"a
Brothers-in-L.aw

The term abrother-in-law" is re-
stricted by many authorities to
mean the brother of ones husband
or wife, or the husband of ones
sister. Benjamin Hardin Helm, an
American general who married a
sister of Mary Todd, was not a
brother-in-law of Abraham Lincoln,
but he was Mrs. Lincoln's brother
inelaw. However, popular usage ig-
nores this restricted definition and
extends the term to include the hus-
band of ones wife or husbands sis.

PAPER To FIGHT
CONTEMPT CASE
Los Angeles Times Prepares
for Legal Battle Over
Conviction.
BY the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-The
Times-Mirror Co., publisher of the
Los Angeles Times, prepared for an
extended legal battle today over con-
vietion of the newspaper and two
executives of contempt of court for
publishing editorials commenting on
various court cases.
The Times was held in contempt
on five counts late yesterday by Su-
perior Judge Emmet Wilson. Imme-
diately, T. B. Cosgrove, counsel for
the Times, announced an appeal and
said the case would be carried to the
United States Supreme Court, if nee
essary, because of the principles of
freedom of speech and freedom of
the press involved
Judge Wilson's decision found the
corporation guilty on all five counts.
He fined it $500 on one count and S1OO
each on the other four.
In addition. President Harry Chand-
Ter was convicted on two counts and
fined 500 on each and Managing Edi-
tor L. D. Hotchkiss, also found guilty
on Two counts, was hned 500 on one
and $50 on the other.
Five editorials were involved in the
decision--one dealing with the Douglas
Aircraft factory's sit-down strike:
another with the case of Queen Helen"
Werner, former Los Angeles political
power, later convicted in a bribe
solicitation case; a third with a labor
dispute and a so-called Coon squad"
and the other two with the contempt
proceedings.
Mr.. Cosgrove asserted, in announc-
ing an appeal, that the courts de-
cision affects every publisher in the
United States" and if it is sustained
freedom of the press as it is known
and as it has been practiced by the
journals of the nation is gone forever"
Contempt was alleged by the Los
Angeles Bar Association Committee,
which asserted that editorial comment
on court case is not permissible
until an action is finally concluded.
