Browne|I Urges
Day in Court
ForCan1erarne

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
June 10 R.-Attorney General
Brownell has urged that press
photographers be given "their
day in court" to demonstrate
the ease and discretion with
which courtroom pictures can be
taken.
Il know you can do it." he
told the annual convention of
the National Press Photogra-
pliers Association here last
night.
I'm fact, I am recommending
to the chairman of the
American Bar Association Com
mittee that a model courtroom
be set up at its forthcoming
meeting in Philadelphia sol
that press photographers can
show their stuff to show
that this kind of press photog-
raphy can be done and protect
the interests of justice for all
concerned"
Mr.. Brownell frequently re-
ferred to a rule of the ABA,
canon 35, which forbids the TAX
ing of photographs in the court
room during the progress of ju-
dicial proceedings. Fourteen
States have adopted the canon.
The Attorney General said
courts are constantly faced with
the perplexing problem of how toI
reconcile freedom of the press
with the need for maintaining
the impartial administration oil
justice. Neither is more i'm
portant than the other"
Turning again to the bar as
sociation rule, Mr.. Brownell said
it lis intended to prevent cameras
from diverting the attention of
judge and jury to the case, toI
permit lawyers to carry outI
faithfully their obligation to the
accused. and to enable witnesses
to discharge their obligations as
citizens"
Even as Mr.. Brownell spoke, |
photographers worked silently
and unknown to him, taking pic
lures with 35-mm. cameras and
without benefit of flash bulbs.

MEXICO CITY.


A devaluation of the peso. plus
0 wealth of scenic and historic
attractions. have combined to
make Mexico popular spot for
Americans seeking bargain vaca-
lions abroad.
The peso has been cut to 121a
to the dollar, and by trading in
500 the tourist can go a long
way south of the border.
The capital of Mexico and its
environs are at their best during
the summer months. Everything
Is in bloom, the weather is cool.
If your vacation time is limited
and so is your budget, a complete
tour of Mexico and its wonders Is
possibly out Of the question. The
next best thing is a quickie trip
to Mexico City.
Mexico City is no more Mexico
than New York is the United
States. But it's exotic, it's for
eign, it's cosmopolitan. and there
are short and inexpensive side
trips which give you an insight
into all phases of Mexico's life
and its fascinating history.

The distance from Nuevo

City is less than 1000 miles.
There have been some in
stances in the past of banditry

Government Tourist Bureau
maintains, however, that such
Incidents have been extremely
rare, considering the volume of
traffic.
Mexico City with its 3.5 mil
