The command by its very nature seeks to violate the constitutional rights not only of the Conover-Mast Corp. and { Barclay, but the ig of the American peopl e. oe “Those engaged in the business of the press are but trustees of the people’s right to have a press free from official restraint. . “Publishers and editors who are true to their trust must refuse to comply with any demand .of any Government agency for them to lay bare not only the sources of their information, but the record of their work, the inner workings of their minds, and the reasons controlling giiner their hews or editorial polYolo oo

President Madison Quoted

“The action of the Board is without precedent in the ole span of this nation’s life. Yet it is an historical fact that similar action by the British Government 175 years ago not only precipitated the revolution which gave birth to the American nation, but laid the corner stone of the Bill of Rights in ' our Federal Constitution, the very sanctity of which is violated by this subpena.” James Madison led in preparation of the “free speech and free press” part of the Constitution. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, speaking for the Supreme Co in a free-dom-of-the-press decision, quoted - President Madison as follows: “Some degree of abuse is insepa- - rable from the Tr use of every- - thing; and in tance is this more -true than in hat of the press. It has accordingly been decided by -. the practice of the states that it is better to leave a few of its noxious branches to their luxuriant growth, than by pruning them away, to injure ‘the vigor of ‘those Fielding the ~~ proper fruits. » —/Refusal Referred to YBoard in Capital - Times Special STEUBENVILLE, LO. Dec. T— The refusal of Editor Hartley Ww. Barclay to answer a subpena of the National Labor Relations Board has ‘been referred to the Board in Washington by its'tmal examiner in ~ the Weirton hearings here, Edward Grandison Smith. When Mr. Barclay’s name was called yesterday, and he did not ap-|V pear, Isadore Polier, youthful attorney for the Board, immediately began an argument for action to compel his attendance. The Labor Board, he said, “is ever mindful of the utter necessity for the complete freedom of the, press. . . , But if this article, by its use by the Weirton Steel Co., interferes with the rights of employees, it will be shown by the testimony that this does not in the remotest affect the issue of the freedom of the press.

“We are not concerned with Mr. Barclay’s right to write the article, to write whatever he chooses, to * take whatever view of the matter he chooses, but in this case the issue is whether or not the Weirton Steel Co. has interfered with the rights of its employees contrary to the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act, and whether or not the article was bought and paid for by the Weirton Steel Co. . “Mr, Barclay and the ConoverMast Corp. are in possession of facts that bear upon that. ‘We beNeve that legally they should be to produce the facts in

Princess Elizabeth turned her blue eyes to her teacher and made that pronouncement when, while learning the table of British kings and quéens, she was told that one day she probably would be monarch of the Empire. T.Such at least is the story that has delighted London. Certainly there is this truth in it—that the 11-year-old Elizabeth in all probability will become queen, that she is well aware of that fact, and that already she is being. trained for the throne. , Only the birth of a son to King George and Queen Elizabeth could prevent the princess from succeeding her father. That is an extremely unlikely event. Queen Elizabeth now is 37. The difficulties that attended the births of Princess Elizabeth and her sister, Margaret Rose, mitigate against additional children. Elizabeth was brought into the world by a caesarian operation,

Queen was “starved”—scientifically i. —so that the baby would be small.

“For the Family”

Since King George and Queen Elizabeth came to the throne a year ago, there have been many indications that they themselves: expect Princess Elizabeth to ascend to} power. ~ Thus, the-official prayers for the Royal Family are “for the King, | the ‘Queen, Princess Elizabeth, and other members of the Royal Family. ” Cc Britons are by no means dismayed by the prospect of having anather reigning Queen.

Princess Elizabeth faces far ‘aifferent times than those which prevailed during the reign of Elizabeth. Then there were no digtators almost at England’s doorstep. There were no totalitarian states. Democracy was scarcely more than a word. Since .the days of Elizabeth, of course, the throne has been shorn of much of its power, but it still is a potent influence toward maintaining the sometimes loosening bonds of Empire, and it is for the exercise of that influence that Princess Elizabeth already is being School Days Are Happy

Later will come more rigorous and demanding education, when the Princess will have to learn about diplomacy and world economies so that she may advise with her statesmen. The little Princess’ “school days” ‘now are happy and pleasant, like those of many children of wealth who are educated privately. Her father and mother, fearing she might become spoiled and too haughty if she did not have the company of other children of her age, desired her to be sent to a school. Her grandfather, the late King George 'V, stopped that plan. He knew there were many things she would have to learn that could ‘only ‘bé taught privately Thus it is

Princess Elizabeth explained to her sister: “But I shall be Queen one day,”
