Star Staff CORRESPONDENT.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 2l.-
With the eyes of the Nation more
intently on it than ever before
in its 35 years, the Governors
Conference today began discus
siOnS of State aid in the war pro-
gram and of postwar planning
by the States.
President Roosevelt in a MESA ge
to the conference, said today the
time of the conference lis critical.
in that everything that we have
developed, everything that We be-
lieve and cherish, is threatened as
never before
The time is important" the
President said, because America
along with the other United Ma
tlonS, is engaged in worldwide
struggle to determine whether the
type of government which we have
established and maintained here in
the United States-a Government
dedicated to the welfare of all the
people-can continue to exist"
Have Single Objective.
The States understand the critical
nature of the times, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, "and for more than two years
they have been devoting their ef-
forts and dedicating their resources
to the defense program and the
prosecution of the war"
'As never before in our history. y
he continued. Federal, State and
local governments have been CO.
ordinating their efforts and focusing
their activities upon one all-im-
portant common objective winning
the war.
II think we can take pride in the
manner in which this great demo-
cratic people. operating through its
regularly constituted public author
tiles, has converted its plants. its
factories and its mills. We can have
JuStifiable pride in what we have
done so far, but only if such pride
serves as stimulant for the more
arduous tasks that lie ahead-tasks
to which We have put our hand, and
tasks which we mean to see through
Il congratulate you and the States
that you represent for the job al
ready done, and look forward con-
f1dently to even closer cooperation
and more effective operation as the
Nation, the States and the local
ities-all composed of the same peo-

Noyes Explains Organiza ton.
Chief among the Associated Press
affidavits was one prepared by Frank
B. Noyes, president of The WASH
ington Evening Star Newspaper Co.,
and president of the Associated
Press for 38 years until 1898, who
declared that 1T was not contem-
plated by the men who organized
the Associated Press that all news
papers in the United States should
become members" but that it was
recognized that in order to establish
"a true cooperative organization,
the members must have the oppor-
tunity to select their own associates. ~
Based upon my experiences of sc
years with the press associations
and as newspaperman, Mr.. Noyes
said, 1T is my judgment that it is
not possible to maintain an un-
biased, complete and accurate news
report unless there exists, to set the
standard of such report. a mutual
cooperative non-profit organization
whose members. voluntarily Joined
together, control the operations of
the organization.
Fears Drop in Incentive.
"Only in this way can the bias OF
particular individuals and political
parties be prevented from inf1u-
encing the news. Experience both
in this country and abroad has DEM
onstrated this to be the fact"
Mr.. Noyes declared that to compel
the A. P. to serve all comers would
bring about a condition "fraught
with the gravest danger to the free
dom of the press, and, in turn, to
the freedom of the people He
added:

LONDON, June 2l.-The Ber-

earthquake had rocked the
northwest part of Anatolia Prov
ince of Turkey and that uncon-
tirmed reports placed the dead
in the city of Adapazar alone at
$4,000, half its population.
The account, from the none too

said the quake occurred shortly after
$50 pm. yesterday during a heavy
thunderstorm, and that a muffled
subterranean rumbling from below
the earth's surface added to the
terror.
The quake's epicenter was placed
at Adapazar and the unconfirmed
reports, Transocean said, were that
40 per cent of the houses were de-
stroyed and another 30 per cent were
damaged severely.
Other Areas Suffer.
Anatolia is the great western
peninsula of Turkey between the
Black and Mediterranean Seas, lead =
ing to the Dardanelles.
Earth tremors also were reported
felt in other parts of Anatolia, even
in the east. Sparse and disrupted
communications delayed accurate
accounts of damage and suffering.
The shocks were felt at Istanbul

principal city of Turkey, and the
German agency said the people there

Communist Can

Reverses Decision of
Lower Tribunal in
Schneidermun Cose
BY ]. A. FOX.


The Supreme Court today held
that an aliens membership in
the Communist party in 1927
does not warrant cancellation of
citizenship. In reversing an &C
tion of the Federal District Court
at San Francisco, the court de-
declined to say if the Communist
party advocates the overthrow
OF this Government by force and
violence.
The courts ruling came in de-
Gliding an appeal by William Schnei-
derman, Russian born secretary of
the Community party in California,
whose citizenship was ordered can
celed by the Federal District Court
on June II, 1910, on the grounds
that he had been naturalized illegal
ly in 1927.
The Supreme Court split, to g. in
its ruling today, Justice Murphy de-
livering the majority opinion. Chief
Justice Stone and Justices Roberts
and Frankfurter dissented. Justice
Jackson, former Attorney General
who handled the litigation in the
Justice Department, did not par
ticipate.
The basis for proposing to revoke
! Mr.. Schneidermans citizenship was
the allegation that he failed to re-
veal that during the statutory five
year probationary period he be-
longed to an organization advocat-
ing the overthrow of the Govern

May Affect Bridges Case.
Importance was attached to the
Schneiderman case because of
pending deportation proceedings
against Harry Bridges, West Coast
CIO leader, whom the Government
charges with having had Commu-
nistic Affiliations.
Mr.. Bridges is an Australian.
Under a law passed in 1910 any
alien who has been affiliated with
subversive organization since ar
rival in this country is subject to
expulsion.
Congress did not say, however
what constitutes Subversive Or
ganization in passing this law, but +.
definition from the Supreme Court
was looked for in the Schneiderman
case.
Mr.. Schneiderman's case was
pleaded in the high tribunal by
Wendell L. Willkie, 1910 Republican
presidential nominee.
The court said the Government
had not proved that Mr.. Schneider
mans beliefs on the subject OF
force and violence were such that
he was not attached to the Consti-
tuition in 1927"
Question Unsettled.
On the subject of the Communist
party beliefs, Justice Murphy said
For some time the question
whether advocacy of governmental
overthrow by force and violence is
principle of the Communist party
of the United States has perplexed
courts, administrators, legislators
and students. On varying records
In deportation proceedings some
