This was a clear reference to Boves term in office, which is to expire next January. The Smith case was noted in the defandants motion to dismiss the writ of prohibition. Bove and Dick claimed it to be an illustration of an adequate remedy in the Emer son-Bove dispute. Keyser said it would be no true test because Chancellor Hughes also acted in that case and Dick is attorney for Smith.

Keysets brief also argued the point of whether the removal of Bove is, in the public as alleged by Emerson. He said that because of the importance of the liquor business in Vermont, and because a public officer is charged with misconduct in office, it is necessary in the public interest to have the removal proceeding heard and the truth of the charges determined. The brief said: If the governor was to follow the usual court procedure in chancery court as urged by the defend ants, Bove would continue in office for months, even though the charges against him might be well founded." Keyser said the 13 days notice given Bove prior to the scheduled dismissal hearing was sufficient, and cited court cases where 10 days have been held to be sufficient notification. Keyser said the defendant has introduced no evidence to show that Emerson is biased and prejudiced. Hesaid explicitly that the complainant (Emerson) denies the allegations and will grant Bove a fair and impartial trial in the proceedings.

Even if bias and prejudice could be shown, Keyser argued, it would confer no- jurisdiction upon a court of equity to enjoin the removal proceeding for that reason.

A US Army court martial today accepted as evidence a signed statement by Pvt. John F. Vigneault that he shot two German men to death at the inistence of a buddy With whom he had gone AWOL The slight, 19-year-old Vigneault, from Goffs Falls, N.

H-, is on trial for murder. His partner. Pvt. Richard A. Ha-gelberger, 19, of Chula Vista, Calif, and a third soldier accused of having stolen the murder gun.

Pvt. Robert T. Mierzwik, 20, of Belton, Tex, are up for separate trials next week. Young Vigneault looked stonily at the floor today as the court heard the confession claiming Hagelherger urged him to shoot the two Germans, who had given them a lift on the night of April 18. A crowd of about 150 hostile Germans, including many friends and relatives of the two dead men, were in the audience.

Vigneault pleaded innocent ''at the opening of the trial. He has not yet testified orally. The 10-officer court is expected to give its verdict tomorrow. If convicted, the youth could be sentenced to be hanged for the double killing, which has aroused more German ire than any other crime during the American occupation. As detailed in the statement: Vigneault and Hagelherger went AWOL from the Grafenwoehr training area April 17.

Mierzwik was to have gone with them and stole an Army carbine to take along, but he backed out at the last minute. The two teen-age soldiers took the carbine with them to scare people into giving us their money or car. The youths met Lothar Schlos-ser, who exhibited films for the US High Commissions program for improving German-American relations, and Paul Eckert in the Bavarian village of Dieback After drinking beers together, the Germans offered the soldiers a ride in return for $1.10 in Army scrip and two German marks all the money they had. Eckert drove with Schlosser beside him and the two soldiers sat in the back seat Hagelherger suggested Lets roll the driver and steal the car. Vigneault hesitated, but when Hagel-berger gave the signal, he put the carbine behind Schlossers ear and fired three times.

The shots spread the -mans brains all over the car. When Eckert stopped and got out Vigneault pumped bullets into him until the gun jammed. The two soldiers drove on until they crashed into a German truck a few miles away. They were caught a few hours later by military police in a nearby woods. The defense, headed by Capt Florindo de Rosa of New York city, objected to admission of the statement on the grounds the prosecution had failed to prove it was made voluntarily.

But the court accepted the statement after Army agents testified Vigneault was advised of all his rights and signed willingly. Although Mierzwik was not pres ent at the shooting, he is charged with being an accomplice to the murder. John A. Calhoun, Middlebury, Accused of Striking Capitol Cop With His Auto. WASHINGTON, May 15.

VP)- John A. Calhoun of Middlebury, Vt, secretary to Senator Flanders has been charged with striking and injuring a Capitol policeman with his car, last April 3. WASHINGTON, May 15 VP). President Truman today signed legislation increasing railroad unemployment insurance benefits. It would set up a new scale of payments running from $3 a day to $7.50 for unemployed railroad workers.

The present scale starts at $1.75 and goes to 55. Sponsors of the measure said a boost was needed to meet increases in the cost of living. They also contended it would not require any increase in contributions from the railroads, at least for several years. The' railroads unemployment insurance fund is supported solely from the carriers. At present, their payments are one-half of one per cent of their payrolls.

The fund had 765 million dollars on June 30 last1 year. 90 Merchants Row Upstairs We Grew Watch Us Grow Again Grow With Us All names must be in ThursdayMay 22nd.

Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin said tonight that the struggle against communism will not end when the Korean conflict is over. Speaking at the Holy Cross College Institute of Industrial Relations, Tobin said: The Communist struggle is a world struggle. It began long before the Korean conflict and it will not end when the Ko- rean conllict is over. Our defense program has been designed for this kind of a conflict, a conflict that is large in both time and space.

He said: Our defense production is still making gains month by month and will continue to rise at a steady pace under any foreseeable contingency including a Korean truce. This is a basic and dominating factor. "Not only will we have a substantial portion of our income going towards defense needs this year, he added, but we will be confronted with defense needs for a number of years to come."

There Are Big Days Ahead! AND WOLKS IS READY FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. BOSTON, May 15 VP). The regional Office of Price Stabilization today held a conference of New England enforcement directors and US special attorneys to make plans to intensify a drive against what the office called potato black marketeers. 4 Regional director Joseph M. McDonough, who called the conference, his office has received numerous complaints of both overcharges on potatoes in retail stores in Greater Boston and tie-in sales, in which customers were told that in order to get potatoes they would have to buy other produce.

This is a violation pf OPS regulations, McDonough said, and should be reported to district offices immediately. He said extensive evidence already has been gathered and cases are being prepared for the courts. McDonough said New England potatoes will not be moving into the market until early fall and supplies from other parts of the country will be watched for illegal sales and other unlawful practices. He urged consumers and mer- chants to report all illegal or ir- regular sales of potatoes such as 1 short weights, overceiling prices, tie-in sales, improper sizes and potatoes unfit for table use. charged the Allies used captives for experiments with poison gas, germ weapons and atomic bombs.

In reply, Joy asked Nam II to oin in rescreening Communist captives who say they would rather die than jgo back to Red rule. He declared the world dismissed the Red charges as obviously springing from fear of what this screening would show. Nam II styled bi-partisan screening of Red prisoners a "trap laid by your side so as to legalize your criminal acts. The two sides are locked over the prisoner exchange issue, the sole barrier but a formidable one to an armistice.
