800 Nozis
to Work On
State Farms

CHICAGO, May S - (P) -
About 5000 German war pris-
oners-less than a third of the
total number requested-will
be assigned 10 farms and food
processing plants in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Illinois during
the next three months, according
to Brig. Gen. John F. Davis of
the Sixth Service Command.
The figure was agreed upon
at a meeting of Army officials
and representatives of the War
Manpower Commission here
yesterday, after the VINO said
requests for $4,000 prisoners had
been received in the area.
Of the total number avail
able for the three states, Davis
said 5000 prisoners were being
brought into the area for tenn
poary assignment until mid
August and 5000 were avail
able in prisoner of war camps in
the command area. He added
that they would be divided
about equally among the three
states and will be shifted around
according to crop conditions.
The VINO already has certi-
fled TO the Army the need for
500 prisoners at Hartford, Mich,
TO work in food processing
plants in Allegan, Berrien and
Van Buren, counties. An estimat-
ed 600 are now being used in
numbering operations in north
ern Michigan and Illinois.

Precedent Reaches
Low Level in Courts,
Justice jackson Saws
Jurist DecIores Lawyers
No Longer Con Count
On Winning Pat Cases
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, May g.
Overruling of judicial nrece-
dents, Supreme Court Justice
Robert H. Jackson reported to-
day, has brought about situa-
ton where attorneys no longer
feel assurance that a pat case
will bring him expected victory
or defeat.
The justice pointed to the Supreme
Court as furnishing perhaps the
most dramatic and publicized ex-
amples of relaxation in the au-
thority of the precedent" but COM
mented that lawyers knew that it
was not alone in following the trend,
Addresses Law Institute.
Addressing the annual meeting of
the American Law Institute, he ex-
pressed the view that "the present
low estate of the precedent cannot
be dissociated from the enormous
multiplication of precedents."
i need not recite the increase
during the past century in numbers
OF courts of last resort, and of in
termediate courts of appeal and of
various tribunals for legal special
ties" he said.
Nor need I remind you how each
has increased the pace of decision
and the output of opinions. 1 should
like to keep abreast, indeed l think
1t is my duty to keep abreast, of
legal developments of the country.
But frankly cannot absorb the out
put. I am vaguely aware of a great
cloud of current decision of i'm
portance that I do not have time to
read, much less digest. And the
total accumulation of judicial ut
terances is even more formidable.
4 know that in this great mass
OF opinions by men of different
temperamentS and qualifications
and viewpoints, writing at different
times and under varying local in
duences, some printed judicial woHl
may be found to support almost
any plausible proposition"
Remedies Hard to Devise.
Justice Jackson observed that le-
gal opinions seemed subject to the
same natural law that affects cur
reorganization of volume decreases
the value Of each unit, and when
so many issues of opinion compete
for acceptance they inevitably suffer
discount"
Remedies are hard to devise. he
said.
Haste and pressure are too in
grained in our modern lives to
think courts can be free of them, "
he added. Mass production is so
much a premise of American think
ing that to question it's benefits in
any field is thought reactionary." p"

Izvestid Halls Czech Pact
AS Proof Of Soviet Policy
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. May 9.-The Soviet
Czech agreement for administration
OF liberated Czechoslovak territory
was hailed by the newspaper Izvestia
today as new proof of Russian policy
in the small states of Europe.
Izvestia's leading editorial said the
pact, signed in London yesterday
AROSE from the great Lucrative
mission of the Red Army" to beat
the German beast in his own den" "
This task" the editorial said, can
be fulfilled only by the common
efforts of the Allied nations"
Izvestia said the Soviet govern
ment accepted the Czech terms fully,
and signed the pact only after re-
ceiVing British agreement.
The agreement vests in the Soviet
commander supreme authority in
matters relating to conduct of the
war but provides a Czech delegate
shall administer civilian affairs in
the Czech area cleared of the enemy.
