Court May Decide
Today in Sedltion
Case MistriaI Motions
Dozen Defense Steps
To Prove President
Prejudiced Jury Studied
BY CARTER BROOKE HOMES


Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher
may decide some time today whether
President Roosevelt so prejudiced
the jury in the sedition case with a
scathing reference to an organiza-
ton at issue in the trial that q
mistrial should be granted.
The judge had under consider
alton a dozen defense motions for
q mistrial and another demand for
the case to be postponed until after
the election. The motions were fol-
lowed by two petitions for the Jurors
to be pollef to determine how many
OF them, If any, heard or read the
Presidents speech Thursday, and
whether they discussed it among
themselves. These requests were
intended to disclose the likelihood
of prejudice.
Deadline At Noon.
The court gave all interested de-
Tense attorneys until noon today to
file written arguments and cite
authorities, but did not promise to
hear further oral arguments, de-
ferring that matter until this after
noon. Nor did Justice Eicher say
when he would rule, though there
was a possibility that he would dis
pose of the matter before adjourn
ment at pm.
# The demands to end the 6-month-
old trial or stop it during the polit-
ical campaign came as a result of
the Presidents comment on the
Silver Shirts, mentioned in the in
dictment and the Governments bill
of particulars as one of the organi-
cations through which the Is de-
PENDANTS carried on an alleged con-
spiracy to undermine the loyalty of
the armed forces. .....5
William Dudley Pelley, de-
fendant, organized and led the
Silver Shirts. Mr.. Roosevelt linked
the group land others on the luna
tic fringe" with Mussolini's Black
Shirts and Hitler's Brown Shirts,
just as the prosecution is seeking
to do.
Poll Called Necessary.
In one of the motions to poll the
jury, E. Hilton Jackson and John A.
Jackson, attorneys for Gerald B. |
Winrod, said such move was neces-
sary to avoid miscarriage of JUS
tice, pointing out that the presump-
ton of prejudice will persist unless
questioning the jury dispels it.
These counsel pointed to the char
acter of the utterance, its bearing
upon the orderly conduct of this |
trial and the exalted character of
the author"
In arguments supporting mistrial
motions, other attorneys commended
that. while the jury was under strict |
instruction to read or listen to MOTH
ing concerning the case, the mem
bers could not be expected to an5ici-
pate the President, in an address
broadcast to the<.Nation, would in
ject denunciation of an organiza-
ton tied closely into the Govern
ment's case. 1t was likely, they said.
that all or most of the jurors heard /
the speech or later read it.

Precautionary Measures

Now let us consider the pre-
cautiOnary measures "A home
maker can take so that she and
her family may be protected
against painful burns.
First always turn the handles
OF cooking utensils inward from
the edges of the range 10 avoid
spillage of hot liquids; and turn
handle away from lighted top
burners so handles do not get
hot. Always use thick pot hold
erS TO remove covers from
utensils.
Never pour hot liquid from a
utensil into another held by the
other hand, but always set the
utenSil on a firm surface. Do
not reach across the top OF a
lighted burner, nor across a
utensil containing cooking food,
nor across a steaming kettle.
