Two Freedoms There will be widespread admir- ation for the courage of Miss Marie Torre, a writer for the New York Herald Tribune who went to jail for ten daysrather than divulge the Name of the person who had told her that a certain Hollywood actress “had an inferiority complex, could not make up her mind on anything was terribly fat”. ; The jail sentence was for con- tempt of court. Miss Torre’s defence was that under the Constitutional ‘guarantee of freedom of the press she was not required to answer the question put to her by the presiding judge. Incidentally, the paper for which she works has supported her stand, and that speaks well for it. troiki has been - However, there.are, as the judge- pointed out, other rights besides freedom of| the press. One of these is the right of a person who thinks he has been libelled to confront his accuser in court. This is the- right that was ‘denied the actress by Miss Torre's réfusal to answer a question. It would never do for a person who peddles second-hand gossip, libellous or otherwise, to be allowed -to hide behind the freedom of, the press. In this case, the allezed harmful state- ment does not appear to have been malicious—althouzh, of course, no actress wants word to get around that. she is “terribly fat”. But the principle involved is the same as if were the statement slanderous. outrageously Deep Trenches The deepest place in the sea is the Marianna Trench, east of the Marianna Islands. in the Western Pacific. It goes down to a depth of nearly 7 miles. The existence of this trench had been known for some time. It was surveyed and measured by a group of Russian scientists who participat- ed in the “International Geophysi- cal Year” projects. The bottom of the trench was found td be flat and in places less than a mile wide. A cross wind made it hard _ to keep the ship in position, and the ‘first trawl hit the side of the _ trench instead of the bottom. All that came up was a slab of cement- like sediment without evidence—of life. The second attempt produced nothing, .as the bottom was _ not reached. After twelve hours, a third trawl. was recovered from _ the depths. As it rose out of the watef the Russians saw a mass of material One of these is the “pot-bellied” stove which, according to the Na- tional Geographic Socicty, is still very much in demand. About 60,000 are produced annually in the United States. They come from foundries in Maryland, Virginia, Georgia and Alabama. Demand for the stove is varied. It has recently been taken up by de- corators as a plant holder or as a “quaint conversation piece”. But “mostly it is used for the purpose for which it was originally intended— burning coal for warmth in lumber camps, country stores and hunting and fishing lodges. : At their 19th century peak, the -Society says, pot-bellied stoves were turned out by turers for offices, stores, schools and railroad stations. One model was called the “Station Agent”. The charcoal blazer was one of the ear- liest forms of heating. This, too is ’ coming into a new popularity for “cooking-out” purposes. The stove’s. development was slow. The chimney was invented in the 12th century. It made possible the brick and tile = i that were so widely used in France, Germany and Holland in the middle ages. Iron stoves were first made in Alsace, France, in the late 15th centupy.
