Government To Appeal Ruling In Gl's Case May Take Appeal In Case Directly Into U.S. Supreme Court WASHINGTON (UP)—The gov- ’ ernment today was expected to 1 bypass the U.S. Court of Appeals : and take its appeal in the Girard case directly to the Supreme Court. ! A decision already had been ; made to challenge in a higher i court Tuesday’s ruling by District > Court Judge Joseph C. McGar- > roghy. He held that the governr ment cannot proceed with its plan . to turn GI William S. Girard over . to the Japanese for a manslaughj ter but must try Girard before an , American military court-martial ’ Justice Department officials planned a top-level conference today to decide whether to ask the ’ supreme Court to assert jurisdic- • tion over the government’s ap- ; peal. Such a request would be • made on grounds that a final decision in the case is important to one phase of U.S. foreign policy. Background of Case The government, acting under an agreement with Japan, had decided in the interest of good rel lations with that country to reI lease Girard, a* 21-year-old soldier from Ottawa, 111., to a Japanese i court. He was to stand trial there I for killing Naka Sakai, a Japanese woman who was scavenging > for scrap metal on a military sirs ing range where Girard was on ofI ficial guard duty. But McGarraghy ruled that the ; governments’ decision, approved by President Eisenhower, “is illegal and in violation of the Consitution and laws of the United States.” He said that since Girard was “acting as a member of the ’ American armed forces in the performance of his official duties as I guard” when the shooting oc- ■ curred, he "is accountable only to t the United States federal jurisdic- [ tion.” Government officials said that if t the Supreme Court upholds this 1 ruling, the United States may be . forced to close many vital defense . bases overseas. , Jap Premier Arrives j* * To add further to the govern--5 ment’s discomfort, the McGarT raghy decision came on the eve bf today’s arrival here for a state, visit of Japanese Premier Nobue Kishi. White House Press • Secretary James C. Hagerty said ' “he did not know whether the Girard case would figure in convers sations between Eisenhower and s Kishi v In Tokyo, the Japanese procurator general said Japan has not changed its plans to try Girard. He said the McGarraghy decision "is based on American domestic law and as far as Japan is con- ■ cerned we will go on the pro- . nouncement of the American gov--5 ernment that Girard will be hand2 ed over to Japanese courts.” Girard himself, in a transpacific ’ telephone call to his brother at ' Ottawa, 111., said.
