0Hutf Asks Court
To Toss Out Charges
0fCriminaI CONTEMPT

Attorney Dorsey K. Offutt yes
terday asked Federal Judge
Charles Mclaughlin to toss out
of court the charge of criminal
contempt lodged against the
lawyer by Judge Alexander Holt
zof.
Judge Mclaughlin told Attor-
ney Warren Magee. acting for
Mr.. Offutt, he will hold a hearing
on the plea on April /.
Coupled with the motion for
dismissal was a demand for q
jury trial if the request is turned
down and a motion for a bill OF
particulars.
Judge Holtzoff cited Mr.. Offutt
in contempt and gave him 10
day Jail sentence for alleged mis-
conduct while Mr.. Offutt repre-
sented DR.. Henry L. Peckham, jr.,
in an abortion case.
Defends vigorous Defense"
In a general denial Of the con-
tempt charge, Mr.. Offutt con-
tended his client was entitled to
fearless, vigorous and effective
assistance by counsel" He main
tanned his conduct during trial
amounted to no more than "a
vigorous defense of the accused"
Mr.. Offutt was accused orig
inally of being contemptuous on
IL separate counts. He carried
his case to the United States
Court of Appeals. The Appellate
Court set aside the conviction OF
DR.. Peckham and tossed out eight
of the original IL contempt
counts.
The upper court allowed the
remaining four contempt counts
to stand and reduced MIR. Offutt's
sentence from 10 days to AZ hours
in jail.
Goes to Supreme Court
The lawyer then went to the
Supreme Court. The high court,
in a caustic opinion written by
Justice Frankfurter, verbally
classified Judge Holtzof and sent
the case back to the District
Court for retrial on the four
counts not set aside.
The four counts alleged Mr..
Offutt was "insolent, insulting
and made offensive remarks;
that he persisted in repeating
questions previously excluded by
Judge Holtzoff: that he asked
prejudicial questions Of witnesses
and that he constantly tried to
create an episode that might lead
to a mistrial."

Virginia County Fails
To Act on Funds

NOTTOAWAY. Va. June q
IR.-The Board of Supervisors
Iof Nottoway County took no ac-
Ition yesterday on the question
Iof whether or not to appropriate
funds to operate the PUBLIC
schools during the 1886 seS-
sion.
The failure to take action in
dicated that the board has de-
cided to hang on to the money
until some of the questions con-
cerning segregation are cleared
|up by State guidance. Usually
the school funds are appropri-
lated in lump sum prior to
July l.
On May 81, the deadline for
laying the levy for fiscal 1955-5e,
the Nottoway supervisors voted
to continue the present unit tax
of $3.50. They appropriated pro-
ceeds from SO cents of the tax,
which is the minimum permit
ted by State law, to the schools.

The English, who apparently
never run out of exportable
slap-stick comics, send the Col
ony ttheater) another in 'Trou-
BILE in Store. which opened yes
terday.
,, This ones name Is Norman
Wisdom. He is a favorite Of Eng
lish audiences, not at all mys-
teriously. Wisdom, a remodeled
musical comedy star. puts a lot
of unabashed vigor into his por-
trait of a boob employed in the
stockroom of a neurotic depart
ment store. He might be de-
scribed as a one-man Martin and
Lewis save that any idiot would
know. that it takes two unique
comedians to be Martin and
Lewis.
Trouble in Store" is a farce
which certainly goes to show the
British are not exclusively droll
and subtly nonsensical when
they feel they should be laugh
able. It Is so physical that the
question occasionally arises
whether the cast will get through
! it UNNAMED by its own reck-
lessness.
It is thoroughly tried material
that so violently activates the
Colony farce. 1t provides Wis
dom the chance to initiate one
of those brainless worms whose
turnings play havoc with the life
around them. This is a lot OF
havoc with a lot of lives in a
department store set-up.
Wisdom's principal victims in
clude such as naughty store
manager, hundreds Of customers,
the store detective, a wide-eyed
girl who works in popular rec
ords. and q clever criminal gang
which decides to make of with
the total receipts on the day of
a big sale. His relations with
each of these in turn show no
particular fresh inspiration on
! the part Of the writer's. but they
do manage to keep the film mov-
ing full clip.
While its new star never has
an idle moment in Trouble in
Store" he might well have been
given o breather when Margaret
Rutherford is around. She does a
couple of brief bits as a shop
litter which show that this rep
rehensible form of provisioning
oneself can be a real comedy art.
It Is a huge cast which helps
demolish the store which pro-
vides the farce's setting. Few
players in recent movies seem
to be enjoying themselves so
thoroughly.
