Venerable Contemporary

The Star wishes to extend greetings to
venerable contemporary, the News and Courier
OF Charleston South Carolina, which is cele-
brating the 150th anniversary Of its founding.
When The Star came into being century ago
the Charleston newspaper already had behind
it half century of lively and prosperous
journalism in what was then the fifth largest
city in the United States. It brought its readers
news of the Louisiana Purchase in 1903 and Of
the War of 1912. It's first big scoop was the
publishing of first news in America Of the sign
ing of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the
War Of 1872 The papers editor achieved this
beat by rowing out to a merchant ship which
had brought word Of the treaty across the
Atlantic. The Courier, later to be merged with
the News, reported the Mexican and Civil Wars
In spite Of press handicaps then existing. ex-
perienced Federal seizure during the carpet
bagger era and survived bombardment from
seaward in 1868, the earthquake Of 1885. boycott
during post Civil War days and sundry other
difficulties. The Star looks forward to con-
graduating the News and Courier on completion
Of its next sesqlicentsnnial Of services.

Grand Jurors Beware

Whatever may be the rule in other jurisdic-
tions, 1t Is clear that grand jury which
publishes critical report In the District does
so at its own risk. That Is the law In the
Nations Capital, and it has been the law
since 1911
Some A years ago group of Fairfax County
citizens concluded that the time had come to do
something about the now-defunct washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railroad Com
pany which in that day ran streetcars from
the District to Falls Church. An outstanding
grievance was that the railroad was too tolerant
of noisy drunks on the late run to Falls Church
and points in between. Led by one Phil D.
Poston, these complaining citizens went before
the Circuit Court In Alexandria and persuaded
the Judge to appoint special grand jury to
investigate the railroad as common nuisance.
This was done, with results that seem bit
startling today. The grand Jurors heard q
parade of witnesses and then, instead Of pre-
ferring any charge against the railroad, they
returned a report which probably made Mr..
Poston's hair curl. The Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon Railroad, one gathers from
the report, must have been about the finest
thing of its kind that the world had seen up
to that time. And as for the complaining Mr..
Poston-the things the grand jury said about
him were hardly At for publication in family
newspaper.
But the grand jury did more than merely
return report. Somebody slipped copy OF 1t
to railroad official before 1t had been presented
to the Judge. And the official had it printed,
presumably as an advertisement, in WASH
ington paper.
This was too much for Mr. Poston. He
hired lawyer and filed suit for libel in District
Court against the railroad, contending that the
published report contained false, malicious and
damaging statements about him.
In the lower court the suit was dismissed
on the ground that the grand Jury report was
privileged document, and therefore could not
serve as the basis for libel suit. But the
Court of Appeals thought otherwise, and this Is
what it said "A practice by grand juries Of
making reports upon the administration Of
public affairs, the condition of public works,
and other matters of public interest, seems to
have grown up in many States, authorized
probably by statute. No statute of the State Of
Virginia has been cited authorizing such prac-
tice. While such reports may, In some instances,
tend to the advancement of the public welfare,
yet, being extrajudicial, their public character
affords no protection to the grand jurors them
selves If they contain libelous matters"
The court went on to point out that the
grand jury might have indicted the railroad as
a nuisance, or might have brought some charge
against Poston, but that it had no authority to
return the report, and therefore it was not
privileged. Furthermore, since the report
tended to bring Poston into ridicule, contempt
and disgrace" he had legal right to proceed
with his libel suit.
This decision by the Court Of Appeals is
the law in the District today, and presumably
it is applicable to all Federal grand juries.

A Good Friend Departs

With Winston Churchill safely In Jamaica
for two-week vacation, those who were view
ing with alarm during his visit to this country
can sit back and try to compose themselves.
For Mr. Churchill did not take the Treasury
with him when he departed, nor did he have
General Eisenhower securely tucked away in
his pocket.
There was something unbecoming about
the teapot tempest which his statement on
Korea and his conversation with the President
elect stirred up. If there was anything i'm
polite about his statement, and it is difficult
to understand why some people seem to think
this was the case at least no harm was done.
Nor is there any reason to think that General
Eisenhower, with or without pledge to Con-
gress would have been overwhelmed and swept
off his feet by the Churchillian charm. After
ALL he has conferred with the British Prime
Minister many, many times in the past, ana
the record indicates that General Eisenhower,
during the war, did rather q good job OF
holding his own.
It is to be supposed that Mr.. Churchill,
in his meeting with the next President, argued
vgorously-as he always has done-for his
own point of view. But it does not follow that
this was bad or dangerous thing. On the
contrary it probably was quite good thing.
For Mr.. Churchill has much to offer and is well
worth listening to. Certainly, over the years,
he has abundantly proved his devotion to the
fundamental things for which we stand, and
has amply demonstrated his competence In
pursuit of common aims.
Now that the petty carping has subsided,
it is fitting to say that it was good to have him
as guest, and, when he returns to London, It
will be good to know that such sturdy
champion of freedom and free men is at the
helm of the government of our principal ally.

Modern Marriage:
Rating Scale
For Second
Marriage
BY Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Census statistics show that
the chance of success in S c.
ond marriage following divorce
is reduced by 500 over the
chance of first marriage. This
fact. which l published some
time ago in this column, dis
courageS Mr.. P. "I am engaged
to a very sweet and attractive
young woman" he tells me. "She
was married for about a year to
some fellow in the army, and
then divorced him. I don't
know too much about the cir
cumstances. but your statement
scares me, DR.. Popenoe. Is there
any way to figure out whether
she might do well on a second
trial?"
1t will depend largely on how
hard she is willing to try, Mr..
P. If she evades discussion of
her previous marriage and evi-
IDENTIFY is anxious to keep it out
of her mind, or if she is continu-
ally denouncing her previous
husband, the prospects are not
too favorable for her. But since
one person out of every five who
marrieS nowadays in the United
States has had previous mar
riage sometimes terminated by
death, of course) plenty of other
people face the problem you de-
scribe. Let's set up a little rat
ing scale for your bride-to-be:
l. She gets along we'll with al
most everyone else, including her
own family. Yes. No.
2. She is universally described
as having "a good disposition"
Yes. No.
3. She has insight into the
reasons for the failure of her
marriage and does not attribute
it entirely to the unworthineSs
of her husband. Yes. No.
4. She admits freely that she
herself was partly to blame.
Yes. No.
5. She has taken definite
steps to remove any deficiencies
on her part that contributed to
the failure. Yes. No.
6. You are able to get outside
information confirming her ac-
count of the breakup. Yes. No.
7. She has waited long enough
after the divorce so there is no
danger that she is remarrying
on the rebound. Yes. No.
8. Her parents are happily
married Cor were, If now dead.
Yes. No.
9. Her brothers and sisters Gf
any are happily married. Yes.
No.
10. She is free from bitterness,
pessinism, or cynicism about
marriage and family life. Yes.
No.
If most of those can be
marked Yes I'd say she's good
prospect, Mr.. P. (The same
scale could be applied to man.

If you have been reading
why Grow Old?" for the past
several days you know that I
am running my Tubby Hubby
reducing diet. No wonder over
weight is one of our national
health problemsl 1t is so pleas
antly acquired and creeps up
on us so gradually.
If the man in your life is
adopting this diet for IL days
know you mothers and sisters
and daughters and wives will
cheer him on with real help
and interest. I want to call
your attention to the fact that
these diets are well rounded and
balanced. They supply the es-
Sentials for good nutrition. You
do not have to plan two sets of.
meals, one for Tubby Hubby
and one for the rest of you.
You can add calories to the
diet he uses by an addition of
more butter, whole milk instead
of skinned, desserts and the
various trimmings. You can also
give other members of the FAM
lily larger helpings or seconds.
Remember, though, that the
reducing diet for men has more
calories than the ones I plan
for women and beware of add
ing too much or you will find
yourself gaining while your hus-
band is losing.
The man who is fond of pies
and desserts of all kinds will
miss them at first but before long
they will seem unimportant to
him. Anyway the most vital
factor in any reducing routine
