Tripp Praises Newspapers
For Aid in Bond Drive

Daily and Sunday newspapers
gave 10 per cent of their first pages
to War bonds on June IL and IL, the
opening days of the Fifth War Loan,
Frank E. Tripp, chairman Of the
Allied Newspaper Council for the
Treasury, said today.
In spite of newsprint shortage,
American newspapers are doing a.
colossal job promoting. the sale of
War bonds" Mr.. Tripp said.
Their accomplishment on the
opening days of the drive exceeded
anything in the first four loan
drives. In face of invasion news de-
mands, the daily and Sunday papers
gave 10 per cent of their first pages
on June IL and IL, and the weeklies
gave the loan % per cent of their
first pages the week the drive
opened.
This service and countless inside
pages of news promotion, none of
which can be bought, is exclusive of
thousands of pages of display ad-
vertising. Unstinted newspaper sup
port will continue to the enc of the

5edition Defendant
Loses 100000 Suit
Against Attorneys
Complaint by EImhurst
Charged 'Sobotoeine'
Of His Defenses
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

l
No cause of action against o. John
Rogge and Joseph w. Burns, Justice
Department prosecutors in the Sc
dition case, was shown in a COM
plant filed by Ernest F. Elmhurst,
one of the 20 defendants, asking
damages of 100000 from the Gov
lernment attorneys and his former
counsel, Ira Chase Koehne, for as
Sertedly conspiring to sabotage" his
defense, Justice James w. Norris of
District Court has ruled.
Justice Morris, however, studied
today other legal questions raised in
preliminary argument over the
suit, and James j. Laughlin, attor-
ney for Elmhurst in this particular
proceeding, was granted Is days to
amend the complaint
A complexity of legal issues was
raised when Justice Morris heard
the arguments late yesterday on
this civil process, one of numerous
pieces of collateral litigation grow
ing out of the sedition trial. The
mass trial is in recess until Mon
day.
Delay Is Granted.
At Mr.. Koehne's request that por-
tion of the Elmhurst complaint re-
lating to him was held in allegiance
until Justice Morris determines a
question the attorney raised. This
was Mr.. Koehne's contention that
he is immune from such proceed
ing while he is tied up in the sedi-
ton trial.
Mr.. Laughlin also is asking for
Elmhurst an injunction restraining
Mr.. Koehne, Mr.. Rogge and Mr.
Burns from interfering further with
the defendants defense. Elmhurst
now is represented in the sedition
case by M. Edward Buckley, who is
taking no part in the civil suit. Mr.
Koehne still has three clients at the
sedition trial-Lois De LAFAYETTE
Washburn, Frank w. Clark and H.
Victor Broenstrupp.
Immediate relief sought from
Justice Morris by Mr.. Laughlin was
restraining order preventing Mr..
Koehne from drawing down" 81 500
in cash which a friend put up for
Elmhurst's bail bond. 1t was brought
out, however, that surety company
holds the money and Justice Morris
said the restraining order was un-
necessary, since it was inconceivable
the company would turn it loose
while this suit was pending. Mr..
Laughlin told the court Elmhurst
had got his friend to assign the
money to Mr.. Koehne, but later
this had been revoked.
Plot Is Charged.
While Mr.. Laughlin said the plot
contemplated surrendering Elm
hurst into the marshal's custody and
having him thrown In jail, the other
attorneys developed that Chief Jus
tice Edward C. Eicher, presiding at
the sedition trial, had, with the
consent of the prosecution, reduced
Elmhurst's bond from $500 to
81 900, though he still was at liberty
under the original bond.
Philip r. Miller, appearing for
Prosecutors Rogge and Burns, said
he was at a loss to understand what
Elmhurst's complaint meant in
