Justice LET'S Refuses
To Disqua|ify Self
In viereck Trial
Motion to Delay Cose
Or Change Venue Taken
Under Advisement

District Court Justice F. Dickinson
Let's today refused a request by
defense counsel that he disqualify
himself from presiding at the trial
Of George Sylvester Viereck.
At the same time, he took under
advisement defense motions to de-
lay the trial of the reputed Nazi
agent or have it moved elsewhere
because of alleged inflamed public
sentiment against the defendant
here.
Attorney Emil Morosini, jr., OF
New York, appearing for Mr.. Vtereck
who is charged with failing to make
q complete disclosure of his activi-
ties to the State Department, earlier
had told the court that while the
case was pending before Justice T.
Alan Goldsborough, the defense re-
tanned Attorney o. r. MCGUIRE as
associate counsel. Mr.. McGuire's
son is married to Justice Let's
niece, whom the jurist reared, he
said.
Mr.. Morosini added that column
ist Walter Winchell charged re-
Gently that the defendant was try
ing to use some of his influential
friends here to deprive the Govern
ment of fair trial.
Wont Be Tried for Papers"
Justice Let's said I'VE should not
be concerned with any inferences
in this case except those to be
drawn by the jury. The case will not
be tried for the newspapers"
Regarding the request for q
change Of venue. Justice Let's said
1T will be necessary for me to
determine what effect the news
paper publicity has had on the COM
munity."
Mr.. Morosini produced for the
record stack of Washington news
papers which, he contended. have
distorted the defendant, his per-
sonality and the crime for which
he is indicted"
Pointing out that Mr. Viereck was
indicted before war was declared
with Germany, Mr.. Morosini de-
clared the trial should be delayed
because Of "hysteria" caused by the
press. The defense counsel sug-
gested the trial, If not delayed,
should he held in Baltimore, or be-
fore either Of two Federal courts in
Virginia.
Pleas Held "Frivolous."
On the other hand, the prosecu-
ton pointed out that the defense
will have adequate opportunity to
examine prospective jurors as to
whether or not they were prejudiced
by the newspapers.
The Government attorney insisted
the attempts to delay or transfer the
trial were frivolous" and that no
evidence had been produced to show
the defendant could not get fair
trial here
The Government agreed to return
to Mr.. Viereck a property allegedly
seized by F. B. I. agents from his
New York apartment. Accordingly
a defense motion to suppress this
evidence was Withdrawn.
