ak Ti TRUSCOTT PRINTING COMP. ae > 239 Commercial Street 1136 Telephone 36.— Grass V , California Nevada City, California Entered December 5, 1926, as second class matter at the post.office at Nevada City, California, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Adjudicated a legal newspaper November 6, 1951, in Nevada County Subscription: Yearly $3.00; Six Months $1.75 Advertising Rates on Request ; Superior Court;Decree No. 10023. : . A STATEMENT FROM DEAN DAVID E. SNODGRASS, HASTINGS LAW COLLEGE The necessity of shielding juries from information not admissible as evidence in a criminal trial is a “police” problem for the bench and bar and not the responsibility of the press, Dean David E. Snodgrass of the University of California’s Hastings College of Law declared recently. The occasion was a brief keynote address opening a series of three lectures on criminal law and libel at Hastings, for Northern California newsmen. Dean Snodgrass referred to a case pending before. the United States Supreme Court and to the Powell sedition case, which ended recently in a mis-trial in Federal District Court in San Francisco, Ae He noted that Federal Judge Louis E. Goodman had no alternative but to declare a mis-trial in the Powell case when it was ‘shown that jurors had read news stories misinterpreting and distorting remarks by the judge, outside the presence of the jury, concerning the case against the defendants. The case pending before the United States Supreme Court involves the conviction of one Howard R. Marshall in Colorado for violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The sole issue before the Supreme Court is whether Marshall was denied a fair trial because jurors read, during the trial, newspaper stories stating as the Supreme Court put it, that he had “a record of two previous felony convictions” and reciting “other defamatory matter.” Marshall’s case was argued before the Supreme Court only March 26. “Tf jurors tn a criminal case”, said Dean Snodgrass, ‘‘are prejudiced against the defendant by what they read in newspapers or hear on the radio or television during the course of the trial, obviously the defendant is denied a fair trial. “My point is that'a news reporter should be free to assume that jurors will not read or listen to accounts of. the trial. He is covering the trial for the public, not for the jury. “And yet it is a notorious fact that jurors frequently disregard admonitions by the trial judge not to read or listen to anything about the trial that is not received in evidence. “In my opinion, this presénts a serious ‘police’ problem for the bench and bar. Perhaps the solution is to lock juries up for the duration of a trial that attracts wide public attention. “Tt seems to me that news reporters should be able to use anything in the official record of the trial, regardless of whether it occurs outside the presence of the jury, without fear that publication will lead to a mis-trial or reversal of a conviction. : “Moreover, it seems to me that if a defendant is an exconvict, news reporters should be free to label him as such even though the fact is not brought to the attention of. the jury.” : Dean Snodgrass also took occasion to again criticize as “archaic and unrealistic’ the American Bar Association's long-established ban on news photographs in courtrooms. The rule prohibits courtroom photographs even during a recess. : The opening lecture in the series for newsmen was presented by Albert J. Harno, eminent former dean of the University of Illinois College of Law and a member of the famed “65 Club” at Hastings, where no professor under the age of 65 is eligible for a full-time faculty post.DEPENDS ON WHOSE OX In Dowagiac, Michigan, the other day Farmer Stanley Yankus stood by as his 100-acre farm, his home, his chickens, equipment and furnishings were sold at auction for $30,000. Yankus is the sturdy individualist who has_ paid and has regretfully decided to rather than let the federal government force him to grow less wheat than he needed to feed his more than $6,000 in fines migrate to Australia, chickens. In Stockton} Grocer Charles jail its regulated price, even if it was good for business. So far as the news reports went, no professional defenders of our civil liberties were in the Michigan auction crowd, nor registered in any Stockton hotel. It may be, of course, that they have been so busy looking for cases in which the government has seemingly impinged upon the technical rights of people accused of being comthat they haven’t even had time to read about the gavernment’s interference with the age-old rights of men such as Yankus and Hawkins and You and You to carve a living from the soil they own, or munists, racketeers and narcotic pushers, from competition with other men in the market place. We cannot, of course, ignore the motes of law enforce2 , The threats to individual freedom couched in the fates of Farmer Yankus : y They are symptoms of a growing authoritarianism in government that is a far greater danger to our society than the occasional technical misuse of ment; but we also should consider the beams. and Grocer Hawkins are not idle. law in the fight against crime. Hawkins, a San Joaquin County Supervigor, heard himself sentenced to 20 days in and his firm fined $1,400 because, in a long fight against what he feels are improper fair trade regulations, he defied a court order which told him he couldn’t sell an article below all the children of every cc nity—the future Americans! _KNIT TWO, PURL TWO! You _. knitting; she knits two, purls two}, as she knits the garment with]. meticulous care. She fabricates heavy border to sustain the body and heavy cuffs to sustain the sleeves. As she builds, stitch by stitch, her mind may see many, many pictures: the events of the past, the present, the uncertain future. But~what ever passes through her mind is viewed from an objective standpoint, not ‘subjective. Off Alta Street to the. west, opposite the Litton property, is a piece that your scribe has humbly called “The Sancfuary in the Temple of the Pines.” It is simply magnificent in its quiet beauty, its dignity, and tremendous in its grandeur of solitude. Here you can be close to God, if you will listen. The sun blesses the place by weaving its soft rays of light among the stately pine. There, one lovely afternoon, a man reposed in silent meditation. Perhaps he, too, thought of the past, the present, and sought help that would \enable him_ to fulfill his. dreams\of the future. But whatever his thoughts, they had to be viewed from an_ objcetive standpoint, not subjective! Many times in the lives of people they become so engrossed with their own problems—the unchanging routine of the day, the week, or the month—that they : fail to notice that which is going on around them UNTIL—well— UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.They know, in an abstract manner, that their actions, along with their fellow citizens, is knitting a garment of perpetuity. Other than being bored, sometimes, with their daily existence, they carry on: Knitting Two, Purling Two! They read the daily newspaper and glean all the news. Their minds have become so accustomed to accepting as factual everything that is printed daily that they do not bother to go beyond the printed word to determine the cause behind the news. Then, all of a sudden, someone, perhaps prompted by others, Knits Two and Purls One, and disturbs the even pattern of the garment that clothes their community against the chill of PERSONAL POWER FOR PERSONAL GAIN! People begin to realize that there may be some that will be afraid to do this or to do that, for it may offend someone in power and repercussions could follow! Whether it be in the sanctuary of the Temple of the Pines, or the sanctuary of some silent, little retreat, individuals stop to think and to view the picture from an objective standpoint. WHEN THE DO, they are liable to ask themselves a great many questions. They are liable to see on the board of directors of their -. community corporation some little director too small for his large and responsible, position— they are liable to see a small group wielding undisputed power under the false guise that it is for the good of the community. Then, as they become more and more convinced that this is so— that someone is Knitting Two and Purling One—the stockholders of the community-corporation the citizens themselves, rise up with firm and determined action to stop the knitting needles and place them in the hands of individuals that will KNIT TWO and PURL TWO and close the gap against the chill of personal aggrandizement at their expense. This time has come in this community in years past, and the solid. citizens have acted promptly to be sure the pattern of firm and honest building is not disturbed. But maybe the time has arrived again when we should all retire to our sanctuary and look at our community from an objective standpoint—for it is barely revision, it’s begin‘as though state tax ew York state tax boost ¥ im the wind. oney troubles, se than those of other states, also are symptomatic. Some say the reason for the plight of the states is extravagance. Others argue that higher state budgets are the inevitable result of populaiton growth. But the fact is, the chamber notes, that total state expenditures increased from about $7.1 billion in 1946 to about $24.2 billion in 1957. Meanwhile, state debt rose from $2.4 billion to $13.7 billion over the same period. So, the search for more revenue is on. A few states are considering new sources of tax money. But, according to the chamber, increases are most likely to be asked in the areas of personal income tax, general sales taxes, and taxes on motor fuels, tobacco and alcoholic beverages. At this point, the chamber notes, the states are rediscovering an unpleasant face: Uncle Sam has his fingers in nearly all the state tax pies. For as he respoded to demands for more and more federal aid and other program of assistance to the states, he, too, had to find new sources of revenue, reducing the income availabale to the states. There may be a brighter side to this picture, says the chamber. For as more ahd more of us realize that federal aid isn’t “free money” after all, the pressure for this kind of federal spending may ease up, permitting Uncle Sam to ~emove himself from some of the states’s tax preserves, and “thus permitting them to finance their public work, welfare, school and other program without federal assistance.
