Atlanta Papers
Hit With New
$4,000 Fine

ATLANTA, April % (AP)-
Superior Judge Durwood T. Pye
today announced a new $4,000
contempt fine against Atlanta
Newspapers, Inc.
Attorneys for the firm, which
publishes he Journal and Con-
stitution, said they again will
go to the Georgia Court of Ap-
peals, which earlier ruled in
the papers favor in this case.
The contempt charge in
wolves publication of news stor-
les concerning a robbery trial
in Judge Pye's court. Judge Pye
found the papers guilty and
ordered a $4,000 fine.
An appeal was filed and the
Georgia Court of Appeals re-
versed Judge Pye's ruling. The
appellate court said publication
of the articles was not within
such geographical nearness as
to interfere with the admins
tration of justice, as Judge Pye
had contended.
The appellate court instruc-
ted that its decision be entered
as the judgment of the lower
court. But before the judgment
was entered, an amended con-
tempt citation was filed by the
solicitor generals Office.
The amendment contended
that the statute on which the
appeals court reversal was
based is invalid. The amend
ment also dealt with the geo.
graphical nearnes factor, not
ing that copies of the newspa-
pers were sold in and near the
courthouse.
Judge Pye, in a hearing
which lasted past Friday mid
night, ruled that the statute
is invalid, found the newspa-
pers guilty of contempt and
said he would sign an order
later assessing a $4,000 fine.

In Sprint Win

LEXINGTON, KY, April %
ZAP PD-Tompion's first Ken
lucky step toward the Derby
was taken in a champion s
stride by the So future-book
favorite. The next step, less
than a week away, may prove
much more difficult.
c. V. Whitney's colt, ridden
by Willie Shoemaker, proved
he's top Derby material yester-
day in downing seven other
Derby hopefuls, but his next
start in Thursdays Blue Grass
Stakes, probably will be against
tougher competition.
Included in the field he
whipped yesterday in the 7-fur-
long Forerunner Purse, his first
race in Kentucky, were such
stars as Victoria Park, Pied
dor, HillSborough and Bour-
bon Prince.
Those may we'll be back for
try at the $25, ,OOO-added Blue
Grass Stakes. And to make
things worse for Tompion,
Weatherwise and Venetian Way
are likely starters, too.
Won at 6 FurIOngs
Greentree Stable announced
some time ago it would skip
the Forerunner for the Blue
Grass as WeatherwiSe'S next
start. The colt showed bril-
liant stretch steam in winning
a 6-furlong event here re-
Gently.
Venetian Way, who worked
a furlongs in 1:24 yesterday,
also is eligible for the mile
and-an-eighth Blue Grass,
considered a major Derby prep.
Tompion's victory in the
Forerunner was a slow press
that began early in the back
stretch and continued right to
the wire. A bit slow at the
start, he wore down the entire
field and finished a length and
a half in front of Victoria
Park. Pied dor was third.
Was the FavOrite
Timed in a fleet 1:2145,
Tompion paid favorite,s odds
of $40, $3.50 and 1920. Wind
field Farms Victoria Park paid
$3.50 and 1920 and Calumet's
Pied dor, coupled with Hills
borough, returned $2.20.
Behind the first three, in Or
der, were Bourbon Prince, Hills
borough, Lurullah, Tony Graft
and Ell Tag.
Victoria Park, for a time ap-
pearing a possible winner. con-
tinued another eighth of a mile
after the finish and was timed
in 1;35 fiat.
The Forerunner, run for a
$500 pot, has more than
enough background for an
Overnight race. Tony Lee, Tim
Tam and Iron Liege, the last
three Derby winners, were all
winners in this race, though it
was called by a different name
Tony Lee, in winning the
race last year, set the track
record of 1;22 which Tompion
almost equaled.
Tompion and Tony Graft
carried l22 pounds apiece, four
pounds under the Derby weight.
