OKLAHOMA CITY, May S.
Gov. Johnston Murray's upset

Every one thought the Cover
nor had left for Washington,
D. c.. to attend a conference
yesterday. So 1t. Gov. James
Berry signed a minor bill into
law.
That's what he thought!
Gov. Murray, who explained
he didn't tell any one he was
around because he was too sick
to be bothered by phone calls,
said he never left. Mr.. Murray's
signature on the bill, therefore,
is illegal.
In all probability. the Legis-
lature will have to recall the
measure. pass it again, and send
it back to the Governors office
for the correct signature.

Of Political Issues
Archibald MacLeiSh.

The duty of churches to dis
cuSs political and economic is
sues was enthusiastically in
dorsed yesterday by some zoe
delegates to the 58th annual
convention of the Episcopal Dio-
cese of Washington.
The Rev. Leland Stark, rector
of Epiphany Church and Co.
adjutor Bishop-elect of Newark
| N. j., was roundly applauded by
the assembled clergy and laity
when he asserted that the Chris
tian religion touches on life as a
whole.
1.-The Christian religion is con-
cerned with political and eco
nomic life," he said. IF it is not
concerned with the whole area
of life, it's not the Christian re-
ligion."
DR.. stark opposed several dele
gates who moved to exclude
mention of congressional investi-
cations from a strongly worded
anti-Communist resolution.
Bishop Dun Reports.

Church, Webster street and Rock

Supreme Court Sets
Stage for Big Issues
Al Autumn Session
By Robert K. Welsh

The Supreme Court has q
month to go and some 40 cases
to decide before recessing for the
summer. But already it is setting
up big issues for argument early
in the fall.
Those questions. as a result Of
court actions yesterday, include
constitutionality of the Federal
Lobbying Act, probably another
appeal by Harold r. Christoffel,
and perhaps further litigation
developing from decision
against the Jaybird Democratic
Association in Texas.
The tribunal yesterday heard
the last arguments of its current
term. The main case on the final
list, likely to be decided before
adjournment. was the perjury
appeal of Harry Bridges, West
Coast longshoremen's union lead
er.
Illness of Justice Jackson is not
expected to prevent the court
from clearing up cases already
argued. Justice Jackson was
scheduled to undergo minor sur
gerry in Doctors Hospital today
for thyroid condition. His Of
flee said he planned to be back
at work within two weeks.
He was not on the bench yes
terday when the court announced
opinions or orders on these is
sues:
Lobbying. The court granted
a Government request for review
of a ruling by Judge Alexander
Holtzoff of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia that key sections of the
lobby regulations are unconsti-
tutional.
Perjury Sentence. The court
directed that Christoffel. former
United Auto Workers official in
Milwaukee, be re-sentenced in
District Court where he was
twice convicted of lying to the
House Labor Committee con-
corning Communist affiliations.
In 1949, the Supreme Court Or
dered a new trial. On the second
conviction he was sentenced to
serve from two to six years un-
der the District Code carrying
a 10-year maximum. The high
court yesterday said he should
be sentenced under the Federal
Code with a f1ve-year maximum.
Jaybird Election. The court held
that an advance primary plan of
the Jaybird Democratic Associa-
ton in Fort Bend County. Texas.
violated the Constitution because
it barred Negroes from having a
chance to elect Democratic Party
nominees. Candidates "nomi-
mated" at the Jaybird pre-
primaries from which Negroes
were excluded went on the regu-
lar Democratic primary lists.
Justice Minton disSented.
TelevisiOn Technicians. The
court agreed to review next fall
a decision by the U. S. Court
of Appeals for the District
Of Columbia involving Charlotte.
N. c.. TV station employees who
distributed leaflets criticizing the
stations programs. The appeals
court held that the distribution
activity did not violate the Taft
Hartley Act.
Tennessee Taxes. The court
held, with Chief Justice Vinson
and Justices Black and Jackson
dissenting, that Tennessee can
levy tax of more than 81 mil
lion on the ESQ Standard Oil
Company for storage of Gov

cal Intervention in political af-
fairs as he urged passage of a
strong indictment of Commu-
niSm.
The resolution branded Com
muniSm as "a fanatical idola-
trous and totalitarian religious
system. committed to the de-
struction of all religious rivals"
1t urged prayers for the CONVEX
sion of Russia and China and
study of a statement on con-
gressional Investigations issued
in March by the National Council
of Churches. The statement was
appended to the resolution and
presented for adoption except
for the final paragraph which
called for a watchdog committee.
Total Position Urged.
The Rev. Charles w. Leroy,
former rector of All Saints
Church. Chevy Chase. urged its
adoption to get the total posi-
ton of the church before the
country" and avoid emotional
outbursts by individual clergy
men against criticism.
Roger McWhorter of All Souls
Church and H. B. Teegarden OF
Ascension and st. Agnes Church
objected to recommendation of
the National Councils statement
for study. Mr.. McWhorter felt
the statement questioned Con-
greSS' right to investigate COM
munism. and Mr.. Teegarden said
the churches were not in their
proper sphere" in issuing the
statement.
The convention adopted the
resolution by voice vote.

Bill Asks Protection
For Reporters Against
Revealing Sources
By Allen Drury

Representative Heller. Demo-
crat, of New York plans to in
troduce a bill today which would
give newSmen the right to with
hold testimony on the sources
of their information except in
cases involving crime and ma
tional security.
The bill would protect re-
porters testifying in Federal
court, before Federal grand
juries and at congressional in
veStigationS. They would be
privileged to refuse testimony
unless a Federal court rules that
"such disclosure is necessary in
the interest Of national security.
or to avoid the concealment of a
crime, or to enable the defendant
to make his defense"
A similar bill was introduced
by Representative Heller in 1851.
It applied only to testimony
given in court, and was allowed
to die without action in the
House Judiciary Committee.
IL States Have Such Laws.
In introducing his new bill, Mr.
Heller planned to point out that
only IL of the 48 States protect
neWSmen with the same CON
f1dence" laws which apply to the
relationship between lawyer and
client, doctor and patient, and
priest and penitent. The States
are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Indiana, Kentucky.
Maryland, Michigan, Montana,
New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania.
LAS the matter stands today" +"
he said in a prepared state
ment "newspapermen in the
United States have practically
no protection or guarantee
against abridgment of the privi-
lege to refuse to disclose their
sources, whereas in reality this
privilege should be recognized as
an inalienable right"
Atom Spy Trial Cited.
Mr.. Heller said his interest in
the problem was aroused during
trial Of the convicted atom spies,
Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. At
that time, he related, Columnist
Leonard Lyons was directed to
disclose the sources of certain
information he had received on
a confidential basis concerning
Mrs. Rosenberg. When he re-
fused, Federal Judge John C..
Knox said Mr.. Lyons was ap-
parently claiming the same right
exercised by doctors. lawyers
and priests.
Il have gone into the law very
carefully" Judge Knox said,
land find he has no such privi-
lege."
Mr.. Heller said passage of his
bill would prove Congress faith
and trust in the American press.
"Newspapermen," he said, "are
not asking for protection based
on mere relevance or pertinence
of material. They want a specific
safeguard which will give them
the necessary protection of the
law. They want ofdcial recogni-
ton of a traditional privilege
which will strengthen the free
dom of the press in this coun-

The cases are becoming fewer,
however.
For seventy years or more the
Railroad Company ran an accom-
mediation train north every morn
ing except Sunday at 8 o'clock.
The traffic on this train was ex-
ceptionally good. Usually this
train had about sixty or eighty
passengers, all bound for the cit
les or for points along the way.
Every morning this train carried
a good catarie of passengers and
it appeared to be paying train,
but it was removed and no system
of travel put in it's place. 1t is
quite natural that the public
should be wondering why this train
was taken off when it ran to ac-
commodate the school children,
business people and others whose
need was to go north right after
breakfast. And lot of other peo-
pie have found this train conven-
lent to go to Wilmington, Philadel-
phia or New York on business,
some purchase goods or do regular
shopping for the day or week.
Since taken off, it is needless to
say that this train has been badly
missed and many are demanding
that it be put back on the schedule
again. And the result is = they
say they will keep up the fight un-
til the train is restored.
