the legality OF an injunction granted by
Justice Marean restraining the Brooklyn

part IN the contest few weeks ago TO
force these shows to remain closed on

he supposed the injunction which he was
criticizing was a temporary one granted
several months ago and that the inter-
view was not taken verbatim.

must not make such a criticism, and de-
