Mr.. Patterson, whose father
was the prosecutor who lost his

several months ago.
Attorney General Eugene Cook
Of Georgia, testifying earlier yes

suggested Federal civil rights
legislation in this sentence:
Enactment of this legislation
would result in creation of a
Federal Gestapo which would
hold needless Investigations, pry
into the affairs of States and
their citizens. and intimidate a
majority of our citizens solely to
appease the politically powerful
minority pressure groups inspired
by the Communist ideologies of
I the police state"
Mr.. Cook and other witnesses,
including House members from
Georgia or Alabama. defended
efforts of their States to MAIN
tain racial segregation by all
possible means within the law
despite the Supreme Court deci-
sion against such enforced syS-
tens.
Fear Dangerous Effects
Several of the witnesses warned
that the proposal in the Heating
bill to let the United States At
torney General obtain Federal
civil court injunctionS to prevent
threatened or actual civil rights
violations in States could lead
to dangerous abuses.
Representative kanham. Dem
ocrat of Georgia, complained
that "the present politically
minded Attorney General sent
his shoppers into Cobb County,
Georgia" to investigate COM
plants Of exclusion of Negroes
from juries. He charged that
Mr.. Brownell did this at the
insistence of the NAACP."
/ Commenting that Attorneys
General often are political" Mr..
Lanham said that under the
proposed civil rights legislation
any "politically-minded Attorney
General" could use such a law
and the FBI to interfere with
many matters of purely State
concern.

A school could be closed
under the cutoff plan only by

And this, he said, would be

"In my view" said the new

these collapse. then under the
