The Turks are said to feel that 1t

Of Allied postwar aims.
2. A satisfactory explanation of
how and when and to what extent
Turkey will be armed If she should
enter the conflict, plus a definite

To Ask Eicher 10 Hold

Action Foeed by Attorney
Who Walked Out of
Sedition Cose Week AGO
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Chief Justice Edward G. Eicher,
presiding at the sedition trial in
District Court, is expected to re-
tceive a Government request to
cite for contempt Of court Henry
H. Klein, a defense attorney, who
walked out of the case a week
ago, and is reported at his home
in New York.
Chief Prosecutor o. John Rogge
obtained permission of the court
today to file petition dealing with
the absence of Mr.. Klein. While the
petition had not been drafted and
the nature of it was not discussed
in open court, 1t was indicated un-
officially that it probably would
state that the attorney had been
builty of fragrant contempt and
should be compelled to return to
face citation.
Mr.. Rogge hoped to present the
petition by tomorrow morning.
No Word Received.
Mr.. Klein's client. Eugene N
Sanctury, who has been assigned
temporary counsel since his attor-
ney left. told the court he had made
an effort to get Mr.. Klein back, as
he promised Justice Eicher, but had
heard nothing further from him.
I'VE we're told that Mr.. Klein
would be back here" said Mr. Rogge.
His absence is a serious breach of
conduct. We haven't done anything
about it. Perhaps this is the time
to face the ISSUE"
Justice Eicher said the court also
had expected Mr.. Klein would re-
turn.
Permission Granted.
"The Government would like to
file a petition with reference to Mr..
Klein" the prosecutor said.
The Government is given that
permission" Justice Eicher replied
Sanctuary said he did not want to
proceed with temporary counsel If
that would jeopardize his position.
He pointed out that James j. Laugh
lin, whom Justice Eicher ousted from
the case a week ago. had been his
local attorney of record, and If he
could not have Mr.. Klein, he wanted
Mr.. Laughlin.
