TRIBUNE
No. 36
Finn Loses Bid
For Order Barring
New Deportation
San Francisco (IP) Ex--Communist
William Heikkila
lost a bid today to obtain a
permanent restraining order
barring the government from
again hustling him out of the
country.
: Federal Judge Edward P.
Murphy rejected the request
for. the ; order, by Lloyd E.
McMurray,; attorney for the
52-year-old - Finnish - born
draftsman. t .
The action came at a hear
ing on why District Immigra
tion Director Bruce . Barber
and his assistant, Stanley Ol
son, should not be held in civil
contempt for the one-armed
draftsman's abrupt deporta
tion two weeks ago.
Has Temporary Order
; The judge's decision on the
contempt issue was not ex
pected until later today.
McMurray asked for the
permanent restraining order
to back up a temporary one
he already has obtained to
prevent the "exporting, ex
cluding or jailing" of Heik
kila. He demanded it on grounds
the government claims that
now that Heikkila has actually
set foot on his native Finland
he can be sent back at any
time.
On the contempt issue, Bar
ber testified that he was told
by U. S. Assistant Attorney
Elmer Collett that there was
no court matter pending at
the time to prevent Heikkila's
deportation.
Battle Expected '
Asked by- McMurray about
the ."cloak and dagger'.' spir
iting of the draftsman from
the. country, Barber said he
feared they would have diffi
culty seizing him.
"I had visions of having to
carry Heikkila with a man
on each arm and. leg," Bar
ber said. "In my opinion we
are not dealing here with a
completely reformed Commu
nist." McMurray claimed that
Heikkila was merely a "de
pression Communist" who
worked "for bread, relief and
unemployment insurance."

Russia Rejects
U.S. Proposal
For Safeguard
United Nations, N. Y. IP
Russia today vetoed in the
U.N. Security Council a U.S.
proposal to establish an Arctic
"open skies" inspection sys
tem as a safeguard, against
surprise attack. .
The vote was 10 to 1 in fav
or of the American resolution
proposing the northern inspec
tion system. Russia's single
vote, as a permanent member
of the Security Council, block
ed its adoption.
, It was toe 83rd time Russia
had used its U.N. veto. Of
these, 47 vetoes were used on
membership questions.
Japan Move Fails ,
An adjournment moved by
Japan at the end of this morn
ing's council meeting failed to
produce agreement "upon a
plan backed by India and oth
ers to have Council President
C.S.A. Ritchie of Canada ex
press the consensus of the 11
nation group as favoring the
American plan.
The proposal grew out of
complaint by Russia that H
bombers of the U.S. Strategic
Air Command were flying
Arctic alert missions "toward
the frontiers of the Soviet Un
ion." Interested in Anxieties
U.S. Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge told the council
Russia's veto demonstrated
that the "Soviet Union is
more interested in bringing to
the world anxieties instead of
trying to allay fears."
"This," Lodge said, "is
merely an attempt to keep
U.S. Air Force planes on the
ground where they would be
sitting ducks for a surprise at
tack." Russia called the plan "con
trol without disarmament"
and criticized Secretary-general
Dag Hammarskjold for
having endorsed it. Soviet Am
bassador Arkady A. Sobolev
told the council there was "no
ground for any change" in
Russia's opposition.
