LIMITATIONS ON FREE SPEECH
t * The U. 8. Supreme Court pointed out in a de-
cision Monday that speech is free, but that certain
jJ well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech
. do not fall under this constitutional protection. The
decision grew out of a case in Massachusetts where-
* tn a member of the sect known as Live Jehovah s wit-
ness was convicted of eun-ing a City marshal
J* Early day Texans discovered that speech was free
until they made some personal remarks reflecting on
the ancestry of another Individual, and that this
unwise speech was anything but free Now the Supreme
Court has given official recognition to this restric-
tion of speech

nils sad truth Is perhaps the best commentary that i fense traffic
can be made on the Guthrie case. The Guthrie case
may not have received the attention it deserves, but
it Ls cause celebre m Washington
Robert R Oythrie ls a hard-boiled merchant from
Paducah. Ky , and at one time was a large stockhold-
er in White Sewing Machine He sold his slock and
left his store, however to work in Washington as a
defense official In the reorganization of OPM which
resulted in creation of WPB Guthrie ended up as a
deputy chief of industry branches, of which there
were three serving,under Philip Reed, former Gener-
al Electric executive
Guthrie was ambitious Furthermore, he believed in
all-out production for war and he did not believe In
buslne8s-a"-usual. With hammer and tongs he start- .
ed after the industries under ills supervision His
responsibility was durable goods- - radios aaid refrig-
erators. wool, textiles, carpets and a few others His
job was to get all these industries converted to war
production just as fast as possible That, apparently,
was his undoing The industries screamed they were
being persecuted by Guthrie. Authority was taken
away from him until he ended up as chief of a minor
branch, clothing and textiles Fed up. he resigned j
