County Attorney Stevens, in closing argument for the state, said there must be a stopping place somewhere, that if the law prohibits Sunday picture shows, where should they show? Where these should not be open violation of every other moral law.
"If," he said, "as Mr. Brand says, University students must go to Sunday shows for announcements and blocking parties for their amusement, they are picking a poor place to save their morals. There are plenty of sex matters in the modern movie than any where else." In commenting on Brand's statement that Sundays are better for sex, it comes to the point that dramatizes sex appeal is a necessity. God help us!

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1932
Mr. Steven in his opening argument, stated the state would attempt to prove that Schwain was manager of the Patee theater, that he entered with other men a case against him and that Schwain to challenge the law until stopped by an injunction or other enforcement of the law, that he did open the theater on Sunday, trying to circumvent the law, but that he would开 the theater would open, but not that they would work, that they did work on Sunday and will be paid, that he employed a sister assistant man, that he hired operators, that he defendant expects to, and will continue to do so.
Ovrille Copeman, motion picture operator at the Patee, the next witness, refused to answer on the advice of the judge the question, "Did you operate the motion picture machine on Sunday?" A court questioning it constituted having told Stevens, the county attorney, that he operated the machine.
In beginning its case, the defense stated it would attempt to prove that a picture show is as much a necessity as anything else offered. And in great discrimination against one business in favor of another was shown, in that it concerned the business of interstate commerce and the intrastate commerce, or it Knew these ques-
Charges Discrimination
Harry Frazee, the first witness for the defense, told of a conversation with County Attorney Stevein, in which Stevens said that he would arrest the managers of the theater. Stevens was asked in the context of "If a cigar was bought at Rankins on a street, you give us a warrant or arrest?"

answered. Schwahn was called to the witness
stand. He testified that the theater was open on Jan 10, and that he was present. To the question, "Did you work?" he answered, "No, more than 15 allows."
After Miss Beryl Montgomery, a student at KU, last year, testified that Mr. Schwinn tried to discourage her working, the defense rested the证。
J. H. Mitchell, justice of the peace, in his instructions to the jury said that "He should have told him that he'd be disciplined employees or servants to perform labor." Did he sell merchandise?

Illegal Practices Discussed at Annual Banquet of Medies
"A doctor in practice meets three types of people," continued Chancelor Lindley. "A small group which will understand what it means to be a doctor; a large group which is indifferent to the science part, but which is a willing supporter of it; and a third large group which does not believe in medicine but is a group to listen to 'guck' doctors."
conductor Lindley stated that the United States ranks eighteenth from the top in child mortality, and that the number of deaths is largely because of the 'quack doctors'.

New Financial Policy Hoped to Speed Up Spiral of Recovery
Reserve Banks Consider Easy Money Program
Washington, Jan. 15-(UP) - An easy money policy is being quiet and cautiously inaugurated in the Federal Reserve system to encourage business recovery through the two billion dollar maximum credit contemplated by the new reconstruction finance corporation, banks will gain new resources and new confidence and will help drive business, in order to need up the spiral of recovery.
The psychological factor is being stressed by authorities here. If the banks feel that easier money will be more willing to extend their commercial loans, and enable business to speed up. First effects of the changed attitude have already been registered in the market. New York stock markets this week.
Reduces Bill Rate
The first act toward easier money was the reduction of the bill rate by the New York state law. This is a technical maneuver designed to encourage banks to pass more paper on to the Federal Reserve system and get it in additional form.
Millions of dollars can be made available in this way if the banks choose to utilize the opportunity. Pressure has been growing on the Federal Reserve board to leach its facilities. Some of the officials of the New York Fed are seeking to have felt the reserve board was too drastically restricting credit.
Numerous economists have declared that the board has stranded business by too rubbish a deflation policy. The board has opposed many suggestions as constituting inflation. It has denied it was forcing deflation and has insisted that the bank itself has contributed by the banks themselves be re-training to make loans.
Has Sufficient Available Credit
The amount of the total reserve bank credit payout out is about $1,900,000 more than double what it was a year ago. This amount in excess reserve which can be used if needed to provide about $3,500,000,000. This can be expended in business activity in 10 or 15 to 1. It offered as the answer to any charge system has not sufficient credit available.
Although confident of its position, there is also a new tendency to listen to critics and to enter on some credit areas which will influence confidence.
