Shipment Turned Up
A Department of Commerce spokesman admits that the investigation, which began more than a month ago, has turned up the fact that several previous large shipments of “rags” have been sent from the same firm in Detroit to Holland and for transshipment to North Africa. He also states that the investigation has revealed absolutely no violation of any law or regulation on the part of the Detroit firm in the transactions. He says that the uniforms were purchased “legitimately from various places all over the country,” including surplus stores. No export license is required for either rags or new clothing. The shipment was labeled “old clothes as rags.” And on the basis of the technicality of whether or not the uniforms were “rags” the shipment was held up. According to a Washington Customs spokesman, Customs agents have possession of the uniforms pending completion of the whole probe abroad. :

.
The crux of Mr. Mazelin's argument was that the girl is charged with violating her probation when she ran away from July, 1949, to January. However, he pointed out, the girl had remained at home with her mother from January until last week. And it was only after the Owen case was lost that Juvenile Court jailed her on thd® old charge,
The girl's mother testified foday that the girl has been “wellbehaved” and that she has complied with all provisions of her probation.
The henna -haired teen-ager was her own star witness ‘during most of yesterday’s session, Under questioning of her attorney she told of immunity promises that were made to her. She said these agreements were broken when she was arrested. An attempt to introduce the teen-ager’s statement of her six months cross-country trip with Owen was beaten down by Mr. Mazelin on the. grounds that it “privileged communication”
the further reason that it would incriminate the girl. It was this same stand that kept the statement out of the Owen case.
