Frankfurfer Contrasts
j. ). and Nazi Justice,
Citing Saboteur Case
Jurist Recalls Conveninq
Of Supreme Court to
Safeguard Germans Rights
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 21.-Justice Felix
Frankfurter of the Supreme Court
tonight contrasted the Hitlerian at
titude with the American system
which required special convening of
the highest court to safeguard the
rights of eight German saboteurs.
Justice Frankfurter spoke at a
dinner climaxing the days observ-
ance of the 250th anniversary of the
founding of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts,.
He recalled "Hitler's defense in
July 1884, to the Reichstag for the
murders of June 30," when the Nazi
leader had many party and storm
troop officers executed, and quoted
him as saying: "* In that hour
I was responsible for the fate of the
German nation and, therefore, I,
myself, was the German peoples
supreme tribunal"
by contrast" Justice Frankfurter
continued, I'VE have the events of
a later July-July of this year
when the highest court in the land
was summoned to determine whether
soldiers of the Fuehrer, caught in
the act of invasion, were tried
according to the law of our land"
The Supreme Court convened to
hear petitions for habeas corpus
writs for eight German saboteurs
who had been landed on American
shores and were being tried before
a military commission appointed by
the President. The court denied the
petitions, upholding the Presidents
authority to order a military trial.
Six of the eight were executed
later.
Evening star., 1942-11-22

an engineer went over the blue
prints and called in members of the
pool who really could do this work"
They got the contract, and it was
executed two months ahead of time.
And there were other contracts.
Little Men" Helpless.
AS he also related to the commit
tee, Mr.. Holland had found out that
small manufacturers couldn't get
anywhere by coming to Washington
alone. He explained:
The big fellows, for instance, for
many years have had their men in
Washington. They know these pro-
curement officers; they know all the
high officials of the Government
they are good friends And any,
thing that procurement officer
wants out of one of these big con-
Germs he will get. Naturally, when
a big program like this comes along.
they are the ones they look to for
immediate production. 1t probably
is right that they should-in the be-
ginning. But you let a fellow come
IN from your territory or my terri
tory-I am little fellow and was
here 10 times-all we get is the
brush-off. We don't know who to
go to. We can't put on any enter
tainments or parties we can't give
any cocktail parties and invite a lot
OF people. In the first place, we do
not have the money, and, in the
second place, we would not know
who to invite"
War Production Chief Donald M.
Nelson felt that Mr.. Holland had
just the background for the twin
jobs of channeling war contracts into
the smaller plants and OF financing
them where necessary.
House Committee Curious.
Mr.. Holland was asked by the
House committee nearly two months
ago why, three and a half months
after the Murray-Patman Act was
passed, the Smaller War Plants
Corp. and the Smaller War Plants
Evening star., 1942-11-22

600 in war contracts had gone to
small manufacturers in two weeks.
1t was learned, Mr.. Smith said,
that the Chemical Warfare Service
was about to place orders for a large
number of incendiary bombs of an
entirely new type, requiring new
tooling throughout.
There was no reason" Mr.. Smith
explained, why these contracts
could not be placed with firms which
had never done this sort of work
before, and we were confident. we
could provide such facilities. The
procurement people were willing to
let us share in this order and DEM
onstrate what we could do along
this line"
Small Shops Engaged.
Two orders of about equal size
were placed, one in Providence. R
l., the other in Louisville, KY. The
total order was for about $4,000 900.
In both cases WPB selected as prime
contractor a firm which did not
have facilities for fabricating the
bomb parts. These firms assumed
responsibility for final inspection of
the parts and for their assembly
Small shops suitably equipped were
found in each vicinity.
While the Federal agency has is
sued no exact figures recently, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce reports: "The division, which
began functioning officially Septem-
ber 8, already has made a start by
placing about s25 100000 worth of
business. Another 100000 900 has
been turned over to it by the Gov
ernment agencies for possible place
ment. 1t hopes now to greatly ex-
pand its activities"
The Planning Committee Of WPB
is trying to smooth the way for
Smaller War Plants Division and
the Smaller War Plants Corp. and
to speed their program.
Evening star., 1942-11-22
Division of WPB had made so little

Division of WPB had made so little
progress.
up to now" asked Chairman Pat
man. "it is a fact that not one
single contract has been let under
the law?"
"Oh, would not say that" Mr..
Holland replied. and he added: "Un-
til we get a thorough understand
ing and agreement wi the procure
ment agencies I am not pushing for
contracts"
Such an understanding since has
been reported reached with all those
agencies, and contracts have been
trickling through in a swelling
stream.
Mr. Holland explained to the COM
mittee that a satisfactory directive
from WPB authorizing a deputy
chairman for smaller war plants and
defining his duties had not come out
until September g. Previous direc-
tives had been unworkable, he said
and until an acceptable one was
framed he did not feel that con-
tracts could be obtained. He also
pointed to the difficulties he had
encountered in setting up regional
offices. because he had insisted on
obtaining only top-notch men-en-
gineers and technical men who
could make the program work. He
had insisted on naming his own
personnel.
Old System Failed.
The first administrative order
simply transferred the old Once OF
Contract Distribution and the Bu-
reau of Finance to the deputy chair
man for smaller war plants-Mr
Holland.
Those Offices had failed ever
since they had started this job.
said Mr.. Holland They did not
have the proper personnel and they
did not have proper direction. we
will say They did the best they
could, but I was not going to assume
responsibility for somebody's setur
that had failed on this thing. ]
wanted an organization that was
going to do the job and so I changed
that directive to read that those
departments are hereby abolished
and their functions are taken over
by the deputy chairman
Mr.. Holland added that it wa.
far better to proceed cautiously
"and have good foundation and
an understanding. 50 that we car
render the greatest amount of gooc
under this act"
