Chongchun laps Helping
RehobiIitute Monchurio

PEIPING, Mar. Z (P).-The jap
anese in Changchun are helping
their conquerors plan the rehabilita-
ton of the great broken industrial
empire of Manchuria.
Japanese technicians, economists
and scientists have been put to
work assisting the Chinese govern
ment in drawing up a program of
reconstruction.
So far, however, it is a discourag-
ing job, and the task of restoring
PROSTATE Manchuria has proceeded
little beyond the drawing board
stage.
Most of the japanese are working
with the Chinese economic mission.
Some scientists are teaching at the
university. The remainder are
petty technicians.
Top-ranking Japanese technicians
are living fairly well, according to
oriental standards.

SUPREME COURT

$50 against questioning of the wit
nesses, the Supreme Court opin-
ion pointed out that Miss Brannon
was not present when the order was
given and that she asked no further
questions after being informed of
the court order by the deputy sher-
iff.
She was charged with contempt
for having attempted to embar-
rass the court in the performance
of its duties and to hinder and i'm
pair the orderly progress and func-
ton of the said trial, and act de-
nounced by the laws of the State of
Mississippi. -"
The Holmes court found Miss
Brannon guilty and sentenced her
to pay SIS. and serve a 15-day term
in the Holmes county Jail, suspend
ing the sentence for the next two
years on condition that "the de-
PENDANT not violate any of the laws
of the state of Mississippi. -"
In pronouncing sentence, Judge
S. F. Davis of the 4th circuit district
said, Il sympathize with you and am
sorry you got in this mess but you
brought it on yourself. l realize you
are putting on a great campaign for
law and order but if you read his
tory you will see that the only per
feet being didn't make much of a
hi with His reform. He reformed a
few and left this advice before you
clean up someone else clean up for
yourself SO few of us pure are left.
l admire your spunk but doubt your
judgment"

son attorneys and Ben Wilkes of
Greenville.
In the controlling opinion written
by Judge L. A. Smith, Sr. the Su-
preme Court declared, 1--WE cannot
find any justification of this con-
viction against appellant from the
evidence. 1t is certainly insufficient
to overcome the presumptions in
her favor against contemptuous-
ness, or to convict beyond a eason
able doubt"
Previous paralleling cases Wsre
cited pointing out that in order to
find an appellane guilty of contempt
had been set for the strike. While
it was necessary to show that the
defendant has Calculated to i'm
pede, embarass, obstruct, defeat
or corrupt the administration of
justice"
"We find ourselves unable, the
opinion continued, upon the sub
stantial basis mentioned, to point
out under the facts IN this case, the
requisite corrupt element. On the
contrary, so far as we can see,
the act, so far as it went in this
case, or was intended to go en-
braces nothing which in substantial
effect would impede justice, or
would obstruct, defeat or corrupt
the administration thereof"
The opinion concluded that the
conviction cannot be sustained
because there was wholly insuffi-
cient proof to sustain it."
In defending Miss Brannon's ac-
ton, the Supreme Court declared
that 'The freedom of the press is
no idle and meaningless term. 1t

GOSPEL TALKS

Enduring Meat

Enduring Meat
Labor not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat which
endureth unto everlasting life, which
the Son of Man shall give unto YOU"
John 6:27.
According to the Word of God,
the world is upside down. 1t has
been turned that way by sin. Once
man knew God directly and fellow
shipped with Him as a friend. Then,
sin entered and there could no long
er be direct and immediate fellow
ship with God for sin separates. The
essence of that first sin and of every
sin is the putting of something else
or someone else in Gods place.
Today the world goes on putting
values on things which belong to
God alone. Worldly goods are sought
and heavenly treasure is neglected.
Labor is spent on that which salts
fies not. Christ sought to give men a
true sense of value and help them
to turn the world right side up. He
said, LAY not up for yourselves
treasures on earth -. but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven
Matt. GIG, 20. Labor not for the
meat which perisheth," Why spend
yourself on that which does not en-
dure but is only passing? Seek that
which endures unto life eternal. Let
nothing come between you and your
putting God first in your life.
The meat which endures unto
everlasting life is given by the Son
of man. We labor for that which does
not endure when all the time Christ
is willing to give that which is eter-
nal and enduring without price and
without labor. Truly, the beast
things in life are free--the free gift
of God. Surely a world that disregar-
de these values given free and lab
ors for things that neither satisfy
nor endure is upside down. Will you
put God first in your life? Seek the
meat which endures unto everlasting
life. Jesus said, II am the bread of
life: he that cometh to me shall
never hunger; and he that believeth
on me shall never thirst" John 6:35.

an idle and meaningless phrase,
either. 1t proclaims a demand to all
dealing with courts, for proper re-
spect and obedience"
ssThe function of the press is to
keep these people informed of mat
tiers of public interest even OF the
administration of the courts.
However, the press has not an
unqualified right to learn and pub
lish all information about every
judicial function-the secrets of the
grand Jury, to name one, for IN
stance, must not be revealed for a
period of time. On the other hand,
ordinarily the court has no right
| generally to deny to the press OPP
p~ortunity to learn, and the right to
| publish, the legitimate facts OF trials
during the public progress thereof.
Accuracy of this information is
important and the dissemination OF
it correctly is salutary, in the public
interest. Courts should therefore
permit representatives of the press
reasonable means of getting the cor
rect news, which privileges the
press should exercise with all due
care in order not to impede the pro-
cesses of ~judicature and the admin
~istration of the business of courts.
Courts are clothed by law with pow
er to punish offenders who deliber-
ately impede the progress OF the
judicial function, for contempt and
who fail to exercise with such due
care"
