follows:
This is black day, one of the

This morning was signed. ,in-
less the American people force q

Western civilization by a President
who didn't know what he was do
ing. He is surrounded by the
Jessups, the Achesons, the old Hiss

things are done at 1870 and {

these economic mobilization agen-

The commissions action today

In issuing the warning to the

Congress criticism last year of
"job imitation" practices in Gov

commission said it intended to
see that such practices did not
occur this time. If such practices
are found, the violators will be
dealt with sternly, the commits

Commissions officials said the
new policy would not prevent
justified promotions and salary in

unwarranted upgradings. Con-

Truman Asks Funds
For Aid 10 Schools in
Some Critical Areas

President Truman today asked
Congress for $50 million supple
mental appropriation to provide
the Office of Education with funds
for urgently needed school facili-
ties in areas to be determined By
the President to be critical on
account of national defense actiyi-
ties.
The request is in line with others
the President has made for SIM
liar projects.
The President today also asked
for 100000 for the Bureau of
Prisons. Justice Department, to
cope with increased costs.
An Office of Education spokes-
man said communities circling
Washington all have applied for
Federal assistance on their school
construction programs. He said
all are eligible for assistance be-
cause of the impact of extensive
defense activities on their COM
munlUy 1dclllCleS.
The education official added,
however, that whether they get
funds out of this appropriation de-
pends on how far the money will
go and what strings are attached
to it. He explained that priority
of need list will have to be set up
and the chances of a community
getting money will rest on where
they fit on the priority list. He
estimated that TOO communities
urgently need Federal assistance.
Eligible applicants in this vicin-
ity. he said, are Montgomery.

SawyerC ContemptC Case
Postponed, Court Hits
Justice Department

The United States Court Of APP
peals today continued until April
2S it's hearing on contempt charges
against Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer and nine others including
high-ranking Justice Department
officials.
The court, however, read an
hour-long statement of its views"
explaining why it ordered the Of
ficials to answer contempt charges.
The statement was highly critical
of the Justice Department and de-
clared:
There are almost always two
sides to a controversy. The loser
almost always thinks the court is
wrong. The Justice Department
in this instance, although supposed
to set the standard for the attitude
and conduct for the bar toward
the bench. appears to vent this
well-nigh universal dissatisfaction
at defeat by instigating an un-
seemly conflict between two
COURTS
McGrath Attends Session.
That was an apparent reference
to the Governments recent action
in applying for an Injunction in a
Federal District Court in San
Francisco to prevent the R. STAN
ley Dollar interests from using
the 2 million shares Of stock in
the American President Lines, a
S6S million steamship company
operated by the Government. The
court here had ruled that the
Dollar interests were entitled to
defective possession" of the stock.
When Judges Bennett Champ
Clark, Wilbur K. Miller and E.
Barrett PretJyman convened court
today. Secretary Sawyer. Solicitor
General Philip B. Perlman and
the other defendants, accompanied
by Attorney General McGrath, oc-
cuppied chairs in front of the
bench. Every seat in the court
room was filed and scores OF per-
sons stood.
The court granted request by
Mr.. McGrath for the continuance
so that Chief Justice Vinson might
have more time to study Govern
ment petition for poStponement of
the proceedings pending a final
decision by the Supreme Court.
Held Conference With Vinson.
The Attorney General explained
that he and Mr.. Perlman conferred
yesterday for three hours with
Chief Justice Vinson concerning
the petition for postponement. He
said the Chief Justice preferred
not to intervene in the Appeals
Court hearing today but that he
would welcome an opportunity to
have more time for consideration
of the application If the Appeals
Court saw fit to continue the
scheduled proceedings.
Judge Clark announced that the
continuance would be permitted
but that in behalf of the Appeals
Court. Judge Prettymari would
read a statement of views. That
statement, he explained. was not
intended to pass on the question
of whether Secretary Sawyer and
the others were guilty Of contempt
of court.
The 33-page statement con-
cluded with a comment that the
court would be mast happy If it
could be shown THAI the Govern
ment, officers did, not commit the
contemptuouS acts which petir
toners charged them With having
committed or if it should develop
that the Government officers have
now complied or intend to comply
fully and unreservedly with the
