Embassy Picket Ban
Upheld in Appeals
Court Decision
No UnIowfuI Delegation
Of Authority Is Seen
In Resolution

The District government police
regulations banning demonstrations
around embassies and consulates
here without a permit today were
upheld by the United States Court
Of Appeals.
The appellate court said that the
statute under which four de-
PENDANTS were convicted in Police
Court for parading in front of the
German Embassy is not an unlawful
delegation of power. Further, the
tribunal held that there was no vio-
lation of the constitutional pro-
visions involving freedom of the
press, freedom of assembly, freedom
OF speech and the due process clause
of the Constitution.
Representing the Government in
the case was United States Attorney
David A. Pine and Assistant United
States Attorney David A. Hart.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner after
the case had been heard before him
and Associate Justices Justin Miller
and Fred M. Vinson. Because of
the constitutional question involved,
the Court of Appeals granted an ap-
peal from Police Court and in it's
opinion said:
I'VE think, therefore, this case
does not-as is claimed-involve an
unlawful delegation of power. Con-
gress. as we have seen. has here not
only the power to define and punish
offenses against the law of nations.
but also all the police power of a
State in relation to the District of
Columbia. To hold that it is power
less in the circumstances of this
case. would be little less than fan
tastic. Possessing the power. Con-
gress could determine for itself how
and to whom it would distribute the
authority to make detailed regula-
tions. The possession of the power
includes the authority to determine
the circumstances of its use

while an electro o-cardiograph re-
corded probably for the first time
the action of the human heart
pierced by bullets.
Deering, who had sought in every
way to speed his death and who

long his heart would beat after

Electric wires were attached to

By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 31.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt entered the Califor-
MIA political scene today with a
written Endorsement of Sheridan
Downey, Democratic candidate for
United States Senator. who was
termed "a real liberal in mind and
heart"
Mr.. Downey's headquarters re-
leased a letter the President sent
to Representative Jerry Voorhis, in
which he said
you know how deeply I feel
about the necessity of having rep
resentatives in Congress who will
face present-day problems with
present-day philosophy 1t
would be calamity for California
to be represented in the Senate by
a dyed -the-wool reactionary.
Il am convinced that Sheridan is
a real liberal in mind and in heart,
and would ably and constructively
represent the predominant liberal
thought of your State"
Mr.. Downey, with support from
the $50 = every Thursday pension
movement, won in the Democratic
primary against Senator William G..
McAdoo, who had been publicly
urged by the President to seek re-
election.

talon of British troops today was
sent into Jaffa. largest purely Arab
town in Palestine. in Britains con-
tinuing intensive drive to quell Arab
insurreciton against her rule in the
Holy Land.
With the ancient port under a
pail of smoke from a lumber yard
blaze believed to have been caused
by incendiaries. officials had imposed
24-hour curfew before the troops
arrival.
Soldiers Immediately cordoned off
the city and began systematic
searches as the curfew came into
force and all traffic in and out OF
the riot-ridden city ceased.
Jaffa, with population OF about
50 900, has been in turmoil for more
than two months and at least 500
Arab insurgents are believed to have
made it their headquarters.
Banks, port officials, the railroad
station and the freight depot have
been robbed. Shops on the border
between Jaffa and the Jewish city OF
Tel Aviv have been set afire.
Expect Order to Result.
British officials expected this drive
would restore order, as in the case of
the old city of Jerusalem. GAIA

RadiO-created monsters turned on
their sponsors today after they were
unleashed in horrible fantasy of
war on the United States last night,
bringing near panic to that part of
the Nation which was not listening
to the peace-loving Charlie McCar-
thy.
An investigation by the Federal
Communications Commission and
action by the Senate to pull the
teeth from hysteria -evoking pro-
grams appeared imminent following
a too-real dramatization by the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System of an
H. G. Wells thriller.
The broadcast, an adaptation of
the imaginative War of the
Worlds" threw the public into an
uproar when listeners believed
f1ocks of nasty little men from Mars
had smashed down into the State of
New Jersey and were wiping out
civilization before they caught colds
and died.

those who heard the program or

In the Capital-as throughout the

agencies were swamped with tele-
phone calls from persons alarmed
by the program and wanting to
know: 'Is it true?" The Star alone
received more than 400 queries.
