large as it was in 1945, “nor as large
as we probably need now.”
The logical solution, he said, is a
well-trained Naval Reserve,
Studying war, Admiral Colclough
said, is a requisite in solving the
problem of preventing wars.
Explains Studying of War.
"To say therefore that we should
be studying war,” he went on,” is
not an admission direct or implied
that one is giving credit to gossip
about the imminent possibility of
another war.”
Such an admission, he said, would
concede the failure of the mighty
effort of the United Nations. At
the same time he emphasized the
close inter - dependence between
statesmanship and armed strength”
in these days of world unrest and
tension.”
Also scheduled to speak at the
traditional pre-Congress mass meet
ing were Dan L. O’Keefe, editor of
"Junior Achievement”; Brig. Gen.
John M. Devine, commanding gen
eral of the universal military train
ing experimental unit at Fort Knox,
Ky., and R. H. Markham, staff
writer of The Christian Science
Monitor.
The 4.500 delegates to the con
gress will start taking up resolutions
covering national defense and other
national issues at tomorrow morn
ing's session.
The congress will be called to
order tonight by the DAR president
general, Mrs. Julius Y. Talmadge, in
an atmosphere of customary pag
eantry.
Procession to Open Congress.
A procession of state regents and
national officers with white-gowned
DAR pages carrying State flags will
signal the formal opening of the
congress tonight.
Keynote speaker will be Gen.
Eisenhower, Army Chief of Staff.
Mrs. Talmadge will deliver her final
message as president general in a
talk entitled “The Eagle’s Wings”
and Cedric Foster, radio commenta
tor, will also address the opening
session.
Mrs. Talmadge also delivered the
principal address yesterday at Val
ley Forge, Pa., scene of a pre-con
gress pilgrimage by more than 1,000
delegates.
Bell Tower Dedicated.
The occasion was the dedication
of the Memorial Bell Tower, one of
the principle peace-time projects of
the DAR. The tower of masonry
is to be built close to the Washing
ton Memorial Chapel and will house
the National Carillon.
Declaring that faith alone enabled
the followers of George Washington
to survive the winter at Valley
Forge, Mrs. Talmadge said America
needs that type of faithfulness to
day, that type of patriotism.
“Yes, what we need today is cour
age, common sense and loyalty to
the Ideals of government, under
which we have grown great and
have prospered beyond any other
people in history,” Mrs. Talmadge
told the delegates. "We must face
the wilderness of confusion and
propaganda now being forced upon

duty as God gives us to see the
light.”
Rector Accepts Gift.
The DAR leader declared that the j
country npeds men who ‘‘look at the
American problems from the Ameri
can point of view—men who are not
afraid to face the facts and speak
the truth, let the truth hit who it
may.”
In accepting the DAR gift, the j
Rev. John Robbins Hart, rector of ,
Washington Memorial Chapel and
president of Valley Forge Historical
Society, expressed his gratitude to
members of the DAR and expressed
his hope that “your liberality, patri
otism and faith in God will be the
answer to every force of evil that ]
we have to face.” ,
Mrs. Frank Edgar Lee, historian ,
general of the DAR and chairman ,
of the building committee, presided ,
at the Valley Forge ceremony.
Lynch Trial
(Continued From First Page.) 1
These were Earle Martin, member of •
a prominent South Carolina family, ’
Vardry McBee Norris, a taxi driver, <
and Ernest Stokes, another driver
Other defendants claim Stokes had ’
extracted a confession from Earle,
who was slain in reprisal for the
fatal stabbing of T. W. Brown, 54, a
taxi driver. 1
Calls Evidence Insufficient.
Judge Martin said evidence was
insufficient to convict them on any
count.
Additionally, the court directed
acquittal of seven men on charges
of murder and of being accessories
after the fact, but left standing the
accusations of being accessories be
fore the fact and of conspiracy to

nake statements to police; Willie

3rowning to grant Pvt. Mayes a new
rial. The only reason for so doing
vas because the publishers did not
igree with Judge Browning’s deci
lion or conduct of the case.’’
Trial Accounts True.
The newspapermen said news ac
:ounts of the trial were essentially
rue. The editorial criticized Texas
•ass "which vest vast judiciary
luthority in a county judge, but
vhich do not require the occupant
>f the office to be an attorney."
Justice Douglas in effect said the
lews accounts were accurate.
He declared the only substantial
juestion raised in the case per
.ained to the editorial. He cited
rarious language in the editorial and
:ommented that:
“This was strong language, intem
perate language, and we assume, an
mfair criticism. But a judge may
pot hold in contempt one who ven
,ures to publish anything that
ends to make him unpopular or to
pelittle him. . ..
“The vehemence of the language
ised is not alone the measure of
;he power to punish for contempt,
rhe fire which it kindles must con
likely threat, to the administration
>f justice. The danger must not be
remote or even probable, it must
Immediately imperil.”
Justice Douglas said that ‘‘giving
the editorial all of the vehemence
which the court below found in it,
we fail to see how it could in any
realistic sense create an imminent
md serious threat to the ability of
the court to give fair consideration
to the motidn for a rehearing.”
