Decision Made Lost Year
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association asserted today in
a brief filed with the Supreme
Court that a municipality is for
hidden by the Constitution from
imposing a license tax as a con-
dition precedent to the dissemina-
ton of information and opinion"
Elisha Hanson, counsel for the
association, urged the tribunal to
overrule decision it delivered last
June and to declare unconstitu-
tional an attempt by three munich
palities-Opelika, Ala Fort Smith,
Ark, and Casa Grande, Ariz,-to
impose license taxes upon the sale
of printed matter.
54 Vote Last June.
Constitutionality of the ordi-
nances was sustained by five-to-
four vote, in the June decision
Since then Justice James j. Byrnes,
who voted in favor of constitu-
tionality. has resigned and been
succeeded by Justice Wiley B. Rut-
ledge, who, as a member Of the
Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia voted to hold similar leg
islation unconstitutional.
At the request of members of
"Jehovah's Witnesses convicted of
violating the ordinances, the tribu-
nal recently agreed to reconsider its
previous decision and oral argu-
ments will be heard next week. Re-
consideration will give the court an
opportunity, if it SO desires, to over
rule the earlier opinion.
Mr.. Hanson contended that the
license taxes "establish a dangerous
precedent for licensing the press
by legislative devices which resur-
rect the evils the first amendment
guaranteeing freedom of the
press was intended forever to re-
move
mo Ordinary Business"
THE press Mr.. Hanson said, "is
not an ordinary private business
that is subject to licensing or con-
troll
The very fact of licensing to en-
gage or continue in the business OF
publishing or circulating newspapers
destroys the independence of the
press.
Freedom of the press is the right
of the people to have information
of vital public Importance free from
censorship. restraint or control OF
those in authority
so when publishers are constant
ly on guard to challenge any impair
ment of a free press, they are not
seeking special privileges for them
selves or for any class Of persons.
Rather they are discharging their
solemn responsibility as trustees of
the right of all the people to open
channels of inquiry and discussion
on matters of public importance"

SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH
ATLANTIC Delayed Come up to
the topside Of this low -slung British
merchant ship and meet sea faring
lone wolf for whom the U-boat holds
no terror.
You can't repeat his name here,
for security reasons, but when they
call the roll of heroes of the battle
of the Atlantic he likely will be on
the list.
Tall and broad-shouldered, this
ruddy man of the sea has made %
round-trip crossings of the Atlantic
since the war started, only two of
them in convoy. and hasn't had a
serious brush with a U-boat, all of
which adds up to some sort of
record
Conveys Too Slow.
II he has his way-which he
usually does-he1l keep on playing
his own grim game of hare and
hound. He snorts at conveys be-
cause they are too slow for him:
likes to light q shuck on his own
at full steam, and the devil with the
torpedoes.
The shippers disdain for mass
shutting across the Atlantic is born
of an independence acquired in 30
years at sea plus the knowledge
that his ship sprouts a healthy
assortment of ornaments and can
outrun almost any submarine the
Germans could put on her trail
One of the fastest single-screw
merchantmen on any ocean, the
doughty little vessel hauled bananas
in peacetime; now it's bacon and
beef.
Here's the way I look at it,"
the captain explained You lose
your independence in a convoy and
you feel like a sheep among the
slow plodders whose pace keeps you
down. And If the bloke ahead Of
you gets pipped, all you can do is sit
there and wait for your turn to get
pipped.'
Black Cat Mascot.
For a luck piece he carries along
big black cat which spits at every
body but the skipper. She's had rs
kittens since the wars start; cur
rently she's expecting more.
Now come below and get ac-
quainted.
There's Gretta, the stewardess and
only woman in the crew, who is 60
ing through her third war. In this
one, ships were torpedoed from

On landing at a home port from
her latest Atlantic voyage, Gretta
learned that she was the only wom-
an among 156 merchant service vet
erans named in the final New Year
honors list by King George. To her
went the British Empire medal.
! Defies Danger.
A ships officer who went through
the shelling with Gretta told how
she hustled about the ship, defying
exploding steel. to serve hot coffee
and cocoa to officers and men.
Her chief concern" he recalled
was that she spilled some of the
precious drinks. She had some quiet
