Plea for Israeli Aid

bly, Of the Council of Jewish Fed

Red Leaders Appeal
To Be Argued Today
Before Supreme Court
By Robert K. Walsh

American Communist Party
leaders and the Justice Depart
ment that wants to jail them for
conspiracy to teach violent over
throw of the Government come
to grips in arguments before the
Supreme Court today.
The court has allotted each
side two hours. after the handing
down of other opinions at noon.
The debate will center on con-
stitutionality of the Smith Act
of 1910 under which the II Red
leaders were convicted in Federal
Court in New York year ago.
Justice Clark. former Attorney
General. has disqualified himself
In the case.
Final decision might not come
for several months. The II men
were fined $4,000 each and SEN
fenced to terms ranging from
three to five years. All except
Eugene Dennis. party secretary
serving a year sentence for con-
tempt of Congress, are free on
bail Justice Jackson last Sep
tenber 26 ordered them freed
pending outcome of the appeal.
Constitutional Issue.
In their appeal, which the
Supreme Court last October %
agreed to hear. the Communists
contended that the Smith Act
violates constitutional amend
ments protecting free speech, press
and assembly and due process of
law.
Last Monday the high court re-
fused to postpone the scheduled
start of oral arguments until late
in, January. The Communist
leaders had asked permission to
enlist the aid of D. N. Pritt. a
left-wing British lawyer. The
court granted permission but
would not postpone arguments to
begin today. Mr.. Pritt had a
prior legal engagement in India
and sent word he could not be
here at this time.
Arguments will be opened by
three of the six defense lawyers
who took part in the New York
trial. Attorney General McGrath
had indicated he would lead off
the Government argument which
would be detailed by Solicitor
General Philip B. Perlman. Mr..
McGrath, however, was called to
Rhode Island because of a traffic
accident in which a business as
sociate was killed, and might not
be able to return today.
Lawyers Also Appealing.
Tre Communist leaders attor-
neys are Harry Sacher of New
York. George w. Crockett. jr.. Of
Detroit, and Abraham j. Isserman
of Newark, N. j. They were among
the six defense lawyers held in
contempt by Judge Medina be-
cause Of their conduct during the
trial They were given jail SEN
tenees following the trial.
All six filed separate appeals
asking the Supreme Court to
throw . out the sentences. The
Supreme Court has not yet said
whether it would review those
cases.
Mr.. Sacher was sentenced to six
months, and Mr.. Crockett and Mr..
IsserTnari to four months each.
Besides Eugene Dennis. the
Communist leaders whose case is
being heard by the Supreme Court
are John B. Williamson, Jacob
Stachel, Robert G. Thompson,
Benjamin ]. Davis, jr., Henry VIM
ston, John Gates, Irving Potash,
Gilbert Green, Carl Winter and
Gus Hall. Thompson, war vet
eran, got the three year sentence.
The others got five years each.

Four of 10 passengers aboard a

Army Delays Calling
Medical Draft Doctors

None Of the physicians or den-
lists accepting reserve commits
sions under the medical draft law
are likely to be called into uni
form for several weeks, officials
reported today.
One factor in the delay is alb
sence of an active duty quota for
the I'd Army area. which includes
the District.
Col. Harold G. Glattly, I'd
Army surgeon. said a quota for
his area is expected in about a
week. but that he plans to hold
up orders until more records are
received from doctors ordered for
preinduction physical checks
All doctors 50 ordered are sent
commissions If they state they
are willing to accept them.
IL So Far Commissioned.
Thus far, the colonel said, COM
missions have been sent to II
physicians and seven dentists from
the District. Also from the Dis.
trict, he said, four doctors have
fatty turned down commissions
records of Is others are held ur
because of questionable" physi-
cal condition and records for an
other 40 men have not yet reached
I'd Army headquarters. ~ (
From the entire Army area
papers have been processed TO,
only 165 men out of an expected
total Of about $500. Col. Glattly
explained that he will not break
down active duty quotas for the
District and each State until he
knows how many men are avail
able.
Status Is Question.
Meanwhile. the question of
what to do about doctors who re-
fuse commissions remains the big
problem for both draft and Army
officials. AS the situation now
stands, such men cannot be called
to active duty but still have the
right to apply later for commits
sions If the threat Of draft induc-
ton becomes imminent.
Col. Glattly said one possible
answer to the problem Is to set a
cutoff date. after which doctors
would not be allowed to apply for
commissions. Such a step. he
said. would have to be taken by
draft officials.
