Good Morning Judge
News from Miami's Municipal Precinct Court
JUDGE JOHN o. JOHNSON, PRESIDING
BY ELLIOTT J. PIEzE. Times Staff Writer

A total of SO cases was listed
for trial in Municipal Court Mon
day morning.
The case of Mrs. Alice Clark,
of 1919 NV 4th ave., who was
charged with assault with knife
on Mrs. Anna Bradford, of 10I7
NV 4th ave., drew much -atten-
ton. The two women are neigh
bors, and appear to be middle
aged, well meaning women, who
would hardly be found in a trial
of this kind.
Mrs. Bradford told the court
that she and Mrs. Clark had been
friends for a long time, but that
recetly an argument occurred be-
tween the two, and during the
argument, Mrs. Clark used some
strong words to her. After every
thing, seemingly had been settled,
Mrs. Bradford continued, Mrs.
Clark approached her on Oct. 3
and threatened 30 cut her. The
police were called and Mrs. Clark
was arrested.
Mrs. Clark denied pulling a
knife ON Mrs. Bradford, and add
ed the that on a previous occa-
sion, Mrs. Bradford threw a pot
of peas at her in a fit of anger.
There were charges and counter
charges by the two women, and
Mrs. Bradford made things a little
worse by telling the court that on
one occasion Mrs. Clark had sent
another women to her home to
look for the other woman'S hus-
band, where Mrs. Clark had ap-
parently told the other woman
her husband was. But the husband
was not there. Judge Johnson
reprimanded both women for be-
ing in court on such a matter and
fined Mrs. Clark $50 or 20 days.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Rudolph Marks, charged with
diSorderly conduct, sleeping on
private property, fined SIS or six
days.

BY DANIEL M. herman

Former Senator Harry p. Cain,
in one of his last acts as a Gov
eminent official, recommended on
Friday that the Washington (State)
Pension Union be ordered to reg
lister as Communist front.
While he was making that de-
cision as a member of the Sub
versive Activities Control Board,
Mr.. Cain was racked with doubt
about the wiSdom--or even con-
stitutionality-of the, law he was
administering. Now the long period
of mental anguish is over and he
has made up his mind: the Inter
nal Security Act of 1850 should
be scrapped.
In private conversations. Mr..
Cain has revealed details of his
"agonizing reappraisal" of the
law, generally known as the Nc
Carran Act, under which the
Board was set up. Now private
citizen after four years in the
Senate and three years as a mem
Der of the SACB, he has decided
to strike out hard within the next
few weeks against the law which
created the position he held until
yesterday.
MI. Cain thinks that the In
ternal Security Act is a radical
departure from the American prin-
ciple that government cannot in
terfere with free speech. He feels
that it makes people hesitate to
speak frankly or to join any or
ganization, for fear that the Gov
eminent some day will label it
subversive.
He finds the act Objectionable in
several other ways:
. He feels it makes members of
prescribed organizations second
class citizens" and deprives them of
the rights to Government employ
ment, travel abroad and jobs in de-
tense industries.
. He feels it def1es the Fifth
Amendment by requiring members
of designated groups to brand them
selves with label which will cost
them their reputation and maybe
their freedom.
. He feels it makes it almost i'm
