Bar President Would Curb
Users Of Fifth Amendment
BY the Assoeiassd Press

ATLANTA, Ca, Mar. A.
Citizens who invoked the Fifth
Amendment to avoid self-in-
elimination should not be al
lowed to teach, practice law or
work for the Government, the
president Of the American Bar
Association asserted yesterday.
Arriving for q southern re-
gional meeting of the associa-
ton, william j. Jameson Of
Billings, Mont, suggested a
means for congressional commit
tees to get around the amend
ment.
He said legislation might be
passed which would compel citi-
zens to testify at congressional
hearings by granting them i'm
munity from prosecution.
"Let us make certain that all
accused, including Communists,
have a fair trial or hearing. but
let us not condemn as witch
hunting all efforts to rid our
Government. our profession and
our schools Of the disciples Of
communism. :" Mr.. Jameson
said.

He said he had a feeling that
in some areas postmasters were
not carrying out the department

mail delivery tests a year, and
that 1t probably had not been

Danville, Va, called the Danville
Register newspaper Office to find
out who was Secretary of the Air

customers and the next week
somebody stole $1,000 worth of
merchandise from a hardware
store. A rabbit attacked q
moving car on the outskirts OF
Nashville. And the Mayor

city administrators to sit alone
in their Offices 80 minutes every
day and just think.

gave odd explanations.
