His troubles began when he
left his store. rented it and got
another job in 1917. He closed
the store two years later. And
then, in 1922, the zoning Board
made the area residential.
When Mr.. Hart returned he
found he couldn't operate the
store. And so he just lived there,
leaving the merchandise on the
shelves to collect dust. hoping he
might some Gay get permission
to resume business.
He sold coal and worked on
new buildings to feed himself

Motions 10 Dismiss
vorhees Censorship
Charges Are Denied
Rx the A.,eeinisd Pres,

FORT MEADE, Md, Feb. al
The Army judge presiding over
the censorship trial Of 1t. Col.
Melvin B. Voorhees, today denied
seven defense motions to dismiss
the charges.
The law officer presiding at
the court-martial, Col. Edward j.
Kotrich. gave no explanation OF
the basis of his refusal.
He had spent almost a full
day listening to the arguments
on the motion.
Defense Counsel 1t. Col. John
T. West, jr., said earlier that If
his motions to dismiss were re-
jected. he might file a motion
to have Col. Voorhees, found in
nocent.
New Motions Argued.
The court was in session only
half an hour yesterday. but the
new motions to throw out the
case were argued in long closed
meeting with Col. Kotrich. Other
dismissal motions were denied
on the opening day Of the trial,
two weeks ago.
Reporters waiting outside the
court room were told that Col.
West argued that the Army reg
ulations under which Col. Voor-
! hees is being tried are vague and
confusing and subject to vary
ing interpretations.
Col. West also was reported to
have contended that they violate
the right of free speech under
the First Amendment to the
Constitution and the right of a
defendant to be informed as to
the nature of charges against
him, as expressed in the Fifth
Amendment.
Col. Voorhees, former Eighth
Army chief censor in Korea, is
accused Of submitting manu-
scripts to publishers without pri-
or Army clearance and disobey-
ing an order to withdraw a spe-
cific manuscript from a publish
er.
Bad Effect on Morale Seen.
Mai. Arthur M. Scheid. prose-
cution counsel, was said to have
argued in the closed sessions
that the regulations are clear
and the Army has WE'LL defined
censorship authority. He was
also quoted as saying certain
parts of Col. Voorhees, writings
would have had a detrimental
effect on Army morale, would
have lessened the confidence in
high officers, and in general
would have been bad for the
military service.
It was believed that the attor-
neys would not get into their
