Alger Hiss Barred
F rom Practicing
Law In New York
NEW YORK, (/P) — Alger Hiss,
former high state department of
I ficial convicted of perjury, was
disbarred yesterday from prattic
j ing law in New York State.
1 The appellate Division of the
Supreme Court formally struck
Hiss’ name from the role of attor
neys.
It ruled that his two-count per
jury conviction in federal court
here constituted commission of
j felonies and that Hiss therefore
I ceased to be a qualified attorney.
I Bradley Asks That
Draft Law Be
Kept Alive
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Gen.
Omar N. Bradley yesterday asked
Congress to keep the draft law
alive because, as far as he can see,
“there has been no letup in the
aggressive extension of commun
- ism toward its goal of world dom
ination.”
The chairman of the joint chiefs
of staff was the first witness as
the House armed services reopen
ed hearings on proposals to ex
tend teh draft. It i3 due to expire
June 24.
Speaking of recent events such
' as the Baltic plane incident, Brad
ley said the situation “frankly
j gives us little cause for comfort
and little excuse for delay.
“Certainly it does not support
discontinuing the selective service
act.”
At the outset, chairman Vinson
<D.-Ga.t recommended the com
mittee approve a two-year exten
sion of the draft but leave to Con
gress the power to say when any
body would be inducted or any
industry seized under the law.
At present, the defense depart
ment can call men up for service
at any time. However, there have
ben no draft inductions since Jan
uary, 1949.
Hiss was convicted by a federal
jury Jan. 21, 1950, and four days
later was sentenced to a term of
five years in prison. The case is
being appealed.
The former state department
official was found guilty of lying
under oath in denying that he
ever gave secret government pa
pers to Whittaker Chambers, self
styled courier for a pre-war Sov
iet spy ring.
