Judge CockriII Bars Press
AtSecond Paternity TrioI

Juvenile Court Judge Edith
H. Cockrill. following an opinion
in the United States Court Of
Appeals. barred reporters yester-
day from covering q paternity
trial.
The action was the latest
move in a round Of court battles
brought by q S5-year-old nut
and bolt salesman Of the 1900
block Of Massachusetts, avenue
NV.
He has been lighting allega-
tons by a former Navy DEPART
ment employee and officers club
hostess that he is the father Of
her child born out Of wedlock.
The appellate court on Novem-
Der Is. 1856, in an unsigned
opinion by Judges David L.
Bazelon. Charles Fahy and War
rem E. Burger, ruled Judge
Cockrill erred in refusing to bar
the press from the hearing when
it first came before her on
February IS, 1856.
During presentation Of de-
Tense evidence at that time his
lawyer. Carl Shipley, asked that
q reporter be ordered out Of the
courtroom. Judge Cockrill re-
fused the motion.
Request Ruled "Untimely"
The salesman carried his case
to the Municipal Court of APP
peals. There Judge Cockrill was
upheld. Judge Leo A. Rover held
the request for exclusion Of the
press was "untimely" in that 1t
was not made at the outset of
trial. He said the appellate court
felt the privilege had been waived
unless it was asserted at the
opening Of the hearing.
Under the so-called. Bastardy
Act. the judge In a paternity
case may exclude the general
public and shall do so under the
request Of either party"
The U. S. Court Of Appeals
said nothing in the statute ''war-
rants the conclusion" the request
must be made at the beginning
of trial.
No Alternative. She Says
Judge Rover had declared,
sWe feel that the orderly adj
ministration Of justice requires
that the pattern of a case In
this connection be fixed at the
outset"

A curious air Of unreality
hangs about the political
minuet which Is taking place
in Washington.
The actors are the same:
the steps and the tunes are
familiar. The demand for
leadership resounds and the
cry for bipartisanship in for
eign policy Is heard. Congress
sional leaders Of both parties
confer at the White House.
The optimistic medical hulle-
tins from Press Secretary
James s. Hagerty pour forth
with smiling pictures Of the
President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover.
The difference from the re-
cent past Is that nobody In
ofncial circles really accepts
the pretense that al win soon
be well. Experience suggests
