The Rights Bill Controversy

And, Of course, in contempt
cases trial by jury is auto
matically denied.
AS to the fairness of
Southern juries to Negroes
accused of crime, Senator
Mcclellan. Dem ocrat of
Arkansas, said this to the
Senate:
In the South. if a white
jury gets the impression that
someone has imposed upon
a helpless Negro, they will
Immediately find the Negro
not guilty. I have seen that
happen many times.
If we are going into these
matters a little, I have said
that I have no prejudice
against the Negro race.
When I was a prosecuting
attorney, 1 defended a num-
Der of Negroes who were not
able to employ a lawyer. I
defended them without pay,
because l believed they were
innocent"
The debate on civil
rights" indicates that the

unfortunately are committed by some
natural persons 1t is precisely because
they are evil in themselves that our syS-
tenn Of government has always insisted
that the person charged shall always be
entitled to trial by jury. No man can,
under the American system of govern
ment. be punished for an infamous crime
merely by the ipSe dirt of an appointed
attorney general or an appointed Judge.
The whole history of the jury trial is the
development of the resistance of free
men against arbitrary judicial and ex-
ecutive power.
1t is said that judges have the power
to punish by fine and Imprisonment in
cases of criminal conduct without the in
tervention of a jury to find the facts
This argument I think was disposed of
rather conclusively by the Supreme
Court in United States U. Goldman tre-
ported in 277 U. S. 229, 1851. -.
That is not the only case I could
cite. The books are full of such
cases :.
There can be no doubt. Mr.. President,
what the Supreme Court has thought
about this matter in the cases that have
been brought before it. l have invited
attention, as I have proceeded to the
difference between the living person and
the artificial person. the natural person
and the corporation. because the oppo-
nents of jury trials under the bill have
seemed to read into the % statutes
which have been cited an excuse for
eliminating the jury trial

fact that since corporation can exist
only by the action at law of some gov
eminent. then the government of the
nation in which it operates has a clear
right to prescribe for it regulatory laws.

Question of Possible Use of Police Force
In Elections Viewed as Main Issue

The whole business of the
CongreSS-including many a
vital measure desired by the
executive branch of the
Government - is stagnated
because of the efforts of a
few politicians to gain some
votes in the next election by
enacting now a so-called
civil rights" bill. Weeks and
weeks of debate are ahead.
and the really important
civil rights" that ought to be
protected are being ignored.
Com nun SITS can openly
preach overthrow of the
Government. and subverSives
can plot against the security
of the United States and in
filtrate the Government it
self, but not a single law of
prevention is being pressed
for passage.
All the Senate'S time is be-
ing spent to pass a bill to
punish, without jury trial. Of
ficials of State or local gov
ernmentS for offenses they
have not committed but theo-
retically may commit in rul-
ing on the eligibility of
voters. This could mean
eventual intrusion into the
direct supervision of the
manner in which State and
city elections are conducted
everywhere in the United
States. 1t could mean in
veStigations into alleged i'm
pairment of voting rights by
the use of undue influences
before election day.
The whole controversy is
centered on how to police the
States of the Union. which
have always had full authori-
ty to make their own vote
eligibility laws. There is talk
of using troops to coerce the
States.
President Eisenhower SAYS
he can't imagine any circum-
stances under which Federal
troops would be used to en-
force school indignation or
other provisions of the pend
ing civil rights" bill. But the
natural question which this in
turn propoundS is why any
such statutes should remain
on the books or any new
measures be proposed that
could be used to invoke mill
tary force.
The truly liberal point of
view abhors military intimi-
dation in any form in a de-
mocracy. Only in a Fascist or
Communist state is the mill
tary threat held over the
heads of the people in order
to get them to conform to a
ira lized governments
edicts.
Every day that passes
widens the gap between those
in Congress who understand
and those who do not under
stand the problems of the
South. The debate in the
Senate has brought out some
significant information. It has
revealed, for instance. that
white juries generally do con-
vict white persons accused OF
harming Negroes.
Basic is the misconception
OF the South's true position
on the matter Of mixing the
races. 1t is often remarked
in the South that the South
erner dislikes the Negro race
but likes the individual Ne
gro. whereas the Northerner
likes the Negro race but dis
likes the individual Negro"

FavOrs National Reserves
Mr.. Benson reiterated his
opposition to proposals for
setting up international reserve
stockpiles of food and fiber.
But he said there is a good
basis for individual coun-
tries establishing national re-
serves from a combination of
domestic production and pur-
chases of SURPRISES with their
own currency" This approach
would fit in with a key United

out that "a rather unusual
situation exists in regard to
the education of nurses"
He pointed out that, despite
a "well-recognized and we'll
publicized shortage of nurses
in this country, endowment
money for nurse training is
almost non-existent."
This means, he continued,
that a large share of expenses
involved in training nurses is
borne by the hospital.

that the plaintiff had tried to
