High Court 10 Review
Sawyer's S Appeal Of
Contempt Citation
Appeals Bench Verdict
In Cose of Dollar Line
Accepted for Hearing
By Robert K. Walsh

| The appeal OF Secretary OF Com
merce Sa' yer and nine others
from a contempt of court judg-
ment here last spring will be re-
viewed by the Supreme Court.
The high courts acceptance OF
the petition for review was the
newest development in the six
year legal battle between the Gov
ernment and the r. Stanley Dol
lar shipping interests for control
of the $68 million American Pres
ident Lines.
The Government claims that 81
per cent of the stock of the ole
Dollar Steamship Line was giver
to the Government in 1898 as ar
outright surrender. The Dollar
group claims that it turned over
the stock at that time only as 9
pledge for Government loans.
Cited by Appeals Court.
| Today's action by the Supreme
Court was in line with it's an
nouncement last June 4 that it
would review a United States
Court of Appeals decision here in
favor of the Dollar interests. The
appeals courts had ordered Mr.
Sawyer and the others to give the
Dollar group effective possession
of the controlling stock of the line,
which the Government now op-
crates.
Secretary Sawyer, Solicitor Gen
eral Philip B. Perlman and others
mostly Justice and Commerce De-
|partment officials. were adjudged
lin civil contempt by the appeals
court last May. That court threat
ened to jail them unless they COM
piled with it's orders for effective
transfer of the stock to the Dol
lars. The Government officials in
their appeal to the Supreme Court
denied the contempt charges, but
contended mainly that the appeals
court lacked authority to hold
them in contempt.
Killion Files Separate Plea.
The Supreme Court today
agreed to review two petitions
covering the samee contempt is
sue. Besides the petition in be-
half of Secretary Sawyer and the
others who are Government Of
ficials, or were in Government en-
ploy last spring. a separate petit
ton was filed by George L. Kill
lion. Mr.. Killion. a former treas
urer of the Democratic National
Committee, is president of API..
i In agreeing to review the con-
tempt judgments. the Supreme
Court indicated that it will hear
arguments early in 1852 on sev-
eral related cases. Those deal
not only with the contempt judg-
ments but with the Governments
appeals from decisions earlier this
year by the Court of Appeals in
favor of the Dollar group.

fighting would not. end until an
armistice is signed. The United
Nations command wants to create
a cease-f1re buffer zone only after
other terms of an armistice are
agreed on.
The Reds outlined their position
in a five-hour session at Pam
munjom while Allied artillery
shells burst on hills less than two
miles away. The white phos-
phorous and high explosive shells
bracketed the town.
Arguments More Heated.
Gen. Nuckols said arguments
became more heated today. Rear
Admiral Arleith Burke, who car
ried the brunt of the argument
for the U. N. command, was
hoarse when he left the negotiat-
ing tent. Gen. Nuchols declined
to comment when asked whether
the talks were deteriorating.
Another U. N. spokesman said
the Reds complained an Allied
plane violated the Panmunjom
neutral area Saturday.

Allied liaison officer, said pro-
peller driven plane flew over the

Col. Edwards said the Commu-
nists asked for an explanation of

leaflets into the area Sunday.
Col. Edwards said the leaflets
were dropped outside the area but
some were blown in by the wind.

Chest for 20 years has been the

On the question Of extension
Mr.. Owen has stated already that
he doesn't believe in letting the
drive "drag out" Indications are
there won't be any extension as
long as last year's-which went
nearly to Christmas.
The end of the month has been
mentioned as probability by
campaign leaders.
Mr.. Owen bases his prediction
of success on bigger and more

Mr.. Snyder said the recent de-
velopments have caused him great
anguish"
"It was a matter of shock and
concern to me that some employees
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue
have been found unworthy of pub

greater distress that some of these
have been officials in responsible
places.

Such problems must be untlinch-
