Court Rule "Puts
Newspapers III
Strait Jacket

The Frederick News says in an cdi-
torial that special court rules in Bal
timore put newspapers and radio
stations there in strait jacket in
reporting crime news"
Various groups have Unanswered
to get the Baltimore court ruling to
apply to the balance of the state
which is meeting with opposition. A
legislative bill to end the curb, which
may become statewide September /,
is in the making.
The members of the County Bar
association have gone on record to
make the ruling statewide.
The editorial in the Frederick
News:
"Countrywide interest has been
aroused by the citation of five Balti-
more radio stations for violation of
rules of the Supreme Bench regard
ing the dissemination of news in a
criminal case. The rules have been in
effect in Baltimore since 1889, and
have no doubt kept the Baltimore
newspapers and radio stations in a
strait jacket in reporting crime news.
Recently a movement was inaugu-
rated to extend the rules to the rest
of the state and the matter is slated
to come before the Maryland Court of
Appeals this fall. The proposal has
stirred up bitter opposition from the
county newspapers.
THE purpose of the Baltimore SUI
preme Court rules is obviously to in
sure a fair trial for anyone accused
of crime by preventing the publica-
ton of news and photographs that
might embarass or obstruct the adj
ministration of justice. While the OBJ
ject of the court is certainly worthy
and there must have been a good
reason for adopting them, the present
citation shows the futility of the
courts effort. Nearby newspapers
and radio stations, which are not
under the courts rules, conveyed the
banned information into the COM
munity with impunity.
"A serious question has been raised
as to the validity of the code, mas
much as it limits freedom Of speech
and freedom of the press. 1t is well
THAT lllG IuitS Dt lllOlOuBIiN lCSICu III
the higher courts to settle definitely
this moot question.
whether or not there is need for
such rules in Baltimore we are not
prepared to say. But we do know
there certainly is no justifiable eX-
cuse for extending such rules in
Frederick County. There has been
careful and conservating treatment
of crime news here, and it would be
both untrue and unfair to claim justi-
fication for hamstringing the agen-
cics of communication on the publ
cation Of crime news.
There is too much of a leaning
over backward to aid those who run
afoul of the law. Legal technicalities
aplenty are available-in fact, entire
ly too many in the eyes of the average
layman. 1t is important that no inno-
cent person be punished but it is also
important that the public realize that
violators of the law will receive their
just deserts.
Zone of the great deterrents to
crime is the light of publicity. Many
fear it more than fines and Jail
terms. 1t is also frequently useful in
bringing to justice those who would
flout the law. We should, therefore,
view with concern any restrictions
that limit the handling of news of
criminal cases by press or radio.

Sandy Spring
Football Team
Wins Again

The fast, hard-hitting football
team organized by the Sandy
Spring Athletic Association de-
feated the Laurel team on Thanks
giving Day at Longwood School.
The.g was played in about six
inches of mud. The score was 8
to O.
The two teams battled on even
terms in the first quarter but in
the second quarter, Sandy Spring,
using it's very tricky and deceptive
offense to the best advantage,
marched so yards to touchdown.
Bonds kick for the extra point
was perfect making the score Z
0.
The game see-sawed from one
end of the field to the other for
the next two quarters with neither
team threatening seriously. Sandy
Spring added little insurance in
the last quarter when SnOwden,
the left end, tackled Joe Aitche-
son of Laurel behind his goal line
for a safety and two points.
The game for Sunday, November
%, with Silver Spring, which was
to have been played at Gathers
burg was cancelled because OF
bad weather.

At their final session as
County Commissioners, men,
bers of the board on Tuesday
reappointed F. Barnard Welsh
legal advisor and J. Ernest
Hawkins as clerk to the Coun-
Gil. Their jobs were abolished
under Charter but they too
will continue to serve until an
elected council takes over.
The commissioners at their final
meeting, as such, emphasized that
the government services will go on
as before as was indicated by Irv-
ing G. McNayr, county supervisor,
in statement released to the
press last week.
The four Republican Commits
sioners on Friday filed law suit
attacking legality of a scheduled
Charter Council election set for
January 6. If the commissioners
are upheld in their contention that
the scheduled election conflicts
with provision of the State con-
stitution requiring quadrennial
elections, charter council cleo
ton would be delayed until 1850,
and the present commissioners
would remain in Office until then.
In demurrer filed Monday In
Montgomery County Circuit Court,
charter lawyers said the Commits
sioners were presented with the
charter proposal on May /, 1947.
and by their failure to question
legality of the January elections
until now, should be barred from
bringing legal action.
In another development this
week, the County Charter Com
mittee and the Charter Board
which drafted the charter, received
court permission to intervene as
co-defendants in the suit. Origi-
nally named defendant by F. Bar
nard Welsh, legal advisor to the
commissioners, was the county
board of election supervisors.
Judges Charles w. Woodward
and Stedman Prescott set Decem-
Der 3 as the date for argument on
the demurrer filed this week and
each side was limited to 45 min
utes.
