REPORTERS STARTS
Newspaper Company Pays
Herald Fine of $1,000
in Contempt Case.
sy a sta, correspondent of The Star.

By sta1 Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, July "A legal
fight to escape the 90-day Jail SEN
tences handed down upon their con-
viction for contempt of court was
begun by two Washington Herald re-
porters late yesterday as the Ameri-
can Newspapers, Inc, paid a $4,000
fine imposed in the same case.
Motions for dismissal Of the cases
against the reporters, Pat Frank and
David Lee, were filed in the Circuit
Court. while an appeal from the local
courts decision was filed at the same
time with the State Court of Appeals.
The contempt cases grew out of the
Herald's publication of the Circuit
Courts secret" deliberations in which
John M. Boland, Washington police
character, was convicted of conspiring
to murder Francis S. Lyddane, young
Rockville bookkeeper and the husband
Of Mrs. Anne Lyddane.
Lack of Evidence Claimed.
1t was set forth in the dismissal
motion that the judgment, the verdict
and sentence were not based on any
charges against the defendants and
that there was no evidence to sup
port them. They further pleaded
that the defendants were illegally
cited by the court and that judg-
ment was had without petitions, af-
fidavits or other papers accusing them
of the act.
The motions also held that the judg-
ment and sentence violated the con-
stitutional rights Of the reporters by
depriving them Of their liberty with
out due process Of law, that they were
deprived of their right to trial by jury
without their consent and, in conclu-
sion, that the evidence in the case did
not prove them guilty beyond a rea-
sonable doubt.
Lawyer Pays Fine.
Shortly after the dismissal motions
and appeals were filed on behalf of
the reporters, Elisha Hanson, counsel
for American Newspapers, Inc, pub
fishers of the Herald, appeared at the
Office of Sheriff G. Ellington Bell and
paid the $4,000 fine imposed by the
court against that concern.
Former Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and
his law partner, Stewart S. Janney.
have joined with the local law firm of
Peter & Simpson in the legal battle to
have the decisions against the two
men set aside.

COMMITTEE 0. KS
BILL FOR CLOSING
Of MILITARY ROAD.
McSWain Measure Changed
to Shut Off Portion of
1t Immediately.
AMENDMENT OFFERED
BY SMITH REJECTED
Plea of Arlington County for
Delay Pending Substitute
Construction Beaten.

The McSwain bill, providing for
closing of Military road across Wash
ington Airport, with an amendment
to close Immediately that portion of
the road between the airport traffic
lights, was favorably reported to the
House today by the Military Affairs
Committee.
Action on the measure followed a
hearing last week at which witnesses
described the closing of the road as
an emergency measure necessary for
the protection of life and properly.
The committee rejected an amend
ment sponsored by Representative
Howard w. Smith of Virginia, County
Manager Roy S. Braden of Arlington
County and members of the county
board, which would have prevented
closing of Military road until sub
stitute road is constructed to carry
Military road traffic around the air
port
Calls for Immediate Closing.
The War Department amendment,
adopted by the committee, calls for
immediate closing of the portion OF
the road across the main runway OF
the airport The point where the road
and runway cross, which would thus
be eliminated at once, has been char
acterized by famous pilots and air
transport officials as the most dan
gerous air transport situation in the
United States.
The effect of the War Department
amendment. it was admitted, would be
to close Military road Immediately to
through traffic, and thus defeat the
plea of Arlington County for substi-
tute road prior to the closing OF the
present highway.
The War Department amendment
would permit the remaining portion
of Military road to remain open and
in operation not later than October
! to give access to several concession
stands, a gasoline station and other
small places of business along the
road, chiefly at the airport end.
Has No Military Value.
It also is provided in the War De-
partment amendment that the right
of way of Military road may be sold
by the War Department to the State
of Virginia or to any subdivision of
the State for ST. or that it may be
transferred to any department or bu
reau of the Federal Government with
out cost. The War Department in
formed the House group that the road
no longer is of any value for military
purposes.
Should the bill be passed as it now
stands on the House calendar, officials
Of Washington Airport are expected
at once to begin the expenditure of
$4,000 for grading, preparation of
new runways and moving of conces-
sion stands, hangers and other build
lngs in the vicinity of Military road
to enlarge the usable area of the
landing field.

D. c. PAROLE LAW
CHANGE OFFERED
Prettyman Sends Reed Plan
to End Indeterminate
Sentence.

Corporation Counsel Prettyman to-
day placed in the hands Of Repre-
sentative Reed of Illinois a proposed
revision of the District parole law
which would do away with its inde-
terminate sentence and bring the law
into line with the Federal parole
system.
The development was q result OF
studies by the House Crime Commit
tee Of the present parole system. in
which numerous officials objected to
the indeterminate sentence.
Now Assess Two Penalties.
Under the proposed revision a pris-
oner would have to serve one-third
instead Of one-fifth of his sentence
before becoming eligible for parole.
Under the indeterminate sentence
law judges now assess two penalties,
one minimum which cannot be more
than one-f1fth of the statutory maxi
mum, and the other a maximum SEN
tence. Under the proposed revision q
judge would give but one sentence
and the prisoner would have to serve
one-third Of this before he was eligi-
bic for parole consideration.
Prettyman also forwarded a personal
suggestion that the chairman of the
District Parole Board be made a
salaried official and that the other
two members be given a per diem
payment Of SIS for each day spent in
parole work. He left it to Reed to
decide whether to write this into the
bill.
Bribery Law Proposed.
The corporation counsel also for
warded to Reed a proposed bribery
law which would make the acceptance
of q bribe by any officer of the Gov
ernment a felony and providing for
sentences of from six months to five
years.
Prettyman also is drafting a third
amendment of the criminal code which
would be an "habitual criminal" law
to provide for a heavy step-up in
penalties for person convicted q
second time Of a major offense, such
as robbery, HOUSEKEEPING, forgery or
arson. The second time a person was
charged with such an offense he would
be faced with a double charge, one,
for instance, of robbery, and the other
of second robbery" under which the
maximum penalty would be, say, 20
years.
