Judicial Abuse

Newspapers may not and should not
publish anything which would deprive
person Of fair trial Subject to this
general reservation, however, the busi-
ness OF the courts is the public's busi-
ness, and newspapers, we think, have
both right and a responsibility to keep
the public informed.
A majority Of the Federal Judges in
the Eastern District Of Michigan seem
to have adopted different view. They
have approved rule, under the "inher-
ent power" of the court, which, for prac-
tical purposes, forbids publication of
news OF civil suits at the request of the
lawyers involved.
The Detroit papers, and in particu-
lar the Detroit News, are trying to force
test OF the legality of this rule and
are seeking an appellate decision on it,
They are fully justified, we believe, in
doing so. For while the extent of the
inherent power of a court may be
clothed in some uncertainty, it undoubt-
edly is power that is susceptible of
abuse. And in this instance we think
1t is being abused

The Christmas PAGEANT

The evening has arrived for all the
feverish activity of the week before
Christmas to come to halt while the
family attends the PTA Christmas pro-
gram The auditorium is crowded and
very hot. There is a great deal of noise,
back stage and out front, and the pro-
gram is late in starting. But hark! The
piano sounds, the curtains part, and
there are the first-graders, set to sing.
With some prompting from the wings
they make an uncertain beginning to
Silent Night" The evening advances
slowly to the featured attraction: The
Nativity Pageant.
The boy and girl with the clearest
voices have been chosen to stand at the
side Of the stage and take turns read
ing from the Gospels of Christmas while
their classmates enact appropriate
scenes. The neighborhood 12-year-old
wiseacre is tonight'S First Wise Man.
He is wearing his fathers dressing gown
and striped towei. He is carrying a
face-cream jar, painted gold, and is very
solemn. The Second Wise Man has new
basketball shoes which show up when
he raises his trailing robes. The shep-
herds arrive, one holding a toy lamb.
They are dressed in beach coats over
shorts and one causes a near accident
by stepping on the robe of the Third
Wise Man. But the scene is now set
for the arrival of Mary and Joseph and
they enter on cue. Mary is considerably
taller than Joseph and she is having
trouble keeping the blue bed sheet
pinned to her short hair The principals
group themselves at the side of the crib
and the girl next door, dressed as an
angel, steps into the light behind them
to say: GLORY to God in the Highest
and on Earth Peace to Men of Good
WILL" The audience is very quiet now.
They stand and join in the singing Of
"Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" and,
all at once, we feel like Christmas.

Hoping to Hear

1t is hardly surprising that there
are signs of eStleSsneSS-almost an
eagerneSS to jump the starters signal
among the potential Democratic presi-
Dental candidates. Each, in his way,
has been "in training" for long time,
and the urge to display an impressive
amount of early foot" is an under
Standable one-even if questioned by
sophisticated political Strategists.
Except for Adlai Stevenson, whose
experience probably accounts for his
current tranquility, the one who has
been training longest and most inten-
Sively is the youthful Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts,. Mr. Kennedy has
tried the track, from one end of the
country to the other-EaSt and West,
North and South. Narrowly missing a
bid for second place on the ticket in
1856, Mr.. Kennedy has been busily
available" ever Since-viSiting not only
4S but so States in the intervening
years and talking to party leaders at
virtually every level Allowing for slight
ups and downs in public reaction, the
Massachusetts Senator has been gener-
ally considered the front-runner for
months past.
Whatever the state of his own pa
tience, or lack of it, Senator Kennedys
oftice Staff apparently has brought It
self to fine edge of being ready for
anything. 1t has, for example, drafted
a series of letters covering all possible
eventualities concerning the Senator's
decision" Translated this presumably
means there are letters ready for the
Senator's signature announcing: Q)
that he is a candidate, (2) that he is
not candidate, (S, 4, and so on) some
thing else. One sample, published pre-
maturely, states that he will announce
MS candidacy on January g. Reportedly
addressed (but not signed) to key party
members around the country, the letter
is quoted as saying, II believe can win.
-. will welcome your support.
Hoping to hear from you"
There is nothing wrong or unsports-
manllke, OF course, in Senator Kennedy's
once having something ready for the
boss to sign. 1t would, perhaps, be re-
miss IL 1t did not do So-and presenting
several choices is merely a mark of ONCE
emciency. Mr.. Kennedy may write a
orand-new letter, and it may bear a
different date, but the first presidential
primary will be held soon in the Sena-
tors own New England region-in New
Hampshire on March 8. So If not on
January 2, it certainly will not be long
before Mr.. Kennedy's office knows which
letter to releaSe-properly signed.

Something to Crow About

Having tasted defeat so many times
in recent congressional elections, the
Republicans are squeezing the last ounce
Of satisfaction out of their recapture
of an Iowa congressional seat. The vic
tory Of John Kyl, Bloomfield merchant,
over Democrat C. Edwin Gilmour by
some $500 votes was the more note
worthy because only little more than
. year ago Mr.. XVI lost his first bid
for the seat by margin of more than
5000 votes The winner then was the
late Democratic Representative Steven
Carter, whose place Mr.. XVI now will
take
Doing what comes naturally, Re
publican National Chairman Thruston
Morton has hailed the Kyl triumph as
an indication of G. o. P. reSurgence from
the Setbacks of the 1858 congressional
elections. He said the result in Iowa
was "a splendid tribute to President
Eisenhower and his policies" To some
extent, this is true. Mr.. Kyl stressed
the Eisenhower peace with freedom"
theme during the campaign, Just as it
surely will be emphasized by the Re-
publicanS in the 1860 presidential elec-
tion.
1. But not to be overlooked is the fact
that Mr.. Kyl did not indorse all of the
Eisenhower policies. He was almost as
critical of the administrations farm
Program in general and of Secretary of
Agriculture Benson in particular as was
his Democratic opponent. He promised
to call conference OF farm leaders to
map a new positive program" based
on good old-fashioned farmer inge-
11uity."
e.. 1t is fairly safe bet that if Mr..
Kyl had Fundamentally Endorsed the
Benson farm policies he would now be
sending congratulations to Mr.. Gilmour.
For the plain indications are that in
the Farm Belt Mr.. Benson and his pro-
sram-however right they may be-will
be Democratic asset in 1860 And the
worries of the COP. Strategists have
not been eaSed by the durable and de-
termined Mr.. BenSons announcement
that he has no intention of resigning.

Make Them Pay

A legislative commission studvinc
the illegitimacy problem in Virginia has
MADE recommendation that is sensible
and in line with laws in many other
States. The commission wants the Gen
eral Assembly to pass legislation reuuir
Ing the father of an illegitimate child to
contribute to its support and education.
While the Assembly in the past has
backed away from birth-control and
other drastic measures, it should find
the moderate proposal of the advisory
group reasonable and, as the report
put it, effective as deterrent "in some
situations"
The commission, cognizant of legis-
lative reluctance to adopt any plan
criticized as unconstitutional, included
in its proposal many legal safeguards
for individual rights. The plan, the
commission said, assures the defendant
of careful, private judicial review and
process, provides for trial by jury at the
defendants request, protects the rights
Of descent and inheritance, places a
maximum of $500 per month on support,
limits the time that the mother NAV
bring action and makes her subject to
perjury for false accusation" Most of
these points had been raised against
previous measures dealing with illegiti-
macy
The urgency of Virginia's problem
of births out of weulock is attested by
the fact that last year the State recorded
$3.50 illegitimate Negro birthS-approx-
imately % per cent of all Negro births
and 1888 white birthS-or "a per cent of
all white births. A paternity law that
would make fathers of these unfortunate
children financially responsible for their
food, lodging and education is obviously
desirable.

On Making Ends Meet

My head is bowed with
shame. I admit / am guilty as

700 to 1000 per cent. I blush
as I acknowledge that my in
come is inadequate to cover
the cost of many other items
designed to give spiraling
profits to those who sell
them.
1t may comfort poor Mr..
Brown to realize that many
of us who live on these in
adequate incomes are also
unable to afford meats so
cieverly packaged by the
great food chains that the
extra pounds Of suet, gristle
and bone are completely
hidden from our view. AS we
throw away this waste we
shall be comforting ourselves
with the thought that, in
adequate as our incomes are,
we are helping the chain
stores to make a nice profit.
This will assuage in a meas

about our inadequate in

den to bear. No wonder Mr..
Brown is so bitter about us.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

an era of very long novels,
so they seem, but actually,
they are not much longer
than those of the great
Charles, and really not as
interesting.
Above all, in the older
works, there are no words to
bring the blush of shame as
they put it once upon a time,
which is to laugh, according
to the modern outlook. but
one may wonder if it is!
The libraries, my dear
EStelle, are filled with mar
velous stories.
Perhaps they are gather
ing dust there, who knows,
but they are good narratives.
devised in a day when the
plot was the thing.
Everything dovetailed with
everything else, and there
was something very satisfy
ing about it. we think.
Today's whopper is just an
onruSh of words, page after
page, stream of conscious
ness stuff. so that after it is
all over you wonder what it
was all about.
The reader never has to
wonder what Jane Austen's
stories are about. She has a
theme, she has characters.
and she has life in a special
way all her own.
Few writer's today, even the
most famous, make their own
world. Their pride, in fact,
is in writing everybody else's
world, so that they will have
many readers. This is one
way OF doing it. But a better
way is to build your own
world, and then invite others
to come in.
This was what Jane Austen
did, to the eternal satisfac-
ton of the knowing. One is
quite free in her stories from
the unsavory word. She, too,
undoubtedly had heard some
of these words, but she found
no necessity for introducing
them in her stories.
The fact that so many writ
ters today offer us vulgar
words as part of their show
ought to warn us to stay
away.
There are other shows, es-
pecially in the fiction field,
and we can turn to them at
all times, because they are
timeleSs.

Formosa or the Republic of

These are some of the

Senator Bush left the Far

convinced, however, that

Sales Tox Vicious

Virginia Gov. j. Lindsay
Almond wants a sales tax.
The long-suffering taxpayers
should ask why. And If good
sense tells him that it is not
a need for additional reve-
nues but a scheme for build
ing up a political organiza-
ton with a horde Of new
job holders as the nucleus,
then the taxpayer should
oppose the proposal with all
his strength.
The effect Of such an i'm
post would be highly detri-
mental. The large shopping
centers such as Seven Cor
ners. Parkington and others
are visited by thousands of
District and Maryland resi-
dents each week. Their only
purpose there is the avoid
ance Of sales taxes in their
own communities. These, to-
gether with the money they
spend. would Immediately dis
appear from Northern Vir-
ginia.
The sales tax is vicious in
that it is collected in small
amounts that disguise the
total; it is easily increased.
AS the withholding tax has
made possible the raising of
income taxes to unconscion-
able heights, a sales tax will
also rob the poor by delud-
ing them.
One very large organiza-
ton has recently decided
against moving its whole
operation into Northern Vir-
ginia because present taxa
ton makes this too costly.
What then will happen to
the hoped-for influx of
business If still another tax
is added?
With the Federal Govern
ment at the end Of its fiscal
rope and most States on
the verge of bankruptcy. it
seems to me that we in Vir-
ginia should more than ever
appreciate the policies Of
Senator Byrd that have kept
Virginia solvent.
Unless our constitution is
amended to repeal the State
income tax and personal
property taxes, every Vir-
ginia taxpayer should vio-
lently oppose Gov. Almonds
attempt to build a political
organization on the misery
Of the poor who will pay the
same rate as the rich.
