the immigration Service pre-
pared to deport two obscure
men who have lived most of
their lives in this city.

which he otherwise would not
have attempted.

DDS Of Federal narcotics agents.

tered his dissent in the case of

convicted last December for
violation Of narcotics laws and
sentenced to one to five years
in jail.
But in the majority opinion
Affirming the conviction. Judge
Warren e. Burger-with the
concurrence of Judge Walter
NJ. Bastian-countered that
Judge Bazelon's argument in
the case simply falls apart .
Judge Burger pointed out
that the defendant in the case
was a drug addict and had
made sales of narcotics to an
agent Of the Federal Bureau Of
Narcotics.
Judge BazeIon's View
Judge Bazelon said that, so
far as he is concerned, the
record Of the case shows that
Trent was a "weak-wiIled. per-
son drawn back into addiction
by q Government undercover
agent, one Dorothy Washing

Government witness in the
trial.
Judge Bazelon said that the
conviction should have been

absence Of this missing witness,

Legion Dispute
On Race Shifts
To4O andS

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Oct.
10 (APl-The racial dispute
between the American Legion
and its fun-lnaking adjunct,
the 40 and 8 Society, shifted
today to the 40 and 8. which
started its own convention in
neighboring Miami.
Some hot discussions are in
prospect when q 40 and 8 vote
comes up this week end on the
issue of shedding the restric-
tions limiting membership in
their organization to whites. =
The Legion voted more than
81 yesterday to back up its
national officers who had hung
restrictions on 40 and 9 mem
bers because Of the segrega-
tion policy. The vote of 2.344
for and 6o3 against affirming
the restriction generally fol-
lowed North-South lines.

Last year the Legion COM
mander, Martin B. McKnealIy
of Newburgh, N. Y, following
up a convention finding that
the color restriction was un-
constitutional. stripped the 40
and 8 Of the right to use the
Legion emblem or parade with
the Legion.
Mr.. McKneally told the Le-
gion during heated debate that
his action had resulted in sew
eral threats being made against
him and in two Impeachment
resolutions being circulated. He
declared he was standing by
his action as a matter Of prin-
ciple.
If the 40 and 8 keeps its
racial restriction. some Legion
ofhcialS said, the Executive
Committee could remove the
authority for the society to op-
crate as an affiliate of the
Legion.
Southern Legionnaires warned
yesterday that adoption of the
resolution might result in the
40 and 8 breaking all ties with
the Legion. They said the
matter was a legal proposition
rather than a racial matter.
Pleas on Cuba
The Legion headed toward
adjournment after a busy week
in which it heard pleas for
Stepped-up military prepared
ness and for doing something
about Cuba and the Commu-
mist threat.
Yesterday the United States
Ambassador to Mexico, Robert
C. Hill, warned that Fidel Cas-
tro may launch colossal and
