WICHITA, Kans., Aug. ga
Kansas judge criticized an in
surance advertising campaign
yesterday as intended to inf1u-
ence jurors to reject damage
claims, but held the ads did not
constitute contempt of court.
Judge w. C. Kandt, in Sedg-
wick County (State) District
Court, said he made his finding
clearing the hackers of the ad-
vertising of contempt charges
with reluctance"
He stressed also his belief in
"the sence of fair play inherent
in our jurors" in his written
opinion.
Charged with contempt, as
sponsors of the ads critical of
the large number of damage suits
being brought into court, were
the American Automobile Insur-
ance Co., the Accident Indemnity
Corp. and the American Asso-
ciated Insurance Companies.
Precedent Setting.
Court officials said Judge
Kandt's action is precedent-set-
ting in that suits elsewhere have
been based on editorial comment
or news columns. 1t stemmed
from a S30,750 damage action
in the State court in Wichita.
Evelyn Hendrix Of Wichita
contended that the advertising
was calculated to prejudice jury
action on her suit against Con-
solidated Van Lines, Inc, OF
California, ard Elmer E. Sisson,
South Pasadena, Calf. for in
juries in a traffic accident. Jhat
case is pending.
The ads appeared in two ma
tionally circulated magazines,
Life and the Saturday Evening
Post. and said casualty insur-
ance rates are increasing be-
cause of excessive jury awards,
rendered by Jurors who feel that
they can afford TO be generous
with the rich insurance COM
4pany's money"

East German Rebels
Made 'UnfouchabIe'
By the Associuted Press

BERLIN. Aug. 22-East Ger
many's Communist bosses, exact
ing revenge for the June II re-
volt in the Soviet zone. are Gre
ating a new class of "untouch-
ables" running into the thous-
andS.
Party and union leaders are
stumping all industrial plants
hit by the rebellion and are
singing out the more vocal par
ticipants of the dramatic up
rising.
In staged workers rallies, the
scapegoats are named, accused
of treason to the working class"
and the issue is put up to the
cowed asSemblage. The vote is
always the same: throw the man
out of the factory.
The verdict amounts to an
economic death sentence. East
Germans with a record of be-
ing ousted from employment by
the workers themselves have
virtually no chance to find a
decent job after that.
Refugees who reached West
Berlin said the publicity given
the individual cases is far-reach-
ing. The victims are forced to
accept the most menial kind of

9Th Fleet Could Defend
Formosa, Admiral Reports
BY the Assoeioted Press

HONG KONG. Aug. 22.-The
United States 7th Fleet at it's
present strength could repel any
Chinese Communist invasion of
Formosa provided it had 72
hours warning, Admiral j. j.
Clark, its commander, said today.
Admiral Clark told a news
conference the feet has orders
to defend the Chinese Nationalist
stronghold but no instructions
to interfere with any move by
Chang Kai-shek's NationaliStS
although the United States is
not encouraging any invasions. :"
The admiral arrived yesterday
aboard the battleship New Jersey
on a goodwill mission. He de-
clared:
"As far as our orders state,
we are not to interfere in any
action by the Chinese National
lists against the Communists. I
know of no agency of the United
States Government whose per-
mission is required before the
Nationalists can act against the
Communists.
He denied reports from For
mosa that the Navy's ban on
Nationalist action against the
Reds, lifted by President Eisen-
hover when he took Office, had
been partly restored.

Factory Workers
Earnings Hit Record
By the Asseeinied Pres,

Average hourly earnings of
factory workers climbed to a
record SLIT last month just be-
fore the Korean truce was signed,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
said today.
This was 81 per cent gain
over the pre-Korean war level.
1t included overtime and other
premium pay. All industries re-
ported higher hourly earnings.
The biggest gains were scored in
defense-related ordnance, pri-
mary metals and instrument in
dustrieS.
The smallest gains were regis
tered in the apparel, textiles,
printing and publishing and to-
bacco industries, where there was
little net change in employment.
Hourly earnings for factory
production workers were 13 cents
higher this July than at the same
time year ago.

Court Blasts Insurance Ads
As Attempt to Sway Jurors

Judge Kandt's finding was
based on the "clear and present
danger rule" set by the Supreme
Court of the United States, in
rejecting contempt charges
against Harry Bridges, lorg-
Shoreman's union leader, and a
Los Angeles newspaper which
printed the protest IF Mr..
Bridges and his union against
a court ruling.
Ads Shock Judge.
Judge Kandt said his "re-
luctance springs from the initial
reaction of shock upon the first
readings of respondents adver-
tiSements and their plans for
what they hope will become an
industry-wide campaign. =.
1T appears clear that the re-
spondents have attempted to do
indirectly what they may not do
directly; that is, to influence in
their favor deliberations and ver-
diets of jurors in each and every
damage action pending and to be
pending within the courts Of this
State, and beyond. ..
However, I cannot conclude
that the danger to fair and i'm
partial trial was made imminent
to a high degree"
