.3-Judge Court Rules
Sections Of Lobbying
Act Unconstitutional
Criminal Penalties
Not Clear, Opinion by
Judge HoItzoff Soys

A special three-judge Federal
court had dealt q vital blow to
the lobbying act by declaring that
the language does not adequately
describe grounds for criminal
prosecution.
The opinion resulted from
|drawn-out litigation brought by
the National Association OF Manu-
|factiirers in reply to Justice De-
|partment demands that the group
comply with the act.
In the opinion written by Dis.
|trict Judge Alexandria Holtzoff
the court declared that the GRIM
|inal penalties Of the act, Section
$40. were unconstitutional.
Appeal Is Expected.
It also called unconstitutional
Sections 303 to 307, which require
Jail persons whose principal pur-
pose is to influence passage of leg.
|islation in Congress, and who use
contributions for that purpose, te
file the amount contributed with
the clerk of the House.
Defendant in the case was the
Justice Department. which is ex-
|pected to appeal the decision. :
The court made no ruling as te
the section requiring individual
lobbyists to register with the
clerks OF the Senate and House
and to file quarterly reports. II
said the section was not involved
in the case.
Effectiveness Hit.
However, with the penalty
clause removed, it appeared the
effectiveness Of the law, as applies
to thousands Of lobbyists. would be
lost should the opinion be upheld
In higher courts.

Term and Fine Provided.
The court hit at the penalty
clause which prohibits for three

ence, directly or indirectly. the

Grow Incident Stirs
Army Move 10 Ban
Overseas Diaries
Boiling Recommends
Writings Be Prohibited: /:
Theft Case Reviewed
By John A. Giles

The Army's intelligence chief
disclosed today that he had rec
commended that all Army Iperson-
mel be prohibited from keeping
diaries when overseas.
Maj. Gen. Alexander r. Boiling
made the disclosure at an un-
usual news. conference during
which he reviewed the case Of
Maj. Gen. r. w. Grow, former
military attache to the American
Embassy in Moscow, whose diary
has been photographed by. a spy
and published by the Communists.
Disapproves of Practice.
Asked If he approved the keep
ing Of diaries by attaches, the
general replied:
Absolutely no."
The general added that It was
not commonplace practice for
attaches to keep diaries. How
ever, all attaches. who are selected
by the, Intelligence Division, have
been warned by an interoffice let
ter against such practices.
Gen. Boiling said the Grow
diary, presumably photographed in
full by an unknown person in q
Frankfurt Germany hotel room
last July 13, had not been dis
closed in complete form in a book
published early this year in East
Germany.
The Army had no knowledge
that Gen. Grows diary had been
photographed until it first ap-
peared on Berlin bookshelves last
January II. Gen. Grow was then
IN Germany and I'VE did hot per-
NIT him to go back to Moscow
because he might have been de-
alared persona non grata," Gen.
Boiling told reporters.
Security Angle Checked.
The general refused to say
whether national security had
been imperiled by the Grow in
cident, saying the inspector gen.
eral was investigating.
In the diary, the general was
quoted as saying that this country
should launch a war against Rus
sia "aS soon as possible" and told
of various trips over that country
pointing out strategic targets to
be hit.
Gen. Boiling also disclosed that
Gen. Grow was not the Intelli-
gence Divisions selection for the
Moscow post although he had been
acceptable.
He added that when Gen.
Grows name was submitted, I'VE
were very glad to have him In

Describes Screening Process.
Gen. Boiling described in detail
the screening of all officers before
they are named attaches. The
process requires from one month
to three months. Those Of the
rank Of colonel or below are Sc
lected from q slate Of such officers
submitted by Ga. In the case o,

The witness. referring to the

Doctors May Hasten
Return 10 Action Of
Justice and Papit
By Lewis F. Atchison
Sior Stoff Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 49,
Doak Walker created some excite
ment among the Redskins yester-
day by driving into their motel in
a block-long auto, and Coach Cur
ly Lambeau of the Washington
Club fears the former Southern
Methodist halfback may cause
even more commotion Saturday
night when his men tangle with
the Detroit Lions in an exhibition.
Walkers visit was purely social.
He came to cali on Charlie Justice,
Washington halfback. AS Choo
Choo's fractured wrist still is in a
cast he'll have no chance of re-
turning the visit Saturday. In
fact, with several of their best
backs sidelined because of injuries,
it's doubtful if any Redskins will
get into Detroit territory. Most
observers believe the Redskins are
going to Norman, where the game
will be played in the University OF
Oklahoma stadium, only for the
bus ride.
Should Have Advantage.
It's ironic that Lambeau, still
looking for his first victory at the
Redskins helm. complained that
in the last two games the opposi-
ton had a psychological edge
coming up to the Washington con-
test after bad drubbings. Thus
the Redskins should have a wide
advantage over the Lions, who
have won five straight exhibition
games, while Lambeau's mer
dropped four. But Lambeau
doesn't seem to have the manpowel
to take advantage of the situa.
ton.

3 Weeks of Practice Ends Fear
OfCooches for St. Johns Team
By Bill Fuchs
(AnOther in a SerieS.J

Three weeks ago. Joe Gallagher,
head coach. and Mush Dobofsky,
line coach Of st. Johns High
School wouldn't have given much
for the Johnnies' chances in foot
ball this season.
That was three weeks ago. To-
|day-the eve of the opener against
Roosevelt. finds both Gallagher
and Dubofsky regarding the sea-
son with relish. The veterans are
looking good and the newcomers
better than expected.
"At first I was discouraged" :"
Gallagher admits. For the last
two years we've been used to hav-
ing two good teams. Why, last
year. we almost had one complete
offensive team and another COM
plete defensive team. We only
have five regulars back from last
year and things didn't look good.
Now I feel much better. We've
had four scrimmages and they
looked very good. OF course they
lack experience and that's the one
thin thing I'm afraid might catch up
with them"
Gallagher Praises Aide.
Three weeks ago took a look
at this bunch." DubofSky says,
land told Joe we haven't got the
right time. But you don't know
how fast some boys can come
along. And that's what's done it,"
Dubofsky, former star lineman
at Georgetown who spent one
Iyear-1932-with the professional
Giants, deserves most of the
credit, Gallagher says.
He had the toughest job," Joe
says. HE just proved again that
he is great line coach by making
something out Of these boys. We
didn't expect a thing"
