Southern opponents Of the
administrators civil rights bill
Unexpectedly revived the jury
trial issue as the House sought
to pass the bill late today.
BY a vote Of 1879 to 1877, the
House on Friday refused to re-
quire jury trials for persons ac-
cused of violating civil court
injunctions issued under the
bill to safeguard voting rights.
Representative Smith, Demo-
crat Of Virginia. today offered
a new amendment which de-
clares it to be the policy Of
Congress that in the trial of
charges Of criminal contempt in
any proceedings under this law,
mo person shall be deprived Of
a trial by jury who would be
entitled to such a trial by jury
in the absence Of this act"
Purpose Of Amendment
Mr.. Smith said the advocates
of the civil rights bill said last
week there was no intention to
deprive a person of a jury trial
who would otherwise be entitled
to it. He said his new amend,
ment was designed only to find
out If they meant what they
said.
But Chairman Celler of the
House Judiciary Committee in

House rejected Friday.

Voice of America translator who
had married another woman less
than three weeks before the
murder.
A short time after the indict-
ment was returned, Assistant
United States Attorney John
Conliff. jr., announced the find-
ings of DR.. William G. Cushard.
He had given Miss Hough ex-
tensive mental tests at Govern
ment request.
No Proper Understanding
DR.. Cushard, according to Mr..
Conliff. said he does not believe
Miss Hough has a proper under
standing Of the nature of the
charges against her. This is one
of the measurements by which
mental competence to stand trial
is determined.
AS a result of DR.. Cushard's
findings. Mr.. Conliff said. the
Government will petition the
court tomorrow to have Miss
Hough sent to st. Elizabeths
Hospital for so days for a formal
examination.
Under the Districts law speci-
flying procedures in criminal
cases involving mental illness,
there can be no judicial deter
mination of mental competence
without a report from the chief
psychiatrist at District General
Hospital or the superintendent
Of st. Elizabeths Hospital.
Possible Causes
If the st. Elizabeths report
agrees with that Of DR.. CuShard,
one of the top psychiatrists at
the mental hospital. Miss Hough
will be committed for an in
definite period until the hospital
reports she is mentally COM
petent to stand trial.
If the hospital disagrees with
DR.. Cushard. Miss Hough will go
to trial after the 60-day exam
ination period is over.
A finding of mental incom-
petence by the hospital would
have an important bearing on
her defense If she does go to
trial.

ment was taking the initiative

nation, Mr.. Conliff said. IF she
is incompetent, we don't want
to try her"
Only Three Paragraphs
Mr.. Conliff did not make pub
lie DR.. Cushard's report. but he
said it consisted of only three
paragraphs stating the psychia-
trist's conclusions. The prose-
cutor refused to say whether DR..
Cushard believed Miss Hough
was sane at the time Of the
shooting.

BUILDERS REPORT

The Organization of American
States reports development of a
simple, hand-operated machine
which turns out building blocks
made of compressed soil and a
little cement.
The machine. which GAS says
"promises to revolutionize low
cost housing construction in
Latin America" and the block
it produces were developed in
the laboratories of the Inter-
American Housing Center, which
GAS maintains at Bogota, Co.
lombia.
Almost any kind of soil can be
used to make the building block,
although the sander the better,
according to GAS. To the soil
is added from 10 to Is per cent
of bulk in commercial cement
and a little water. Operators can
make from 800 to 1000 bricks
a day for a few cents apiece
GAS says.
The machine which makes
the soil cement blocks is a SIM
plified model of a South African
invention, but is lighter in
weight and easily transportable.
1t can be made for about $50
worth of parts, or about one
tenth the cost of its South Afri-
can counterpart. GAS says.
