PRESS APPEAL ON CONTEMPT SOON IN COURT Cleveland Newspaper Case To Be Heard Next Month By Harold E. Righter United Press Staff Correspondent. Cleveland, 0.. Aug. 12. —(U.R) —Another question in the very old puzzle of just how much of the constitutional freedom is enjoyed by the American press, will be answered in the Cuyahoga county court of appeals here next month. At that time the appeal of two executives of the Cleveland Press is -scheduled to be heard. Louis B. Seltzer. editor, and Carlton K. Matson, chief editorial writer, were judged guilty recently of contempt of court* by Common Pleas Judge Frederick P. Walther. They were fined SSOO each and sentenced each to thirty days in jail. They were then released under bond SI,OOO each pending their appeal. Judge Walther said front the bench that the newspapermen were guilty of contempt of his court because they printed an editorial criticising - him for issuing an injunction against the sheriff of Cuyahoga county enjoining him from interfering with the contribu’ion system of betting on race horses at the Thistledown track. Baker Heads Defense Newton D. Baker, former secretary of the navy, is chief counsel for the newspapermen. He told Judge Walther he had never heard of such an injunction as the one issued against the sheriff ‘“to enjoin him from carrying out his sworn duty.” Daker pleaded, and will continue to plead, he says, for freedom of the press and the right of newspapers to criticize any and all public officials just as long as such criticism does not stand in the way ot justice itself. The injunction used the phrase if it be not in violation of the laws of

Ohio” in licensing the contribution system to carry on at the track. Baker argued that this phrase made it no injunction at all and that furthermore contempt can not be' charged unless the criticism is made of the court while a certain case is pending. Editorial Comment Vigorous editorial criticism which in many cases amounted to severe condemnation of the judge’s action in sentencing the men, cropped out all over the country. The American Civil Liberties Union wired an offer to help defend the editors. Metropolitan newspapers were almost unanimous in their criticism of the judge. One newspaperman close to the scene called the judge’s injunction order a ‘‘weazel-worded writ.” Another said: “'Jude Walther’s decision stands out because It is not only contrary to law but like the order that have rise to it, is a judicial absurdity.” Walther sat on the bench and passed judgment in the case of the editors after citing them for contempt of his own court. This also was criticised freely. o Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Gattshall spent Sunday at Edgewater Park. Celina, Ohio. 1 ' Q- 11 ■ Lodge vill be held tomorrow.
