JURY TRIAL RULING
 ISSUED BY COURT
Decision Believed Not Broad
 Enough to Have Effect

Washington, Nov. "A LP-The su- premc court today refused 10 pass upon the constitutional right of pct ty offenders to q trial by jury question much discussed in conncc- ton with prohibition enforcement legislation,
 The court sustained q ruling Of the District of Columbia court of appeals that William H. Co.'s, was illegally deprived of jury trial n the imposition of a $100 fine or 30 day jail sentence for reckless driv- ing.
 The high tribunals decision was interpreted as too narrow to cover tn much discussed question whether minor liquor offenses could be tried without jury a course suggested by the Wickersham law enforcemen commission as a means of eXpcdlt- ing action and alleviating court congestion.
 The case attracted nationwide ;G- 1 tention because of the controversy in connection with the dry laws and | the possibility of the courts handing down decision which would de- termine the course of congress on the commissions proposal.
