Judge Can Use Contempt To Control Courtroom Effective performance of the judicial function involves certain apparent conflicts with the principle of free speech. Obviously, there is no right of free speech in a courtroom during a trial. A spectator who attempted to make a speech would be in terfering with the conduct of the trial. Even the partici pants in the trial-jurors, coun sel, defendants - may speak only in conformity with the rules and traditions of the court. To make his control over the proceedings effec tive, the presiding judge has the power to hold persons in contompt of court, and pun ish by fine or imprisonment anyone in the courtroom who interferes with the conduct of a trial. Lawyer Fined The mase. of Fisher v. Pace 1949 involved an episode in a Texas court. A lawyer who refused to subside on orders from the judge and was fined $25 on the spot, and $50 as he kept on talking and finally $100 and three days in jail as he Ignored the judge's me." This summary procedure by the trial judge was upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court. The celebrated case of Sa cher v. United Slates (1952) warning not to "mess with Involved the contempt of court sentences passed on the lawyers for the defendants in the prosecution of eleven Communist Party leaders who were convicted for engaging in activities designed to over throw the United Stales gov ernment. The trial lasted nine months and was one of the most hectic criminal trials in American court annals. Five defense attorneys carried on a running battle with Judge Medina, who became con vinced that the lawyers were deliberately insulting h i m NOW AT I 1 75."' I J I Uu IT PAYS TO GO TO . . .

On numerous occasions Medina warned counsel that their conduct was contemtn. ous, but in order not to delay the trial or deprive defend ants of counsel, he did not cite them for contempt until after the jury had brought in its verdict and been dis charged. Then Medina asked the lawyers to stand nn rear! them a portion of the lengthy contempt certificate he had prepared, found them all guilty of contempt, and sen tenced them to prison. Procedure Upheld The U. S. Supreme Court upheld Medina's Drocedure. pointing out that: "there may rje no misunderstanding, we make clear that this Court, if its aid be needed, will unhes itatingly protect counsel in fearless, vigorous and effec tive performance of every duty pertaining to the office of the advocate on behalf of any person whatsoever. But it will not equate eontempt with courage of insults with independence. It will also protect the processes of or derly trial, which is the su preme object of the lawyer's calling."

Y. - (Scien tific American Feature) - To bring a space vehicle to a pre cise rendezvous with the plan ets calls for rocket-launching techniques of fantastic accu racy. The achievement of even near miss in the case of Mars (within 6,000 miles of the planet) is like hitting a duck with a rifle at a range of 11 miles according to Au brey B. Mickelwait, Edwin H. Tompkins, Jr., and Robert A. Park, specialists concerned with the problems of inter planetary navigation. If rockets travelled under continuous' power, they ex plain, the problem of navigat ing vehicles to a desired ob jective would be easy. Like an airplane, continuously power ed rockets could be steered while in flight. For the time being, however, rockets must be aimed like guns. Power is available only during the first few minutes of flight and the navigation that is to bring the vehicle to its destination must be accomplished during those few minutes. The problem Is complicated still further by the conflicting demands of payload, radio communications and available power. No significant point is served in sending a vehicle to a neighboring planet unless it is equipped to deliver infor- Made In A Jiffy Sewn In a Jiffy, embroider ed in 6-to-the-inch cross-stitch quickly, this will be a favo rite.

This means that the payload must include instruments capable of responding to or "sensing" the desired information and of radioing it to earthbound observers. The farther away the objective the more power ful the rocket's radio trans mitter must be and the great er the amount of available power at the time of launch ing. Accordingly, those who design the path in space to be followed by the rockot are well advised to select a launching date when the earth and the objective are in the most favorable positions for the flight. Jn the new special ty of "trajectory designing," these dates are called minimum-energy days. The last minimum-energy day for a flight to the planet Venus was June 8, 1959. On that date the planet was pre cisely 180 degrees around the sun from the earth and the plane of Us orbit coincided with that of the earth. Unfor tunately, man's conquest of space has come just too late to exploit the advantages of that day. An equally favora ble opportunity will not occur again for many centuries, al though 1967 will bring a close approximation. The next minimum-energy day will occur early in 1961. But a successful launching on this day will call for the rocket to be traveling about 1,000 feet per second faster at the moment its fuel is exhausted than would have been the case on the ideal day of June 8, 1959. Launching errors, the scien tists explain, can be corrected by small rockets installed in the vehicle and fired on radio command from the earth. But such systems add to the pay- load. Moreover, a corrective thrust in the right direction implies control over the orien tation of the vehicle in space. This can presently be achiev ed by imparting a spin to the vehicle at take-off. More pow erful rockets, now in the off ing, will extend the range ot possible launching velocities. But speed is no solution to the problem of error. Burnout velocities of double the minimum-energy value actually would multiply aiming and approach problems 10-fold, according to the specialists. Ultimately, of course, still more powerful rockets will lift continuous p r o P ulsion space vehicles free of the earth s gravitational uu aim the problem of interplanetary navigation will become rela tively easier, pending such de velopment any successes achieved must rely heavily on the master of celestial me chanics and on launching tech nologists gifted in the una aris of marksmanship. Congress lor Youth Planned in June A Youth Congress for North American Seventh-day Adven tiits will be held June 21-25 in Convention hall in Atlantic City, N-J-, Mrs. Elmer Fjarli, local Missionary Volunteer leader, has announced.

He also disclosed that Pres ident Eisenhower has pledg ed to him that the U. S. flag will continue to fly over Ber lin. Adenauer has asked if there was some area for a Berlin compromise with the Commu nists. He replied, "one will have to discuss, and then we will see whether compromis es will be possible. At any rate there are no big com promises possible." He added that "the essence of the status of Berlin must not be affected." Satisfied With Statement He said he was well satis fied with President Eisenhow er's statements that the free dom of West Berlin must be preserved, West Berliners must have the right to self determination and basic U. S. rights in the city must not be altered. "I can add to that he said that the flag of the United States will continue to fly over Berlin," the chancellor said. In reply to a question, Ad enouer said he had never ask ed Eisenhower to pledge that he would risk nuclear war over Berlin. But he said he is convinced no such war could break out because Sov iet premier Nikita Khrush chev does not want war. The Rev.

He said the big four political leaders cannot settle the disarmament prob lem In a matter of days but they can come out clearly "in favor of disarmament so as to allow the experts real ly to make progress." Other Paints The chancellor made these other points: -West Germany will not ne gotiate for military depots in Spain without getting NATO approval. -The German people are neither anti-Semitic nor na tional Socialist. He said there may be "one or the other old fool running around in the streets . , . but he is being laughed at and I think that is the best thing you can do about it." -Today's German youths have a strong "European spirit" comparable to that of youths in other nations on the continent, "they want to earn without working hard for it and they want to gel entertainment on Saturday and Sunday."
