ATHENS, January 19-The reporter
Of the Supreme State Council recon-
mended today to the council that Sam
uel insult, ST., former Chicago utilities
operator, be expelled from Greece. The
decision is expected next Tuesday.
The reporter, Theodore Angelopoulos,
presented his recommendation in two
hour session Of the State Council, which
had to decide whether it is competent
to handle insults appeal against the
government order that insult shall be
deported before January 81.
In the court corridors it was rumored
that President Ractivan of the council
and the seven other judges were evenly
divided as to what course they should
take.
The council, Greece's highest court
of appeal heard two OF its members,
Angelopoulos and M Sachtourls. legal
adviser, move to end insults hope OF
further avoiding extradition to the
United States by remaining IN Greece
insult was not in the courtroom When
the case was taken up, shortly before
1880 O'Clock, remaining in bed at tne
advice of his physician, DR.. VoylaSs.
Reads Own Report.
Angelopoulos read his own report on
the case a short while after the coun-
Gil had heard Defense Counsel Denis
Lazarimos make his plea for the for
mer chieaso utilities cs1Iewed ear it was
n0jntPd out that insult, wanted IN the
United States to face charges growing
out of the collapse OF his MS usl1Hes ntens,onn EN-
pire, had been granted one extensloh-
from December 81.
"The council must decide" Lazarimos
said whether the deportation order is
strictly a government or an admins
trative act. If the former, this case
cannot be subject to jurisdiction.
IF it is decided that the council has
jurisdiction, it will decide whether the
order directing insult to leave Greece
complies with the Greek constitutional
law"
Angelopoulos, however, after reading
his report on the case, concluded by
asserting that the defense counselS
contentious were unfounded.
Following him LaZarimoS returned to
begin a detailed statement OF the case
for the defense.
Insult Deeply Depressed.
Before beginning his address, Lazarl-
mos told the Associated Press that In
sull who was bundled off to bed again
only two days ago. is badly upset and
deeply distressed.
Lazarimos pointed out to the court
various legal arguments, calling atten-
ton specially to the Greek constitution,
which allows full liberty and protec-
ton. He also cited the French and
British alien laws as examples.
He mentioned the two Greek court
yerdicts in insults favor and said the
government must therefore give its rea-
sons why police permits would not DE
renewed
All aliens established in Greece, he
said always have the right to remain
unless they break the Greek law. The
defense attorney concluded by stating
he believed the home minister had over
stepped his authority in denying an ex-
tesion of permission for insult to re-
main in Greece
Pressure Brought to Bear.
P. Rhallis continued the insult plea,
declaring the ministry's action was ar
btrary. He insisted the council was
not given the dossier of the case for
study and made the claim that this file
would prove the United States Govern
ment had brought pressure on Greece.
Rhallis declared that expulsion Of
insult would mean surrendering him to
the United States, saying there was no
other country to which he could go. He
cited 30-year- old case in which Greece
had given up German named Hamer-
stein and said this had created an in
ternational criticism of Greece.
Another insult attorney, M. Ladas,
followed to read a portion of the last
court verdict, which denied the United
States the eXtradition of the Chicagoan,
and characterized that decision as hav-
ing reached the heights of Greek
justice.
