Vice Raid Warrant
Upheld , 7 Face Trial

The United States attorneys Of
flee today moved for immediate
prosecution of Nick Basiliko, %, of
the $500 block Of Georgia avenue
NV. and George Basiliko, rs. of the
5000 block of Eighth street NV,
after the Municipal Court Of Ap-
peals ruled that the warrant for the
brothers arrest on charge of op-
Grating a disorderly house was legal.
The decision reversed ruling of
Judge Nathan D. Margold in Mu-
nicipal Court which held that the
warrant under which 100 policemen
raided the Logan CIRCLE Hotel, at
Logan Circle and Thirteenth street
NV. on March ii was issued on
hearsay evidence.
The United States Attorneys Of
fee previously had held in abeyanee
the charges against Nick Basiliko,
described as principal owner. and his
brother George, said to be employed
as a clerk, after the court upheld
the defense counsel molten to sup
press evidence because the raid con-
stituted illegal entry and seizure of
property.
This was the first case in Munich
pal Court where the Government
has appealed a court ruling Of this
type, it was said.

The action against the II Nazi

after the bitter loss of the
26,000-ton battleship Scharn-

A Reuters version of a Mos

Admiral Doenitz had resigned,

chief was expected to step out.
In New York the Federal

quoted the Moscow radio as
saying pressure was being
brought on Doenitz to resign.
