It is s mall know foot that the P A 0 received e greet deal of money fromthe G I O which was used in the recent campaign.

During the early stages of the recent campaign, Senator E. H. Moore oi�Oklahoma urn�?-6 a letter to Attorney General Biddle, asking for an opinion -as to thelow relating to this matter. It hsd been the unbroken habit of the attorneysgeneral not to give legal opinions on such 'a matter. However, after some delayAttorney General Biddle did replyto the letter of senator Moore end set forth hisOpinion that up to that time the P J, C had not violated the Federal CorruptProctic-as Act, nor the Hatch Act, nor the Smith-Connolly Act.

The address of President Frank J. Hogan oi� the American Ber Association,in Ian Frausises, ion July 10th, 1939, with which you are, of course, familiar, ismade ,0. part oi�, this letter. You can find it" in the August number, 1939, of the 'Journal of the American Bar Association. Since then, your deoisione have been in-creasingly bad, because they have been flagrant misinterpretation: both of the Stat-utes of the Congress and of the Constitution oi� tho United States, Some of them areas follows; '

1. You have hold in the notorious Carpenters� case that any group,elaiming to be a. labor union, is entitled to libel an honest firm and ruin itsbusiness. In that case, you held that the Carpenters� Union vies justified. You . Vheld also, d u.n.i0n justified in promulgating lies against the Auhouser-Bueoh Brow-ing Company oi� St. Louis, although there was no dispute between it and the Union-

2- Lately, you have held that a group of men who started a rest-aurnnt,doing all the work themselves, could be lawfully pioketed on the ground that it wasunfair to the said labor union. - .

- 3. In March, 1942, you concurred with the decision of the than AssociateJustice, James F-Q-By;-nes, in the csse oi� the United States vs. Teamsters� Union oi�New York City, that members of the said labor union violated no Federal law, althoughthey had forced with pistols s dairy farmer, driving his om truck to pay them $8.41,before he was permitted to drive his trunk into Nowfork City for the delivery oi� hisdaily load of milk.

Chief Justice Harlan F92gS§%e deijlared that you and the five other justicesnho made this notorious, outrageous decision, had made "demon law robbery an innooentpastime. � i

Your course, as'Justioe of the Supreme Court, has alarmed and angered thebest oitizens of this nation. It has also aroused the anxiety of many men servingin the armed forces, who are fearing that, while they are risking their lives andgiving their lives for the defense of human freedom all around the world, you are -using your power in this country to destroy them hare.

In the case of the United States vs. Local 807 of the Teamsters� Union of

New York City, the Supreme Court adopted, by E vote of six to one, a decision by thethan Justice James F.

This decision was rendered in larch, 1942, and has been the law of theUnited States for three years, Hon. Sam Hobbs, a sender of the Houso of Representa-tives from Alabama, introduced a bill which would have made it impossible for laborunion mmbors thus safely to rob citizens. It was adopted by the House, and dulytransmitted to the Senate, where it died in a pigen-hole; Shame on such a cowardlySenate, terrorized by brutal labor union bosses!

Tne Supreme Court has recently reversed past decisions of long standing asto the vast insurance business, so as to put it under the power of the Washingtongovernment. The attorneys general of forty one states at onse asked for a re-hearing;their petition was peremptorily denied. The power of the state governments is beingstolen by this court and given to the obese federal officials in the notional capital.The Supreme Court judges are steadily robbing the states of their functions and powers.

On April Z0, 1944, I sent out the following:

JUDGES BHD_!UST �g ;HEAC§§P

Justice Felix Frankfurter, of the Supreme Court, has recentlywritten, "The opinion that, if the words of a law are plain, themoaning of the law is plain~7is Pernioious over-simplification.�Thus the professor reveals the theory, by which the once High Courthas been guided to several important, outrageously oppressive de-cisions since 1938, when Roosevelt, with the consent of a majorityof the senators, elevated this Austrian-born autoerat to this posi-tion of great judicial power. -Since his taking over this power, thecitizens and the states have been the victims of a series or despoticdecisions, which grow rapidly more and more intolerable."

�Under the above quoted theory, the plainest meanings of thewords of laws, either of statutes or of constitutions, do not bindthe courts, and they have the power to interpret them, as their de-sires may determine; that is the power to change the constitutions,which are approved by the sovereign people, and the statutes, en-acted by the congress, and the legislatures of the several states,by substituting their own laws."

"In for reaching decisions, involving labor questions, theyhave held, in effect, that 125,000,000 of us who do not belong tolabor unions have no rights that 10,000,000 members of labor unionsare bound to respect." � -

"Thirty years ago Theodore Roosevelt wrote Felix Frankfurter thath� was c bclshevist. Boverthelese, Franklin Roosevelt chose him forthe Supreme Court, and most of the -senators voted approval. Theother justices have now joined him in the destroying of our laws."

"The House of Representatives should at once arraign these judgesbefore tho senate, and demand their immediate impeachment. The Con-stitution statos that they shall hold office for life or during theirgood behavior. Their behavior is very bad. They are trampling undertheir impious foot the sacred rights of the states and of the citizens.

p Citizens of our country should give duo signi�cance to Roosevelt's �Io: onMontgomery Ward and Company, the most alarming of e.l1_his acts in the twelve yearsor his presidency. ' '_ p . s ' '.

u . i '

This war began on ripril 26, -when soldiereat hii eo"'"s-o-%�"" seized the C -""store and ejected from it Sewell Avery, the Chairman of its Board oi� Directors. - '

A number of editors, columnists and citizens made instant and indignantprotests, endjloosevelt surrendered by returning the property to its owners in twoweeks. Tho number or!� these protests was so small as to' pro'vo"that our finrec lovofor liberty is too feeble either for pride or __es.fetys '

The 78th �Congress did not spring to� the defense oi� -"'I'h.e right oi� the peopleto be secure in their persons, hol�es, papers, end effects against unreasonablesearches and seizure". This fourth bill of constitutional nights was violated by�Roosevelt. . '

On December 28, 1944, the' rs-elected usurper renewed his War on this com-pany by having his arsw seize its most'i:sporte.nt properties in several cities. Hedid this, as before, without even seeking an order or permission from any judge,stats or federal.

-,; - I-o ~-»~.--r~

_ - '{.=_ __ - _�_ He did this on the pretext that this company was oppressing its workers and' f "�-'1» punishing them, if they joined unions. One of the aims of Roosevelt is to force this

4,�, �__ _- company to discharge any member of s. union who quits the union�. There is no lavr,,__ __ =., , _ state or federal, providing for this,

92.- -- ;__w-, p.-41;_,,-s.,&_,_,¢ Ward's workers do not desire it. Ninety per cent oi� the workers in the_ Chicago Sto.e declared their opposition to it. Representatives of union members in

four seized stores in Detroit openly state their opposition.

;_;f"": These workers are about to be victims oi� Roosevelt, Hil , Hurray, md.,..._.,h-__ .-.._

lmsn_ _ - � ' the CIO, and red union racketeers and bosses.

Roosevelt is now seeking to get some judge to approve his despotic octe-Any judge who does so will be an accessory to anarchy.

_ in I -

Every Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors of every Corporation or other- _ business concerns, fsrrrers' organizations, and every governor, the 79th Congress,

/" 92 /""�92_ . should instantly and powor�illy protest. Dewey and Bricker should riso from their

v V political graves, and bitterly object.Every pulpit should thunder e warning, remembering that "Resistance to

tyrants is obedience to God.� ' � '

Wnut will citizens do about this war on free enterprise, on private pro-... perty rights, begun by those who soornthe guaranties oi� the bill of rights, substi-

tute soldiers for Judges, and machine guns for codes? -

Have we turned into mice who run for holes when we hear the footsteps ofa despot? .

Why did he order the soldiers oi� the arnv to seize the pr0pe1"ti8S_ oi� the60,000 stockholders of this canpszqf '

Ho did this because Sewo.'l.lX,5.vory,- the Chairman of the Board oi� Directors,would not agree to put out of their "jobs workers who quit unions. Roosevelt soughtto use his power in behalf oi� the unions by forcing this company, and later, no doubt,ell erru;lo}_.'ers, to take away employment from all members of -unions who might withdrawfrom them, so that they would be unable to support their families,

Roosevelt sought to destroy such a right for all meniaers of lab-or unions,now some 15,000,000 in number,

He made this dastardly he pronounces it "dastdrd1y"} effort in order totry to repay the CIO, the PAC, and Sidney Hillman for the help, flnanoial and other-wise, given him in his race for n fourth term, without which he would hale been do-feated. For this help, he was willing to make 15,000,000 union members perpetual

Roosevelt is now hurrying to the Supreme Court, in an effort to have itreverse Judge Sullivan. If it does so, it will sanction e new and nefarious slavery,which none of the tyrants of the past ever inflicted on the weak.

The hi�h oourt new has an oppcrtmiity to begin to regain the respect ofall right thinking, freedom-loving citizens, which it has lost by its notoriousdecisions of the last six years, which have been built on the pernicious principlethat 120 000,000 citizens of the United States, who do not belong to unions, in- .

"There was no �wt of prostitu-tion on the trip and no discussionof such acts -during the course ofthe journer," the opinion said.holding that to violate the Ma-rmAct "it is essential that the in-terstate transportation have torits object or be the means ofIacilitatinl" immoral practices.� Agreeing with Murphy wereJustices Frankfurter, Jackson,Roberts and Rutledge. Chiei Jua-tiee stone and Justices Black,Reed and Douglas dissented ongrounds that the girls were re-turned to Grand Island tor im-mo_ra1 purposes. To this the mf-.io ty replied �we do not thiit fair or permissible to inft t this interstate vacation tro any part of it was undertake

Agrees to Hear Arguments on},Whether to Deport Him .

By Lewis woon 7'� leeclslte'1�lllGsI!osa'I�usI. r

dig� West Coast lea er o

a Supreme Court review out theeffort by the Federal Government;

�trails, on the grounds that he is a

high court agreed to hear argu-I�iments in the Bridges case but,�simultaneously refused the plea otlthe Communist Political Associa-

,tlon to enter the controversy. Thefpoliticlal association, successor toithe dissolved Communist Party of��America, had demanded a chanceto prove that the original parttyiorganization did not advoca e

overthrow of the Government bytorceand violence, as the Depart-

pment of Justice alleged in the� Bridges case.i As usual, no amplification wasmade of the Supreme Court order,but Associate Justice Robert H.

�Jackson, a former Attorney Gen-erdl, did not participate.

i The Government charges againstw Mr. Bridges allege that he has beena member of the Communist Partyof-America since his entry intothis country. and was also affi-

liated with the Marine IndustrialWorkers of America, a segment of

_ !1'he deportation proceeding upon92 which the Supreme Court will rule,

�was instituted in February, 1941.I Some time previously, a former

. Immigration authorities tailed -to

92 .

Lto deport him to his native Aus- :_

:Communls't. , - i-} Through a formal order, the i�

_ proceeding was cancelled when tliei

prove that Mr. Brid . an Australilien alien, in the phrizology of the� immigration law, is "a member of_jt.he Communist Party. ' 1§ Meanwhile, in the case of Jose�h;G. Strecker, of Hot Springs, Ar .,_the Supreme Court decided that anfallen could not be deported solelybecause he once held membership�in the Communist Party. Follow-�ing that ruling, Congress changedthe Immigration Law to mallsthe membership qualification read.

1�has been," at the time of entrance,*or thereeuier. Accordingly, the�new proceeding was begun agatnstMr. Bridges, under another war-

'rant, and has now been sustainedby two� lowea courts. - _-

Four years have elapsed-sincethis action was started, but seven�years in all have gone by gsince�the original papers were i�ied.Supported by the CIO and_oi.her

John L. Lewis and the United;Mine Workers won points yester-iday in two courts. ' -

Ll The United suzhxcom of' ' Mre partly upheld the-�righ foremen to join -the same�union as ank-and-�le miners. _

�l"h*upreme Court said lt� ' would hear the T5 objections

Lewis and the UMW to theirnes of more than 3% million dol-

' for contempt of court for call-ing the recent coal strike. �- Some time ago. foremen in tour

�mines run by Jones 3: Laughlin,Steel Oorp. joined the United_Clerlcal, Technical and� Super-'_vi.sory Employee, s division of,UMW's District 50. Hearings andan election were held by the Na-iuomu Labor Relations Board. Afterthe Government took over the�mines, during the strike last spring,NLRB certi�ed the UMW unit asbargaining agent for the forernen.Admiral Ben Moreell, as, Coal

;Mlnes Administrator,_m.ade s� eon-,.tract with the UMW,_eove1-log toré.§men's hours, wages and thelike,"for the period the Governmenthe d the mines. '- , '7 .

�Ky legal. Justices Hem-y W. Edger-iton and E. Barrett Prettyman Joinedgin the opinion. _ ,1 Clark said,that as long u theGovernment, ran the coal mines ithad the same right as s.ny.otherlemployer to bargain with the work-ers, and that Moreell had done� nomore than that. - *

1 The opinion did not squarely -'clde whether fofemen in gene lhave e right, under the Wag rAct, to belong to the some uni nas the rank and �le workers. ButClark noted the Jones 8: Laugh-lin claim that straw bosses couldnot properlyhelong 'to the sameunlon as other miners and ssldthat in this case he could not seewhy not. The company pointedout that_the bosses have the dutyof enforcing safety rules.. Clarkqudted an NLRB ruling which saidthe rules were for the "safety ofthe miners, rather than of themines, so that was no reason fore-men should not be fellow union-tsts of the men they were sate-8921l!�dln892 ' .

TREHBQN QUESTIONBEFORE HIGH GOURT

-i-i.-.-1

Con�rmed From Page I

senting the Federal Government.and Cramer defended by Harold R.Medina, chairman of the NewYork Cityy Bar Association andLaw Professor at Columbia Uni-

versity. Mr. Medina, appointed byJudge Knox to act for Cramer inthe trial court, without fee, hasbeen engaged in the task since thattime.

When the important matter camebefore the nine justices in March,every one asked pointed questions,and their interest in the bl-sic is-sues was so intense. that they or-dered a rear-garment. The courtdirected Mr. Fahy and Mr. Medinato submit briefs and contentionsdefining the constitutional mean-ing of "Treason," and "OvertActs," as applied to the case anddetails concerning the requirementthat two witnesses must testifyto the �same overt act."

Cramer, 44-year-old mechanicand German-born American cit-izen, was indicted for giving aidand comfort with treasonous in-tent. to_ Werner Thiel and EdwardJohn Kerling, two of the saboteurswho landed near Jacksonville andwere subsequently executed in tl'|.iacity. As to two of the �overt acts"it was stated that Cramer �did

W�.. ti� ,_--. 1;» 1" " W

4:Oi

me conversations ac-.l'=l-l!'!�O�. In other words, merelymeeting and talking with Inenemy would not be giving aid andcomfort. As to the false state-ments. the detense says there wasno proof that these furnished aidand comfort, the only allegation.

The Government, however, as-aerta that any act which was partof a scheme or plan to supply aidand comfort was a sufficient act�of treason, however innocent and�harmelss it might appear of itself.

Under the Constitution treasonconsists of levying war against the�United States "or in adhering to,their enemies, giving them aid andcomfort.� No person shall be don-victed of treason "unless on the�testimony of two witnesses to thesame overt act or on confession inopen court." The ml-Itimuxn pen-alty is death, but Cramer was sen-tenced to forty-five years and a.$10,000 fine. I

History of �Preston's Case�

�Lord Preston's case." the Gov-ernment states, is "a significantlandmark in the law of treason,"while Mr. Medina says it is thefirst fully reported case of adher-ing to the King�: enemies he can,find. The British nobleman, withMothers, hired a small boat in 1090�to take them to another boat forFrance, then at war with England.

They were caught, with papers in-forming the French how best toinvade England.

Before the English court. Lord

confer, treat and counsel with"Thiel alone, on June 23, 1942, inNew York City at the Twin OaksInn, Lexington Avenue and Forty-fourth Street, and Thompson�;Cafeteria, on Forty-second Street,between Lexington and VanderbiltAvenues; and with Thlel andKerling together at the someplaces. A third �overt act" was enaccusation that Cramer ve falsestatements to FBI agenisa for thePurpose of concealing Thiel's iden-tity and sabotage mission.

�- Other Ga-sea Examined

i This case is only one of themany exasnined. In 1606 CaptainVaughan was indicted for accept-ing a commission from the Kingof France to command the shlp-of-war Lolay Clencarty. Sixty yearslater. Dr. Hensey was tried fortreasons of �cornpassing the King's

ldeath and adhering to his enemies."�The trail oi� Sir Roger Casementin World War I is cited.

Various American precedentsare also mentioned. In 1814 a mannamed Lee was charged with trel-

yson in supplying the British withfruits and melons and giving in-formation on our troops. The jury,however, iet Lee go free.- Although this is the first actualteat of the treason laws before theSupreme Court, the tribunal hasacted without comment on appealsof other persons than Cramer.

,One was that of Max Stephan of�Detroit, who helped a German �ierto escape from a Canadian prisoncamp, and is now serving a llfasentence. I-is-a--n

Mr. THOMAS. Wliat led you to make that request? There musthave been some reason fol? "It? -- _Mr. Mnnccmomo. It is natural, Congressman, in havinlg read any

char s against the International Labor Defense Counci that maylltl92'B%�0¬'li made, it was only natural, may I say to my colleague.

Mr. Tnontas. I am not referring to today, but as of the time youmade the statement.

Mr. MARGANUONIO. Correct.The CHAIRMAN. Something must have led you to make such a state-

merit.Mr. MARANTONIO. The reason I made the statement was simply be-

cause we defend the ri ht of a. Communist to be a Communist; wetlef�-lid persons time and time again, charged with being Communists,hut I never lost an opportunity to assert and to reassert that thenl"'!lI1I'Z3.ti0I'l was non-Communist.

lilr. THOMAS. Had you made any investigzition as to whether it was �oininuiiist or not�?

Mr. Mi92RcAi~:'roi92'io. My investigation is right there; I am the pres-ident; I run the or nization.The Cim1inuAN. gm run the �i92�h0lE organization?Ur. Mi92.i~:c.~.i~i"roNio. In accordaiice with the rules and bylaws and

in accordaiice with the constitution of the order. In other words,1 run the organization in the same sense that Mr. Green runs the-92. F. of L. and the President runs the United States, in accordancewitii the constitution and bylaws and regulations of the organization.

Mr. Tnosms. Who for-niuhites the policies of the organization; the

go92'ei'ning body?Mr. MARCANTONIO. Let ine say this about the policies: There are

92-ci-_92- few policies formulated, because, if we are convinced of 0. per-.-on being framed, it is simply a question of getting in touch with a.grnitl lawyer to defend him.

Mr. THOMAS. You just assume he has been trained up and goniiemi and employ a. lawyer?

Mi-. iilisuosiwroisio. I said if we were convinced.Mr. THOMAS. If you were coiivinced?Mr. .92litRcAN'r0.92'10. If we were convinced; yes.Mr. Tnouas. Did you defend this fellow Strecl-tor?Mr. MARCANToi~:1o. Strecker-�tlie International Labor Defense de-

fviiricd Strccker.P-lr. THOMAS. Strecker was ii Communist?

Sir. 192_l.§uc.-92N'r0N10. Certainly; and the agreed withthe position taken by the Iuternatioiial L110!� e ense; and if it is"�f1'"11,�.!- the Supreme �Fig; is wrong; if we were un-American, the.-�H%=1"v1iii é�gLi:r is un- merican.

Mr. Maiicaisrroxio. 92Ve had this in mind, we had this concrete situ-ation, in other words, of getting, into airplane factories, and Nazisligligl�g around various places involving the national defense; 11]other words, where their activities were of an espionage character.

The CHAII-t192I.-92N. Would that be true of Communists? _Mr. Maiicamiomo. If the Communists were involved iii espionage.The CHAIRMAN. 92Vhy did you not say-��Mr. 192I.iiioaN'mNio. If a Communist were involved in espionage, we

would not defend him. We are not defending spies. _The CHAIRMAN. Then why did not you say in the resolution

�Coiniiiuiiists� along with �Nazis�? _Mi-. Msneslvroxio. I have been tryiiiié to explain that. That ques-

tion came 112 before the national boar arid came up in connectionwith a spet-i..c proposition of a Nazi activity, and we said that Naziacti92'it_92� inv_ol_ved espionage and woultl not come within the purviewof our activities. _The I. L. D. will not undertake the defenseof an!� Nazi, Fascist, or any other, under those circumstances. Inother 9292�U1' iS, it will not defend them or any other persons or organ-izations whose aims and activities are anti abor and antidemoeratic.

The CHAIHBIAN. It looks to me like that means what it says..92h-. Maiicaiwmieio. Exactly.The CHAIRMAN. Anybody whose aims are antidemocratio or anti-

Mr. Srannas. Now, who is the supreme court of the I. L. D.'i _Mr. l92I.iiioiiN'1ioNio. We have no supreme court. We have a presi-

dent. -

Mr. Smanns. �Tell who is the man or group of men, or womenI u 1 , � v I �in the organization that lays down the yardstick and decides whetherit is undemocratic or aiitilabor?

Mr. l92IAiicaNronIo. If it is the usual run of case. it is usually de-cided by myself; if there is a real policy question iiirolred, it coniesup before the governing board. 92Ve have had no such case since Ihave been president. . -. . -

Mr. Sritnnes. Is it not a fact in the I._ L. D.�-well, I cannot askthat question, because you have coii�ned it to your knowledge since1937, but I wanted to ask if it was not a. fact that the I. L. D. hadvolunteered its services and stepped into cases and sou 1-ht to iiiter-fere with the processes of the courts of this country, and if they l_ia_dnot attempts to in�uence, to browbeat, and intimidate the civilauthorities of this country?

Mr. M.92ncAN'roNio. My answer is �No.�LII.� Q.-1..�-.-ii-. 92T.�-.....�JkJl.;92lfn92l'4a. J.�U92-'cl'Y

Mr. i92IAncaN'iioN1o. Never; as far as I know; and, fiii'tlieriiioi-e, asb f ' ' ~ - �I said e oi e, we came into the De Jonge case, and the SIIBIEIIE ourt

C592'SE�-*�

Mr. Srannas. Is not the fact of the business this: That the reasonthe denouncin of communism has never been embodied in the resolu-tions adopted iy the I. L. D., the fact that a resolution to that effecthas the same chance as the �proverbial snowball in the lower regionsof ever being considered anti passed by the I. L. D.?

Mr. Itlaacimrouio. As I say to you gentlemen, give us a case ofone person deprived of democratic rights by the Communists, and I;will give you my guaranty, if he comes to us, he will be defended.

Mr. Sranxns. And, Mr. Marcantonio, since you have been a mem-ber, you have undertaken to defend the religions and political liber-ties of persons in the Soviet Union?

Mi". l92LiiicA>:'roNio. In the Soviet Union, in Alabama, or anywhereelse. We have only had one case, and that was an Americancitizen�-

Mr. SIPARNESI I want to say I subscribe wholeheartedly to the doc-trine of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and that includesCommunists, Fascists, Nazis, or whoever he is, if he is an Americancitizen; but I have an absolute aversion to some person who comesto this country as an agent of a foreign government. and becomes anaturalized citizen in order to wrap himself in the Constitutionand the Bill of Rights, to seek the destruction of this Government.And that is the reason I, and many other Americans, look with sus-picion on these various organizations.

The district

Since this committee is a com-mittee on tm~Anteric-an activities, wliitsli, atsoording to the booklet,or your documents, I understand is seeking to protect American tradi-tions and the Amer-it-an Constitution, I ask this con1mittee�and

Mr. KUIlN. I can answer your question.Mr. Sralmss. All right.Mr. Kvnn. Do you have to be a Catholic to go into the Knights

of �-olumhusiMr. STARK!-IS. I do not know. I am neither :1 Knights of .�ohm1bu5

nor a Catholic.

Mr. K1�11N. All right, that answers the question.Mr. Smnmzs. Now, then, I want to know if this witness, who says

that he is the head of a political organization in this country, cansay Whether it. is true that his organization excludes from membershipNegroes and J ews?

Mr. Knnu. We never exclude them-�-Mr. Smnnns. Do you exclude them?Mr. Kenn. We do not take them in.Mr. ST.-92RNES. You refuse to take them in?Mr. KUHN. Right.Mr. Sranxes. Therefore, if the political philosophy of the blind

became the dominant philosophy of the United States of America,Jews and Negroes would not have any ri,'3ht of rep:-1-=.ent:1tion inthisconnt.rjv�l

Mr. _KEEGAN. I object to that question. I believe in a decision ofthe of the United States with respect to a coloredcitizen o tac t out tern States who tried to become a inemher of theDemocratic Part_i'. where he W�s excluded, and appealed his case,Elie §_ta;;FQg_QQ_upt upheld the exclusion. The Democrats have already

one ta ..hair. S'r.in:n~:s. May I say that one of the members of that race is a

Democratic Member of the House.

Mr, K1»:Et;AN, I was just referring to the fact that thut principlehas already been upheld by the 1 - rtMr. Smnnns. I am mel'el_V trying io esiaghsh what the purpose of

this organization is; I am trying to ascertain the true purpose ofthis organization, and I am trying to ascertain. through the leaderof the organization, Whether he says they have a right to becomea political element in this country, organize a political party toexclude others.

The Cnanuuau. All right; let us proceed.Mr, Smnxns. That is all for the time being.The Cnamman. Mr. Voorhis, you had some questions.Mr. Voounls. This paper which counsel objected to contains notices

to which I would like to call attention: It has two n |tiCE.=- sicrnedby Fritz Kuhn in it, and it was photostated by the I.ibrnr_r of Con~gress. and that is the paper in which reference is made to taking overthe leadership of the Germans in America appears.

Now I would like to usk you this question, Ur. Kuhn. Suppose thebund succeeded in organizing an effective political party, such as youhad in mind here, what would be your answer to this question; wouldyou, in connection with its work, use the same tactics that were usedin other nations�-

Mr. Knnx interp�singl. Mr. Chuirinan, I think-�--�Mr. Voomns ft-ontinliing!. By other iernum organizations?Mr. Ktmn. That question is very unfair.Mr. Vooimls. Well. you can answer it �Yes� or �No.�

Director, "�*- T�-�YFederal Bureau of Investigation; 51*" "'"*"-Y �� --�Washington, D. G. I ...................... _.

Deer Sir:

I would like to call your attention to thedecision of the Supreme Court of the United �zgjse,re on Iey 16, 1956, in the case entitl ,�Zerbst___vi�idvgll et e1" �8 Sup. Ct. Rep. B72!, feeling L Jthat the"'d'é�é1sion should considered �r inclusion ,inbriefed form, in the section of t.he_�___l of Instr- '}�uctions devoted to Criminal Procedure. '��'**�"�

Apparently the é;eision is to the effectthat e prisoner who while on"pEr5I§�Hhring the periodof a sentehce for one Federal crime commits e second 1

Federal crime for which he is convicted and sentenced

and serves e sentence therefor may be retained in cus-tody on perole board warrants and compelled to servethe remaining time of the sentence imposed for thefirst Federal crime. It would seem that the oiginelsentence does not run concurrently with the periodserved for the second sentence end, therefore, thatthe prisoner must complete the term of his first sent-ence efter the second sentence hes bee served.

I trust you will find the case-report inter-esting�§��of value t5'the Bureau. ,

Appeal from the Supreme

92l vs} Court of Colorado.

Y

H. E.%V0olsey, Appellant, '

Roy Best, 11 arden, etc.

I .,

PER Cuauu.

Appellant brouglit this proceeding in the Supreme Court ofColorado to obtain a writ of habeos corpus. His petition was

denied without opinion. It appears that appellant was held pur-suant to conviction for violation of Section 26'?6 C. L. 1921, being

section 40, chapter 44, Session Laws 1913', of the laws of Colorado see also section 2740 C. L. 1921, being section 85, chapter 44 of

Session Laws of 1913!, the judgment of conviction having beenaf�i-med by the Supreme Court of the S te. Woolsey v. ThePeople, 98 C010. 62. /WIt is welbéstablished that theéit o_f�hab_cas corpus cannot beused as _� rit of error. This is he -rule in Colorado as well as inthis Court. The judgment of conviction was not subject tocollateral attack. People ea: rel. Burchinell v. District Court, 22

Colo. 422; Martin V. District Court, 37 Colo; 110, 115; Chemgasv. Tymm, 51 Colo. 35; In re Arokowo, 78 Colo. 193, 196; In re

Nottingham, 84 Colo. 123, 128. Compare Harlan v. McGou-rin,218 U. S. 4-1:2; Riddle V. Dyche, 262 U. S. 333; Craig V. Her-ht,263 U. S. 250, 277; Km-wet v. Egon, 268 U. S. 442, 445, 446; Goa:V. Colorado, 282 U. S. 807. It is apparent from the record sub-mitted that the state court had jurisdiction to try the appellantfor violation of the statute in question and that any federal ques-tion properly raised as to the validity of the statute could havebeen heard and determined on appeal to this Court from the �nal

judgment i_n that action. The Supreme Court of the State was notrequired by the Federal Constitution to entertain such questionson the subsequent petition for hobeos corpus, and it does not ap-pear that its denial of the petition did not rest upon an adequate

non-federal ground. Lynch v. New Y ork, 293 U. S. 52, and casesthere cited. The appeal is dismissed for the want of jurisdiction.

Pick Manufacturing Cornpany, � _Petitioner, On 'Writ of Certiorari to

vs. the United States Cir-

Gcneral Motors Corporation, Chevrolet cuit Court of Appeals

Motor Company, and Buick Motor for the Seventh Circuit.

Company.

[October 26, 1936.]

Pea CURJAM.

By this suit petitioner challenged the validity under Section 3of the Clayton Act �8 Stat. T30, 731, 15 U. S. C. 1-1! of a provi-

sion of the contracts made with dealers by selling organizations

of the General Motors Corporation. The provision in the contract

between the Chevrolet. Motor Company and dealers is as follows:

�Dealer agrees that he will not sell. otter for sale, or use in therepair of Chevrolet motor vehicles and chassis second-hand or usedparts or any part or parts not manufactured by or authorized bythe Chevrolet Motor Company. It is agreed that Dealer is notgranted any exclusive selling rights in genuine new Chevrolet partsor accessories.� .- .

There is a similar provision in contracts made by the Buick

company.The District Court clisniissecl the hill of complaint for want of

equity and its decree was a�irinccl by the Circuit Court Of Appeals.S0 F. Qd! 6-11. Upon the evidence adduced at the trial the Dis-trict Court found that the effect of the clause had not been in any

Way substantially to lessen competition or to create a monopoly in

any line of commerce. This �nding was sustained by the Circuit

Court of Appeals. Id., p. 644.Undei the established rule, this Court accepts the �ndings in

which two courts concur unless clear error is shown. Stuart V.
