Liberalism Of U.S. Supreme Court
Creates Habeas Corpus "Racket"
By CLARKE BEACH
WASHINGTON The clvil-rlghts-mindcd Supreme court's deter
mined effort to protect the rights of prisoners has brought it a
peck of trouble.
Many of Its decisions In the past 11 years have provided convicts
with new legal arguments to secure writs of habeas corpus. When
such writs are granted, the prisoner or his attorney is given a new
hearing in the lower court. In rare Instances the court, after re
viewing the record of the case, grants a new trial. In a few cases,
prisoners are set free if the prosecuting attorney decides that the
state no longer has a good
So writs of habeas corpus rep
resent most prisoners' sole hope
for a speedy release. When the
Supreme court became more and
more critical of lower courts or
local police officials who it felt
violated a Drisoner's constitution-
el rights, the prisoners
about it ana promptly .ook

cently that the Supreme court In
its last term received 455 peti
tions from state or federal pris
oners who claimed there was
something illegal about their con
victions or their treatment in jau.
Only 22 such petitions were re
ceived by the high court in 1930.
The prisoners often act on their
own, without help of a lawyer.
They frequently write informal,
penciled notes to the court. Vin
son said that 96 out of 100 of them
have little or no legal merit. Yet
all that are received have to be
given a number and full consider
ation. Nearly all of them are
turned down, but a few each
term receive an open hearing.
Cases In Point Cited
The habeas corpus epidemic
heard
au-
re-
started after the Johnson versus
Zervst decision In 1938, when the
court found that the trial court
had not riven the prisoner nis
constitutional right to legal coun
sel. The McNabb case, In 1H4J,
provided new hope for writ-hungry
prisoners. In It the court de
cided the convicts had been held
too long between the time of ar
rest and arraignment, ine last
bie ha'ieas corpus nush came aft
er the decision in the Tony Ma
rino case in 1947. That too Involv
ed the issue of lack of proper
legal counsel.
Vinson says the burden on the
Supreme court could be relieved
If the states and lower courts
would see that prisoners always
got a habeas corpus hearing
where It was luslilled. But tne
lower courts have found their
work load increased as much as
that of the Supreme court.
Branded as "Racket"
Judge Louis E. Goodman, of
the U.S. District court in San
Francisco, in 1947 told how Alca-
traz prisoners keep that court
constantly busy. Between 1937
and 1947 there were aba petitions
filed by 180 inmates.

Degenerate
Parentage Plea
In Murder Case
TACOMA. P John Ed
ward Summers, 33-year-old ex
convict, went into court here to
hear the state outline its first de
gree murder case against him,
A Jury of nine women and three
men will try Summers for the
shooting of Howard Easlcy, 63,
last summer.
Summers has admitted shoot
lug down both Easley and his wife
last July 16 and defense Attorney
Roswell Quinn Indicated repeated
ly In questioning prospective
jurors that he would not contest
his client's guilt.
Time after time, Summers
asked if jurors would take into
consideration that Summers'
mother was a prostitute, practiced
bootlegging and had married a
Negro.
Then he asked:
"Would you feel society owes
anything to a defendant so raised
especially if the defendant
comes Into court and admits in
his testimony that he is guilty
of first degree murder?"
The trial will be conducted with
out an alternate Juror. The 46
man panel was exhausted as at
torneys were choosing the 13th
member and Superior Judge Ern
est M. Card ruled against draw
ing a new panel.
Death of Easleys was uncov
ered when relatives appeared at
the elderly couple's suburban i

strangers who said it had been
loaned to them by a man they
met at a ?rvlce station.
Summer was captured by the
FBI in San Francisco after a
coast-wide search was touched
off by discovery of the Easleys'
bullet-riddled bodies beside a lone
ly Cascade mountain road.
Russia Stalls On
Return Of Ships
WASHINGTON, (IP) Rus
sia has told the United States
she won't be able to return two
borrowed ice breakers next
Thursday, as promised, because
they are "Inextricable caught"
in an Arctic ice pack.
The Soviets said, however, a
third lend-lease ice breaker will
be handed over December 1 to
U.S. Naval officials in Yokosuka,
Japan.
American oiticiais are Known
to be surprised at the Russian
story because the ice breakers
are among the most modern
afloat and were designed to plow
through even the heaviest floes.
They were lend-leased to Russia
In 1944 and 1945 shortly after
tney were punt.
The United States has flatly re
fused to sell the vessels to Rus
sia, presumably because of their
war potential.
Return of the Ice breakers and
27 frigates, which the Soviets
handed back last week, were
finally separated from the long-
drawn out talks about settlement
of Russia lend-lease debt of $11,-000,000,000;-
These discussions
still are stalemated.

ons the convicts take correspond
ence courses in law. In some ci
ties there are prisoners who act
as their own attorneys and make
headlines coming into court with
new petitions. It gives them a
trip downtown.
juage uoociman said tne na-
bcas corpus petitions had become
a "penitentiary racket." He was 1
plainly critical of the Supreme
court lor opening up new Ilelus
in which prisoners could abuse
the privilege of habeas corpus.
