War Power of
Roosevelt at
Stake in Trial
Spies Appeal to
High Court

Washington, July 29-INS- With
the wartime powers of President
Roosevelt at stake, Army defense
attorneys today sought to save eight
German spies from conviction on
espionage charges before a military
commission by an 18th hour appeal
10 the Supreme Court to transfer
their cases to civil tribunal.
The highest court, summoned IN
to extraordinary session by Chi3s
Justice Harlan Fiske Stone, meets
at noon to decide whether 1t will
permit defense attorneys TO file
writs of habeas corpus in behalf OF
the saboteurs. II IL assumes iurisdic-
ton. the Supreme Court then will
conduct a hearing on the writs and
ultimately reach a momentous de
cfsion affecting not only the fate Of
the saboteurs but the wartime
power OF the President.
The Military Commission was
named by the President to try the
saboteurs after they were landed
on American shores by German sub
marines in mid-June with enough
explosives to dynamite more than
300 plants. Mr. Roosevelt also is
sued an executive proclamation de-
nying all spies, American and alien
alike. the right OF appeal to civil
courts from any military prosecu-
ton. Both orders are being chal.
lenged in the Supreme Court pro-
ceedings.
The President, in effect. actually
outlawed the very legal step now
being taken by the saboteurs' coun-
sci However. the Presidents eXecu-
tive orders are not binding on the
Supreme Court, hence the tribunal
is free TO reach any decision a ma
jority may vote in the case.

The Hamburg raid was a first
