Here are the rules for getting a permanent or a temper

anybody wishing to settle permanently there must have a
job already lined up and letters from his employers to
prove it-and that may work against American Negroes

Sweeney Withdraws
After Third Charqe
OF Favoring KiIian
BY the kssocioted Press

BAD NAUHEIM. July l7.-Col.
Hardin Sweeney of Omaha, Nebr.,
voluntarily withdrew today as a
member of the military court trying
Col. James A. Kilian after he was
accused for the third time by the
prosecution of bias in favor of
Kilian, who is charged with cruelty
to prisoners in the guardhouse at
Litchfield, England.
Kilian's lawyer then challenged
both the prosecutor, Maj. Joseph S.
Robinson of New York, and the
courts law member. Col. William H.
Beck, jr., of Griffin, Ga. The court
refused, however, to remove either
Of them from the case.
All this happened in one dramatic
hour that brought to climax
disputes which have kept the Kilian
trial in turmoil for weeks-both
inside and outside the courtroom.
Sweeney Denies Bias.
Col. Sweeney, reading a prepared
statement. told the court that, al
though he denied any bias, "inas-
much as I am considering prefer
ring charges against the trial judge
advocate (prosecutor) consider it
improper for me to continue any
longer as a member of this court
I ask that I be permitted to with
draw without prejudice"
THE court sustains the challenge
and Col. Sweeney will withdraw" :"
announced the court president. Brig.
Gen. Robert Montague of Louisville,
Ky.
Col. Sweeney, gray-haired Regu-
lar Army veteran, served angry
notice on Maj. Robinson last Satur-
day that he contemplated signing
court-martial charges accusing Rob-
inson of conduct unbecoming an
officer" and of bringing false accusa-
tions against him in connection with
Maj. Robinson's two previous chal-
lenges of Col. Sweeney's impartiality.
Il bear no animosity toward the
trial judge advocate" Col. Sweeney
told the court. However, certain
official steps have been taken against
me which are without basis in fact
or fiction and have led to en-
barrassment and humiliation on my
part.
Seeks Only Vindication.
I'm preparing the charges against
the trial judge advocate I seek only
to vindicate my own reputation. l
do not seek revenge"
After he was excused from the
court, Col Sweeney walked over to
Maj. Robinson with a smile and
shook his hand.
Maj. Robinson had accused Col.
Sweeney of concealing a long friend
ship with Kilian, former Lichfield
commander, and with hostility to-
ward the prosecution.
In demanding Col. Beck's re-
moval from the court, the defense
attorney. 1t. Col, Raymond E. Ford
of Fort Pierce. Fla, accused the
law member of hostility toward
the defendant and friendship and
close association with the prosecu-
ton
Upheld in 10 Minutes.
1t took the court only 10 minutes
in secret session to uphold Beck
and deny the challenge
The court did not even bother to
go into secret session to dismiss
Col. Ford's challenge Of the pros
ecutor
With Col Sweeney's removal, the
trial will continue with one brigadier
general and six colonels constitut-
ing the court, which numbered nine
officers at the outset One officer
was removed peremptorily early In
the case.
