U.S. Press Scolded
For Way of Playing
Sensational Crimes
Washington (U.R) For the
second time in a year the Amer
ican press has been scolded by a
Supreme Court Justice for its
handling of sensational crime
news.
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.
Further Military
Cuts Difficult
Washington (U.R) House
economy forces ran into trouble
finding places to cut next year's
military spending.
They said they were satisfied
that a $46,680,000,000 defense
bill up for amendment in the
House Tuesday contained plenty
of "water" possibly as much as
$1,500,000,000 worth. 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.
