finance picture. One element. he
said lis the size of the Federal
payment toward District ex-
penSeS.
Permanent $3.50 Proposed.
On this question, a bipartisan
group of four Senators yester-
day offered a bill to raise the
Federal share to a permanent
Is per cent of total District
Government expenses.

by Senator Johnston, Democrat,
Of South Carolina, for himself
and three members Of the Senate
District Committee: Senators
Beall Of Maryland and Payne OF
Maine, Republicans, and Nicely
of West Virginia, Democrat.
Senator Case said he thinks

number Of other questions along

Among these he mentioned the
cost OF the pending pay raise for
Washington police and firemen

In Maryland Passes,

By Gene Goodwin

oIuI ot0H @ObISSk1OUuSW
ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 31.-A bill
that would severely restrict the
right of the press to report crime
and court news passed it's first
vote test in the State Senate by
q narrow 14-to-12 margin last
night.
The vote advanced the bill to
third reading in the Senate. A
constitutional majority Of Is
votes is necessary to adopt it if
and when it comes up for final
passage.
There is a little bit too much
tenderness on the part of the
press about freedom of speech, ''
declared Senator John Grason
Turnbull, Democrat, of Baltimore
County in urging support of the
bill.
IF the press will not control
itself, in the interest of the
everyday citizen, the time will
come-if it hasn't already arrived
when the press will compel the
people Of this country to control
its unbridled use Of constitu-
tional privilege"
Senator Turnbull is defense
lawyer for a man accused of the
murder Of his wife.
Even now." Mr.. Turnbull
said, "a client of mine awaiting
trial has been prejudiced in his
legitimate defense.
"The right of the press to
speak its mind must be preserved.
OF course it must"

TurnbulI Backs Bill.
The measure was introduced
by Senator Francis x. Dippel,
Democrat. of Baltimore City.
The bill would prohibit States
attorneys and other law enforce
ment officials from discussing
any criminal case with repre-
Sentatives of any public commu-
nication while such case is
pending in the trial courts"
Senate Majority Leader Louis
L. Goldstein, publisher Of two
weekly Calvert County news
papers, was the only spokesman
against the bill.
'I've probably been cussed and
discussed by newspapers more
than any other person in the
Senate" he said, "but we have
a free press in Maryland, and it
knows how far it can co."
Stems From Grammer Case.
Senator Dippel said his bill
stems from the G. Edward
Grammer murder trial in Balti-
more last year.
Life magazine Of September
Is, 1852, disclosed all the details
and evidence in the case prior
to the man ever being charged. "
he stated.
Senator TurnbuN said news
paper stories have prevented a
fair and impartial trial in many
cases.
He said, during the recent
presidential election campaign,
Baltimore newspapers devoted
one, two or three columns a day
to the campaign. but two, three
and four pages a day to the

comment in Karachi, the Paki-

India, said the Pakistanis, has
no right at all to interfere in
the internal affairs or foreign
policy of another country, no
matter how friendly the coun-
tries are.
They added that Pakistan
never has expressed her concern
over India's relations with other
foreign powers, even though
some of these ARE causing great
and active harm to Pakistan."
