Ban on Public
.Upsets Verdict
In Army Trial

I The United States Court of
Military Appeals today reversed
a court-martial finding of guilty
in the case of an Army sergeant
from whose trial the press and
the public in general was ex-
Guided.
The record of the trial was
lordered returned to the Judge
Advocate General for a rehear-
ing. The opinion was written by
Judge George w. Latimer and
Judge Ferguson and Quinn con-
cured.
The accused. 81 year old
Johnnie L. Brown, a military
police sergeant stationed at Fort
Leonard Wood, Mo-, was charged
with making obscene suggestions
over telephone to a telephone
operator. He originally was SEN
fenced to a dishonorable dis
charge, total forfeiture of pay
and confinement for six months.
At the court-martial, the law
officers ruled that because of the
testimony, all spectators would
be- barred from the court room.
Although he did not specifically
bar the press. the Appellate
Court determined that unless
otherwise worded, such a ruling
except in cases involving ma
tional security-could be inter-
preted as Suppression of the press.
When the issue is simply one

the court concluded. The tribu-
nal therefore held that Sergt.
Brown was denied his funda-
mental right to a public trial.

Denies That Dulles Warned Japan on South Kuriles

LONDON R-A high American official said Friday Secretary of State Dulles has warned Japan the United States could take pos session of Okinawa if Japan rec ognizes Soviet sovereignty over the southern Kurile Islands.
 But Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu denied Dulles has made such a statement.
 Dulles and Shigemitsu were in London for the Suez conference.
 The Russians occupied the southern Kurile Islands north of Japan in 1945 and refuse to re- linquish them. Control of the is lands is the main block in the prolonged Russian-Japanese peace treaty negotiations.
 The United States reportedly is worried that Japan, anxious to get the peace treaty, eventually may recognize Russian sovereign ty over the islands.
 The US. and 48 other non Communist countries signed a peace treaty with Japan in San Francisco in 1851. The Soviet Union attended the conference but would not sign.
 Japanese diplomats here de- nied the United States would have a claim to Okinawa if Tokyo rec ognizes Russian sovereignty over the southern Kuriles.

Government Run Pribilof Sealing
 Pays Off in Record Pelt Harvest

SEATTLE, R-The largest har- vest of fur seal pelts in modern history is going aboard ship in the Pribilof Islands for delivery to Seattle.
 This years harvest of 1l8,000 pelts is the biggest since the Unit ed States government took over administration of the Pribilof fur seal rookeries in 1911. It is val ued at more than $10 million.
 Resurgence of the seal herds under federal supervision permit ted the government to extend the normal months sealing season by two weeks this year and almost double the take.
 This years 118,000 pelts com pares with 65,638 taken in 1855.
 When the US. outlawed private hunting in 1911, pelagic (offshore) sealing had almost wiped out the herds on the Pribilof Islands of St. George and St. Paul in the Boring Sea.
 Under a pact with Canada, na- tives of the islands do all the seal ing. They kill only among herds on the shore. Their aim is to take only the pelts of three-year-old males, altho a few COW seals and two and four-year-o males were killed, in this years harvest.
 Seal population of the islands now is estimated at 1,80O,0OO ami

 There will be the pilot who took off from the same sand bar three times in a row and didn't make it the fourth time with the same load, and who didn't notice there was no wind and the tenn perature was 10 or Is degrees higher than on the other trips.
 There will be the pilot who loaded the extra hind quarter on board because one quarter is not worth making an extra trip for, and who consequently lost all four quarters and an airplane as the result of clipping treetops on the takeoff..

 The Military Sea Transporta- ton Service ship Washburn was sent north this month to resupply the islands and bring down the pelts. The ship is expected to re- turn to Seattle about Sept. To-
 From Seattle, the multi-million- dollar cargo will be shipped to St. Louis for processing.
 Proceeds will be divided be- tween the United States and Can ada, with Canada receiving 20 percent, and most of the pelts will be used for women's coats.

 There is more truth than po- etry to what he says.
