Douglas declared in an unprece dented ruling which reprieved the Rosenbergs from their scheduled electrocution in Sing Sing prison tomorrow night: “I have serious doubt whether this death sentence may be imposed for this offense except and unless a jury recommends it. The Rosen bergs should have an opportunity to litigate that issue.” The 54-year-old jurist was refer ring to the Rosenberg’s conviction under the Espionage Act of 1917. The Rosenbergs’ lawyers contended that they should have been tried under - the—Atomic-Energy Act of 1946, which calls for the death pen alty only if recommended by a jury. The Douglas decision permits the Rosenbergs to bring before the high court their fifth appeal—a petition which only last week was rejected by the New York Court of Appeals. Douglas said that he would not issue a writ of habeas corpus hav ing the immediate effect of releas ing the Rosenbergs from prison. But he said: L * “I will grant a stay effective un til the quesion of the applicability .of the penal provisions of section 10 of the Atomic Energy Act to this 'j yers failed in their attempt to win a stay. Instead, it was won by a rival group of lawyers represent ing Los Angeles citizens Erwin Ed elm an who demanded a writ of habaes corpus on the specific grounds that the Rosenbergs had been improperly sentenced. However, this issue was con tained in the fifth appeal of the Rosenbergs which was rejected by the New York Court of Appeals last week. Edelman was represented by lawyers Daniel G. Marshall, a mem ber of the National Lawyers Guild, who told reporters he had b#en cit ed by the California state Un- American Activities Commission and by Fyke Farmer of Nashville, Tenn., an advocate of world goven- ment who wore a “Stop War” but- to nin his lapel Liquor Dealers Say Whiskey Sold -Illegally At -Roses-; Washington, June 16.—Liquor re tailers told Congress today that rieties of paint. Last year Boland and Co., were a little surprised*to discover that the Navy was turn ing out 150 different kinds of paint, from enamel light grey, to var nish, spar, general utility. They estimated that the Navy produced 10,000,000 gallons of paint a year, when it could buy the same buckets from them for less money. Banned Books Washington.—Sen. Henry M. Jack- son (D-Wash.) called on the State Department today to make public a list of all books banned from U S.; overseas information libraries for, possible Communist taint. He said the department should give “ a complete accounting” of its j around to extending the excess pro fits tax as requested by President Eisenhower, a view shared by a fi nance committee colleague, Senator George (D-Ga.) “I don't think we are going to have any tax bill this session,” George ob served. Noting Eisenhower’s estimate that failure to extend the excess profits levy for six months would cost the treasury 600 million dollars, Byrd said he believes foreign aid spending should be reduced mor« than a bil lion dollars below the approximately six billion dollar level now contem plated the. administration. “Unless foreign aid is cut, we are not going to come very close to bal ancing the budget in the next fiscal year,” Byrd said. George said he thinks that, regard less of what the senate does aocut a $5,318,000,000 Mutual Security ad ministration authorization bill sched uled for senate action next week, ap propriations will be shaved at least a billion below that level. The house foreign affairs commit tee has voted for a $4,9 | 98,732,500 foreign aid authorization — a cut of' 476 million dollars from Eisenhow er’s requests.

He said his professional moving men could do the same job better, without boxes, for $100. Americas printers, represented by James R. Brackett, were un happy, too. Brackett said the Gov ernment Printing Office did $55,- 000,000 worth of publishing a year, while an assortment of printing libraries all books by “pro-Commu- nist” authors and “controversial" ( persons.

If we are not sure, there will be lingering doubts to plague the conscience after the event. “I have serious doubts whether this death sentence may be im posed for this offense except and unless a jury recommends it. The Rosenbergs should have an oppor tunity to litigate that issue.” Douglas’ action had the effect of sending the case back to the New York District Court for argu- mnets over whether the sentenc ing machinery used by the court was proper and consistent with the law.
