Court Denies Servicemen
New Trial

WASHINGTON, D. c. The
United States Supreme Court to-
day denied a new trial for the
two Negro air force servicemen
who were sentenced to death by
a military court in l949 for the
alleged "rape-murder" of White
civilian worker in Guam.
In denying the request of the
two convicted men, Staff Sgt.
Robert w. Burns and Pvt. Her
man Dennis, Chief Justice Vinson
in an opinion in which Justices
Clark, Burton and Reed joined
said that constitutional questions
raised in these cases had been
given careful consideration
by the military courts. For this
reason the court ruled that these
questions should not be consid-
cred de nova by civil court. Jus
tice Jackson concurred in the re-
suit reached, and Justice Minton
wrote separate concurring
opinion. Justice Douglas and Black
dissented. and Justice Frankfurt
Ter said the case should be set
down for reargument
The appeal, argued by NAACP
lawyers, Robert L. Carter, assis-
tant special counsel of New York
City and Frank Reeves of Wash
ington on February 4, asked the
high court to order the military
courts 10 reopen the case of Burns
and Dennis and TO give them
rew trial on the grounds that
their constitutional rights had
violated.

being held by the military in
Japan, were attached 10 the 18th

ALABAMA
MED SOCIETY
ADMITS NEGRO

FLORENCE. Ala. - (ANP) -
An au-white medical society here
last week lowered its color line
and admitted a Negro doctor.
He is DR.. l.. j. Hicks who was
admitted to the Lauderdale
County Medical Society. The vote
on DR.. Hicks was unanimous.
The 53-year-old DR.. Hicks al
ready has been permitted to treat
his patients il the city-county
operated Eliza Coffee Memorial

Most Alabama hospitals do not
permit Negro physicians to attend
patients admitted to the hospital
because colored doctors are not
members of county medical So

In voting to admit DR.. Hicks,

County Medical officer, said:

that many more Alabama county

UN Plans Inquiry
Into SLdUe Labor

UNITED NATIONS, n. Y
(NC) = BY a vote of 36 to 5,
member nations have adopted a
resolution calling for a full Unit
ed Nations inquiry into the find
ings of a special UN report on
slave labor in the Soviet Union
and three of its satellites.
While the resolution taken BY
the General Assembly's Social,
Humanitarian and Cultural com
mittee did not mention the guilty
parties, it did affirm the import
ance the United Nations attached
TO the abolition of all forced la
Dor.
1t invited early consideration of
the report as matter of urgen-
cy" by the Economic and Social
Council which meets in March,
1854, and by the International La
Dor Organization which co-sponsor-
ed the report.
A three-man panel, headed by
Sir Ramaswami Mudaliar of In
dis, compiled the 621 page doc
umentation of forced labor in Bull
garia, Czechoslovakia, Rumania
and the Soviet Union.

Sgt. George g. Malta of Brock
ton, Mass. was one of more than
20 CTS who appeared before the
committee in four days of testi-
mony that shocked the nation and
which was called utterly spurious
by Soviet U.N. Delegate Andrea Y.
Vishinsky.
At the same time the United Ma
tions voted 42-5 in favor of an
American-baeked resolution con-
demning atrocities by any govern
ment and expressing concern at re-
ports of atrocities in Korea.
Sergeant Malta told of reciting
his Rosary daily in a Red Chinese
prison camp and described how he
refused to give up his beads when
a guard tried to take them away
from him.
When the guard raised his rifle,
Sergeant Malta said, Il grabbed
the end of the bayonet and put it
against my heart and told the
guard he would have to get rid of
me first before he could get the
Rosary"

ciples and practices regarding the
problems of religious liberty in
the growing community of nations.
The first principle laid down by
the Pope concerned objective truth
and the obligation of individual
conseiences toward what is objec-
lively true and good. In this, he
said, there can be no compromise.
The second principle concerned the
practical tolerance of a variety of
religious beliefs and practices.
The Pope chose as the occasion
for his remarks on this delicate
subject an audience he granted to
the fifth national convention of the
Union of Italian Catholic Jurists.
He received them in Consistorisl
Hall at the Vatican.
THE duty TO repress religious
and moral devisfions," the Pope
declared, cannot be an Ui-
timate norm for action. N must
be subordinafed TO higher and
more general norms, which IN
SOME CIRCUMSTANCES permit

incident sent the guard away. Ser

Him" the sergeant replied.

in the Army in the hope of get
ting another crack at the Reds,
he told the committee. He is cur
rently on recruiting duty in his
home town.
His testimony included accounts
of meager rations and 400-mlle
death march in which so men died.
Among the Korean veterans who
testified before the committee,
many had tales of prayer and spir-
itual strength under the horrors of
Red beatings, mass murders and
torture. Two of the men reported
that nothing enraged the Red
guards so much "as hearing us
pray"
The men who testified were un-
derweight and still recovering from
wounds received under Red inn
prisonment. Some were on crutch-
es.
TesfifYins servicemen agreed
that the brutaIifies they wit

individual cases but were the

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. INC
Recommendations of Catholic in

The Assembly voted 54 to five tC

As a result of the vote the U.N
Secretary General will prepare anc

which drafted the charter.
However, the step toward char.
ter revision was generally agreed
to be a small one. Actual revis.

Catholic experts on international
affairs have repeatedly insisted
that the U.N. charter must be
amended if that world body is to

ment of permanent peace.
DR.. Raymond F. Mccoy, preSi

that 'the main source of the U.N. s

Liberals Score
Appointments
In Costa Rica
Hit Presidents Selection
OF Three Catholics To
Fill Cabinet Positions

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - MC)-
Inclusion OF three prominent Cath
olics in the cabinet of newly
inaugurated President Jose Figue-
res has been criticized in extreme
liberal circles known to be hostile
to the Catholic Church.
The Catholic cabinet members
are Minister of Interior VoIio San
cho, Minister of the Treasury and
Economy Jorge Rossi Chavarria,
and Minister OF Education Uladis-
lao Gomez SOlano The first two
were formerly active members of
different Catholic Action organiza-
tionS.
Charges that the governments
"impartiality" had been leopard
ized' in liberal eyes by the Catho-
lie appointments appeared in the
daily newspaper, La Nacion, which
is under ultra-liberal control and
threw its full support behind the
defeated presidential candidate
Fernando Castro Cervantes i'm the
recent election.
La Nacion, which is the mouth
piece of Costa Rica's moneyed in
terests, did not itself openly criti-
cize the appointment of three Cath
olics to the cabinet, but printed an
article from the leftist magazine,
TEMPO, of Mexico City. which has
been accused of frequently publish.
ing articles of clearly communist
inspiration.
The TEMPO article charged that

ed in all churches and oratories on
all Saturdays of the Holy Year with
only four sets of exceptions.
A votive Mass is one other than
the Mass normally specified for the

Mass in church or oratory. The
decree is not a blanket faculty

The privilege was granted by
the Pontiff, according to the de-
cree, "in order that the devotion of
the Christian people toward the
Virgin Mother Mary may every day
grow more intense and that not
only private but public devotion
may be shown to the most sweet
Mother"
Four Exceptions
The four exceptions stipulated
by the decree are the following;
when the Saturday falls on ID a
feast rating a double of the first
or second class, ~ a privileged
feria, (3) a vigil or octiye Of the
first or second class, and (4) the
feastday, vigil or octave of a feast

The long-stsnding privilege lor
votive Masses permits them only
on a day when the feast is below
the rank of double.
The new privilege extends TO
all Saturdays between December
3. 1883, and December 8. 1854.

other oious exercises in honor of
