The young Fourth Division senator in referring to the Oscar Olson case, was quoted in the Empire as quoting the act ing governor saying: Tt looks like bookkeeping errors-I see nothing criminal here" Even in the po- litical league, an umpire probably would call that one low and inside.

Appeals Court Backs
Fay on His Right 10
Ask Phone Removals
U. S. Attorney Upheld
On Appeal but Miller
Still Has Service

The United States Attorneys
right to request diScontinuance of
telephone service repeatedly used
in gambling law violations today
was upheld by the United States
Court of Appeals.
The appellate court took this
view in reversing a District Court
Injunction granted Nathan Miller,
of Avondale. Md, against United
States Attorney George Morris
Fay.
In a similar District Court case
last year. Judge Alexander Holtz-
off ruled that Mr.. Fay's Office has
such powers. But in that case
the judge held that the Govern
ment had enough evidence to
justify disconnection of the tele-
phone listed to Nola Andrews. This
decision was not appealed.
In the Miller suit, the chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Co
was enjoined from actually re-
moving Mr.. Miller's telephone
from 1923 La Sale road, Avon
dale. Only Mr.. Fay appealed
however Consequently the in
junction against the company still
stands, and Mr.. Miller still has
his service.
It was largely because subscrib-
er Miller had recourse to enjoin
the telephone company itself that
the appellate court ruled out Mr..
Fay's office as an object of suit in
the case.
Fay's Request Held Proper.
Associate Judge David Bazelon,
speaking for a unanimous bench,
pointed out that this was not a
situation where an injunction suit
against Mr.. Fay was the only
available remedy against official
action which deprived a person of
substantial rights
In a second reversal point,
Judge Bazelon noted that the COM

Now it's Russia's turn to put up

II the Soviets don't put up,
then 1t should be q very short war.
If they do, that's the beginning of
World War III.
At least that's the way it looks
from this muddy. bustling South
Korean city where American SOL
diers are gathering to drive back
the Communist invaders from the
North.
If the Russians don't come to
the assistance of their North
Korean comrades it is inconceiv-
able that the North Koreans will
last more than a few weeks or
days against the combined air,
ground and naval strength of the
United States.
In fact, the whole idea Of North
Korea waging war against the
United States Is preposterous. 1t
is almost as though the northern
half of Florida were to war on the
Federal government.
North Korea has an army OF
perhaps 10000 men equipped with
weapons that by today's stand
