_A—10 D.G. HIGH COURT RESUMES TUESDAY Test Looms for New Law Allowing U. S. Workers. on Grand Jury. The Fall term of the District Su- preme Court will begin Tuesday, end- ing inactivity which started with the Summer recess last June. The following Monday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Dis- trict will resume sessions, and many cases of interest are scheduled for early hearing before each tribunal. All justices of the trial court, save Justice Daniel W. O’Donoghue, will hear motions for the first two days of the term, clearing up contested matters which have been held over during the Summer. Justice O'Don- oghue will be in Criminal Court No. 1 and will select & new grand jury. New Law May Be Tested. There has been considerable dis- cussion whether he will take a chance on the validity of the new District Jaw making Government employes eligible for jury service and appoint any such persons to the grand jury panel. Lawyers and court attaches predict | that a test of the law on constitu- tional grounds will be forthcoming. | if the courts should nullify the new | la%, any indictments returned by a | grand jury including a Government | employe would be thrown out. Among the mort important cases| expected to come before the Supreme | Court this Fall is the petition for an | injunction to prevent application of the newly-enacted Guffey coal act to the Carter Coal Co. This was the first constitutional challenge of the | law made in the courts and probably | will be advanced on the calendar for early hearing. The Government's | answer must be filed by October 2. Among the criminal cases scheduled for trial early in October is that in- volving John C. Grayson, formerly em= ployed in the office of the national bank examiner for this district, who is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States Government, in con= nection with shortages at the now de- funct Park Savings Bank. Grayson is {1l and the date of his trial is con- tingent on his health. McNeil's Trial October 21. Benedict M. McNeil, formerly as- sistant cashier of the Park Savings | Bank, is to be tried October 21 on charges of conspiracy to commit lar- ceny and embezzlement. The trial of Representative John H. Hoeppel of California and his son, Charles Hoeppel, charged with con- spiracy to sell a West Point appoint- ment, is scheduled to begin November 11, and Col. Joseph I. McMullen, high War Department official, who is ac- cused of lobbying for private inter- ests, probably will come to trial shortly thereafter. In the same month the Government will attempt to prove a charge of con- | spiracy to violate the liquor taxing law against 34 persons alleged to com- | prise a huge bootleg ring operating throughout the East. | The civil calendar for the court has | on it 1648 cases, as of August 31. Of these, 1,132 are in law and 516 in equity, putting the court nine months behind in the former category and about seven months behind in the latter. Trial Judges Named. Trial judges for civil suits will be Justice Oscar R. Luhring, Equity No.) 1; Justice Jesse C. Adkins, Equity No. | 2. Justice Jennings Bailey, Equity No. | 3; Justice James M. Proctor, Circuit | No. 1; Justice Joseph W. Cox, Cir-| cuit No. 2, and Justice Peyton Gordon, | Circuit No. 3. | Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat will sit in Motions Court, Justice O'Donoghue in Criminal Court No. 1| and Justice F. Dickinson Letts in| Criminal Court No. 2. In the Court of Appeals the first case scheduled for argument is the Oklahoma Utilities Co. suit to enjoin Secretaryv Ickes from granting a P. W. A. loan to the municipality of Hominy, Okla., for construction of a power plant. On the outcome of this case -depends in large measure the fate of six similar injunction suits now pending in the District Supreme Court. Custody Suit on Docket. Next on the calendar is the attempt of Mrs, Helen Villapiano, divorced wife of the late Albert J. Sardo, Washing- ton undertaker, to gain custody of her 8-year-old son, Albert J. Sardo, jr., now with the child’s grandfather, William H. Sardo. The child’s father was killed last February in an auto- mobile accident. Other cases pending in the appelate court include that of Sam Beard and 13 other defendants, convicted on a gaming charge, and the California redwood case, involving an alleged conspiracy to defraud the Government in connection with the use of the wood in a Texas P. W. A, irrigation project. RIS, Clergymen Jailed. For tearing down Nazi placards, Father Reckman, s parish priest in Westphalia, and Father Holtkamp, chaplain of a Cologne hospital, are serving four months in a German prison. Won’t Salute CHILD, 8, IN DISPUTE OVER G. CARLTON B. NICHOLS, Lynn, Mass, third-grade pupil, who provided a poser for city and State officials after he refused to salute the flag yesterday.
