BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Gilbert

man. testified at the Red conspir-
acy trial yesterday that he never
had called socialism "the only So
luton for tho problem Of Ameri-
can workers"
A prosecution witness, william
Cummings Of Toledo. Ohio. q

mobile Workers, had testified that

Communist Party school In De-
cember, 1945.

mist leaders charged with conspir-
acy to advocate forcible overthrow

Real Estate

the contrary there was evidence to
the effect that before the board
started fixing brokerage commits
sions there was chaos and con-
fusion in the real estate field due
to the activities Of the "less scru-
pulous" real estate dealers.
The Judge concluded that since
there was no showing, cor even
contention, that the commission
fixing practice adversely affected
the real estate business here. he
would have to rule in favor Of the
defendants.
Arguments In the case by op-
posing attorneys were concluded
yesterday afternoon. At one point
they turned on whether the Sher-
man Antitrust Act applied to
charges made for purely personal
services as well as for commod-
tiles.
I'VE have had the Sherman Law
for more than half a century and
I cannot find any prosecution for
fixing the compensation Of per-
sonal services" William E. Lea1y,
attorney for the Washington
Board. declared.
The case was filed by the Gov
ernment in September. 1947, at
the same time criminal indict-
ments were returned against the
national and local boards. The
criminal case went to trial a year
ago, bat Judge Edward M. Curran
directed a Judgment Of acquittal
after the evidence had been SUBJ
mitted.
The defendants in the civil case
then contended the issues there
had been decided in the criminal
case, but Judge T. Alan Colds

War Criminal Cases
To Be Appealed After
Douglas Opinion
D. tAs Assosie,sd pfsss

International war criminals
seeking freedom from American
Imprisonment today charted a new
course toward American civil
courts, along q route marked ou'
BY a Supreme Court justice.
Attorneys for Japanese servins
prison terms for war crimes said
they probably will seek American
court action as result OF an
opinion handed down yesterday by
Justice Douglas.
Justice Douglas views dealt with
o case the Supreme Court disposed
of six months ago in what he
now calls . potentially danger

one he agreed with.
In that ruling, the court held
that it had no power to hear the

Justice Douglas said he hash I
changed his mind about that. al
though 1t troubles him because
1T leaves no room for judicial
scrutiny Of this new type Of mill
tary tribunal which is evolving. II
Then he added what was vir-
tually an invitation to American
held war crimes prisoners to try
for q new court test.
Despite the high courts lack OF
authority In cases tried by inter
national tribunals. Justice Douglas
said. persons convicted by such
tribunals have . right TO ask
American lower courts to decide
whether they are being legally

Production Rate Drops
1887 in 6 Months 10
Lowest Pace Since 'R
By the A,soe;otsd Press

The Nations production ma
chine has throttled down to its
slackest pace in three years and
no end to the showdown has yet
been sighted.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported a 1913 per cent fall in pro-
duction from last November's peak
to the end Of May. The board said
another 2 to 3 per cent drop Is
indicated for June.
Production Is coming down with
prices, and accompanying factory
closings or slowdowns are boosting
unemployment in the process.
The Reserve Boards report
yesterday said output in May re-
mained "a per cent above the
average for 1869. But 1t was
nearly 8 per cent under April and
more than 8 per cent below May,
1948.
Sawyer, Wallace Debate.
Meanwhile. there was no agree
ment over just how serious the
Nations economic situation is,
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
and q man who once held that
cabinet post, Henry Wallace. dis
.puted the point IN . radio deuats
last night.
Mr.. Sawyer insisted we are still
in an era Of prosperity such as we
have not enjoyed in our history"
despite declining business and in
creasing joblessness.
sMr. Wallace, on the other hand,
said the country Is in bad shape
economically and President Tru-
man should be doing something
to restore prosperity"
In Boston. National Republican
Chairman Hugh D. Scott. jr.. said
the country is in the first stages
Of a Truman depression" He told
newsmen the Republican Party
will capitalize on the unemploy-
ment situation in next years elec-
ton campaign.
Government economists have
contended the present slackened
business activity Is merely q nor
NAL readjustment from wartime
and postwar scarcity conditions.

Supreme Court Ends
Term After II RULINGS
Wine Calendar Clean

The Supreme Court today was
In recess until October 3 after an
acrimonious nine-month term
which ended yesterday when II
decisions wiped the calendar clean.
At the windup. the court set
new civil rights guideposts and
postponed action on the appeals
of former Representative May.
Democrat. of Kentucky, and Henry
and Murray Carson, wartime mu-
milton makers, sentenced to prison
on conspiracy-bribery charges.
In another case, the court or
dered retired damage suit grow
ing out Of the rape Of a woman
passenger aboard a Government
owned vessel in the Washington-
Norfolk run.
In three Of the civil rights cases
the court reversed murder convic-
tions against three Negroes. two
of whom had been sentenced to
death. In each instance, the tri-
bunal condemned the methods
used to obtain confessions.
South Carolina Case Upset.
In 5-4 decision read by Justice
Frankfurter, the court upset the
conviction Of L. D. Harris, 25-
year-old Negro who was accused
of Staying Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
L. Bennett Of Aiken. 8. c., a white
couple, more than two years ago.
Harris, doomed to die, was held
q long time without arraignment,
the court ruled In holding that
fear and violence prompted his
confession" Justice Jackson,
Chief Justice vinson and Justices
Reed and Burton dissented.
A 6-3 decision. also read by
Justice Frankfurter, set aside the
conviction of Robert A. Watts of
Indianapolis. accused Of tn e
murder of Mary Lois Burney, a
white woman. Chief Justice
Vinson and Justices Reed and
Burton dissented also in this case,
in which Justice Frankfurter
again emphasized the time the ac-
cused was held for questioning
before arraignment. Watts attor-
neys also contended the indict-
ment against him was returned by
grand jury from which Negroes
were excluded.
Ship Held Not Common Carrier.
The retrial ordered in the rape
case involved damage suit awards
of $4,000 made by the Federal
Court in Richmond. The court
had held that the company oper-
ating the ship for the Govern
ment was common carrier. The
high court said 1t was not.
But it said the firm-Dichmann.

suitable crew members.
The cook. Jack Lester Barnes,
crawled through a window to en-
ter the stateroom of Mrs. Lillian
A. Weade and Mrs. Roberta L.
Stinemeyer. He raped Mrs. Weade
and threatened Mrs. Stinemeyer.
The attack occurred on the night
of August 8. 1945. Barnes later
was executed in Maryland for the
attack.
A jury in District Court in Nor
folk awarded Mrs. Weade $50, 900,
her husband $1,000 and Mrs.
Stinemeyer $4,000. The Circuit
Court in Richmond threw out
the awards, however, on the
ground that the general agent was
not liable to passengers. Mr.. and
Mrs. Weade and Mrs. Stinemeyer
then appealed to the Supreme
Court to reinstate the award.
