Opens Door To

cause they had been found guilty
by an international tribunal.
Douglas said he hasn’t changed
his mind about that, although it
troubles him because “it leaves no
room for judicial scrutiny of this
new type of military tribunal
which is evolving.”
Then he added what was vir
ually an invitation to American
held war crimes prisoners to try
for a new court test.
Despite the high court’s lack of
authority in cases tried by inter
national tribunals, Douglas said,
persons convicted by such tribun
als have a right to ask American
lower courts to decide whether
they are being legally held — if
their jailers are Americans.
“If an American general holds
a prisoner,” he declared, "our (le
gal) process can reach him where
ever he is. To that extent, at least,
the Constitution follows the flag.
“It is no defense for him to say
that he acts for the Allied power.
He is an American citizen who is
performing functions for our gov
1 ernment. It is our Constitution
I which he supports and defends.”
Douglas said a prisoner held un
der such circumstances need only
file an application for a writ of
habeas corpus in the U. S. District
court for the District of Columbia.
"It is the historic function of the
writ,” said Douglas, “to examine

Not Harmonious
W A S H I NGTON, (/P> — Vice
Chairman Thomas E. Coleman
quit the Republican strategy com
mittee yesterday with a blast at
GOP national chairman Hugh D.
Scott, Jr., for failure to keep the
group “moving along.”
Coleman, Wisconsin Republican
finance chairman, wrote Scott j
that he no longer can “spend the
time or take the responsibility for
I a committee that is not moving
| along.”
“The responsibility must be
j yours,” the vice chairman said.
Coleman’s step was a blow to
party “harmony” that Scott has
been publicly stressing since he
won a 50 to 50 vote of confidence
and kept his job at a January
meeting of the GOP national com- j
mittee in Omaha.
The 23-member strategy com-1
mittee, which Scott heads, was!
formed at Omaha. It grew out of
agreement that the party needed
new machinery to put over its
viewpoint.
Scott had called the group into
session here yesterday for the first
time since its organization April
24.
Coleman said in his letter to
Scott that he believes the strategy
group “has merit because it com
erty. We should not allow that in
quiry to be thwarted merely be
cause the jailer acts not only for
the United States, but for other
nations as well.”

“However,” he said, "your long
delay in appointing members of
the committee and the executive
committee has caused the loss of
several months of working time
during this session of Congress.
“The strategy committee was
created in Omaha in January.
Now, at the end of June, it has
had no opportunity to be of any
particular service to the party.”
On the other hand, Coleman
said, the Republican Senatorial
