SCOTSBORO CASE
HOW HEADED FOR
SUPREME COURT


DECATUR, Ala.-(ANP) Judge
w. w. Callahan of the Morgan
County Circuit court denied mo-
ton on the part of the defense at
torneys for Haywood Patterson
and Clarence Norris for a rehear-
ing on the motion for new trial
here Friday
Judge Callahan, who won the So
briquet Speed" because of the
manner in which he rushed the
trials through, was piqued by char
ges made by the international La
Dor Defense to the effect that he
had "tricked" them in request to
technicalities surrounding the or
iginal new trial motion.
1.-THE motion is entirely without
merit" said Judge Callahan Friday
when the defense attorneys ap-
peared for a rehearing. Then, re-
ferring to charges made against
him, he added: Even if I had been
so despicable as to try to trick the
defense by deceiving them, still
cannot change the law"
He charged that the defense was
seeking to spread propaganda that
the court was dealing unfairly with
the defendants.
Attorney General Thomas Knight
Jr. represented the state. The de-
Tense motion was made by Alex
Racolin of Little Rock, Ark, and
Elias Echwarzbard of New York.
The next step for the defense is
to go to the State Supreme Court.

Windiammers

SOME WE'LL educated people
who are called on to make a two
minute speech will talk for a half
hour. In most things these same
individuals exhibit excellent taste,
but when called on to talk they
lose all sense of values.
They know that there dozen or
more others who are expected to
speak on the program but when
they get the floor they just can
not stop talking. Aside from be-
ing poor taste it is an imposition
on those who are in the audience.
Those who are guilty Of this prac-
tice might think they are making
a hit" but If they could hear
what is being said by the audience
they would speak for their allotted
time and sit down.
AND THIS SAME thing goes
for a master Of ceremonies or pre-
siding officer. He is not supposed
to make a dozen speeches. His JOB
is simply to present the respective
speakers and artists.
It is sickening and disgusting to
attend meetings expecting to leave
at a certain time and find it inn
possible to do so because those who
have charge of the program and
the speakers fail to value the time
Of other people.
