'Hobeos Corpus Writ Is Issued
After Man Has Been Extrodited
Eieher Signs Orders for D. j. Herzoe,
Who Is Removed to MARYLAND

/ 1912. Gov. O'Conor OF Maryland re-
voked the pardon and ordered Her
zog recommitted.
Herzog then filed a petition for a
writ OF habeas corpus In Prince
Georges County, Md, and was freed
when Maryland judge ruled that
the Maryland law under which the
defendant had been reoommitted
was unconstitutional. In November
J943. however, the Maryland Court
OF Appeals reversed the decision of
the lower court. In the meantime
Herzog had been taken into GUS
tody in the District, in September,
l943, and was charged with false
pretenses here. These charges,
however, were nolle pressed yester-
day in the Municipal Court here.
After the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals had reversed the lower Mary
land court, HerZog was arrested
here on fugitive warrat end sought
his freedom in District Court here
on writ of habeas corpus, but his
petition was dismissed. Thereupon,
he appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals here and the lat
ter court last month affirmed the
District Court decision. In so do
ing the appellate court here said
the Maryland Court of Appeals had
decided the Maryland statute ap-
plying to his earlier return to Mary
land was constitutional and stated
that the appellate court here was
bound by that decision, at least as
far as it concerned the Maryland
constitution, and added:
"On the other hand, to- the extent
that it hypotheeizes a violation of
the United States Constitution, his
remedy was to challenge the Mary
land courts decision in the Supreme
Court - a."

EDUCATORS OPPOSE
ASTP CURTAILMENT|

WASHINGTON, Feb. 49, R =
Educators expressed concern to-
day over the national loss of edu-
Gated young men as well as the
financial effect on colleges and uni
versities from the Army's cu-tail-
ment of its Specialized Training
program.
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, chan
cellor of Stanford University, call
lone of the mistakes people
IN a democracy make because they
do not look far enough ahead"
Forecasting many years of war,
he said long preparation is nee
essary'' and declared that without
adequate training we're liable to
get into real trouble"
In the same vein, DR.. George F.
Zook, president of the American
Council On Education, expressed
hope the army will find way to
restore at least part of the curtail-
ment.
Unless this is done,' he said,
the army will not have this supply
OF college-trained men that is so
useful to them.''
An Associated Press survey indi-
Gated many smaller colleges would
be particularly hard hit by the az
my decision to withdraw about no.
700 of the 145, 1000 men assigned to
special training courses in 22O col
leges and universities. The $4,000
1or whom special training will con-
tlnue, are taking advanced medi-
cal, dental or engineering courses.
Announcing the decision yester-
DAY, Secretary of War Stimson
said it was dictated by reasons of
imperative military necessity" He
explained that the army is 2OO.O
men short of the goal it hoped, to
reach two months ago while the in
creased tempo ot offensive opera
lions and mounting casualties de-
manded immediate replacements
in the field.
The college fraternity system al
SO will be hard hit by the army's
action. Cecil j. Wilkinson, chair
man of the war committee of the
national interfraternity council.
said about 300 fraternity houses
valued at $7,500,000 are occupied
either by trainees or civilian stu
dents whose usual quarters have
been turned over to the army men.
