Does the End Justify the Means?

In the Clinton, Tenn, case,
however, the complainantS
were private individuals who
said that Is defendants had
conspired to violate the Fed
eral injunction. These alleged
acts were committed outside
the court room. The defend
ants were not principals in the
dispute. The school board itself
had complied with the Federal
injunction ordering the end of
segregation. Then, all of a
sudden. the Department of
Justice on February IS last
asked the court to change the
name of the case and insert
the name United States" as
the complaining party. This
automatically bars a jury trial
because the law specifically
says so.
Surely. the American people
are entitled to know what's
going on here and what sub
terfugeS are being used at
Clinton. For. If what happened
in the Clinton case is valid
in fact. the Federal Judge
promptly approved the change
in the name of the case
then civil rights" legislation
by the Senate or the House
isn't really necessary after all.
If indeed. 1.-The end justifies
the means" the Department of
Justice. whether authorized or
not by civil rights" legisla-
ton, can change the name Of
any case and deprive the
defendants of a jury trial in
criminal contempt cases. There
need be no explanation given
except perhaps the excuse of
technical reasons" though
everyone will know that it's
really an effort to get around
the fact that Southern juries
might not bring in convictions
In civil rights" cases.
A constitutional amendment
is the logical way to deal with
the whole problem If two
thirds of both houses of Con-
greSs and three-fourths of the
States want to take away or
limit further the right of trial
by jury, then the Constitution
and law will order it done
and such orders will be obeyed.

senhower Middle East doctrine
was purposely leaked first to
the press to put them on the
spot. they suggest that no
doubt they will soon read it
in the newspapers.
Conversations of this cynical
kind have long since passed
out OF the realm of private
and confidential in the Capt.
toll. Many observers as a result
feel that an open challenge to
the President on foreign policy
is in the making.
Actually the fate of his Eli
Senhower doctrine represented
such a challenge, for his pro-
posals were altered in major
respects before Senate APP
prevail was finally obtained.
With his customary skill in
propaganda. the President
covered up his defeats by
yielding both major and minor
points without struggle.
The doctrine exists, but as
compared with the similar
Formosa resolution - which
passed in three days instead
of three months - it is es-
Sentially negative in important
respects.

The most important aspect
of the parley is said to be the
fact that the discussions have
further confirmed the reports
reluctantly accepted pre-
viouSly that international
comm n ism is feverishly
working for a showdown in the
sensitive areas of the world.
The stand taken by the adj
miniStration in the Middle
East crisis of last November
has not in the least directed
the Kremlin'S tool, Nasser,
and his Syrian and Jordanian
associates toward a more
friendly attitude to the United
States and the rest of the
world. Quite the contrary; the
MideaSt dictatorS have inter-
preted our position as an
indication of weakness which
they must quickly exploit to
their advantage.
There is nothing funda-
mentally new in the officially
announced decision that Amer
lean military observers will
participate in the military
councils of the five nations
forming the Baghdad pact. In
the past we did not actually
attend those meetings but our
Joint Chiefs of Staff received
complete briefingS on the Stra-
tegic discussions and frequently
offered suggestions to dovetail
with Americas implied respon-
sibilities in that area.
We have been furnishing
military equipment to all the
members of that coalition stu
ated along the underbelly Of
the USSR within very short
air distance of the Soviet oil
resources in Azerbaijan and
the Caucasus. In Bermuda we
merely agreed that the Amer
lean army. air and naval rep
resentatives will henceforth sit
at the meetings of the British,
Turkish. Iraqi. Iranian and
Pakistani top strategists. Our
pacts require us to rush to the
assistance Of all these countries

they should become the targets

Full Meaning of Historic Island Meeting

The story OF the Bermuda

based on the fact that the
spokesman for President Essen

The end seems to justify
the means-and if the Con-
stitution stands in the way, it
must be circumvented.
This is a dangerous doctrine
in a democracy and one that
the American people will resent
to the utmost. But it comes.
in effect. from the chairman
of the Senate Subcommittee
on Constitutional Rights,
Senator Thomas Hennings,
Democrat of Missouri. who,
though denying any intention
to abandon jury trial in Amer
lea. says frankly that. because
Southern juries will not con-
Wet in civil rights cases.
some way has to be found to
get around them.
In a formal memorandum to
the members of the Senate
Committee on the judiciary,
Mr.. Hennings says:
I'VE know that, regardless
Of the facts. juries in some such
cases are not likely to convict.
An alternative is the grant of
injunctive relief to the United
States"
This means government by
injunction" 1t is something
that the labor unions success
fully fought until they got re-
lief from Congress in the
Norris La Guardia anti
injunction law. But this is
special privilege granted only
to individuals involved in labor
disputes. Now it is intended to
punish without jury trial any
citizens who become involved
in any way in disputes over
civil rights
This. of course. would result
because the suits in civil
rights" cases would be prose-
cuted in the name of the
United States and such a
device automatically bars any
jury trial.

frankly admits this. In fact.
his candor is to be commended.

Hennings Opinion on Civil Rights Cases
Suggests Use of u. S. Injunctive Power

Department of Justice, who on
March Is issued a statement
arguing that the defendants in
the Clinton, Tenn, case had
not been deprived of a jury
trial. Mr.. Olney commended
that, because in the middle of
the proceedings the United
States" had been made a party
to the suit. this was a "tech-
meal" matter and it didn't
mean jury trial had been for
feited. Here is what the Assist
ant Attorney General said:
The right to a jury trial is
not matter of discretion to
be granted or withheld by the
Department of Justice or by
the court and could not in any
case be defeated by the substi-
tuition. for technical reasons,
of the name of the United
States on the contempt cita-
ton"
But the memorandum by
Senator Hennings, which he
says is supported by an ex-
haustive analysis made by the
chief counsel of the Senate
Subcommittee on Constitu-
tional Rights. takes the oppo-
site view.
Mr.. Hennings. after giving a
list of 28 Federal statutes in
which injunctions may be is
sued. says:
LAS outlined above. with one
exception Qabor disputes cases
under the Norris-LaGuardia
Act), there is no right to trial
by jury in cases for criminal
contempt of court for viola
tons of injunctions. under
these statutes, where the
United States is a party to the
case"
The history of this type OF
case under Federal injunctions
shows that. where contempt is
committed in the presence of
the court or where the princi-
pal who is ordered to obey an
injunction disregards it, he
may be hauled into court and
tried and punished without a
jury trial.
