COBBLER IS ORDERED DEPORTED’ TO OHIO

NEW YORK, Dec, 27 (U. P.).— Rosario Chirillo, 62-year-old Mamaroneck, N. Y., cobbler, has lost his fight to keep from being “deported,” with his wife and four of his children, back to Wooster, O., his former home. The removal order against the Chirillos had been signed under a century-old state public welfare statute which authorizes the deportation of persons “who belong ta another state” when it is to New York's advantage to do so. The Chirillos had accepted public welfare assistance in Mamaroneck. Chirillo appealed to the court of appeals at Albany and was overruled last July 24. Subsequently he appealed to a special statutory tribunal in federal court on constitutional grounds. That court ruled yesterday that “the judgment of the state court may not be reviewed by a hill in equity in Federal Court.” The ruling left the Sheriff of Westchester County free to execute the removal order. The order did not apply to Mary, 19, who found work and gave evidence of being

-| able to support herself.

U.S. STEPS INTO MUSIC DISPUTE

Plans Criminal Proceedings To Protect Interests of The Public.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 (U. PJ). —Thé Federal Government, acting “to protect the public interest,” today entered the war among com-

‘posers, publishers and broadcasters

of music.

Attorney General Robert H. Jackson announced last night that the Justice Department after Jan, 1 would institute. criminal proceedings under the Sherman Anti-trust Act against the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the Broadcast Music, Inc. the National Broadcasting Co. and the Columbia Broadcasting System. The suits: will be brought in Milwaukee, Wis. ;

The Government had sought to|

reconcile the dispute by obtaining voluntary agreement of the parties to a consent decree.

ASCAP Changes Stand

The United Press was informed that after tentatively agreeing tc the terms of that decree, ASCAP changed its mind last Sunday at a special meeting of its directors. NBC and CBS, which formed BMI to provide substitute music for that controlled by ASCAP, have set Jan. 1 as the date when they will stop using ASCAP music—the music of such composers as Victor Herbert, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter.

Assistant Attorney General Thur-|

man Arnold, whose department will prosecute the Government's case, announced that the Government was not concerned with whether ASCAP or BMI was the aggressor in the music war; that each organizd4tion is charged with illegal methods to wrest control of copyright music from the other.

Claim Music Pooled

Mr. Jackson said the defendants would be charged with pooling most of the desirable copyright music to eliminate competition and monopolize the supply, discrimination against non-members of ASCAP and BMI, illegal price fixing, re-

straining composers from bargain-|

ing for themselves, requiring users of music to pay for tunes on programs which do not use music, and boycotts by the radio networks, ASCAP and BMI which “threaten to restrain” radio rendition of 90 per cent of “desirable” modern music. Charging both ASCAP and BMI with engaging in boycotts and “illegal methods” in an effort to dominate music output, Mr. Arnold said: “In such a struggle the public is in the position of a neutral caught between two aggressive belligerents. Such a situation would be a private war at the expense of the public.
