Painters and Lathers Get
Hiuher Scale Tomorrow

Approximately 1000 painters and
fathers of the District of Columbia,
many of them employed on de-
fense construction work, will re-
celve fatter pay envelopes under
new union contracts which will go
into effect tomorrow at midnight.
The painters, according to notice
received by John Locher, secretary
of the Washington Building and
Construction Trades Council, will
be paid $171 81 per hour instead
of s1.57 IT, an increase Of 1927
cents. Their work day will remain
at seven hours.
The contract of the 1athers was
signed late last week with the aid
OF the United States Cancellation
Service, after the fathers threatened
to leave jobs on several important
local construction projects. Under
the new provisions, they will re-
ceive S14 instead of $13 per day on

Court Rejects Plea
Warrant Is Needed
Before Jury Probe
Rights Not Violated
In EmbezzIement Cose,
Appeals Tribunal Rules

The United States Court of APP
peals held today that there Is no
constitutional right to demand a
preliminary hearing before indict-
ment or trial-and that the law
does not require issuance of war
rant before grand jury proceedings.
Jerome Clarke, who had been SEN
fenced on embezzlement charges, ap-
pealed from a District Court order
discharging a habeas corpus writ
that dismissed his petition. Clarke
contended his constitutional rights
had been violated because he was
indicted without a warrant having
been issued for his arrest before the
indictment and that a preliminary
hearing had not been granted. He
contended further that Government
witnesses were intimidated by the
prosecuting attorney at the trial
and, at the habeas corpus proceed
ing the court refused to admit evil
dence concerning his guilt or inno-
cence.
The Appeals Court said the only
cNlucIlCc W SuSJdlll tIlC llltliliudelOll
charge was an interview with GER
tain witnesses by the prosecuting
attorney, Assistant United States
Attorney Allen J. Krouse, a few
minutes before the trial. Mr.. Krouse
showed them signed statements
which they had made of their
testimony before the grand jury and
asked whether the statements made
by them were true and whether they
constituted their testimony before
the grand jury" it was added.
The witnesses replied affirmatively,
the court declared, and the prosecu-
tor said he was glad to hear that
the statements were true. because
If they intended to testify differently
at the trial their testimony would
constitute perjury, but there was no
intimidation in these acts.
United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran and Assistant United
States Attorneys Bernard Margolius,

ed Ray L. Huff, superintendent of
penal institutions of the District of
Columbia. against whom the case
was brought in the Appellate Court.

sidered the case.

1911 Espionage Act
Provided Authority
For Ship Seizures
International Low
Centuries Old Also
Cited as Support

The sudden and dramatic seizure
by the United States of 65 Italian,
German and Danish ships was car
ried out under broad powers pro-
vided in World War anti-sabotage
law and a presidential proclama-
ton to take protective custody OF
a foreign vessel in an American
port, it was pointed out here today.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Herbert E. CASTOR said the
Coast Guard, a unit of the Treas
ury, had acted within the confines
of the Espionage Act approved by
Congress on June IS, 1917.
Last June, it was recalled, PreSi-
dent Roosevelt invoked the espion-
age statute in proclamation del
egating broad control powers to the
Secretary of the Treasury. The
proclamation authorized the Treas
ury, through its customs and Coast
Guard services, to detain, or even
seize, any ship, foreign or domestic,
whenever 1t appeared necessary
either to safeguard United States
interests and property, or to pro-
tect the vessels themselves. Power
to prevent anchorage of new ar
rivals also was given.
The power to seize foreign vessels
also was granted to the Governor
of the Panama Canal under the
same restrictions placed on Secre-
tary Morgenthau.
The Act Quoted.
The section of the Espionage Act
which provides for such detention
or seizure reads:
whenever the President. by proc
lamation or executive order, declares
national emergency to exist by
reason of actual or threatened war
insurrection or invasion, or dis
turbance or threatened disturbance
of the international relations of the
United States, the Secretary of the
Treasury may make. subject to the
approval of the President, rules and
regulations governing the anchor

BY the AsSocistee Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, March 31-The
British Army of the Nile, eager for
quick completion of its conquest of
italian East Africa, is advancing
rapidly west of newly occupied
DiredaWa toward Adds Ababa and
toward Asmara, capital of Eritrea,
the Middle East command an
nounced today.
The advance of South African
forces who entered Italian aban-
doned Diredawa Saturday and sew
cred the only Facist rail line leading
from Adds Ababa to the coast at
Jibuti was declared matched by
developing general forward move
ment" in other Ethiopian sectors.
The number of prisoners is
steadily mounting, while guns and
other war materials abandoned by
the enemy in his withdrawal are
being collected in large quantities"
today general headquarters war
bulletin said.
The fall OF Diredawa puts the
British only 200 miles east of Adds
Ababa, Ethiopian capital, and in
control of the only railroad link
between that inland city and the
coast.
The British now have pushed 500
miles into the newest colony in
Italy's East African empire since the
capture of Fer Fer, on the Ethiopian
Italian Somaliland border. March g.
Earlier today the British COM
mand in Neirobi, Kenya Colony,
announced the occupation of
Carsa, 20 miles beyond Harar,

way to Diredawa. The town was
said to have been entered Fri
day.
In Eritrea, the Middle East COM
mand announced tersely that our

4I8 Vessels Were Liable.
Last July, survey of foreign ships
in American waters made liable to
detention under the Presidents
proclamation revealed Alb vessels,
most of them belonging to bellig-
erent or invaded countries.
They included 120 British, 76 Nor
wegian, SO Danish, 25 Italian, %
Dutch, II French, Belgian, 2 Ger
man and Rumanian ships.
In recent months this Govern
ment has been reported giving con-
sideration to the possible requisi-
tioning of foreign shipping tied up
in American ports. Congressional
leaders here have contended legis-
lation would be required before any
such step could be taken.
Authorities on international law
differ about the right Of neutral
nation to seize shipping in its ports,
whether owned by belligerent ma
tions or other neutralS.
The fright of angary," which
means the right of belligerent
nation to seize and use neutral
shipping within its territory, has
existed in international law for
centuries. 1t was exercised during
the World War by this country and
Great Britain.
The United States, however, is not
belligerent; it is neutral nation
But L. Oppenheim, an English au-
thority on international law, says:
The right of angary being a right
derived from the law of war, it must
not be confused with the right
which every state undoubtedly pos
sesses, of seizing in case of emer-
gency, any foreign property in its
territory. One ought not. therefore
to speak of right of angary be-
longing to neutrals as we'll as bel
ligerents, or of a right of angary
in peace as we'll as in war"
Students of international law say
