, Slate Supreme Court
. Upholds Newspaper
Contempt Action
Los Angeles Times
To Carry on Appeal
For Editorial Freedom
ll the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.—A
contempt-of-court conviction of the
Los Angeles Times, centering around
the right of a newspaper to publish
editorials about court cases prior to
their final settlement, was af
firmed by the State Supreme Court
yesterday.
The court, however, split over
the issue, with two justices handing
down sharply dissenting opinions.
Fight to Continue.
> In Los Angeles the Times said
editorially it could not accept the
decision and would "defend to the
' last ditch’’ what it regarded as "the
American right of free speech and
free publication.”
"Not until and unless the Su
preme Court of the United States
holds that right not to include fair
comment upon public causes will it
recede from that stand.” the Times
said.
The contempt decision grew out
of the publication of editorials in
;»37 and 1938 dealing with two
labo! cases and the conviction of a
Los Angeles woman politician on
bribe solicitation charges. It reached
the California Supreme Court on
*n appeal by the Times following a
contempt conviction before Superior
Judge Emmet H. Wilson of Los
Angeles.
Unanimous Decision.
There was a unanimous decision,
however, reversing another con
tempt conviction 1* the Times re
sulting from editorials criticizing
the Los Angeles Bar Association for
bringing the contempt charges.
Justice Jesse W. Curtis, writing
the majority opinion, said the crux
of the contempt matter was
’ whether the Times’ editorials in the
labor and bribery cases had a "rea
sonable tendency to interfere with
the orderly administration of jus
tice.”
Irked Citizens Break Open
Garage for Snow Plows
| By the Associated Press.
LAKE CITY, Mich., Feb. 1.—Ap
proximately 200 farmers and other
residents of a snow-isolated section
of Missaukee County broke into a
State garage and entered a county
road commission building last
night to get snow plows with which
to clear 18 miles of highway.
The farmers complained the road
had not been cleared since the State
turned it back to the county for
maintenance. They asserted there
were several cases of illness among
families along the roadway and
cited one instance in which a child
was born with only the father In
attendance.
Sheriff Mearl Burkett said the
t group asked officials of the State
and county highway services to
open the road and on being refused
► took over three State and four
county plows and started work
themselves.
Later Sheriff Burkett persuaded
* the men to confer once more with
State and county officials and reg
ular drivers were sent out to clear
the highway.
Court Reserves Decision
In Cassini Divorce Case
Bj the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—Supreme
Court Justice Aaron J. Levy has re
served decision in the suit of Merry
Fahrney Cassini for a divorce from
Oleg Cassini, her fourth husband in
eight years.
Three fur-coated maids employed
by thei|>atent medicine heiress took
the stand yesterday to contradict
testimony of a discharged Filipino
cook that the wife of Cassini had
been guilty of improper conduct with
several men.
The maids pictured her as a model
woman who never so much as served
a cocktail in her apartment.
At this point, the justice observed.
"You don't know what you've
missed.”
