CONGRESS MAY
ASSURE PRESS
OmEEDOM
Senator Vandenberg Will
Move to Limit Power
of Courts.
BT NATHAN ROBERTSON
Vnlt*<l Pr** Staff Correspondfnt
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. A
movement is under way in congress
to safeguard the freedom of the
press by limiting the power of
judges to punish the press through
contempt of court procedure, the
United Press learned today.
The move is a direct outgrowth
of the contempt sentence recently
imposed upon editors of the Cleve
land Pre.<r. a Scripps-Howard news
paper. by Judee Frederick Walt'ner
of the court of common pleas of
Cuyahoga county. Ohio.
It is sponsored by Senator Arthur
H Vandenberg <Rep.. Mich.), a for
mer newspaper editor. Vandenberg
revealed today he is making a study
of the legal phases of the situation
with a view to introducing legisla
tion in the regular session of con
gress opening in December.
Not Yet Ready
Vanderberg explained he is at
tempting to work out the situation
not only for the protection of the
press, but also for the protection
of the nation's judicial system,
which he feels is endangered by
autocratic use of the co:.tempt pro
ceedings.
He is not yet ready, he said, to
introduce any legislation on the
subject, but is considering propos
ing a law which would require in
direct contempt cases to be tried
by other judges than those claim
ing the contempt.
"I ttiink the Ohio case in the
Ft ate courts has focused so much
outraged attention upon the pos
sibility of judicial tyranny that
congress is bound to be asked to
establish anew formula for punish
ment of federal contempts which
will act as something of a model
in turn for state courts,” Vanden
berg said.
“Affront to Justice”
"There is no question.” he con
tinued. “that direct contempts have
got to be at the summary disposal
of the sitting judge, but indirect
contempts are something else.
When a contempt is external and
when it involves the personal char
acter or conduct of the judge, as
was the situation in the Ohio case
it is an affront to elementary
sense of American justice that the
same judge should rule upon the al
leged contempts to which he is the
objector.
“The United States circuit courts
end even the United States supreme
court frequently have expressed the
opinion in various contempt cases
that it is a preferable practice under
such circumstances to call in an
other judge. This would seem to
be so obviously desirable that I can
see no reason up to date why such
procedure in such types of con
tempt should not be mandatory.”
WINE. BOTTLED IN
1870. GIFT TO POPE
Paris Priest Offers Present. Willed
When Italy Took Power.
Bn Vnited Prcsf
VATICAN CITY. Sept. s.—The
most curious gift offered to the pope
since re-establishment of the papal ;
state was made by the parish priest
of Masserano after an audience of
north Italian pilgrims, it was re
vealed here today.
More than 1.000 of the pilgrims
were received by the pope, during
which the parish priest offered the
pontiff two bottles of wine, which
were bottled in 1870. the year when
Italy took the temporal power away
from the Vatican, a power which
has not been restored until the re
cent signing of the treaty.
The priest explained that the,
parish priest of Messerano in 1870
left a will instructing that the two
bottles of wine be given to the pope |
w'V) effected a conciliation between !
the church and the state. The pope
thanked the priest for the gift.

MONEY WORRIES
CAUSE SUICIDE
Thomas (Mose) Whitlock
Takes Own Life.
Financial worries and failure to
effect a reconciliation with his wife
who divorced him two months ago,
today were blamed by relatives for
the suicide Wednesday of Thomas
'Mose) Whitlock, 58, professional
bondsman.
Whitlock shot himself through the
temple with a .38-caliber revolver in
the rear of a shoe shop operated by
William Peak, at 2661 Shelby street.
Friends say growing despondency
led to a suicide attempt two weeks j
ago when he tried to leap from the
second story of his bonding office, at j
324 East Pearl street.
After walking the streets all night j
he entered the shoe shop late in the '
afternoon, struck a counter edge j
with a hammer, laid it down and j
walked to the rear of the shop, from i
which the gun's report was heard a :
minute later.
He is survived by three brothers,
A. N. Whitlock. Lebanon, Ky.. and
Claude and Albert Whitlock, Jack
son. Mich. Funeral services w : ill be :
held Friday at his rooming house.

Senate Committee Will

Against Peace.
B’i t'nited Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—A sena
torial investigation to ascertain how
much shipbuilding money has been
used for propaganda w'ork against
the armament limitation programs
of President Coolidge and President
Hoover, is apparently aksured.
Chairman Hale of the senate na
val affairs committee announced to
day he would call his committee to
gether next week to determine a
method of procedure toward ascer
taining the facts in the suit filed
by William B. Shearer, naval ex
pert, against three American ship
building concerns for back pay.
Hale said he agreed with Senator

a fit subject for inquiry in view of
Shearer's activities in congressional
circles for many years.
"I feel sure the naval affairs com
mittee inquiry will be adequate,”
Borah said. Although Hale is a big
navy advocate, like Shearer, and
Borah favors a smaller navy, no dif
ference exists between them over
the advisability of inquiring into
Shearer's connections, Borah indi
cated.
Borah drew a resolution proposing
to direct the foreign relations com
mittee, of which he is chairman, to
make the investigation, but, in view
of Hale's promise, he will not press
the resolution at this time.
Shearer sued the Bethlehem Ship
building Corporation, the Newport
N¥tvs Shipbuildihg Corporation and
the American Brown Bovari Cor
poration for $250,000, which he al
leged was due him for activity
against disarmament at the Geneva
conference. He said he had been
paid $50,000 for the work.
Shearer probably will be called
before the committee to ascertain
if he received money from any other
sources. Borah and other senate,
lawyers do not "believe the investi
gation could be considered as preju
dicing the civil action, which Shearer
has started, and they do not be
