Clark Denies Politics
In Red Deportations
By the Associufed Press

WILMINGTON, Del, Mar. 49,
Attorney General Clark said tonight
his drive to get alien Communists
out Of the country is in no way
political.
His assertion was in an address
before the Delaware Bar Associa-
ton. It was reply to some groups
which have described aliens ar.
rested for deportation as Commu4
nists as political prisoners.
The Civil Rights Congress formed
protest picket line in front of the
Justice Department building in
Washington O week ago. Some of
the pamphlets passed out to pass
ers-by contended the arrests reflect
ed administration alarm over "the
Wallace movement"
Neither I nor any other official
OF our Government has any right
or inclination to imprison or to
penalize any one merely because Of
his political beliefs or to deprive
him in any way of full opportunity
to defend himself" Mr.. Clark said.
Such practices may be common.

they have no place in . free
America"
The Attorney General said the 30
odd recent deportation arrests are
"a legitimate device for self-preser-
vation that has no relationship to
the freedom of expression which
all of us will defend.
The freedom we allow to the
guests In our house does not mean
we will continue to tolerate them
after they are discovered in the act
OF planting dynamite for the pur-
pose OF blowing us to bits" Mr.. Clark
said.

Justice Laws to Seek Authority
For AIimony Payment via Court

Chief Justice BolithA ]. Laws Of
District Court plans to seek leg
islation which will revive alimony
payment procedure here so that
divorced husbands will make their
payments through court officers IN
stead Of directly to the wives.
This was revealed yesterday by
Justice Laws who said he hopes
this procedure will cut to nothing

cases District Court must handle
Delinquent cases are costly and
involved" Chief Justice Laws said
When . husband fails to make his
regular prescribed payment, we
must 80 through the procedure OF
citing him for contemp Of the all
mony ruling"
To avoid the red-tape involved In
the practice-and on the theory
that husbands would be slower to
hold out on District Court than they
would be on their wives-Justice
Laws hopes Congress eventually will
authorize the change.

missioner Philip Hamilton. His
Office studies the financial situa-
ton of husband and wife and re-
ports to the court on the husbands S
ability to pay.
Pending a final disposition of the
divorce or separation case involved,
the court makes use Of the report
to decide the payment amounts.
When husbands become delin-
quent, they are--in extreme cases
jailed for contempt. They may,
however. purge themselves of the
contempt and effect their release
by promptly paying up. But all
this takes time.
AS Chief Justice Laws sees the
proposed new system, alimony- pay
ing husbands would receive monthly
bills from the court for the amount
due He then would be directly
responsible to the court for his
alimony and could be dealt with
promptly If he became delinquent.
The court would make the payments
to the wives.

First in II Years for Spain

the people voted only in refer

The decision to hold the long
expected municipal elections came
only six days after Gen. Frances
meeting at sea with Don Juan, pre-
tender to the Spanish throne, in
which it was arranged for Prince
Juan Carlos, the pretender's 10
year-old heir, to come to Spain to
begin his formal education next
month.

Observers here consider that
Gen. Frances meeting with Don
Juan and the call for municipal
elections may react favorably for
Spain at the United Nations As
sembly in Paris this month.
There is a general belief here that
there will be q strong movement
especially among the Latin Ameri-
can states, to repeal previous U. N
action against Spain. Such repeal
would mean the immediate return OF
chiefs of diplomatic missions re-
called under the 1916 U. N. res

day that beginning in October, the

pay. They contended they spent a
great deal more time at their jobs
than other teachers do.
