High Court Tightens fications for Convictions, WASHINGTON, June 12 (U. P). «The supreme court, concluding its 1043-44 term, tightened up today on the degree of proof required for sedition convictions and for revocation of naturalization papers. The court noted that the country is engaged in a total war, but said that even so the evidence in such cases must leave no doubt in a jury's mind of the intent of the utterances. | It held that a citizen has the privilege of engaging in “immoderate and vicious invective” without running afoul of the sedition law:| and that a naturalized citizen) should not have his citizenship revoked merely because of “the ex-| pression of silly or even sinister-| sounding views which native-born citizens utter with impunity.”

Ruling on Unions

In another important decision handed down in the last session before the summer recess, the court ruled that a labor union leader may not withhold records of the union from a grand jury on grounds that the records might incriminate him. The court set aside, 5 to 4, the five-year prison sentence imposed on Elmer Hartzell, world war I veteran of Chicago, who was convicted of promoting insubordination and disJoyally among members of the, armed forces by writing and dis-| tributing a series of articles which!

the government viewed as anti-| Roosevelt, anti-British and anti-| Jewish. |

There was immediate speculation] that the ruling might have an effect on the big sedition trial currenily in progress here, in which 29 persons are accused of conspiring to undermine the morale of the armed forces.

Lower Courts Reversed

In the citizenship case, the court held unanimously that lower courts were wrong in revoking the citizenship of Carl Wilhelm Baumgartner, German-born Kansas City - utility worker whose papers were cancelled on grounds that he maintained proGerman leanings and took his citisenship oath with reservations. Frankfurter, the only naturalized citizen on the court, delivered the majority opinion. “The evidence in the record before us,’ "he said, “is not sufficiently compelling to require that we penalize a naturalized citizen for the expression of silly or even sinistersounding views which native-horn eftizens could utter with impunity.”

Quali-|

WORD COMING FROM Washington is that William L. Hutcheson

of Indianapolis, internationa] president of the carpenters’ union, is being mentioned in some circles as a G. O. P. vice presidential

possibility.

Mr. Hutcheson could not b reached for comment and District Chairman James L. Bradford said he knew nothing of the talk.

But other informed Republican leaders who keep in touch with party politics nationally say that Mr. Hutcheson very definitely would like “for lightning to strike.” They say that he does not intend to announce but that he is receptive and will go to Chicago as a delegate from Indiana, shake hands and hope that Governor Dewey may want a labor man as his running mate. These G. O. P. politicos who know of the situation say that Mr. Hutcheson hasn't a chance— that a big labor leader who has been in the middle of so many scraps would do more to harm the ticket than he could possibly do good and that Governor Dewey wants Governor Warren of California in the second spot anyway. The viewpoint of Mr. Hutcheson's friends is that by nominate ing him as vice president the Republican party would split the labor vote. Mr. Hutcheson's enemies - say

Just All Talk

ALL TALK (and it was just talk in the first place) of the possible ouster of G. O. P. State Chairman John Lauer was ended Saturday night when the district chairmen gave him an unanimous vote of confidence. Some district chairmen were angry because of Mr. Lauer's impromptu call of the meeting of convention delegates at which Robert W. Lyons was elected national committeeman. And it was from this that the ouster talk got its start. But while there was some disagreement on the legality of the national committeeman election, there was never any move to oust Mr. Lauer, » »

Found Manning. Defenses Against Invaders of French Coast.

By DUDLEY ANN HARMON United Press Staff Correspondent BRITISH INVASION PORT, June 12.—German women have been manning coastal defense guns in France, it was revealed today as preparations were made to accommodate 250 of them in a prisoner of war enclosure here.

The women, expected to arrive with the next group of prisoners, will be accorded the same treatment as the men. Large groups of male prisoners were delivered yesterday. The officers were arrogant and still confident Germany would win the war but most of the others were convinced the show was over.

I traveled on a hospital train with American and German wounded. The Germans, in soiled and torn green uniforms, groaned as they were lifted into the train and their calls for water and hypodermics kept medical attendants busy. At first the Germans watched expressionless as G. I's chatted informally with Maj. Thomas Purser, McComb, Miss, commander of the train.
