adversary across the cheek! The
victim promptly filed damage
claim against the hot-headed car
penter. The latter pleaded that the
neighbours answer made me mad"
but the court decided that wasn't
a very good excuse. Holding the
carpenter liable, the judge said that
such fiery displays Of temper have
no place in a court of justice.

Is q Store Responsible
For the Safety Of
A Windowshopper?

While waiting for a street car,
a girl went over to look at some
lingerie in nearby window. AS she
stood there, a gust Of wind toppled
the stores awning down upon her.
Injured, the girl sued for damages.
The proprietor Of the store argued
that he had no obligation toward a
mere window-shopper - especially
one who had no intention of buying
anything! However, the court
granted the girls claim, The judge
commented: window displays
challenge the attention of the public
and invite closer inspection OF their
wares. The girl was there by the
implied invitatio or allurement OF
the merchant, and he therefore
owed her the duty to see that his
premises were In reasonably safe
condition"
A wooden chest, evidently lost
from a passing ship, was washed
up onto the seashore property of a
retired captain. A beachcomber
noticed the chest, liked it, and
hauled it to his cottage. When the
captain found out what had oc.
Cured, he sued the beachcomber
for the value of the chest. The
latter argued that neither of them
really owned it-so the first finder
could keep it. However, the court
upheld the captains claim, The
Judge said that the owner of the
seashore property has prior rights.

In the Eyes Of the Low?

A certain town passed blue
Law which prohibited all labor on
Sundays except for works of
necessity" One Saturday night, a
man went to the barber shop for
a shave. However, before his turn
came he became i'll and had to go
home. The next morning, at his
special request, the barber went to

The improvements at Bethel School in
Washington County are the result of
cooperative effort in the finest Ameri-
can tradition. There's new "eye rest"
paint throughout, Venetian blinds,
modern huorescent lighting in the fine
library. To list all those who helped in
the project would be impossible here
but let's listen to few students discuss
the results:
o Says Joyce Price, "Last year
we couldn't see in the library
on dark days, except near the
windows. Now we have plenty
of light everywhere and all the
time"
Nell Self adds, "The new
blinds, paint, and lights make
the library more cheerful
place in which to study"
June Cullip sums up, 81 think
all of our classrooms should
have the same kind of lighting
as that in the library"

From where [ sit, we should all
watch out for the SYMPHONIC

when individual intolerance wal

ward areas. He declared the sur
veys will make it possible to de-
velop better transportation and

Col. Tandy described the diff
cult problems of mapping parties

Amazon River. He cited the alb
sence of radio communication and
lack of transportation and proper

earthquakes and volcanoes.

Medina Says He'll jail
Reds Who Refuse 10
Answer Questions
sy the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-Jail
terms have been threatened for
defense witnesses at the Red con-
spiracy trial who get tight-lipped
when quizzed on certain subjects.
Federal Judge Harold r. Me-
dina says he has no alternative
but to hold in contempt and send
to jail witnesses who refuse to
answer relevant questions.
So far in the 7-month- old
trial at least half dozen wit
nesses have baked at giving GER
tain information, especially the
names of Communist Party asso-
ciates in their home communities.
Most of the witnesses have
claimed that giving the names
would jeopardize the jobs of the
persons whose names were sought.
Only one witness, John Gates,
editor of the Communist Daily
Worker and a defendant. has been
punished for such refusal. He
spent 80 days in Jail.
Defense Counsel Warned.
But the judge admonished de-
fenSe counsel yesterday:
IF a witness is directed by me
to answer a question and refuses,
I would have no alternative but to
send that person to jail-as l did
| in the case of Mr.. Gates-which
is precisely what I will do If
the occasion arises"
The Judge said previous wit
nesses have deliberately and in
sequence refused to answer ques-
tions,'
It's a most extraordinary thing
that both they and their counsel
persistently pick the questions
they will and will not answer, y
he said.
The judges remarks came on
day that saw a quickening in
the tempo of the trial, in which
IL top Red leaders are accused OF
conspiring to advocate forcible
overthrow of the Government.
The speedup resulted, at least
partly, from new restrictions
clamped by the judge on defense
testimony, limiting it to material
pertaining to the charge.
Three Witnesses Called.
During the day cross-examina-
ton of Mrs. Geraldyne Lightfoot.
Chicago Negro Communist, was
completed.
Another witness. Samuel J. Hall,
jr.. regional party organizer OF
Birmingham, Ala. was questioned
by both the defense and the pros
ecution and dismissed, and third
witness called.
The latter was Robert Name
witz of st. Louis. a member of the
Missouri State board of the party
He testified only briefly before

By the Associated Press

/
NEW YORK, Aug. S. Tht
Lonely Hearts" murder trial
nearing an end, was delayed to-
day by the illness of Supreme
Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora.
Justice Pecora was reported suf
fering from cold in the back.
The trial, in which Mrs. Martha
Beck and Raymond Fernandez
are accused of numbering &C.
year-old widow, is scheduled tC
resume Monday, when the defense
is expected to finish its case.
The State then plans to call two
pSychiatrists to rebut the defense
contention that Mrs. Beck either
didn't know what she was doing OF
couldn't control herself when she
killed the widow, Mrs. Janet Fay
of Albany.
A surprise" woman witness also
is expected to be called by the
prosecution.
An opinion that 29-year-old
Mrs. Beck might not have been
legally responsible for her act was
offered yesterday by a psychia-
trist, DR.. Richard H. Hoffman, in
his answer to a long Hypothetical
question asked by the defense at
