|Dennet, Sedition Case
Figure, Says Curran
Violated Constitution

Prescott bennett, defendant in
the dismissed sedition case, today
opposed before a Senate Subcom-
mittee the nomination of Edward
M. Curran to be Associate Justice of
District Court here because of his
role as United States Attorney in the
case.
Mr.. Dennett's testimony before
the Judiciary Subcommittee was
challenged by Senator McGrath,
Democrat, of Rhode Island, former
Solicitor General.
The Senator reported: Il don't
think you said anything. here to
indicate Mr.. Curran did not live
I'D to the Constitution.
Several other witnesses appeared
before the subcommittee to testify
against Mr.. Curran, who already is
serving on the bench under recess
appointment.
Bar Delegation Supports Curran.
Appearing to defend and support
Judge Curran was large delegation
of leaders TO the District Bar Asso-
citation which has approved him
officially for his new post.
Mr.. bennett complained that
Judge Curran as United States
attorney repeatedly violated our
Constitution and his oath OF office
in gravely material respects"
Mr.. bennett said there were
"rumors" that the big sedition trial
might be appealed.
Are you still defendant" asked
Senator McGrath.
Second Case Brought Up.
$50 far as T know, the case was
dismissed" responded Mr.. bennett,
"but there are rumors of appeal"
The case of a patient at st. Eliza
beUh's Hospital who died from in
juries was brought into the hearing
by Samuel Friedman, director of
the American Equity Association OF
this city. He complained that as
United States attorney, Mr.. Curran
had been responsible for dismissing
the case in which three attendants
had been indicted for manslaughter.
The patient in the case was Seaman
Clark j. Leeper.
Among the delegation which ap-
peared to support Judge Curran
were Austin Garfield, president of
the Bar Association, and several
past presidents. including Paul B.
Cromelin, Godfrey L. Munter,
Julius T. Peyser, John Lewis Smith,
Hugh, H. Obear, John Carmody,
Henry I. Quinn, Leo Rover and
Milton King.
Peter N. Chumbris, general coun-

Wiley Sees Truman. Asks
Republican on Claims Court

Chairman Wiley Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, who recently
charged that the Federal Court sys-
tenn had been packed with Demo-
Gratis, called at the White House
yesterday and urged President Tru-
man to appoint a Republican to the
vacancy on the Court of Claims cre-
ated by the retirement of Chief
Justice Richard S. Whaley.
Senator Wiley said he informed
the President that the other mem-
bers of the court, four in number,
are Democrats and that the coun-
try would welcome a Republican
appointment.
Senator Wiley said he and the
President agreed, I think, that
there should be fair proportion Of
Republicans" on all Federal Courts.
He also said I'VE agreed fully that
there was need to make sure that
judicial appointments and others
be thoroughly screened"
Senator Wiley said he felt that
courts should be bipartisan as far
as possible to conform to the "sys-
tenn of checks and balances" con-
templated by the Constitution.

ment reorganization. This may give
rise to contest with the Armed
Services Committee when bill is
introduced to carry out the plan.
Republican leaders breathed
easier today after defeating Demo-
cratic efforts to end the special war
investigating group late yesterday
Under the guidance of Minority
Leader Barley and Senator Tyd-
ings of Maryland, the Democrats
came within two votes of turning
the study of war contracts over to
the Expenditures Committee.
Victory for Brewster.
After beating off this Democratic
substitute, Al to As, the Republi-
cans put through the resolution tc
continue the War Investigating
Committee by the more comfortable
margin of 49 to 43. The result was
victory for Senator Brewster, Re-
publican, of Maine, who heads the
committee.
Interest in the decision reached a
high pitch because it was the first
test of the ability of the new Re-
publican leaders to control the
Senate.
They almost lost, because on the
decisive Tydings' substitute four Re-
pubhcans jumped to the Democratic
side, while only one Democrat
switched.
During the long debate Democrats
did not oppose turning a searchlight
on war contracts, but contended the
Republicans were multiplying the
Congressional Reorganization Ac'
by continuing special committees.
The Republicans insisted the spe-
cial committee, over which Presi-
dent Truman presided when he wa:
a Senator, is better equipped tt
complete the job it started. They
denied that Congress intended tt

mittee indicated the majority will

cial groups.
Rules Amendment Offered.
In fact, the Ohioan introduced an
amendment to the rules yesterday,
under which future resolutions for
special committees will have to get
the Endorsement of the regular COM
mittee having jurisdiction of the
subject matter. Adoption of such
rule would mean,'in effect, that
no special committee would be set
up, except when the regular COM
mittee in the same field did not
want to take on the assignment.

means TO place their Governor II
the State capitol"
Mr.. Talmadge asserted the Atlanta
Journal, published by former Gov
James M. Cox of Ohio, was the
chief harbinger of opposition views
in Georgia, added: "The people OF
Georgia do not want a Jim Cox
governor forced upon them in this
State. The will of the people in
Georgia will prevail" He accused
the opposition of trying to create
chaos" and to prevent orderly func-
tions of government and charged
the opposition with desiring IAN
archy in Georgia.
He concluded: 'They are afraid
to face us at the polls. They have
declined our challenge. Let us meet
the issues head-on once again and
let Georgians know that Georgia is
and will remain a white mans
State"
Editor Wright Bryan of the
Journal commented: THE Journals
only connection with mass meetings
has been to report them. That it
will continue to do
Thompson hackers hailed legis-
lative actions in both houses yester-
day as indicative of waning Tai
madge hold on the body which last
week named him Governor.
Objection to Showing"
The House, baking at what some
members termed being showed
around" showed such opposition to
immediate consideration of white
primary bill that Mr.. Talmadge's
floor leaders themselves proposed
that it lay over until Mondays
session.
The Senate by a tie-vote in effect
refused to accept move by Tai
madge adherents to expunge its
journal showing that Mr.. Thomp-
son took an oath before it Monday
as chief executive. Later, it recessed
an executive session without taking
action on a sealed message from Mr..
Talmadge, the usual form for trans
mitting executive appointments.
Attorney General Eugene Cook,
who has recognized Mr.. Thompson
as the States executive, suggested
how Mr.. Talmadge could obtain a
quick court decision on the whole
gubernatorial question. Mr.. Cook
said Mr.. Talmadge could bring the
matter before the Supreme Court in
20 days by instructing his appointee
to a solicitor generalship to bring
custer proceedings against rival
claimant appointed by Former Gov.
Ellis Arnall.
Months May Elapse.
IT am informed by the press that
Mr.. Cook does not represent me"
was Mr.. Talmadge's only comment
to the suggestion. Mr.. Talmadge
already has been named defendant
in a suit brought by Mr.. Arnall
and taken over by Mr.. Thompson
for a declaratory judgment in con-
troversy with hearing set for Febru-
ary 7. Several months may elapse
under normal court procedures,
however, before this might be de-
cided by the Supreme Court.
Part of the outspoken opposition
to having the House call up the
white primary bill for debate today
came from legislators who had
voted for Mr.. Talmadge as Governor.
The bill. endorsed by both Mr..
Talmadge and MIR, Thompson and
plank in the Democratic platform,
would divorce the primary from
State control and leave it to the
party to determine qualifications of
voters.
