stitution that the Senate committee
knows where to start. In the south
sharecroppers on strike for wages OF
S1.50 a day suffer the most outrageous
violations of the civil rights granted
them in the Constitution. Those vio-
lations they have come to accept as a
matter of course.
In the areas where great steel mills
belch forth their smoke into the hearts
and homes Of steel workers, company
police beat, ever kill, workers who
evince an interest in a labor union in
order to be able to feed their families
and maybe send their Oldest kid to
high school instead of on the road as
a bum.
There seems to be two constitutions.
The Supreme Court guards one well.
The Senate Of the United States is 60
ing to investigate to find out what has
happened to the other one.

ened workers in a nearby field and
no proof was presented that Benson
was even in the immediate locality at
the time. On the other hand, there is
evidence Of the actual participation Of
Peace Officers in acts Of lawless vio-
lence and intimidation"
Mr.. Myers expressed qualification
that a special investigator from the
United States Department Of Justice
has been sent to ascertain whether
there have been any violations OF fed
eral laws. He pointed out, however,
that such federal laws as might be in
volved covered a limited field, such as
peonage, kidnapping across state lines,
etc, so that the present Federal in
quiry, as l understand it, is not de-
signed in its nature to determine all
the facts with reference to the broader
guarantees Of civil liberties, freedom OF
speech, press, and assembly, which are
principally the responsibility Of the
State OF Arkansas
u was gratified over the assurance
that there are outstanding citizens in
all these communities who deplore re-
sorts to violence or intimidation from
any source"
MI. Meyers called attention to the
fact that the Social Ideals Of the
Churches adopted by official represen-
tatives Of twenty-six Protestant de-
nominations, as we'll as the pronounce
ments OF Catholic and Jewish bodies,
call for freedom OF speech, press, and
assemblage, and the right OF workers
as well as employers to organize and
bargain collectively. He added that all
political parties have also declared that
they stand for these basic principles
OF our American democracy.

THERE SEEMS TO BE
TWO CONSTITUTIONS
The Supreme Court Guards One
Well.
The Other One, The Bill of Rights
Discarded.
BY HENRY ION.
Federated Press

WASHINGTON (FP)-Black robes
neatly tucked away, nine justices OF the
United States Supreme Court have shut
their legal tones and taken themselves
to various corners of the world to rest.
The labor Of unfolding the constitu-
ton will not rest on their bowed shout
ders again until the fall.
As the nine old gentlemen scatter,
the Senate, by way OF comment on the
success OF their labor in unfolding the
venerable document, passed without
debate the LaFollette resolution to in
vestigate violations OF civil liberties.
Preliminary testimony before a Senate
subcommittee showed the crying need
for such an Investigation.
So diligently has the Supreme Court
upheld the constitution against all at
tackers that the Senate needs must
investigate to find those responsible for
the widespread violations OF that sec
ton known as the Bill of Rights.
Students of history will remember
that the Bill OF Rights, fashioned after
the French Declaration of the Rights
OF Man, consists OF the first ten amend
ments to the Constitution providing for
guarantees of personal liberties. Fore
fathers, representing landed and man
ufacturing interests, who wrote the
venerable document, tried to get it rat
flied by the states without those guar
antccs. When backwoodsmen rose on
their hind legs the forefathers hastily
said, "All right, take these ten amend
ments.' Only then did the states agree
to ratify the new Constitution.
The Supreme Court has done right
well by the first part OF the Constitu-
ton. No measure delegating to the
President the duties of Congress has
been allowed to slip past its eagle eye.
Nothing impairing the sacred rights to
profits, read into the Constitution by
learned gentlemen such as Roger
fancy and John Marshall, early chief
justices, has by mistake won the ap-
proval CT the Mystic Nine. But that
other Constitution, those precious
guarantees to personal liberty without
which the backwoodsmen of 1889 re-
fused 10 consider ratification, that Bill
Of Rights seems to have slipped down
the drain and become muddied on the
way.
One Of those amendm snts reading
mo person shall be deprived Of life.

tween third and home, the other be-
tween second and third. Both base
runners had a sweet time lodging
around, but dropped balls gave them a
rest until catcher Atkins who engi-
neered the whole thing, overthrow third
allowing both runners to score.
This reminds me Of "Kibbie" Sprang-
er who got himself in the same jam in
the Mines League, Anode-M ontana.
Power game in 1927. "Kibbie" was
chased back and forth on the base
line, until he looked like the %proverbial
Big Bad Wolf, with his tongue hang
ing out. Finally either from despera-
ton or exhaustion, he reached in the
air, pulled down the peg that was to
trap him, then touched himself on the
chest with the bali, and with the ac-
companying gesture, yelled You're
out" Bill McGonigle tells this one,
perhaps you'll recall the incident.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-10-12

Guy Lombardo and his brothers buisly occupied at the Roosevelt Grille, wait all week for the op- portunity to play pinochle Sunday evening at their parents Connecti- cut farm. Eddie Cantor's favorite fireside pastime is trying out comic situations on Mrs. Ida Cantor and the five girls. If the jury of six laugh, the joke stays in the script if they make 8 face, out it goes! Even when he's relaxing, Eddie still worksl Red Nichols swings"

Dick Powell, the honeymoon ing bridegroom from Hollywood, was all set to appear on Kate Smiths BandwagOn show as Q guest star-an eminently satis- factory arrangement for every one concerned, since Dicks soup sponsor is friendly with Kate's chain store packers. But two days before, it was discovered that an old contract placed his bride, Joan Blondeil, at the service of Rudy Valee's sponsors whenever she was to have been in New York. Joan, therefore, had been automatically booked into the Valee broadcast which is on N. B. c. exactly the same hour as Kate Smiths c. B. S. show. Could bride and bridegroom be placed in direct competition with each other? Unthinkable! So Dick, being a conscientious fellow, called up Kate Smith and explained his predicament. Kate settled mat ters nicely. That's all right, Dick" she laughingly said, "just forget about our 8 o'clock date. Far be 1t from me to break up . honeymoon"

| at home too-but usually, it's the little backgammon cup that he swings with his good right arm when he and Mrs. Red get together for the customary evening game.
 Kate Smith spends every
 spare minute over her stove
 cooking and inventing new re-
 cipes, or arranging her new book
 shelves. George Burns and
 GHacie Allen lead the family
 life. Hollywood celebrities are
 frequent vsiitOrs-but little Sam
 dra and ROnny Burns usually
 hold the spotlight. Nelson Eddy carries his work home. He records his own rehearsals and then plays them back to detect possible flaws. He entertains only very infrequently.
 Rupert Hughes, narrator of the Caravan shows, spends his evenings workings. His Hollywood StuSy boasts four desks and 18,000 books. When he isn't writing at one desk, he's writing at another. Morton Downey's wife, the beautiful Bar bara Bennett, his four children and the pup, insist on Irish ballads. Everybody knows the Dublin reper- toire by heart now but it makes no difference-each evening, up at the Downey Connecticut farm, Morton goes through the paces for his au- dience of six.
 Frances LangfOrd can usually
 be found at home in her dark room. She's 8 candid camera addict. Practice makes experts, she says so her homework has made her a photographic auth ority. Robert Ripley prac- tically lives in only one room of his 23-roOm house at Mamar- Oneck, New York. It's his study the one spot where Bob does his drawing and research.

ZEN. LOUIS ETIENNE fEAlC1~ V TIE, SALOMON became presi. dent of the Negro republic ot Haiti in 1887. and a stamp was iss eued for him immediately. But a rebellion broke out soon after, and Solomon was forced to flee to Cuba.
 The new party in power found TO money in the Haitian treasury and so had to economize even to the use of the old postage stamps showing the portrait of the de. posed General Solomon. At first this seemed unpatriotic to the new regime, but a way out was found i An order was issued that all mail carrying the Solomon stamp would be recognized for postage by the new government only if the stamp were placed upside down If a letter was found with the stamp upright. the receiver had to pay double postage as a fine for the sender's neglect.
