Edelman, who once lost In a
Supreme Court opinion on what
Justice Jackson described as a
"vagrancy case"
Those two attorneys protested
that the convening of the special

filing of the Justice Departments
application gave the defense no
real opportunity to present an
adequate answer. They asserted
it was "unseemly haste"
Black Questions Time.
Justice Black, the only one
Of the nine justices who objected
to lthe holding of the special
term yesterday, asked Assistant
Solicitor General Stern whether
the department attorneys
thought they had sufficient time
to examine the question at issue.
Mr.. Stern replied they had
been able to arrive at an ade-
quate understanding and belief
that the question mentioned by
Justice Douglas lacked substance
under the circumstances. The
department spokesman insisted
that the question did not justify
the granting of a stay of exc
cution, especially after the Su-
preme Court on five previous oc-
casionS had refused to review
the Rosenberg convictions and
sentences.
Mr.. Stern maintained that the
Rosenbergs could have been tried
legally and properly only under
the 1917 Espionage Act. He
cited the continuing" nature
of the espionage conspiracy and
the evidence that defense secrets
other than atomic information
were involved. He said the
Justice Department would have
been a Laughing stock" If it
had tried to prosecute the
Rosenbergs under the 1916 law.

TALLY with Douglas that the new
question of law was substantial
and that the execution should
have been stayed at least until
the lower court considered the
question.
The court went into closed
conference again early today
prior to it's return to the bench
at noon.
The secret session, starting at
1890 am, was a continuation
of three hours of deliberation
late yesterday following three
hours of oral argument. Although
a conference of this kind is not
unusual in court proceedings, it
nevertheless added to the sus-
pense.
Crowd Arrives Early.
A crowd began lining up at
$50 am. in the Supreme Court
corridor in the hope of getting
into the courtroom at noon.

ency. This clemency petition

White House now. The Prasi-
dent last February rejected an
earlier clemency request.
The only other apparent
course open to the Rosenbergs
might be for the 35-year- old
husband and 37-year-old wife to
admit their guilt and tell all they
know about atomic spying. But
the Rosenbergs insist they are
innocent, they that were con-
victed largely by perjured testi-
mony, and that they would rath-

Rosenbergs should have been

by Chairman Chauncey w. Reed

Mr.. Reed acted promptly after
his committee received the reso-
luton. but past records put the
odds against the measure reach
ing the stage of formal congress

To head the subcommittee, Mr..
Reed named Representative Gra-
ham, Republican, of Pennsylva-

far from being unprecedented.

The Constitution requires that

Justice Douglas then read his
dissent. In a firm voice, occa-

observed that he had given con-
siderably more study to the new
question at issue than had his
colleagues. He recalled that he
began, studying it last Monday

Justice Douglas said the record
of the case showed that part of
the conspiracy involving the
Rosenbergs continued after the
enactment of the 1916 Atomic

was enough to require that the
couple should have been tried
under the 1946 statute and, if
convicted, should not have been
sentenced to death unless a jury
so recommended.
The courts opinion overturn-
ing the stay of execution grant

NEW YORK, June 19.-Police

call girls and a notebook which
they said contained names of
some persons high in Govern
ment posts in Washington."
The door to the $4,000 month,
aforementioned patio apartment
on East Seventy-seventh street,
off Park Avenue, was equipped
with five locks. The police said
they succeeded by ruse in get
ting the women to open the door.
Police identified the women as
Lea Howard, 26, a platinum
blond, formerly of Cranston,
r. l., who said she was a model,
and Eleanor j. Parks, %, orig
inally of Dayton, Ohio, a Negro.
who said she was an entertainer
and singer.
They were held on charges of
possessing narcotics. Two Fed
eral narcotics agents who re-
portedly conducted a four month
investigation Joined police in the
raid and told of finding a guam
tity of narcotics.
Two male guests and woman
found in the luxury apartment
were released after questioning.
Police said the looseleaf note
book they found contained the
names of prominent businessmen

They would not disclose the
names.
The two women had been sub

Here is how the new law will
work:
/. Employees who had less than
80 days of accumulated annual
leave at the beginning of 1858
will be allowed to save UP to 80
days.
2. Employees who had at least
80 days accumulated annual
leave at the start of 1853 may
not accumulate any additional
leave. They have until Decem-
ber 81 to get down to the leave
accumulation they had at the
beginning of this leave year. For
example, an employe who had
As days of accumulated leave on

at least As days by December 81.
8. Employees will be allowed to
use their excess leave during the
Christmas and New Year holi-
day. Formerly, they had to use
it by the last day of the final pay
period of the year, which usually
occurred before Christmas. Now,
they may use the excess leave
until the first pay period of the
new year.
T. Employees will continue to
get paid in cash for all the ter
minal leave they have earned
upon departure from the Gov
ernment. The conferees re-

Sharp Rise Ordered
In Parcel Post Rates
To Foreign Nations
BY the Associofsd Press

Postmaster General Summer
field today announced a sharp
increase in United States sur
face parcel post rates to foreign
destinations, estimated to in
crease charges by SIT million a
year.
Air parcel post is not affected.
The increase will be effective
August /.
The changes were ordered by
Mr.. Summerfield under author

eral by Congress to adjust over
seas postage rates at any time,
at his discretion.
Basic Rate Increased.
The present basic American
surface parcel post rate to all
countries of the world is IA cents
for the first pound and IA cents
for each additional pound. The
new basic rate will be As cents
for the first pound and % cents
for each additional pound or
fraction of a pound.
In addition to the basic rate,
this country in some cases COL
lects additional transit charges
or surcharges on behalf of inter-
mediate countries which impose
special fees for handling United
States parcels across their terri
tories.
Mr.. Summerfield announced
last night that he is making
effective October l the 36 per
cent advance in domestic parcel
post rates authorized by the In
terstate Commerce Commission
earlier this week.
To Ask Domestic Raises.
The changes in both domestic
and foreign package service are
designed to help the department
pull out of a current 5000 mil
lion-a-year operating deficit.
Mr.. Summerf1eld has announced
he intends to go to Congress for
general increases in other do
mestic postage rates.
He said the changes in inter-
national parcel post are designed
to end many inconsistencies" in
relation to domestic rates. AS an
example, he said it is now
cheaper to send a one-pound
parcel 5000 miles from San
Francisco to London than to
transmit the same package from
San Francisco to Oakland, five
miles across the bay.
The new Ascent basic rate
compares with charges of II
cents for a one-pound parcel in
coming from Argentina. IS cents

from Great Britain and So cents
