g “Justice Department Goes Slow on Pipeline Consent Ruling.

2 By MARSHALL M’NEIL ie - Times Special Writer

" WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. — The

4 Justice Department has not yet agreed to a consent decree which would settle a major oil pipeline ‘suit—a suit that is still to be filed— “and it has not yet formally con.rsented to forgive approximately two . ‘billion dollars in claims against . pipeline companies that would. be named .in the litigation, it was learned today. Moreover, before it signs any such ..consent decree, it doubtless will _Jhave to deal with Senator Guy M. Gillette (D. Ia.). The Senator has ..informed department officials, he % said, that he is “much disturbed” "over the prospect that major oil . suits, including the pending’ anti-,-trust suit against most of the in- , dustry, may be dimissed or emasid cula ie Recalling that more than a year ago some detense officials had . protested the filing of the anti“trust suit on the ground that it ‘might impede preparedness, Mr. , Gillette said he could see no con- * ‘nection between improving national defense and abandoning claims for some $2,000,000,000 in pipeline fore- -. feitures. -

Three Suits Pending

. The Government has three suits on file against pipeline - companies, alleging that two Federal laws pro-#-hibiting rebates and’ refunds or - -other off-sets aaginst regular tariff . Charges are being violated. : Within recent weeks, Justice De‘partment officials have conferred “with pipeline company lawyers over “a proposal to file a suit covering all _ interstate lines, and at the same “time to enter a consent decree pro2: ‘hibiting rebates and fixing what .. would be tantamount to a ceiling : ‘over the carriers’ profits. This would be a profit ceiling; according to one Jessie of the proposed decree, of ul per cent on the com 3 investments. Panies « Arrangements were made to have “pipeline company lawyers gather . -here this week to sign a decree. The _-attorneys met and conferred and s-Charles Thompson, Philadelphia :-lawyer for the Atlantic Refining Co., ..was one of their spokesmen. He discussed the proposed agreement - with Justice officials, but they could > not approve a decree, if only be‘cause Attorney General Francis Biddle and Thurman Arnold, head of the anti-trust division, were out - of town.

AMERICAN LAW

Move Would Strenghten Hemispheric Relations, Commission Feels.

Bq SAM TYNDALL

A plan to outline uniform legislation on legal procedure for all of the states of the 21 American

today by the National Conference

Laws. The Conference, opening its weeklong session at the Hotel Lincoln, was for the first time extending the scope of its program beyond the limits of the United States in considering such a plan. The Conference of Commissioners is a deliberative body of prominent attorneys throughout the nation, which promotes uniformity in state laws within the U. S. on all subjects in which uniform legal procedure is advantageous.

Urged by N. U. Dean

The proposal to ask Latin-Ameri-can officials to join in a hemispherewide uniform procedure plan was presentéd to the Conference’s Executive Committee today by Col. John H. Wigmore, dean emeritus of Northweste niversity Law School. Under the plan the U. S. State Department and Federal Department of Justice would be asked by the Conference to meet with Conference leaders and extend invitation to officials of Lafin-American Republics to meet with Conference officials to work out uniform codes on legal procedure for all - states; similar to uniform laws for states within the United States. J. C. Pryor, Burlington, Ia., chairman of the Executive Committee, presented the proposal for Col. Wigmore, who is unable to attend the Conference. Mr. Pryor said talks had already begun between Conference leaders and legal counsels of the State Department.

Avoids Friction

The move is designed, Mr. Pryor said, to promote good-will throughout the Western Hemisphere by avoiding many causes of friction between the United States and the Latin-American states now existing through variance in legal procedures. There are 100 states in the other 20 American republics, Mr. Pryor said, which operate under separate court procedures. He declared there are many fi procedures advantageously could be made orm. : He cited laws on notarization, depositions, executions and other forms in the general field known as judicial assistance that would facilitate the taking of testimony in the United States for use in South American courts and vice versa.

Surprise Proposal

The proposal was outlined by Col. Wigmore only recently and had not been scheduled as regular Conference business. Other matters on the agenda for the Conference this week included action on a proposed uniform vital statistics act; uniform criminal statistics act and a uniform aeronautical code. After the Conference adopts reports of committees on the proposals, the body then recommends the adoption of the proposed uniform statutes by states. Since its organization, the Conference has outlined and promoted the adoption by the several states, of more than 90 pieces of legislation. The Conference is meeting in Indianapolis this year because its annual meeting customarily precedes and is held in the same place the the American Bar Association which opens its convention here next week.
