RusseIFs Influence in Senate

Senator Russell would have to
keep a much closer eye on the
State Of Georgia than he had
previously.
For the comfortable George
Russell tie has been substi.
tuted a challenging relation
ship with a spokesman for
what Georgia has become
since Senator Russell was its
pre-New Deal Governor in
1878.
Mr.. Talmadge campaigned
against foreign aid; he has
made his m alden Senate
speech against it. But Senator
Russell is not just following
suit: he is emerging as the
leader Of a sustained attack
on the whole foreign aid
concept.
In doing SO, moreover. he
has struck directly and force
fully at the President. the
Secretary of State and at the
whole Eisenhower-Dulles con-
cept of how to run their show.
According to Senator Russell.
father no longer knows best or
should have his way even II
ne doesn't.
The senator. in short,
attacked the legend which has
served so durably to keep the
doubtful Congress in line. 1t
is that President Eisenhower
has a built-in antenna to the
American people. Senator Rus
sell apparently believes that
antenna is no longer func-
tioning.
The peril to the President is
that the politicians will agree:
they usually have agreed with
Dick Russell.

Quiet Move by Government Viewed
As ImperiIing Jury Trial Guarantee

It is ironical that the Amer

commendable statement criti-

Tenn. as being too broad
didn't know that on February
Is the same Federal judge was
being asked by the Department
of Justice to deprive citizens
of a chance for jury trial. The
Civil Liberties Union state
ment had rightly criticized the
injunction as too broad and
had said that Ito the extent

sition to or advocating ignor-
ing of the order. or peaceful
picketing for these purposes.

In that same statement,
moreover, the right to jury
trial was vigorously upheld by
the ACLU even for those de-
PENDANTS who had been
charged with actually hinder
ing" or "obstructing" the OPP
erations of a court order,
The ACLU said:
Under the Federal law a
person in contempt of a Fed
eral court order enjoining
acts which are also in violation
of the Federal or State law

to a trial by jury. This pro-
lection of individual rights
was originally written into the
law to guard against possible
biased judicial decisions in
labor injunction cases and now
covers all contempt issues. +. /.
Similarly, as the acts
charged against the Is persons
now facing trial allege viola
lions OF Federal and State
laws. these defendants can ask
for a jury trial. Therefore, no
civil liberties issue is raised
unless the jury trial is denied,
which is unlikely in view Of the

Maybe there is no need for
civil rights" legislation after
all. Congress will certainly be
interested to discover how the
Department of Justice just a
few days ago, in move that
has gone unnoticed generally,
simply substituted the words
"the United States" for the
names of a local school board
as a party 10 a law suit i'll
Federal Court. BY that device
the 10 defendants arrested for
allegedly hindering the Fed
eral injunction at Clinton.
Tenn, can be deprived of a
trial by jury and put in Jail
as unfairly as if they were
living in some totalitarian
country.
While the laws of the land
under the Constitution of the
United States do permit Fed
eral judges to punish for con-
tempt certain offenses COM
mitted in a courtroom, or even
outside. when the principals
to a controversy refuse to
obey a court order. a jury
trial can usually be obtained
on request. But it is some
thing novel when lawsuit
has been started by private
parties to find the Depart
ment of Justice petitioning the
Federal Court to amend the
original petition and substi-
tute the words United States"
for those of the complainant.
This automatically bars jury
trial.
II the Federal judge in
Knoxville. Tenn, approves this
request and it is sustained on
appeal by the courts it will not
be necessary for the Congress
to legislate on civil rights"
All that will be needed is for
the Department of Justice to
write out the orders and the
courts will uphold them.
This is a fragrant abuse of
power-much worse than any
cited in the recent hearings
before the House Judiciary
Committee by the critics of the
proposed civil rights" legis-
lation.

Further Refunds
Seen Likely on
Auto Insurance

Washington automobile pur-
chasers may be entitled to in
Surance refunds amounting to
$4,000, and possibly to as much
as $25,000. Senator Monroney
Democrat Of Oklahoma, said yes
terday.
He stressed that this is a
rough estimate" He added that
the amount, whatever it may
total, would be in addition to
the $9,536 returned to District
policy holders by the Service
Fire Insurance Co., a subsidiary
of the Universal CIT Credit
Corp.
Senator Monroney is chair
man Of the Senate Commerce
Committees Subcommittee on
Automobile Marketing Practices
1t was brought out last week
that large sums in overcharges
were collected nationally by some
insurance companies. This arose
from collision insurance written
by the companies on cars where
purchases were financed by con-
Germs Of which the insurance
companies were subsidiaries or
affiliates.
Penalty Glass Utilized
The insurance charges are
Jumped with finance charges on
the purchasers notes. There was
testimony that unless the pur-
chaser had information or the
auto dealer looked out for him,
he would be placed in Glass II
as an insurance risk.
This is the penalty" class for
those cases where a driver in
the family of the insured is
under 25. Otherwise the insured
would be in Class l. with smaller
premiums.
There was testimony that in
one State, Massachusetts,. the
dissatisfaction would add from
$25 to $50 to the price of a car
bought on a one-year basis, 500
to $40 where the car was paid
for over two years. and $50 to
$l25 where the purchase was on
a three-year basis.
Senator Monroney said his es-
innate Of what might still be due
Washington car purchasers was
based on what was found to be
true in other areas.
He added that it would be
Evening star., 1957-03-24

on Governor McKeldin to veto
the measure.
Therefore, he added, he in
tends to amend the juvenile
court bill when it reaches him
from the House to postpone its
effective date until the Circuit
Court Judges have the facilities
they feel they need to start
handling all county juvenile
cases.
At the same time, the Senator
said he will move out of the
Senate q bill he had introduced
to provide for a third Trial
Magistrate in Prince Georges to
handle all juvenile cases until
the Circuit Court setup is ready.
New CourtrOoms Needed
Judge Charles c. Marbury and
the other Circuit Court Judges
have requested that the legisla-
ture delay putting the Juvenile
Court change into effect until
new courtroom facilities are
available in a courthouse addi-
ton scheduled for completion by
early 1859.
During the construction of the
addition, one of the two existing
courtrooms would be unusable,
Judge Marbury said. Juveniles
would have to share the remain
ing courtroom with adult Of
tenders.
The bill introduced here by
Prince Georges Delegates, at the
request of numerous civic and
social service organizations,
would elevate all juvenile cases
from the Trial Magistrates Court
to the Circuit Court. It also pro-
vides for a master" to screen
and take testimony for the judges
on minor cases.
