Publisher's Appeal Denied by Court
Erie paper publisher Donaducy, of the Town Cri ex, will be sent to Allegheny county prison for a three months to one year sentence after the U S Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal. Justice Black dissented, calling the denial a blow to press freedom. The conviction stemmed from a September 1953 article titled Sleuth Focuses Binoculars on Couple in Back Seat detailing a divorce dispute.

Frank Weatherby and Frank T. Davis were fined $50 for high speed boat operation. Rep Robert Kent proposes a bill to allow higher power boats in portions of the lake, pending Ohio approval.
