Show 'MARRYING' ENGEL MAY BE FREED . . . N. Y. Reds Didn't Register as Man and W: ... BY SUPREME COURT 5-4 DECISIC 1 1 Rv H. I. PHILLIPS " J The Garble Sisters "What a lot of exciting news there's been lately! Alger Engel marrying all those women! Judy Palmer being found guilty of lying about that typewriter! And the attorney general suing the Yanks to make them break up DiMaggio!" "Yeah. And ain't that Engel a honey? What'll they do with him?" "The government may have to put back controls to stop operations like that. He has a good chance of getting free on one of them supreme court five to four elections. Look what the court did in that lonely lone-ly hearts case . . . they threw the case out because there was no quorum present." "I wish the high courts would agree on what is the law like the low courts do. When a girl meets a Russian agent In New York and. she is carrying a bag loaded with secret papers from government files why should it make any difference dif-ference whether she worked for the Carnegie library and took a rug from some auto dealer?" "It's like that trial of the eleven Communists in New York. They all deny they registered in Baltimore as man and wife and say that when they were arrested on that bus they were just getting material for a novel." "I can't see why President Truman Tru-man named Perle Mesta to that supreme court vacancy anyhow when Wagner stepped out with Justices Palmer, Murphy, Musial and Waitkus dissenting." "It was all on account of the Taft-Hartkins law." "Where does that stand now?" "The part requiring anybody to answer yes or no has been cut out but everything else is left in, including the agenda which lets both sides bring their own referee and puts the coal miners on a three day week." Ima Dodo says he read the verdict ver-dict in the case but couldn't find out whether Judy Coplon retained the custody of the microphone. The writer of this column does not claim to be the seventh sev-enth son of a seventh son, but the following chapter from a book by him, "Private Purk-ey's Purk-ey's Private Peace" (the original orig-inal and much more apt title was "Peace, Wearing Purple Tights"), published a few weeks after World War II ended, revealed distinct powers pow-ers of prophecy. In the story, Private Purkey and several companions crashed a peace conference in Paris, a feat duplicated In a way by Garry Davis a few weeks ago. And in a chapter headed "Discord in the Dovecotes" ye ed pictured the collapse of peace hopes, the friction between the great powers, etc. thusly: Months have now ,ia the peace.
