sy the Assoeia,ed Pres.

Two lawyers without official
standing in the case raised the
legal point on which Supreme
Court Justice Douglas stayed
the execution of julius and
Ethel Rosenberg.
Emanuel H. Bloch, chief coun-
sci for the Rosenbergs, freely
acknowledged that the two "in-
truders and interlopers" de-
served full credit.
Fyke Farmer of Nashville,
Tenn, and Daniel G. Marshall
of Los Angeles, Calf, got into
the case without being invited
by the Rosenbergs or their regu-
lar counsel.
u. s. District Judge Irving r..
Kaufman, who sentenced the
Rosenbergs to death, branded
the two attorneys as "intruders
and interlopers."
Farmer won it," Mr.. Marshall
said yesterday.
He explained that Mr.. Far
mer, who has not been in active
law practice for years, persisted
in raising the point that Judge
kaufman lacked authority to
condemn the Rosenbergs with
out a recommendation for death
sentences by the jury.
Holds Law Superseded.
He said this was so because
the Atomic Energy Act of 1916
so provided and that it super
seded the espionage law under
which the Rosenbergs were SEN
fenced.
While crediting Mr.. Farmer
and Mr.. Marshall with raising
the legal point on which Justice
Douglas decided to issue a stay,
Mr.. Bloch said the two lawyers
have no official standing. Justice
Douglas statement bore this out.
Nowhere in the statement did
Justice Douglas mention Erwin
Edelman of Los Angeles, in
whose name Mr.. Farmer and
Mr.. Marshall filed their legal
papers.
Mr.. Edelmen was described as
next friend" to the Rosenbergs.
The attorneys told reporters

House Rejects Ban
On Free Medical Care
For Solvent Veterans
BY the Associated Press

The House today beat a pro-
posal to restrict free hospitali-
zation for war veterans who can
afford to pay for it and whose
disabilities aren't connected with
their military service.
BY a roll-call vote of 217 to
180, the House knocked from an
appropriations bill a provision
that would have allowed the Vet
Grams Administration to ignore
an oath by a veteran that he
can't afford to pay for hospitali-
Zation.
The VA may not ignore such
an oath now. Instead, it must
accept at face value a veterans
oath that he can't offord out
side treatment and furnish hos
pitalization when available.
Today's action insures the re-
tention of that setup.
The new proposal would have
let the VA go behind the oath
and refuse disqualification if it
believes the applicant can afford
to pay for it in a private hos
pital.
The bill itself was passed by
roll-call vote 394 to 2, and sent
to the Senate.
1t appropriates $5,284, 1863 ,664
for the Veterans Administration

and the Selective Service System

| Editors Chairman
Gratified by Easing
Of Secrecy Orders

Chairman j. r. Virgins of the
Freedom of Information Com.
mittee of the American Society
of Newspaper Editors said today
that the Justice Departments
recommendation for easing Gov
eminent secrecy orders shows q
healthier psychology and q
more liberal attitude"
Mr.. Virgins said in a state
ment that Attorney General
Brownell's suggestions to the
President for changes in the regu-
lations met some of the most
serious objections voiced by the
ASNE and the Associated Press
Managing Editors Association
when the secrecy ruling was first
issued by President Truman.
He described as particularly
gratifying" the proposals for
more explicit definitions of the
security classif1cations, the elm
ination of the restricted" cate
cory, the sections limiting use
of military classif1cations and
improved provisions for review.
Mr.. Virgins said some critics
regret that the situation was not
restored to the condition which
existed before Mr.. Truman's or
der, but he said he was convinced
the Justice Department had
carefully explored this course
and found it impracticable."
He added that it would be
necessary to keep working" on
those points in Government Sc
crecy regulations which still
cause criticism by the press.
The president of the Associated
Press Managing Editors Associa-
ton also called the Government
proposed new security informa-
ton program "a healthy step in
the right direction"
Norman E. Isaacs, managing
editor of the Louisville Times
and APME president. said in
Louisville that "in many ways
the Presidents announcement is
a vindication of the position
taken by the Managing Editors
Association"
Mr.. Isaacs said there is room
for improvement, but the Gov
ernment is obviously showing an
attitude of more cooperation"

Democrat Suggests
That President Clarity
ook-Burninu Policy
BY The Associated Press


Senator Jackson, Democrat, of
Washington said today President
Eisenhower "in fairness" ought
to clarity his declaration that
the State Department has his
permission to burn books con-
tanning downright Communist
propaganda.
Gen. Eisenhower made the
statement at a news conference
yesterday. He declined to say
whether his gibe at book burn
ers," in a speech at Dartmouth
College Sunday. was aimed at
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin. The President
said he never deals in personal
tiles.
Senator Mccarthy, who said
he was sure he was not the tar
get of Gen. Eisenhower remark,
said after the news conference:
Il think he has given a COM
mendable clarif1cation of the
Dartmouth speech, which ap-
parently has been misunderstood
by many neWsmen."
Senator Mccarthy amended
the comment later to "misun-
derstood by many persons.
Held Jibe at Mccarthy.
The Presidents denunciation
of book burners" had been in
terpreted widely as aimed at
Senator McCarthy's successful
fight to remove from United
States overseas libraries what
the Senator contends are 10000
Communist books" by some 200
authors.
Senator Mundt, Republican,
OF South Dakota, like Jackson a
member of the Mccarthy in
vestigations subcommittee, said:
Il don't think the President
had Senator Mccarthy or this
subcommittee in mind when he
made the Dartmouth speech.
The position he stated at his
news conference completely re-
inforceS the subcommittee po-
sition."
Senator Jackson, however, in
a separate interview, had this
to say:
President Eisenhower, in fair
ness to all concerned, ought to
state specifically what he did
have in mind. This controversy
over book burning has such tre-
mendous public Importance the
President and Secretary of State
Dulles should leave no ground
for misunderstanding of their
policy"
Seeks Entire Book List.
Senator Jackson said he in
tends to write to Mr.. Dulles "at
once" demanding that he make
public the whole list of books
banned from United States in
formation libraries abroad.
"AS understand it," Senator
jackson said, "the test isn't
what's in the printed words of
the books, but in who authored
them. But this never has been
made exactly clear"
Gen. Eisenhower said at the
news conference he did not advo-
cate in Sundays speech the use
of public funds to distribute
books which try to propagandize
readers into joining the Com
muIIistS. i {
II the State Department is
burning books which make such
open appeals. he added, it can
go ahead and burn them.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
United States must encourage a
very wide freedom of discussion
and in general should keep in it's
libraries abroad the same books
carried on library shelves at
home. But he said it would be
silly to expect this country to
follow a policy which would
make it a party to its own de-
struction.
The overseas libraries are op-
erSt"d by the State Department
in So countries to offer easy &C
cess to literature giving true
picture of the United States.
