US. Supreme
Court Denies
Appeal

WASHINGTON DC. (NNPA-
The United States Supreme Court
last Monday denied the motion OF
the eleven top Communist leaders
for a postponement of the oral
argument of the appeal from their
conviction.
They were found guilty in the
Federal District Court in New
Yor City of violating the Smith
Act of 1910 in that, from April 1,
1945, to July 20, 194S, they un-
lawfully conspired to willfully
teach and advocate the overthrow
of the Federal Government by
force and violence.
The Supreme Court has agreed
to review the judgment of the
United States Second Circuit Court
of Appeals affirming their con-
viction but to limit the review to
the question of the constitution
ality of the Smith Act.
At the same time it denied the
motion for postponement, 1t
granted the Communists motion
for a member of the English Bar
to participate in the oral argu-
ment.
The Communists had asked the
court to permit D. N. Pritt, law
yer of London, England, not a
member of the Supreme Court bar
to participate in the argument
on their behalf.
They claimed that twenty-four
leaders of the American bar had
declined to associate themselves
as counsel for the Communists,
although several of them had ex-
pressed the opinion that the Smith
Act was unconstitutional and that
the conviction of the Communists
should be reversed.
Some of these lawyers declined,
the Communists said, because of
existing hysteria and for fear that
their professional standing and
practice might be injured.
According to the convicted Com
munists, Pritt is willing to par
ticipate in the argument if the
hearing date is postponed to jan
uary %, or later, so that he will
have time to come to this country
and prepare for the argument. He
was said to have a court engage
ment in India at the end of De-
cember or early in January.
Benjamin ]. Davis, Jr., former
member of the New York City
Council, and Eugene Dennis, who
have been acting as their own at
torneys, told the court that they
wished to retain Mr.. Pritt as their
counsel.

In the suit the plaintiffs con-
tended that colored students rid
ing by bus to Christianburg were
forced to travel a longer time
than were white students attend
ing three high schools within Pull
aski County.
Judge Barksdale- had ruled in
May, 1949, that there was no dis
elimination in Pulaski's public
school facilities. In November,
however, the United States Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals reversed
his decision, ruling that racial dis
elimination existed in travel, cur
riculum, industrial art shops, sci
ence laboratories, gymnasiums,
and courses offered in summer
school.
Armistead L. Boothe, of Alex
andrea, Virginia, attorney for the

students fully equal opportunities

Labor Party Left Wing
In Britain Campaigns
For National Election
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The left
wing of the Labor Party began
campaigning out loud today for
a new national election within
the next few weeks.
The Socialist weekly Tribune
called on rank-and-f1le Laborites
to rebel against Prime Minister
Attlee and support this course at
the annual party conference start
ing October at Margate.
The Tribune reflects the views
of Health Minister Aneurin Bevan
and his strong following in the
party. His wife, Jennie Lee. is
member of its editorial board.
The demand for a quick cleo
ton brought into the open split
in Mr.. Attlee's cabinet. Mr.. Att1ee
is known to favor postponing the
appeal to the voters, perhaps un-
til next February.
The Labor government now has
paper majority of only seven
votes in the House of Commons.
The Tribune, in its issue which
hit the news stands today, in
sisted:
There is only one decisive way
in which the deadlock can be
broken. That is by a new appeal
to the polls"
The weekly declared that in a
new election ''it might be perfectly
possible to secure a majority of
some 60 or TO-" It added:
THAT prize, if it could be gained,
could alter the whole situation at
home and abroad"
In his attempt to get a new test
at the polls, Mr.. Bevan is working
the same side of the street as
Conservative Leader Winston
Churchill-for wholly different
reasons.
Mr.. Churchill wants an election
because he thinks it would bring
the Conservatives to power.

Upper Potomac Group

OAKLAND. Md, Sept. o.
Members of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin sat down with local leaders
here today to work out practical
measures to relieve pollution in
the upper Potomac River area.
The discussion opened the COM
missions annual meeting, held
this year in the headwaters area
of the Potomac.
Participating in the discussion
are Thomas s. Post, mayor of
Cumberland; DR.. w. e. Moseley,
chairman of the Allegheny Met
ropolitan Commission; w. A.

Givens, jr., plant manager, Gel
anese Corp: John r. Connolly,
chief engineer. Kelly-Springf1eld
Tire Co., and Owen Hitchins, of
the Upper Potomac River Com
mission.
Directing the discussions is
Oliver Gasch, assistant corpora
ton counsel in Washington and
counsel for the commission.
Long River Problem Area.
The upper Potomac River-that
stretch from Cumberland up
stream to Luke-long has been
a problem area.
Mining and heavy industrial de-
velopment, coupled with low water
flow in summer months, has made
the stream little more than an
open sewer.
Adding to these conditions is
raw sewage from many towns and
cities in the area. Cumberland,
second largest city in Maryland,
does not treat its sewage, although
plans are under preparation for
treatment facilities.
1t has been estimated by sani-
tary engineers that. even with
additional industrial and NUM-
cipal treatment facilities, the up
per river still will remain a prob

increase stream flow.
Completion of the Savage River
dam, now nearly finished, is ex-
pected to aid in providing more
CONSTANT summer stream flow,
but technicians believe this alone
will not be sufficient to solve the
problem.
Before returning home tomor-
row, commission members will

burg, has backed the commission
in many of its abatement efforts.
Recently he sponsored a resolution
in the House calling for a new

Kerr Bill Defended
HI. M.
-

I wish to commend The Star for its
fair comments on a subject that here
tofore has received brutal and unwar-
ranted treatment in the columns Of most
Of the Nations metropolitan press. I
refer to the Kerr amendment to the Ma
tural Gas Act Of 1898. rra
What the press feared most by
enactment of this bill will most certainly
come about as the result of its veto.
Here's why:
Authors of the natural gas act. in
1888, specifically stated in the record
that gas producers not engaged in sales
in interstate commerce would not be sub
ject to Federal regulation. Cases involv-
ing the sale of gas acreage to interstate
pipelines and concerning the status Of
gas wells owned by these transporters
brought Supreme Court decisions that
caused complete confusion.
The final decision of the Court was
interpreted by the Federal Power Com
mission as denying it power over inde-
pendent producers, so an order was
adopted by the commission giving this
assurance to producers not engaged in
interstate commerce. This order of the
commission Is still in effect. and Is the

Bulgars or their fellow vassals; it is policy
laid down by the men of the Kremln for some
dark purposes of their own, perhaps to cut
off every bit of contact between the free world
and the oppressed or to cover up whatever
new aggressive moves they may be planning
behind the Iron Curtain.
Whatever the reason for it, however there
can be little doubt that this policy. if it con-
tinues, if it grows worse, will eventually force
us to ask ourselves whether we can avoid a
complete break with the Soviet Union itself.
Certainly, when one considers such things as
events in Czechoslovakia and incidents like the
inhumane attack on our Navy plane in the
Baltic, it is difficult not to suspect that the
Kremlin, with malice aforethought, is doing its
best to make the gulf unbridgeable between itself
and us. The outlook for friendship could hardly
seem bleaket.
Evening star., 1950-04-23
Behind it All Is Moscow

The pattern of events in Czechoslovakla
comes close to being carbon copy of what
finally led us last February to sever all dplo-
matte relations with Bulgaria. The Communist
puppets at Prague have not yet demanded that
we recall our Ambassador, but in the words OF
one of our Embassy spokesmen, "they are really
turning on the heat against us now" In short,
step by step, with obvious deliberateness, they
are worsening their past bad behavior toward us
in a. manner that seems definitely calculated to
drive uS-as a Self-reSpecting Naton-nto
complete break with them, and not merely the
retaliatory closing of their consular offices in
Chicago
Thus besides ordering the expulsion of the
director of the United States Information Serv-
ice, they have demanded that we put an imme-
date end to all our USIS activities, on the
ground that both the director and the service
itself have been using Czech nationals for
espionage purposes and as spreaders OF propa-
ganda hostile to the Prague regime. Stimuli
taneously, our EmbaSSy-aS was the case last
October, but to lesser extent-has once again
been accused of running huge "Spy ring" and
six citizens of Czechoslovakia have just been
tried" for being members, two of them receiving
sentences of death. In addition, 2O-year -old
American student is reported to have been SEN
fenced to 18 years in prison after having been
tried" along with Is CzechS, on charges of
spying
All this has been accompanied by a new
outpouring of anti-American propaganda. OF
course such propaganda has been fairly common
in Czechoslovakia ever since the Communist coup
two years ago, but now it has become particu-
larly viruent with our Embassy apparently the
chief target The situation is so reminiscent OF
events in Bulgaria that we may reasonably
anticipate series of additional acts directed
against our representatives in flagrant violation
of all the accepted standards OF decent inter-
national intercourse. In the circumstances, no
American should be surprised If one of these
days there is full break in our diplomatic
relations with Prague. Nor should any one be
surprised if much the same thing happens later
on in such places as Hungary, Romania and
Poland.
For there is every reason to feel that in
CzechoSlovakia-as earlier in Bulgaria. sys-
tematic effort is being carried out to make it
virtually impossible for us to maintain normal
relations. There is every reason to feel, too,
that the same sort of thing is likely to develop
in due course among the other satellite coun-
tries. Just why this is so, just why these puppet
regimes are going out of their way to ALLEVIATE
themselves from us, is not clear. The only thing
we can be sure of is that Moscow is behind the
whole ugly business After all, the pohcy1i1-
h volved is not really that of the Czechs or the

The Firing Of Miss Weyond

The firing of Ruth Weyand by Robert
N. Denham, General Counsel, NLRB,
and the reason set forth by him for his
action, tell rather clearly Mr.. Denhams
views on subject as old as the hills.
While do not necessarily condone
miscegenation, still cannot go so far
as to believe that it in any way detracts
from the ability of the parties involved.
Mr.. Denham takes the position that the
litigation in which Miss Weyand is now
involved has impaired her usefulness
before the courts. Such q position does
not in any way spell credit to the
courts or the various judicial officers
before whom she could have appeared.
Is he trying to say that those entrusted
with the burden Of solving judicial prob
lens will be so narrow that they will
look upon the pleader, consider her per-
sonal life, and from this consideration
offer up judicial opinion?
I doubt this would be the case. Just
what does the gentleman mean? The
courts which have been insulted should
cry aloud. If Mr.. Denham no longer
wishes the services of lawyer who has
long since established a record of credit,
he should look down in his bag and get
another excuse.

primary reason why gas production has
expanded and why this cheapest of all
fuels has steadily decreased In price the
past IL years.
During the 80th Congress. the FPC
unanimously asked Congress to pass
legislation preventing control over this
type OF producer. They were joined by
President Truman, and the Priest bill
was drawn and passed the House. Later
that session, the Moore Ridley bill passed
the House. The Harris bill was readily
adopted In this Congress. and it was
made far less Objectionable when the
Senate adopted the Kerr substitute
amendment which afforded consumers
more protection.
Meanwhile. irate pipeline companies
and labor and coal groups had convinced
Commissioner Leland Olds that he should
regulate this segment of the industry.
MIR. Olds gave notice that he would as
sumo control of Independents unless
Congress forbade him. That is simply
what the Kerr bill did.
Now, however, failure to enact the bill
into law will virtually assure tremendous
rate raises to American consumers of
gas, Probably all contracts of major in
dependents specifically state that in the
event of any Federal control over their
operations, their 20 or 30-year contracts
with pipelines will become instantly
nullifed.
1t Is certain that thousands Of con-
tracts will be cancelled in a matter of
weeks, and gas that normally would
enter pipelines will now be converted
into liquid gas or processed into carbon
black or fertilizer. This can only mean
much less gas at much higher prices.
Newspaper and radio comment not
only implied but declared that this was
vicious, special-interest. bill In real
ity, the legislation changed nothing that
now is or has ever been in effect. 1t de-
stroyed no power of the Federal Govern
ment to regulate for consumer protec-
ton. 1t merely assured independence to
traditionally independent and hazard
GUS industry whose total sales of natural
gas in interstate commerce last year was
mere $40 millions.
The Kerr bill would have brought
more gas at less cost to American con-
sumers, and the Nation and its press will
learn this as fact when leaders who op-
posed 1t beg and plead for its adoption in
few weeks.
