Mrs. Naka Sakai, to approach
within shooting distance while
she was foraging for scrap
metal.
The Government, Mr.. Rankin
advised the court, had no OBJ
lection to eventual publication
of the affidavit. The main rea-
son it was sealed, he said, was
to prevent possible prejudicing
Of Specialist Girard if he is
eventually tried for the fatal
wounding of the woman.
Chief Justice Warren and
several of his associates also
questioned Mr.. Rankin closely
about the Governments idea of
a legal distinction between an
act committed by a Serviceman
while on duty and his conduct
"in the performance of duty"
Mr.. Rankin replied that there
could be a distinction but that
in the Girard case it made no
real difference because the
United States authorities prop
erly exercised legal authority to
waive jurisdiction over the
soldier who admittedly was on
duty at the time of the shoot
ing.

Mr.. Maxwell said. st think
the decision in the Girard case
may determine the question
which shook the country when
We had the debate on the
Bricker amendment. AS you
know. the Bricker amendment
was advocated because it was
felt there was a danger of a
treaty overriding the funda-
mental law of the Constitution.
That's why so many conSti-
tutional lawyers were in favor
of the Bricker amendment.
This is the test. If the Su-
preme Court decides that the
Constitution in this case guar
antees this soldier. Girard, the

lar status of forces arrange

Mr.. Rankin said:
THE Government has not
been able to find any sovereign
country in the world that rec
ognizes the right of immunity
under international law. The
agreement of this kind between
the United States and Japan
provides that in certain in
stances this country has pri-
mary jurisdiction but can waive
it and permit American service
men to be tired by local courts
overseas on charges of violat-
ing local laws. If there we're
no agreement of that kind,
Japan could assert Jurisdiction
under international law to try
our servicemen in such cases"

statement by Mr.. Rankin that

that the soldier enticed the

January.
But it gave few hints as to
whether it would uphold Dis
trict Court Judge Joseph c.
McGarraghy's June 10 ruling
that Specialist Girard cannot
be surrendered to japanese au-
thorities.
Little New Data
The session yesterday pro-
duced comparatively little new
substantive argument. 1t never
theless was enlivened by Justice
Frankfurter's rebuke of one of
Girard's lawyers for apparent
discourtesy to President Eisen-
hover.
The same attorney, Joseph S.
Robinson of New York, later
apologized when called to ac-
count by Chief Justice Warren
for apparently having implied
that Solicitor General j. Lee
Rankin attempted to deceive
the court with misleading and
false information.
In contrast to Mr.. Rankin's
calm presentation of the Gov
ernment's appeal from Judge
McGarraghy's decision, Mr..
Robinson tangled several other
times with Justices because of
his citation of legal questions
as, well as his criticism of
United States and Japanese
public officials.
Earl j. Carroll, his colleague
In behalf of Specialist Girard,
avoided bitter exchanges with
the jurists. He was equally
emphatic, however, in contend
ing that if the high court finds
that the Government officials
acted constitutionally and le-
gally in waving jurisdiction in
the Girard case lit will destroy

forces"

guard to shoot at people at

At the outset of arguments
delayed a few minutes so that
Mr.. Carroll could be sworn in
to practice before the Supreme
CourtvMr. Rankin said the
sole issues before the court
we're:
Cites Three Issues
1. Whether the United States
has the right to decline to pros
ecute a soldier and thus per-
NIT trial by a foreign country
when the two countries have
concurrent jurisdiction in ac-
cordance with a treaty and ad-
ministrative agreements.
2. Whether Federal Courts
can properly rule in a case of
this kind which is essentially
q proper exercise of executive
discretion.
3. Whether Specialist Girard
should be released from Army
detention in Japan on his claim
that he is being illegally kept
under custody without specific
charges. Judge McGarraghy
enjoined the United States from
surrendering Specialist Girard
to Japanese courts but refused
to order his release from Army
detention.
Mr.. Carroll and Mr.. Robin
son protested that the Army
had no right ito be breathing

u. S. Expects
Middle East
TruveI Rush
BY the Associated Press

State Department officials to-
day looked for a heavy move
ment of American visitors into
the Middle East in the next few
weeks, now that restrictions have
been lifted on travel by United
States citizens to Egypt. Syria,
Jordan and Israel.
The department announced
the cancellation Of restrictions
late yesterday. 1t lifted a ruling
imposed last fall which prohib-
tied tourist travel into the four
countries because of hostilities
between Egypt and Israel. Wives
and children of United States
officials and many officials them
selves had been removed from
the four countries.
Informants said today there
were several reasons for taking
the action at this time, includ-
ing:
/. The development of a gen.
orally more peaceful atmosphere
in the Middle East as demon
strated by such things as the
reopening of the Suez Canal.
2. The approach of the Easter
season in the Christian religion
and the Passover week, begin
ming April Is. in the Jewish re-
ligion. Times of religious OBJ
servance usually cause a great
influx of travellers to Jerusalem
and the State Department re-
portedly wanted to get the travel
ban lifted in time for journeys
to the holy places.
3. The morale of the Foreign
Service. Informants said there
had been strong pressures from
within the service for permis-
sion for wives and children to
rejoin officials who had stayed
on duty with American missions
in Egypt. Syrian, Jordan and
Israel.
