Spoken Accusation
|0f Communism Isn't
Islander, Court Rules

NEW YORK. Oct. LIT is not
lslanderous in itself to ':all some
lone o Communist. says q New
York State Supreme Court justice,
although it is libelous to do so In
writing and without grounds.
Justice Macmillan Moss de-
llivered this opinion in Brooklyn
yesterday in dismissing a $2O,0 900
damage suit brought by an AFL
organiZer and his wife against a
lneighbor.
Saying he was taking judicial
notice" Of the cold war, Justice
Moss asserted: "Our safety is
best served by an exposure Of
Communists and communism.
Free Play Preferable.
He said It therefore was better
ITO allow free play of our emo
tons in dealing with persons
whom we believe to be Com
munists rather than seal the lips
Of people who might be frightened
into silence and suppression lest
use Of the word Communist
should per sc Gin ITSELF force
upon them costly litigation"
The action was brought by David
Keefe, organizer for the AFL
Office Employees International
Union. and his wife, Mary, against
Mrs. Helen O'Brien.
Justice Moss ruling recognized
that the State Court Of Appeals,
New York's highest tribunal, has
held that falsely accusing some
one in writing of being q Commu-
mist 10 libel.
Oral Ban Would Aid Reds.
The justice commented:
Here we do not have q writ
ing but merely an oral assertion
which allows the court the privi-
lege of affirming the hitsoric dis
tinction between Islander and Libel
which has existed over the cen
turies."
To rule otherwise, Judge Moss
said, would enable the Commu-
nistS to institute suits for dam
ages promiscuouSly. regardless Of
the ultimate outcome" He added
THAT Communists seek to make thu
courtroom a propaganda forum.
1, Justice Moss said the complaint
was not SUFFICIENT TO show specia.
damage, but he gave the Keefe.
100 days in which to amend it.
The Keefes, through their at.
torneys. said they would do *
and continue the suit.

Sponsor, Quitting, Charges TV
|Overshadows Grid Broodcusts

Size OF those payments is a
confidential matter between the
schools and the sponsor. but is
generally believed to amount to
an expenditure of many thousands
of dollars by Atlantic during each
football season.
In place of the college game
broadcasts, Atlantic said it is
planning a major program of
telecasts of professional football.
Among the colleges notified OF
the discontinuance of the radio
broadcasts were Pennsylvania,
Princeton, Pitt. Penn State, Duke,
Syracuse. Harvard, Yale. Frank
lin and Marshall, Navy and North
Carolina. Last fall Atlantic
broadcast more than lis college
football games in the East. South
and Midwest.
Atlantic sponsorship Of college
game broadcasts has continued
without interruption since 1886,
Experiments with television broad
casts were begun in 1910 and ex-
panded in the years after World
War II until adoption Of the

BY the Associosed Press

SAN FRANCISCO, May 49,
Anthony J. Morabito, owner of
the San Francisco Forty-Niners
pro football team, has been ad-
vised by his doctors to sell out
because of his health, according
to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Chronicles copyrighted

Bruce Lee said that Morabito ac-
knowledged he was studying the
doctors advice. but has not yet
decided what he will do.
Morabito recovered from q
heart attack three months ago
but has been told to forego the
emotional strain of managing the
football team.
MY own guess is that the
Forty Miners will be sold for
about $750,000." the Chronicle
writer said.
Morabito and his brother Vic
