THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Rights Fight Affects 2 Governor Races

that the Republican Ma
tional Committee soon will
move practically all its ma
tionalities division to the
State for the gubernatorial
campaign. and that the
COP. is seeking to buy
off" the editors of foreign
language publications.
The Republicans feel they
have a good chance Of win
ming the governorship which
they lost to Meyner four years
ago. Not only did President
Eisenhower carry the State by
a huge vote last year. but
the COP. won an increased
majority of the congressional
delegation. Meyner. for his
part, has pursued a rather
middle-of-the-road course as
Governor, and has had some
Republican support.
Republicans Garry Ball
The first votes in the Sem
ate on the civil rights bill

lican Senate Leader Know

the second on a motion by
Democratic Senator Morse

passed bill to the Senate
judiciary Committee with in
structions to report it out
in seven days time-showed
the Republicans running
with the ball tight in their
clasp. On the Knowland mo-
ton. AZ Republicans and 20
Democrats voted AYE" while
ID Democrats and no Repub-
licans voted mo" The Morse
motion was defeated by the
votes Of 38 Republicans and
is Democrats; 81 Democrats,
however. voted for Morse's
motion, and only 4 Republic
cans.
Morse, a liberal Democrat
who voted with the South
erners and some other Demo-
Gratis against putting the
House bill on the Senate
calendar (by which 1t by
passed the hostile Senate
Judiciary Committee which
failed to act on the civil
rights bill in flve-and-a-half
months), was accused at the
time of making a deal with
the Southern Democrats for
support of his pet project,
the Hells Canyon, dam bill,
which a few days later passed
the Senate with the aid of
the votes Of the Southerners.
Morse and the other North
ern and Western Democrats
denied there had been any
deal" with the Southerners,
insisting they opposed by
passing the Judiciary Com
mittee as bad legislative pro-
cedure. Morse's motion Tues
day to send the bill to COM
mittee seemed an effort to
re-emphasize his stand when
the original vote placed the
bill on the Senate calendar.
The big vote in the Senate
to take up the civil rights
bill. in which three Southern
Senators concurred - john
son of Texas and Kefauver
and Gore of TennesSee-by
no means indicated the full
strength of opposition to the
Eisenhower civil rights bill.
This opposition will more
strongly manifest itself in
votes on modifying amend
ments. and probably on the
final passage of the measure,
If and when that vote occurs.
1t seems clear. however,
that the COP. may be the
gamer politically in this civil
rights fight.

Much has been said Of the
probable political effect of
congressional action on the
Eisenhower administrations
civil rights bill, which is be-
fore the Senate after having
passed the House. Whatever
the action in the Senate, it is
likely to impinge strongly on
two principal elections for
Governor in this "off year"
when important elections are
scarce. One is in New Jer-
sey. where the Republicans
are out to wrest the COVER
norShip from Democratic
Governor Meyner, who. if re-
elected, could become a 'front.'
runner for the 1860 Demo-
cratic presidential nominal
ton. The other is in Vir-
ginia. There the Democrats,
under the leadership Of Sem
ator Harry F. Byrd and other
important party figures. are
committed to massive resist
ance to indignation in the
public schools.
Favorable action on the
civil-rights measure. it is be-
lieved. will help State Sena-
tor Malcolm Forbes, Repub-
lican, in his race against Gov.
Meyner. On the other hand,
such action could make it
almost impossible for State
Senator Ted Dalton, Repub-
lican nominee for Governor
of Virginia, to be elected. so
strong is the feeling in that
State against desegregation
of the schools. The Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor,
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond, jr., candidate of the
Byrd organization. is going
down the line for his party's
stand on segregation.
Previous Votes Not Indicatlv,
1t is true that Dalton. run
ming for Governor Of Vir-
GINA in 1858. received As
per cent of the total vote
cast. That, however. was be-
fore the Supreme Court
handed down its 1854 deci-
sion that segregation in the
public schools is unconstitu-
tional. 1t is also true that
President Eisenhower not
only carried Virginia in 1852
but also in 1856, after the
desegregation decision Of the
court. But Adlai Stevenson.
the Democratic candidate for
President, took practically
the same stand on the race
issue and the courts decision
as did Eisenhower. The Vir-
GINA voters still liked Ike"
and disliked Stevenson for
President.
When it comes to electing
a Governor, however, the is
sue seems to be nearer home,
especially where school segre-
cation is involved. The Vir-
ginia Republicans have APP
proved a platform calling for
a pupil assignment plan
which might permit some
limited indignation in the
schools.
In New Jersey, the gu
bernatorial contest already
is warming up, early as 1t
is. Gov. Meyner is favor
able to school indignation, as
is Forbes. They both favor
the civil rights bill. But the
Republicans are striving hard
to win the votes of racia1
groups, including the Ne
groes. Indeed. the Democrat,
there are charging that thu
Republican Party already ha'
spent 100000 to win the ra'
cial group support for Forbes

Civil Rights

Inc FlICeenCh Amendment
to the Constitution provides:
Section l. The right of citi-
zenS of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States
or by any State on account
of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude.
Section 2. The Congress
shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate
legislation"
Congress in following Sec
tion 2 has before it now a bill
authorizing Federal judges to
issue civil injunctions against
those who disobey their or
ders and decisions in cases
in which the provisions of
Section l have been violated.
The Southern opposition to
this bill found a very vocal
spokesman in the senior
Senator from Georgia. Rich
ard Russell. who. to all in
tents and purposes, in a
speech several days ago. posed
a threat of bloodShed and en-
forcement at the point of a
bayonet. President Essen
hover, when told of the Sefa-
tors speech. stated that it
was his understanding that
the bill was designed to give
all citizens the right to vote
without discrimination as to
race or color. BY implication,
this leaves out the question
of the enforcement of the
Supreme Courts decision and
the lower Federal courts con-
corning school integration.
The question has therefore
been reduced to Furnishing
contempt Of court by the
court itself or through a trial
by jury.
Now let's look at the record
of the statutes and practices
in the States whose repre-
sentatives are on the firing
line in opposing the civil
rights bill. At the present
time, neither Georgia, Missis-
sippi. South Carolina, North
Carolina nor Virginia permits
a jury trial as a matter of
right in contempt of court
cases. One of the foremost
opponents of this bill, Sem
ator Sam j. Erwin, jr., Of
North Carolina, while serving
on the State Supreme Court.
Joined in an opinion affirm
ing that "the laws Of North
Carolina do not accord a jury
trial as a right in contempt
cases arising out of DISC
bedience to injunctions.
The codes of the States OF
Georgia, South Carolina and
Mississippi provide the State
courts with power to sum-
marily punish contempt cases
without a right to a trial by
jury.
In light Of the aforemen-
toned legal practices, it l:
quite obvious, that to the de-
cisions of their own State
courts involving punishment
for contempt, the Southern
opponents Of this bill pay
homage, honor and obedi-
ence; but to similar deci.
sions by the Federal courts
resistance and disobedienct
are advocated.
1t is high time that the OPP
ponents for the good Of their
constituencies and them.
selves. realize that the pur-
pose Of the civil rights legis.
lation is to ensure the sur.
vival Of one Of the basic prin-
ciples set down by oul
founding fathers. IN the

Bischoff said. At this rate, the
new court will have about the
same number of such cases han
died yearly by District Court.
But when District residents
learn they can get legal divorces
here in a reasonable length OF
time, the new court will get a
rush Of divorce business that
would otherwise go to out-of-
State divorce mills" Mr.. Bis
choff thinks.
You could whip up a novel or
sociology book on the effect of
these divorces on American civili-
zation," Mr.. Bischoff said. But
our interest here is to take care
of the legal aspects of divorce
just as quickly as possible"
For contested divorce cases,
there is a mandatory 90-day
cooling-off period. During this
time, judges hold petrial rec
onciliation sessions to try to
keep families together.
So far there have been about

Mr.. Bischoff. This figure COM

Mr.. Bischoff said. I'VE will get
