parties to the dispute into near
agreement.
If the Senate passes the bill
as it now stands, Senator
O'Mahoney said he expects
similar House action.
Senator Morse. Democrat of
Oregon. who favors no bill at
this time. contends the Federal
courts should be given time
to clarity the Jencks decision,
even If this requires additional
Supreme Court tests.
Propose DeIeting Papers
Under the Senate bill, Fed
eral judges would first inspect
these files and could delete any
material not relevant to the
pending case. In case of an
appeal. the entire file, including
the deleted matter. would be
sent to the higher courts.
If Federal prosecutors de-
cided against presenting the
files, the testimony Of The Gov
eminent witness would be
stricken by the Judge. Or, the
judge could declare q mistrial
or order a dismissal Of the case.
Mr.. Brownell has commended
that the Jencks decision caused
a grave emergency in law en-
forcement." He said it might
permit defendants or their
lawyers to rummage through
confidential files.
He said this might reveal
government law enforcement
methods, damage the reputa-
tons of innocent persons and
violate agreements among Fed
eral agencies and with friendly
governments against disclosing

The Senate already has de-

somewhat different bill.
Senator O'Mahoney. Demo-

Senate passed the bill late

Mothers who are losing sleep
over the prospect of brown-skln-
ned in-laws can take solace from
the following facts:
/. American Negroes account
for only ten per cent OF our pop
ulation There are not enough to
90 around even if ALL our sons
and daughters decided to marry
them.
2. A large majority will marry
within their own race. Inter-
marriage is still a rarity, even IN
fairly well integrated populations.
3. Parents can have great IN
fluence on their offsprings' choice
of mates. If Negro is totally un-
acceptable to the parents, the son
or daughter is extremely unlikely
to marry one-unless he or she
harbors secret Crude against one
or both of his or her parents.
4. Our society frowns on inter
liacial marriages, and probably
will not outgrow this intolerance
for at least 100 years; at which
time we can start to worry. So
ciety's displeasure is powerful
deterrent to all but the hardest
nonconfornlists- which there
are few
If / can influence my daughter

her the importance of these basic
ones: moral courage, kindness,

physiognomy can neither detract
from these qualities nor compen-
