FISH PEDDLING CASE
CONTINUED IN COURT

A mix-up over the filing of a
brief slowed up Recorders court
yesterday and left the legal con-
flict between state laws and a new
city ordinance over peddlers Ii
censing unsettled.
City Attorney W. B. Campbell
had failed to file a brief. it was
discovered, when the case of J. F.
Lee, out-of-town fish peddler,
charged with selling fish without a
wholesale permit, was called.
Defense Attorney Aaron Gold
berg already had handed in his
brief, as Judge Winfield Smith in
structed the city and defense when
the case originally came up a week
ago.
Court investigation by telephone
revealed that Campbell, who was
not present at the first hearing,
had never been told of the case.
City Manager j.. R. Benson
testified for the city pertaining to
the new ordinance, at the first
hearing. Judge Smith yesterday
continued the case for one week
after protests from Goldberg that
he had a half dozen witnesses in
court and was ready to proceed.

the trans;ators must simplify the

Setting up the type for the

be a herculean task. No linotype
machine has been devised for the

search through a labyrinth of type

to Be Ignorant" maybe. That might
not give them any but the widest
notion of life IN the United States,
but they could never call. it "high-
brow"
This 'highbrow" charge is seri-
GUS one, but thanks to the inven-
tiveness of the American mind,
American radio is in position to
answer it. Out of it's vast store
house, American radio could go on
for years sending short wave mis-
sions to Moscow in rebuttal. We
might never WOO the Russians to
our way of thinking, but we GER
tainly could get them to drop the
Russian word for "highbrow" from
their language.
One program we are reasonably
certain the Russians did not have
in mind is the new version of the
Kay Kyser show (WRC, Wednes-
day., 1890 p.m). Last week was
the week when Mr.. Kyser's listeners
were promised a new formal, with
Mr.. Kyser answering the questions
instead of asking them as he has
done for years. We cannot give a
full report on this affair, because
we heard only the first two ques-
tions and answers. That was
enough to make us flee in fear
before the third bit of gay repartee.
If you missed all this, we submit
for your inspection close ap-
proximation of the dialogue:
why did Washington stand up
in the boat crossing the Delaware?"
Mr.. Kyser was asked. ''I don't know.
Why did Washington stand up in
the boat crossing the Delaware?"
he answered. Because it was win
ter and the seat was cold"
why was my girl friend disap-
pointed in The Yearling'?" went
the second question. "I don't know" "
said Mr.. Kyser. why was your
girl friend disappointed in THE
Yearling'?" Because there were
no kissing scenes and she likes to
see Gregory Peck"
