Senate Excise Committee to come up with a reason
able settlement. Thousands of persons associated with
the liquor industry have flooded Albany in the past
week opposing the proposed fee hikes.
Meanwhile, as District Attorney Frank Hogan
sought to have former SLA chairman Martin Epstein’s1
wife returned to New York from Florida, Gov. Rocke
feller named a new Moreland Act Commission to probe
state liquor laws. Rumors circulated that several more
top GOP figures would be called in the growing probe.
Mayor Wagner appeared to be in political trouble
in his role as the top state leader as two top city offi
cials, Comptroller Abe Beame and Brooklyn Borough
President Abe Stark, broke with the Mayor and an
nounced their support behind Brooklyn Democratic
leader Stanley Steingut.
The fight started last weekend when the Mayor
took the job of Ross DeLorenzo as a City Tax Com
missioner in a move to weaken Steingut. Political
sources indicated several other leaders, including
Bronx Boss Charles Buckley, and- Nassau County
Democratic leader John English, may join the swing
away from Wagner.
"BEAME-ING” — Brooklyn
Borough President Abe Stark,
who Tuesday led a revolt of
Brooklyn Democrats against
Mayor Robert F. Wagner In
what some believed to be ’h*
opening of a campaign to elect
City Comptroller Abraham D.
Beame mayor. See story on

Englewood school system since
July 1, 1962. said that last Sep
tember, when the Negro parent*
boycotted the same school, the
boycott was sixty per cent ef
fective the first day and grew
progressively greater.
Up To Parents
G u i Harrison, Englewood
NAACP head and leader of the
Englewood Movement said:
“Quite naturally everything de
pends upon the parents and their
determination to see thia boycott
through. The city of Englewood
has refused to act to provide
integration. We want the state to
intervene and force Integration.
And we will boycott Lincoln
School until it does,” he said.
Harrison said that Negro pu
pils being held from cl asset are

Powell told the Amsterdam
News, “The President has spoken,
the Attorney General ha* spoken
in praise of the Domestic Peace
Corps, and every day nay mail
Is coming In overwhelmingly with
people praising me.”
' Typical of his mail, Powell mid,
was a tetter from a Brooklyn
girl who wrote, "You are now,
unequivocally the greatest lead
er we have."
It was in reference to a com
ment Powell had made last week
at a Washington press confer
ence when be sold that recent
attack* on him were “because
I am a Negro, unequivocally.”
JFK’ Praise
At his press conference last
Thursday, toe President said that
Powell -hod not "embaraased”
the White House by his activities,
and praised him as an effective
Congressman and Committee
chairman. Ho said Powell needed
no defense because “he has been
able to take care of himself in
the past."
Earlier last week Attorney Gen-
oral Robert Kennedy praised the
pilot project of the Domestic
Peace Corps which Powell aided
in coming to Harlem, and score*
of Negro leaders have Joined in
praising Powell. Throughout liar
tem moat leaders, Irrespective of
past aff’Uations, were Joining In
defense of Powell.
J. Raymond Jones, prominent
Harlem Democratic leader In a
nationally - tetevlaed Interview
Sunday, said that most Negroes
feel Powell has contributed to
their success, and “they feel he
has been their champion and gets
results because of his flamboy
ance.”
Attorney Paul Zuber, a long
time local critic of Powell in the
television Interview, said that
Senator William* created the lm-
preaeton tn the minds of Powell’
constituents that Powell was an
underdog and Senator William*
wis showing racial prejudice.
This Week In
Wall Street
By Philip M. Jenkins, Investment Broker,
President of Special Markets Inc.
The upward trend of the market continues, with
activity broad as different industries take the lead. In
spite of some backing and filling, the bullish character
istic generally predominates giving the market a steady
’though not exciting agressive tone. Auto stocks re
main popular on continuing good production and sales
reports. However, other retail sales
were off in January.
Financial problems that beset the
large discount stores (this col. Jan. 5th)
continue to give their stockholders the
jitters. According to Dun & Bradstreet
Inc., 29 discount houses acknowledged
that they couldn’t pay their creditors In
full last month, — twice as many as in
January of ’62.
_
Masters Inc. which operates eleven Jenkins
stores has filed a petition nt bankruptcy to keep from
being closed by creditors, while it tries to work out a
formula for paying off nearly 5 million dollars in debts
Discount stores in other large cities throughout the
country are having similar difficulties.’ It is interest
ing to note that their sales continue to go up, while net
profits go down for reasons previously mentioned in
this column. Merchandise suppliers are causing addi
tional worries as they increase the tightening of credit.
Of the Eastern-based companies, E. J. Korvette
Inc. of New York and Vomado Inc. of New Jersey con
tinue to open new stores and seem to be in good finan
cial condition.
Dad’s Christmas electric train set with its remote
control unit now has a full-size counterpart that is
causing much concern among railroad men and rail
stock holders.
Automatic Trains
Fully automatic electronically controlled trains are
currently in service in this country and Canada on
short hauls of from one-half mile to six miles.
In one instance, a single man in a control tower
replaces sixteen crewmen. These are considered to
be the forerunners of inter-city trains that may well
become a common sight within the next ten years.
Crewless engines and railroad automation general
ly are giving rise to a series of labor disputes which
are further aggravated by last year’s ruling of a federal
court that railroads do have the right to change work
rules.
------------- -
One of the proposed changes would abolish 65,000
jobs, primarily those of railroad firemen. Railroad
unions have appealed the ruling to the U.S. Supreme
Court, and threaten to call a nation-wide strike unless
the ruling is reversed.
Airline Merger
The Pan American World Airways - Trans World
Airlines merger (this coL Jan. 5th) may be delayed
for years if the Civil Aeronautics Board grants Howard
Hughes’ request for an anti-trust investigation of the
Equitable Life Assurance Co. and the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. Hughes alleges that those two companies
dominate the financing of five of the country’s largest
airlines, and therefore come within the jurisdiction of
the CAB.
Hughes failed to appear in Federal District Court
in Los Angeles last week for questioning in the 115
million dollar anti-trust suit filed against the Hughes’
interests by TWA. This “no show’’ by Hughes opens
the way for the airline to try for a default judgment
against him.
