Deny Civil Rights Os Bird Violated Hoosier To Germany For Court Martial ' Washington, May 4 — (UP) — The attorney general’s office has informed Sen. William E. Jenner, R., Ind., that no civil rights were i violated in the return of a civilian from the United States to Germ- : any to face a court martial. Jenner made public a letter from the justice department on the case ; of Russell G. Bird of Mishawaka, . Ind. i The letter said Bird and “one [ James W. Mobley” were black marketing while employed as civil- ! ians in Germany and held for court martial. The justice department said they escaped to Holland and then made the trip by plane to the United ; States. i After Bird’s return to the United States he was picked up at Mishawaka by military authorities, held at Fort Sheridan, 111., for three weeks, and flown back to Germany. He claimed he was extradited illegally to Germany and petitioned the supreme court for a hearing. j The supreme court turned down the request. At the same time the petition was filed with the high court, a similar petition was filed with a federal district court here. The district court dismissed it, claiming it had no jurisdiction. Bird’s attorney carried the case to the court of appeals where it has not been acted upon. Jenner also made public a letter from army secretary Kenneth C. Ro.vall stating that Bird's charge he was denied counsel was not true. Royall said Joseph S. Robinson, civilian attorney in New York State, was employed as special defense counsel for Bird at his request.
