Justice Weighs Steps
In CopIon Case After
Supreme Court Ruling
By Robert K. Welsh

judith Coplon'S former en-
ployer, the Justice Department,
was undecided today on whether
to bring her to trial again In
courts here and in New York City
on charges of having been an
espionage agent for Russia.
The next steps were up to the
Department as the result Of Su-
preme Court refusal yesterday to
interfere with confusing and con-
flicting decisions by lower courts.
The tribunal left standing a
United States Court of Appeals
ruling here last June that her con-
viction in District Court was justi-
fed by the evidence but that she
was entitled to a new trial, If
she could prove FBI agents tapped
her telephone talks with . her
lawyer.
Second Finding Left Standing.
The Supreme Court also left
standing a finding by the United
States Court of Appeals in New
York City in December, 1850, that
her guilt is plain" but that her
conviction in Federal Court there
had to be reversed. The Appeals
Court, although refusing to dis
miss the indictment, held that
she was entitled to a new trial,
because FBI agents illegally ar
rested her without warrant and
because wire tapping also was a
factor.
A Justice Department spokes-
man said officials will not decide
their next moves until they "ana-
lyze the situation"
Meanwhile, Miss Coplon. now
Mrs. Albert H. Sucolov, has been
free under bail from the 40
months-to-10-year sentence inn
posed in District Court here and
the 15-year sentence given her in
Federal Court in New York.
The Supreme Court, scheduled
later this week to hear arguments
on released time" religious in
struction and Bible reading pro-
grams in public schools, had an
unusually active afternoon yes
terday.
Segregation Ruling Put Of.
It put off, probably until the
next term. a final ruling on a
three-judge Federal court deci-
sion, which upheld segregation of
white and Negro public school
children in South Carolina. The
tribunal technically vacated that
decision and said it would not rule
on the appeal until the three
judge court stated Its views and
took whatever action it may
deem appropriate" on the basis
Of additional facts in a report by
school officials.
The three-judge court while up
holding segregation, found last
June that facilities for Negro and
white children were not equal. It
ordered school authorities to re-
port within six months on what
they had done to equalize the
facilities.
: Much the same constitutional
issue has been raised by a group
of Negro parents and others here,
challenging constitutionality of
the Districts segregated school
system. The Supreme Court has
not yet ruled on their request that
1t order the establishment of al
special three-judge lower court to
pass on the constitutional ques-
ton.
