Show - DECISION AGAINST FREE SPEECH CURBS . . . Twitchell Takes Supreme Court to Task GIVES ELMER REASON TO GRlp: ' By H. I. PHILLIPS ' " v TWITCHELL VS. DOUGLAS "About the only fellow who can get into trouble easily today in America is the one who believes in law and order, pauses for second sec-ond wind now and then and believes be-lieves there are limits to breach of the peace," declares Elmer Twitchell. He has been going over the recent supreme court decision by a 5 to 4 vote against curbs on hatred, violence and rabble rousing rous-ing tactics even when they bring on riots.

"It was another one of those photo finishes due to a strong stretch run by Justice Douglas," Doug-las," declares Elmer. Bill, speaking for the majority opinion, opin-ion, said the authorities have no right to curb speeches no matter how violent or full of hatred. He says that If America Amer-ica is to be vital it has got to have the rabble rousers shoot the works. In other words, we have got to preserve our vitality vital-ity even if we use our last ounce of strength. "We are' leaning over backwards so far for free speech that those who stop at nothing to scuttle our freedoms are getting the right of way at all times. The demagogue, the earsplitter, the gasbag and the microphone bellyacher are getting a pat on the back, a license to operate op-erate with the throttle wide open and a kiss from the high courts. You would think they are the backbone back-bone of the country and that the enemy was the quiet, thoughtful, tolerant little guy who always kept his voice down, respected the police and wanted no tear bombs tossed at anybody. "The five justices held that no speeches should be curbed until it was clearly shown that they might cause trouble far above the public inconvenience, annoyance or unrest." " And since the case in question was one which involved street riots, rock hurling, personal assaults as-saults and stench bombs, it would seem that these jurists classified such violence as merely an Inconvenience and an annoyance. "The other four justices took the view that it is more than an inconvenience in-convenience and a nuisance to find, yourself flat on your puss with the moD trampling over yom body.
