SENTENCES
DECLARED
OUTRAGE

Strong cenSure of the action
which resulted in the jailing of
three Washington Times report
ers on a contempt charge was
expressed today by John C. l..
Ritter, of the 1900 block G St.
S. E.
"H the Grand Jury wanted
liquor evidence they should have
called upon the police depart
ment," declared Ritter. They
have records enough to convict
anybody they want to convict"
Ritter last night introduced a
resolution, condemning the jail
ing of the reporters and calling
upon President Hoover to free
them, at meeting OF the
Southeast Washington Citizens
Association. The resolution was
defeated by parliamentary
ruling, causing a split in the
ranks of the association.
Ruled Out OF Order
s. A. G. Hermann, president OF
the association, ruled that the
resolution was out of order or
the grounds that it attacked a
court proceeding. Ritter eX
claimed, as the ruling was an
nounced:
IF this citizens association is
not a place where man can
discuss an outrage against his
neighbors in a votelesS commu-
nifty, I resign here and now"
The question was submitted TO
the association which, by a mar
row margin, voted not to ac]
upon it.
Reaffirms His Stand
Today Ritter reaffirmed his
stand, adding that in the District
of Columbia, where citizens are
not allowed the right of franchise
and have citizens associations
and like organizations as their
only means of expressing their
views, a full, frank discussion
should be allowed on all queS,
tions.
Il merely asked the association
to go on record as opposing the
action which Jailed the three re-
porters," declared Ritter. and
I think that such action by the
association would be eminently
proper"
