The Case for the Press Photographer

should not be presumed that
they, any more than press re-
porters, would act without de-
corum in our courts.
Judge Con Act
In the final analysis the pre-
siding judge in any court is in
full control of the situation and
has full power to deal with any
individual case bordering on
contempt, regardless of whether
the offender be photographer,
lawyer. reporter or spectator.
The judge can remove any per-
son at any time who interferes
with the orderly process Of the
trial regardless of that persons
connections: hence there is no
valid reason for what amounts
to class legislation.
A logical first step in the
right direction might well be
action by the American Bar
Association to expunge the
canon Of judicial ethics which,
as it stands, is a direct chal-
lenge to the American concept
of freedom of the press. To
quote one of our most respected
Supreme Court jurists, Justice
Benjamin Cardozo. II think
that when a rule, after it has
been duly tested by experience.
has been found to be inconsis-
tent with the sense of justice
or with the social welfare. there
should be less hesitation in
frank avowal and full abandon
ment."
Our judges have long since
doffed the wig and black cap,
and other ritualistic symbols of
a bygone age; now 1t is time
that they take a more realistic
attitude toward one of our most
powerful means Of public in
, formation.

side"
Costo's Argument
It is indeed difficult to see
how news photography carried
out in the manner described by
Judge Sauter could in any way
detract from the dignity of the
proceedings. AS Mr.. Costa says,
This excuse simply does not
square with the facts. In view
of the fact that churches of all
denominations permit pictures
of their services, one naturally
is led to ask, Are the courts
more sacrosanct than the
houses Of God?'"
Nor does the argument that
taking pictures Of a witness
during a trial or testimony dur
ing a public hearing tends to
make the witness nervous, hold
water. If we accept this as a
valid reason for barring news
photographers it could just as
easily be used as a precedent
for an extension Of rules to bar
news reporters on the same
grounds.
The time has arrived for our
courts to take a more realistic
attitude toward the entire sub
ject of news photo coverage.
Photographers differ from
other reporters only by virtue
of the tools of their trade. One
reporter uses a pencil and paper
to record details of a trial while
the other makes use of a cam
era. Photographers are not a
different breed of men and it

inspiration almost entirely from
the sea coast, fishing boats. and
related subjects. Concerning
"Penthesilian .Trawler." one Of
the paintings in his present
show in Baltimore, and repre-
sentative of his work, he said:
"It is the tangible result Of
feelings evoked upon seeing
these sturdily built fishing craft
off the coast of North Carolina.
It was then a matter Of con-
veying, through painterly
means, what I could of my
reactions to the original emo
tions felt.
"The feeling involved in this
painting Is more than that of
a casual observer. for although
I was born in Washington, my
parents were born and raised
in this self-same fishing COM
munity in North Carolina"
Mr.. Lewis further said that
a number of his relatives make
their living from the sea.
His paintings are romantic,
simplif1ed evocations of his ex-
perience, revealing a flair for
the use of ellyptical lines, and
preference for a few jewellike
colors: Lapis and warm light
blue, a luscious red, white, oc-
casional dusty rose, soft yellow
and olive green.
He studied at the Corcoran
School, began his career less
than a decade ago with a one
man show at an artists group
gallery on M street. He had
served in the Navy during
World War II, and had sew
eral years of study in New
York City before he returned to
the Corcoran as an instructor
in 1949-50. Then he was
granted a Tiffany fellowship.

Pustoruls
Long time Washingtonians
are much interested in the first
one-man exhibition of paint
ings by Armistead Peter III, a
member of one Of Washington's
oldest families. Thirty of his
water colors are on view in the
George Washington University
Library, 2023 G street NV.
through January. incidentally,
the artist is a great-great-great-
great grandson Of Martha
Washington, whose grand
daughter Martha Custis, mar
ried Thomas Peter and bought
the then unfinished Tudor
Place in Georgetown, one of
the finest early Federal houses
in the District of Columbus. It
has remained in the Peter fam
lily nearly a century and a half.
This family history has MOTH
ing to do, of course, with the
merits of Mr.. Peters water
colors, unless it may be consid-
cred to have set their pattern
of traditionalism. They are
wholly conservative, compe-
tently executed, and reflect as
closely as he was able to cap
ture it, the appearance Of the
scenes he painted. Obviously,
he has strong feeling for pic
torial beauty. Most of his wa
tercolors depict the farm coun-
try in northern New York
(where he owns and operates

neighboring Vermont. Once one

area. has the flavor of a Jap
anese painting in its delicate
color and economy of detail, as
is also the case with 1.-THE
Bridge Builders"
Why Mr.. Peter has waited
until now to have one-man
show is inexplicable, since he
liked to draw from early child
hood. After his marriage, his
wife's stepfather. the late Paul
