DEWEY & THE OLD GUARD Y WI It6 D71alit b SNOW AND COLDER See Page 4 Latest Deadline in the State VOL. Lk, No. 9' ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1950' SIX PAGES Judge Orders Contempt Citation for UM !\ WASHINGkTON -(P) - Federal Judge Richmond B. Keech yester- day hurled a criminal contempt of court citation at John L. Lewis' striking union for defying the court's order to dig coal. The United Mine Workers, which twice before has paid heavy fines for flouting a judge's command, must appear Friday and explain why 372,000-soft coal workers have refused since last Monday to obey. IF THE union's story doesn't satisfy the court, a trial will beI held next Monday. Lewis himself was not named in agovernment petition which asked the court to take action against the union for civil and criminal contempt. The UMW chietain has publicly called on his men twice to bow to the court's directive issued under the Taft-Hartley Act. The action came as the East suddenly found itself in the grip of bitter cold with many a house- holder's coal bin nearly empty. The nation's pile of bituminous coal for all purposes was below a normal 10-day, supply. Work Order .. KEECH SIGNED the citation at request of the Justice Department a few hours after he had renewed his back to work order for another 10 days. The original restrainer was signed Saturday, Feb. 11. The extension allows time for the judge to rule on President Truman's request for an 80-day national emergency injunction against the strike under the Taft-Hartley Law. The renewal followed a two-hour conference in the judge's chambers with both sides. Elsewhere another session of the extended negotiations between union and operators over a new contract ground to a fruitless re- cess. Federal Mediator Cyrus S. Ching, an observer, said he saw no sign of progress. ** * TECHNICALLY the citation is a "rule to show cause" why the union should not be punished. Assistant Attorney General H. Graham Morison indicated that the union could "purge" itself of the charge by returning to work before Friday. Apparently the only chance of this was an unexpected agreement between Lewis and the operators. * * * Heavy Fine... THUS there was a prospect of another heavy fine on the United Mine Workers. Their treasury, now worth between $13,000,000 and $20,000,000, has given up $2,- 130,000 for two contempt convic- tions. The first fine was $710,000. The next one was doubled. The Federal Court can make the fine as heavy as it likes. There was some talk that Presi- dent Truman might ask Congress, for powers to seize the mines, al- though he has said he does not want such power. LEWIS had no comment on the developments. Mediator Ching told reporters that Lewis and the operators are standing on their 'previous posi- tions, without budging. Ching said the main items in the dispute are the union's pro- posals for a wage increase, wel- fare fund boost, and shorter work day. Ching declined to say exactly what Lewis is asking. It is understood, however, that the UMW chief is requesting a $15.50 daily wage as compared with the present $14.05, a boost in the 20-cent welfare tonnage roy- alty to 35 cents, and a reduction of the 8-hour day to 7 1/2 hours. Remain o Court _ , 4 41 High Court ays Area Search Y Rule Gives Powers to Extra Police WASHINGTON-(P)-The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that when police legally arrest a man they may also search a limited area under his immediate control for evidence of a crime. But the court laid down no sharp guide as to how far they may go. The vote was 5 to 3. *, *- * * JUSTICE FRANKFURTER, who dissented, protested that the de- cision "makes a mockery of the fourth amendment" to the U.S. con- stitution, which bans unreasonable search and seizure. In a somewhat similar case, the Court ruled 6-2 that a home owner may refuse to admit a ci -+ a Choose Jury For 'Merey Killer'_Trial MANCHESTER, N.H.-(P) -Dr. Hermann Nelson Sander kept his' head high yesterday as he watched1 the seating of nine of the 13 jur- ors who will try him for murder as an accused "mercy slayer." Appearing calmly confident of acquittal, the 41year-old country doctor broke through a poker face with an occasional faint smile as the stage was set for a trial that has already rocked the medical world. DR. SANDER is specifically ac- cused of killing Mrs. Abbie Borroto, 59, Manchester housewife, by giv- ing her air injections to cut short her suffering from cancer. Dr. Sander left the courthouse with Mrs. Sander to spend the night at home, still free under $25,000 bail. If Counsel for Dr. Sander have carefully guarded their defense with indications they may con- centrate their case on the con- tention Mrs. Borroto died solely from cancer. Truman Plan For H-Bormb CalledUnwise By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - A Quaker leader yesterday branded Presi- dent Truman's order to make the hydrogen bomb "unwise and im- moral," contending that first there should be strenuous new efforts to make peace. Samuel R. Levering, of the Friends (Quaker) Committee on National Legislation, said there is a chance that Russia might ac- cept a disarmament plan and might join the U.S. in a world welfare program. MEANWHILE, America's de9 Tense chiefs were reported pushing plans for development of the world's first atom-powered sub- marine--a project that might re- volutionize naval warfare. On Capitol Hill, Congress mem- bers began booming sites ranging from Kentucky's famed Mammoth Cave to the cornfields of Iowa for setting up an alternate capital in the event Washington is "blitzed" by an atomic attack. ty health inspector who does %New York stamp dealer, Frank- not have a search warrant. The case arose here. In the first case, which involved New York Stamp dealer, Frank- !rter said the Court had over- urned a long series of unanimous lecisions, some of them handed own in recent years. HE DECLARED that the Court should show "respect for.contin- uity in law," a seeming reference to the tribunal's newer members. The majority opinion in the case was written by Justice Min- ton, the Court's newest member. Also in the majority was Justice Clark. Minton and Clark were appointed last year following the deaths of Justices Rutledge and Murphy. Also in the majority were Chief Justice Vinson and Justices Reed and Burton. Justice Jackson joined in Frankfurter's dissent, and Jus- tice Black wrote another dissent. Justice Douglas took no part. MINTON SAID for the majority that the search of the stamp deal- er's office was reasonable because he had a prior record of selling al- tered stamps and because his ar- rest was legally made on a war- rant. He was careful to say, how- ever, that yesterday's decision could not be regarded as binding in all similar cases. "What is a reasonable search is not to be determined by any fixed formula," Minton said. "The re- curring questions of the reason- ableness of searches must f 1,d resolution in the facts and cir- cumstances of each case." FRANKFURTER acknowledged that the case involved "a squalid little defrauder," but he said the effect of the majority decision is to give law officers an "utterly free hand . . . to rummage all over the house" so long as they make a legal arrest. "Arrest under a warrant for a minor or trumped-up charge has been familiar practice in the past, is a commonplace in the police state of today, and is too-well known in this country," Frankfur- ter said.

Vogeler, young American business man, at the end of his trial on spying and sabotage charges today. His British aid, Edgar Sanders, and three Hungarian co-defend- ants faced the same possible sent- ence. Two other Hungarians were liable to maximum sentences of 15 years. THE FIVE-MAN People's Court will hand down its verdict at 1 p.m. today. Vogeler, 39-year-old assistant vice-president of the International Telephoneand Telegraph Com- pany, speaking in a low, calm voice, himself renewed his plea for a "mild sentence.,, Prosecutor Gyula Alapi, whc e pleas sent Josef Cardinal Mind- szenty to prison for life and Laszald Rajk, Hungary's No. 2 Communist to the gallows, then declared Vogeler and' Sanders "great spies" and demanded the "severest punishment'' for all the defendants. Vogeler, Sanders, Imre Geiger, Hungarian manager of the Stan- dard Electric Company, t h e I.T.&T. subsidiary here, Zoltan Rado, a department chief in the ministry of heavy industry; and Klemen Domokos, Standard Elec- tric accountant, all were prose- cuted under article three of an act of 1930 which provides for the death penalty for espionage. They also were charged with sabotage. another offense punishable by death. Students Plan Court Action Nine Negro studentsgot set yes- terday to enter court action after being denied admittance to the University of Delaware, Newark, Del. Louis A. Redding, Negro attor- ney of Wilmington, indicated he would take the case to court after the school's board of trustees re- jected the nine's entrance appli- cations. A UNIVERSITY administration ruling two years ago permitted Ne- groes to enroll at Delaware "for courses of study leading to a de- gree for which a course of study leading to the same degree is not furnished in any institution pro- vided by this state within this state." In this light, university spokesmen explained, the only course thus open to Negroes is in the graduate engineering school. The group sought admis- sion to the undergraduate school. Workers Defiant "Injustice and arrogance will al- ways lead to violence-the Indo- nesian revolution shows that dis- crimination, as the Dutch prac- tised it, doesn't pay," Raden Su- wanto, cultural and educational attache to the Indonesian Embas- sy declared last night at the Stu- dent Religious Association's an- nual Brotherhood Banquet. It was the practise of the Dutch planters to oppress the Javanese farmers by using the most fertile lands for their own plantations, Suwanto explained. * * * "AS A LITTLE BOY, I was so 1 515 Receive U' Diplomas Diplomas are now in the mail for a record-breaking 1,515 grad- uates who completed degree re- quirements earlier this month.

All but two of the University's 14 schools were represented in the list - the medical and nursing schools.

The Dutch practise was to treat "Europeans" as superior, Suwanto said, "and Europeans' generally meant anyone but the native Jay- anese," he remarked. a "IT WAS INTERESTING to me to watch the Indo-Europeans after the revolution painstakingly try- ing to point up their Indonesian background when beforethey were anxious to be considered Euro- peans," Suwanto noted. Suwanto said he believed the Dutch would find that there was more opportunity for them in the islands now that1 they were no longer trying to force inequal- ity on the Indonesians.

A jury trial was set for 9 a.m. March 9, by Municipal Judge Francis L. O'Brien, before whom Dr. Sullenberger was arraigned. DR. SULLENBERGER, was re- leased under a $50 cash bond.
