WAR SCARES RISE
IN SCANDINAVIA
Naval and Aerial Maneuvers
Hint Countries May Be
in Danger.
By th» Associated Press.
OSLO April 19.—Reports of "phan
tom flyers” In the far north of Nor
way, Sweden and Finland and secret
maneuvers off their strategic coasts
brought a wave of “war scare” ru
mors to Scandinavia today.
The stories oi mysterious airplanes
flying over little inhabited regions of
the North and of giant foreign war
ships offshore pointed the opinion of
military experts that the area was
In direct danger of becoming a the
ater of war in the event of a con
flict between Russia and Germany.
Military authorities of Bergen, Nor
way, announced yesterday their in
vestigations have established that a
fleet of four warships, one aircraft
carrier, one submarine and one air
plane of unidentified nationality ma
neuvered close to the Norwegian coast
April 5.
Charges Germany Sends Ships.
In Oslo, the newspaper Aftenpost
openly stated Germany had sent war
ships to look for possible bases for
air and naval operations in the Arctic
Ocean, while such a conservative jour
nal as the Stockholm Svenska Dag
bladat emphasized the possibility of
Sweden’s becoming a battleground in
advocating better defense measures.
The Swedish general staff declared
that in the last year it had establish
ed that 46 flights of unknown air
planes had been made over Northern
Scandinavia, presumably for military
•couting purposes.
Military experts consider the in
terests of Russia and Germany in the
Arctic fairly obvious. In the event of
war, these experts declare. Germany
would strike first to bottle up the
Russian feet in the Baltic by taking
control of the narrow waterways
around Denmark.
Arctic Bases Race.
At the same time the German sea
and air fleets would try’ to establish
Arctic bases to disrupt Russia's essen
tial Arctic communications.
Germany, it was pointed out, also
* has an important interest in protect
ing her yearly imports of high-grade
iron ore from Sweden, ore that ac
counts for half of the high-temper
Steel used in German armaments.
Russia, in turn, would be mainly
Interested in keeping her communica
tions open from Murmansk and
Alexandrovsk, almost within the Arctic
Circle, and in blocking the Swedish
mines from Germany.
, To do this Russia would have to rely
mostly on airplanes operating in the
Far North. Unable to count on the
Baltic or Black Sea. Russia would be
forced to make a determined effort to
hold open her Arctic outlets as her
only European contact with the rest
of the world.

Her roommate. Dorothy Hunkins. said
the woman received the call at 10
a.m. It was at the same hour, Paul
Klein, elevator operator in the re

HERALD IS LEASED
TO MRS. PATTERSON
Editor and Publisher of Newspa
per Announces New Arrange
ment With Hearst.
Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, editor and
publisher of the Washington Herald,
announced today that William Ran
dolph Hearst had leased the paper to
her for “a number of years.”
In a formal announcement Mrs.
Patterson said that about 10 years
ago she asked Hearst to sell or lease
the paper to her, but "at that time
Mr. Hearst would not consent to
either.”
"In August, 1930, he appointed me
as editor in chief,” the statement con
tinued, "and later as publisher of his
Washington morning newspaper."
Mrs. Patterson cited the rise in circu
lation of the paper since August of
1930 and stated:
“Possibly for these reasons Mr.
Hearst is justified in having more con
fidence in my stewardship now than in
the past.”

ernment, you ought to get out of this
country."
When defense counsel objected that
Thomas and Miss Adams were charged
with violating a police regulation and
not with being Communists, Judge
Mattingly’s answer was, "They're
Communists. They are trying to
overthrow the Government."
The judge then asked the defense
attorney, "Do you agree with them
that they have a right to pass out
these leaflets?"
The counsel replied: "Yes, they have
the right to pass out these leaflets so
long as they do not violate any law in
doing so. There is no law in the Dis
trict of Columbia prohibiting distribu
tion of leaflets that voice pro-Oommu
nist or other sentiments.”
Lawyer Invited To Plead.
“In that case, if you're one of them,
then you should take the witness stand
and plead guilty yourself," Judge Mat
tingly retorted.
Although Miss Adams was on the
witness stand. Judge Mattingly an
nounced he found both defendants
guilty, and turning to their attorneys,
said: "And if you don't like my verdict,
you can take an exception." The at
torney thereupon took an exception
and said he wanted to put other wit
nesses on the stand, but this permis
sion was refused by the Judge, who
said the case was closed.
Regarding Judge Mattingly's ac
tions, Justice Harold M. Stephens,
speaking for the Court of Appeals,
said: "The fifth amendment of the
Constitution of the United States, pro
hibiting deprivation of liberty without 1
due process of law, means, in its appli- ;
cation to judicial hearings, m the often :

hears before It condemns.’ And the
sixth amendment guaranteeing the
accused in a criminal prosecution the
assistance of counsel for his defense,
means effective assistance. The politi
cal beliefs that the plaintiffs held
(Thomas and Miss Adams) were im
material to the issues in this case.
Hearing Held Unfair.
“Whatever their political views Were,
the plaintiffs in error were entitled
under the guarantees of the Constitu
tion to a fair and impartial hearing;
and it is obvious from the bill of ex
ceptions • • * that the hearing ac
corded them was not a fair and im
partial hearing in the constitutional
sense. They were In effect forbidden
witnesses, and, in the denial of the
right to argue the case, there being no
written briefs below, were forbidden
the effective assistance of counsel."
It was later in this case, while de
nying a motion for a new trial, that
Judge Mattingly publicly denounced
an Evening Star editorial which de
scribed his actions as a service to the
Communist party.
Tint Court of Appeals ordered the
case returned to the Police Court for
another hearing. Thomas and Miss
Adams were represented before the
appellate court by Attorneys Frederick
A. Ballard and Samuel Levine.
