Posters warning workers they
no longer can move at will from

plan provisions on migration of

ing to appear previously when his
name was called-to appeal the de-
clSlon OF the commissioner of in
ternal revenue in disallowing a de-
auction based on an alleged bad
debt OF $4,000. His income tax
report for 1888 showed net in
come of 81 ,220 on which he paid a

tends that he owes $458.64 more.

ness in Washington had been re-
sponslble for his previous absences.
Mr.. Monroe asked that the case be
transferred to Washington. He said

ing was denied.

Held Under Amusement

A case involving the right of
the District to require the Jeho-
vah's Witnesses to take out a
license to sell religious literature
was taken under advisement by
the Supreme Court this after

speech, press and religion by David
Busey and Orville J. Richie. who
we're fined IS for selling scent PAM
phlets at Fourteenth street and
Park road without paying the pre-
scrlbed fee of S5. In several similar
cases, the court recently held such
legislation unconstitutional.
Hayden c. Covington, counsel for
the witnesses, argued that the
statute was not intended to cover
their activities and said that if it
was, it was unconstitutional.
Vernon E. West, assistant cor
poratlon counsel said the District
took the position that the statute
was broad enough to cover the al
legged offense, but he recalled that
similar State laws had been held
unconstitutional Justice WILEY
Rutledge was disqualified from sit
ting today as he heard the case
when it was appealed from Police
Court to the United States Court

for the utmost unity among freedom
loving people Of this hemisphere.
the Roman Catholic hierarchy has
indeed taken upon itself a grave
responsibility in introducing the
divisive elements of sectarianism
bigotry and religious intolerance.
Lovers of democracy everywhere
will be shocked at this open-handed
effort to gain ecclesiastical advan-
tage at the expense of the very prin-
ciples for which free men are fight

the hierarchy Roman Catholics
ought to be suppressed in the United
States, seeing it is predominantly
Protestant"

toned here, failed today to obtain
Supreme Court review of a de-
cision by District of Columbia courts
that full faith and credit must be
given an order oy a North Carolina
tribunal awarding Mrs. Boone GUS
tody of their two children.
Maj. Boone said he and his wife
separated in 1889 and agreed for
him to have CUSTODY of the children.
He added that he brought them here
November l, 1910, when he entered
military service AID that they have
not returned to North Carolina.
On April Is, l941. ne said he filed
suit for divorce in the FORSYTH
County North CarolinN Superior
Court and was able to obtain but
one days leave Of absence to testify
at the trial. The order of the court.
he added. made no reference to the
divorce action itself. but awarded
the cnildrens custody to Mrs. Boone.
Mrs. Boone filed a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus in the Federal
February 5, 1912, alleging that her
husband had failed to give her Gus
tody of the children.

that he and the children were not
residents of North Carolina and that
it had no jurisdiction to enforce the
order. Mrs. Boone asserted, how
ever, that he had alleged in the
divorce acton that both he and his
wife were residents of North Caro-
lima.
Both the District Court and the
Court of Appeals here held that thev

Chief of Italian Staff
S Relieved of Post
Berlin Radio Announces
Shifting Of Gen. Rosi
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Gen. Ezio Rosi, chief of staff of
the italian Army, was relieved of
his post today and appointed COM
mander of an army group. the Berlin
ado said in a Rome dispatch re-
Cotded by the Associated Press.
Gen. Mario R0atta. who was chief
Of staff from March 3, 194l. until he
was relieved by Cen Vittorio AM
hroSlo on January 10. 1912. again
vas named chief of staff of the ItaI-
IAN Army, the dispatch said.
Gen. Alfredo Cuggioni was ap-
pointed commander of another army
group on May 80, the Berlin radio
said.
Roatta last was reported to have
been in command Of the Italian ID
Army, following his dismissal as
chief Of staff last year. He figured
prominently in arnistice negotia-
lions after Premier MusSolini's ia
nous stab in the back attack on
tottering France. He handed the
Italian armistice terms to the French
at a closely guarded meeting in a
fIIIdEt near Rome on June L3. l94U.
The Shakeup today was but the
latest in a series of uphcayals in the
italian high command since Mus
s0linl entered the war. The pre-
mier likewise has reshuff1ed his gov
ernment severely, and purged the
Fascist party extensively Last week
It was announced that only army
veterans. decorated individuals and
certain other classes would be
allowed to remain members of the
Fascist party.
Rosi is 63 year. old He COM
manded several units in the World
War, winning thu Chevalier Cross
and the Military Order Of Savoy.
He became a staff officer after the
last war and brieadier general in
1885. The next year he stepped up
q rank and become a divisional
commander. BY 1910, Rosi was
commander of the Army of the Po
and early in 1912 became a full gen.
eral and commander of the 9Th
italian Army-the army that was
chopped up so severely in Russia
that 1t was removed entirely from
that front last winter.
