Woman Jurors Not Assured

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-The
United States Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals says it would place too great
a strain on the Constitution to rule
that men are entitled to have
women on juries.

House Group Moves
TO Prevent FiIibuster
On Home Rule Bill

The requested special order from
the House Rules Committee for
action on the bill for limited Dis
trict home rule is designed to fore
stall a House filibuster to kill the
bill. 1t was made clear today.
The Rules Committee, under plans
announced late yesterday, will grant
hearing on the bill and the re-
quested rule at 1890 am. Monday
Ordinarily, there can be nothing
like a Senate talkfest filibuster in
the House because of its much more
rigid rules. But this could, and has,
happened on city legislation taken
up on District Days"
Logjam of Bills.
In earlier years, important mu-
nicipal legislation would come up
for action on District Day, only to
be shelved at the end of the dav
because Of parliamentary tricks de-
laying a final vote. If pending busi-
ness is not disposed OF on District
Days, the whole matter goes over
two weeks, to the next District Day,
Such procedure could be fatal
to a bill during the inevitable log
jam OF bills at the closing days of
Congress.
The special rule sought by the
home rule sponsors would allow a
reasonable number of hours of gen.
eral debate to be divided between
proponents and opponents of the
bill-say two or four hours. This
would be followed by reading of
the bill for amendments, permitting
any member proposing or opposing
change to speak for five minutes.
This amendment process alone could
consume more than one day of
House session.
Therefore, even under the special
rule sought, which would prevent
points of order on technical grounds
it might require from one to three
days to get final vote on the bill.
Charter Could Be Stymied.
Monday is the next District day.
The District charter bill would come
up at that time, but without a spe-
cial order from the Rules Committee
it could easily be stymied by parlia-
mentary tricks.
For instance, on District day, any
one recognized may speak for a full
hour. An opposition spokesman
also may have the same time. And,
alternating between pros and cons,
it would not take many speakers,
using a full hour each, to kill the
whole day. If there was no final
vote, the whole issue would be post
poned for two weeks.
If the desired rule is granted
Monday-and there is hope for it
because its general principle is spon-
sored by Speaker Martin-both sides
will be given fair chance to con-
vince the House. And both sides
will have a full chance as to amend
ments.
But if final action could not be
taken in one day, the charter bill
would continue to be the pending
House business the next day, or the
next.
Sponsors Of the legislation are
predicting favorable action by the
House.

fee Elwell, of East Hebron, N. H.,
and Boston, reiterated the need for
zealously guarding the democratic
privileges of free assembly and free
dom of worship, which Christian
Scientists, she said, were exercising
today in annual meeting.
Individuals and nations can no long
er remain isolationist in thought OF
action, Mrs. Elwell commented
Selfishness she said, gives place
to unselfishness, lethargy and mac
ton are superseded by the prompt
response to brothers need.
Such action" she said, "con-
Stitutes democracy in action"
In the Clerks report, the broad
ening eXpanse of Christian Science
activities throughout the world was
evidenced. In Germany and Japan,
he said, groups of Christian Scient-
lists with occupation forces are hold
ing services. The Christian Science
church in Tokyo has been reestab-
lished, he disclosed, with Reading
Room and Sunday School.
At Pearl Harbor, and on the is
lands of Guam and Okinawa, Christ
ian Science services are held in Navy
chapels, the Clerk reported. Tenn
porary aid is being given to Christ
ian Scientists living in 81 hard
pressed countries, he pointed out.
Other widespread activities of
The Mother Church were reported
by the Clerk, such as the supply
ing of food, literature, books, and
clothing to Germany, and the set
ting up of a network of joint well
fare committees through which sup
plies can be channeled to displaced
persons and isolated students.
