Warren indicated the court might decide to unseal an affida- wit submitted by the general counsel of the Defense Depart ment reciting facts in the case, including the charge that Japan csc scrap scavengers had been lured onto the range.
 The affidavit is in the courts possession.
 District Judge Joseph C. Me Garraghy, who ruled that the proposed delivery of Girard to Japan for trial would violate his constitutional rights, looked at the affidavit, but did not make it part of the lower court record.
 As the government has done turnout the case, Rankin conced- ed that Girard was on official duty when he fired an empty car fridge casing from his rocket launcher last January, fatally in turing the Japanese woman.
 But, Rankin said, Girard was never authorized to use the gre nade-launcher on his rifle in such a fashion. Rankin contended the act was so far removed from off, cial duty that the United States was justified in waiving it's pri- mary jurisdiction in favor of Ja- pan.
 The courtroom was packed and crowds filled outside corridors.
