What happened was that N
"The Red Balloon" for which he
had high Academy Award hopes
in this years Oscar sweepstakes
He made one small mistake, how
ever. He failed to measure II
after certain additions had beer
made to it and now has learned
to his chagrin that it is 3,015
feet long This is precisely Il
feet over the Academy limit OF
5000 feet-or-under for short
subjects.
Mr.. Lopert. he declares, learned
all of this quite by chance
Shaken as he was. he was not
subdued or silenced
Everybody here but me knew
that the picture was not going tc
be considered as a short" he
bitterly declared to a Hollywood
reporter for Variety. And by
everybody" he went on, Il mean
the nominating committee =
many of whom have their own
shorts up for nomination in the
Academy Awards"
1t would have been simple
matter to cut THE Red Bal
loon" down to size. but it al
ready had been screened in the
qualification trials and classed
as feature film. Mr.. Lopert did
not see much point. or much
future, in sending his short into
battle with the likes of WAR
and Peace" Giant" Around
the World" and other films con-
siderably longer than 3,015 feet
He withdrew The Red Balloon
from the competition.
The irony? Well. the irony is
that THE Red Balloon" would
have qualified easily but for one
small thing. In the version the
Academy ruled too long to be a
short subject, more than Is feet

claring that the picture won a

BrowneII Fights To
Save Ike" Civil
Rights Proposal

Washington - AMP - Atty.
Gen. Herbert BrowneIl last week
was reported ready to go to bat
for the Eisenhower Administra-
ton civil rights bill now pending
before Congress but threatened
with defeat by a Southern bloc of
lawmakers.
The administration bill seeks
permission for the government to
obtain injunction sagainst civil
rights violations. II has the sup
port Of President Eisenhower and
some SO Northern House Dem
ocrates. Rep. Kenneth B Heating
tR-N.YD is fighting for the bill
in the House, where he hopes to
pilot it to final passage.
Opposing the measure, the
Southern claims that it would
deny right of trial by jury. How
ever, Rep. Heating denies this,
calling the squabble Tot of
dust thrown in the air" He said
there is no basis for requiring the
jury trials, since no jury trial IS
provided in about 80 other laws
dealing with contempt.
Brownell decided to throw the
weight of his office behind the
bill after the House opened four
days of debate on the controver-
sial measure. A final showdown
was expected within a few days.
Meanwhile. the Southerners are
pushing an amendment to include
the jury trials, and their leader
Rep. Edwin f. Willis (D-La.) said
he was confident it would be
adopted. House Democratic Whip
Carl Albert of Oklahoma also
predicted its adoption after a hard
fight
But Rep. Heating, who said the
President opposes the Southern
amendment, said the amendment
would be defeated after its fun
significance" was explained.
The Justice Department headed
by Brownen has been calling for
civil rights legislation TO streng-
then its enforcement powers. It's
action has run into stiff opposi-
ton from the Southern bloc, how
ever.

v. p. Nixon Speaks
On Issue" Down
South In Dixie

Ashville, n CAMP Twice
in the same week Vice President
Nixon has called upon the public
spirited citizens Of this nation 10
assume the personal responsibility
Of racial prejudice in this country.
Speaking 10 the General Fed
GRAFTON Of Women's Clubs here in
Asheville, Wednesday, the Vice
President discussed the "contro-
versial but vital domestic issue"
which has such far reaching ef-
feet on our foreign policy.
The impression people have Of
America abroad, he said, is de-
termined more by what we do
than by what we say. They newt
ably ask the question Of how
Americans can really believe in
equality when they practice racial
discrimination in their own coun-
try.
Community Leaders Must
Meet The Challenge"
He informed the womens
group that they should not sit
back and expect the government
to solve the problem. Truly there
is some things the government can
DO such as enact the moderate
civil rights bill now before con-
gress But in the final analysis
the challenge must be met by
community leaders.
1T is only through the willing
ness Of public-spirited citizens in
all walks Of life to assume per-
sonal responsibility for removing
the causes Of racial prejudice that
we can assure the progress that
eventually will make the Ameri-
can dream Of equality Of oppor-
tunity a reality for all Of our citi-
zens."
Makes Same Plea up North"
The Vice President made the
same plea to a northern audience
in a commencement address at
Michigan state University, Lans-
sing, Mich, Sunday.
In this address, Mr.. Nixon stat
ed that "a law is only as good as
the win of the people to obey it,
and this will must come from the
hearts OF the people everywhere.
He insisted that moderate and
constructive action must be taken
by people of both races.
