Mitchell was asked his opin
ion of the dispute by J. L. Mc
Breen of the International Asso
ciation of Machinists. He grinned
and said, ' I detect the overtones
of politics in this."
Confidence Told
He said he wouldn't enter the
dispute because "I couldn't pos
sibly and I don't intend to know
the merits of every individual
labor dispute in this country."
He added that he had enough
confidence in the strength of the
machinists for them "to right
any wrong done them."
Mitchell said he favored
amendment of the Taft-Hartley
labor law but doubted that Con
gress would act on President Ei
senhower's proposed changes.
He said the law has become such
a political football that few
lawmakers view it objectively.
To Seek Expanded Coverage
Mitchell said the administra
tion would seek expanded cover
age of workers under the mini
mum wage law. He hopes the
next session of Congress will
make more changes in social se
curity legislation.
He told the council in a brief
talk that the administration has
done a good job in the labor
field pointing to high employ
ment and low number of strikes.
Earlier, in a press conference,
Mitchell said he disagreed with
Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizo
na, chairman of the Republican
senatorial committee who re
cently accused labor leaders of
using "violence and coercion"' in
political areas.
REASON ENOUGH
Providence, R.I. 'UR) "Why
are you crying?" a puzzled
judge inquired when Mrs. Jac
queline Rodgers appeared in
court on a speeding charge. She
pointed to a courtroom black
board bearing the words, "Fa
talities to date 9," and sobbed,
"My husband was one of them."
The judge dismissed the case.

Military Code
Provision Held
Unconstitutional
Washington (UP.) The Su
preme Court, by striking down
a vital part of the nation's mili
tary code, may have opened
stockade doors for three ex-GIs
who went over to the Commun
ists in Korea.
The high court ruled unconsti
tutional Monday a provision of
the 1950 Uniform Code of Mili
tary Justice under which the
armed forces have arrested vet
erans charged with serious crime
overseas. The tribunal's 6-3 de
cision in effect held that once
a soldier becomes a civilian he
must be tried in civil court rath
er than by court martial.
Immediate Freedom Demanded
The three turncoats, now in
the Army stockade at Fort Bak
er, Calif., demanded immediate
freedom in view of the Supreme
Court's ruling. A hearing on their
plea was set for today in federal
court at San Franciscso.
The three William A. Cow
aft, 22, Dalton, Ga.; Lewis W.
Griggs, Jacksonville, Tex., and
Otho G. Bell, Hillsboro, Miss.
were arrested and held for courts
martial on their return to the
United States from Red China
last summer. They had turned
their backs on repatriation after
the Korean armistice but chang
ed their minds later.
Decision In Toth Case
The Supreme Court's far
reaching decision was made in
the case of Robert W. Toth, a
Pittsburgh, Pa., veteran, whom
the Air Force sought to court
martial for the murder of a Kor
ean civilian. The ruling com
pletely cleared Toth, since no
American court under present
law has jurisdiction over a crime
committed overseas.
In addition'- to the turncoats,
the cases in which the Army act
ed under the law thrown out by
the Supreme Court involve Pvt.
John D. Martin, Tule Lake, Cal.,
and Edward C. Kirby, Council
Bluffs, la. '
The Army would not state
what effect the court's decision
would have until the opinion was
studied by Army lawyers.
However, the ruling apparent
ly applies to the three turncoats,
since ihey are now civilians,
having received dishonorable
discharges while they were em
bracing Communism in China.
But there is still the possibility
they could be tried in civil
courts on treason charges.
San Francisco (UP.) Fed
eral Judge Louis E. Goodman
scheduled a hearing late today
to consider a plea for freedom
filed by attorneys for three ex-
GI turncoats.
The attorneys had sought writs
of habeas corpus two months
ago, but Judge Goodman defer
red acting on them until the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled yes
terday that the Army may not
try discharged servicemen for
offenses committed while in the
service.
Japan Mayors'

Yokohama (UP.) Forty
three U. S. West Coast and Ha
waiian municipal officials and
