Court Backs Fay
On Requesfsfor
honeRemovaI
U. S. Attorney Upheld
On Appeal but Miller
Still Has Service

The United States Attorneys
right to request discontinuance o,
telephone service reportedly uset
in gambling law violations toda.
was upheld by the United State'
Court, of Appeals.
The appellate court took thi
view in reversing a District Cour
Injunction granted Nathan Miller
Of Avondale, Md, against Unites
States Attorney George Morri
Fay.
In the same 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 ha!
his service.
1t was largely because subscrib.
er Miller had recourse to enjoir
the telephone company itself that
the appellate court ruled out Mr.
Fay's Office as am 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 MIR. 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
pany had complied with a March
IS, 1949, discontinuance request
from Mr.. Fay. who said he had
competent evidence" that the
telephone listed to MIR. Miller was
being used to "aid and abet" Dis
trict gambling law violations.
The court recognized that such
o request lies within the United
States Attorneys broad discre-
tionary powers ito protect the
public from crime" and that Mr..
Fay's specific request in this case
was proper"
Some Removals Made.
The court observed that Mr..
Miller's only complaint in his in
junction suit was that the attor-
ney's Office had insufficient evi-
dence to justify his request to the
phone company.
Since there is neither allega-
tion nor proof that appellant
(Fay) acted outside the bounds
permitted him by the Constitu-
ton, statute or common law, the
only charge being that they acted
incorrectly, his action is that of
the United States and may not be
enjoined." Judge Bazelon declared.
Mr.. Fay's Office made a total Of
S26 phone removal requests to the
telephone company last year as a
result Of his anti-gambling drive
In the Metropolitan area. Some
removals were effected without
contest by the subscribers while
other removal requests ultimately
were dropped either voluntarily or
after District Court action by Mr..

self historical over the United Ma
lions participation in the Korean
var and she thought that that was
20 wonderful that the United Ma
lions flag should fly over our
schools. So a little movement
started. And, in due course, in
stead of our children pledging al
legiance to the flag of the United
states of America they would pledge
allegiance to So or go or 100 ma
lions.
And when little movement
starts, some little fellow or two
get themselves appointed secretary
and press agent and before you
know it, they collect funds and pro-
mote a campaign and smear the
opposition. Then it becomes a big
movement. The precise moment to
step on this is now, when the
little movement amounts to nothing.
After all, precisely what has been
the contribution of the United Ma
tions in the Korean war? What
manpower did the United Nations
or its members other than the
United States contribute? What
wealth. what ornaments; what
equipment did they provide? What
mastery generalship did they pro-
duce?
True, it would be a wonderful
achievement of international solid
arity. if, during the dark weeks be-
lore Inchon. all the member-nations
sent their contingents to safeguard
brother-nation from attack. Few
of them sent contingents; fewer
stu arrived. Some are still afloat.
This has been essentially an AM
erican war, fought principally by
Americans, led by a great Amer
lean commander. This is the act
ual record of the fighting war.
