Freedom of press and religion" the
chief justice added, explicitly guar
anteed by the constitution, must at
least be entitled to the same freedom
from burdensome taxation which it
has been thought that the more gen.
eral phraseology of the commerce
clause has extended to interstate COM
merce."
The fact that the tax is levied equal
ly on all peddlers made no difference,
Stone said 1t means merely that a
stable expense is required of some
one who may never succeed in rails
ing penny in his exercise of the
privilege which is taxed
Application of the decision to I'M
ions is obvious. If taxes can be levied
on the sale or distribution of litera-
ture, then distributors of union leaf
lets may find themselves in the hoose-
gov because they failed to pay the
$40 or $25 or $500 required.
Some union publications are for
sale at nickel or dime to cover the
expense of printing them. The de-
cision of the court permits municipali-
ties to require the seller of the litera-
ture to pay tax and promises only
vaguely to intervene if the tax is con-
sidered by the court to be exorbitant.
More interesting is the effect of the
minority opinion on poll taxes. Ger
tainly it can be argued that the right
to vote is as much a fundamental
right as the right to freedom of
speech. Though not specifically guar
anteed in the constitution, the right
to vote is implicit in the constitutions
al guarantee of republican form of
government and in the guarantee that
no state shall curtail citizens priv
ileges.
1t may be that another member of
the court can be won to the view of
the dissenting four justices and that
taxes on the right to vote, at least in
a federal election, will be thrown out

COURT FOR week

DECISIONS
June nth - Administration of the
! Estate of Nellie Kelly v. William
Lowney, LoWnsy G. Williams, Inc. and
Carl Jensen. Appealed from Silver
Bow county, Butte. Unanimous opin-
ion of the court prepared by Justice
Albert H. Angstman.
Facts: William Lowney was demon
strating car to Carl Jensen, known
to be an inexperienced driver, and
while Lowney was showing him how
to use the various mcehanisms of it,
the vehicle started forward with Jen-
sen alone in the car. The car ran
into the house owned and occupied by
Nellie Kelly. The cmoplaint charged
negligence in permitting Jensen to
drive the car The jury found for
plaintiff and awarded damages in the
sum of $1,000 for injury to the house
and $4,000 per personal injuries to
and the death of Nellie Kelly.
Held: That the evidence was suffi-
cient to sustain the charge of negli
gence and accordingly the judgment
was affirmed as to the $1,000 for dam
ages to the house, but the cause of
action for personal injuries to and the
death of Nellie Kelly was reversed
and remanded for a new trial upon
the ground that it was error for the
court to instruct the jury that it
could consider the death of Nellie
Kelly in fixing the amount of damages
since the evidence did not show that
the death of Nellie Kelly was caused
by the car running into her house.
June 18th = Pioneer Engineering
Works, Inc. v. p. H. Mcconnell. APP
pealed from Valley county, Glasgow
Unanimous opinion of the court pre-
pared by Justice Albert H. Angstman.
Held: Where the Pioneer company
sold a gravel crusher to Mcconnell
upon a conditional sales contract and
later, because of non-payment of in
stallments, brought suit to recover
possession of it, it was held that the
district court was in error in refusing
to try in the same case, McConnell's
cross complaint for damages because
of the failure of the machine to meet
the specifications required of it. The
case was reversed and remanded for
trial
June 13th-S. X. Myrda v. Harry |
A. Sample. Appealed from district |
court of Missoula county. Opinion of
the court by Justice G. F. Morris. |
Justice Albert Anderson dissenting.
Held: Where Myrdal entered into

JOSEPH (. GREW
 BITTER AT JAPAN
U. s. Maximum Capacities Needed to Smash Brutal ity, Bestiality

Washington, Aug. 31- (UP)- Joseph c. Grew, former ambassador to Japan, warned the American people last night that 1t would take "our maximum capacities" to smash the brutality and bestiality of the Japanese war machine.
 Grew, . career diplomat who has spent the last 10 years in Japan and Is probably the best informed person of events in Tokyo as they affected American relations during that time, in his first public address, told how glad he was to be home, described the last hours in Tokyo before Pearl Harbor and denounced Japanese atroSities in the strongest terms yet uttered by an American official.
 Before discussing the ugly side of cruelty, and utter bestiality, the ruthlessness and rapaciousness of the Japanese military machine which brougEt on this war;" Grew paid tribute to his many Japanese friends who used to contrive to bring him gifts while imprisoned in the Embassy.
 They are not the people who brought on this war;" he said. They were personally loyal to me to the end"

A program of martial music and colorful parade has been arranged to place the citi- Zenry in spirit which will lead to an anticipated record sale of bonds. More than 150 merchants in the central area and numerous others throughout the city are collaborat- ing in the drive.
 A highlight of the city's campaign will take place Labor Day when a number of famous Hollywood stars, including Charles Laughton, Ann Rutherford, and Virginia Gilmore, will make appearances to assist in promoting the sale.
 Liberty House on the Green will be open throughout the month from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. where scores of volunteer workers will do their part in helping to boost participation in the bond-plan method of winning the war.

Zero fighters were shot down. Dam age to American positions was minor and no American planes were lost, the communique said.
 Japanese naval losses now re- ported as at least IS ships sunk or damaged--and plane losses may be even higher. The Navy disclosed that at least 71 planes were shot down durnig the first two days of operations, and has since an- nounced 40 more.
 Several air attacks in force have been beaten off, the Navy said. but the communique mentioning the ac- tion did not give the losse sinfiict- ed on the attackers.

RUSSIA HAS NOT YET CONE DOWN
Stiffening of Her Forces to Block Hitler Plans Re-
 wives Hope
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE (Of the United Press War Desk)

The stiffening of the Russian po- sition in the Stalingrad area gives grounds for restrained optimism.
 The Russians apparently have been able to throw in troop, tank and plane reserves and have def1- nitely slowed the German advance. It is much too soon to say that the advance has been stopped; if 1t were, Hitler'S summer campaign would have failed, which would be cause for rejoicing in all the Uni- ted Nations.
 The important thing is that Mar shal Timoshenko's forces are intact and still are capable of counter attack. To win the summer cam paign decisively, Marshal Won Book has to destroy Timoshenko's forces as a fighting organization. That, 1t Is obvious, he cannot do.
 Apparently the best Won Book can hope for in the remaining weeks of summer is to take Stalin- grad and force the Russians across the Volga. But Timoshenko still will have fighting army Won Book, after the staggering losses of the summer. could scarcely follow him across the Volga for a winter campaign on the Steppes.
 Instead, Won Book probably would have to try to stabilize winter line along the Volga from Stalin- grad to Astrakhan, on the Caspian, and northwestward from Stalingrad along the Don to Voronezh. That would be a line of more than 800 miles, and with Timoshenko still in the field. 1t would take a large Ger man force to hold 1t.
 In conjunction with the Russian strength northward from Voronezh to Leningrad and in the foothills of the Caucasus, Hitler might have from 100000 to 3.00O,00O men tied up during 8 long, hard, Russian

Labor Party Ticket In Fall Election Talked
Enter Candidate for Senator in 5th Support Present Nominee in 10th; Endorse Most of
 Democratic Ticket

Several local labor leaders are seriously considering plan to enter a labor party ticket in the Fall elections here. The Democrat learn ed today. The party would enter a candidate for state senator in the 18th district, against Senator Mich ael V. Blansfield, CD, would en- dorse Attorney John F. Tobin in the 18th district, and would er6orse most of the candidates on the regu- lar Democratic ticket.
 According to the information re- ceived by The Democrat from one of those taking part in the discussions toward formation of a new party, circulation of nominating petitions will begin once final decision to seek place on the voting machines is made. Both CIO and AFL unions are said to be behind the prospec- tive move.
 Both branches of organized labor have been loud in their opposition to Senator Blansfield, and joined forces in an unsuccessful effort to prevent his renomination in the re- cent Democratic primary. Labor has charged him with being "anti-labor" in his views. He has been attacked both by the Mine, Mill and Smell ter Workers Unions, CIO, and sev- eral AFL unions. notably the Truck Drivers local. Whether new party is formed or not, it is known that leaders of the Truck Drivers local plan to campaign against Senator Blansfield.

London, Aug. 31. - (UP) = Some diplomatic quarters believed today that relations between the United States and Vichy may be nearing the breaking point and the rupture might come in October or November.
 Rumors and reports were coupled by these sources with growing con- viction in Great Britain that the British, with the aid of the United States, must clear the Axis out of North Africa and regain control of the Mediterranean.
 Reasons cited by these informed sources for believing the break may come soon included:
 1--ReportS of a threatened dead lock between Gen. Auguste Nogues, Governor General of Morocco and U. s. charge D'AffaireS Robert D. Murphy regarding the shipment of supplies to the Axis through Tunisa.

MAYOR EATEN
 ABOUT ASSURED
TorringtOn Man Very Like ly to Get Nomination for
 Congress in Fifth

Mayor William A. Patten today seemed virtually assured of the Democratic nomination for Congress in the fifth congressional district despite a spirited bid by Lawrence A. Kenny, of Waterbury, former president of the East End Com munity Club. Commitments by
 itchfield county and down-valley delegations give the Torrington chief executive a solid bloc of votes on which to enter the convention and additional support is going his way daily.
 The Waterbury delegation of 46 votes is not committed to any can- didate but 1t will probably go for Mayor Patten unless MT. Kenny shows some as yet undisclosed strength. Local leaders are willing to go along with MT. Kenny but do not want to take part In a hopeless fight that would only further accent the differences between the leader ship here and Democratic chieftians elsewhere in the fifth district.
 John J, Driscoll, local CIO leader, was one of the speakers at Patten- rally yesterday in Tor rington. Though he emphasized that he spoke only as an individual, he said that Mayor Patten had been more active in favor of the cause of labor than any other candidate for the nomination. The candidate with CIO backing, he said, will have a militant organization working for him on election day.
 Among the other speakers were Dr. John c. Satti of New London, former secretary of state, and Sena- tor Thomas F. Curtin.
 Local party leaders concede priv ately that MT. Patten is certain of the nomination. They are unwilling to appear as seeming to obstruct MT. Kenny's campaign but believe that the Litchfield County man has enough support to win easily on the first ballot.
