PRISONER IS NOT
ALWAYS ALLOWED
DEFENSE COUNSEL

Attorney General William C. Walsh
announced that the Supreme Court
has ruled that a defendant in a
criminal action does not always have
an absolute right to an attorney if
he cannot afford to employ one for
himself.
The case arose on an appeal from
Carroll County Court which found
the Appellant, Smith Belts, guilty of
robbery in 1889 and sentenced him
to eight years in the Penitentiary. At
the time of trial, Belts had requested
Judge Forsythe to appoint counsel
for him. This, Judge Forsythe re-
fused to do as it was the practice in
the 18th Judicial Circuit to appoint
counsel only in cases were the pris-
oner might be subject to capital pun
ishment
Subsequent to his conviction, Belts
applied for a writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the 18th Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States had been violated when he was
refused counsel. The Honorable Car
roll T. Bond, Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals of Maryland, de-
clined to release Belts in a writ of
habeas corpus proceedings. An APP
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
from Judge Bonds decision, and certi
orari was granted by the Supreme
Court on February 18th Of this year
Recently the case was argued before
the Supreme Court by Attorney Cen
eral William c. Walsh and Assistant
Attorney General Robert E. Clapp.
The Maryland Attorney General
argued that the due process clause
was satisfied where a defendant is
not affirmatively prevented from be-
ing represented by counsel and where
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1942-06-12

the record showed he had secured a
fair trial without the aid of counsel.
Maryland's law allows a defendant
to demand counsel at State expense in
cases where the prisoner might be
subject to capital punishment.
Justice Owen J. Roberts delivering
the opinion for the six-Justice ma
jority of the Supreme Court said the
right to legal representation in
criminal trial "has generally been
deemed one of legislative policy"
A dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice Hugo L. Black, who was
supported by Justice William o.
Douglas and Frank Murphy.
The case had attracted national at
tention for if the Court had held that
the Constitution required the appoint
ing of counsel in very case where
prisoners liberty is involved it would
have required a material change in
criminal procedure throughout the
country and would also have resulted
in the release of many prisoners now
in the penal institutions of the coun-
try who were tried without counsel.

DELAWARE NOTES A
DECREASE IN TRAFFIC

Memorial Day weekend traffic
was more than cut in half in COM
parison with a similar period last
year as Delaware passed its first war
rationed gasoline weekend without
loss of life from motor vehicle acct
dents.
Nationally the holiday death list
totaled pol Sunday night. which was
still far below the tragic 451 killed
on the Memorial Day weekend last
year. An unofficial total of 70 traf-
fic deaths, 7G drownings, and At mis-
cellaneous fatalities were reported
throughout the nation by 8 o'clock
Sunday.
Despite ideal holiday weather last
Saturday and early Sunday, thou
sands of motorists apparently resist
ed the temptation to use rationed
tires, gasoline, and automobiles for
trips. Those who did take to the
highways drove at moderate speeds,
state police observed.
State Highway counters at the
State Road intersection Of the du-
Pont Boulevard and the Glasgow Road
counted 1862 automobiles during the
40 hours from midnight Friday until
4 o'clock Sunda yafternoon. Last
wear. when the holiday fell on Friday
and a 72-hour count was conducted
from midnight Thursday to midnight,
Sunday, total of 97,649 cars passed
the intersection.
On Memorial Day alone last year
37,41O cars passed the intersection,
compared with 1883 cars for the
same 24-hour period this year. Re
turning traffic last year sent more
than 5000 cars an hour past the in
tersection while less than 1000 cars
an hour passed the intersection dur
ing the heavy hours late Sunday al
ternoon.
Heavy traffic was reported, how
ever, by both bus and railroad en-
ployees. This traffic was declared
by no means a record for holiday
travel
Extra buses were pressed into serv-
ice over the weekend but the facili-
ties were ample to take care of the
traffic. In previous years Bus Cen
ter employees have been forced to
turn traffic away.

KENT AND SUSSEX
FAIR MAY BE CLOSED

Whether existing war time restric-
lions will result in the cancellation of
the Kent and Sussex Fair this year
is a question that is now being held
in allegiance. However, present indi-
cations are that the Fair officials may
soon reach a decision on this point.
Some officials of the Fair who have
been interviewed on the matter, point
out that all of the contracts made by
the Fair Association thus far contain
clause permitting them to be can
celled in event that war conditions
should warrant the cancellation of the
Fair.
In addition to the tire and gas re-
strictions, which it is felt would re-
suit in a decreased attendance, the re-
stricted use of lights at night would
probably result in the inability to put
on the usual evening attractions.
The Fair was listed for the week
of July 9th and is the first fair on
several circuits. In event that the
Fair is cancelled this year it will be
the first time it has not been held
since it was organized twenty-one
years ago.
