Politics Not Factor in Judgeship
Stand, Senator Douglas Says

Then Senator Douglas said he
had undertaken to subordinate
politics in the matter and had
asked the bar association to dc
| likewise.
Senator LANCER raised the age
factor and said this seemed to
favor President Humans nomi-
nees. 1t was brought out that
Judge Harrington is SO years old
and Judge Drucker is 81, as
against 81 years of age for Mr..
King and 63 for Mr.. Epstein, the
Douglas choices.
Douglas Reiterates Stand.
Senator Douglas acknowledged
that wasgtrue if taken alone. But
he reiterated that he considered
the men he recommended were
much more qualified for the ap-
pointments.
Senator McCarran interrupted
at that point and dryly COM
mented:
Life begins, at rs" He OBJ
served his 18th birthday ami
versary two days ago.
Senator LANCER also noted that
Senator Douglas had recon-
mended a Gentle and a jew for
the appointment and asked what
consideration had entered inUo
these selections.
Senator Douglas replied that he
considered all groups should be
and that lin the
realities of the situation" he had
two of the best
qualified men for the appoint
ment. He added that Mr.. Truman
had followed a similar pattern in
his nominations.
Witnesses Oppose Harrington.
Two witnesseS-Edwin Faster
max, who said he was Chicago
dentist, and Harrison Parker, who
described himself as chancellor of
the Puritan Church here-testified
against Judge Harrington.
After the hearing, Judge Har-
rington told reporters that he
learned last week that the two
men would appear against hun
and had requested the Justice De-
partment to seek a delay in the
hearing. That was done and the
unexplained request by the Justlc
Department led to speculation
that some sort of compromise was
being attempted.
During the hearing today, Judge
Harrington submitted number of
documents relating to the oppose
ton of DR.. Pasternak and Mr..
Parker. He said both men mad
figured in lawsuits in his court in
Chicago.

Senator Douglas, Democrat, Of
Illinois, said today he had tried tt
Subordinate politics" in opposing
two nominations by President
Truman for Federal District judg-
ships.
He made the statement in tes-
tifying at a Senate Judiciary SUBJ
committee hearing on one of the
nominations-that of State Cir
cult Judge Cornelius j. Harring-
ton of Chicago.
Senator Douglas said he was
basing his opposition to Judge
Harrington on the relative quail
f1cations of different candidates
and added:
That has been my only pur-
pose. I do not wish to engage in
power struggle with the Presi-
dent"
Says He Likes President.
He said he likes Mr.. Truman
personally and has supported most
of his major policies.
The Illinois Senator is waging a
fight against President Truman's
choices of Judge Harrington
and Joseph Jerome Druckel, of
Chicago, for two newly-created
Federal judgeships in the northern
district of Illinois. Senator Douglas
has recommended William H.
King, jr., and Judge Benjamin
Epstein, both of Chicago, for the
places.
Mr.. Truman said yesterday he is
pat on his nominations.
At the conclusion of the Har-
rington hearing, Chairman Nc
Carran of the Senate Judiciary
Committee pointed out that the
precedent that has been estab-
lished over number of years was
against Senate confirmation of the
nominees in view of the opposition
of Senator Douglas. He made a
similar statement at the end of
the Drucker hearing last Saturday.
Full Committee Consideration.
The two nominations will be
by the full Senate
committee before being reported,
favorably or unfavorably, to the
Senate.
Senator Douglas views about
the controversy with Mr.. Truman
were given while he was being
questioned by Senator LANCER, Re-
of North Dakota about
the political and religious factors
involved in the appointments. He
asked if Senator Douglas had
talked with Jacob Arvey. Chicago
political leader and member of the
Democratic National Committee.
Certainly" Senator Douglas re-
piled,
Senator Douglas explained that
he had held a conference last De-
cember with Mr. Arvey and others
at which he told them he thought
that his candidates were the best
qualified for the positions.
LANCER Cites Poll.
Senator LANCER noted that Sen
ator Douglas had requested the
Chicago Bar Association to con-
duct poll on the candidates
which resulted in support for the
two men recommended by Senator
Douglas. He pointed out that the
association was very. conserva-
tive" and might have been ex-
pected to support the Douglas
choices as a means of sighting"
the President.

Federal Court 10 Hear
Plea for Reduced Bail
From ; Held as Reds
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1O.-Three
OF the six persons nabbed by the
FB1 in a roundup of Maryland
and District of Columbia Com
munists may get hearing in
Federal Court today on their
pleas for freedom or reduced bail.
The trio claim that the SIS, 900
bail apiece is excessive and filed
habeaS corpus action yesterday
for their release.
In one of the petitions, Maurice
L. Braverman, 35-year-old Balti-
more attorney, charged he was
being treated as common
criminal" He added that he was
being held without any showing
of probable cause that he had
committed any crime.
Held here along with Mr.. Brav-
erman since Tuesday are George
Meyers, 38, chairman and organ
1zer of the Communist Party's
District Four headquarters in Bal
timore, and Roy Wood, So, chair
man for the party in the District
OF Columbia and treasurer in
Baltimore.
Mr.. Braverman is nStcd by the
FBI as official attorney for the
party'S District Four, but the
Government says he has never
admitted being a Communist.
Accused Under Smith Act.
All are accused of plotting and
advocating violent overthrow of
the United States Government by
force.
The petitions for release were
filed in Federal Court by Harold
Buchanan, counsel for the accused.
He said Federal Judge w. Calvin
Chestnut had set a hearing on
them for this morning.
However, Bernard j. Flynn,
United States Attorney for Mary
land, said he did not know when
the Government might be required
to answer the habeas corpus
action.
Judge Chestnut may only sign
a show cause order today giving
the Government a fixed time in
which to answer.
In demanding lower bail, the
defendants said that United States
Commissioner Ernest Volkart who
fixed it at $4,000, had acted
solely as puppet for the United
States attorney and in response
to a hysteria evoked by charges
c political offense."
Constitution Cited.
Meyers and Wood argued that
1t violated the eighth amendment
to the Constitution, which forbids
excessive bail.
Mr.. Flynn said the Government
would resist any attempt to lower !
the bond requirements. He added
that the $4,000 figure was neces-
sary because four Communists
convicted of similar charges and
sentenced to prison in New York
disappeared while free on bail.
The three defendants were
among six arrested by the FBI
Tuesday and Wednesday. The
others, all Communist Party fig
ures, are being held under heavy
bond in New York and Cleveland. !,
They are Philip Frankfeld, A, /,
former chairman of District Four:
his wife, Regina, Il. who held
minor party posts here until her
husband went to Cleveland early
this year, and Dorothy Rose Blum 4,
berg, a party official here before I
to Brooklyn.

Huge Player Trade Looms In Majors

COLUMBUS, O.. Dec. 4-tR--A three-team player trade of giant proportions involving Brooklyn, Cincinnati and the Philadelphia Phillies is brewing at the minor league convention today and may be consummated during the big league meeting in New York over the weekend. The huge transaction represents more than $750,000 worth of playing talent.
 If the deal can be worked out and only one player stands in the way-here is what will happen. The Phils will get slugging first base man Gil Hodges, who is the No. man in their want list, and rookie shortstop Bobby Morgan of Brook lyn. They will give up outfielders Del Ennis, Dick Sisler, first base man Eddie Waitkus and the choice of pitcher Bubba Church or Russ Meyer. The Dodgers will send Ennis and pitcher Ralph Branca to the Reds for pitcher Herman Wehmeier and outfielder Johnny Wyrostek.
 Here is what is holding up the deal. The Phils have offered catcher Andy Seminick instead of Ennis. The Dodgers insist on Ennis because he is the man the Reds want for one of their star hurlerS.
 While the big leaguers were try ing to cook up some deals, the minors methodically went about their business drafting players of lower classification. In all, 66 players were selected by the nine Triple A, Double A and single A leagues at a cost of $224,000.

Did Spike Walk or Fly
 From Juneau 10 Denver! Scientist Wanis 10 Know
Where is Bob Peterson?

where IS BOD Peterson?
 That is what J. B. Rhine of the parapsychology laboratory at Duke University, Durham, N. c. would like to know. It all started oyer a brown and white springer spaniel dog named Spike.
 Spike showed up in Denver, Colo. footsore and weary. He was wearing 1850 Juneau dog license tag No. 69 and was in the possession of an Air Force Sgt. H. A. Anna.
 Rhine is making a scientific study of the abilities of animals to find their way over long distances in strange country. He wrote to City Clerk c. L. Popejoy to check on the owner of the dog, thinking the dog may have made his way overland from Juneau to Denver.
 Popejoy wrote Rhine giving him the information on the applicant for dog license No. 69 but did not have Peterson's address and said that Alaska was full of Petersons.
 More than likely this dog that made it's appearance in Denver was taken out of Alaska via airplane after being attached to Air Force personnel" Popejoy wrote the bud- ding scientist, ". but if this dog travelled by foot from Juneau to Denver, he would have had to cross at least one or two glaciers about 20 miles out of Juneau, go up the Taku Valley into Canada, thence south to the states, hitting few set dement's and going through wolf infested country. This is rather fantastic but not impossible for a small dog"
