SUIT ATTACKS
WORLD COURT
Action Would Restrain
Secretary Kellogg.

Bg United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. S-.The
United States Supreme Court to-
day was asked to restrain Secretary
of State Kellogg from carrying out
steps to complete American ad-
herence to the world court.
Benjamin Catchings, Washington
lawyer, filed a petition asking that
Kellogg be restrained because the
court protocol, if adhered to, will
create a tribunal higher than the
Supreme Court itself and will dele
gate sovereign powers from this gov
ernment to the court in violation OF
the constitution.
The petition will be submitted to
the court at its next open session
Monday, March /, Catchings said.
