BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Stage and screen have long portrayed | the representatives of journalism as the intrusive, unscrupulous and often debauched type of reporter. Yesterday saw another type honored by the Nation through its Government. For noj statesman, tribute of affection and respect paid to his memory than was bestowed upon Richard V. Oulahan, whose funeral was attended by the President of the United States, representatives of officialdom and the press from far and wide. Mcst Popular Reporter. Dick Oulahan was the highest ty journalism has produced. He was Was| ington’s most capable reporter. He was its most popular newspaper man. He was regarded by officials, by Democrats and Republicans, as the essence of fair- ness and the best exponent of journal- ism's ethics that the National Capital as had in gencrations As the Washington correspondent of the New York Times, Mr. Oulahan had a powerful constituency. But he cons ered himself always a reporter—never | a crusader for causes nor an advocate of reforms. He told the American Society of Newspaper Editors at its last session thal he regarded the interpretive dis- | patch which @e wrote daily as not at all the reflection of the correspondent’s personal views, but as an honest ex- planation of the news as he saw it. Dick Oulahan never felt it was his duty to expose or muckrake. He sought the news and published it comprehensively, whether it affected Republicans or Democrats or any class or group. To the editorfal writers he left the task of weighing the merits of the activities of | public men. Dean of Correspondents. Every President of the United States since Grover Cleveland knew, and liked | Dick Oulahan. They all looked upon him as the natural leader of his pro- fession. For years he has been con- sidered by his colleagues as dean of the corps. To win the respect and esteem and affection of his colleagues was Oulahan’s greatest achievement his reporting, its impartiality and faith- ful interpretation of the facts, and they learned to know him privately as a gentleman of unfailing courtesy and consideration to others. There was no petty jealousy In his make-up, no un- | fair methods of competition in perennial search for news Dick Oulahen was 64 years old, but looked much younger. Many genera- tions of newspaper men came and pass- ed under his benignant eye, for always helped the cub and coun: with the younger men as quicki with the veterans. His was a handsome figure and his dignified bearing and tactful spokesmanship in the always difficult relations of the Government and the press will long be remembered as a distinct contribution to the ideals fourth estate |and ethics of the Submerged Seif. There was a modesty about Oulahan | which the dramatist might pass by | s too unspectacular. For he knew how | to submerge himself.

Deeply moved, he said “Gentlemen, a great figure in American public life has passed away.” And so today the phrase might be repeated—for it 1s no less true of this representative of journalism.

Prewitt, 63-year-old | son of the blue grass, ruled today in a vigorous “enunciation of editorial at- tacks on courts that neither John T. Moutoux nor any other reporter from | the Knox Tenn., News-Sentinel | could ever sit’ in Montgomery Gircuit | Court as long as he is judge ‘ The newspaper, commenting editori- ally on the recent trial of W. B. Jones, Harlan County mine union secretary, said, in part: “So long as our courts permit them- selves to be the stage for tirades of | political and social prejudice they will | not obtain full confidence of those who believe in even-handed justice.” Banned Reports to Paper. When Moutoux arrived Thursday to report the trial of Willlam Hightower, president of the Evarts local union of which Jones was secretary, Judge Pre- | witt ruled he could sit in court as a | representative of the United Press, but | could not send special dispatches to the News-Sentinel | Then Special Prosecutor J. B. Snyder | of Harlan said Moutoux's presence was | “odious” to the Commonwealth’s con- duct of the Hightower trial, and pre- sented an affidavit that Moutoux had made remarks derogatory to the court and the Commonwealth’s counsel in conversations with him. Upon Snyder's complaint, Commonwealth’s Attorney | W. C. Hamilton asked the court for a ruling barring Moutoux from court dur- ing the Hightower trial. Hearing on | this has been set for Monday night. The Moutoux case came up again to- day with prasentation by attorn the reporter and th: N Sentinel of a motion demanding expansion of Snyder’s complaint as to 5 ctances of the conversations Hearing Monday Night. This motion was overruled, but the court said he would go on With the hearing Monday night “I want to hear what Mr. Snyder has to sav.” Judge Prewitt said. “Then I may find Moutoux in contempt of this court.” Judge Prewitt said it “was cvidence gh for me to bar Moutoux from this that the News Sentin-l claimed him as their representative.” The court displayed Wednesday’s issue of th News Sentinel. An editorial on the frent pag> said it had no apology to make to Judge Prewitt and ‘“does not intend to surrender its rigits to re- port and comment upen judicial pro- cedure in Judge Prewitt’s court or any cther court.” | “The editorial said Moutoux repre- sented that newspaper at the trial and raised the issue of freedom of the press printing in full the first amendment to ihe Constitution. “I've lived around here all my life and am glad we won't have yellow jour- nalism in Kentucky,” Judge Prewitt | said, and in another comment declared: “I wish the editor of the News Sertinel | lived in Kentucky. If he did, I'd have him here on a contempt charge right away. 1 believe firmly in high-class | journalism. but the newspaper is judge | 15 going to stt tn this court as long n | 'm judge.” | _ Prosecutor Snyder, in the Judge Prewitt's remarks to attorneys, sald: “The editor of this paper | Harlan, spent & day and a m‘ | wrote a hlsmrg of the county. | the kind of a fellow he 1s.” l Cites Other Papers. In saying he was “glad we don's have | yellow journalism in Kentucky* Judge Prewitt said, “I know the Louisville Courfer-Journal, the Cineinnati En- quirer and the Lexington papers wouldn't print these things.” Representing Moutoux and the News Sentinel were Paul Patterson, of Newton D. Baker's Cleveland law firm, and | william H. Townsend of Lexington, Ky., | prominent Kentucky attorney. Should Judge Prewitt find Moutoux in contempt of court at Monday night's hearing, he faces a fine as high as | $5,000 under Kentucky law and a jail sentence. Any one cited for contempt in this State can ask for a jury trial. There is no limit to the fine a jury can impose Have Reserve Witnesses. With two key witnesses in reserve for testimony Monday, the Corarada- wealth produced evidence today to sup- port its charge that Hightower, pre: dent of the miners’ union, aided in plo ting the deaths of Harlan County deputy sheriffs and mine guards. For the first time during the trial here Hightower was directly linked with | the whipping of a union miner who dug coal at the Black Mountain mine after a strike was called.
