Burleson Upheld
 For Denying Mail Rights To Papers
Supreme Court Sustains Withdrawing Privilege
 Under Espionage Law

WASHINGTON. March Author. ity of formel Postmaster General Burleson to withdraw second class mail privileges from any publication which violated the espionage act through printing articles tending to create insubordination or disloyalty" in the military or naval corces. was upheld today by the supreme court. Associate Justices Brandeis and Holmes dissented.
 The court sustained the supreme court of the District of Columbia in refusing to issue a mandamus order compelling restoration of the priyi- leges to the Milwaukee Leader, Of which Victor Berger was editor The Leader in its appeal was joined by the New York Call.
 Whatever injuries the relator suf- fered was the result of its own choice" declared Associate Justice Clark. who, in reading the majority opinion, recited excerpts from the newspapers as submitted by the gov ernment.
 These articles were not designed to secure a modification Or repeal of the laws they criticised, but were intend ed to stir up opposition to them and internal strife.".
 Authority to grant the classified privileges, the justice held, carried with it authority to withdraw them. He declared it an impossibility for the postal authorities attempting to scan each issue of a newspaper sub- mitted to the mails to determine whether it violated the law, as sup porting the postmaster in making his order covering ''the indefinite fu- ture''
 The criticism that the due pro- cess" clause of the constitution was violated, was declared unsupported in view of the hearings held by Burleson.
 Associate Justice Brandeis took is sue with the majority upon virtually every point. Justice Holmes ''concur- red in substance" in Brandeis' opin- ion.
 It was inconceivable, Justice Bran deis said, that congress unrcaued to confer on the postmaster general au- thority which amounts practically to censorship over the press, and he re- called an attempt to give such author ity had been defeated in congress. 
 ''The postmaster general comedies in his brief" he continued, mat con gress did not confer the vague and absolute authority practically to deny circulation to any publication which in his opinion is likely to violate any postal law. l cannot believe that in establishing a postal classification in 1879 congress- intended to confer on the postmaster general authority to issue the order complained of.
 'If under the examination admins trative officers may as mere inci- dent of the peace time administration of their department be vested with the power to issue such orders as this, there Is little of substance in our bill of rights and in every extending governmental function turks a new danger to civil liberties"

 Friends Became Suspicious
 Bailey and Martin were friends of Roper's and became suspicious when they heard of his continued absence. Saturday afternoon they drove out to the Sulphur Spring valley and found the ranch where he had been living. They found nobody at the house or on the premises.
 Sunday afternoon Bailey and Martin determined to make more careful search. They again drove to the ranch and made a search of the
