The Political Picture
By Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. A.
Democrat Farmer Laborites,
convinced they will re-elect Sen
ator Hubert H. Humphrey and
greatly encouraged by the big
showing the DIP candidates
made in the September primary.
are hoping to elect their guber-
material candidate and wrest
two House seats from the Re-
publicanS.
If they elect a Governor it
will be a crushing blow for the
Republicans who have held that
Office since 1889.
It's going to be quite job
to defeat Gov. c. Elmer Ander-
son, Republican, who is running
for reelection. The Republican
Governors over 16 years have
given the State good administra-
tion-a contrast to the Farmer
Labor administration which pre-
ceded Harold Stassen's 1888
victory. Gov. Anderson is a
Minnesota version of Massachu-
sets Cal Coolidge. He talks
mighty little. This has led his
Democratic opponent, Orville L.
Freeman, and Senator Hum
phrey. Mr.. Freeman's particular
sponsor, to cry out against Mr..
Anderson's campaign silence.
The Governor paid no attention
for while, but recently he
said that he believes the election
issue "is not who can talk the
most or shout the loudest, but
who can do the most and do the
best"
Cite Primary Vote.
The DIP partisans are greatly
encouraged from the showing
their candidates made in the
September IA primary. The Of
fetal figures show that MinneSc ..
tans cast 642,00 ballots of which
351 ,389 were in the Democrat
Farmer Labor column and 290,-
SIT in the Republican. This is
the first time since the Demo-
Gratis and the Farmer-Laborites
combined ten years ago that
their primary vote has exceeded
the Republican total. Certainly
the result showed that the DIP
organization has improved. 1t
made an intensive drive, aided
by labor organizations, to get the
vote out on primary day.
The Republicans had no real
contest in their primary. Gov
Anderson was unopposed. State
Treasurer Val Bjornson had only
minor opposition for the Repub-
hean senatorial nomination. The
G. o. P. leaders point out, there
fore, there was no driving i'm
pulse to get their voters to the
polls.
On the other hand, the con-
test for the gubernatorial NOM
ination in the DIP was brisk, to
say the least, although it had a
one-sided result, with Mr.. Free
man winning by a big plurality
His opponent was Paul A. Ras-
mussen, State railroad and ware
house commissioner. Mr.. Free
man, however, was Senator
Humphreys handpicked can
didate for Governor. When
Humphrey was Mayor of Min
neapolis, Mr.. Freeman was his
secretary.

Ex-Premier LanieI
And 7 Aides Called
In Leak Inquiry
Military Magistrate
To Hear Former Leader
And Cabinet Ministers
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Oct. 4.-The military
magistrate investigating the SEN
sational leak of French defense
secrets to the Communists pre-
pared today to take testimony
from ex-Premier Joseph Laniel
and two of his ministers.
The former Laniel cabinet
members are Pierre-Henri Teit-
gen, who was deputy premier,
and Edmond Barrachin, formerly
minister of state for constitu-
tional reform.
Information repeatedly started
f1ltering to the Reds from high
defense counsels during the
Laniel administration. He took
Office in June, 1858, and resigned
after losing a vote of confidence
last June IL.
Journalist Is Charged.
Police said today the arrest of
Andre BaraneS, a Communist
newSpaperman, Is bringing to
light details on the pipeline by
which the Reds obtained top
secrets.
Baranes was charged formally
yesterday with endangering the
security of the state. Today po-
lice searched the Offices of his
employer, the newspaper Liberia
ton, and the home of the papers
managing editor, Emanuel
d'Astier de la Vigerie. He is dep
uty in the French National As
sembly from the pro-Communist
Progressive Party.
Neither the purpose nor the
results of the searches was re-
vealed.
Baranes was nabbed in East
ern France Saturday as he tried
to flee on a woman's red bicycle
to Switzerland.
Assembly Member Called.
Andre Hughes, a radical -
socialist member of the National
Assembly who granted asylum
to the journalist in his country
home near NeverS last week, also
will be called before the investi-
eating magistrate, police said.
Hughes said he sheltered Ba-
raneS after the man told him
his life was threatened. Baranes
at that time had already been
questioned by the magistrate
and freed. The warrant for his
arrest was issued last Friday.
Police sources said the jour-
nalist had confessed to being the
chief middleman in the trans
mission to the Communists OF
secret information on meetings
of the National Defense Council
Though the leaks began dur
ing the Laniel government, the
furor has posed grave new prob
lens for Premier Pierre Mendes-
France. The premier goes be-
fore special session of the Ma
tional Assembly Thursday to re.
port on his negotiations on Ger
man rearmament in London last
week.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-You would
not say that the London con-
ference has ended. More accu-
rately it exploded. Within min
utes of the close of the final ses-
sion foreign ministers were fly
ing off in all directions.
The occasion has been marked
by an almost complete absence
of the rotund pronouncements
and high-level post-mortems
that follow more leisurely in

other visiting ministers were
proceeding at a scarcely more
leiSurely pace back to their re-
spective capitals.

town, however, was an example

Lawyer Challenges
Secret Proceedings
In Juvenile Court
Proviso Unconstitutional ,
Mckenzie Says; Asks
Jury Trial for Boy, 9
Bx Joseph B. BYrnes

The constitutionality of a law
permitting Juvenile Court pro-
ceedings to be cloaked in Sec
recy was challenged in a mo-
tion filed today by attorney T.
Emmitt Mckenzie.
Acting in behalf of a 9-year-
old boy charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon "a
rock), the attorney demanded
his client be given a jury trial
in open court.
Mr. McKenzie's motion as
serted that Title II and Section
915 of the District of Columbia
Code, 1851 edition, violates the
Sixth Amendent.
Text of Section.
Section 915 states:
THE court Cuvenile) may
conduct the hearings in an in
formal manner, and may ad-
journ the hearing from time to
time. In the hearing of any case
the general public shall be ex-
cluded and only such persons
as have a direct interest in the
case and their representatives
admitted"
Mr.. Mckenzie admitted Sec
tion OILS was a law dllly enacted
by the Congress of the United
States. However, he said the
Congress did not have the legal
right to make Section 915 into
law since it has the effect of
amending the Constitution,
which can only be done by a
referendum of a majority of the
States.
Mr.. McKenzie's motion said he
felt constrained to call the at
tention of the court to Amend
ment Six of the Constitution"
That amendment provides:
I'm all criminal prosecutions.
the accused shall enjoy the right
to a speedy and public trial, by
an impartial jury of the State
and district wherein the crime
shall have been committed :"
Cites Decisions.
In citing several court deci-
sions to bear out his case, Mr..
Mckenzie told Municipal Judge
Nadine L. Gallagher, who was
substituting as Juvenile Court
judge, that the 9-year-old boy
did not have to show that a
closed trial would cause him any
damage. The lawyer contended
all that was necessary to be
proved to Juvenile Court was
that his client was denied a con-
stitutional right regardless of
whether it prejudiced his case
or not.
The motion cited Supreme
Court case in which the high
court stated that a traditional
Anglo-American distrust for Sc
cret trials has existed since the
founding of our Nation.
The boy was arrested on Sep
tember 7 after scrap over some
play money with a neighbor's
child. The grandmother of the
child stepped into the row and
the boy repeatedly threw a rock

Fifteenth street and Pennsyl-

About 20 years old, white and

He handed the teller, Robert

ordering him to fill a bag with
money, and put the note into

Mr.. Waller turned to the teller

Mr.. Waller crammed $1,000 in

considerable amount.

DENVER, Oct. 4.-Secretary
Of Defense Wilson said today
that the number of security risks
found in the Defense Depart
ment sis happily quite small in

Mr.. Wilson talked with report
ers briefly after conferring for
two hours with President Eisen-
hover at his work-and play va
cation headquarters.
He said he thought the secur-
ity risk situation in the Defense
Department was better" than
in other parts of the Govern
ment because "the military peo-
pie had little tougher attitude. "
He was asked how his "quite
small" estimate of the security
risks removed from the Defense
Department or under investiga-
ton there fitted in with recent
statements by Vice President
Nixon that the Eisenhower ad-
ministration had been kicking
Communists and security risks
out of the Government by the
thousands.
Procedures frightened
Mr.. Wilson said he was speak
ing of a quiet small" number
in proportion to size of the De-
fense Department. remarking
that, "there are over 4 million
of us" and that thousand still
would be a small percentage. He
told a questioner however, that
he did not mean to say there
were a thousand risks in the De-
fense Department.
He described assignment to
his chief counsel Of responsibility

defense plants as a frightening

ganization for getting it done" -"

papers voiced prayerful hopes
that the historic London Act"
signed here yesterday by the
nine foreign ministers will be
put speedily into final treaty
form and will win quick approx
al from the hesitant French
Assembly and other member
parliaments.
Wasting no time, French Pre-
mier Pierre Mendes-France and
West German Chancellor kon-
rad Adenauer hurried from the
conference closing to Paris and
Bonn and began organizing their
campaigns to win the key rati-
f1cations from their deputies.
In a surprise move, the French
leader called for his National
Assembly to meet Thursday
afternoon to hear his report on
the London meeting. The depu-
ties had been on vacation since
their rejection of the European
Defense Community pact on Au-
gust 30-34 days ago-set off
the chain of crisis events which
eliminated in yesterdays agree
ment.
France Almost Sure.
Mr.. Mendes-France was re-
ported -four -fifths sure" the
chamber of deputies would ap-
prove the sweeping new plan to
rearm West Germany. One high
French source said the Premier
would stake his governments life
on the outcome by making the
Assembly vote an issue of con-
f1dence, something he refused to
do for EDO.
Mr.. Adenauer scheduled a re-
port to his cabinet today and to
Parliament tomorrow. None of
the Parliaments can act, how
ever, until experts incorporate
the London agreements into
treaties for signing, probably
late this month.
In the legislatures of the other
seven conference nations-Brit-
ain, the United States, Canada,
Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg-the agree
ments are expected to have
smooth sailing.
Similar approval is anticipated
