Bar Group May ReIox
Stand on Court Pictures

DALLAS. Aug. 81 (R.-The
American Bar Association may
relax its longtime stand against
picture taking and radio-TV
broadcasting in courtrooms. an
official of the association said
yesterday.
Richard P. Tinkham, chair
man of the associations public
relations committee, said in an
interview that a special commit
tee on canons of ethics of the
American Bar Foundation is
studying the problem and is ex-
pected to issue a report at the
next anual meeting of the ABA.
Mr.. Tinkham is a delegate to
the bar associations annual
meeting which ends today.
In the report, Mr.. Tinkham
said. the committee may recon-
mend the deletion from Canon
35 Of the phrases that pho
Biography and broadcasting in
court tends to distract the wit
ness" and degrade the court f. j
and should not be permitted"
Wording Change
There is some indication, he
said. that even though an OK
won't be given to photography
and hroadcasting from court
rooms. there may be a deletion
of the word distract and de-
grade"
Removal or change in the de
grade" and distract" phrase
would not automatically throw
open the courts to photographers
and radio-TV. But it should help
relax somewhat the bar associa-
tion's historic strong stand
against the practice, he said.
In a speech before the House
of Delegates, the policy-making
body of the association. Mr.
Tinkman asked for patience on
the part of the press and at
torneys.
Joseph A. Mcdonald of New
York, treasurer Of the NationalI
Broadcasting Co., urged mem
bers of the American Law Stu
dents Association to keep an open
mind on the subject.
He said that before long tele-
vision would be generally ac-
cepted as the normal counter
part Of. and improvement upon,
today's good newspaper and news
magazine coverage of important
proceedings"

He was informed he could re-
quest a field board hearing, rebut
the charges by letter or accept
an Army discharge, the type of
which to be determined later.
Mr.. Abramowitz, in a letter of
"rebuttal," said the Army's ac-
ton was illegal in that the
charges related solely to activi-
ties before induction. An unde-
sirable discharge subsequently
was given.
Attorneys Victor Rabinowitz
and David Rein yesterday argued
Mr.. Abramowitz'S Constitutional
rights we're violated by stigma

termed "a badge of infamy" for
activities having no connection
with his period of service.

Mr.. Abramowitz had been hon.

told him they had information
that, during years before his in

been a member Of the Commu-

the trial, estimated to be about

The court said evidence proved

lin. 1t said he did so presumably
in a state Of psychic confusion, I"

The court said it must be as
sumed John originally planned
to return to the West immedi-
ately after visiting East Berlin
because he left no farewell note
to his wife. and possibly the
Reds subjected him to some
pressure" to stay.
But never were these pres
sures of a degree producing a
threat to his life." the court
said. Therefore he is fully re-
sponsible for what happened in
the East"
Specifically. John was con-
victed on charges of Unreasonable
Justification" and Unreasonable
conspiracy"
These grew out of propaganda
statements he made in the East
that secret clauses existed in the
European defense treaty then
under debate. He also alleged
that West German intelligence
organization was active in
France.

East Germans
Rip Red Statue

BERLIN, Dec. % R.-Re-
bellious elements in Communist
East Germany twice recently de-
molished a memorial to a Com
munist leader. an East German
newspaper reported today.
The memorial was to Ernst
Thaelmann. a Communist leader
during Germany's turbulent
1920s. Located in Neuzelle near
Potsdam, the memorial was
topped by a bust of Thaelmann,
and the Maerkische Union re-
ported that both times the bust
wound up in a nearby pond.
The newspaper blamed the in
cident on "rowdies."
The incident was another in
dication of the nti-Communist
and anti-Soviet sentiment that
is finding almost daily expression
in East Germany, especially in
the universities.
The Maerkische Union limited
that the damaged memorial has
considerably annoyed the local
Communist officials.
