is that residents may not now park their cars in front of their homes, a right that is generally conceded without restrictions throughout the city except in the most congested downtown areas. It also will work a hardship on the stores it was pointed out. The area | is zoned first commercal. Youth Who Threw Firecracker on Woman Is Fined By a Staff Correspondent ot The Star.

BY J. A. O'LEARY. Undiscouraged by the failure of the Seventy-fourth Congress to take action on his plan to preserve private pension systems in industry, Senator Clark, | Democrat, of Missouri, made known | today he will reintroduce his proposed amendment to the social security law at the opening of the new Congress. Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, chairman of the joint subcommittee in charge of the question, also re- affirmed today his belief that legisla- tion should be enacted to keep vol- | untary systems going after the com- pulsory Federal retirement plan be- comes effective. Tax Bill Blamed. Senator Clark believes progress toward an agreement on a private pension amendment was made during the last session, and that action might have been obtained if members of the special subcommittee had not been required to concentrate on the tax bill during the last few weeks before adjournment. The same men who formed the subcommittee were on the Conference Committee on the tax measure. The pay roll taxes on employers and employes in connection with the Fed- eral old-age retirement plan become PENIONS BATTLE Amendment to Security Law | would prevent Congress from taking action within a month or two there- after to exempt industries that operate | retirement plans of equal or greater benefit to their workers. The social security law does not pre- vent industries from supplementing the retirement benefits called for under the federally controlled system. Several lawyers in the Senate, however, have expressed grave doubt on the constitutionality of the Federal sys- tem, even though the taxes on em- ployers and employes are dealt with in a section of the law separate from the section establishing the retirement benefits. Setback in Movement Feared. Scme of these lawmakers have pointed out that if industries discon- tinue their voluntary plans when the time comes to start the Federal sys- tem, and the Government plan should fail to meet the test of constitutional- ity, the result would be a decided set- back for the voluntary retirement movement, which has been going for- ward for more than 20 vears. The original Clark amendment called for exemption from the Federal taxes in industries operating equally beneficial plans. To eliminate the:ob- jection that ‘tax exemption might weaken the legality of the law, the amendment was 1ewritten to require Government later making grants in aid to industries which operate private systems meeting standards laid down by the Government.

John A. Lomax, curator of folk songs for the Library of Congress, today launched a Nation-wide search for in- formation concerning “Staving Chain,” a mythical American character. Although songs and fables represent him as possessing the strength of . giant and the industry of a beaver, folk tunes describe him primarily as & Casanova of the cotton fields. “Never in all my days of folk song exploration,” said Lomax who has pursued his topic for 29 years, “have I run across anything like Staving Chain when it comes to the ladies.” Stories of his love-making are sung in the mountains, the valleys, along the rivets and on the deltas. The curator—who recently com- pleted a tour of Southern prison camps with the famous Sugarland, Tex., con- Lomax, Song Sleuth, Trails Casanova of Cotton Fields vict, James “Ironhead” Baker—said he found his best description of “Staving Chain” in Lafayette, La. “I had heard of him for many years,” he said, “but this was the first man who could give me any hint as to where he might have orig inated. Se said ‘Staving Chain came originally from Virginia.” Unlike such epic figures of Amer- ican folk lore as the powerful “John Henry,” “Staving Chain” had more brains, more charm, more initiative, more clothes and, above all else, more women than any man in the myth- ical background of his people, Lomax said. “But nobody,” sighed the curator, “seems to be able to tell me where he got his name or what it means.” Lomax will leave the “apital shortly to renew his hunt for “~:aving Chain” legends in North Caroline. all industries to pey the taxes, with the | municatior f “Traffic cc needed when way are fiy | clouds and arc struments an ! by the Bureau of such times it is especially nec that afrcraft be kept adequately s rated, either horizontally or vertic: or both, so that th can be no poss bility of a collision.
