In New York
By JULIA BLANsHARD

Judge John M. Woolsey has hand | ed down the decision that the
 banned Ulysses" (by Jame. Joyce) is 8 true, sincere picture of real life" and not indecent pornographic matter" and it is tc l be printed here for the first time in January, much credit for this victory should go to Morris Ernst attorney.
 Ernst is Americas valiant cru sader against censorship of litera. ture as it has ben exercised by the Society for the Prevention o1 Vices Anthony Comstock and John S. Sumner before him. Ever | since the early 1920's, whenever the case of some good book that has been suppressed comes to trial it has been Morris Ernst's keer mind and learned tongue that have fought nobly against censor ship.
 His best-known victories have been won in the interest of the Mary Ware Dennet pamphlet '''The Sex Side of Life," Radcliffe Halls "The We'll of Loneliness : and Dr Marie Stopes' Married Love-" though he has at least a dozen fine victories to his credit His own book on censorship, 'To the Pure." did its bit, too.
 Morris Ernst doesn't look the least like the usual crusader. Ot medium height, wiry, black-haired he dresses in handsome custom. | made clothes, is tremendously in. terested in his home, children good food, outdoor sports, the theater, good books and good com pany.
 He is utterly sophisticated yet has the most charmingly simple. natural and direct
 manner, is one of the wittiest conversationalists in New York, and looks upon life through bone-rimmed spec- tacles with snapping eyes that always manage to see the humorous side of things. Pleading 8 case, he is quicker than a bullet out of gun. Rendezvous for Liberals
