where some boys have been stationed for
three years, they could appreciate the
loneliness and the boredom they endure.

IF EVER there was miracle cleaner, SPIC
i. and SPAN is it! 1t gets painted walls,
woodwork, .linoleum-everything like that
cleaner and brighter, easier because you don't
have to rinse-you don't have to wipe dry.
You simply dissolve SPIC and SPAN in hot
water-wring out soft cloth until almost dry
easy step your cleaning's done! Things shine
like newv-with absolutely No Rinsing-No
Wiping!
Besides, SPIC and SPAN actually safeguards
the finish with protective coat-a coat that
seals out dust and dirt.
Use SPIC and SPAN every day for cleaning
enamel, linoleum. kitchen and bathroom fix
tures, floors, painted furniture-dozens of
things. You'll say it's pleasure to keep things
shining -clean-with No Rnsing-No Wipinc!

too big to wait to be turned into
printers ink, but even those an
nOuncements just serve to whet my
appetite for my newspaper.
At first thought we may not think
of newspapers as ESSENTIALS of war,
but actually they are one of our
most important weapons. For if 1t
were not for newspapers the people
would never have known the i'm
portance of getting behind the war
program, would not have known
the danger that we faced, and
might have waited for a German
or Jap invasion before realizing our
great need for planes, tanks and
guns.
And the loss of contact with the
war for a single week, which re-
suited for millions of people from
the strike in New York, undoubted-
ly did irreparable damage to our
homefront morale.
Not only the big dailies, but also
the small weekly newspapers in
10000 small towns of America, are
the backbone of the home front.
Imagine what it would be like if
your local newspaper published no
news about rationing, nothing about
the local boys in the service, no
information about war bond drives,
no news about local scrap collec-
tiOns, and made no comment on the
many other localized programs
which are part and parcel of the
war. You would soon be apt to feel
that the war was none of your busi-
ness, while now, because of the
splendid support given to it by your
newspaper, you know that it is your
most important business. But take
our newspapers away from us for
long and everyone would soon be
well aware of the fact that to-
day, more than ever, "The pen is
mightier than the sword"

NEW LONDON, Conn, July 81
Vice Admiral Wilson Brown. U. s.
NJ, retired. former naval aide to
President Roosevelt. said here to-
day that one probable result of the
war was that the United States has
made more enemies than friends.
In an address at graduation ex-
ercises of the 58th class OF ofiicer
candidates at the Maritime Serv-
ice Ofncers' School, Admiral Brown
asserted:
I'm spite of all that we have done
and suffered In the cause of freedom
and justice. this country has prob
ably made more enemies than
friends during the past four years
We will be bitterly hated by our
present recognized enemies. We
will be envied and reviled by many
we thought to help.
1T behooves us to be strong In
our own defense and to be fair and
decent In the treatment of our
less powerful neighbors, lest, in our
might, we find ourselves in the un-
believable role OF bully and tyrant.
The admiral said the United
States now had "the finest and mosi
up-to-date merchant fleet In the
world"

graduates were commissioned en-

The action was taken at the re-

It's pretty safe guess that the
Florida judges will be sorry.
The present United States Su-
preme Court, not being very sensi-
tive to criticism of itself-and Lord
knows, 1t gets plenty-is even less
sensitive to criticism of the lower
courts. And fiye years ago 1t laid
down the law that a newspaper
which merely criticized the conduct
Of a court or judge could not be
punished for contempt.
One OF the dissenting judges in
the Miami case said he saw nothing
in the editorial or cartoon which
imputes a want of fairness, impair
TALLY or integrity to any judge or
the court" But assume that he
is not a good judge of such mat
ters. Assume that the five judges
were correct when they said, The
vice in both the editorials was q
distorted, inaccurate statement of
facts and with that statement were
scrambled false insinuations that
amounted to unwarranted charges
Of partiSanship and unfairness on
the part of the judges" Then what?
Upset Held Likely.
The United States Supreme Court,
unless 1t reverses itself, will hold
that the Miami newspaper cannot
be punished for contempt because
OF what it published.
For the greater part of hundred
years that had been the highest
courts Interpretation of the only
Federal law we have on the subject.
The statute itself dates back to 1881.
It said that the power 20 punish
for contempt Of court shall not be
construed to extend to any cases
except the misbehavior of any per-
son or persons in the presence of the
court or so near thereto as to OBJ
struct the administration of justice"
The first important decision under
the statute. rendered by the United
States Supreme Court in 1885, said
this meant, "misbehavior which is
calculated to disturb the order OF
the court, such as noise, tumultuous
or disorderly behavior, either In or
so near as to prevent its orderly
dispatch of its business"
In other words an editor. like any
other citizen, couldn't jump up and
down in the courtroom, sit in the
front row and sneer or make a lot
of noise beneath the open windows.
But there was nothing in the con-
tempt law to prevent his pounding
his typewriter tumultuously in his
own office and publishing what came
forth. no matter how much 1t
might irritate the court.
That's the way it was up to 1918
or therea bouts. Then an editor in
Toledo, Negley D. Cochran Of the
old News-Bee, got righteously an
noyed by the conduct of local
judge and started after him. horse,
foot and dragon, which is another
way of saying editorial, news and
cartoon.
Paid Contempt Fine.
Editor Cochran, fined for con-
tempt. appealed to the Supreme
Court-and was told to pay the
fine. So, the law, like the Constitu-
tion, being what the judges say it is
(cf Chief Justice Hughes, editors
had to be kind of careful for the
next 20 years.
But in 1910, in an opinion written
by Justice Douglas, the Supreme
Court restored the law to its orig
inal meaning, saying in so many
words, that decision lin the News
Bee case) must be overruled" When
