Soviets Purge
Six Justices
Of High Court
LONDON (UP) Soviet Russir
purged its Supreme Court todaj
in a mysterious move which Sovie'
experts here believed may br
linked to the recent top level shif
in power in the Kremlin.
Moscow Radio, monitored here
announced that six justices of the
liighest court in Russia have beer
ousted and replaced.
The Soviet Supreme Court is the
court of final jurisdiction in cases
of treason, sabotage and other
high crimes against the state.
No reason was given for the
shakeup. But it was assumed that
the judges who were ousted had a
hand in rendering some decision
not popular with the new regime.
There was speculation that there
might have been some connection
with the still hazy case of the
"nine doctors" who were accused
during Staling last days of plotting
to muraer Kussia s top leaders and
then were exonerated when Georgi
Malenkov became Premier. With
his fall from the top Soviet politi
cal post and the .appointment, of
Marshal Nikolai Bulganln as Pre
mier, it wus believed the case may
have been reopened again.
A less likely possibility yas that
the drastic court shakeup had
some connection with the ouster,
trial and execution of Russia's
former security chief. Idvrenti
Beria.
It was generally agreed her
that the announcement indicates
some significant shift in Soviet
Communism line.

Relatives' Act
Unconstitutional,
Lonergan Rules j
' PORTLAND (UP) Multnomah;
County Circuit Judge Frank , J.
Lonergan yesterday declared un
constitutional the 'state's relatives'
responsibility act.
Judge Lonergan . said the law
was "so conflicting, vague, indef
inite and uncertain as to be in
capable of interpretation."
He further, declared the -1949 law
was "unreasonable, arbitrary, dis
criminatory and oppressive In that
It fixes an Inflexible jcale deter
mining the liability of responsible
relatives without relation to ability
to pay ... or pro rata assessment
on all liable relatives."
' The decision was handed down
in a suit brought by Alma D. Mai
latt, Portland school teacher,
against the state Public Welfare
Commission.
The plaintiff, who had been or
dered by the welfare commission
to pay $70 monthly toward the
support of her parents, challenged
the validity of the law. She asked
the court to determine whether
her brothers and sisters, should
not be equally liable on a pro rata
basis depending on their incomes.
Judge Lonergan criticized the
law, which was amended In 1953.
for singling out one or several of
responsible relatives and holding
such persons liable for the full
measure of contribution.
The Judge, in declaring the law
unconstitutional, issues a condition
al decree which would authorize
the state Legislature to correct Its
faults before it is voided. The rul
ing would take effect April 15.
