Virginia Court Drops
Contempt Charges
Against Morrison
BY the Associated Press

KING GEORGE, Va, Sept. O.
A contempt of court charge against
Horace T. Morrison, Common
wealth's attorney for King George
County. has been dismissed at the
request of the State.
The charge was based on a let
ter Mr.. Morrison wrote Gov. Bat
tie and released to the press in
which he sought impeachment
proceedings against Judge Leon M.
Bazile.
After Judge Brockenbrough
Lamb ruled that the truth or
falsity of Mr.. Morrison's charges
against Judge Bazile were not an
issue in the contempt hearing,
Special Prosecutor John D. Butz-
ner, jr., asked dismissal of the
contempt charge.
Judge Lamb had ruled that the
issue was one of privilege.
Asks Dismissal.
"The court, by it's ruling, has
indicated that the truth of falsity
Of the charges cannot be shown,
and in view of that ruling the
Commonwealth cannot carry the
burden of proof inherent upon it,"
Mr.. Butzner told the court, and
added:
Nothing remains to be done
save to move for the dismissal of
the rule. which motion is at this
time made"
Defense Attorney Duval Rad
ford of Bedford contended in
opening arguments to dismiss the
contempt proceedings that the
letter to Gov. Battle and its re-
lease to the press were privileged.
Judge Bazile, who charged Mr..
Morrison with contempt of court,
held that contempt consisted of
releasing the letter for publication
In the letter Mr.. Morrison had
charged Judge Bazile with fla
grant disregard of judicial pro-
cedures."
Judge Has No Appeal.
Judge Lamb said the burden of
proof of malice rests with the
prosecution. After judicial action
but not before-has been taken
all citizens are at liberty to pub
lish their opinions of the decision
nf the court, but cant do it in a
oontemptuous, obscene or insulting
manner"
AS for his ruling on the truth
or falsity of Mr.. Morrison's letter
to the Governor. Judge Lamb said
there were two tribunals to try
such q case-the State Senate in
Impeachment proceedings insti-
tuted in the House of Delegates
and a jury or judge to try a libel
suit.
Judge Lamb added that Mr.
Morrison was not responsible be-
cause 1.-The effort at impeachment
proceedings has failed"
Judge BaZile has no appeal
from Judge Lambs ruling in the
contempt proceedings according to

War Veterans
MayBeDrafted
After January
New Congress Due
To Consider Lifting
Age Limit to IS

Moves to lift the draft age limit
from Is to IS and induct World
War II veterans are slated for
early consideration by the new
Congress, it appeared today.
Chairman Vinson Of the House
Armed Services Committee said
his committee would take UP both
matters in January, after the 82d
Congress convenes.
Mr.. Wilson'S prediction came
just before President Truman said,
in a radio address to the Nation,
an armed force of 8 million men
was planned for the near future.
Only Thursday, the chairman Of
the House group said fathers and
husbands up to the age 3f 26.

Congress had provided allow
ances of $85 to $165 a. month for
GI families.

That has been changed, he said.
Now he doesn't expect any change
in draft procedures before Janu-
ary. He added that fathers may
not be called until bachelor vet
Grams are made subject to the
draft. Under present regulations,
veterans with 80 days active serv-
ice are exempt.
Meanwhile. Congress completed
action on bill to draft physi-
clans. dentists and other medical
specialists. The measure now
awaits Mr.. Truman's signature.
Under it's provisions, medical
men would be required to register
for the draft if they are under
81 years of age. They would serve
81 months, If drafted.
Could Be Called as Reserves.
Should they join the reserves,
they would not be drafted, but
would. of course, be subject to
call to active duty at any time,
like other reserves.
A $100-a-month bonus would
be paid to those medical men who
volunteer for active duty, but if
they wait to be drafted they
would not be entitled to it.
The bill is aimed at encouraging
the recruitment of $500 doctors
and 5000 dentists who got their
training at Government expense
during World War II and who
saw little or no active service.
