They Should Be Banned

A switch-blade knife is not an ordi-
nary piece of cutlery. 1t is so designed
that 1t can be secreted in criminals
palm until its use as a weapon is de-
sired. Then, by pressing button, the
long, pointed blade suddenly is extended
toward its intended victim. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that switch-blade
knives have become a favorite weapon
of thugs, both juvenile and adult. That
is why Congress has outlawed this type
of knife in the District of Columbia.
And 1t is a good reason why Congress
should outlaw interstate trafic In such
knives, as Senator Kefauver has pro-
posed in bill recently introduced. We
agree with Senator Clark of Pennsyl-
vania, coSponSor of the bill, that switch
blade knives serve no useful purpose and
ought to be banned.

Clinton Conviction

The guilty verdict which has been
returned against John Kasper and six
co-defendants on charges growing out
Of the anti-integration riots in Clinton,
Tenn, is a reflection of the American
jury system at its best.
The verdict should help to straighten
out the thinking of those who have
feared that the administration of justice
would break down if jurieS rather than
judges should be permitted to try civil
rights cases.
1t is persuasive and well-deServed
rebuke to those who have been preach
Ing the shameful doctrine that the peo-
pie OF the South, as class, cannot be
trusted to live up to their oaths as Jurors.
And, perhaps most important of all,
1t demonstrates once again that trial
by jury of ones peers really is the best
safeguard of the liberties of all of us
which man has been able to devise
The Knoxville jury which brought
In this historic verdict was a discrim-
mating jury. Four of the defendants
were acquitted because there was not
sufficient evidence to justify their con-
viction. Other defendants were dis
missed because the judge found no evil
dence against them. But the same jury
an allwhite Southern jury, most If
not all of whom undoubtedly believe in
segregation-did not hesitate to convict
the remaining seven. They convicted
them because, in their judgment, the
evidence had established their guilt be-
yond reasonable doubt. And, having
arrived at that conclusion, this Southern
Jury remained deaf to pleas by defense
counsel that they should preserve the
traditional Southern way of life," and
never mind the law.
We see no reason to labor the obvi-
Gus implications of the Clinton convic-
ton. 1t is enough to say that we hope
they will not be lost upon those Senators
who still may have some misgivings
about providing for jury trials, in a
rather narrow category of contempt
cases, in the pending civil rights legiS-
lation.

trial In criminal as well as civil con-
tempt, on the theory that Southern
juries will not convict in criminal con-
tempt cases involving civil rights. That
is nearer the whole truth, we think, than
the contention that jury trial is being
extended" into field in which it was
not previously available.
If the Clinton trial had been initi-
ated under the powers conferred by the
civil rights bill, it would have been
held without jury. There is, of course,
nothing in the bill that would prohibit
private individuals from instituting
such case, as they did in Clinton. But
they would be foolish to 60 it alone, with
the Federal Government ready to meet
the cost and responsibility of the liti-
cation.

Cleanup Standard

teamwork among various juriSdic-
tons on pollution control in the Poto-
mac River will be something less than
ideal as long as there are differences
OF opinion as to the goal to be sought.
Such differences have existed for long
time. There is no agreement as to the
degree Of sewage treatment that ought
to prevail on both sides of the river.
Hence, the proposal that an agreement
on antipollution standards be sought by
the Washington Metropolitan Regional
Conference is constructive one.
The suggestion came from Arlington
County Manager A. T. Lundberg. Mr..
Lundbergs county has been accused OF
dragging its feet on pollution control.
Arlington got OF to good start on sew
age treatment some years ago, but its
sewage receives only primary treatment
before 1t is dumped into the river And
the county has no definite plans for
building Secondary-treatment plant.
The District, too, is giving its sewage
only primary treatment, but work is be-
ing rushed on a secondary plant that
is expected to be in operation within
year or so. Alexandria has new plant
that is giving secondary treatment to
all its sewage.
We hope that Mr.. Lundberg's pro-
poSal for regional standards will result
in more uniform sewage treatment in
the Washington area. Certainly Airing
ton cannot AFFORD to be complacent with
primary treatment. The degree Of sew
age treatment ought not to be less than
the secondary standard already adopted
by Alexandria and planned for WASH
ington. This should be the minimum
goal for our once-clean river.

Abandoning Jury Trials

A letter on this page today from
Representative Heating raises the ques-
ton whether we abandon" the tradi-
ton of jury trial, in the civil rights bill,
or whether we extend jury trial to pro-
ceedings in which it has hitherto been
unavailable. The same point is raised
more indirectly in another letter printed
today 1t is fair question, and it rep
resents the nub Of the issue of jury trial
In the civil rights debate.
1t is true that jury trial is not
available now in contempt proceedings
In which the United States is party to
the original action. But with no dis
respect to the distinguished ranking
minority member Of the House Judiciary
Committee, that statement is in the
nature Of half truth, when made in
the context of current debate. AS the
law now stands, II one violates the de-
cree of court in which the United
States is not a plaintiff, and II such
violation subjects him to criminal con-
tempt, he is entitled to trial by jury.
Under the civil rights bill, with the
United States plaintiff, the same vio-
lator loses his right to Jury trial in the
otherwise identical circumstances In
which he had that right before.
This bill extends injunctive pro-
ceedingS in equity, initiated by the At
torney General, to a new body of offenSes
hitherto enforceable by proceedings in
which the right Of Jury trial is guaran-
teed under the Constitution. To pro-
vide stronger teeth. however, the in
junction proceedings are being substi-
tuted for the traditional methods. And
that process, initiated or joined by the
Federal Government. "abandons" Jury

port. but ones perfected by
practice and perhaps instinct.
The crabs probably decimate

on tender seedlings. I be-
lieve they largely are respon-
sible for the paucity of differ

they perfected respiration on

The creatures have no ears

report, Il have observed a
loving pair beside a bunch

clawing at each other and at
the same time uttering a
subdued chick chick-chick'

this sound without a voice

Besides the hermits, the
island abounds with their
not too close relatives, the
equally fantastic. brilliantly
colored, gregarious fiddler

close to the waters edge,
burrowing in the pale mud.
They are unlikely ever to
constitute an economic prob
lem.

Jamestown Stamps

I know that Virginia's rep
resentatives In Congress have
been trying for some time past
to get Postmaster General
Summerfield to design and
publish stamps TO recognize
the celebration of the 350th
anniversary Of the FIRST per-
manent settlement Of English
speaking people on our CONT
nent. Certainly you would
think that this event is wor-
thy Of recognition. Some time
ago ! wrote the Postmaster
General on this subject. ! re-
ceived sort Of q form letter
from one Of his subordinates
stating that q stamp was TO
be issued celebrating the In
ternational Naval Review and
recognizing the jamestown
Festival.
After some delay I received
some Of these stamps. Against
q green background. the three
little ships which brought the
first settlers to Virginia are
printed In such small form
that they might be mistaken
for small insects. l write you

judges. Do the proponents Of
jury trial for contempt con-
tend that they need jury
trials to protect them from
pro-civil rights judges? OF
course not.
The proposed civil rights
bill would bestow no new
rights on anyone. It would
merely provide a new remedy
for a right of long standing
"a right that is guaran-
teed by the United States
Constitution. But, whereas
. the civil rights bill would be-
stow no new right, the trial
by jury amendment certain
ly would-a right that would
be contemnors neither need
nor deserve.
1t is unfortunate that
those who know and realize
how much damage can be
done to our judicial system
by adoption of the jury trial
amendment have not been
able to devise a catch phrase
or slogan to give their cause
more popular appeal. The
trouble is. it is difficult to ex
plain to the average layman
how jury trials in contempt
cases would undermine our
judicial system, without los
ing him In the labyrinths of
legal verbosity.
But I suggest that a fitting
slogan or battle cry for
those who insist on fury
trials in contempt cases
would be: Contempt With
out Punishment"

Foe of Civil Defense

Once more the Civil De-
tense organization of the
country has launched a vici-
Gus and unconScionable at
tack on the armed forces of
the United States. In effect,
Civil Defense has said that
the radar system in all its
! echelons is useless and
worthless; that the Air Force
is laundering. incompetent
and stupid; and that the
Army. including its ground
to-air missile defenses, is
slack, inept and helpless.
To proves its allegations,
Civil Defense has reported
--latest figures I have SEEM
that some ITS A and H
bombs were dropped on
American targets in one day
and that the total casualties
amounted to 81, 100000. (This
is more than all Of the SOL
diers in all of the armies of
the world since the begin
ming of recorded history, plus
all of the war casualties in
all of the wars that have
been recorded.)
In this connection I would
like to tell a brief story. make
a comment, and ask a ques-
ton.
The story: In 1917, when
the LIST Division arrived at its
training area in France. the
English sent drill instructors
to help the Americans. These
were to teach bayonet and
other combat techniques. On
the first day. / went to the
bayonet field to watch my
men. I heard the instructors
mounting the greatest flow
of filth and profanity that /
have ever heard. It was
shocking. I stopped the drill
and asked the instructor the
reason. He answered: low,
you know. Captain, you have
to make them bloody mad 10
get them to tight" I an
swered: Sergeant major,
these men are Americans.
They will fight Just for
the fun Of fighting. There
will be no more filth
from you or your men,"
/ made q report, and
the English were sent away.
Subsequent events proved my
evaluation of the American
fighting spirit.
The comment: I did not
then, nor do I now, believe
it is necessary to brighten
Americans by tales that their
Defense Department is wholly
incompetent and useless. be-
fore they will fight to pre-
serve their liberty.
The question: How many
of the personnel of the Fed
eral Civil Defense Admins
tration, its large staff: the
National Civil Defense Ad-
visory Council; and the Civil
Defense Co-ordinating Board.
are veterans of combat serv-
ice in war, and know what
they are talking about?
BY veterans Of combat
service, I automatically dis
card those who have commits
stoned titles in any Of the
armed forces but whose mil
itary" experience has been
confined to ofiices in Wash
ington, or those branches
that are termed non-com-

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

When the rhododendrons
were in bloom. the bees were
lowering over them all day
long.
The pink flowers and the
golden bees provided a beau
tiful picture, one any good
artist could have painted
perfectly.
Bees seem to get more
sheer fun out Of the rhody
blossoms than almost any
thing else.
They buzz contentedly.
now here. now there. but
never leaving.
How can one tell the con-
tented buzz Of q bee, wasp or
bumblebee?
BY. listening to the inner
ear.
This is the ear we use to
know. Not to prove.
The word proof" one may
think. carries too much
weight.
We must prove everything
As il there weren't things
we know without proof!
Bees are under no neces-
sity to prove things. or even
disprove them.
Nature, in truth. never in
tended proof to hold such a
position as it does among her
oldest mammals.

bees and wasps, 60 through
their regular paths of living.
brushing all aside they do
not know and have no wish
to understand.
The bees on the rhododen-
dron blossoms know a thing
or two, after their own fash
ion, The life they live is all
natural. Human beings who
sometimes rave over things
natural should go into costa
sizes or something when they
watch bees.
Bees blend wonderfully
well with the flowers they
work over, all the time set
ting up that pleased buzzing.
How can one be sure the
insects are pleased with what
they are doing?
It is not difficult to read
this into their buzzes, because
they are doing what comes

Police Incident

Your recent news story of
the beating up" of Mr..
Sours by a Fairfax County
policeman brings to mind a
recent "run-in" that I had
with a couple Of members Of
this department.
I am a retired Marine
Corps general ofncer SO years
of age. My wife is so years
Of age and we have resided
IN Fairfax County for the
last four years.
A few weeks ago we at
tended a wedding reception
where the usual beverages
were served. My wife is not
accustomed to alcohol and
after a few drinks she began
to feel Ill and we left early.
Arriving in front of our home
at about eight o'clock l asked
my wife to remain in the
car until darkness came and
/ would assist her into the
house. While talking to her
a Fairfax County police
cruiser stopped alongside of
our car and two young po-
licemen came over. I should
estimate that they were in
their late twenties. One of
them came up to me and
asked me what the trouble
was about and I explained
to him as l have stated above.
He informed me rather abb
ruptly to get my wife into
the house and do 1t quickly.
/ started to pull out my I'D
card and informed him who
I was and that I would like
to wait until darkness came
so that the neighbors
wouldn't see my wife needing
support to take her into the
house. The ofiicer stated
that he didn't care q damn"
who ! was and TO get her into
the house quickly or he would
run her in for being under
the influence" Despite my
heart condition, for which /
was retired. / had her place
her arm around me and I'm
ally with great difficulty got
her into the house.
From more than IS years
experience with young men
1t is my opinion that the
young men who comprise the
Fairfax County Police De-
partment need someone at
the head Of the department
who is capable Of seeing that
their training includes ways
and means Of meeting situa-
tons similar to that OF Mr..
Sours and mine without hav-
ing them beat UP" and in
timidate old men like myself
who might occasionally find
themselves In q predicament.
II is my opinion that these
young police officers are very
poorly trained and supervised
and that someone In charge
Of this department should
teach them the meaning Of
that simple word Courtesy"
I will not sign my name
for publication a. ! would
live in fear Of being beat UP"
II I did.
