Pearl Harbor Trials Now

By the ASociated Press.
New moves In the Senate and
House to force early court martial
ing Of officers responsible for any
dereliction Of duty in the defense
of Pearl Harbor were condemned
today by Representative Celler,
Democrat. of New York, as IAN out
rageous attempt by Congress to in
terfere in affairs of the Army and
Navy"
He asserted "the whole thing is
political" The Army and Navy
would have q perfect right to ig-
more Congress, he said, land tell
1t to mind its own business"
Referring to resolutions by Sen
ator Ferguson, Republican, of Mich
igan, and Representative Short, Re-
publican, Of Missouri. which would
direct the Secretaries Of War and
Navy to institute court martial pro-
ceedings by September 7, Mr.. Celler
declared the aim was to bring to
trial Admiral Husband E. Kimmel
and Maj. Gen. Walter G. Short, who
were In command of American
forces at Pearl Harbor when the
Japanese struck.
This is an attempt to pry open
matters that should remain sealed
until after the war" MIR. Celler told
a reporter. Courts martial during
the war for Kimmel and Short
would be highly explosive, would un-
duly excite the people and preclude
a fair trial.. he added.
In the Senate, Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri, declared yes
terday he thought Admiral Kimmel
and Gen. Short Should be brought
to trial without any more delay"

tongue in cheek"
Mr.. Davis said in a statement We'd
nesday that the Owls policy would
be ito create the best possible i'm
preston of both candidates, with
absolute impartiality."
"Mr. Davis could not be any more
impartial than Harry Hopkins,
David Niles, Felix Frankfurter, Sid
ney Hillman or Earl Browder," said
the Ohioan, a frequent critic of
owl.
He is completely allied with this
group of fourth-term drum heaters.
For him even to suggest that under
his direction the owl would report
political news without regard to
partisanship is an insult to all those
who are familiar with his record"

6. W. Professor Sees
Peril in A. P. Decision

The recent decision of the three
judge Federal Court in New York in
the Associated Press antitrust case
is considered by S. Chesterfield Op-
penheim, professor of law at George
Washington University Law School
to be an encroachment on the free
dom of the press which might open
the door to other Government reg
ulation incompatible with the guar
anty of an unfettered press. He
spoke before the Patent Lawyers
Club of Washington on several
aspects of the case.
Pointing out that while the Fed
eral Court held that the A. P. by
laws imposing conditions on the
admission of applicants who COM
pete with present members in the
same field violate the antitrust laws
Prof. Oppenheim declared:
The real public interest is en-
bodied in the determination of the
founders of the Constitution when
the first amendment was ratified to
preclude forever Government inter-
ference with the functioning of the
press from the raw materials of
events to final publication and dis
tribution."
While agreeing with Judge Swans
dissent, Prof. Oppenheim said that
it did not go far enough. THE real
issue" he said, lis deeper than the
court perceived it to be. 1t is a ques-
tion of the existence or nonexist-
ence OF power to treat the news
paper press or news agencies as
businesses which can be regulated
for the public good.
In the light of Supreme Court
decisions it seems clear that no
branch of the Government has the
power to regulate the press so far
as what is regulated is intimately
concerned with the functions of
the press"

countries.

transferred from Serbia had en-
countered resistance when they at
tempted to take over the civil ad-
ministration OF Bulgaria.
