Roll Of Infamy Asked
By Byrnes for Aid
To Axis Propaganda
U. S. Need Not Worry
About Reds in Midst
FIT Wins, He Says
BY the Assoerated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 5.-Associate
Justice James F. Byrnes of the
Supreme Court contended last night
that the names Of Americans who
provide material for Axis propa-
gandists should be placed on "a roll
Of infamy"
He urged lawyers to debunk enemy
propaganda and make sure that our
soldiers fighting abroad ARE not be-
trayed at home by the thoughtless
or the vicious"
whenever an American utters or
prints a statement that is used sue
cessfully by the Axis propagandists
to promote the cause of our enemies,
he is responsible for prolonging the
war and shedding the blood of
American boys" he said in an ad-
dress to the Illinois Bar Association.
"Just as we inscribe the names of
our heroes on a roll Of honor, we
should inscribe rs name On a roll
Of infamy.
It wish that our military intelli-
gence service would recite over the
radio the statements of American
individuals and newspapers that are
being used daily by German and
japanese propagandists to give aid
and comfort to the enemy.
"Only a few days ago the press
carried story of the Nazi submarine
commander who, in refusing aid to
men and women in Ifeboats =,
told them they had only President
Roosevelt to blame. 1t aroused our
indignation and yet he was but
repeating what has been printed in
some newspapers that have not re-
ceived from the American people the
condemnation they deserve"
AS an example of Axis propaganda,
Justice Byrnes said the Nazis main
tanned that the Communists had
sinister designs" on the United
States, but he added that IF we are
victorious against the Axis powers,
we need not worry about the Com
munists in our midst
The justice also told the lawyers
that they should see that there is
no persecution of loyal citizens Of
German and Italian descent.

Roosevelt Approves
Two District Bills

President Roosevelt has signed
two District bills.
One increases the authority OF
Secretary Ickes to grant rights Of
way for pipe lines for petroleum
and petroleum products and for
telephone and telegraph lines along
and across certain parkway lands
IN the District. No special locations
have been made public. The pur-
pose of this legislation is to facili-
tate the distribution of gasoline and
fuel oil. Mr.. Ickes has already
granted temporary permits. The
new legislation gives him authority
to cancel such permits at any time
he considers it in the best interests
Of the public.
The other bill is a minor amend
ment to the existing unemployment
compensation law. 1t postpones for
one year the date for putting into
effect the efficiency rating plan as
outlined in the organic act. This
requires that the fund be kept sta
bic and that If the contribution
from one group is lowered the con-
tribution from another must be
raised proportionately. Under this
the present 27 per cent contribu-
tion by employers might be lowered
to one-tenth of l per cent of the
payroll In consequence, the con-
tribution of another employer might
be increased correspondingly up to
) per cent.

Supreme Court Rules
Resident Japanese
Can Maintain Suits
Justice Department Says
Decision Will Affect
$50, 900 Aliens

In q unanimous decision which
the Justice Department estimated
would affect 1850 900 resident aliens
the Supreme Court has held that
. Japanese residing in the United
States is entitled to maintain a
suit in the country's courts.
Reading the opinion of the court
Justice Black asserted that "the
doors Of our courts have not been
shut to peaceable, law-abiding
aliens to enforce rights growing out
Of legal occupations"
Specifically involved was the right
Of Kumezo Kawato, Los Angeles, to
prosecute suit for maintenance
care and wages as the result of an
alleged injury suffered while en-
ployed on fishing boat in Decem-
ber, 1910.
Court Refused Hearing.
A Federal District Court, last
January, refused to hear the lease
on the ground that it had been
brought by an enemy alien, and
the Ninth Federal Circuit Court Of
Appeals denied Kawato permission
to apply for writ of mandamus to
compel the lower court to hear the
controversy.
The Japanese then appealed to
the Supreme Court, and the Justice
Department intervened in the case.
asserting that mo national policy
requires that American citizens be
relieved of their just obligations or
the consequences of their miscon-
duct IN dealing with resident enemy
aliens"
There have been several occasions
since the outbreak of the war in
which courts have held that enemy
aliens did not have recourse to the
courts OF the United States. Justice
Black said they enjoy this right
until administrative or legislative
action Is taken to exclude them."
Wage and Hour Ruling.
In another case yesterday the
court held that the Wage and Hour
Act applies to workmen engaged in
the drilling preliminary to the actual
sinking of an oil well. Justice
Roberts dissented on the ground that
this operation does not involve inter-
state commerce.
The court refused to review
decision of the United States Court
OF Appeals for the District dismiss
ing $250,000 libel suit instituted
by Representative Sweeney, Demo-
crat, Of Ohio against the Washington
Times-Herald and Drew Pearson and

essary to preserve their health or
