Georgia Seeks Impeachment Os Justices Impeachment Move Is Attacked Today As Shabby'Device ATLANTA, Ga. <UP>—Gov. Marvin Griffin’s move to impeach six justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, including Chief Justice Earl Warren, was attacked today as a "shabby device.” , Griffin's lieutenants planned to introduce formally in the Georgia House of Representatives today a resolution accusing Mr. Warren, Justices William O. Douglas, Hugo Black, Felix Frankfurter, Tom Clark and Stanley F. Reed of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” • At least three other states were expected to join in Georgia's move in retaliation for decisions outlawing forms of segregation in the South. They are Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Desegregation Not Mentioned The resolution does not mention desegregation decisions handed down by the Supreme Court. But most of its citations concern participation of the justices in decisiona which sponsors considered "sbft" toward Communists or illegal usurpation of states rights. President Jacob S. Potofsky of the Sidney Hillman Foundation attacked the resolution for mentioning Douglas’ acceptance of a SI,OOO foundation award. The resolution said Douglas and Black accepted "awards of money and things of value” from Communist front organizations while members of the court. It referred to a dispatch published by the New York Times reporting the presentation of the Sidney Hillman Award to Douglas citing hirr» fV 1 “one ol most steadfast guardians ot our individual liberties.” , Claims Smear Campaign Potofsky called this “a perfectly shabby device” to “smear” Douglas by calling the foundation “as Communist.. .. by innuendo. ” Potofsky listed former recipients Os; the award as including former President Truman. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Roman Catholic Bishop

Wayne D Morse of Oregon and former Social Security Administrator Oscar Ewing. "No one but a bigot would Characterize any of this distinguished company as Communist of proCommunist,” Potofsky said. He said the foundation "honored justice Douglas in 1952 because they regarded him as a great American . . .” The resolution accused all six justices of "attempting to subvert the Constitution of the United States and of high crimes and mis- ' demeanors in office and of giving aid and comfort to enemies of the ’ United States.” i . Trim Mental Health I : Budget $2 Million r Earmarks $1 Million j For Construction ; INDIANAPOLIS (UP)— An In- ; diana House committee studying , the state biennial budget for 1957- \ 59 trimmed the mental health division’s requests by two million dollars Wednesday night but ear- ! marked a million-dollar item it I left in the budget for the start t of construction of a maximum . security unit at Norman Beatty . Hospital. I The Ways & Means “A” Com- - mittee’s latest cut in the proposed 790 million dollar budget f brought the total reductions since - the committee started working to - 24 million dollars. > However, chairman Paul Clay (R-Indianapolis) said the commitl tee voted to set aside a million r dollars, from a six million dol- ■ lar construction fund the mental : health division now has, to start building a unit for insane crim- • inals at the Westville institution. The earmarking of the fund ■ was in line with a recent state- ! ment by Governor Handley that 1 he favored an entirely new unit ’ at Beatty at a cost estimated at five million dollars rather than J pairs and remodeling which juld cost from one-half to one illion dollars. ’ ,Clay said? he hopes the committee will have the budget ready ’ t| present the House as a com- ’ rpittee of the whole Friday or Monday. > . „a ■ ... r—-■ ; ■■■■■- ■ ■*;.

lowa Farm Boy Is Easter Seal Child Polio-Crippled Boy Is Selected CHICAGO (UP) — A frecklefaced, 5-year-old lowa farm boy was chosen today as the 1957 Easter Seal child. Little Walter Bill Cash, who wants to be a farmer despite a paralyzed left leg he suffered in a polio attack, was named by the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults to represent thousands of crippled youngsters in the Easter Seal campaign starting March 15. Walter Bill Will visit the White House to meet Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, officially opening the drive. He will make personal appearances on network televisioh shows. Walter Bill is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cash, owners of a 160acre farm at Clear Lake, lowa. An acute attack of polio When he was 2 years old left him with a totally paralyzed left leg and a weak right leg. The Easter Seal center at Mason City gave the boy modern rehabilitation treatment and training. Walter Bill is nearly ready to discard his crutches now, society officials said, although he probably will have to wear a brace on his right leg the rest of his life. He gradually has taken over his share of farm chores. He bottlefeeds orphaned twin lambs, helps feed seven sheep, curries his own pony and occasionally gathers eggs. Trucks Are Delayed Enroute To Fires INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Firetrucks had their troubles in Indiana Wednesday. At Indianapolis, a truck racing to a burning home bogged down to its axle in a muddy street while two other trucks continued to the scene and put out the flames. At Kendallville, a truck enroute to a minor blaze had to detour through the business district because a delivery truck blocked an alley.
