|Giraud Favors DELAY
In Trial Of Pucheu,
Ex-Vichy Minister
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, Mar. 7-Gen. Henri
Giraud, star defense witness in the
treason trial of Pierre Pucheu, for
mer Vichy interior minister, con-
1rmed on the witness stand today
two points in Pucheu's testimony
and declared the trial should be
postponed because proofs are lack
ing here in North Africa"
The commander in chief of the
French Army confirmed Pucheu's
statement that he endeavored, prior
to the Allied landings in North
Africa, to persuade Marshal Petain
to drop his policy of collaboration
with Hitler and that he came to
North Africa at Gen. Giraud's in
vitation.
Proofs Lacking. He Says.
When the French National Com
mittee discussed Pucheau's case
early last summer, Gen. Giraud
said, "I thought the Ctreason)
charge should not be brought be-
cause proofs Of such a serious
charge were lacking in North Africa
considered such grave cases
should be held until our return into
France"
He said that when he agreed
Pucheau could come to North Africa
he told him he should "use a false
name and abstain from political
action"
Placed Pucheu Under Arrest.
He declared he was surprised to
learn Pucheu came under his own
name and was causing agitation.
Consequently he placed Pucheu
under house arrest ito maintain
order and calm"
Coincident with the trial it was
announced yesterday that Devils
Island, famed as the site of Capt.
Alfred Dreyfus' exile, has been es-
tablished as a place for confinement
Of political prisoners.

Conferees May Finish
Compromise Draft on
Soldier Vote TODAY

House and Senate conferees
are expected to complete work
this afternoon on a bill permit
ting limited use of a Federal
ballot, subject to State approval.
The conference agreement, if
reached today, would be acted
on by the Senate Thursday and
by the House a day or two later.
The conferees were divided last
night over a last-minute change
permitting use of the Federal ballot
by members of the armed forces in
this country from States which have
no absentee ballot and which agree
to receive the Federal voting form.
Last week the conferees decided to
conflne the Federal ballot to those
overseas who apply for but fail to
receive their State ballots by Octo-
Der /. Use of the Federal ballot
overseas also would be confined to
service personnel from States whose
Governors certify it Is authorized by
State law.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont sponsored yesterdays
amendment enabling States that do
not have an absentee ballot to per-
NIT use Of the Federal voting form
by its servicemen in the United
States.
Some Of the conferees who favor
q wider use of the Federal ballot
were lukewarm toward this limited
use OF that ballot in this country.
1t would apply principally to Ken
lucky and New Mexico, though one
or two other States might come
within its terms.
Although some advocates of the
original Green-Lucas Federal ballot
bill are disappointed over the final
draft, which permits the States
to say what kind of ballot its citizens
shall use, Representative Bonner.
Democrat, of North Carolina said
he believed "an overwhelmingly
greater number of soldiers will have
an opportunity to vote than is now
provided"
The present law provides only for
State ballots but requires States to
waive poll tax and registration re-
quirements for servicemen.

Supreme Court Ru|ino
In Bank Case Adds
New Chapter 10 Rift

Another barbed dissent was in the
records of the Supreme Court today,
with the four member minority in a
banking case asserting, in effect,
that the majority had usurped the
functions of Congress in defining
the law.
The latest brush In a continuing
series, came yesterday when the
tribunal ruled, 5-4, that sharehold-
ers IN defunct bank-stock holding
company were liable for assessment
on shares Of national bank in the
portfolio Of the holding company,
under double liability legislation for
merly enforceable against national
banks. The legislation has been re-
pealed. The decision was written
by Justice Douglas. with Chief JUS
tice Stone, and Justices Black,
Murphy and Rutledge concurring.
The dissenting opinion was written
by Justice jackson, who was Joined
by Justices Roberts, Reed and
Frankfurter.
Justice Jackson declared that
the court is not enforcing a policy
OF Congress. It is competing with
Congress in creating reform in bank
ing, a field particularly within leg
islative rather than judicial COM
petence."
Banco Kentucky. Involved.
The case arose out of the failure
in November. 1880, of the National
Bank of Kentucky and the Louis
vile Trust Co., which had COM
bined to form Banco Kentucky Co.,
the holding company. through an
exchange Of stock. =
The receiver for the bank OBJ
tanned a $4,000 Judgment against
Banco as holder of all the banks
shares. He then sued the Banco
stockholders individually to recover
the balance of the assessment of
approximately $4,000 900, but lost Id
the lower courts, where the stock
holders claim to exemption was up-
held.
THE fact that Cangress did not
outlaw holding companies from the
national bank field nor did not un-
dertake to regulate them during the
period Of Banco's existence can
hardly imply that Congress sane
toned their use to defeat the policy
OF double liability" Justice Douglas
opinion said.
Minority's Argument.
The minority held that this liza
bility had not existed on "any
principle heretofore known to the
law" and concluded:
Congress, if the matter of bank
ing reform were left to it, could
deflne the limits of vicarious la
bility at the time it was imposed
The court is leaving the limits and
extent of that liability so vague that
a whole cluster of decisions will have
to be written to clarity what is being
done today"
In another action yesterday, the
court again refused a disbarment
proceedings review to Richard A,
knight, disbarred socialite New York
lawyer, and ordered his petition
stricken from the files as scam
dalous." In the petition, Knight
attacked the New York courts and
likewise criticized the Supreme
Court for earlier denying him a re-
view.

Murray "No Time for Love-" That
hilarious comedy bears striking
resemblance to the story Of the Gin

be rated among the years top pro-
auctions.

public. The picture was just as
popular during its recent one-week
run at the Mare Island naval hos
pital, San Francisco. Because many
patients could not be moved to the
hospital theater, 16-mm. print was
screened in wards and sick rooms.
"The Song of Bernadette" is an
impressive picture; it was done
beautifully, reverently, with dignity.
Jennifer Jones, new to the screen,
seems to have been perfectly cast
as the heroine; many of the best
actors and actresses in the theater
and the motion pictures are in the
cast, and all have given their best.
Paramount had a problem in 1.-THE
Unlimited" The star-spangled cast
includes Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey,
Donald Crisp and Gail Russell. But
there had to be an unseen actress
who means and weeps heartbroken-
ly in the night, filling the hearts Of
you and me and the rest Of the audi
ence with cold terror. She's the
ghost of Spanish gypsy girl. Betty
Harrington, character actress, got
the role.

SECURITY
(By Jesse Nimmons)

Social progress demands this
type of security for all. Social prog
ress also demands the liberty of the
individual which can be secured
through industrial democracy
alone. We believe that human lib
erty is the choicest product of the
march of civilization. Too much
power in the hands of a few indi-
viduals results in industrial inse-
curity. On the other hand, security
for all must be entrusted to the
hands of Christian men and women
who will be fair with all mankind.
Human beings are like sheep in
some ways. They follow their lead
ers, so leaders must be those who
look toward the distant star with
hope in their hearts that they will
not lead wrong. We must realize the
cost and suffering and heartaches
which are caused when we are led
wrong. Each individual must take a
hand in developing security, be-
cause we are social beings getting
and giving pleasure very largely in
the society of our fellow-beings.
Above all we must be interested in
L
man society as a whole to be sure
of security for ourselves.
Security for all answers the ques-
tion of Jesus, "What shall a man
give in exchange for his soul?" En-
ployment for all must be looked aft
er. Unemployment causes discour-
and self-respect whic beach indi-
