suance of the conspiracy long
after the new act became
effective. Third, the overt acts
of the con -conspirator, Sobell,
were alleged to have taken
place between January, 1916,
and May, 1948. But the proof
against Sobell, as against the
RoSenbergs. extended well be-
yond the effective date of the
new act. In short, a substan-
tial portion of the case against
the Rosenbergs related to acts
in pursuance Of the conspiracy
which occurred after August
!. 1916.
I do not decide that the
death penalty could have been
imposed on the Rosenbergs
only if the provisions of s 10
of the Atomic Energy Act of
1916 were satisfied. I merely
decide that the question is
substantial one which should
be decided after full argument
and deliberation.
It is important that the
country be protected against
the nefarious plans of spies
who would destroy us.
It is also important that be-
fore we allow human lives to
be Snuffed out we be sure-em-
phatically Sure-that we act
within the law. If we are not
sure, there will be lingering
doubts to plague the consci-
ence after the. event.
I have serious doubts wheth-
er this death sentence may be
imposed for this offense ex-
cept and unless a jury recon-
mendS it. The RoSenbergs
should have an opportunity to
litigate that issue.
I will not issue the write of
habeas corpus. But I will
grant stay effective until the
question of the applicability of
the penal provisions of $40 of
the Atomic Energy Act to this
case can be determined by the
Evening star., 1953-06-17
Cannot Agree Point
Is a Frivolous One

This question is presented to
me for the first time on the eve
of the execution Oh the Rosen-
bergS without the benefit of
briefs or any extended re-
search. I cannot agree that it
is a frivolous point or without
substance. 1t may be that not
every death penalty imposed
for divulging atomic secrets
need follow the procedure pre-.
scribed in $40 of the Atomic
Energy Act. If the crime was
complete prior to the pas
sage of that act, possibly the
old Espionage Act would apply.
But this case is different in
three respects: First, the
offense charged was a con-
Spiracy commencing before but
continuing after the date of
the new act. Second, although
the overt acts alleged were
committed in 1914 and in 1945,
the Governments case showed
acts Of the Rosenbergs in pur-

z Killed and 6 Hurt
In Denver Area Storm
BY the Assoeiated Press

DENVER, June 1.-Two per-
sons were killed by lightning and
at least six others injured as a
series of violent electrical storms
exploded over the Denver area
late yesterday.
Myrna Gordon. %, member OF
a girls softball team, was killed
by a bolt of lightning at city
park. Harley Street, the coach,
and three girl members of the
team were shocked and burned.
The other victim of the storm
was Charles o. BARN, jr., 81.
Two persons standing near him
in an open field were slightly in
jured.
Evening star., 1953-06-17
Points Out That Jury
Didn't Recommend Deoth

Neither of those conditions
is satisfied in this case as the
jury did not recommend the
death penalty nor did the in
dictment charge that the of
tense was committed with an
intent to injure the United
States. II the Atomic Energy
Act Of 1916 is applicable to the
prosecution Of the Rosenbergs,
the District Court unlawfully
imposed the death sentence.
The Department Of Justice
maintains that the Espionage
Act is applicable to the indict-
ment because all of the overt
acts alleged took place before
the passage Of the Atomic En-
ergy Act sof 1916. Petitioner
maintains that since the in
dictment was returned Subse-
quent to the Atomic Energy
Act and since the conspiracy
alleged, though starting prior
to that time, continued there
after. the lighter penalties of
the new Act apply.
Curiously, this point has
never been raised or presented
to this Court in any of the
earlier petitions or applica-
tions. The first reaction is that
it If it was not raised previous
ly, it must have no substance
to it. But on reflection I think
1t presents a considerable ques-
ton. One purpose of the
Atomic Energy Act was to
ameliorate the penalties i'm
posed for disclosing atomic Sc
crets. AS S. Rep. No. 1911.
10th Cong. I'd Sess., p. %,
stated, the problem in drafting
Section 10 was to protect the
common defense and securi-
ty" and yet assure Sufficient
freedom Of interchange be-
tween scientists to assure the
Nation of continued scientific
progress"
The Rosenbergs obviously
were not engaged in an ex-
change of scientific informa-
ton in the interests of science.
But Congress lowered the level
of penalties to protect all those
who might be charged with
the unlawful disclosure of
atomic data. And if the Ros-
enbergs are the benef1ciaries,
it is merely tn eresult of the
application OF the new law
with an even hand. In any
event, Congress prescribed the
precise conditions under which
the death penalty could be i'm.
posed. And all violators-Com-
munists as we'll as non Com
munists-are. entitled to that
protection.

The committee acted in send

The committee rejected re-

sion of atomic secrets can be
punished by death only upon
recommendation of jury and
in cases where the offense was
committed with an intent to in
jure the United States.
Neither of these conditions, {"
Justice Douglas stated, ''iS sat-
iSfied in this case as the jury did
not recommend the death pen
atty nor did the indictment
charge that the offense was COM
mitted with an intent to injure
the United States. If the Atomic
Energy Act of 1916 is applicable
to the prosecution of the Rosen-
bergs, a District Court unlaw-
fully imposed the death sent
ence."
Attorneys Are Gratified.
Justice Douglas noted that the
Justice Department contends that
the Espionage Act applies in the
Rosenberg case because all of the
alleged overt acts took place be-
fore the passage of the Atomic
Energy Act. Attorneys for the
Rosenbergs contended that the
Indictment was returned subSe-
quent to the Atomic Energy Act
and that the lighter penalties of
the later law apply in this in
stance.
Rosenberg attorneys told re-
porters at the Supreme Court
that they were naturally grati-
fed" by the stay. They an
nounced, however, that they
would study the decision more
closely and probably file further
petitions with the high court at
some future date. These petit
tions, Mr.. Finerty indicated. prob
ably would ask for a review of
specific points rejected during
the last three weeks by the u. S.
Court of Appeals in New York.
The attorneys commended Mr..
Farmer and Mr.. Marshall for
having filed their own petition
at the request of Irwin Edelman,
Los Angeles resident who be-
came interested in the Rosen-
berg case and wrote a pamphlet
Freedoms Electrocution."
Soviet Gets Into Act.
On the national and world
scene, the Rosenberg case has
been attracting great attention
during the last "a hours.
Soviet newspapers, mentioning
the case for the first time, de-
scribed the Rosenbergs as vic
tins Of war hysteria. Com
munist-controlled Poland offered
the Rosenbergs asylum, if the
United States freed them. The
State Department rejected the
offer as an "impertinence" and
a Red propaganda scheme.
President Eisenhower was
visited by four clergymen for 80

Alleged Overt Acts.
Occurred in 1914 and 1945.
The indictment, which was
returned in 1851. charged a
conspiracy to violate s 80 (a)
with an intent to communicate
information that would be used
to the advantage Of a foreign
nation, viz, Soviet Russia. The
conspiracy was alleged to have
continued from June 6, 1914 to
and including June Is, 1850.
The overt acts of the Rosen-
bergs which were alleged took
place in 1914 and 1945.
On August I, 1916, the
Atomic Energy Act became
effective. Section 10 (b) CD
and CD provide:
