"(5) We fully endorse the prin-
ciple that an accused person is en-
titled to a fair and impartial trial
and that the public should not be
prejudiced by an overzealous press.
Instances of newspapers violating the
fair practice code are rare indeed,
and are fully punishable by existing
laws. The proposed rule, because of
its comprehensive nature, tends. to
put the welfare of an accused above
that of the general public. The rule,
if put into effect, might become a
curtain drawn against public scru-
tiny of the police and courts.
go In reality, if adopted, the
rule would have little or no meaning,
so far as citizens of Maryland are
concerned, since the press and radio
outside Of Maryland, such as those
located in Washington, Philadelphia.
New York and Wilmington are noo
hampered by such restrictions and
would keep citizens within the State
fully informed through complete
coverage.
BE it therefore resolved, that
members of the Maryland Press As
ISOLATION are unanimously and vigor-
ously opposed to the adoption Of
Rule 8 by the Court of Appeals Of
Maryland, feeling that such action
would be contrary to the best inter
ests Of citizens of the State.

key to all their libertiesl"

A letter representing the views o

the Maryland Press Association
Judge Bailey is chairman of thu
Court Of Appeals committee on Prac
tees and Procedure, which is con.
sidering the recommendation of :
subcommittee that rule 904 be
adopted by the Court Of Appeals.
In discussing the handling of crime
news, the letter of the Maryland
Press Association said that in sucF
cases it is the peoples right to know
that an offense against society he
been committed. how and by whom;
and the steps being taken for the
protection of society, and that a free
and unhampered press is one of the
greatest safeguards citizens have in
the administration Of public affairs.
Anything which tends to put of
fcials in a position where their ar
lions are protected from constant
scrutiny would certainly tend to fcs-
ter corruption, the letter charged, and
it further stated that without facts
many stories of a detrimental and
vicious nature soon would be circu-
lated about the authorities and even
tually the public's confidence in then
government would be destroyed
Decision to place the Maryland
Press Association on record as or
posing the adoption of Rule 904 by
the Court of Appeals was reached at
a meeting of the Board of Governors
of the Maryland Press Association
held at the Lord Baltimore Hotel,
Baltimore, on July 81. Representa-
tives of the daily as we'll as weekly
newspapers attended the meeting.
Unanimous opposition to the pro
posed Rule was voiced and the COM
mittee headed by Mr.. Worthington
was named at the meeting to draft
a letter which would express the
views of the press of the state. Selv-
ing with Mr.. Worthington on the
committee were Elmer NJ. jackson, of
Annapolis, and G. Bowie McCeney,
publisher of the News-Leader, at
Laurel. The committee met at the
offices of the Maryland Press Associ-
alton in Baltimore on August 10 and
drafted the letter which Mr.. James
presented to Judge Bailey today.
The letter reads in full as follows
Being thoroughly conscious of the
vital role that both the Courts and
press play in the American way OF
life, and feeling that the limiting of
activities of either would prove con-
trary to the best interests OF the
public, members Of the Maryland
Press Association have learned with
