Senate Group Is Told
OF Threats to Riuhts

ular ideas are projected or dis
cussed."
Roy wilkins, executive secre-
tary Of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People. testified that in no area
has constitutional freedom been
$50 seriously eroded' as in the
denial of the civil rights OF
Negro citizens. He admitted sig
nificant progress has been made
in recent years but insisted that
Throughout the country Negroes
still are denied full citizenship
rights in varying degrees. He
said Negroes have been intimi-
dated in the South for seeking
compliance with the Supreme
Court decision on school integra-
ton and pointed out examples.
Speaking for veterans. Donald
IR. Wilson, past national COM
Imander of the American Legion,
defended congressional commit
tees against criticism directed at
their security Investigations. He
declared that witnesses. while
Iprating about the sanctity and
privacy Of their persona
Thoughts" have abused Congress
and claimed immunity "only
when asked to reveal the con-
Ispiratorial nature Of their acts
and beliefs"
Mr.. Wilson said the subcom-
mittee should determine the ex-
tent to which the people are
entitled to protection against
those who would defy the Con-
Igress. deceive the courts, destroy
the Government and enslave the
people while proclaiming that
the Constitution prohibits their
being unmasked and revealed in
their true identity"
John D. Randall of the Amer
lean Bar Association, deplored
suggestions that constitutional
rights in general are threatened
with erosion.
He said the American people
have acquired a habit of de-
pending on catch phrases and
slogans. He said general ref
erence to erosion of constitu-
tional rights Is harmful because
people reading such a general
statement might believe some
branch Of Government has failed
to perform the duty imposed on
lit by the Constitution.
Vigilance Urged
Luke E. Hart. supreme knight
of the knights of Columbus,
told the subcommittee he be-
lieved fraternal citizens would
urge on Congress unrelaxed
vigilance against communism.
THE fraternal citizens would
warn against giving undue at
Itention or weight to the alarmed
cries of clever phrase-makers,
who find new evidence of what
they call the inside erosion of
our rights whenever perjurer
or a traitor is punished for his
crime" Mr.. Hart said. His
statement was read by Joseph F.
Lamb, supreme secretary.
In an opening statement
Chairman Hennings said many
thoughtful Americans have be-
come concerned over a number
of problem areas" in connec-
ton with constitutional rights.
It is to these areas Of possible
erosion that the attention OF the

He said the Midwestern hear

The evidence further shows
that our producing acreage must
be reduced so as not to further

He suggested payments by the

No Good Formula
The chairman referred topleas
Of the farmers union for 100 per

said that no one gave the COM

Parity is a standard for meas

to be fair to the farmer in rela-
ton to prices he must pay.
Today's hearing was expected
to bring recommendations for a
