Laws Ruling Clears
Way for Second Tria.
OF George Viereck
Demurrer to Indictment
Is OverruIed and Case
Set for June 7

The last obstacle to the second
trial of George Sylvester Viereck for
alleged violations of the Foreign
Agents Registration Act was re-
moved today as the result of Justice
Bolitha J. Laws ruling yesterday
rejecting a demurrer to the indict-
ment under which Mr.. Viereck is
accused. The trial is scheduled to
begin June 7.
Justice Laws upheld the right of
the Secretary of State, under the
act to require an agent to disclose
all of the foreign principals he rep
resents sin an original registration -
Likewise he upheld the authority Of
the Secretary of State Ito require
an agent of foreign principal. by
supplementary registration, to give
a comprehensive statement of buSi-
ness of registrant' as agent for such
foreign principal"
Regarding the acts provision re-
quiring comprehensive statement
of nature of business" Justice Laws
said:
If defendant had a different un-
derstanding of the requirement and
any answer made him was made
in good faith, he would not be guilty
of willful act as denounced by the
law. This may be a proper defense
at the trial but it is not properly
raised by demurrer to the indict-
ment.' Justice Laws said in the
ruling.
In oral argument on the demurrer
to the indictment last Monday. the
defense attorneys. Leo A. Rover and
John j. Wilson. held Mr.. Viereck

could not be charged with failing

Senator Bailey Maps
Amendment 10 Block
Future Third Terms
Resolution Expected to
Be Drown So as Not
To Affect Roosevelt
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Bailey, Democrat. OF
North Carolina said last night he
may sponsor a resolution for con-
stituticnal amendment limiting any
future President to two terms.
Senator Bailey would not COM
ment on the details. but from other
sources it was learned that the pro-
posal would be SO drafted that 1t
would not bar President Roosevelt
from a fourth term.
If the resolution is introduced. 1t
is expected to be assigned to the
Senate Judiciary Committee. and
some legislators predicted it would
be supported by three Democratic
members of that committee and
seven Republicans, committee ma
jority.
The present draft is reported to
provide that no President who has
served all of one elected term and
any portion of second elected term
shall be eligible to run again.
Slow Action Seen.
1t would provide. however, that
the term of any President in Office
at the time of the final adoption OF
such constitutional amendment
would not be ended by such action
Amendment of the Constitution
requires approval by a two-thlrds
vote in each house Of Congress and
ratification by three-fourths OF the
State Legislatures. Even with the
earliest possible favorable action
advocates said. the resolution prob
ably could not become part OF the
Constitution until after the next
presidential term begins.
While a resolution of this nature
would be expected to receive extern
sive Republican support and the
backing of some Democrats, some OF
its advocates conceded there is little
liklihood it will get two-thlrds ap-
proval in Congress.
Guffey Doubts Adoption.
Their main interest, one Of them
said, is in attempting to obtain
majority vote in the Senate or
House, preferably both. for the Ell
feet that it might have.
Several Republican Legislatures
have gone on record as opposed to a
| fourth term for Mr.. Roosevelt, but
Republicans in Congress have re-
Trained from offering resolution
of that nature.
Senator Guffey, Democrat, OF
Pennsylvania. who has advocated a
fourth term for Mr. Roosevelt, said
he felt certain no resolution such as
Senator Bailey is considering would
be adopted by Congress.
I'VE have got a good man in the
White House and we ought to keep
him there as long as we need him,
| Senator Guffey declared.
