District Court Gets
u. ). Brief Defending
Steel Seizure Action
BY the Associated Press

The conStitutionality of Presi-
dent Truman'S seizure of the steel
plants now is up to the District
Court.
Yesterday the Justice Depart
ment set forth it's views of the
legality of seizure of the steel
plants in a brief filed with the
United States District Court.
The department contended:
/. The seizure was fully in ac-
cordance with constitutional law.
2. There are a number of prece-
dents for Mr.. Truman's action.
3. Mr.. Truman didn't seize the
steel mills to avoid strike, but to
protect this Nations military posi-
ton.
Producers Challenge Action.
Five leading steel companies
have challenged the seizure and
asked for a permanent injunction.
The Justice Department reply
said Mr.. Truman acted under
article II of the Constitution
This article says:
The executive power shall be
vested in the President of the
United States Chat he) shall be
.Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy of the United States
(and that he shall take care that
the laws be faithfully executed" ."
The brief said "the authority of
the President to meet the existing
crises through a seizure in the
form here made is clearly estab-
lished by the Constitution, by his
torical precendent. and by court
decisions, and that this court is
without authority to enjoin presi-
dental action so motivated and
taken"
Historical Precendent Cited.
AS for historical precedent, it
listed a number of cases dating
back to 1912. Among them:
l.. President Lincoln blockaded
Southern ports prior to the out
break of the War Between the
States. The Supreme Court up
held the act.
2. Lincoln took over the railroad
and telegraph lines between
Washington and Annapolis. Md,
in 1861. congressional legislation
affirmed the action. The depart
ment said virtually all Congress-
men who spoke for the bill rec
ognized "the inherent constitu-
tional power to take the railroads
and telegraph lines if he thought
it necessary in the exercise of his
war powers
3. President Cleveland in 1894
sent troops into Chicago after the
Government won an injunction
to halt the Pullman strike. The
department asserted that the Su-
.preme Court upheld the action,
Saying "the strong arm of the ma
tional Government may be put
forth to brush away all obstruc-
tions to the freedom of interstate
commerce or the transportation
of the mails"

Sc Mutinous Convicts
In New Jersey Prison
Still Hold 4 HOSTAGES
BY the Associated Press

TRENTON. N. j., April 16.-A
handsome but vicious life-term
convict and Ct followers continued
today to defy their keepers in the
third riot inside New jerseys
State prison in the past month.
August Bernard Doak, described
by the judge who sentenced him
to life imprisonment for kidnap-
ing as a menace to society,"" led
the revolt which broke out at
10 am. yesterday in the prison S
print shop.
The 68 convicts barricaded
themselves within the print shop
holding four prison employees as
hostages. They had not smashed
any of the shops equipment, as
had some SO convicts who rioted
for IS hours three weeks ago in a
segregation building.
But, like the others, the Doak
gang went without food or light
through the night while guards
manned machine guns and riot
rifles in the yard.
DriScOll Calls Conference.
Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll took q
personal hand in this riot, calling
a conference of prison officials
for 9 am.
Gov. Driscoll said:
"Mutinies, especially those
sponsored by men who have
proved a menace to society, are
hardly calculated to arouse my
sympathy"
The rioters had demanded ar
investigation of the prison by ar
impartial organization-the same
demand made by the previous
rioters-and the immediate dis
missal of Warden William H
Carly.
During the night, the gang re.
ceived encouragement from Other
prisoners locked in one of the
prisons main wings. The prison.
ers yelled and screamed, rattlec
lcupS on bars. but eventually
quieted.
Prison officials demonstrated
with the Doak gang yesterday
fearing injury to the hostages
Two of the men held by the riot.
ers were reported suffering from
heart trouble.
Medicine Passed In.
Medicine and food were handed
into the print shop through 6
window, but whether the two
hostages received them was no
known.
Doak, who escaped from Mich
igan State Prison in 1945, where
he was serving 10 to 20 years fol
armed robbery, was arrested il
New Jersey in 1916.
The convict, who married {
16-year-old girl and was honey
incoming, was stopped near Tren
ton for speeding. Doak KIDNAPPED
the arresting State trooper at gul
point. but the officer escaped /;
few hours later.
! Doak was captured in the Sour
