Justice Felix Frankfurter ad ministered the latest rebuke Monday in the case of Fred Stroble, elderly Los Angeles resi dent whose murder conviction the court upheld 6 to 3. Frank furter and Justices William O. Douglas and Hugo L. Black dis sented. Faces Execution Stroble was convicted of the sex killing of Linda Joyce GIu coft, 6, a neighbor's child, on Nov. 14, 1949. He now faces exe cution. The circumstances of the crime created widespread pub lic excitement at the time. Frankfurter took issue with the California Supreme Court's ruling that press coverage is "an inevitable ingredient of Ameri can criminal justice." "To have the prosecutor him self feed the press with evidence that no self-restrained press ought to publish in anticipation of a trial, is to make the state itself ... a conscious participant in trial by newspaper, instead of by those methods which centur ies of experience have shown to be indispensable to the fair ad ministration of justice,'' Frank furter said. Case of Negroes Cited A year ago almost to the day Justice Robert H. Jackson was upbraiding the press for pre judging the guilt of two Florida Negroes charged with rape. The Court Monday set aside the contempt convictions of two more witnesses who refused to answer questions on grounds of possible self-incrimination. The court cited previous decisions which clarified the Constitution's guarantee that a witness can not be compelled to testify against himself.

But they said finding it all was proving difficult The bill, which carries funds for the Army, Navy and Air Force for the 12 months starting July 1, already had been trim med by the Appropriations com mittee $4,240,000,000 below President Truman's "rock bot tom" request, and administration leaders were battling to head off further reductions. ijilFT IDE I t I Creator of V LiSS "WM Shoulders" V h ' and .
