It is s mall know foot that the P A 0 received e greet deal of money from

During the early stages of the recent campaign, Senator E. H. Moore oi
Oklahoma urn?-6 a letter to Attorney General Biddle, asking for an opinion -as to the
low relating to this matter. It hsd been the unbroken habit of the attorneys
general not to give legal opinions on such 'a matter. However, after some delay
Attorney General Biddle did replyto the letter of senator Moore end set forth his

"It is a mistake to suppose that the Supresn Court is either
honored or helped by being spoken of as beyond criticism. On
the contrary, the life and chsracter of its justices should be
the objects of cnnsmn: watchfxilness by ell, and its judgments
subject to the frcest criticism. The time is past in the
history of tho world when any living man or body of men can be '
set on n p¢OUt&1 and decorated with a halo. True, many
criticisms ray be, like their uuthors, devoid of good taste,
but bctt;r all sorts of criticism than no oritléis at ell.

The address of President Frank J. Hogan oi the American Ber Association,
in Ian Frausises, ion July 10th, 1939, with which you are, of course, familiar, is
made ,0. part oi, this letter. You can find it" in the August number, 1939, of the '
Journal of the American Bar Association. Since then, your deoisione have been in-
creasingly bad, because they have been flagrant misinterpretation: both of the Stat-
utes of the Congress and of the Constitution oi tho United States, Some of them are
as follows; '
1. You have hold in the notorious Carpenters case that any group,
elaiming to be a. labor union, is entitled to libel an honest firm and ruin its
business. In that case, you held that the Carpenters Union vies justified. You . V
held also, d u.n.i0n justified in promulgating lies against the Auhouser-Bueoh Brow-
ing Company oi St. Louis, although there was no dispute between it and the Union-
2- Lately, you have held that a group of men who started a rest-aurnnt,
doing all the work themselves, could be lawfully pioketed on the ground that it was
unfair to the said labor union. - .
- 3. In March, 1942, you concurred with the decision of the than Associate
Justice, James F-Q-By;-nes, in the csse oi the United States vs. Teamsters Union oi
New York City, that members of the said labor union violated no Federal law, although
they had forced with pistols s dairy farmer, driving his om truck to pay them $8.41,
before he was permitted to drive his trunk into Nowfork City for the delivery oi his
daily load of milk.
Chief Justice Harlan F92gS§%e deijlared that you and the five other justices
nho made this notorious, outrageous decision, had made "demon law robbery an innooent
pastime. i
Your course, as'Justioe of the Supreme Court, has alarmed and angered the
best oitizens of this nation. It has also aroused the anxiety of many men serving
in the armed forces, who are fearing that, while they are risking their lives and
giving their lives for the defense of human freedom all around the world, you are -
using your power in this country to destroy them hare. This letter and your answer

In the case of the United States vs. Local 807 of the Teamsters Union of
New York City, the Supreme Court adopted, by E vote of six to one, a decision by the
than Justice James F. Byrnes, that members of this uion who forced, at the point of
firearms, a New Jersey farmer to pay $8.41 before he was permitted to drive his own
truck filled with his onn milh down the highway built by his oun taxes. ief JusticeEarlan F. Stone aloe dissented, and said that this decision made oomm0n5&BIbery an
innocent p15_S92Z1lIH" for members of teamsters unions. -
This decision was rendered in larch, 1942, and has been the law of the
United States for three years, Hon. Sam Hobbs, a sender of the Houso of Representa-
tives from Alabama, introduced a bill which would have made it impossible for labor
union mmbors thus safely to rob citizens. It was adopted by the House, and duly
transmitted to the Senate, where it died in a pigen-hole; Shame on such a cowardly
Senate, terrorized by brutal labor union bosses!

Tne Supreme Court has recently reversed past decisions of long standing as
to the vast insurance business, so as to put it under the power of the Washington
government. The attorneys general of forty one states at onse asked for a re-hearing;
their petition was peremptorily denied. The power of the state governments is being
stolen by this court and given to the obese federal officials in the notional capital.
The Supreme Court judges are steadily robbing the states of their functions and powers.
On April Z0, 1944, I sent out the following:
JUDGES BHD_!UST g ;HEAC§§P
Justice Felix Frankfurter, of the Supreme Court, has recently
written, "The opinion that, if the words of a law are plain, the
moaning of the law is plain~7is Pernioious over-simplification.
Thus the professor reveals the theory, by which the once High Court
has been guided to several important, outrageously oppressive de-
cisions since 1938, when Roosevelt, with the consent of a majority
of the senators, elevated this Austrian-born autoerat to this posi-
tion of great judicial power. -Since his taking over this power, the
citizens and the states have been the victims of a series or despotic
decisions, which grow rapidly more and more intolerable."
Under the above quoted theory, the plainest meanings of the
words of laws, either of statutes or of constitutions, do not bind
the courts, and they have the power to interpret them, as their de-
sires may determine; that is the power to change the constitutions,
which are approved by the sovereign people, and the statutes, en-
acted by the congress, and the legislatures of the several states,
by substituting their own laws."
"In for reaching decisions, involving labor questions, they
have held, in effect, that 125,000,000 of us who do not belong to
labor unions have no rights that 10,000,000 members of labor unions
are bound to respect." -
"Thirty years ago Theodore Roosevelt wrote Felix Frankfurter that

"The House of Representatives should at once arraign these judges
before tho senate, and demand their immediate impeachment. The Con-
stitution statos that they shall hold office for life or during their
good behavior. Their behavior is very bad. They are trampling under

p Citizens of our country should give duo signicance to Roosevelt's Io: on
Montgomery Ward and Company, the most alarming of e.l1_his acts in the twelve years
or his presidency. ' '_ p . s ' '.u . i '
This war began on ripril 26, -when soldiereat hii eo"'"s-o-%"" seized the C -""
store and ejected from it Sewell Avery, the Chairman of its Board oi Directors. - '
A number of editors, columnists and citizens made instant and indignant
protests, endjloosevelt surrendered by returning the property to its owners in two
weeks. Tho number or! these protests was so small as to' pro'vo"that our finrec lovo
for liberty is too feeble either for pride or __es.fetys '
The 78th Congress did not spring to the defense oi -"'I'h.e right oi the people
to be secure in their persons, holes, papers, end effects against unreasonable
searches and seizure". This fourth bill of constitutional nights was violated by
Roosevelt. . '
On December 28, 1944, the' rs-elected usurper renewed his War on this com-
pany by having his arsw seize its most'i:sporte.nt properties in several cities. He
did this, as before, without even seeking an order or permission from any judge,
stats or federal.
-,; - I-o ~-»~.--r~
_ - '{.=_ __ - __ He did this on the pretext that this company was oppressing its workers and
' f " -'1» punishing them, if they joined unions. One of the aims of Roosevelt is to force this4,, __ _- company to discharge any member of s. union who quits the union . There is no lavr,
,__ __ =., , _ state or federal, providing for this,
92.- -- ;__w-, p.-41;_,,-s.,&_,_,¢ Ward's workers do not desire it. Ninety per cent oi the workers in the
_ Chicago Sto.e declared their opposition to it. Representatives of union members in
four seized stores in Detroit openly state their opposition.
;_;f"": These workers are about to be victims oi Roosevelt, Hil , Hurray, md.,..._.,h-__ .-.._lmsn
_ _ - ' the CIO, and red union racketeers and bosses.
Roosevelt is now seeking to get some judge to approve his despotic octe-
Any judge who does so will be an accessory to anarchy._ in I -
Every Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors of every Corporation or other
- _ business concerns, fsrrrers' organizations, and every governor, the 79th Congress,
/" 92 /""92_ . should instantly and poworilly protest. Dewey and Bricker should riso from theirv V political graves, and bitterly object.
Every pulpit should thunder e warning, remembering that "Resistance to
tyrants is obedience to God. ' '
Wnut will citizens do about this war on free enterprise, on private pro-
... perty rights, begun by those who soornthe guaranties oi the bill of rights, substi-
tute soldiers for Judges, and machine guns for codes? -
Have we turned into mice who run for holes when we hear the footsteps of
a despot? .

petition, that he sanction his seizure on December 23, 1944, of sixteen propertiesof liontgomex-§7¢I§g'd and Co-, has denied the petition, and has rendered a s'Meepir.g
and clear decision, that the action of Roosevelt was a violation both oi the Consti-
tution and oi the Statutes of the Gongre:-:s._ No other president in the history oi our
government ever suffered such a judicial rebuke as this. -
Why did he order the soldiers oi the arnv to seize the pr0pe1"ti8S_ oi the
60,000 stockholders of this canpszqf '
Ho did this because Sewo.'l.lX,5.vory,- the Chairman of the Board oi Directors,
would not agree to put out of their "jobs workers who quit unions. Roosevelt sought
to use his power in behalf oi the unions by forcing this company, and later, no doubt,
ell erru;lo}_.'ers, to take away employment from all members of -unions who might withdraw
from them, so that they would be unable to support their families,

Roosevelt sought to destroy such a right for all meniaers of lab-or unions,
now some 15,000,000 in number,
He made this dastardly he pronounces it "dastdrd1y"} effort in order to
try to repay the CIO, the PAC, and Sidney Hillman for the help, flnanoial and other-
wise, given him in his race for n fourth term, without which he would hale been do-

Roosevelt is now hurrying to the Supreme Court, in an effort to have it
reverse Judge Sullivan. If it does so, it will sanction e new and nefarious slavery,
which none of the tyrants of the past ever inflicted on the weak.
The hih oourt new has an oppcrtmiity to begin to regain the respect of
all right thinking, freedom-loving citizens, which it has lost by its notorious
decisions of the last six years, which have been built on the pernicious principlethat 120 000,000 citizens of the United States, who do not belong to unions, in- .

You will agree, I think, that the greater responsibility rests upon you
officers, who have repeatedly sworn, in the imrokod prosonoo of God,
ItTo preserve, protect, and dcfcnd tho Constitution of the United
States,"
It is not my purpose to b1Li!!lC you for whatever failures you may be guilty
io in the est, but to oeg you, in all seriousness, to dedicate all your powers in
tho future to the rescue and the defense of our liberties-
If we all, officials and civilians, do not guard our heritage, bought forus by the studies, toil, tears, and blood of our forebears, IB are ignoble traitors
to then, as well as to our posterity, who will curse our memories to the dirge like
aooompuniment of their rattling chains.
May the God of our fathers strengthen you, and all oi us, for this hour,
that tries the souls of rrnnl

iiect right to take the girls on "in-
inment" vacation trips across
State lines, such pleasure jaunts
inot constitutin: violation or the
Mann Act.
The five-to-four decision was
delivered by the court's only bach-
elor. Associate Justice Frank
Murphy. The ruling reversed theMann Act qvictiom of liensQissenteilves View I -L." v
"There was no wt of prostitu-
tion on the trip and no discussion
of such acts -during the course of
the journer," the opinion said.
holding that to violate the Ma-rm
Act "it is essential that the in-
terstate transportation have tor
its object or be the means of
Iacilitatinl" immoral practices.
Agreeing with Murphy were
Justices Frankfurter, Jackson,
Roberts and Rutledge. Chiei Jua-
tiee stone and Justices Black,
Reed and Douglas dissented on
grounds that the girls were re-
turned to Grand Island tor im-
mo_ra1 purposes. To this the mf-
.io ty replied we do not thi

Agrees to Hear Arguments on},
Whether to Deport Him .

By Lewis woon 7'

dig West Coast lea er o
a Supreme Court review out the
effort by the Federal Government;
trails, on the grounds that he is a
high court agreed to hear argu-I
iments in the Bridges case but,
simultaneously refused the plea otl
the Communist Political Associa-
,tlon to enter the controversy. The
fpoliticlal association, successor to
ithe dissolved Communist Party of
America, had demanded a chanceto prove that the original parttyi
organization did not advoca e
overthrow of the Government by
torceand violence, as the Depart-
pment of Justice alleged in the
Bridges case.
i As usual, no amplification was
made of the Supreme Court order,
but Associate Justice Robert H.
Jackson, a former Attorney Gen-
erdl, did not participate.
i The Government charges against
w Mr. Bridges allege that he has been
a member of the Communist Party
of-America since his entry into
this country. and was also affi-
liated with the Marine Industrial
Workers of America, a segment of
_ !1'he deportation proceeding upon
92 which the Supreme Court will rule,
was instituted in February, 1941.
I Some time previously, a former
. Immigration authorities tailed -to92 .
Lto deport him to his native Aus- :_
:Communls't. , - i-
} Through a formal order, the i
_ proceeding was cancelled when tliei
prove that Mr. Brid . an Australilien alien, in the phrizology of the
immigration law, is "a member of
_jt.he Communist Party. ' 1§ Meanwhile, in the case of Joseh
;G. Strecker, of Hot Springs, Ar .,
_the Supreme Court decided that an
fallen could not be deported solely
because he once held membership
in the Communist Party. Follow-
ing that ruling, Congress changed
the Immigration Law to malls
the membership qualification read.
1 has been," at the time of entrance,
*or thereeuier. Accordingly, the
new proceeding was begun agatnst
Mr. Bridges, under another war-
'rant, and has now been sustained
by two lowea courts. - _-
Four years have elapsed-since
this action was started, but seven
years in all have gone by gsince
the original papers were iied.
Supported by the CIO and_oi.her
><lI.bO1' elements, Mr. Bridges has
fought the case through the courts,

John L. Lewis and the United
;Mine Workers won points yester-
iday in two courts. ' -
Ll The United suzhxcom of' ' Mre partly upheld the
-righ foremen to join -the same union as ank-and-le miners. _l"h*upreme Court said lt
' would hear the T5 objections
Lewis and the UMW to their
nes of more than 3% million dol-
' for contempt of court for call-
ing the recent coal strike.
- Some time ago. foremen in tour
mines run by Jones 3: Laughlin
,Steel Oorp. joined the United
_Clerlcal, Technical and Super-
'_vi.sory Employee, s division of
,UMW's District 50. Hearings and
an election were held by the Na-iuomu Labor Relations Board. After
the Government took over the
mines, during the strike last spring,NLRB certied the UMW unit as
bargaining agent for the forernen.
Admiral Ben Moreell, as, Coal
;Mlnes Administrator,_m.ade s eon-,.tract with the UMW,_eove1-log toré.

"for the period the Governmenthe d the mines. '- , '7 .
nes 6; Laughlin went to courtto lock the contraét, but Justice]
B nett C. Clark said in his opinion
ye erday that the deal was perfect-i
92Ky legal. Justices Hem-y W. Edger-iton and E. Barrett Prettyman Joined
gin the opinion. _ ,
1 Clark said,that as long u the
Government, ran the coal mines it
had the same right as s.ny.otherl
employer to bargain with the work-
ers, and that Moreell had done no
more than that. - *
1 The opinion did not squarely -'
clde whether fofemen in gene l
have e right, under the Wag r
Act, to belong to the some uni n
as the rank and le workers. But
Clark noted the Jones 8: Laugh-
lin claim that straw bosses could
not properlyhelong 'to the same
unlon as other miners and ssld
that in this case he could not see
why not. The company pointed
out that_the bosses have the duty
of enforcing safety rules.. Clark
qudted an NLRB ruling which said
the rules were for the "safety of
the miners, rather than of the
mines, so that was no reason fore-
men should not be fellow union-

TREHBQN QUESTION
BEFORE HIGH GOURT
-i-i.-.-1
Conrmed From Page I
senting the Federal Government.
and Cramer defended by Harold R.
Medina, chairman of the New
York Cityy Bar Association and
Law Professor at Columbia Uni-
versity. Mr. Medina, appointed by
Judge Knox to act for Cramer in
the trial court, without fee, has
been engaged in the task since that
time.
When the important matter came
before the nine justices in March,
every one asked pointed questions,
and their interest in the bl-sic is-
sues was so intense. that they or-
dered a rear-garment. The court
directed Mr. Fahy and Mr. Medina
to submit briefs and contentions
defining the constitutional mean-
ing of "Treason," and "Overt
Acts," as applied to the case and
details concerning the requirement
that two witnesses must testify
to the same overt act."
Cramer, 44-year-old mechanic
and German-born American cit-
izen, was indicted for giving aid
and comfort with treasonous in-
tent. to_ Werner Thiel and Edward
John Kerling, two of the saboteurs
who landed near Jacksonville and
were subsequently executed in tl'|.ia
city. As to two of the overt acts"
it was stated that Cramer didW .. ti ,_
--. 1;» 1" " W
4:Oi
me conversations ac-
.l'=l-l!'!O. In other words, merely
meeting and talking with In
enemy would not be giving aid and
comfort. As to the false state-
ments. the detense says there was
no proof that these furnished aid
and comfort, the only allegation.
The Government, however, as-
aerta that any act which was part
of a scheme or plan to supply aid
and comfort was a sufficient act
of treason, however innocent and
harmelss it might appear of itself.
Under the Constitution treason
consists of levying war against the United States "or in adhering to
,their enemies, giving them aid and
comfort. No person shall be don-
victed of treason "unless on the
testimony of two witnesses to the
same overt act or on confession in
open court." The ml-Itimuxn pen-
alty is death, but Cramer was sen-
tenced to forty-five years and a.
$10,000 fine. I
History of Preston's Case
Lord Preston's case." the Gov-
ernment states, is "a significant
landmark in the law of treason,"
while Mr. Medina says it is the
first fully reported case of adher-
ing to the King: enemies he can
,find. The British nobleman, with
Mothers, hired a small boat in 1090
to take them to another boat for
France, then at war with England.
They were caught, with papers in-
forming the French how best to
invade England.
Before the English court. Lord
confer, treat and counsel with"
Thiel alone, on June 23, 1942, in
New York City at the Twin Oaks
Inn, Lexington Avenue and Forty-
fourth Street, and Thompson;
Cafeteria, on Forty-second Street,
between Lexington and Vanderbilt
Avenues; and with Thlel and
Kerling together at the some
places. A third overt act" was en
accusation that Cramer ve falsestatements to FBI agenisa for the
Purpose of concealing Thiel's iden-
tity and sabotage mission.
Contentions of the Defense

as the going s ahip-"board in Bur-irey, or being found on ship-board
in Kent, where the Pl-per! were
taken." _
- Other Ga-sea Examined
i This case is only one of the
many exasnined. In 1606 Captain
Vaughan was indicted for accept-
ing a commission from the King
of France to command the shlp-of-
war Lolay Clencarty. Sixty years
later. Dr. Hensey was tried for
treasons of cornpassing the King's
ldeath and adhering to his enemies."
The trail oi Sir Roger Casement
in World War I is cited.
Various American precedents
are also mentioned. In 1814 a man
named Lee was charged with trel-
yson in supplying the British with
fruits and melons and giving in-
formation on our troops. The jury,
however, iet Lee go free.
- Although this is the first actual
teat of the treason laws before the
Supreme Court, the tribunal has
acted without comment on appeals
of other persons than Cramer.
,One was that of Max Stephan of
Detroit, who helped a German ier
to escape from a Canadian prison
camp, and is now serving a llfa
sentence. I-is-a--n

Mr. THOMAS. Wliat led you to make that request? There must
have been some reason fol? "It? -- _Mr. Mnnccmomo. It is natural, Congressman, in havinlg read any
char s against the International Labor Defense Counci that maylltl92'B%0¬'li made, it was only natural, may I say to my colleague.
Mr. Tnontas. I am not referring to today, but as of the time you
made the statement.
Mr. MARGANUONIO. Correct.
The CHAIRMAN. Something must have led you to make such a state-
merit.Mr. MARANTONIO. The reason I made the statement was simply be-
cause we defend the ri ht of a. Communist to be a Communist; wetlef-lid persons time and time again, charged with being Communists,
hut I never lost an opportunity to assert and to reassert that the
nl"'!lI1I'Z3.ti0I'l was non-Communist.lilr. THOMAS. Had you made any investigzition as to whether it was
oininuiiist or not?
Mr. Mi92RcAi~:'roi92'io. My investigation is right there; I am the pres-
ident; I run the or nization.The Cim1inuAN. gm run the i92h0lE organization?
Ur. Mi92.i~:c.~.i~i"roNio. In accordaiice with the rules and bylaws and
in accordaiice with the constitution of the order. In other words,
1 run the organization in the same sense that Mr. Green runs the
-92. F. of L. and the President runs the United States, in accordance
witii the constitution and bylaws and regulations of the organization.
Mr. Tnosms. Who for-niuhites the policies of the organization; the
go92'ei'ning body?Mr. MARCANTONIO. Let ine say this about the policies: There are
92-ci-_92- few policies formulated, because, if we are convinced of 0. per-
.-on being framed, it is simply a question of getting in touch with a.
grnitl lawyer to defend him.
Mr. THOMAS. You just assume he has been trained up and go
niiemi and employ a. lawyer?
Mi-. iilisuosiwroisio. I said if we were convinced.
Mr. THOMAS. If you were coiivinced?
Mr. .92litRcAN'r0.92'10. If we were convinced; yes.
Mr. Tnouas. Did you defend this fellow Strecl-tor?

Mr. Maiicaisrroxio. 92Ve had this in mind, we had this concrete situ-
ation, in other words, of getting, into airplane factories, and Nazis
ligliglg around various places involving the national defense; 11]
other words, where their activities were of an espionage character.
The CHAII-t192I.-92N. Would that be true of Communists? _
Mr. Maiicamiomo. If the Communists were involved iii espionage.
The CHAIRMAN. 92Vhy did you not say-
Mr. 192I.iiioaN'mNio. If a Communist were involved in espionage, we
would not defend him. We are not defending spies. _
The CHAIRMAN. Then why did not you say in the resolution
Coiniiiuiiists along with Nazis ? _Mi-. Msneslvroxio. I have been tryiiiié to explain that. That ques-tion came 112 before the national boar arid came up in connection
with a spet-i..c proposition of a Nazi activity, and we said that Nazi
acti92'it_92 inv_ol_ved espionage and woultl not come within the purviewof our activities. _The I. L. D. will not undertake the defense
of an! Nazi, Fascist, or any other, under those circumstances. Inother 9292U1' iS, it will not defend them or any other persons or organ-
izations whose aims and activities are anti abor and antidemoeratic.
The CHAIHBIAN. It looks to me like that means what it says.
.92h-. Maiicaiwmieio. Exactly.
The CHAIRMAN. Anybody whose aims are antidemocratio or anti-
hilior. 1-egardless of what they engage in, you wont defend them?

is innocent of that murder, we are convinced he is charged w_ithmurder because of his labor activities, certainly we would de end linn.Mr. Srannas. Now, who is the supreme court of the I. L. D.'i _
Mr. l92I.iiioiiN'1ioNio. We have no supreme court. We have a presi-
dent. -
Mr. Smanns. Tell who is the man or group of men, or women I u 1 , v I in the organization that lays down the yardstick and decides whether
it is undemocratic or aiitilabor?
Mr. l92IAiicaNronIo. If it is the usual run of case. it is usually de-cided by myself; if there is a real policy question iiirolred, it coniesup before the governing board. 92Ve have had no such case since I
have been president. . -. . -
Mr. Sritnnes. Is it not a fact in the I._ L. D.-well, I cannot ask
that question, because you have coiined it to your knowledge since
1937, but I wanted to ask if it was not a. fact that the I. L. D. had
volunteered its services and stepped into cases and sou 1-ht to iiiter-fere with the processes of the courts of this country, and if they l_ia_d
not attempts to inuence, to browbeat, and intimidate the civil
authorities of this country?
Mr. M.92ncAN'roNio. My answer is No.
LII. Q.-1.. -.-ii-. 92T.-.....JkJl.;92lfn92l'4a. J.U92-'cl'Y
Mr. i92IAncaN'iioN1o. Never; as far as I know; and, fiii'tlieriiioi-e, asb f ' ' ~ - I said e oi e, we came into the De Jonge case, and the SIIBIEIIE ourt
agreed with us, and the Strecher case
Mr. ST;92RNESn 92Vas De J onge a member on your board of directors?Mr. .92Ianc.iNToN1o. I think he is. We came into the De Joiige
C592'SE-*
Mr. Srannas. Is not the fact of the business this: That the reason
the denouncin of communism has never been embodied in the resolu-tions adopted iy the I. L. D., the fact that a resolution to that effecthas the same chance as the proverbial snowball in the lower regions
of ever being considered anti passed by the I. L. D.?
Mr. Itlaacimrouio. As I say to you gentlemen, give us a case of
one person deprived of democratic rights by the Communists, and I;will give you my guaranty, if he comes to us, he will be defended.
Mr. Sranxns. And, Mr. Marcantonio, since you have been a mem-
ber, you have undertaken to defend the religions and political liber-
ties of persons in the Soviet Union?
Mi". l92LiiicA>:'roNio. In the Soviet Union, in Alabama, or anywhere
else. We have only had one case, and that was an American
citizen-
Mr. SIPARNESI I want to say I subscribe wholeheartedly to the doc-
trine of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and that includes
Communists, Fascists, Nazis, or whoever he is, if he is an American
citizen; but I have an absolute aversion to some person who comes
to this country as an agent of a foreign government. and becomes a
naturalized citizen in order to wrap himself in the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights, to seek the destruction of this Government.
And that is the reason I, and many other Americans, look with sus-
picion on these various organizations.

State of New York. He said that he eotrh. not go beyond the jurisdic-
lion of the court unless he wanted to forfeit the $50,000 hail.
There are various fundamental questions of constitutional law that
I think this commit-tee should be interested in, and that I want to
test. in the courts of New York. I was to appear in court on twomotions this ntornin% I was to appear on a motion this luoruiug in
the §H] tEll1t3 Court ut I thought. that it was my duty to come ere
before te eonunl tee. 9292'e have a lot of work to do. The district
attorney of New York County has a large stall of stenographers and
assistatits who have been devoting pt-at-tit-ally all their time exclu-
sively to the preparation of this case. Since this committee is a com-
mittee on tm~Anteric-an activities, wliitsli, atsoording to the booklet,
or your documents, I understand is seeking to protect American tradi-
tions and the Amer-it-an Constitution, I ask this con1mitteeand
some of you are lawyers-to appreciate the importance of our situa-
tion. 9292-'e have to go to trial on an indiclntent eoittaining 12 counts,
all of them 1-"ellt>ll!~. Tl1e_distriet attot-ne_92' has seized all of the docu-
ments which would help us in our | 'e[>t9292'9tli0n of the case. The_t'
have taken e92'er_vtl1ing, including all of his books. and we must do
what we can in this short time.
The New York eon:-;titution contains a provision which holds the
home sat-red, the person sacred, and |>ropert_92' sacred at all times; yet
thejv seized all of tin-Jse loeuinent_s from Blr. Kul1n's ofee. There is
at l1e9292' t-on.-titutioua1 pro92'i.~ion that was enacted in New York, at the
last election, and I want to test that prorisiolt.
Mr. T1;o.921.ts. I do not think that this has anything to do with
our ]u'oceetli11g here this utorning.
Hr. S.92nn.92'1"t.92o. Eve:-_92' hour that is heing spent down here, is an
hour in wltit-h we are pre92entt-ti from preparing this man's ease for

will app:-eriatte that.
The CI-!.92IR 'AN. Well. you have made _92'uu1' point.
Mr. . -t_-92uux1'I!:o. I it:-li that Mr. Kuhn he ext-tt.-ed until 192'o92'emher.

The '1-1.92IaM.92.92'. The answer to that is that this committee will
pl'ohahl_92_' not he in .92tS.92lUll after the trial of the t-aise, or we will prob-
ably not he in session here. We have n1au_v witnesses on the west

Ilr. Kuhn now, 9292ith reference to preparation for the trial. we will be
througgh here 92'er_92' shortl_92', and I tlo not think _92,'ou will be prejudiced

Mr. KUIlN. I can answer your question.
Mr. Sralmss. All right.
Mr. Kvnn. Do you have to be a Catholic to go into the Knights
of -olumhusi
Mr. STARK!-IS. I do not know. I am neither :1 Knights of .ohm1bu5
nor a Catholic.
Mr. K111N. All right, that answers the question.
Mr. Smnmzs. Now, then, I want to know if this witness, who says
that he is the head of a political organization in this country, can
say Whether it. is true that his organization excludes from membership
Negroes and J ews?
Mr. Knnu. We never exclude them--
Mr. Smnnns. Do you exclude them?
Mr. Kenn. We do not take them in.
Mr. ST.-92RNES. You refuse to take them in?
Mr. KUHN. Right.
Mr. Sranxes. Therefore, if the political philosophy of the blind
became the dominant philosophy of the United States of America,
Jews and Negroes would not have any ri,'3ht of rep:-1-=.ent:1tion inthis
connt.rjvlMr. _KEEGAN. I object to that question. I believe in a decision ofthe of the United States with respect to a colored
citizen o tac t out tern States who tried to become a inemher of the
Democratic Part_i'. where he Ws excluded, and appealed his case,Elie §_ta;;FQg_QQ_upt upheld the exclusion. The Democrats have already
one ta ..
hair. S'r.in:n~:s. May I say that one of the members of that race is a
Democratic Member of the House.
Mr, K1»:Et;AN, I was just referring to the fact that thut principle
has already been upheld by the 1 - rtMr. Smnnns. I am mel'el_V trying io esiaghsh what the purpose of
this organization is; I am trying to ascertain the true purpose of
this organization, and I am trying to ascertain. through the leader
of the organization, Whether he says they have a right to become
a political element in this country, organize a political party to
exclude others.
The Cnanuuau. All right; let us proceed.
Mr, Smnxns. That is all for the time being.
The Cnamman. Mr. Voorhis, you had some questions.
Mr. Voounls. This paper which counsel objected to contains notices
to which I would like to call attention: It has two n |tiCE.=- sicrned
by Fritz Kuhn in it, and it was photostated by the I.ibrnr_r of Con~
gress. and that is the paper in which reference is made to taking over
the leadership of the Germans in America appears.
Now I would like to usk you this question, Ur. Kuhn. Suppose the
bund succeeded in organizing an effective political party, such as you
had in mind here, what would be your answer to this question; would
you, in connection with its work, use the same tactics that were used
in other nations-
Mr. Knnx interpsingl. Mr. Chuirinan, I think---
Mr. Voomns ft-ontinliing!. By other iernum organizations?
Mr. Ktmn. That question is very unfair.
Mr. Vooimls. Well. you can answer it Yes or No.

Deer Sir:
I would like to call your attention to thedecision of the Supreme Court of the United zgjse,
re on Iey 16, 1956, in the case entitl ,Zerbst___viidvgll et e1" 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. B72!, feeling L Jthat the"'d'éé1sion should considered r inclusion ,inbriefed form, in the section of t.he____l of Instr- '}
uctions devoted to Criminal Procedure. ' '**"
Apparently the é;eision is to the effect
that e prisoner who while on"pEr5I§ Hhring the period
of a sentehce for one Federal crime commits e second 1
Federal crime for which he is convicted and sentenced
and serves e sentence therefor may be retained in cus-
tody on perole board warrants and compelled to serve
the remaining time of the sentence imposed for the
first Federal crime. It would seem that the oiginel
sentence does not run concurrently with the period
served for the second sentence end, therefore, that
the prisoner must complete the term of his first sent-
ence efter the second sentence hes bee served.
I trust you will find the case-report inter-
esting §of value t5'the Bureau. ,

ISUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.
2 /No. 256.-0c'roaF.R Tenn, 1936.
Appeal from the Supreme
92l vs} Court of Colorado.
YH. E.%V0olsey, Appellant, '
Roy Best, 11 arden, etc.
I .,
PER Cuauu.
Appellant brouglit this proceeding in the Supreme Court of
Colorado to obtain a writ of habeos corpus. His petition was
denied without opinion. It appears that appellant was held pur-
suant to conviction for violation of Section 26'?6 C. L. 1921, being
section 40, chapter 44, Session Laws 1913', of the laws of Colorado
see also section 2740 C. L. 1921, being section 85, chapter 44 of
Session Laws of 1913!, the judgment of conviction having been
afi-med by the Supreme Court of the S te. Woolsey v. ThePeople, 98 C010. 62. /WIt is welbéstablished that theéit o_fhab_cas corpus cannot beused as _ rit of error. This is he -rule in Colorado as well as in
this Court. The judgment of conviction was not subject to
collateral attack. People ea: rel. Burchinell v. District Court, 22
Colo. 422; Martin V. District Court, 37 Colo; 110, 115; Chemgas
v. Tymm, 51 Colo. 35; In re Arokowo, 78 Colo. 193, 196; In re
Nottingham, 84 Colo. 123, 128. Compare Harlan v. McGou-rin,
218 U. S. 4-1:2; Riddle V. Dyche, 262 U. S. 333; Craig V. Her-ht,
263 U. S. 250, 277; Km-wet v. Egon, 268 U. S. 442, 445, 446; Goa:
V. Colorado, 282 U. S. 807. It is apparent from the record sub-
mitted that the state court had jurisdiction to try the appellant
for violation of the statute in question and that any federal ques-
tion properly raised as to the validity of the statute could have
been heard and determined on appeal to this Court from the nal
judgment i_n that action. The Supreme Court of the State was not
required by the Federal Constitution to entertain such questions
on the subsequent petition for hobeos corpus, and it does not ap-
pear that its denial of the petition did not rest upon an adequate
non-federal ground. Lynch v. New Y ork, 293 U. S. 52, and cases
there cited. The appeal is dismissed for the want of jurisdiction.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.
No. 12.-Ocroana TERM, 1936.
Pick Manufacturing Cornpany, _
Petitioner, On 'Writ of Certiorari to
vs. the United States Cir-
Gcneral Motors Corporation, Chevrolet cuit Court of Appeals
Motor Company, and Buick Motor for the Seventh Circuit.
Company.
[October 26, 1936.]
Pea CURJAM.
By this suit petitioner challenged the validity under Section 3
of the Clayton Act 8 Stat. T30, 731, 15 U. S. C. 1-1! of a provi-
sion of the contracts made with dealers by selling organizations
of the General Motors Corporation. The provision in the contract
between the Chevrolet. Motor Company and dealers is as follows:
Dealer agrees that he will not sell. otter for sale, or use in the
repair of Chevrolet motor vehicles and chassis second-hand or used
parts or any part or parts not manufactured by or authorized by
the Chevrolet Motor Company. It is agreed that Dealer is not
granted any exclusive selling rights in genuine new Chevrolet parts
or accessories. .- .
There is a similar provision in contracts made by the Buick
company.
The District Court clisniissecl the hill of complaint for want of
equity and its decree was airinccl by the Circuit Court Of Appeals.
S0 F. Qd! 6-11. Upon the evidence adduced at the trial the Dis-
trict Court found that the effect of the clause had not been in any
Way substantially to lessen competition or to create a monopoly in
any line of commerce. This nding was sustained by the Circuit
Court of Appeals. Id., p. 644.
Undei the established rule, this Court accepts the ndings in
which two courts concur unless clear error is shown. Stuart V.

Director J. Edgar Hoover
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington, D. C-
Dear Mr. Hoover:
The people of the United States have many things for
which to be grateful. One is you and your organization,
and the care and excellence with which you perfonm your
investigations and reports. You have been as a guiding
light through the years.
I made a copy of a letter I sent Vice President Nixon,
which I shall include. We do care what happens to our
country.
Sincerely,
