Beaten To a Frazzle Newspaperdom ought to keep well in mind the facts concerning the Los Angeles Record contempt of court case which has just turned its toes in the Superior Court of California Cali-fornia The post-mortem reveals that the odious critter died of exhaustion, every attempt by the ruling clique of the Los Angeles Bar Association failing to put blinders -and gags on Publisher H. B. R. Briggs, Editor Gilbert Brown and Managing Man-aging 'Editor Rodney Brink. On May 27 attorneys for the Bar Association asked for a dismissal of the charges. It had narassea tne editors ior,xwo years. . Two important decisions were rendered in this case: (Y The state supreme court ruled that no judge charged with prejudice may pass upon his own qualifications. (2) Judge Frank C. Collier, who started the rumpus because he felt lese majeste had been committed,; was disqualified from trying try-ing his own case.--- . ' : - What was it all about?

It was a get- irtVuWiilWlr nrarao in whiMi enmo lAfldino piHzfena WPM in the i AWitUVn ' ftlUUV A1 Tl - - ; - - act X)f fleecing come-ons out of millions, when something slipped and the whole thing blew up with a horrid stench. The wfcole nation vowed this weird piece of financial skullduggery skull-duggery ought to be spanned hard, but Los Angeles law officers offi-cers were hot excited to avenge the crime. The Record published pub-lished frank editorials and quite impudent cartoons demanding demand-ing action insteau oi circumlocution. So the batteries of the law, so lenient toward the oil grafters, were turned upon the newspaper, the editors charged with such intrinsic crimes as interfering with the Grand Jury and the solemn, secret, sacrosanct business of the court. Judge Collier, feeling insulted, in-sulted, summoned the trembling editorial culprits before him and proposed to give them the works, but somehow $he good old American system, supported by righteous public indignation, indigna-tion, saved them from doing time behind the bars while Julian Jul-ian Petroleum gentlemen continued to bask in California sunshine. sun-shine. Considering the brave and able fight Editor Briggs and his associates have made, iber is sardonic humor in the Bar Association plea for dismissal on the following grounds: (1) Due to lapse of time, the Julian Petroleum case is no longer of public interest; (2) Due to general conditions existing exist-ing pi the community (radicalism due to depression) no good will be served by again publicizing the "unortunate" oil scandal ; (3) We believe "that all wholesome purposes . . . have been, achieved." The fourth and main reason, however, is that the oar Association, was, never sincere in this prosecution and used - its power, for the sole purpose ;of silencing a public-service editor, which ignoble trick was: about to Be' exposed iff open" court for the people of Los Angeles to look at and consider.

Ten days later.it gave you a pleasant glow of anticipation to receive the trim card telling you when they'd be "at home." And today you got another card, headed "Now we are three!" Bill's signature comes first, then Katherine's, and then the guided, chubby scrawl of the newcomer, Jeremy. You happen to know that although, he is in tine for an important promotion, pro-motion, Bils present salary isn't large. Most other young couples would consider themselves "up against it" if they had to manage on so little. Yet Katherine and Bill maintain a stndard of living that is the admiration of all their friends. You know how they do it, for Katherine has told you. They budget all expenditures. And when they decide a purchase is to be made, whether it is a new shade for the reading lamp, or a suit for Bill, or shoes for Katherine, they study the advertisements until they find just whaUthey want for the price they can pay.
