rape conviction led to q new
Interpretation of law by the
Supreme Court In cases in
volving delay between arrest
and arraignment Of suspected
criminals.
On the firing end in the new
Mallory case is United States
Attorney Oliver Gasch.
Yesterday he protested ap-
plication Of the Mallory doc
trine to Milton Mallory's con-
viction, now being considered
by the U. s. Court Of Appeals
for the District Of Columbia fol
possible reversal.
Charges Delay
Milton Mallory contends there
was unnecessary delay. be.
tween his arrest and arraign.
ment and wants his Federal
District Court conviction re-
versed by the appellate court.
This was the same plea that
led TO reversal of Andrew NAL
lory's rape conviction by the
Supreme Court last June. Thus
was the Mallory doctrine born
Milton. 50. was convicted OF
raping the girl on November %
1856. in an apartment in the
1900 block of Twelfth street
NV. He was arrested at q
that night. confessed to the
crime l3 hours later. and was
arraigned an hour after the
confession.
Andrew was arrested at 2:3O
pm. the day after he allegedly
raped a woman in the same
apartment building. There was
about q 20-hour gap between
his arrest and arraignment.
In reversing Andrew Mallory's
conviction. the Supreme Court
held the delay was "unneces-
sary" and that 1t gave police
time to extract" q confession
from the 19-year-old boy.
In effect, Milton Mallory
says. in his appeal. this is what
happened to him.
Questions Application
But Mr.. Gasch. requested by
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman of
the Court Of Appeals to make
his views known on the mat
ter. said he. doesn't think the
doctrine applies to Milton NAL
lory's case.
In his memorandum to the
appellate court yesterday. he
said he finds it difficult to
state how this doctrine might
be regarded as generally apph-
cable"
He pointed out Milton NAL

the twins bound in a burst of

I move slightly, and they freeze
for a moment staring at me, then
leap gracefully away to be lost in
the gloom of the forest behind.
Overhead a curious squirrel has
been dividing his attention be-
tween the deer and me, with
more attention to the latter, for I
am a stranger and somewhat
out of place in his domain. He
sits upright, tiny paws pressed
against his chest, tail jerking
wildly as he inspects this strange
being. Headfirst, he darts a few
feet down his tree trunk, eau

to see what has happened in his

compares favorably with the lee

washington - Because there
are SO many cries of economic
distress from farmers and small
business in rural areas, there is
a growing feeling that new farm
legislation will be a necessary
order of business early in the
next session of Congress. A meet
ing of commodity organizations
will be held in Washington, Au-
gust 6, at which time an omnibus
farm bill is expected to be put
together. 1t is expected to be one
of the most comprehensive farm
bills to be sought in years.
Around 81 commodity organiza-
tons may attend the gathering,
and each group will present the
plan of its own organization.
Commodities not represented at
this meeting would be included
in the omnibus bill by whatever
is provided for in the 1949 Farm
Act.
Military Training - AS is Gus
tomary in Congress, the House has
unanimously granted me a brief
leave of absence to attend army
reserve military training with the
96th Division at Yakima. There
are many ~reservists in Congress
who attend annual training with
the Army, Navy, Air Force and
Marines as a part of their obi
cation in defense of the Nation.
Congress shares with state and
local governments, as well as
many industries, this obligation
by providing leaves of absence
for the period Of summer unit
field training.
