Foreign Policy Issues Stressed
By Stevenson in Pennsylvania

real issues in this campaign from
behind the slogans and the
catch-words in which they are
camouhaged."
Duty To Shed Light.
Country must be placed above
party. Mr.. Stevenson said, and
"decency above ambition" dur
ing the weeks of the campaign.
"If it is the Republicans choice
to generate heat, it is still our
duty to shed light" he said
I'VE know and have full regard
for the value of vigorous political
debate. But false, accusing cries
of treachery and murder and
treason. are not the language of
democratic debate. They are the
language of hate-the epithets
of enemies.
And if the time ever comes
when Republicans really regard
Democrats or Democrats regard
Republicans as enemies, then
truly the processes of democracy
will stop-for those processes re-
quire, as between the two great
parties. compromise, cooperation
and respect"

Youth Council Plans
Special Classes for
Potential DeIinquents

The Commissioners Youth
Council is about to begin a new
"pilot project" in which District
Government agencies will join
in an effort to prove that the
public school system needs more
special classes to accommodate
ill-adjusted, potentially delin-
quent children.
Preliminary plans for the
undertaking were laid at a coun-
Gil meeting yesterday.
Thomson School, at Twelfth
and L streets NV. and Walker
Jones School. at First and L
streets NV, were designated as
testing grounds.
Under the racial Indignation
program plotted by school au-
thorities. about half of the esti-
mated total enrolment of 1000
at both schools will be Negro
children, according to Mrs. Nina
B. Trevvett, executive director
of the council.
Three Special Glasses.
Three of these special classes
already are we'll established at
Thomson, according to Mrs.
Trevvett. One handles the slow
learner child; another, those
children who find readings diff
cut, and the third, children who
are emotionally disturb e d.
Walker-Jones also has a special
class for slow-learners.
The new element to be in
jected under the pilot project
involves the cooperation of
five District agencies aside from
the school system and the Youth
Council.
For the child assigned to the
special classes of the two
schools:
/. The Public Health Depart
ment will provide complete ply
steal examinations and any fol-
loW-up checks deemed necessary.
Special Study of Problems.
2. Public Welfare will detail
social workers on request of
teachers to study the home life
or other social aspects bearing
on special class pupils.
3. Metropolitan Police will es-
tablish two Offices near both
schools to facilitate investiga-
tons into truancy problems.
4. The Recreation Department
will provide additional facilities
wherever possible when requested
to accommodate the problem
child" at the two schools.
5. Juvenile Court will supply

GruneWaId Appeals
To Court 10 Halt
ShadoWing by U.S..

Henry w. (the Dutchman)
Grunewald yesterday asked the
u. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia to order
the Justice Department to stop
shadowing him.
Grunewald is free under
$4,000 bond. pending a hearing
on a Government move to take
him to New York to face a con-
spiracy charge. He also is under
indictment in the District on
perjury charges. growing out OF
an investigation into the use Of
influence with the Internal
Revenue Bureau.
In yesterdays action, Attorney
William H. Collins complained
that Justice Department agents
have been parked night and day
outside Grunewald's home at
1909 Club drive, Chevy Chase,
since his release under bond on
August 81.
The complaint asserts that
agents follow him where ever
he goes, and note the names of
those with whom he talks.
Walkie talkies are used by the
agents patrolling around his
home, the complaint declares,
and there are indications his
telephone wires are being tapped.
All this is an invasion
of Grunewald's Constitutional
rights and has created en-
barrasSment for him and his
family in the neighborhood, the
complaint charged.
The court was asked to for
bid continuance of the alleged
actions. Later, Mr.. Collins told
reporters the Justice Department
has agreed to call off the agents.
But, he said. he is keeping the
complaint alive until he makes
sure the shadowing is stopped.

By the Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. o.
The Democratic Party's Nation
wide campaign was launched
last night with the assertion by
Adlai Stevenson, nominal head
of the party, that the most i'm
portant task this fall is ito give
direction again to a foreign
policy which wallows aimlessly
and dangerously while a bunch
of pickering helmsmen quarrel
at the Wheel"
The party's 1852 nominee for
President promised that Demo-
Gratis this fall will talk issues
whether the Republicans
want to or not"
Mr.. Stevenson spoke before
5000 persons who paid 500 a
plate each at Democratic fund
raising dinner officially starting
the campaign of 36-year-old
Senator George M. Leader for
Governor of Pennsylvania.
The Keystone State has had
only one Democratic State ad-
ministration in nearly 60 years.
"Time for a Change"
Mr.. Stevenson took note Of
this and, borrowing from a Re-
publican campaign slogan of
1852, quipped that In Pennsyl-
vania in particular it is really
time for a change"
The speech by the former H.
linois Governor was the first
major address by a party leader
since Labor Day, the traditional
opening day of campaigning.
Admitting that he is no
great admirer" of the Eisen-
hover administrations recent
conduct of foreign affairs. Mr..
Stevenson said he feels mo in
clination" to blame the Repub-
licans for the Indo-China situa-
ton.
Nor am I even tempted in
this direction by Vice President
Nixon's newest nonSense-that
the Democrats are responsible
for the loss of Indo-China." he
added.
He followed his remark about
foreign policy walloWing aim
lessly by saying that Pennsyl-
vania in particular should be
aware of this "for you have one
Senator in each wing"
Il mean in each major wing
for there seem to be more wings
in Republican foreign policy
than boarding house chicken"
Pennsylvania's two Senators
the Edward Martin and James
H. Duff.
Appealing to fellow Democrats
to stick to tissues" this fall,
Mr.. Stevenson declared:
1--WE face the obligation to lift
this campaign considerable
notch above the level of SANDER
and ugly. bitter name-calling to
which our political dialogue has
sunk in recent months
The job of the Democrats, he
added, "is to bring forth the

Plea 10 Free D. {. 81
Facing Execution in
Japan Is Denied

Federal Judge Henry A.
Schweinhaut today turned down
a plea to free a Washington
soldier scheduled to be executed
in Japan for the 1850 murder
of a Korean civilian.
The soldier is Pvt. John E
Day, jr., Is, colored, whose
,, mother, Mrs. Martha Day. lives
at 1849 Stanton terrace Sc.
Days counsel, Burr T. Ansell
said he would appeal Judge
Schweinhaut's decision to the
U. S. Court of Appeals for the
! District of Columbia.
Execution to Be Stayed.
Meanwhile, Days execution
would automatically be stayed
, during the process of the appeal
it was explained to the court by
Assistant United States Attorney
Alexander Stevas, representing
the Government.
: Judge Schweinhaut's refusal
to order a writ of habeas corpus
was on grounds that the U. 5.
District Court for the District OF
Columbia does not have Jurls-
diction. The Government, in OPP
posing issuance of a writ. had
asked it's denial and dismissal
of a habeas corpus petition on
grounds that jurisdiction OF the
Federal Court here in a habeas
corpus proceeding is confined to
the District of Columbia.
Nh. Ansell said that If the
court here does not have juris-
diction, no court does, and that
"the writ of habeas corpus
guaranteed by the Constitution
is suspended for all American
soldiers serving abroad"
Last month. Judge Walter M.
Bastian of the U. S. District
Court ordered Government au-
thorities to show cause" why
a habeas corpus writ should not
be issued. The habeas corpus
matter came up today as a result
of the "Show-cause" order. AS
result of the habeaS corpus petit
ton having been filed in the first
place, Days execution, scheduled
for last month, was stayed.
Says He Couldn't See Client.
Had a habeas corpus writ been
finally issued, a hearing would
have been held on the writ and
various contentious made in the
petition. Among contentious
made by. Mr.. Ansell in behalf of
Day was that he had been unable
to talk to his client while repre-
senting him in reviews of Days
court conviction for slay-
ing the Korean.
Attorney Ansell also contended
In the petition that his client had
not been represented by am
counsel during a review of the
conviction by the commanding
general in Korea.
Day was convicted by the
court martial in 1851 of fatally
shooting Lee Hak Chun when the
man defended his wife against
the GIs advances, Day then
dubbed the woman with a gun.
for which he was convicted of
assault.
The court-martial opinion re-
ferred to the events of which
Day was involved at the time
of the Staying as "horrifying."
Baby Died Later.
The court-martial opinion re-
lated that after shooting the
Korean that Day had taken in
decent liberties with the mans
wife. The woman. the opinion
pointed out, had been carrying
her baby which Day threw on
the seat of a truck. The baby
died later, but Day was not
charged with the baby's death.
Days conviction has been up
held by the United States Court
of Military Appeals and affirmed
upon review by President Eisen-
hover.
