March 8 (jB Circuit Judge Ira A. Hutchinson today declared unconstitution al and a violation of freedom of the press the provision of Florida law requiring campaign contribu tions and expenditures to be made through official treasurers. He said the requirement that expenditures be authorized by a campaign treasurer is equivalent to the ancient custom of submit ting material to be printed to an official' with authority to stamp an imprimatur (let it be printed) on it "It was the evil results made manifest in England and France of having to submit to an imprimatur and to censors that prompted the placing in the federal constitution and in state constitutions of the provision guaranteeing li- erty of speech and of the press," he wrote in his opinion.

Written Order Needed "The first section of the statute under question provides that no expense shall be incurred by any person in aid or behalf of a candidate except upon written order of a campaign treasurer, etc! The purchase of a postcard to write to a friend, making pay ment for a telegram, paying a printer to print posters announcing a meeting, hiring a hall in which to speak one's conviction ia an effort to attract others to one he believes to be worthy of their suffrage, the expression of one's views in a signed advertisement in a newspaper none of these things may be done without subjecting oneself to criminal prosecution unless a written order is first procured of one with the pow er of an imprimatur. "In other words, without such approval the publication is criminal; with it, it becomes lawful." Publisher Asktd Test The suit was brought by Wal lace B. Finlay, publisher of the County Record of Blountstown. He asked if he might accept pay ment for political advertising from anyone but a campaign treasurer. if an individual citizen could buy newspaper space to express views on a candidate's qualifications, if he could give or sell such space.

and if ne had the right to air his own views in a paper other than the record and if he could mail and distribute his paper if it con tained his views on a candidate. Judge Hutchison answered "yes" to all the questions, He said: the, "questioned law. as to the acts and particulars raise by said questions, is in conflict with and repugnat to the provisions of the constitution guaranteeing liberty of speech and the Representatives of Attorney General Richard Ervin. defendant in the suit, declared freedom of the press was not involved. They said the law was designed to act as a curb on those who seek to buy into public office." Ervin was not immediately available to comment on whether the decision will be appealed.

Planned Book Having met the royal Norweg ian family, she said, "I decided to do something about it, I decided I would go to Norway and get material so I could write a book about Norwegian children." She said British officials had tried to make it possible for her to stay over in London for a day but that no plane transportation was available for today. So, she said, she had to take a seat "open on the flight that reached Idlewild Airport this morning." Husband in Lauderdale After talking with newsmen, Mrs Speck telephoned her husband at the Sea Isle Hotel, Fort Lauder dale, Fla. Reached by phone at Fort Lauderdale, Speck said he was very much puzzled by the whole He said the emergency passport was granted because there "was some confusion about her birth certficate."

Speck said their two children, a boy, seven and a girl, four, were recovering from measles and were with, mm at Fort Lauderdale. the presidential follies were on. But times are changing a little bit. One of the stellar performers in the Great Show this year has discarded buttons as the chief means of spreading his named around.

Instead, he is using fur. This, of course, is Estes Kefauver, the Tennessee senator, whose political symbol is a coon-skin cap. I personally hate to see a nice little fellow like a coon exposed to the cruelties of politics, and especially when the coon isn't going to get anything out of it. The rac London and denied British authorities forced her to leave England yesterday. Mrs.

Speck, 35, the mother of two young children, said she is the wife of David J. Speck, owner of an automobile agency in Upper Darby, Pa. Only Good Would Come Of That And when Kefauver started roaming around the state, doing a little promising and other kinds of electioneering, old Boss Crump flared up like the head rooster who is seeing a young upstart wander ing around his henhouse. Boss calmed a bit, and then he roared, calculating a joke to deride Kefauver, that this fellow was nothing but "President Truman's pet coon. Kaccaans coon is an honest little animal, usually quiet, willing to work for his food, intelligent.

He just doesn't fit in politics. The man to blame for dragging the innocent little coon out of the woods and sticking his hide on politicians' heads is Boss Crump of Memphis, Tennessee. Boss is an old cotton chopper who grew up to be the man to see in Tennessee. Well, a few years ago, Kefauver decided to run for the senate, and that meant he had to run against one of Boss Crump's boys. But now, the same coon-skin cap which helped to elect Kefauver is about to get him in trouble.

It is rumored that the Humane Society is mad at the senator because all va'a ul ureui. This is an interesting political development. The Humane So ciety could get mad enough at the Kefauver Democrats to side with the Republicans, and only good could come of this. If there is any thing the Republicans need, it is little humaneness, and maybe med a club, using these coon skins as their symbol. These fellows are going to try to spread this idea to all the Kappa Sigma fraternities across the country.

More coon skins are needed here for more caps and a lady out at the Humane Society in Miami told me that she has some coons at her place. But they are live, hap py coons, she said, and the first fraternity brother she catches slinking around trying to grab one of them will be greeted by a shot gun blast. I think the lady makes more sense than anybody involved in this story. The coon has done nothing to deserve getting mixed up in politics. I feel very sorry for all the iqjhe country.

While executive in charge of Vanderbilt Clinic at the Columbia Presbyterian Me dical Center, he was elected pre sident of the New York State Hos Dital Association, a position he held for 11 years." "Broward General Hospital and the community are fortunate to have attracted to Fort Lauderdale an administrator with the back ground and experience possessed by Dr.

For: the first six months he is to receive $3,750. If his work proves satisfactory, the board indicated it would increase his salary to 000 annually.4 Meanwhile, a group headed by the Fort Lauderdale Ministerial Association is to meet here tomor row to discuss the possibility of taking over the hospital.

And they hit on the idea that since they were members of the Kappa Sigma faternity, as was Kefauver, then maybe they should start a Kappa Sigma movement for Kefauver and get some coon-skin caps.
