By the Associatea Press. RICHMOND, Va, April 8-The United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments yesterday on the appeal of Jesse C. Duke, Wash- ington attorney, from a District Court conviction at Alexandria of attempting to influence the action of a Federal grand jury. Duke, now out on bond, was sen- tenced to four months at Camp Lee in information proceedings charging him with handing a juror a sealed communication while the grand jury was considering a charge against him of haboring former Representative J. H. Hoeppel of California while the latter was a Federal fugitive. The attorney was indicted on' the harboring charge, but that case has not yet come to trial. Hoeppel and his son Charles were convicted in the District of Columbia last year of conspiring to sell an ap- pointment to West Point. Duke ap- peared as their attorney after their arrest in Richmond and during unsuc- cessful attempts to obtain their release on a writ of habeas corpus. Jacob L. Morewitz of Newport News appeared on behalf of Duke before the Circuit Court yesterday, while District Attorney Sterling Hutcheson appeared for the Government,. Sit-Down (Continued From First Page.) toward the projected inquiry, but said they had not intention of trying to stop it. Rayburn said he was supporting it because he could not “be put in a position of condoning sit-downs.” Rep- resentative Boland, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, majority whip, opposed it as “only a gesture.” The self-styled House liberal bloc also announced its opposition. An- | other group proposed bringing other kinds of strikes and company viola= tions of the Wagner labor relations act in the range of the inquiry. The investigation resolution would set up a seven-man House committee | to look into every phase of the sit- down strike situation, with a view to drafting remedial legislation. Representative Dies, Democrat, of - 2y &7 ] SLON |, 5 PAINTS THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1937. ‘Texas, author of the House measure, said the Senate policy statement “has no legal force whatever and will be construed throughout the country as & mere gesture.” Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas, majority leader, conceded that Congress could “only feel regret and continue to look for some way to enforce this policy” should it be violated. He told reporters he hoped it would prevent illegal action by both employers and employes. Bome administration Senators, ex- pressing confidence the Wagner labor relations act will be upheld by the Bupreme Court, said the sit-down resolution might really mean some- thing in that case. Efforts then would be made, some legislators indicated, to pass an act outlawing sit-downs and to enact a measure against labor espionage by employers. The resolution contalned three points: It called sit-down strikes “illegal and contrary to sound public policy.” It declared the “so-called industrial spy system” bred fear, suspicion and animosity, and tended to cause strikes and industrial warfare, It held it was against sound public policy for an employer to deny the right of collective bargaining, to foster company unions, or to engage in other unfair labor practices defined in the Wagner act. Benators Borah, Republican of Idaho, PFrazier, Republican, of North Dakota, and Lundeen, Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota, cast the only votes against the resolution, offered by a group of administration members after the Senate refused to include a denunciation of sit-down strikes in the coal control bill.
