Falmouth, Mass.
Dear Mr.. East:
I usually enjoy all of your
paper. Let me make it clear that
I do not enjoy the prejudice,
violence, and murder that you
discuss, but l enjoy the fact that
somebody else feels as / do.
l did not enjoy, however, Mr..
Aubrey Williams article con-
corning freedom of the press. |
am not a logican, but it appear
ed to me that Mr.. Williams article
was not filled with the logic |
used to see, or thought saw, in
my Plane Geometry course in
high school in 1886.
As Mr.. Aubrey Williams well
knows, there is nothing to pre-
vent any city, or other govern
mental body, or person, or cor
poration, from suing anybody
about anything. Anyone with the
price usually about 5000 can
file suit against anything or any
body. Winning the suit, or pre-
venting the suits being thrown
out in Motions Court is another
matter. If the New York Times
stated that ''it is gripped by racial
hatred and fear", and this is not
true, there is very little likeli-
hood that the New York Times
will be required to pay the City
of Birmingham S1,500,000.00 II
the New York Times made state
ments about actual events that
are demonstrably not true, then
the New York Times may or may
not be in trouble, depending on
whether or not a jury (the venue
is important here), composed of
the New York Times peers, de
termines that the City Of Birm-
ingham has been damaged by
false or incorrect statements
about actual occurances.
Things are not as bad as Mr..
Williams would have us believe.
If all the New Times said was
that the XXX marched, and a
man identified himself as a white
candidate, or Negroes expressed
fear, and these phenomena are
true, then the Times has little
to fear. I depend on the New
York Times for impartial infor-
nation, and I am generally salts
fled. | have heard, however, from
other reliable sources, that some
of the statements made by the
New York Times in the subject
series of articles, were not accu-
rate, or were distorted. If this Is
true, then the New York Times
may be in a certain amount OF
trouble; trouble which it will
have brought on itself.
Freedom of the Press" is not
a license to shout Fire" in
crowded theatre, unless and until
there is a fire. 1t is not permission
to SANDER loops, mean libeD a
citizen, however notorious, and
then refuse, as a female reporter
refused, to reveal the source OF
the libel, so that the source could
be called to account. She received
a 10 day sentence, and number
of papers denounced the loss OF
Freedom of the Press" None OF
them reflected on the loss OF
peace of mind of the person
slandered and libeled, and his
utter lack of ability to defend
his name because this Fourth
Estate 'lady" refused to reveal
the source of the venom. The
man slandered (by the person
who told the newspaper woman,
and then libeled in her gossip
column had a family, and the
duty to earn money to feed them
and he had a Constitutionally
guaranteed right to enjoy Life
Liberty, and the Pursuit Of Hap
piness," free of false statement:

years" by two game biologists.

help. Looks like a good year

BAY
FISHING
80 nA

Tuesday, September 6, Kenny
Clark and Walt Coback, both of
Silver Spring, made the first of
their fall trolling trips. If the
rest of their trips are as pro.
ductive as this first one, l am
sure they will be happy.
We started out running down
the west shore in search of the
schools of rock that have been
showing in this area off and on
all summer. We found no sign
of fish by the time we had
reached Parkers Creek so we
left this shore and went across
the Bay. We tried off James
Island, The Gooses, the Little
Chop Tank, Hills Point and
around Sharps Island. AT noon,
after all of our travels, we had
one small rock in the box. We
then went back to the western
shore and there they were. Just
below Dare's Beach the rock
were tearing 1t up. They broke
on this shore all evening and
we collected 113 fish. Most of
them rock, a few blues, an one
trout. We caught all of our
fish on small bucktails, fished
deep on wire lines. Bert lambs,
pinky, and eight ball were hot.
Thursday, September 8, we
had nothing booked so Captain
Manford Phillips, whose "Smok.
ey Joe" was also idle and l de-
cided to try something differ

Last year Capt. Phillips boated

at least a dozen more at a spot

long story short, we never had

Big St. Stephens
Faces TroiCns

Gaithersburg High School
opened its season with a 1870
win over Severna Park last
week but will have a tough
er time trying the same
trick against st. Stephens at
the Agriculture Center Fri
day night at 8 pm.
The Saints, a power among
the small private schools, lost
only one player through grad
uation last season from the
squad which beat the Trojans
by a narrow margin last season
and Coach John Harvill reports
that a transfer student has TAX
EN- up the slack left by the one
graduating halfback.
st. Stephens is big, and well
coached by Sleepy Thompson, a
long time friend of Harvill's.
The Saints run from a split-T
formation and feature the break
away running of Marty Baum
berger and the passing of quar-
terback Richie Richardson.
1t was the defensive work of
the Trojans, the running of
halfback Jackie Holland and the
punting of Frank Rinehart
which drew the praise of Har-
will after the Severna victory.
Rinehart's 53-yard quick kick
put the ball on the Severna Z
early in the game and the hard
charging defense kept them
deep in their own territory most
of the game. Another 40 yard
boot to the Severna 10 served
the same purpose later in the
game.
Across the defensive align.
ment Gaithersburg has Melvin
Nichols, Lloyd Shoemaker, Car
rol Jordan, Ted Kirk, Carl Ay-
ton, L. c. McCutcheion, Chick
Kilby and Ronnie Watkins. Kirk
and Ayton each blocked a punt.

If Northwood is to make it's

thia season, it will have to start
Saturday against Oxon Hill. The
game is scheduled for Oxon

The Indians were beaten thor
oughly by Blair, AT, but Coach
Bob Foster was cheered by
what happened after the game
then what happened during it.
After the game the boys
called their own squad meeting
to discuss what they did wrong,
and what they won't do against

"We're shooting for four wins
this season, where they'll come
from l don't know, but we'll
shoot for four, he said. Foster
said the squad had looked good
against Bladensburg, and had
done extremely well' against
Northwestern in scrimmages,
but seemed to tighten up
against Blair.
Randy Lions, senior quarter.
back, is the only experienced
backfield man. Northwood has
flock of lettermen back, but
Foster discounts this experience
due to the lopsided scores in
many games where everybody
played.
Returning in the backfield are

Burell, Jack Kimball, Mike Sim

Mrs. Mary O'brien, Mrs. Ruth
Hodgson, Laura and Ray Hodg-

Carl Borchers of Wheaton, and
Jerry and Ralph Tana of north
west d. c., made up this fine
group. We started off slow and
then began to catch some nice
jumbo spot and a few trout.
We never really did fill the tub
but we caught enough to keep
everyone happy.
Bottom fishing the last two
weeks has really fallen off. The
spot are big but they don't want
to bite. We are catching more
trout now but they blow hot
and cold. Trolling is still the
best bet. We don't have the big
rock fish yet but there are plen-
ty of fish up to two pounds and
they are not shy about hitting.
