Amending of Senate Bill Louded as Step
Toward Injecting Reason Into Conflict

the verdict wasn't surprising.
AS one man in the South put
1t, why should not IL men in
Alabama express their feelings
in a verdict. when nine sociolo-
gists on the Supreme Court do
the same thing?"
Reference was made spe-
officially to some Of the recent
cases of rape committed by
Negroes against white wom-
en-cases in which confessions
were duly recorded and guilt
plainly established, only to
have the Supreme Court of the
United States reverse such
verdicts on technicalities and
allow the defendants to 60
free.
Emotionalism has brought a
state Of tension that Is not
going to be cured by any pro-
vision of law denying jury
trials merely because the
privilege has been or might be
abused. While contempt COM
mitted inside a courtroom has
always been punishable by a
Judge without a jury trial, and
attempts to violate directly
the terms Of an injunction are
ordinarily within the power of
a Judge alone to punish, the
real issue is whether the
judges injunctions can be
stretched to cover crimes COM
mitted outside the courtroom
itself that normally are tried
by juries.
1t is better. therefore, for
Congress to err on the side of
caution and to put faith and
trust in the people in all Sec
tions Of the country, rather
than to assume in advance
that they cannot be trusted in
the jury box. To apply such
faith is to follow the path of
reason as against emotional
ism.
For the racial questions are
far from settled. and those
persons who think that, by the
order Of any court. the people

they can win the rest for
themselves.
There are Democrats who
do not want such a bill to pass
in a Republican administra-
ton lest that party get a per-
manent political advantage
among Negro voters. who al
ready have shown signs Of
straying from their allegiance
to the Roosevelt Truman sue
cessors.
Yet it, is q fact that most.
though not all, Of the fervor
for civil rig hts is among
ocrats. despite their
Southern wing. and that Re-
publicans in a tacit alliance
with Southern conservatives
have long furnished the
Southern minority with the
votes 1t needed in this field.
The quid pro quo in the alli-
ance is Southern votes in tax.
fiscal and money matters.
The present maneuvers and
votes on the civil rights legis-
lation are not necessarily final,
but the outlook for a truly
effective measure seems dim.
In assessing the trial-by-jury
feature, proponents are citing
the story Of what happened in
Montgomery, Ala, only last
week where two men were
tried for bombing Negro homes
and churches.
The confessions OF both de-
PENDANTS were admitted in evil
dence by the local court. But
the jury turned them loose.

An Answer to Khrushchev

Republican President OF an
other date as witness on an
other issue very much alive
right now. That was Theodore
Roosevelt who, in 1908. issued
an executive order which,
among other things. set aside
the Hell's Canyon area Of the
Snake River as part OF the
forest preserves that would
belong to all our people so
that its waterpower potential
could be developed eventually
for all the people and not ex-
plotted for private profit. 1t
was a year later that he ex-
pounded his philosophy of in
tegrated development OF our
river systems by the Federal
Government in the public in
terest and warned that "the
great corporations are acting
with foresight, singleness of
purpose, and vigor to control
the water power Of the coun-
try" He said. ITO give away.
without conditions, this, one OF
the greatest OF our resources,
would be folly" thus originate
ing the give away" phrase we
hear today.
We hear II most pointedly
about that same Hell's Canyon
which the Eisenhower admin
istration has turned over to
the Idaho Power Company,
and sweetened the donation
with a quick tax amortization
certificate that will cost the
Government. meaning us tax
payers, $685. million. as esti-
mated by a Federal Power
Commission accountant.
What Theodore Roosevelt
wanted to do TO protect our
national heritage In our rivers
was called socialism" by some
people then, and 1t is called
that by some today. But so
years later the Eisenhower
administration has reversed
that, so that 1t looks as If
Mr.. Khrushchev is going to be
wrong about our grandsons-
as our grandfathers could
testify.

The Softening View on Red China

Communist China. That re-
gime still stands indicted as
an aggressor by the U.N.
resolution Of 1851. But we do
not advocate the diplomatic
recognition Of Peiping," say
those who are now driving for
a restudy of the existing en-
barge. All they want, they say,
is that our businessmen be not
left behind Britain, Japan and
other countries which have de-
cided to open up the reservoirs
of trade with the enemy. =
Even the concept that there
is no harm in trying to pick
up a few fast bucks would
be understandable If In the
opinion of men such as Score.
tary of State Dulles, Assist
ant Secretary Robertson and
the Joint Chiefs of Staff this
would not mean considerable
strengthening Of the Commu.
mist war machine in the Far
East.
Communist China is now in
the throes of a serious internal
crisis which cannot be solved
even by mass executions. The
men in Peiping need outside
support to maintain themselves
in power. Russia cannot help
them. Moreover the So
called enorm Gus military
establishment of the Chinese
Communists, estim a ted at
some 5 million men under
arms. may become an old
fashioned rabble unless the
Chinese industries are sufi-
GENTLY modernized to provide
them with up-to-date weapons.
Hence the promises to. the
British, Germans and Japa-
nese that they will sign lush
contracts for machine tools
and electrical equipment.
Insofar as we are concerned
we are back where we were in
the years Immediately preced-
ing Pearl Harbor. In order
mot to rock the ship Of state
and make the japanese more
aggressive than they are now"
the then Secretary of State
Hull informed Senator Styles
Bridges I'VE must continue to
send them scrap iron, steel and
high octane gas"
The lessons of the past apply
to the present. The only diff
ference is that we have to deal
with a far more aggressive and
bitter enemy than we did then.

The Communist strategy of
once more Offering peaceful
coexistence" to the peace-hun-
cry West and unlimited trade
possibilities" to an even more
trade-hungry Western Europe
and Japan has succeeded in
obscuring the logical thinking
Of many responsible political
men in this country.
Majority Leader Lyndon
johnson, for instance, backed
by group of Senators of both
parties, wants a complete re-
survey of our policies toward
Communist China insofar as
trade is concerned. They say
that since Britain, Germany
and a number of other West
ern countries and Japan are
ready to trade with the Chi
nese Communists, our own in
dustrialists and businessmen
should not be left behind.
Senator johnson and his
associates remain adamant on
the matter of our not extend
ing diplomatic recognition to
the Peiping regime, just as if
trade could be carried on with
out diplomatic augmentation.
Britain, for instance, has rec
ognized Communist China
since 1850. The reason there
has been, no exchange of am
bassadors between London and
Peiping. is that Britain was
compelled by the Korean war
to join in an embargo on trade
with China. This angered the
men In Peiping who refused to
dignity Britain's recognition
OF their regime by an exchange
OF ENJOYS. This will take place
soon, now that the British
government has decided to let
down the bars on trade with
the Communists.
There is no possibility of
trade without some sort of
recognition on our part. Who
will protect the American citi-
zens who must go abroad to
look after their interests? This
is particularly true when they
deal with a Communist regime
where all business TRANSACT

ports, are handled exclusively

impression. too, about Ruther-

from President Hayes in

ury OF the United States"
And this from BENJAMIN

Der 3. 1889:

OF land grants, and in that
form the constitutional powers

It was a wise move OH the
part of the Senate judiciary
Committee this week to recon-
mend that jury trials be pro-
vided by law in contempt Eases
arising out of the enforcement
of civil rights" It will do
more to help the cause Of pub
lie understanding on the
neutrality-suspicious. issue
and similar questions than
anything the Congress or the
courts have done thus far.
This is because the action
by the Senate committee
comes at a time when emotion
has been substituted for reason
in many parts of both the
North and the South IN deal
ing with matters of law and
constitutional rights.
A dramatic example was the
case last week in Montgomery,
Ala, when a white jury &C
quilted two white men who
were defendants in a case in
volving the dynamiting of a
Negro church. No one was in
jured, but property was dam
aged. 1t was apparent from
the way the case was summed
up by the prosecuting attorney
and defense counsel that the
issues were presented in the
background Of current antago-
nisms. Although the defend
ants had signed a confession,
the claim was made later that
1t had been irregularly proc
essed-that it wasn't made at
police headquarters but in a
hotel room under circum-
stances which led to the ex-
preston of many doubts.
This correspondent spent
the week end in Alabama and
talked to many people about
the integration question. Not
outstanding the individual
beliefs Of citizens generally, it
is fair to say that many people
who are on the anti-integra-
ton side were shocked by the
verdict of the jury at Mont
gomery. Yet in some respects

represents all the interests of
the people" Hence the claim
that we could do business with
the Communists in Peiping
and at the same time refuse to
recognize them automatically
is a mere pipe dream.
There was a time when Re-
publican and Democratic Sen
ators were almost unanimous
in their determination to have
no deals whatsoever with the
Chinese Communists. The
Reds were held responsible for
the slaughter of some 10000
American GIs in the agrees
sion against South Korea,
triggered only seven years ago
this month by the men in the
Kremlin and Peiping.
In the summer of 1855 it
appeared that the United Ma
tons. under the pressure of
the Communist Afro-Asian
bloc, was ready to allow Com
munist China to join that
world peace organization. The
members Of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee decided
that the best answer would be
our withdrawal from the u. N.
They voted unanimously a
rider providing that under
such conditions. there would
be no funds available for the
American delegation to con-
tinue its work. This meant
actually our leaving the u. N.
by the back door. The rider
was rescinded only after Presi-
dent Eisenhower assured the
Senators that he had the votes
in his pocket to bar Commu-
mist China's entry.
The British. French and
other Western and Latin
American members, worried
about the consequences Of our
possible withdrawal, pledged
themselves to table the bid of
the Soviets to permit their
most powerful partner to enter
the peace loving" organiza-
ton. And the Chinese were not
allowed then to shoot their
way into the U.N.
Nothing has changed except
the attitude Of some of our
own legislators. They gloss
over the fact that we and our
allies are still at war with
