THOMPSON and
HART ARRAICNED
In COURT TODAY
CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT IN
CONNECTION WITH SPRAY.
ING OF TREES; EACH FINED
$50 OR Is DAYS IN JAIL

Sam Thompson and Sam Hart,
citizens of Key West, were this
morning in circuit court held in
contempt of court by disobeying
a court order, and fined $50 each
with an alternate punishment Of
Is days in Jail. Judge Jefferson
B. Browne presided.
When the case of Mr.. Thomp-
son was called C. Z. Sheppard of
the plant board stated that Mr..
Thompson had refused to allow
him to spray his trees on his prop
erty in Love Lane. This state
ment was corroborated by Deputy
Sheriff Everett Rivas.
Called to the stand Mr.. Thomp-
son stated that he had refused to
allow the plant board to spray his
trees, but that he did not under
stand the extent or scope of the
injunction and believed that it
only meant citrus trees.
1t was brought out on the
stand that Mr.. Thompson had
been furnished with a copy of the
injunction and therefore should
be fully acquainted with the
meaning and intent Of the court
order.
Judge Browne said that when
other cases had been tried he had
been exceptionally lenient and
imposed small fines in the belief
that the people of Key West
would learn that the law was
made to be enforced. That the
injunction had been issued out of
circuit court and had been upheld
by the supreme court.
The judge said he did not like
to do certain things ordained by
law. Did not take any pleasure
in passing sentence on people he
had known for years, but the law
must be enforced, it was his duty
to see. that the law was enforced
and he had nothing left to do but
pass sentence.

An interested wriGe~ wants to
know why we have not discussed
the far-reachine tax bill more
fully in these columns. Well, the
answer is that so long as House
and Senate versions were widely
divergent and there was no
meeting of the minds" it would
be almost useless to attempt to
keep up with the shifting posi-
tions from week to week. Months
ago we gave a rough outline of
the situation. There is no way
to tell what such a bill will be
when completed until the legisla-
tors get together in their final
conference agreement.

Naturally the eyes of those in

turned this week to Cleveland,
where Republican delegates start
the init al advance of the presi-

The fact that the United States
Supreme Court is q 5attleg ,ound
of conflicting social and economic
views, and that the decisions are
based mere UPON pc-sOrai philOso-
plies than upon legal certainties
is more and more apparent. As
one reads the conflicting opinions
OF the jur:sts in enc case after
Gr2.her. it is plain to a layman
that there is ground for legal de-
cisions either way and the con-
clusions of the court appears to
rest upon the personal makeup
of the justices themselves. As we
have pointed ct before, this is
not criticism of the Court, which
is now funct:oring as it was in
tended to function, by slowing
down the process of chance in
fundamental legal areas. In time,

The Republican platform will
be studied throughout the nation
in order to ascertain just exactly
what the party intends to do, if it
wins the election. The voters will
look for positive statements to in
dictate where the New Deal is con-
demned and what legislation the
Republicans will sponsor if they
take control OF the nation next
January. Of course. the Demo-

Many weeks ago in these col

States rights and setting aside
State legislation because it con-
flicts with the due process clause
or interstate commerce the Su-
preme Court moves to set up a
zone in which no governmental
authority is able to regulate any

For the benefit of those read
ers who ard interested we call at
tention to one of the clearest pre-
election analysis that we have
come across, taken from The New
York Times. According to this
survey, based on polls. party dis
sension and various factors, the
writer observes that party leaders
generally agree that 81 States,
with 232 electoral votes. are safe
ly Democratic and that IL States,
with 128 votes, are reasonably
classed as Republican. Nine
States, with III votes, are put in
the doubtful column, including
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio, Iowa,
New York and West Virginia. The
commemorative given to the G..

1t is not the business of the
writer, in this column. to make
euesses as to the outcome OF the
election, but it will be good
thing for the country if the Re-
publican party makes itself a real
party of opposition, thus giving
the people a direct opportunity to
select its course. Naturally, be-
cause of many Republican votes
cast in support of some of the
New Deals measures a severe cas-
tigation of everything is not to be
expected, although such a devel-
opment is not an impossibility.

AIRPLANES ORDERED
TO AVOID CONCERTS
Eastern Air Lines Official Calls on
Pilots Not to Disturb
Summer Series.

Deploring interference by airplanes
with symphony concerts at the Water
Gate. Elmer Cross, field manager for
Eastern Air Lines at Washington
Airport, has issued special written in
structions to all pilots Of the line to
exercise every possible precaution to
avoid disturbing audiences and musi-
clans during the Summer series. .
while we have checked the records
at the time Of reported disturbances
at previous concerts and do not believe
our airplanes and pilots have been at
fault, we are making this request so
that we, will be certain every pilot has
information concerning the concerts
and to avoid any possibility OF con-
fict," officials of the line explained.
The Bureau of Air Commerce pre-
yiously had requested all pilots to
avoid the Water Gate area during the
time of the evening concerts. Despite
this request, which was repeated by
Samuel ]. Solomon, manager of the
airport, there have been reports sub
sequently Of airplanes flying over the
concert platform during numbers.
The Bureau of Air Commerce is
checking these reports in an effort to
determine whether there has been any
violation of regulations prohibiting
flying over public assemblies.
