Government argues Rosenbergs should have faced Atomic Energy Act
In a special Supreme Court session the government contends the Rosenbergs would have been quickly thrown out of court under the Atomic Energy Act, arguing the 1917 Espionage Act may have made their death sentence unlawful. The court reconvened to hear the stay appeal after Justice Douglas delayed the execution.

Douglas Says His Action Was Routine
Supreme Court Justice Douglas defended his stay of execution for Julius and Ethel Rosenberg as routine and legally normal. He noted it is common for a lone justice to halt an execution for substantial new questions, said he would join today’s full court session, and indicated no reason to disqualify himself.

Controversial Foreign Aid Bill Sees Deep Cuts Proposed
In Washington the House reviews a 4.998 billion dollar foreign aid bill for next year with Rep. Lawrence H. Smith proposing additional one billion cuts. The plan seeks to trim military aid to Europe and Japan, reduce global Point Four programs, and delay full appropriations until the next year amid unsettled world conditions. Rep. Richards foresees bipartisan support for directing half of European military aid to the European Defense Community. The bill also advances plans to rearm Japan under a bilateral treaty with Tokyo and shift focus toward the Far East.
