New Sanity Hearing
Granted De Marcos
By Judge Morris

Julian r. De Marcos, 7S, seek
ing his freedom from St. Eliza
beths Hospital in one of many
habeas corpus proceedings, gained
a partial victory today when Justice
James w. Morris of District Court
ordered a denomination by the
Commission on Mental Health.
The re-examination is to deter
mine whether De Marcos is of sound
mind at present
If the commission should report
that De Marcos is of sound mind,
he probably would be ordered freed.
it was believed by counsel On the
other hand, if the commission should
find De Marcos is of unsound mind,
there is a question as to whether
a regular lunacy hearing before a
jury may be ordered.
Justice Morris took the case under
adviSement last month after argu-
mentS in the habeas corpus pro-
ceeding. In connection with today's
order, he handed down a 13-page
memorandum opinion in the case,
saying in conclusion:
From the evidence adduced in
this hearing, am convinced that
a sufficient showing has been made
by the petitioner respecting his pres
ent mental condition to justify and
require fresh and thorough re-
examination of such mental con-
dltion by the Commission on Men
tai Health in accordance with the
applicable statute. In this view, it
is my duty to reopen the original
commitment proceedings for the
purpose stated"
De Marcos has been in the hos
pital approximately seven years,
since being returned from Canada,
where he was convicted of man.
slaughter, In 1914 he was freed in
District Court in a habeas corpus
proceeding, only to be returned to
the hospital after the Court of Ap-
peals had reversed District Court.
He was recommitted to st. Eliza
beths after being returned here from
tennessee early in l945 on a charge
of assault with dangerous weapon,
a pencil, against a fellow patient in
the hospital. The assault charge,
however, was nolle pressed. De Mar
COS was convicted in Canada in 1884
on the manslaughter charge and
subsequently found to be of unsound
mind.

Romu|o Makes Appeal
For Original Sugar
Quota for Philippines

Brig Gen. Carlos Romulo, resi-
dent commissioner from the Phil
ippines, made a final plea to the
Senate Finance Committee today to
restore the original sugar quota OF
850,000 long tons to the Philippine
trade bill as the committee COM
pleted hearings on the measure.
The committee then deliberated
over the measure in executive Ses-
sion for two hours, but put off a
vote until Tuesday. There appeared
to be good chance the committee
will restore the cut the House made
when it changed the sugar quota to
850,O00 short tons, a reduction OF
1900 short tons:
Gen. Romulo also recommended
two other amendments, but some
committee members suggested that
changes in the House text be held
to minimum to expedite final pas
sage OF the measure, which is needed
to get the war-torn industries OF
the Philippines going again.
The bill will regulate commerce
between the United States and the
Philippines during the first % years
of independence, which takes effect
July 4. 1t allows 8 years OF
free trade, followed by 20 years OF
gradual application of tariffs.
Asserting that Cuba is the only
sugar area that would benefit from
a cut in the Philippine quota, Gen
Romulo told the committee that "if
it is a choice of whether you want
to help the Philippines or Cuba,
I'll let the war record of the Philip
pines speak for itself"
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas asked Gen. Romulo what steps
the Filipinos could take to return
to the jurisdiction of the United
States if after four or five years
they should change their minds
about independence.
Gen. Romulo replied that he did
not think the Filipino people would
change their minds, but he pre-
sumed if they did a plebiscite would
be suggested for consideration by
this country.

United Jewish Appea
Nears Halfway Mark
OF $1,000, Quota

| Nearly half OF WaShlngtOn'S quota
of 81 100000 for the united Jewish
appeal was raised last night at
dinner at the Hotel Statler at which
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York
and Senate Majority Leader Barkley
pictured the sufferings of European
Jews under the Hitler regime.
Purpose of the drive, which seeks
to raise $100,000,00O throughout the
country, is to provide for European
refugees and promote the settle
ment of Jewish immigrants in Pales-
tine.
At last nights special gifts" din
ner, about $50 persons gave a total
of $475,830, their contributions
ranging from $1oO to $4,000. Jew
ish leaders said most of the gifts
represented an increase of $50 per
cent over the donors 1945 contribu-
ton, and in some cases as much as
1000 per cent.
10000 Givers Minimum Goal.
Milton w. King, chairman of the
local drive, said that during the
next six weeks an effort will be
made to reach a minimum of 10000
contributors here. Mass solicita-
ton Of the Jewish homes of the
city will begin soon, conducted by
some 700 volunteer workers.
Addressing the dinner gathering
Rabbi Wise said that while Europe S
Jews today, ARE free from the heel
of the conquerer. they are not free
from the grip OF death. They are
free from the terrors of the con-
centration camp, but they are not
free from the dangers of persecu-
ton and oppression"
Rabbi Wise said that according
to the latest figures he had received
from Europe, the death toll of Jews
there was 100000. an increase of
100000 over the previously reported
total.
He declared that the Jews of
Europe would continue to be sent to
Palestine, regardless of the recon-
mendations of the Anglo-American
Commission of Inquiry, now study
ing the question of immigration into
that country.
Palestine Trek to Continue.
Whatever the judgment of the
commission" he declared, "and
whether the British and American
governments accept it or not, Jews
will continue to go to the homeland
promised to them by the Balfour
declaration.
"A people which fails to return to
its homeland because it has not been
given certificates, does not deserve
to return
Senator Barkley expressed hope
that the great heart" of the British
people would open the doors of Pal
estine to full-scale Jewish immigra-
ton. He pointed out that the
British agreement to admit $500
Jews monthly to Palestine would fall
far short of President Truman's re-
quest for the admission of 100000.

the plants "in order that the manu-
facture of gas may continue and

with"
This first test of the new State

er to take over public utilities as a
last resort in labor disputes, came
at 1901 am. today When State
troopers appeared at the scattered
plants and read the proclamation to
company and union officials.
Union leaders, who previously had
announced that workers would stay
at their jobs if the State took over
in the event negotiations over wage
increase demands collapsed, told
their members to give 100 per cent
cooperation to Mr.. Harper.
Under terms of the proclamation
Mr.. Harper can order all personnel
including management to continue
at their tasks at the same pay and
working conditions and has power to
appoint assistants to aid him in
administration of company opera
tions until such time as the wage
dispute was settled.
The wage dispute began several
weeks ago with union demands for
a 20 per cent wage increase. The
final union decision to strike came
yesterday when conference ended
after the company rejected Is per
cent wage increase demand The
utility had offered 1874 per cent

may place trust funds, Chairman

would exercise in the management
