Carroll Planning Suit
Here 10 Force Army 10
LEI Him Defend Krupp
By the Associated Press

NUREMBERG. Germany, Dec. 10.
An American military tribunal
trying the Krupp armaments firm
for war crimes denied today a Sec
ond appeal by Alfred Krupp for the
services OF Earl j, Carroll, attorney,
OF Hayward. Calf.
Mr.. Carroll Immediately an.
nounced to the press that he would
carry the issue to court in Wash
ington and challenge the validity Of
all the American military tribunals
in Nuremberg.
AS soon as the court read itS
ruling. which charged Mr.. Carroll
with "flagrant defiance" Of orders by
Military Gov. Gen. Lucius D. Clay,
Dr. Otto Kranzbuehler formally re.
signed as Krupp's defense counsel.
Kranzbuehler told the court that
Alfred Krupp. the chief defendant
and sole owner of the vast cannon
making establishment. 'is only
interested in being represented by
Carroll" and that he preferred,
therefore, to continue without any
counsel inasmuch as he had been
denied the services Of an attorney
of his choice.
Choice Declared Real Issue.
The court ordered Kranzbuehler
to continue defending Krupp until
relieved
Mr.. Carroll declared the real is.
sue is whether a defendant is al.
lowed counsel of his own choice"
The American prosecution holds
that the military tribunals are in
ternational courts deriving their
authority and Jurisdiction from a
four-power agreement of the Allied
Control Council and that. there
fore, American laws and procedures
do not strictly apply.
Mr.. Carroll contends that the tri-
bunals actually are military conf
missions, similar to courts martial,
and that they are bound by Amer
ican law.
Mr.. Carroll said he would fly to
Washington next week to file writ
of prohibition against the Amer
ican Secretary of Defense to halt
the proceedings OF the Krupp case.
In addition, he said he also would
file writ of habeas corpus in an
effort to effect the release of Krupp
and would seek a mandate to COM
pei the court here to recognize him.
Gen. Clay's Letter Cited.
krupp has maintained that he re-
quired American counsel to obtain
fair trial." but the court said
there was "a strong suspicion that
Krupps application had not been
made in good faith but to put the
tribunal in the utterly false position
of denying him counsel of his
choice"
The court cited a letter from Gen.
Clay to Mr. Carroll, a former cap
tain, early this year directing him
Ito refrain from acting as counsel
beyond five specific cases for which
he was permitted entry into Ger
many. Because there have been no
notifications of this order, the court
said Mr.. Carroll would not be avail
able as counsel.
1T is manifest fact that the
negotiations with Krupp (by CarrolD
are in fragrant defiance of an order
of Gen. Clay" the court added.
Needless to say the tribunal will
not countenance such conduct. In
our considered opinion he has dis
qualified himself to appear before
| this tribunal which uon't lend jtS
aid to handicap the military gov
ernor in discharging his grave re-
sponsibilities.

Stock Market Uneven;
Some Oils and Special
Issues Advance
BY Victor Eubonk
Asseeiafsd Press Financial Write,

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Selective
progress was achieved in today's
stock market. with some oils and
special issues doing we'll, but numer-
GUS leaders continued to seek lower
levels.
Slowdowns were frequent after a
fairly active opening. Mild irregu-
larity was the rule near the fourth
hour.
Adjustment of accounts for the
weekend, together with further de-
layed tax selling, served as a handi-
cap. Professionals bought here and
there on the hope late December
rally would be inspired by re-invest-
ment demand. Skeptics regarding
anti-inf1ation legislation and foreign
affairs trimmed accounts.
