Warren BuIks
Ship Sole PLeo
By the Associated Press

Chief Justice Warren late
yesterday declined to entertain
a motion for removal of lower
court order now preventing the
proposed sale of the Waterman
Steamship Co. of Mobile, Ala.
The action left the compli-
Gated legal situation surround
ing the company exactly the
same as the United States Court
of Appeals ordered earlier in the
afternoon: The sale cannot be
made at least until Monday.
A Supreme Court spokesman
said Chief Justice Warren gave
no reason for the refusal to let
the company file for a writ of
mandamus to dissolve a District
Court temporary order now for
bidding the sale. His action.
however, presumably does not
bar the company from bringing
the case back to the high court
later.
The Waterman firm wants to
sell out to the c. Lee Co., a new
Alabama corporation, for $42
million. Waterman is a giant
cargo carrier.
The Appeals Court action was
to continue until Monday the
temporary District Court order
blocking the sale. That order
was obtained by Mrs. Elizabeth
Model of New York City, a mi
nority stockhoIder.

Roosevelt 'SeIIout'
At Yultu Is Denied

CHICAGO, April 90 (P.-
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler yesterday told a
questioner: "For any American
to say that Franklin D. Roose-
welt deliberately sold us out at
Yalta is doing violence to his
American citizenship"
Mr.. Butler was questioned
from the floor after an address
at the Executives Club. In his
address, he took issue with what
he called 1.-THE myth which al
leges that the Democratic Party
is against business"
A member of the audience
asked:
How can the Democratic
Party look the people in the
face since the Yalta disclosures"
Mr.. Butler responded that
"the papers disclosed nothing
that had not been generally
known for about 10 years. This
was generally realized by the
great metropolitan newspapers,
particularly the New York Times,
which performed such a great
public service by printing the
text in one edition"
