Rebuffed By Court Once Solon To Try Again To Halt Red Mail
Washington reports that Nebraska congressman Rep Glenn Cunningham plans to reintroduce a law to curb foreign Communist propaganda mail after the Supreme Court struck down the 1962 Red Mail statute 8 0. Justice Brennan notes that eliminating subsidies cannot justify restricting First Amendment rights. Cunningham argues to shield postal service from propaganda while Congress members vow continued action.

Assessment Suit Hearing Delayed in Monongalia Case
The West Virginia Supreme Court postponed a hearing until June 8 on whether State Tax Commissioner G Thomas Battle should be directed to penalize the Monongalia County court by 4551 dollars. The delay came at the request of both sides’ attorneys. The Action for Better Schools Committee argues the county court failed to keep assessments at required levels, keeping Class II evaluations at 45.6 percent of actual value against a 47 percent standard, costing the county $4,551 in tax revenue. The committee claims both the county court and the county assessor ignored the law, while the school board and Battle indicated they did not intend to press the matter.
