Bill Of Rights

Endorsed By
More Than 400
Prominent
Citizens
MEETING TO BE HELD
IN NEW YORK JULY 1917

New York - More than 400
prominent Americans to date
have announced their sponshor-
ship of the Bill of Rights Con-
ference, July 1917, in the Henry
Hudson Hotel, New York City,
Clark Foreman, executive direc-
tor reported yesterday.
Scores of Americans from all
walks of life. added Mr.. Fore
man, write in daily to signify
their support.
The Conference was called to
examine and protest present
infringements on the Bill of
Rights and reaffirm our tradi-
tional liberties of speech, press,
pulpit and political advocacy"
Paul ]. Kern, former New York
City Civil Service Commissioner,
is acting chairman.
In face of the unprecedented
series of violations of civil Ii
berties, such a response is the
best demonstrable proof that all
Americans, regardless of their
personal political views, are ca
ger and ready to defend the
basic freedom of our citizens"
declared Mr.. Foreman.
This he asserted, is 'the m ost
important fact of American po-
litical life today"
For him major evidence of
this is the Indignant protest"
in many parts of the country
against the practices and poll
cies of Americans secret police
agency, the F. B. l." and the
rising demands for investigations
of the F. B. l. and for the re-
moval of Attorney General Clark.
With this, the Conference lea
der coupled increasing protests
and actions against the southern
hood-men, the censors of poll
teal doctrine, the oath-creators
and hysteria-makers
AS proof of this prevailing at
titude, Mr.. Foreman told of q
leading Southern woman who was
sponsoring the Conference as an
expression of opposition to the
Ku KluX Klan.
She requested In the interest
of safety that her name be with
held from the sponsors list. "The

its people, "Mr. Clark said, adj
ding:
"But the goal has not been
reached. Much remaink to be
done, which can be done. 1t is
clear that the present civil rights
statutes do not represent the full
extent of the congressional power.
1t IS equally clear that there is
a real need for broadening of the
statutes, not necessarily to the
fullest extent legally possible, but
at least to overcome the short
comlEgs of tn existing laws
AS an example of how the Su-
preme Court has construed civil
rights statutes Mr.. Clark cited
the Screws case. The Screws
case was an appeal from a con
viction which the Justice Depart
ment obtained against a Georgia
Sheriff and his deputy, Justice
William o. Douglas termed the
the case "a shocking and revolt
ing episode in law enforcement"
The officers brutally murdered
young colored prisoner whom
they had arrested on a trumped-
up charge. They were convict
ed under section 242, title 18,
United States Code.
The Supreme Court reversed
the lower courts and orderd
NV trial. Four separate opinions
were written, in no ONE of which
did more than four judges agree.
The confusion and uncertainty
from the courts disposi-
ton of the case made doubtful
the prosecution of future cases
under this statute.

 Two titans of coliege gcetball, Michigan and Notre Dame, pa. off cial visits to the Far West toTnor- row and you may ee sure every thing has been planned to make their missions as unpleasant as possible.
 Michigan engages Stanford at Palo Alto and Notre Danes Irish drop in on the Washington Huskies at Seattle.
 The Huskies can view themselves as unfortunate and the Stanfords, bless em, are at least hopeful.
 These two games merit national attention, but an encounter in Los Angeles tonight between Oregon and UCLA may prove an important factor in the Pacific Coast Confer ence Rose Bowl race.
 Rounding up the remaining games involving conference teams, California gets it's first league test against once-beaten Oregon State at Portland, Southern California's potent looking Trojans have a similar date here tomorrow alter noon with Washington State, Idaho heads to the Southwest for trouble with Texas at Austin and Montana has a date with Utah State at Logan, Utah.
 The San Francisco Bay area, which Palo Alto may refer to as a suburb of the Indians farm, is pretty well steamed up on Stan ford after her 44-0 roll over Har- yard.
 Coach Marchie Schwartz has centured a prediction that the Stan- lords could upset Michigan.
 The Washington Huskies had the misfortune to choose Minnesota as a 'tune-up' game for Notre Dame score, Gophers 48, Washington 20 and why the Washington ath- letic brass goes for schedule like that is a mystery.
 The Oregon-UCLA game looks like real test for both teams.

AT TOP IN NATL.
 LEAG. RACE
By RALPH RIDDEN

The Brooklyn Dodgers held the upper hand in the Nation Leagues pennant scrap today while the American Leagues scramble re- ma.ned dead heat between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.
 Brooklyn, preseason favorite tc cop the Nationals bunting, roared into the lead yesterday by mopping up the 1948 kingpin Boston Braves 9-2 and SO, while the St. Louis Cardinals lost again to the Pitts burgh Pirates, 7-2.
 The Dodgers killing in Boston boosted the Brooks half a game ahead of the Cardinals. Brooklyn has two games 7left to play with the third place Phils in Philadelphia while the Cards have three to go with the last place Cubs in Chi cage.
 While the Dodgers ascended to the top of the National League, rain kept the Red sox and Tanks tied for blue ribbon honors in the American League.
 New York's game with the Phila- delphia Athletics in the Stadium was rained out as was the en- counter Between the Red Sox and the last place Senators in Wash inpton.
 The two American League con tenders are scheduled to play oil their washed out games today.
 Brooklyn had no trouble in whip ping the Braves yesterday.
 Warren Spahn, the Nationals only 2O-game winner, gave Preacher Roe, crafty Brooklyn letthander, a run for his money for three in- nings in the first game.
 Tied, 0-0, going into the fourth the Dodgers ripped Spahn for five runs. Duke Snider drove home the first three with his 23rd home run
 The nightcap was settled before Sibby Sisti stepped up to open Bos- tons half of the first inning. The Dodgers whaled into Johnny iSain Boston's 1948 pennant pinup boy in their half of the first, scoring five runs
 Don Newcombe's victory was his 17th of the season.
 Little Murry Dickson, once be- loved member of the Cardinal pitching staff, spiked his former mates pennant hopes.
 Dickson hurled a brilliant six hitter while the Pirates banged Gerry Staley, Howie Pollet and Ted Wilks for nine blows. It was Dick sons fifth triumph of the year over the Cards.
 The Pirates broke II tie with a four run rally in the sixth.
 The Cleveland Indians trounced the Chicago White Sox, 8-3, in the only other game played in either league.
