May ACT UNDER

Police Magistrate McAdoo
of New York, Believes
Officials Can Act
CRy Assoclated r-ress.l

New York, Sept. 1s.-Although
both federal and county grand juries
here have recently failed to hand
down indictments in the campaign
to crush out soap box sedition", /,
Chief Police Magistrate McAdoo de-
clared Monday the state is not
helpless in times OF war against
subtle sedition and covert treason
working to paralyze it's military
arm and sap its strength in the su-
preme test.
"AIl criticism OF the constituted
authorities, especially those who
have charge Of the war measures Of
country fighting for its life and
liberties, approaches dangerously
near to sedition and treason" de-
cIared the magistrate, who question
ed the right of persons to use the
streets to make remarks bound to
irritate and provoke Others" adding
he believed such acts would be a
breach of the peace.
lille there ds no specific section in
the state code dealing with treason,
the magistrate said he believed the
police courts could cope with the
evil through invoking the socalled
"disorderly conduct law.
District Attorney Swami said he
had placed at the disposal OF the
grand jury all the facilities of his
office to combat the sedition propa-
ganda.
