In an editorial, the Journal said
developments Of the past two
weeks hardly offer assurances
lof the stability Of our Federal
establishment"
It referred to the dismissal Of

Concerning the steel labor sei-

Court Rules Fisherman
Losing Grounds Can Sue
By the Associo,ed Press

Loss of Chesapeake Bay fishing
grounds by extension of a re-
stricted area can provide a legal
claim against the Government,
in the opinion of the United States
Court of Claims.
This conclusion is given by the
court in findings of fact requested
by the Senate in considering a
bill to settle claim by the estate
Of w. c. Jackson.
Prior to his death last April,
Mr.. Jackson had operated as a
commercial fisherman off the
eastern shore of Spesutie Island,
Md. In 1943, the Government
enlarged the restricted areas of
the Aberdeen Proving Ground to
cover all of the island and
adjacent waters.
Mr.. Jackson had a Maryland
license to use pound nets.
The court said it believes Mr..
jackson had a sort of property
right in his fishing ground, and
that the Government took that
property from him."
It fixed this loss in Mr.. jack
sons case at $4,000. An addi-
tional $1.500 was fixed by the
court as the Governments liabil-
ity in the burning of some nets
owned by Mr.. Jackson and stored
with Government permission in
q building on the island.

Pro-Ma|an Paper
Reveals Outline Of Bill
Aimed 10 Curb Courts
By the Associated Press

CAPETOWN, South Africa, April
12.-An outline of a bill restrict
ing the authority of the courts
which the government of Prime
Minister Daniel F. Malan plans to
introduce in Parliament next week
appeared today in the pro-qovern-
ment newspaper Die Burger.
The appeals court-South At
rica's highest tribunal - has
knocked out an act which was
the keystone of the Malan gov
ernment's race segregation policy.
The act restricted the voting
rights of $4,000 colored (persons
of mixed blood in Cape Province.
Die Burger said the new bill
will declare in unequivocal terms
that Parliament is the nations
highest authority and that the
courts have no testing rights OF
that authority. Another section OF
the bill lays down that a decision
of the courts will be subject to
review by Parliament itself.
Parliament meets Tuesday.
There is bitter opposition to DR..
Malan's challenge of court author
ity from the opposition Ur tod
Party and from the Torch Com
mandos, an organization maoe up
largely of ex-servicemen. Nom
whites are planning a campaign
of civil disobedience to defy seq
regation laws.
The Appeals Court disqualified
the Malan Act providing separate
voting rolls for Cape coloreds on
the ground that it was passed by
a simple majority in parliament
whereas the South Africa Act

tion-provides that such legisla-

Polish Merchant Ships
Move Arms 10 China,
Refugees Declare
By The Associoted Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April IL.
Polish refugee sources here said
today Poland is using half of her
merchant navy-some 100000 men
for secret shipments of arma-
ments. machinery and food to
Communist China.
The sources said between Is and
20 big Polish ships are operating
regularly from Polish Baltic sea-
ports to TientSin, China. The
Poles 60 a long way around to
avoid detection of this shipping,
the sources said. making no stops
at bunker ports en- route and re-
fueling from big Polish tanker in
the Persian Gulf.
War materials being moved in
clude Soviet guns and tanks,
Czechoslovak machineguns and
other light equipment from Poland
and Hungary. the sources said,
adding there were indications that
Hungarian and Czechoslovak jet
engines also were in the cargoeS.
The smaller equipment was said to
be packed in huge barrels marked
sugar"
Started With l Ship.
This Polish Chinese trade was
said to have started with only
one ship. the 4-716-ton General
Walter, in 1949.
The two countries established
q joint, Polish-Chinese shipping
company on January l. 1851, the
sources said, and its small staff
is headed by woman Communist.
At that time. they added, Polish
shipping to China amounted to
about 10000 tons monthly with
about half a dozen ships in op-
Grafton and has more than
doubled since then. Some Polish
vessels also are reported carrying
rubber from IndoneSia to China.
Poland, meanwhile. was said by
German sources in Berlin to have
launched an all-out campaign to
entice Polish refugees back to
their homeland from all over the
world to help plug the manpower
shortage in industry and agri-
culture.
Refugees Started RumOr.
The recent return of 10000
Poles from the Far East-many
with Chinese and Manchurian
wives and children-gave rise to
current rumors that many Chinese
coolies had been drafted to work
IN Poland. But the Berlin sources
said they were repatriated Poles
brought in at government expense
and settled in comfortable quar-
terS from which former occupants
have been ousted.
Polish conSulates and missions
abroad are continuing their search
for nationals willing to return to
their native land, the sources
said. with promises of special con-
cesSions and a new start in life.
