Four Policemen

Burglary Cases

BLUEFIELD, w. VA, June
IS (AP).-Four members Of the
Bluefield police force were ar
rested yesterday in connection
with a string of burglaries dat
ing back to 1855.
Mercer County Prosecutor
w. o. Bivens. Jr., said he plan
ned to arrest three more per-
sons in connection with the
case within 4S hours.
Capt. Charles Preston Crig-
ger, second in command, and a
l7-year veteran of the force,
was arrested and charged with
the $4,000 burglary of a Blue
field residence October 1860.

furter and White did not take
part In the decisions.
The magazines In question
were three publications beamed
at homosexuals.
The magazines, entitled
MANUAL" Trim" ana Gre
clan Guild Pictorial" were pub
lished in Washington by Her
man L Womack, who was con-
victed Of sending obscene ma
terial through the mail in an
earlier case and Is now in st.
Elizabeths Hospital.
Justice Harlan, writing the
majority opinion, said the Court
Of Appeals here was wrong in
considering that the test of
obscenity was whether the pub
lieations appealed to the "pru-
rent interest" Of the audience
which bought it.
Used Other Grounds
The court opinion said the
high court did not reach the
question Of whether its yard
stick Of 'prurient interest"
should apply to the average

ing has cast serious doubt
upon the power Of any State to
forbid the use of narcotics
under threat of criminal pun
ishment."
He added this parting shot:
II fail to see why the court
deems it more appropriate to
write into the Constitution its
own abstract notions Of how
best toN handle the narcotics
problem. for it obviously can
not match either the States or
Congress in expert under
standing"
The issue came before the
court in an appeal by Law
renee Robinson Of Los Angeles.
Robinson was arrested Feb
ruary 4, 1860 on a Los Angeles
street. Police testified he told
them he used narcotics, and
that his arms bore what ap-
atty Of 30 days to one year in
needed marks. A jury convicted
Robinson and State appellate
courts rejected contentious by
his attorneys that the statute
was invalid.
The statute provides a pen
atty Of 90 days ito one year in
the county, Jail. It also permits
a trial judge to put q convicted
person on probation for a pc
Rod not to exceed five years,
provided the person also is
confined in the county Jail for
80 days. Appeal papers said
Robinson was granted proba-
ton.
In q concurring opinion, JUS
tice Douglas said addiction, like
insanity, is a disease. He said
an addict must be treated as
q sick person. ~
In the District, the law pro-
vides for disqualification, not

member Of the community OF
the average homosexual" be-
cause 1t was reversing the case
on another ground.
The ground on which the
case was reversed was that the
magazines could not be deemed
legally obscene because they
are not patiently offensive.
The court held that in most
obScenity cases the material is
both patiently offensive and
appeals to "prurient interests, y
but In this case the measure
of patent offensiveness was
lacking.
Justice Clark Dissents
I'VE decline to attribute to
Congress any such quixotic and
deadening purpose as would
bar from the mails all material
not patiently offensive which
stimulates impure desires re-
lating to SEX" Justice Harlan
wrote.

Justice Frankfurter took no
part.
The California statute reads:
mo person shall use, or be
under the influence Of, or be
addicted to the use of narcotics,
except when administered By
or under the direction Of a per-
son licensed by the State to
prescribe and administer mar
cotics."
Unusual Punishment
Justice Stewart said the Cali
fornia law had to be put in
the same category as statutes
which inflicted cruel and un-
usual punishment.
I'VE hold that q State which
imprisons a person thus af-
flicted rs q criminal" said Jus
tice Stewart. even though he
had never touched any mar
cotic drug within the State or
been guilty Of any irregular
behavior there, inflicts q cruel
and unusual punishment in
violation Of the 14th Amend
ment."
Justice Stewart said the high
tribunal was not unmindful of
vicious evils Of the narcotics
traffic. but he commented that
there were countless fronts on
which those evils may be legiti-
mately attacked"
Departure From Rule
Justice Whites dissent said
the court had departed from
its wise rule of not deciding
constitutional questions except
where necessary and from its
equally sound practice Of con-
STRUNG State statutes, where
possible, In a manner saving

DINING OUT

We remember it well.

We remember it well.
AS q youngster of about 10
in Culpeper, Va. we had q
paper route and on Saturday
the day we collected - we
could hardly wait til we got to
our favorite subscriber, the 10
cal bakery.
OF course we never took
money. We always collected in
merchandise, more often than
not In hot, freshly baked
doughnuts. Sometimes it was
cream puffs and once in a
while q couple Of cherry tarts.
All week long it was q de-
light to take the paper into the
shop. Nothing smells better
than a bakery, and each day
brought Saturday closer.
Until this week, it had been
years since we'd thought of
that happy childhood expert
ence. Excellent bakery goods in
those late depression days were
delicacies. Few families could
afford them.
Then, q few days ago, we de-
cided to have dinner at Avig-
none Freres, one of the Dis
trict's leading catering bakery
restaurant enterprises. at 1777
Columbia road NV, and it all
came back. There was that
same wonderful aroma Of
freshly baked cookies and
breads, to say nothing Of cakes
and pies, only this time we
could stick around and enjoy
it while dining-out.
Much to our surprise, we dis
covered that Avignone Freres is
q veteran on the Washington
dining g-out scene, and is as
much q restaurant as 1t Is a
catering and bakery business,
If not more.
A visit to Avignone Freres
is for all the world like dining
