Alien Denied
Immunity Plea
.InArmyCuse

Judge George w. Latimer OF
the United States Court of Mill
tary Appeals yesterday ruled
that a foreign civilian testifying
before a military court may not
claim immunity under the Fifth
Amendment. even though his
testimony may incriminate him
in courts outside of American
jurisdiction.
Judge Robert E. Quinn re-
served opinion on the question
noting that special exceptions
might be made.
Judge Quinn concurred, how
ever, in the affirmation of guilt
of an Army sergeant whose APP
peal brought on Judge Latimer's
precedent-setting opinion. 1t was
the first time the appellate court
considered a foreign immunity
question.
Sergt. Dallas G. Murphy, jr.,
OF WlnnSboro, S. c., was found
guilty by a court martial of
wrongfully disposing of Govern
ment property. He sold Army
clothing to a Korean national
in Japan.
Sergt. Murphy's defense coun-
sci argued the appeal on the
grounds that a legal officer re-
fused the Koreans plea for i'm
without cause and that
this prejudiced the soldiers
cause and that this prejudiced
the soldiers case. Judge Lati-
mer held, however, that since
the United States holds no Grim
inal jurisdiction over foreign
ers testifying as witnesses. none
of the Koreans testimony could
be discriminating.
Had the Korean refused to
testify. however. he could have
been held in contempt of the

The sudden departure OF the
five Seamen last April 7 led to
the expulsion of two members of
the Soviet United Nations dele
cation. The Russians have pro-
tested this and the five Seamen,
after arrival in Russia. told
western reporters they returned
of their own free will.
But their shipmateS who re-
manned in the United States dis
puted this. Mr.. Solovyev said he
told Mr. zaroubln yesterday that
the Soviet secret police must
have frightened his five ship
matters into saying such things.
I'VE know they wouldn't tell
such lies on their own." the
chunky blond youngster said.
Mr.. Tatamikov said he got
tired Of Mr.. Zaroubin's pleadings
during yesterdays interview. He
said he told Mr.. Zaroubin. Leave

The immigration hearing was
arranged yesterday ostensibly as
a routine parole check-in. Mr..
Zaroubin got wind of 1t and re-
quested that he be allowed to be
