We are all familiar, via novels,
movies. cartoons and television
with the witness who puts on an

the innocent thug who cannot
understand why he is being
picked on.
Real Life Situation
A real life situation of the
same basic type occurred not
long ago during the much pub
licized pre-trial hearings into
the Atlantic crash of the ILL
fated Andrea Doria and the
Swedish liner, Stockholm.
Peter Larsen. 26-year-old
helmsman for the Stockholm at
the time of the collision, was the
witness on the stand. He smiled

depending on how you look at it,
and thereby managed to give
the impression that the Doria
counsel cross-examining him was
following a ridiculous line OF
questioning. Or so the counsel
thought, for he spent the next
two hours endeavoring to prove
that Mr.. Larsen's grin affected
his ''credibility as a witness"
In other words. the Doria s

lawyer was trying to get across
the idea that since Mr.. Larsen
was Glowing on the witness
stand, what he had to say might
not be worthy of belief. He
worked so hard at it that Federal
Judge Irving Kaufman finally
recessed the hearing for a spell.
Credibility Of Witnesses
But the credibility of witnesses
is an extremely important aspect
of most general trials. Quite
aside from what opposing coun-
sci are able to show about them,
the mere impression witnesses
make on the jury is often critical
to the outcome.
Some witnesses. for instance,
are completely honest and &C
lcurate in their testimony but are
so hating and unsure in the
way they present it that the jury
is inclined to discount what they
say. Conversely. some witnesses
may get away with the blacklist
perjury and yet their word is
believed.
These anomalies may not be
commonplace, but they can
happen

Supreme Court Sustained

Fortunately, the American people dedicated to
the rule of law Individuals groups may object to the
working of the law in specific cases. A fined for
speeding may not like what the judge does to him. but
usually senses that the courts essential buwarks
of freedom and justice Support of the Constitution
is generally linked with support of the Supreme Court

This is happening today it happened after the
1887 attempt to pack the high bench. Latest is
declaration in defense of the court signed by 100 dis
tinguished lawyers from all parts of the nation. We
wish it had appeared when public attention less
distracted. But it merits wide attention For it cogent
y reminds Americans that sustaining the institutions
through which law is expressed is vital in maintaining
the rule of law that guards their liberties.
This manifesto-an effective reply to the southern
manifesto of last spring-does not argue the segrega
ton question Several of its signers disagree with the
school decision And all recognize the citizens right to
criticize court decisions. But they concerned about
reckless abuse and seek to uphold things funda
mental than any decsiOna tradition of law obser
ance and an Independent judiciary.
The declaration touches only lightly on the states

The Negro And The Reelection
OfPresident Eisenhower

The reelection of President Eisenhower Tuesday is
bound to have brought JOY to the hearts and lifted the
hopes of Negroes in Mississippi, the South, and the
nation because of the long nourished tradition and his
tory that for the Negro has pointed to the Republican
Party the party of freedom whose great ideals and
purposes guaranteed by the history and legend
Abraham Lincoln.
Since the Eisenhower ascendancy to the presidency
in 1852 to be followed by the Supreme Court decisions in
the school in 1854, with the issue having become
of dominance and great Importance leading up to the
Tuesday election the Republican Party of itself and for
certain too obvious to mention here has be-
come the party of civil rights.
One of the cardinal principles of the Eisenhower
stand the issue of civil rights is that the solution of
the civil rights problems must be found and worked out
by the people at the local level.
In their citation the reelection of President
Eisenhower it is we'll that Negroes in Mississippi else
where in the South especially those having leadership
responsibility keep in mind the Eisenhower principle
that the solution of the civil rights problem is to be work
ed out by the people at the local levels and the people at
the local level or both whites and Negroes.
In the view of President Eisenhower, especially
since his reelection there is not much to be expected
from above but greater responsibility for the exercise
of tact good Judgment and the spirit of friendship and
goodwill rest upon the responsible Negro leaders at
the local level.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: 1t is generally agreed
that the discussion of money draws
an attentive audience whether the
said subject is being aired on the
reclining slopes of the Congo
River, or the noisy border table
in the back of a smoke filled cafe,
where two high hamburgers are
showed gracefully across the boards
by a waitress who had none of the
qualifications for the position save
the quenchless thirst for money,
which incidently, was the topic
for conversation where we gath
cred with the brothers about noon
time last Saturday. 1t was noted
that none of us had an abundance
of the stuff we were discussing,
which, of course made us all au
thorities on the meanings of ac-
curing, saving, and general usage
of the long green stuff with the
short future After everyone
present had bored everyone else
with how he's made and lost
fortune three or four times, we
started telling the truth, and as
usually happens, we came to an
harmonious agreement as the last
bottle of frosted beer was parked
bv the aforementioned waitress.
The one thing that all of the broth
ers of the Saturday night session
was agreed on, was that there IS
nothing evil about money. If you
think there is, try getting along
without it for a week or two. Try
telling your butcher that you can't
paw for the steak he just cut be-
cause you don't have any of that
evil stuff called money, or, better
still, when you're in church Sun
day, drop a note in the collection
plate, saying that's money and that
the deacons should be ashamed of
themselves for encouraging such
a practice in church. Or, tell the
rent man, telephone man, light
man, gas man, insurance man
tell anybody. Tell them that you
have concluded that money is evil
and you shall not be found in its
company, or it in yours, and see if
you can win single convert to
your side of the argument. Now,
it was agreed that certain people
take money and do evil things with
it, and that there are evil ways OF
getting it was affirmed.
But now the brothers shook
hands on it, and you can believe
it or not, but there amt one thing
evil about money, and the sooner
the brothers and sisters wake up
to the point where they lays little
by every now and then the
better.
