DEFIANT MARTIN CO. FARMER 1S JAILED]
The three-year battle of Marion Porter versus the U. S.- Government —in"which the Martin County farmer has defiled all efforts to remove him from land needed to complete| the Burns City Naval Ammunition Depot—recessed today while Porter thought matters over in the. Marin
County Jail. Special Judge william H. Holly of Chicago, presiding for Judge Robert C. Baltzell who is ill, ordered Porter's confinement on a contempt of court charge in the Evansville Pederal court Saturday. Despite a permanent injunction issued by Judge Baltzell forbidding Porter access to the land, he has continued to plant and harvest crops on the 140-acre farm. The GoveMmnment has acquired possession of the needed land through condemnation eedings, requiring an 80-acre eo to complete fencing of the — depot. A Government check in payment for the land was hustled back to the U. S. Treasury by the irate farmer. . Porter's case will be continued Nov. 28 when Judge Baltzell is expected to return to the bench.

ners. ”» out, which may or may not be so. It’s all according to how you look at it. But the thing was, the studio said this movie presented reporters more like they were in the flesh. To which I said, in effect, “good,” because reporters are like most other tradesmen and they ‘don’t go around cussing the boss and telling him he ought to be peddling papers instead of editing them. To which these two aforementioned colleagues said, in effect, “nuts.” To which I say, “double nuts.” These two gents claim they can dig up reporters who would make good stuff for the movies any time of the day or night. Which may be. and probably is. But. my guess is that if you walked into a city room, shut your eyes and laid your hand on a reporter, he would be nothing to startle you or send you hurrying home to write the successor
to “Front Page.”
Dramatic Demise
STORIES EMANATING from city rooms, well, there's a different thing, They abound. For instance, there’s one about the local copy reader who one day got very weary -of his surroundings. he took the proof of a local story and after the name of a very ‘prominent ‘gentleman, he penciled in that this man was wanted for several heinous crimes. The copy reader sent the proof back to the composing room for the “correction,” walked out and to this day hasn't been seen around here. Or there’s the one about the over-zealous copy boy. One early morning he was in one of the press association offices when he heard a fire truck scream by. And then another. In a second, the boy was at a teletype, breaking into the’ Chicago wire with “Flash—Fire in Indianapolis,” or something to that effect. And “flash” is something you don’t send on a wire unless you've got some news of near world-
