Judge Gray 10 Preside
In News Censorship
Contempt Proceedings

Judge John 3. Gray, jr,, of Prince
Frederick, member of the bench in
the 7th Maryland judicial circuit,
today was designated to preside over
contempt proceedings in the Balti-
more news censorship case.
Judge Gray was named by the
Maryland Court OF Appeals to hear
arguments in the case involving five
radio stations and a news commen-
tator. A date for the hearing has
not been set.
The defendants were cited by
Judges Emory H. Niles and John P.
Tucker of the Baltimore Supreme
Bench for violating court rule 904.
Wider Adoption Proposed.
This rule. whose adoption by the
entire State judiciary has been pro-
posed, prohibits newspapers and
radio stations from publicizing GER
tain information in crime cases.
Judges Niles and Tucker said the
broadcasters violated the rule and
therefore were in contempt OF court
in reporting the confession of Eu-
gene H. James, 81, colored janitor,
in the Staying of an ll-year-old
Baltimore girl.
James recently was sentenced to
hang for the Staying of Marsha Brill.
He also is under indictment in the
District of Columbia for the murder
of Carol Bardwell. II, while she was
on a bicycle ride through Rock
Greek Park.
Quash Motion Filed.
One of the defendant radio sta
tions, WSID, with transmitters out
side the Baltimore corporate limits,
has filed a motion to quash the con-
tempt citation in its case on the
ground that the city court lacks
jurisdiction.
Two other stations have chal-
lenged the constitutionality of Rule
e04. Papers filed by WFBR and
WCBM contend the court rules vio-
late the freedom of the press, are
vague and indefinite.
Station WITH and James P. Con-
molly, news commentator for WITH,
contended the rule is unconstitu-
tional. Station WBAL has not yet
replied.

While Mr. Woods did not specify

his remarks were interpreted to
mean that he would be opposed in

that he would consider proper a

it in line with the national law

Interior Department
Fund Of 400 Million
Voted by Conferees
BY the Associated Press

An Interior Department appropri-
alton bill approximating 100000, ,000
was approved last night by House
and Senate conferees.
Neither the House nor Senate
group, however, was certain just
what the bill contains.
Senator Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska and Representative Jen-
sen, Republican, of Iowa, the chair
men, said the exact total and Ian
guage of the bill will not be known
until the clerks have time to COM
plete compiling it sometime today.
Both Senate and House still must
act on the compromise.
Senate Change Accepted.
One provision agreed to was the
Senate amendment that the recla-
nation commissioner, his assistant
and regional directors cannot hold
Office after January 81 unless they
are engineers of at least five years
experience.
1t will apply to Commissioner
Michael w. Straus and Richard l..
Boke, California regional director,
if they are in Office then. Neither
are engineers. The House version
would have ousted them July /.
The total is a compromise be-
tween the Senate's $422.179,09 and
the $375 ,692,591 voted by the House,
with some added to take care of in
creased appropriations for Davis
Dam in Arizona Nevada and the
Hungry Horse project in Montana.
AS they left the conference room.
the committee members said it had
been impossible to keep track of
the action on the Dab changes the
Senate made in the House bill.
Must Compare Notes.
They said the final report can
only be determined after the staffs
of the two committees compare
