Supreme Court Voids
Conviction Of Youth
On Day Of Staying
(From Yesterdays Last Edition. }

| from Yesterdays Last Edition.)
More than IA years after the event
The Supreme Court today ordered
new trial for a Michigan boy who
was accused of murder, tried and
sentenced to life imprisonment all
on the same day.
In a unanimous, unsigned opin-
ion, the court held that through the
speed of the procedure the defend
ant, Rene de Meerler, was deprived
of rights essential to a fair hearing
under the Federal Constitution"
De Meerler was charged in Lena
wee County Circuit Court in Adrian
Mich, with the robbery Staying OF
a gasoline station attendant. He
was II years old at the time. His
attorney told the Supreme Court
that ''the word guilty was literally
put into his mouth" in the county
court.
The Supreme Courts opinion
said:
Here Tin this case) a 17-year-old
defendant confronted by a serious
and complicated criminal charge
was hurried through unfamiliar
legal proceedings without a word
being said in his defense.
"At no time was assistance OF
counsel offered or mentioned to
him, nor was he apprised of the
consequences of his plea" of guilty
In other actions today, the court:
l. Refused to rule on validity of
a New Hampshire law establishing
maximum rates a newspaper or
radio station may charge for po-
litical advertising. The Portsmouth
IN. H. Herald sought a review,
contending the law violated free
dom of the press and other consti-
tutional guarantees.
2. Upheld, 8 to l, a reorganization
plan for the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad. The railroad had asked
a new reorganization, saying the
present plan would mean loss of
$40, 100000 by some security hold
ers. Justice Frankfurter, who dis
sented, said the plan meant control
of the road would pass into hands
of "the so-called insurance group
in New York"
3. Ruled unanimously that busi-
ness firms cannot collect interest
from the Government on customs
duty overpayments they were i'm
properly required to make. The
decision was in the case of the New
York Rayon Importing Co., Inc.
(No. q, which sought interest on
1898 ,292 the Government refunded
as tariffs enormously collected.
4. Held unanimously that railroads
surrendered their claims to public
lands in 1910 when the Government
agreed to pay them full rates on
Government freight. Previously the
railroads had given the Government
a lower rate as result of land
grants under an 1874 law. The deci-
sion was on claims by the Santa Fe
Railroad to certain public lands In
New Mexico and Arizona.
5. Ruled, in 5-4 decision, that a
patent owner who licenses others to
use his invention may require them
to surrender to him any patentable
improvements they discover.
IN the Michigan case, De Meerler
was accused of the Staying on the
morning of May 16, 1882. He was
sentenced that afternoon. He ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court last
August. De Meerler contended
among other things that his rights
under the Federal Constitution were
denied because he did not have an
attorney in the county court.

v
trial and added that he would make
la decision as to whether he would
hear the case again or pass it along
to another Judge.
Former Prosecutor stands Firm.
Former Lenawee County Prosecutor
Major Bird, who handled the States
ease against the defendant in 1882,
said he still believed De Meerler had
Ia fair trial.
The Supreme Courts decision fol-
lowed three years of legal maneuver-
ing by a Detroit attorney, Joseph
Louisselle, who became interested in
the case three years ago when he
met De Meerler during visit to
Southern Michigan Prison.
From the convict, he learned de-
tails Of the events of May 8, 1882,
the date on which the State charged
De. Meerler and Virgil Scott, also
II at that time, shot a filling station
operator to death during holdup
near Adrian, Mich.
Police testimony at the trial in
dicated that De Meerler had held
the death weapon that fired the
bullet which killed George Brown,
65.
Both Received Life Terms.
On May 16, 1882, the pair pleaded
guilty to murder charge and both
were sentenced to life terms. Scott
is still in Jail and no bid for a new
trial has been made in his behalf.
Mr.. Louisselle said he had been
asked to file such a motion but had
delayed any action pending out
come of the Supreme Court test on
DR.. Meerler's case.
The Detroit attorney said that

Appeared Worried
When He Wus Token
To Worden's Office
BY the Assoeioied Press

JACKSON, Mich, Feb. 4.-Tall,
saIlow-complexioned Rene de Meer-
ler, 81, who was sentenced to
imprisonment more than IA years
ago for a holdup Staying, was COM
pletely fiabbergasted" yesterday
when prison officials told him the
Supreme Court had granted him a
new trial.
The 6-foot-1-incla convict was at
work in the arts and crafts shop of
Southern Michigan Prison when
Deputy Warden Fred c. Sanborn
sent for him to break the news that
the Supreme Court had given him
hopes of possible freedom.
The warden gave this version of
the interview:
"De Meerler has had perfect
record at this prison since he was
transferred here in 1910 from Mar
Iquette (Mich.) Prison and he obvi-
ously was very worried and appre-
hensive when the guards brought
him into my Office. You could tell
he wasn't quite sure of what 1t was
all about.
No Plans for Future.
when I told him of the Supreme
Courts action, he didn't say thing
for minute. He was just beaten
boy and looked as If he wanted to
cry. / told him, Go ahead and cry
if you want to- but he swallowed a
couple of times and said he'd be all
right.
HE finally seemed to straighten
out a bit and told me couple of
times, Boy, 1t will be great If do
get out of prison this time
HE said he didn't have any plans
for the future In the event that he
gets out and that all he's looking
forward to now is the new trial the
Supreme Court ordered"
The warden continued, 'Then he

Accordingly it semains for CAA to determine whether it agrees with our legal opinion as restated herein as well as determine ac- ceptability of the proposed form ula from the Federal standpoint, and to advise the Territory and its municipalities accordingly

He reports that the Co., CD now has about 8 CT 40 persons living on the site of the former Army barracks near Haines.

SEWARD TB GASES ARE TRANSFERRED TO MT. EDGE(UMBE
Lack of ANS Funds Forces Withdrawal from Pri-
 ydte Hospital Program

Tuberculosis patients of the All aska Native Service now being treated at the Seward Sanatorium will be transferred to Mt. Edge cumbe during the next two weeks according to Don c. Foster, ANS General Superintendent. He said that these patients are being re- moved from the private hospital there which is operated by the Methodist Church because ANS does not have sufficient funds to pay for the cost of their treat ment.
 Foster explained that those who wish to do so will be sent to the Mt Edgecumbe Hospital operated by ANS where the Federal Gov ernment will not have to expend as much for their treatment. 9th CTS, who do not wish to come to Mt Edgecumbe, must make their own arrangements for treatment as ANS will not be able to furnish further assistance.
 Foster said that a total of 48 patients are now at Seward. He said that the first "A will be trans ported this week on board the $. s. Baranof and that the other "A will he brought south on board the s. S. Alcutian on it's next trip.
 He said that it is regrettable that he is forced to take this action in removing the patients from Seward, because the best TB specialist in the Territory is attached to that hospital. He felt, however, that there would be con- siderably less in cash expenditures made if they were brought to the Jaronski Island hospital. He said the lack of sufficient appropria- tions by Congress left him with no other alternative.

July 3, l947, to CAA Attorney Noggle:
 Please be advised that the Territory has no quarrel with the legality of such arrangement and stands ready and willing to pro- ceed along such lines under the Federal Airport Act am sure that this is as close as the Terri tory can come, under existing law, to assure operation of any airport. It is my impression that your agency has already ruled that the authority contained in Ch. 29 S.. L. A. 1945 is not bread enough to enable a city to deal directly in its own behalf under the Federal Airport Act It appears that there is no specific language authoriz- ing the cities in Alaska to ac- cspt Federally allotted money all though they may receive sites from the Federal government. If this impression is correct, there would no affirmative solution but to enter into arrangements for the Territory to act as thc sole spon- sor of municipal airport project las above outlined
