New Jersey Democrats
Favor Civil Rights Plank

NEPTUNE, N. j., June 16.-New
Jerseys 80 delegates will go to the
Democratic National Convention
committed to strong civil rights
plank in the party platform.
This. in effect, is a slap at pres
idential aspirations of Senator
Russell of Georgia, a leading OPP
ponent of Federal civil rights leg
iSlation, which looms as a major
controversy at the convention.
The New Jersey delegation
then voted to go to the conven-
ton uninstructed for any par
ticular candidate.
Archibald S. Alexander, candi-
date for the Senate from New
Jersey. offered the resolution on
policy which he said stemmed
from discussion of Senator Rus
sells efforts to obtain the presi-
Dental nomination.
The Truman administrations
foreign policy was Endorsed In the
resolution, which also favored
easing present Senate rules that
make it difficult to halt unlim-
tied debate and filibusters.
Mr.. Alexander. former Under
secretary of the Army. was one
of the leaders in the 1948 conven-
ton for a civil rights plank that
rejected any compromise with
Southern opinion on the contro-
versial issue. Senator Russell con-
tends that civil rights legislation
should come from individual
States. rather than the Federal
Government.

Any such cuts, he emphasized

For the first time. the general

without trying to get to their jobs.
The road carries a two-way total
of about 100000 daily riders, the
vast majority commuters who live
on Long Island and work in New
York.
The New York Board of Trans
portation had every available
piece of equipment standing by"
at key points in Queens to pick up
passengers who reached outlying
areas by bus and auto.
Meanwhile, the Long Island said
that company and union repre-
sentativeS had scheduled a meet
ing with Federal mediator.
Although the strike mad been
rumored for the last few weeks, it
caught many commuters by sur
prise. It stems from the applica-
ton of the national railroad
agreement of May % to the Long
Island.
A union official said about $50
engineers and motormen were in
volved. He said the strike action
was based on "a disagreement over
operating rules. seniority and dis
tinctions between freight and pas
senger duty"
Agreement Is Sought.
In Washington a spokesman for
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers said the Long Island
was one of 81 railroads not in
cluded in the May settlement.
But Ross Barr of the National
Mediation Board. who has been
trying to resolve differences which
led to the strike. said the walkout
"looks like q more or less wildcat
affair"
At the brotherhood's headquar-
tiers in Cleveland, Grand Chief
Engineer Percy Shields confirmed
that the Long Island was one OF
the "a and that he had authorized
the strike call.
OF the 81 there were 11-includ-
ing the Long Island-which agreed
to place their cases in mediation

Judge Ho|tzoff Gives
Dr.. Peckham' sLawyer
10 Days for Contempt
Moves for Disburment
Of Offutt as Menace
To Health of Jurists

District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff today ordered Attorney
Dorsey K. Offutt jailed for 10 days
for contempt Of court.
The charge was based on Mr..
Offutt's conduct while serving as
defense counsel in the abortion
trial of DR.. Henry L. Peckham, jr.
Judge Holtzoff commented: IF
we had many such members of
the bar, the health and longevity
Of trial judges might be seriously
impaired"
The action came just after the
jury of 10 men and two women
left the courtroom to begin DELHI
Grating the abortion case.
Suggests Disbarment.
Judge Holtzoff declared:
81 also hereby call the matter
to the attention of the Commit
tee Of Admissions and Grievances
in the urgent hope that the COM
mittee will take immediate and
energetic steps to purge the bar
of the unworthy and unethical
methods used by this unworthy
member.
THE fact that he has not been
precluded from pursuing them
has become a reflection on the
legal profession and thorn in
the administration of justice. I
hope that in the future no Judge
will be subjected to the ordeal
of having this person try a case
before him. If we had many such
members Of the bar, the health
and longevity of trial judges
might be seriously impaired.
Fortunately. the ranks of the
bar of the District of Columbia are
singularly free from unworthy
members. This is all the more
reason why efforts should be made
to maintain it on high level"
Repeated Warnings Noted.
"Under our system of law"
Judge Holtzoff said, every de-
PENDANT is entitled to the effective
aid and assistance Of counsel. Full
leeway must be given to the men,
bers Of the bar for the exercise of
that right. Some allowance must
even be made for an occasional
lapse or minor transgression in
the excess of zeal arising in the
heat Of advocacy. On the other
hand, the task of counsel must be
performed within the bounds of
decency and within the limits of
ethical conduct"
Judge Holtzof added:
In this case, throughout this
trial. Dorsey K. Offutt, counsel
for the defendant. has been re-
Ipeatedly guilty of contumacious,
contemptuous and unethical con-
duct. He was warned by the
court. time and time again. He
lis not now being taken unawares.
He did not heed any of the many
warnings or admonitions that he
received from this court"
The 44-year-old DR.. Peckham
is accused of performing two il
legal operations. The complain
ant is a 26-year-old former wom-
an Marine. An indictment
charged DR.. Peckham of perform
ing one illegal operation on the
complainant May 2. 1851, and a
second operation on January 10
of this year.
The case was prosecuted by As

Samuel H. Randolph, 40, of 80

18th, after a lingering illness. A
lifelong resident, the popular
Sammy was the youngest son of
the late Rev James R. and Mrs.
Louise Henry Randolph, early
Medford pioneers. Rev. Randolph
was an early Pastor at Shiloh.
Sammy was most versatile mu-
sician. He could arrange, COM
pose, and he could play trumpet,
violin and piano. Music was in
deed one of Sammy's greatest in
spirations, pleasures and loves.
1t had lifted him above the
misery, and almost crippling
clutches Of infantile paralysis
which he suffered as a boy. He
spent most Of his boyhood with
cart and crutches. It was a
great moment when he finally
mastered music and he became
one of the outstanding first trum-
pet players in New England. ap-
pearing with Bobby Holmes and
other bands and artists. 1t was
his hope to soon establish his
one Orchestra. But when recent
illness stopped his music, Sammy
knew that his work was done.
Services were held this week,
Wednesday at Shiloh Baptist
Church, Rev. Phillips, Pastor. He
leaves to mourn two older broth
ers. Richard Randolph of Med
ford, DR.. Clifton Randolph of
New York, and other relatives,
and a host of friends.
