and six more to what has been de-

The work of tackling these groups

committees members and counsel
have pledged themselves. 1t is ex-

the trial should not be postponed until

sci this matter will be argued before
Justice Grecnbaum this morning, at
which time Mr.. Untermyer also will APP

In event of Justice Greenbaum reserv-
