Does TV Have Place
In Courtroom Trial?
Should news photography be allowed in a court
of law?
This question has been batted around jour
nalistic and judicial circles in Georgia for some
time. And the controversial topic recently ac
quired nationwide attention when the television
industry made its bid to offer pictorial news cov
erage of the Jack Ruby trial.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, probably stirred
by the controversy over television’s right to cover
the Ruby court proceedings, presents his view
point on the subject in the current FBI law en
forcement bulletin. His observations, which we
believe will be of interest to many, are reprinted
below:
TO MY MIND, commercial jingles, station
breaks, and panning television cameras are in
congruous with the dignity and solemnity of
courtroom procedures.
Most Americans agree with the honored con
cept that no one is free “to obstruct or to con
taminate the pure stream of justice.” It is a re
markable tribute to our society that, in exercis
ing the many freedoms we enjoy, the people have
never lost sight of the need for a counterbalance
or rights the assurance that the practice of one
right shall not infringe upon nor invade another.
♦ * *
THE ADMINISTRATION of justice is one of
the more basic constitutional guarantees. It must
be allowed to proceed without obstruction from
any source. Yet, an integral part of our way of
life is the public’s right to know. The obligation
and privilege of keeping the public fully and
promptly informed fall to the practitioners of
another of our most cherished constitutional

freedoms—freedom of the press.
The framers on the Bill of Rights saw freedom
of the press as a necessary prerequisite to effec
' live democratic action. The true worth of this
priceless safeguard has been proved time and
again. Democracy, as we know it, could not exist
without it. Lives of Americans, generation after
generation, have been the richer for it.
Even so, freedom of the press in its broadest
and most liberal interpretation is not an unlim
ited and unrestrained right. From the beginning,
responsible journalists, while acclaiming and en
joying press privileges, have always recognized
their obligations to other free institutions.
♦ * *
A FREE nation is a progressive nation. Over
the years, progress in news reporting has kept
pace with the rapid advance of our society. Now.
through the medium of television the public’s
right to be informed may be accomplished “live
and on the spot." This achievement, while great
ly enhancing and widening the scope of press
coverage, has created some new and provocative
problems, particularly within the realm of our
judicial processes. Some televised accounts of
courtroom trials and other incidents bearing on
individual rights raise the question of just where
public right stops and public curiosity com
mences.
In the interest of fair judicial procedure, ad
vocates of courtroom television may want to re
fer again to the ethical canons of both journal
ism and law. Otherwise, where the administra
tion of justice is concerned it may be necessary
to revise the popular Broadway slogan, “There’s
No Business Like Show Business”.

AFTER WEEKS of intensive
study in executive session, the
Senate Finance Committee, of
which I am a member, has fin
ished marking up the Adminis
tration’s proposed tax-cut legis
lation and reported it for Senate
action.
Although there likely will be
considerable
debate over the
bill, when all is
said and done,
it is virtually
certain to be
enacted.
I expect to ।
vote for this
bill because the |
American people are entitled to
some relief from the income tax,
and it is my hope that the tax
reduction will act as a stimu
lant on the general economy.
* * »
INDIVIDUAL income taxes
would be cut a total of $9 bil
lion by reductions in the tax
rates for all brackets, and the
American taxpayers would al
most immediately see bigger
paychecks because of a reduc
tion in withholding rates from
18 to 14 per cent.
This is expected to pump
about SBOO million a month into
the spending stream of the en
tire nation, or some $9.6 billion
in the next 12 months. The aver
age wage earner would realize
about a $2 a week increase from
the withholding rate reduction.
Os this SBOO million, Georgia
could anticipate an increase of
some $l3O million a year in
money flowing into the general
economy of the state. Moreover,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
All over Georgia Garden Club women are laying down gar
den tools and taking up pens to urge the General Assembly to
pass Bill 123 which would restrict billboards along interstate
routes and qualify the state for $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 in addi
tional federal funds. Twenty states have already passed such a
law.
In 1891 at Athens, Ga„ a little band of Georgia women be
gan the first garden club in the United States. Today Georgia
has 900 such clubs with a niembership totaling 23,000. In other
states garden clubs have worked untiringly and successfully for
this legislation. Here in the state that cradled the first garden
club we can do no less.
I urge every garden club member to spend five minutes of
her time and four cents of her money to send a postcard to Gov.
Carl Sanders urging his support for Bill 123. I ask every man,
woman and child interested in beautiful highways to do likewise.
Our highways belong to us. Let us be sure that they will be all
that we want them to be.

AS IRONIC as it may seem
I to reduce revenue in times of
an unbalanced budget, it is my
| view that the nation has been
। conditioned to expect a tax cut,
, and if one is not forthcoming,
: the consequences could be dam

It could cause a shock in our
economy, resulting in cutbacks
i of private spending, capital in
• vestment, and inventories and
: reduced employment, and per
: haps even a recession.
Also, those members of Con
■ gress who believe that we can
■ spend ourselves to prosperity
। would attempt to inaugurate
costly new programs on the
। ground that the economy could
। be stimulated in this way. In my
. opinion, private enterprise can
i do the job better.
President Johnson has shown
i a desire to reduce spending along
, with the tax cut, and I hope the
, Congress will continue to pur

' reductions in the national bud

“Joy is not in things
it is in us . . .”
All too often when our spirits
are at a low ebb, we tend to
look toward others with envy
—with the feeling that if we
could have certain posses
sions that our neighbors have
acquired, life would be more
enjoyable for us. In many in
stances our lives might be
more comfortable and possi
bly easier physically. How
ever, in truth, without the
ability within ourselves to ap
preciate the goodness and
beauty which surrounds us,
no accumulation of material
things can bring us the joy
we are seeking.

Recently there has been a
great deal of publicity regarding
the health hazard of cigarette
smoking. This is not new. More
than fifty years ago people said
that smoking a cigarette was
driving a tack in your casket. Re
cently the British gave out a
theory that coffee might be a
contributory cause of cancer and
the Germans came up with the
theory that air pollution might
cause cancer.

It seems that the United States
foreign policy has away of fall

was not a suitable ruler for the
Chinese people and helped the
communist to take over China
stating at that time that they
were only agrain rebels. Then
they decided that the Republic
of Cuba needed a new ruler be
cause of the conduct of Batista,
of course Batista was not the
kind of ruler that would appeal
to our people but compared to
Castro, Batista was a patriot.
This leads us to have some
doubt about the wisdom of the
U. S. officials who contributed to
the overthrow of the Diem re
gine in Viet Nam.
