Washington, May -AP- At
torney General Jackson declared
today that in the presence e.
threats to our national prestige
and integrity our people will de-
mand increased emphasis on the
rights OF the commonV ealth.'
When public pressure develops
for priority of the security of
the state over the liberty of the
individual he told the American
Judicature Society in a prepared
address. IL is delicate task to
keep public confidence and at the
same time steer a course that will
be approved by the sober second
thought OF the nation,
The Department OF Justice, he
asserted is laboring under dual
responsibilities: TO protect the
peace and dignity of the common
wealth, and TO protect and re-
spect the rights Of individuals TO
do many OF the very things that
may be steps in the process of un-
dermining the stability OF the
commonwealth"

They I pictured as fully aware

they are not primarily angercd be-
cause they are off the board. What
they do hold against the governor
is his failure to inform them in adj

irving in the state capital that they
would not be members when the

1t is true that Broughton ANNOUNCE

afternoon papers of Wednesday, but
it is pointed out that it was almost
imperative for board members liv-

Washington, June % (AP) -
House leaders today ordered Il ten
day delay in consideration Of a bill
to defer military training of men
who will be % or older next Tues
day. AS a result, the 28-year olds
faced the possibility of induction into
the Army rather than automatic de

The postponement was decided up
on because Of the rush of Important
appropriation bills which must be
enacted before the end Of the fiscal
year Monday night and also because
numerous members Of the House
wanted to get away from Washing
ton for at least q week over the
Fourth of July.
The draft bill, now scheduled for
House debate July 8, originally was
expected TO become law by next
Tuesday. As ii passed the Senate, It
would make immediate etfectiVG
the discretionary deferment of men
who had reached their 28th birth
day on the July | next following
passage of the legislation. The House

to make the dcfcrment mandatory.
