ton to the states and local COM
munities.
And yet there are certain COM
pelling reasons why Federal &C.
ton Is necessary. Let us consider
three.
First. the record shows that In
so far as civil liberty has been en-
croached upon by public officers,
rather than by private persons,
the threat from state and local Of
ficials has been greater than that
from Federal officials. This II q
difficult assertion to prove Stats
tically. but there are certain rea-
sons why II IL 30.
For example. against the threat
offered to freedom Of the press by
Federal seditiOn act. the threat
resulting from q local ordinance
restricting the distribution Of
handbills Is minor indeed. But an
alysis of Supreme Court decisions
shows that in the collective sense
state and local statutes have en-
croached upon freedom Of the
press far more than have Federal
statutes.
Where q state or q community
is either unable or unwilling to
prevent its officers from en-
croaching upon fundamental free
doms the Federal Government has
q responsibility to step In and take
action. Indeed, the Thirteenth.
Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution place IN
express obligation upon Congress
to see that the rights protected by
these Amendments against state
action are safeguarded.
Second, logic suggests that the
high moral principles Of the whole
society be used to check the lapses
Of Maynard parts, The many and
varied components Of the moral
fiber Of the larger area give II q
strength and resiIency that can
not be matched in many Of its
parts. II IL q fact that In our ma
ton at large we have shown o
deeper understanding Of the free
way Of life and q higher regard for
civil rights than has been true In
certain Of our states and COM
munities. Should we not put that
greater national sense Of moral
responsibility 10 work In protect
ing our rightsH
Third. whether we like it or
not. civil rights difficulties have
become an international issue
which the Federal Government
must meet. The civil Rights Com

Actually the choice is not be-
tween law and no law. Much in
tolerance and discrimination are
today encouraged by law. This In
particularly true Of the many
states in which Negroes are de-
MED the right Of first-claSs citi-
Eenship through segregation laws.
Thus. II Is not true that those who
advocate protection Of civil rights
through legislation are necessarily
trying to force people to abandon
private voluntary practices to
interfere with "follCways."
Those who are opposed to civil
rights laws on the ground you
cannot legislate morality should
ponder the possibility that we have
been legislating immortality!
II II be admitted that laws may
be helpful as q means Of safe
guarding civil rights, there II stiIl
the issue whether such laws
should be local or national. with
the critics of the Truman civil
rights program insisting that only
the local community, or at most
the state, should 80 use the legisla-
tive power, Here, too, IL should be
made absolutely clear that the
Civil Rights Committee believed
the battle for civil rights must
always be fought in good part on
the local front. Accordingly. II

Rabies

Rabies is a year-around disease
which can be contracted just as
easily on Christmas day as on the
4th Of July; however, severe out
breaks often are reported In the
late winter and early spring, when
stray dogs start to roam in search
Of food and mates. Many more
cases Of rabies are seen in dogs
than in cats. But when a cat gets it,
it is apt to be more vicious than a
rabid dog. Animals which are norm
ally shy or retiring become fearless
when rabid and are apt to attack
any moving object. No area can
consider itself immune to this dis
ease. Even where there has never
been a known case of rabies, it may
be introduced by the movement of
animals from infected areas.

Northernmost French City

The earliest record of the city OF
Dunkerque, France reaches back
TO the 7th century, when the French
bishop, St. Eloi, founded a small
church there on the sand Dunes.
From these surroundings Bunker
que took it's name, which freely
translated e a 1.-The church
among the dunes" Historically, the
city's importance has been in its
strategic location as the northern.
most French city, and, next to
Calais. the nearest one to the Eng
lish coast. In the past these factors
hav1 made it a vital French de-
tense center, and the essential
prize of any would-be conqueror Of
Flanders.

Tree-Killing Insects

Some insects, no larger than the
width of lead in a pencil, can kill
a tree by poisoning" These are
species of sucking insects. In suck
ing juices from a tree, they inject
an engine into a trees vascular
system or sap stream. The engine
acts as a catalyst, making the
juices digestible for the insect. In
some cases-notably the golden
oak scale, obscure scale of oak,
scurfy scale of elm and apple, and
the pine twig aphid and pine needle
aphid which attack pines - the
engine becomes a direct toxin or
poison. In others, a secondary
chemical action may produce the
toxin.
