They were decided thus: 1. An injunction restraining l1 F. 1. hairdressers' and cosmetologists' union from picketing the Ross W. Swing beauty parlor was held an unconstitutional interference with freedom speech.

The proprietor of the parlor said the picketing started after his 16 women employes refused to join the union and he declined to compel them to do SO. "The interdependence of economic interest of all engaged in the same industry, has become it commonplace," said Frankfurter's opinion. "The right af free communication cannot therefore he mutilated by de. nying it to workers, in a dispute with all employer, even though they. are not in his employ." Chief Justce Hughes and Justice Roberta dissented.

Milk Drivers' Injunction Holds 2. An injunction restraining an independent milk wagon drivers union. from picketing stores selling products of Meadowmoor Dairies, described as a "cut-rate" company, was upheld as a constitutional exercise of state sovereignty to curb violence. Justice Back wrote a 11-pago, dissent, just twice as long as the majorlily opinion, in which he was joined by Justice Douglas, while Justice Reed wrote separate dissent. All three said that the injunction viospeech.

"Justice Frankfurter 'state said can the choose question "whether to authorize its enjoin acts of picketing. in themselves penceful. when they are enmeshed with contemporaneously violent conduct which is convodedly outlawed." "It must never he forgotten." he continued, "that the bill of rights was the child of the Enlightenment. Back or the guarantee of free speech lay faith in. the power.

"It wats in order to avert force and explosions due to restrictions, upon rational modes. of communication that the of free speech was given il negerOus scope. But utterance in a context of violence can lose its significance as an appeal 10 reason and become part of 211 instrument of force. Such utterance was not meant to be sheltered by the constitution." "Freedom of speech and freedom of the press cannot be too often invoked as basic to our scheme of society." Frankfurter continued.

these will not be advanced or even maintained by denying to the states with all their resources, including the instrumentality their courts, the power to. deal. with coercion due 10 extensive violence. ('ltes Instances of Violence The opinion referred to "more than 50 instances of window-smashing: explosive bombs caused substantial injury to the plants. and to five stores: stench bombs were dropped in five stores: three trucks of vendors were wrecked, seriously injuring one driver, and another was driven into a river: store was set on fire: two trucks of vendors were burned: A storekeeper and a truck driver were severely beaten: workers at -a dairy were held with guns severely beaten about the head while being told to 'join the union': Carloads of men followed vendors' trucks, threatened the drivers and.

Whether the fuehrer launches his great attack across the channel, or in the Balkans (or perhaps in both places simultaneously), it acems clear that Rumanian oil is to he a prime British target for counteroffensive operations. Air assaults which destroyed or greatly crippled the output of the 60-million-harrels-a-year field would be A. telling blow. Whether Germany could maintain her war machine without the flow of Rumanian oil.

is a doubt. It is not questionable, however, that such oil has been the key to "Nazi maneuvers in the east. from the outset of the struggle. The possibility that a two-front war might have exposed Rumanian oil to Russia air attack: prompted Berlin to make, its prewar deal with Moscow. Later.

it was primarily oil that caused the Nazis to send a massive "protective" army into Rumania. British Will Attack Wells Lack of adequate oil stocks probably is largely responsible for Italy's desperate plight, The shortage has hampered her sca and air fleets and almost certainly impelled her to attempt an invasion of Greece in search of a sea route to the Rumanian fields. Rumanian oil wells were largely British and French. owned. They were expropriated hy the present, Nazi-dominated Rumanian government.

Before that it, wag credibly reported that crew of American oil -well shooters was standing by ready to destroy the wells if they appeared likely to fall under. German control. Just why they were not wrecked has never been explained. Reluctance of the owners to give the word might have something to do with it. There can no longer be any question.

however. that is preparing smash them from the air as a measure of war necessity. Reports from Bulgaria that Russia will interfere if German troops SPRINGFIELD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1941 1 A Obituary MRS M. ROBERT BEGLEY, Mrs M. Robert of 19.

Sir Reginald Hoare. Britain's aged, invalid minister, went to the office of Premier Gen Ion Antonescu at noon. informed him that the parting of the ways had come, and prepared to sail from Constanta with his diplomalic mission for Istanbul.

S. Takes British Interests United States Minister Franklin Mott Gunther arranged to take over Britain's remaining interests in this country. Sir Reginald's meeting with Antonescu was described by intimates as "exceedingly painful." .1 walking stick in his hand and a flower in his buttonhole, the British minister stopped from his automobile in front of the premier's office. He had 10 walk around a long line of parked gray German military automobiles to reach the curb. Antonesou greeted Sir Reginald warmly.

Some sources London looked on the severed relations with Rumania as 1 warning Bulgaria that if she, too.

Churchill broadcast. Sir Reginald went from his confer ence with Antoncscu to give Gunther the list of British properties in Rumania now relatively few because most have been liquidated in the past few months. The United States minister and his staff immediately began taking over British documents in preparation for taking charge British interests. At the Blacks port Constanta.

meanwhile, special steamer waited to take Sir Reginald and his staff of almost 50 to Istanbul. Attaches and clerks had finished preparations to sail within a few hours. after relations were broken. Bucharest WAS blacked out last night and the blackout will be permanent hereafter, a decision taken, the newspaper Curentul said, because "there is danger of air attacks."

At one time, when Krivitsky Arst came to this country, he was living with then at a hide-a-way in upper New York 'state which was so carefully concealed that Matthews, although he once went there, was not permitted to learn the location of the place. On several occasions, Matthews re- lated, Krivitsky: had told hin that "the OG1'U is. going to 3 assassinate Trotsky. and As a result Matthews flew to MexIco City in November.

Thinks Russian Secret Police Involved in Case New York, Feb.

10-(AP)-Atty Louis Waldman said late today that he was informed that- Samuel Gins. berg. known as Gen Walter G. Krivitsky, former chief of the Russian sed. ret police.

was shot to death in the Bellevue hotel in Washington, D. this Waldman said he was informed by Washington detentives that Krivitsky had. shot. himself. He said he received word of Krivitsky's death from Bernard W.

Thompson, chief of detectives in Washington. Waldman did not agree with the officer's statement that Krivitsky had Himself. "There is no doubt in my mind that this is the work of the a OGPU (Russian secret police)," the attorney said. Cooperated with FBI Waldman said Krivitsky -after his break with OGPU -had been cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in antiespionage work and had gone to Washington late last week to "discuss provisions -for safety." Waldman did not elaborate 011 that. The lawyer said Krivitsky had spoken to him numerous times about threats purportedly made against his life by the Soviet police.

Mainly, they followed pubiications of El. series of articles written by Kriyitsky for a weekly magazine (Saturday Evening Post) which were critical of the Soviet organization. The general first came to this country several years ago on a. visitor's permit." When that expired, he went to England and returned here last October on a permanent basis, Waldman said. He said Krivitsky had registered at the hotel under the name of Walter Porof and that he (Waldman) was notified of the death when papers with his were found on the body.

"Only last that he week was in this aware office that he told me was being shadowed and that his life was in great danger." Waldman said. "Having already given important information to the federal authorities and being in possession of a great deal more, he asked me to take up with the FBI the question of his protection. "He had particular reason for his fears' because of the sudden appearance this city of one of the deadliest agents of the OGPU. I am leaving for Washington at once and will demand a thorough and searching investigation of the death of iny client." Before Dies Committee, During testimony before the Dies committee in October, 1939. Krivitsky testified he was born Samuel Ginsberg in the Russian Ukraine in 1899.

He said his "official, legal Soviet government name" had been Krivitsky since 1919. Krivitsky testified that he entered the military intelligence in 1920. and from 1921 to. 1923 worked in the third bureau of the red army general staff. He returned to general staff intelligence work in 1934 after holding several other positions.

and suld he was chief of Soviet military intelligence for western Europe in 1936-37. He said he broke with Stalin over the 1937 purge. During his testimony before the Dies committee. Krivitsky spoke at length of the OGPU. which he said was concerned with political offenses against the Soviet Union.

He said there was special foreign division of the OGPU with branches in every country in which Russia had interests. The secret police, he said. kept lists of foreigners who expressed their approval or dislike of the Stalin government ana spied on Russian officials "from the embassadors to the lowest official." He said the OGPU also had an "active whose purpose was to discredit those who opposed the Soviet and extended "to kidnaping and murder in some instances." Hoped More Democracy Asked to explain further his break with Stalin, Krivitsky said that the years preceding 1936 all of us hoped that the party in the country would enter a period of greater democracy."
