INJUNCTION
PLANNED

Although helpless to intervene
against the Cleveland jurist who
sentenced two newspaper editors to
Jail for contempt Of court, congres-
sionai leaders today were planning
early action to further curb the
contempt powers Of the Federal

The Cleveland incident, In which
Common Pleas Judge Frederick p.

to two newspapermen who pub
lished an editorial criticizing him,
served merely to center congress
sional attention on the need for
judicial reforms In the field Of con.
tempt cases.

drew censure from some Of the
Senate's best know constitutional
lawyers. Senator William e. Borah

noted legal authority, united In con-
