Iraq Embassy Janitor
Held of Unsound Mind
In Carefaker Staying

District Court Judge James W.
Morris ruled yesterday that
former janitor at the Iraq En-
bassy, who is charged with first
degree murder, is of unsound
mind.
The ruling was made in the case
of Chamcheum Elias Sesi, 81, &C
cussed of fatally stabbing the
Embassy's head caretaker, NAH
mud Rudeeni. 81, last July 81.
The stabbing was in the Embassy
chancery, 2205 Massachusetts ave-
nue. NV. Sesi was no longer en-
ployed at the Embassy at the time,
but was visiting.
Judge Morris finding was made
after four psychiatrists had tes-
titled at a lunacy hearing that
Sesi is of unSound mind and dan
gerouS to others. The psychiatrists
were Drs: Joseph L. Gilbert and
Amino Perretti of Gallinger Hos
pital, and Drs. o. V. Todd and
Joseph L. Sheridan of St. Eliza
bethS Hospital. SeSi will be COM
mitted to an institution for treat
ment.
Hearing Was Test Case.
The hearing was in the nature
of a test case regarding the right
of a Judge to decide without a.
jury the mental condition of al
man accused in a criminal case.
Such a hearing without jury
is provided for under new law, i'll
was explained by Assistant United
States Attorney John D. Lane, who
represented the Government att
the hearing.
Defense counsel commended such
a hearing should be before a jury
They announced they will appeal
from Judge Morris decision. The
defense attorneys are James K.
Hughes. T. Emmett Mckenzie
and Leonard L. Leimbach.
Declared Sane Now.
The defense contends SeSi was
of unsound mind at the time of
the Staying but is sane now. SesiI
contends his victim made improper
advances toward him. He testi-
fed briefly at the hearing and
told of his arrest in Detroit after
the killing.
Many legal moves have been,
made in the Sesi case since he was
indicted last August. One of these
included a defense motion for
dismissal of the indictment on the
ground that the killing was onI
Iraq property and that District
Court, therefore lacked jurisdic-
ton All the motions were over
ruled.

ROBBERS BOOST

Sergeant William Yalert 8th U. s. Cavalry, came to Alaska back in 1898 with an Army exploring ex- petition in command of Captain E. F. Glenn.
 Sgt. Yanert was a pretty fair explorer and photographer himself and he was placed in charge of several detached parties that worked along the Susitna River and in the Broad Pass country As result of his work a mountain, a lake and a river in Central AL aska are named for him.
 When his soldering days were over, Sgt. Yanert stayed in Alaska and became plain Billy Yanert. He settled down on the Yukon flats built a cabin and operated a wood yard in the summer and ran trap line in the winter.
 He called his place "Purgatory, which caused more than a little comment among the passengers on the river steamers that stopped at his place. But a couple of years later he added another attraction
 Returning from a trip, Yanert found that he had been robbed His grub cache was empty. His spare clothing was gone. So were his blankets and cooking utensils and tools. In fact, he had been cleaned out.
 He got another outfit from town and, as soon sS it was slowed away, he set about erecting a warning. He hung piece of bacon outside the cache and it wasn't long before a Canada jay, more commonly known as "camp-robber, was at work on the bacon. He shot the bird
 Then he dug a man-sized grave in conspicuous place near a corner of his cabin. He buried the jay there, rounded the grave into the usual shape and fashioned a wooden headhoard. On the head board he burned an inscription with hot iron: He Robbed My Camp and I Shot Him.
 This not only caused a great deal of excited speculation among the travellers who prowled around the place while their steamboats wooded up at Yanert's yard but, so far as the record shows. the camp was never again robbed.

THE GI AND FISK

A report from Washington, D. C., on the food preferences of American soldiers does not make very good reading for those in the Alaska fishing industry-or any other fishing industry.
 Soldiers are inclined to be un- happy if fish is served too often, the Army said.
 During a recent six-months per iod the Army bought 2,6l6,00C pounds of fish in Seattle alone and this did not include any can- ned fish. For this fish the Army paid S1, 1,123,o00, or about 42.5 cents { pound.
 But the buyers held out no prom ises regarding future purchases although the Army would like tC increase it's fish purchases because fish is cheaper than meat.
 Repeated efforts on the part oi the military officials to increase the per-capita consumption of fish ir military menus has not been toe successful the Army report says
 Maybe what the Army needs i; not change of menu but a change Of cooks.

A whole lot of people will be coming to Alaska this summer. But mostly, the reports say, they will be construction workers and troops in addition to the regular seasonal influx of fisheries and mining workers.
 The people the Alaska Visitors Association hopes to attract-the summer vacationers or tourists - are apparently staying away from Alaska in droves. The Canadian Pacific has cancelled a couple of its sailings and other lines report that bookings have dropped sharp ly from last years peak.

to go into a special fund.

End Of Public Listing
OF .Subversive Groups
Is Seen by Officials
By the Associoied Press

Some Government attorneys to-
day foresaw the possibility of a
private listing of organizations
designated by the Attorney Gen
eral as SubverSive.
That list is now public, but some
officials predicted it may not be
In the future because of the Su-
preme Court action Monday in
granting three groups court
hearing on their protests that they
don't belong on the list and should
be taken off.
The organizations involved are
the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee
Committee, the National Council
of American-Soviet Friendship,
Inc, and the International Work
ers' Order. Inc.
Along with more than $50 other
organizations, they are included on
the Attorney Generals list pre-
pared for the guidance of loyalty
boards in looking into the aff1lia-
tions of Federal workers. The list
ingS are made without hearings,
but after Justice Department in
vestigation.
Decisions Reversed.
The three groups which chal-
lenged their inclusion in District
Court here claimed they were dam
aged by being put on the list. Dis
trict and circuit courts dismissed
their protests.
But the Supreme Court reversed
these decisions and sent the cases
back to the District Court for
hearing on whether there were
reasonable grounds" to include
them on the Subversive list.
The So action of the high court
produced six separate opinions,
running to more than $4,000
words.
Government attorneys who
asked not to be named, agreed
that what the court said was that
since the groups had claimed
damage, the District Court should
find out if it was reasonable" to
list them.
Must Offer Reasons in Court.
This means that if Attorney
General McGrath wants to defend
the list, he must offer publicly I'M
court at least some of his reasons
for branding the three groups
as subverSive.
A majority of the court left the
impression it does not look with
favor on subversive list made
public without hearings for those
listed.
