A moderate total of 100 cases
was. listed for trial in Municipal
~ Court Monday morning, Aug. IL.
Somewhat difficult to under
stand was the case of Robert Hill
of 1913 NV 5th Ave-, who was
charged with assault with shot
gun on Frank Warren Of 444 NV
nth st. The strange incident oc-
Cured on last Saturday night, ac-
cording to Officer Rudolph Brown.
In his testimony, Warren told
the court he went to his home
early Saturday night and short
ly after arrival he was told by q
woman at the home that he had
better run because Hill was after
him with a shot gun. Warren add
co that he took refuge in the
bath room but had not done any
thing to Hill and could not UNI
derstand Hills coming after him.
Warren, in an obvious attempt to
cover UP, told the court that Hill
had not actually threatened him
with a shot gun as charged and
that nothing really happened to
warrant action by the ponce.
Warren's story may have stood
up if Officer Brown had not tes-
titled in the case. Brown told the
court that he and his partner, r.
Thompson had received a call to
to go to 442 NV 18th st. to check
on a man drawing a shot gun on
another. Upon rival at the
home, Brown said they question
ed several persons but could not
get to the bottom of what really
had happened. Brown added that
Warren, himself, finally told him
that as he parked his car infront
of the house an argument occurr-
ed between him and Hill over the
way the car was parked. Several
hot words were exchanged be-
tween the two. Hill then rushed
into the next house and grabbed
the shot gun and Warren ran for
cover in the bathroom. Hill told
the police that Warren had put
his h nd in his pocket in
threatening manner. Hill declared
that the gun was not loaded and
that he did not draw it to shoot
Warren, but to hit him on the
head instead.
Warren and Hill had obviosly
planned to, cover up as much of
the real facts in the sc as pos
sible, but Officer Brown spilled
it all to the court.
Following a stern warning to
both, Judge Johnson fined Hill SIS
or 3 days on the assault change.
The judge then fined Warren $25
or ten days for contempt Of court
by lying in his original testimony.
The shot gun was confiscated by
the court.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Fred Gonzalez, charged with
malicious mischief destruction

The Segregation Bills Come
Home 10 Roost -.

It would have been nice II the occupants Of such respon-
sible offices as governor Of the state and speaker OF the state
House Of Representatives could have brought themselves to say
In January what they are saying now In July OF the package
Of socalled segregation" legislation whose passage they help
ed clear during the legislative session that ended In March.
Several months after the fact. we have heard Speaker
Glenn +. Walther say before a small luncheon club audience
that while he still favors the intent OF the sovereignty CON-
mission ban and three other pro-segreeauon measures adopt
ed at the last session. he questions their practical effect.
As a lawyer, Mr.. Wather simply Is convinced that the fed
eral courts viii strike down every one of the four desperation
measures as quickly As they may be brought forward for a
court test. This was what other lawyers said at the time Of
the bills passage. This was what the Arkansas Gazette and
other newspapers said at the same time. But Glenn +. Wal
thes sat stl In his role rs umpire" Of the House. and the
whole lot cleared the chamber with but a single dissenting vote.
In the Senate a few courageous men fought to the last
TO keep the state they loved from making a laughing stock
of Itself. In the end. they. too. were swept aside. Governor
orval E. Faubus. while trying to keep as quiet as possible.
nevertheless flashed the go-ahead signal to forces which were
determined TO have their viii at whatever future cost.
Some OF the consequences Of the legislatures nl-consider-
ed action now are being left In Little Rock where an increas-
ngly innammatory campaign is being waged by il-infoimed
people against the Little Rock School Boards effort to peace
ably introduce a small number of young Negro students into
. white high school under the most liberal terms OF delayed,
staged indignation yet granted to a Southern school district
by the federal courts.
There are, no doubt, a number Of people who sincerely
believe that q governors oath to his state takes precedence
over his oath to the federal union; that Governor Faubus can
stop" Indignation of the schools by perfectly legal, constitu-
tional methods" as the Citizens Council ads put 1t.
Persons who haven't read anything of weight since the
decline Of the mail order catalogue have suddenly blossomed
as constitutional lawyers, convinced that the 1857 legislature
gave the governor the power TO stop indignation.
Their leaders, who know better, lately have lost faith in
the efficacy of such legalistic mumbo-jumbo 10 the extent
of importing obscure. fire-beating divines to talk of bloodshed
IN the fashion Of the outsider who turned Clinton. Tennessee,
from a cheerful, l~aw-abiding town into a clinical pecimen of a
community with an ineradcable guilt complex.
Recognizing the lateness of the hour In Little Rock, Ark
ansas, and the increasing pressure directed against his own
person. Governor Faubus finally has opined that everybody
knows no state law supercedes a federal law"

vent a vote on the bill by a flibuster.

3. The south can count on a hard ore of only Is votes
from 0 states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Geor-
gia. Florida. Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas: thus
the South needs is additional votes to make up the required
So votes.
A. The most likely place to find these IS additional votes
would be among the n Senator's voting June 10th with the
South to send the Civil Rights Bill to Senator Eastland's Judi
eiary committee instead Of putting the bill directly on the Sem
ate Calender.
