The Supreme Court today
upheld the validity of a Mary
land law banning fishing with
purse nets.
In an order today. the court
upheld a Maryland District
Court dismissal of an injunc-
ton sought by two commercial
fishing companies.
The captain of a boat for
one of the companies fishing
for menahaden had been ar
rested on charges of violating
the purse net law. He and his
company, together with the
Virginia Fishing Corp. sought
to enjoin the Commission of
Tidewater Fisheries of Mary
land from enforcing the law.
Opposition to Nets
The vessel had been fishing
for menahaden in Atlantic
waters off the Maryland Coast.
1t used a purse net about a
quarter of a mile in length and
about 8 feet deep.
Maryland officials and groups
of sport fisherman opposed the
use Of such nets even where in
edible fish are concerned.
The fishing corporations had
contended that the law placed
an undue burden on commerce.
SObell Appeals Refused
Morton Sobell lost two more
appeals to the Supreme Court
from his 30-year sentence for
wartime espionage.
1t refused to act on allega-
tons by Sobell that (a) he
was kidnapped in Mexico by
United States agents and il
legally brought back to face
espionage charges, and (b) his
conviction was "steeped in
fraud and tainted by false and
perjured evidence"
Without comment the court
rejected both appeals.
Movie Ban Reversed
The court also struck down
Chicago's ban against the
French movie, The Game of
Love"

Traffic Accident Victims On Four-Day Holiday May Exceed Record

CHICAGO, P-He's between 25 and A. He's on his way to wherever he is going to spend the long weekend. It's night-to- night, perhaps-an he's driving too fast.
 That's a statistical sketch of the man most likely to be counted among the victims of traffic acci- dents during the Independence Day holiday period
 The National Safety Council, which made the study of statis- tics, estimated 45 million motor vehicles will be rolling-13 ve- hicles for each mile of the na- tion's street and highway system
 The Council also predicted that lives in traffic during the holiday period that begins at 6 pm. to- night and ends at midnight Sun day.
 That number would top the record of 481 fatalities set during the four-day celebration of Inde- pendence Day in 1850.

Dulles Says Disarmament System

 Test of Responsibility
 Dulles divorced the internal policies of Russia and Red China from the recognition issue in dis cussing the matter yesterday. The test for recognition, he said, is one of responsibility in interna- tional conduct, not of internal policy.
 Measurements of Red Chinese responsibility, Dulles said, in- clude such things as treatment of Americans (six US. citizens are still imprisoned there), adherence to international obligations, and the tendency of the government to live peacefully in the world.

 No exact date for Humphreys resignation to take effect has been announced. He has said he will step out no later than the end of this session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Secretary of State Dulles said Tuesday worldwide disarmament system can be worked out even tho Com munist China is barred from the basic treaty.
 Dulles told a news conference a disarmament program could be based on the pre-supposition that Red China would cooperate, and that it would be in Russia's inter est to try to assure such coopera- ton.
 Freedom in Russia?
 If Red China did not, he added, the fact would become known and other nations could act to protect themselves.
 On another phase of world af- fairs, Dulles said the United States government believes that what he called Communist des- pOtism in Russia will eventually give way to a rule of much great CT freedom thru process of evo- 1utionary change.
 In speech at San Francisco last Friday, Dulles had said that he considered Communist oppres- sion passing phase" in China. He had related this to the prob lem of US. recognition of Red China, which he rejected as out of the question under present conditions.
 Revolution in China?
 On the same theme, Dulles said Tuesday he thought changes in Russia toward greater internal freedom would be evolutionary, whereas in China there are more elements of a revolutionary na- ture. He said he would not put q time limit on his prediction toward either country, one year, five years, or 10 years.
 In response to a question, he said he certainly thought the de- scendents of Soviet Communist Party boss Nikita Khruhchev

 The demand was lodged with the bride, Mrs. Haru (Candy) Girard, 27, less than three hours after she had filed at the US. embassy in Tokyo the papers which made her Girard's wife under Japanese laws.

 Looking forward to their real marriage Friday when they kneel at the white chapel in this US. Army base, Candy found Shimizu waiting for her when she re- turned from Tokyo to her home village.
 Shaken and in tears, she told newsmen of the encounter:
