ALBANY, N. Y. (P)-New York State is out to rid its public school system of any subversive teachers, but is expects a light haul.
 Education commissioner Francis T. Spaluding predicted that "al- most 100 per cent" of the more than 75,5O0 teachers would be found "actively loyal to our form or government"
 Nevertheless, he has ordered To- cal boards of the states 1000 pub lie schools to see that every em- ployee is investigated annually.
 The commissioner acted as a re- suit of law passed this spring by the Republican-contrOlled state legislature to tighten existing bans against subversives in the school system. Benjamin F. Feinberg, then Senate COP leader and a lieutenant of Gov. Thomas E. De- Wey, sponsored the law and said it was aimed at communists.

AXIS SALLY
 CONVICTED
 OF IR|EA5oN

WASHINGTON, March 1l.-tR- Mildred E. tAxis Sally Gillars has been convicted of treason but hel punishment proba ably won't te known for week or more. A mixed jury found her guilty of broadcasting propaganda for the wartime German radio. 1 The jury convicted Miss Gillars of only one of the eight reasonable acts charged to her in connection with her broadcasting. This, how ever, did not alter the range of pos- sible penalties.
 The maximum possible sentence is death in the electric chair; the min- imuin, five years in prison, a $l0,000 fine and loss of her American citi- zenship.
 1 The conviction was based on a radio drama called "Vision of In- vasion."
 In Vision of Invasion" Miss Gil lars played the role Of Zulelyn, an Ohio mother. who dreamed that her son was killed in the invasion. The Germans broadcast 1t four weeks before allied troops landed in Nor mandy.
 The indictment said it was broad cast to American citizens at home and abroad as an element of Ger man propaganda and as an instru- ment of psychological warfare. 1 Even in advance of sentencing Miss Gillars' attorney served notice that he is not through fighting. | His first step, said James J. Laughlin, will be to file motion
 asking Federal Judge Edward M Curran to set aside the verdict and order new trial. Laughlin has five days in which to take this action.
 Miss Gillars, 48, tearfully swore
 from the witness stand that she always loved this country and never intended to betray it.

 Spruce vs. ILWU Suit

Judge George w. Folta today filed an opinion in the case filed by Ju- neau Spruce Corporation against the Local and International Long, shoremen's and Warehousemen's Unions for damages in the amount of s1930oO, in which the court ruled it has jurisdiction to hear such cases in the District Court for the Territory of Alaska.
 The opinion stated that although the local court is not strictly speak ing, District Court of the United States" which is given jurisdiction of such cases under the Labor Man agement Relations Act, it is vested with the jurisdiction of district court of the United States, and be- cause of my conclusion that it was the legislative intent that the act should have a general and uniform application, am constrained to hold that the term district court of the United States as used in the Act, comprehends this court"
 The court said "The Legislative intent rather than its literal i'm port must govern
 In discussing the impossibility of enforcing the Act in Alaska, ii this court had no such jurisdiction, the opinion clearly implies that it is empowered to enforce the orders of the National Labor Relations Board and to issue injunctions to prevent jurisdictional strikes anc secondary hoycotts, pending Boarc determination of any case. w
 The court denied motion te uuash the service of summons or the International union, denied motion to permit it to withdraw certain pleadings and denied two motions which had asked for a rul- ing that the Attorney General o1 the United States be informed that Constitutional questions were in volved in order to permit the Alt torney General to intervene if he SO desired.
 The defendant unions were giver ten days to admit or deny the ale gations of the complaint for dam ages after which time the case car te set for trial.
