He vigorously denied his client had urged the overthrow of the vernment, which charge I. Manusl in, the prosecutor, stressed in his for the State. Should Judge King decide that Bim ba is guilty of either or both of the charges, the case would be heard in the Superior Court of Plymouth Coun- ty, probably in June. Opposes Technical Victory. Hoffman just before court was dis missed declared, with a bang of his fist on the counsel table, that he would rather have Bimba found guilty than freed on a technicality of law. Judge King had pointed out that there had been nothing in the evidence to show that Bimba had urged the over- throw of the M sachusetts State gov- ernment, which is the only govern- ment mentioned in the statute. “I'll concede he meant the State government if he meant anything,” said Hoffman. *“I don’t want him freed on a technicality, not by a shot.” Bimba's lips twitched into a smile occasionally while he listened to Rubin denounce him as had come to sow the among the Lithuanian she 8 of Brockton His unusua solemn face lighted up now and then Hoffman declared the time «f all cencerned in the c: would he well spent if it brought about the reali- zation that the Constitution of the United States guaranteed free speech.

ANTIBILLBOARD VIEW DEVELOPING Progress Reported by Body Sponsoring Campaign in 39 States. A rapidly developing public opin- ion against the desecration of Ameri- ndscape by misplaced billboard ng is seen by the National ~ for Restricti p ort on the prog 1 to restrict such during last vear. rural billboard says the matter what the design or the colo ing, or whet it stensibly to chewing gum or s 1 plexions, the message is the America the Ugly.' We are a: the fact th uty of our and at the same time use them as a background for advertising. We must make our choice between beau ty and the billboard Since its organization in 1923 the committee enlisted the co-opera tion of more than 100 other nationa its campaign to ‘“re- striet all outdoor advertising to com 1 distreits where it will not in. scenery, civic beauty or residen- tial values Hundreds of Local Bodies. The national tioning through committees organzied in report said. The committee already has obtained results in its direct approach to na- tional advertisers which leads it to “believe that the national advertisers will be quick to respond to public opinion if expressed with sufficient angth and in the right spirit.” The d billboard industry, although ate and municipal regula- tion standing for a policy of self regulation, has {n a measure recog- nized the weight of public opinion on the question by rece adopting specified standards of practice, Under these standards the signboard companies agree to erect no boards in residence districts, the report says, no boards adjacent to parks surround- ed by residences and no boards which “mar or impair the scenery.” If this program {s carried out with the public as judges, there will be a great im- provement in the future, the com- mittee says. The organized industry also agrees to remove all poster panels from rural highways within five yea but apparently intends, the repor says, to erect painted boards along rural highways as long as advertisers will use them Although, com me-— committee is func- hundreds of local States, the resistin mong other regulatory consin, Maine, Minnesota and Tennessee- e passed laws pro- hibiting all advertising signs on the right of way of State roadways, this does little to pr the landscape, the committee s, because signs placed back of the right of way are just as unsightly as those on the roadway. The committee urges the States to follow the example of Massachusetts in adopting an amendment to the State constitution permitting regula- tion and striction of advertising within public view. Sacrifices Advertising Value. Twenty-nine national advertisers already have Indorsed the restriction policy and promised to confine their billboards to commerclal districts as soon as present contracts expire, the committee reports. The Standard Ofl Co. of California last year, on its own Initiative, it is noted, removed nearly 1,200 large billboards from the highways of five Western States, an- nouncing that it was willing to sac- the advertising value of the signs to preserve the splendid scenery along the highways of those States. Other evidences cited by the com- mittee of progress in the campaign are adoption by the State Chamber of Commerce of Florida of the slogan “Swat the Sign and Save Scenery”; abandonment by the City of Atlanta of a plan to erect billboards on miles of roads leading into that clty, and action of the Benoit Co. of Portland, Me., in removing more than 400 biil- boards from the highways of New England, after Gov. Brewster of Maine had urged the people of his State to save the beauty of ice CARDINAL SILI DEAD. Passing of Gasparri’s Cousin Leaves Five Vacancies in Sacred College.

LONDON, February 27 (#).—Leader of fashion are having a difficult time driving Englishmen back into evening clothes. Some of the prominent FLondon clubs have adopted rules that only men In evening attire may dine in the main dining rooms. The result has been that a few members dine in lonely state in the big dining while the smaller rooms are with diner in business - raised havoe with formal men. Shirtmakers and tailors are trying to lure men back into their pre-war customs, but with- out mueh e Men cling to soft lounge Isuite, s five vacancies in the cred College, which now is com- posed of 34 Ttalian and 31 foreign cardinals. Since it is the custom of the Pope never to reach the college’s “plenum” of 70 members, it is prob- able that he will create only two or thiree cardinals at the next consistory, the date of which is yet to be fixed. Mgr. De Samper, papal major domo, and Mgr. Caccia Dominloni, master of the chamber, are mentioned as the two prelates most likely to be created cardinals. Mgr. De Samper was born fin Colombia, and thus his entry into the sacred collegze would give another representative to Latin America. JAILED MEN RELEASED.
