Lending Firm Fails
To Halt Sign Carrier

A downtown lending institu-
ton has gone to court to try to
stop Mrs. Kathleen Joy Chai-
mas from walking in front OF
its building with her basket OF
roses and her uncomplimen-
tary placards.
The firm, Bankers Mortgage
Co., 722 Eleventh street NV,
probably doesn't mind the roses
But it minds the placards SO
much that it has asked for an
injunction and 100000 in dam
ages.
Behind the injunction suit
are two real estate loans which
Mrs. Chaimas claims involve
excessive interest rates. TIL e
lending firm feels Mrs. Chat
mas placardS give a false, IL
belous view.
The lending firm, in its suit,
stated that one placard said:
Citizens all unite under law
Fight the bunny trusts. Who's
afraid Of Bankers Mortgage
Co? Who's afraid of the gang
ster's cartel?"
The firm said Mrs. Chaimas
appeared outside its offices on
August 16 with the placards
She returned, the firm said, on
August 10 with a sandwich sign
with "defamatory" statements.
Literature Denied
But Mrs. Chaimas told q
somewhat different story yes
terday before United States
District Court Judge Leonard
P. Walsh. She denied passing
out literature and said she had
never worn a sandwich sign.
II was not passing out litera

ture," she said. 1T was a very
good idea, but I had no litera-
ture to distribute. I did pass
out roses :. people would stop
to talk and then I would give
them a rose.
II had some visual aids that
said what has been indicated,
The police said peaceful picket
ing is within my civil rights
so I just moved quietly about
. very close to what is called
public parking"
Mrs. Chaimas said the only
pieces of literature that left
her hands were borrowed by
employees Of Bankers Mortgage.
Sometimes they came back,
and sometimes they didn't" she
told the judge.
No Injunction ISSeud
Attorney Alfred Fried, VIII O
represented the lending firm,
told the judge that Mrs. Chai-
mas actions went way be-
yond" what the law allows.
Free speech doesn't include
right to libel and SANDER" he
said.
Judge Walsh indicated that
he thought the case may in
volve the rights of assembly
and free speech. He deferred
decision on the Injunction re-
quest to allow Mr.. Fried to sub
NIT a brief on these aspects.
Meanwhile, the Judge told
Mrs. Chaimas, listed at 1888
Kilbourne place NV, there
would be no injunction issued
to prevent her from continu-
ing her activities in front of
Bankers Mortgage.

was granted an $500 appeal
bond to give him time to APP
peal the sentence.
In a second charge against
Mr.. Bergman. Judge Reeves set
a 5000 fine or a 90-day Jail
sentence. In this case he was
charged with not complying
with District coming regulations
at a property in the l700 block
Of Euclid street NV.
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Paul Shiffman said Mr..
Bergman, who owns several
properties In the District, has
