U. 5. Opposes Appeal
by Meyers for Bond

The Government yesterday op-
posed the application of Maj. Gen.
Bennett E. Meyers in the United
States Coart of Appeals for release
on bond, pending appeal of his Dis
tricC Court conviction on suborna-
ton of perjury charges.
Meyers was sentenced by Justice
Alexander Holtzoff, last Tuesday to
serve 20 months to years in prison,
and was taken from District Court
to Jail.
In their brief opposing Myers re-
lease, United States Attorney George
Morris Fay and his assistants, John
w. Fihelly. Edward Molenof and
Sidney S. Sachs, contended there
is no substantial question of law
involved.
The retired Army Air Forces off,
Ger was convicted on charges of in
ducing Bleriot H. Lamarre, wartime
president of the Aviation Electric
Co. OF Dayton, Ohio. to lie to a
Senate War Investigating Subcom-
mittee last fall. Lamarre admitted
ne testified falsly in saying Meyers
neither owned no profited from the
concern.
The Government brief said that,
while Meyers argues the evidence did
not establish that Lamarre COM
mitted the perjury before the sub
committee, there was 'overwhelming
evidence" that it was committed,
aside from the fact that Lamarre
pleaded guilty to the indictment.
Meyers affidavit of prejudice
against the trial Judge was plainly
insufficient, the brief asserted, con-

Newark Employers
Testify al Hearing
In Printers Dispute
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-A dispute
between employers and commercial
printers in the Newark area was
described yesterday at hearing be-
fore Trial Examiner Howard Mey-
ers of the National Labor Relations
Board.
Hearing began in a case in which
Newark Local 103 of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, AFL, is
charged with refusing to bargain
collectively for a new contract.
In a separate action in the case
against the ITU. Federal Judge Har-
old r. Medina ruled yesterday that
NLRB examiners have power to rule
on motions to revoke subpoenas.
The decision was made in a suit
brought by Charles H. Douds, NLRB
regional director. for an order en-
forcing subpoenas against the ITU
and its president, Woodruff Ran
dolph. The subpoenas instructed
them to produce union records in
the proceeding before Mr.. Meyers.
Meyers Power Challeged.
At hearing some weeks ago,
Mr.. Randolph challenged Mr..
Meyers power to determine a union
motion to quash the subpoenas.
Gustave c. Wolber, chairman OF
the Union Shop Committee of the
Master Printers Association of
Newark and vicinity, testified for
the employers at the NLRB hearing
yesterday.
He said that at no time during
six conferences with local union
printers did they say they would
sign contract which would be in
accord with our idea of the law"
Mr.. Wolber said Albert Ramsdale,
chairman of the Union Negotiating
Committee. suggested that I'VE go
along as we have before without a
written contract"
Union Literature Offered.
Since two-year contract expired
last December 81, the witness said,
the printers have been working
under conditions of employment"
posted in the shops.
The examiner also heard several
other employers witnesses testify
about meetings with Newark union
officials. Union literature describ-
ing tactics to be used under the
Taft-Harley law was presented to
the examiner.
No union Official attended the ses-
sion. The hearing was adjourned
until March 81, when union testi-
mony is scheduled.
The New Jersey case has beer
consolidated with similar NLRB
cases in other cities, in which print
ers are accused of refusing to bar
gain for contracts legal under the
Taft-Hartley law
Mr.. Meyers said hearing on the
st. Louis phase OF the case Is
scheduled for there on Thursday.

UPHOLDS LOWER
COURT DECISIONS

Springfield, Ill. - A scant
one per cent of Illinois prison
ers' petitions to the United
States Supreme Court the past
four years have been accept
ed by that court for hearing,
and of the one per cent, no
prisoner has been given an
absolute discharge by the high
court, a report by Attorney
General George F. Barrett dis
closed.
Two prisoners, both paupers,
did obtain orders for further
proceedings in state courts at
Barrett's own request after
his study of the records reveal
ed that they were clearly en-
titled to further investigation
in Illinois courts.
Barrett's report, covering
the years 1944-47, revealed
that FOL petitions were filed
with the Supreme Court by
Illinois prisoners. The vast ma
jority of the petitions sought
writs of certiorari or habeas
corpus. Of the 701, the Su-
preme Court summarily dis
missed all but eight without
hearing. Of the eight petitions
which the court heard, five
were denied, one case is still
pending, and the other two
granted the prisoners further
hearing at Barrett's request.
In releasing the figures, At
torney General Barrett COM
mented only that "the record
seems to demonstrate princi-
pally that the convicts in Hi
nois are more articulate and
more Writ-conscious than the
convicts of any other state"
