Musmanno Protests
Courts Reversal Of
Nelson Conviction
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26.-Jus-
tice Michael A. Musmanno Of
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
demanded today that his col
leagues reverse the action void
ing the conviction Of Commu-
mist Steve Nelson on sedition
charges.
Justice Musmanno termed the
courts decision "a threat to the
security of our commonwealth
and the Nation. In 37-page
protest to the high court. the
former war crimes jurist said:
I'm all my 80 years as a law
yer and judge, I never saw so
drastic and State-shaking a de-
cision so utterly devoid of au-
thority to support it, so lacking
in logic to sustain it. so deficient
in reason to warrant it and so
empty of facts to compel its ut
terance."
Will Personally Appeal.
Justice Musmanno said he will
go to Washington tomorrow to
personally file the appeal before
the United States Supreme Court.
District Attorney James F. Ma
lone of Allegheny County also
said he will file an appeal be-
fore the high tribunal.
The Pennsylvania Supreme
Court yesterday overruled a YER
dict of the Allegheny County
Court which had been upheld
by the State Superior Court. The
high court held sedition against
the United States is a Federal
oftenSe and should be proSecut-
ed only in Federal courts.
Convicted on 1919 Law.
Nelson was convicted of at
tempting to overthrow the Gov
eminent of the United States
by force and violence contrary to
the 1919 State Sedition act.
He was sentenced to pay
$4,000 fine. costs of prosecution
amounting to $4,000 and serve
a prison term Of 20 years.
Justice Musmanno prosecuted
Nelson IN the lower courts as a
private citizen. Justice Mus
manno was a witness against
Nelson and did not participate
in the States high court con-
sideration of the case. Justice
John c. Bell disSented.

Capital Transit Wins
Right 10 Contest Ban
On Raise for Officers

The Capital Transit Co. won
the right in Federal Court yes
terday to challenge a Govern
ment order voiding large pay
raises for FIVE top-ranking
transit officers.
Judge Edward M. Curran Of
the U. s. District Court for the
District of Columbia. turned
down a Government request that
the company's petition for q
summary ruling be dismissed.
The judge said he could not
throw out the transit petition.
since an identical case involving
Grand Central Aircraft Corp. is
now being considered by the Su-
preme Court.
ESA Laws Involved.
The Economic Sterilization
Administration, now defunct, on
May 8. 1858. charged that Cap
ital Transit violated wage sta
bilization laws by granting the
pay raises in 1852.
The transit firm contended
ESA went out of business on
April 30. 1858. with the proviso
1t had until october 20. 1853. to
clean up any unfinished business.
1t was not empowered. their brief
asserted. to institute new cases
after the April 80 date.
Powers Questioned.
Then two weeks before the six
month grace period expired
President Eisenhower transferred
all ESA functions to the Office
of Defense Mobilization. which
continued to press the case. This
action, Capital Transit asserted,
was beyond the power of the
President. in the absence of ex-
press statutory power.
The five officials involved are:
j. A. B. Broadwater. raised
from $4,000 to $4,000: Louis
Wolfson. from $25, 900 to $40, 900;
Doran S. Weinstein, from $4,000
