Alien Enemy Clusters
Upheld on Appeal

The United States Court OF Ap-
peals yesterday upheld the con-
stitutionality Of the Alien Enemy
Act and held Unbelievable the
power of the President to restrain
and to provide for removal Of alien
enemies in time of war.
The appellate court sustained the
District Court in dismissing two
suits and granting summary judg-
ment in another in favor of the
Government in which 159 individuals
had sought injunctions to prevent
deportation to Germany. In two of
the suits. the Citizens Protective
League of New York had entered as
plaintiff in behalf of the individuals.
The opinion written by Justice E.
Barrett Prettyman said:
"The Alien Enemy Act is consti-
tutional both as to exercise of power
conferred upon the Federal Govern
ment and as a grant of power by the
Congress to the President. = = If the
power to remove alien enemies from
its territory in time of war were not

Goering an Immoral
Criminal Type and
Greedy, Schacht Says
BY the Associated Pssts

NUREMBERG, May 3.-Hjalmar
Schacht's evaluation of Hermann
Goering as an Immoral criminal
type" whose greed knew no bounds
was read into the record of the In
ternational Military Tribunal today
Goering listened with an air OF
incredulity while American Prosecu-
tor Robert H. Jackson read a state
ment which Schacht had made to
United States Army interrogators
about the former reichsmarshal.
At the conclusion, Goering shook
his head resignedly and tapped his
forehead with forefinger, indicat-
ing his conviction that Schacht had
lost his mind.
Spars With Jackson.
Spectators were convulsed with
laughter as Schacht, former Nazi
financial wizard, spared expertly
with Mr.. Jackson and gave him a
lecture on certain banking methods
for your enlightenment and in
struction."
In his assessment of Goering
given interrogators last year.
Schacht described his old enemy as
the most egocentric being imag-
inable."
Assumption of political power
was for him only a means of per-
sonal enrichment" the statement
said. He knew no comradeship.
He was friendly only so long as it
was useful to him.
"His knowledge in all fields was
equal to zero, especially in eco
nomicS. In appearance he
was SO theatrical as only to be
compared with Nero"
Broke Oath to Hitler.
The statement said woman
once told Schacht that Goering ap-
peared before guests at his home
clad in Roman toga with jeweled
sandals and with his face painted
and lips rouged."
Under croSs-examination, Schacht
blithely conceded he broke an oath
of loyalty to Hitler when I found
out that the man was a criminal.
I am proud of it,"
When Mr.. Jackson suggested that
Schacht had eagerly followed the
Nazi conquest of the Sudetenland
to take over the banks there, he
reported that Hitler did not take
the Sudetenland by force, the
ALLIES had given it to him."

ment brought by Jack Siegal. lessor

tract is a private one between in
dividuals, and has no relation to
war emergency powers.
Commemorative Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas, representing the
defendant, said, however, I'VE SUBJ
NIT that it would be an exceedingly
strange view OF our present economic
life" to assume the war is over.
In deciding for the defendant,
Judge Mccarthy said, "As far as
I'm concerned, the war isn't over.
I don't see how you're going to prove

the school term might interfere with

tention that the School Board was
not named a respondent to Mr.
Balls action which has been joined

Regulations or Close

Miss Edith Thompson. operator of
a private school at 100 South Wash
ington street, Falls Church, has been
informed by Mayor M. H. Haertel
that she will have to cease opera
tions after June IS unless she COM
plies with specifications set up in
the recently enacted nursery school
ordinance.
The Mayor, in his letter, which
was made public at a Town Council
meeting last night, pointed out that
as a result of the inspection of Miss
Thompson's school. to which she
has strenuously objected, the town
is unable to Issue license covering
operation of your school in the
manner in which it was operated at
the time of the inspection"
The Mayors letter went on to list
specific causes for the towns action.
AS result of charges brought last

that Edward G. Knouse, chairman
Of the Town Planning Commission
and member of the town council. be
removed from his position on the
council, that body last night unani-
mously gave vote of confidence to
Mr.. Knouse and the committee of
town officials which accompanied
him on the inspection tour.

they were going to make an inspec-
ton. 1t was suggested that in the
future, no notice of an inspection be
given.

following actions:
Prohibited parking in the area

Fairfax zoning Suit
Dismissed by Judge

A petition filed In the Fairfax
County Circuit Court by Lonnie
Mutersbaugh seeking to declare in
valid an action of the County Board
of Supervisors in rezoning a lot at
Franklin Park from rural business
to suburban residential was dis
missed yesterday by Judge Paul E.
Brown.
Judge Brown issued his ruling
after declaring the original applica-
ton of Mr.. Mutersbaugh for a
change in zoning was illegal because
it was so worded that it requested
the lot to be changed to a classifi-
cation not provided for in the county
zoning ordinance.
The lot was first rezoned by the
board last November from its orig
inal suburban residential classifca-
ton to rural business with the un-
derstanding that Mr.. Mutersbaugh
would file another application re-
questing similar rezoning for three
additional lots. At the hearing on
the second application December 1s
number of residents of Franklin
Park protested rezoning the three
lots and also requested the board to
rezone the first lot back to resi-
Dental.
The board denied the application
and on its own motion rescinded its
previous action and by 4-2 vote
rezoned the first lot to residential
Mr.. Mutersbaugh contended that
under the provision of the zonine
ordinance the board was required tc
advertise the rezoning of the lot ano
set date for public hearing before
taking any further action.
Mr.. Mutersbaugh's attorney, Harry
Porter, noted an exception to the
ruling.
