In Debate

New Orleans, La =. Two con-
flicting views of the jury trial
issue we're brought into sharp fo-
Gus by an exchange of letters be
tween two Southerners, Aubrey w.
Williams of Montgomery. Alabama.
President of the Southern Confer
ence Educational Fund, Inc; and
Senator Lyndon Johnson of Texas.
Majority Leader of the Senate.
The sCEF leader said that a
civil rights law must prove it.
self in actual local situations. :.
you can pass civil rights bills with
jury trial amendments1 until you
are blue in the face and you will
not help Negroes in Montgomery,
Alabama get the right to vote"
Senator Johnson on the other
hand, said that he did not believe
''the jury trial and the right to
vote are incompatible. 1 cannot
find it in my conscience to juggle
with the concept of equity in or
der to bypass one of the fundamen-
tai concepts Of our liberties"
The two letters setting forth
these opposing views follow.
Dear Aubrey:
I'VE have been friends for many
years. On the basis of that friend
ship. I am presuming to tell you
frankly that | believe you are
working yourself into an unten-
able position. .
1T Is a simple matter to take
hard and fast positions on essential
ly complicated questions. Certain
ly, there will be many-on both
sides of the issue-who will be
tempted to do so for reasons not
altogether unrelated to personal
advantage. | do not believe you
belong in that category.
There are honest and sincere
men whose devotion to the civil
rights cause cannot be questioned,
who are struggling to resolve the
intricacies of the issue. They in
cIude men of the calibre Of Sena-
tor Clark Of Pennsylvania, Senator
O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Sena-
tor Kefauver of Tennessee. All
of them have grave doubts as to
the wisdom of abolishing trial by
jury through the use of a legal
subterfuge.
Aubrey, | tell you quite frank
ly that | cannot find it in my con-
science to juggle with the concept
of equity in order to bypass one of
the fundamental concepts of our
liberties. furthermore, cannot
agree with you that we must do so

Urge More
Voting By
Negroes
BY RICHARD [. sTRouT

Staff Correspondent Of The
Christian Science Monitor
Washington
It is time more Negroes voted
in the South.
That belief, in essence, tells the
story of the present cigil-rights
battle in the Senate.
Complicating factors as to how
this administration goal IS to be
achieved have produced side is
sues, but the basic issne Is and re-
mains that at a time of global con-
troversy over democracy the vot-
ing rights Of millions of Negroes
IN the United States are seriously
limited.
The Senate has agreed to vote
July 16, around suppertime, on
Step One in the ADMINISTRATION
civil-rights bill. This is a pre-
liminary motion to take up"
(make the bill the pending busi-
ness Of the senate1 Approval Of
Step One is certain probably by q
good margin. This in itself viii
be a landmark in recent civil
rights history.
Then comes the real debate and
chances of notifications, changes,
and amendments. The big issue
still goes back to the feeling, not
confined TO the North. that the
time has come to make some new
advance in Negroes voting rights.
The story Of Negro voting in
the South can be told statistically.
Here are figures from the South
ern Regional Council showing ~
states the estimated number Of
Negroes eligible to vote and these
who actually do so.

Summary Of Decisions
On Baseball by Court

NEW YORK, Feb. rs (R.-
Baseball continues to operate
under a Supreme Court ruling
Of 1922, reaffirmed in 1858, that
it is a sport and hence not SUBJ
ject to antitrust laws.
The courts decision on base
ball. announced November 8,
1858. was the result of three ap-
peals attacking the reserve
clause" by which players are
held to the same team from sea-
son to season. The appeals had
asked the court to overturn a
unanimous decision of 1922, de-
livered by Justice Holmes, that
baseball is primarily a sport, not
q business.
The Holmes decision held that
baseball games are purely state
affairs; that they constitute per-
sonal effort and therefore moth
ing is produced; that baseball is
not a commodity and the trust
laws are not violated by the mere
travel between States, and that
the contracts of players. despite
their special restrictions, do not
constitute chattel slavery and are
in no way an interference with
commerce.
The majority decision Of 1858,
made by a To vote, declared in
part:
I'VE think that if there are
evils in this field which now
warrant application to it of the
antitrust law it should be by
legislation"

tent with rolling a 10-footer near
the cup for a title-clinching putt

Harris finished at 70 for a 28l
that was good for $4,000. De-
maret collected $4,000 for a 282,
while Bone, with a final-round
rs. tied at 284 with Mike Sou
chak, the 1855 champion here.
Each won $1,000.
Bone had trouble all the way
with the soggy green's after miss
ing a 4-foot birdie putt on
the first hole. His earlier rounds
were So. 81, 10. Winner of only
1884 in six other winter-tour
tournaments, he was undecided
whether to compete at Baton

Say
Head
BET on Credit

MIAMI. Feb. 26 (R.-A Florida
Racing Commission inquiry into
operations of Tropical Park drew
testimony from witnesses yester-
day that Tropicars president,
Saul SHERMAN, bet an estimated
$4,000 at his own track during
its 43-day meeting and laid some
wagers on credit.
The commission has ordered
Tropical to show cause why its
license should not be revoked.
The State regulatory body said
in its order that SHERMAN as
ISOLATED with bookmakers, made
bets without putting up cash and
let the track telephone be used
to give out racing information
and for calls to bookmakers. All
are violations of racing regula-
tons.
SHERMAN. through counsel,
denied the charges and called
some of them ridiculous" He
was present at yesterdays open
ing session but did not take the
stand.
Louis Derteen, jr., State as
Isistant supervisor of racing, esti-
mated Silberman's wagers totaled
$660,000 plus $4,000 on daily
doubles alone.
Elmer F. Vickers, jr., general
manager of the track, testified
he never knew SHERMAN to miss
betting a race. Vickers said he
once cashed tickets worth $18,50
for the track president.
James A. Quigley, head
cashier. said that Silberman's
accounts at the betting window
sometimes were in arrears prob
ably $65.000 or $4,000" and
that only SHERMAN was al
lowed to bet without putting up
cash.
Louis Schulz. pari mutuels
manager. testified that Silber-
mans account sometimes ran
two or three weeks before he

John Turner. jr.. Bowie's rae
ing secretary. will not announce
his all-important weights for the
100000 John B. Campbell Me-
mortal Handicap. to be run on
March 80. until after the Gulf
stream Park Handicap. sched-
uled a week earlier in Florida.
1t now appears that Mary
land fnas will not see Bardstown
perform at Bowie in the Camp
bell as Trainer Jimmy Jones has
been quoted that the Widener
winners next start will be in
the Gulfstream.
Unless the weight for the
Gulfstream Cap is prohibitive-
everyone expects Horace Wade
to make it 1913. two pounds above
the burden he carried in the
Widener Bardstown would
shoot for that hundred grander,
but hardly would ship 200 miles
to Maryland to tackle the Camp
bell seven days later.
OF the 30 horses nominated
for the Campbell. there are three
standouts-B ardstown. Mrs.
John w. Galbreath's Summer
Tan and Jan Burke's Dedicate.
With the exception OF Paper
Tiger. who makes his seasonal
debut at Bowie in the South
ern Maryland Saturday, Mr..
First. from the Castle Rock
Farm. appears to be the only
horse who might argue with the
big three.
A small field is a certainty for
the Campbell. but the exact
lineup will remain in doubt until
after the running Of the Gulf
stream. which unfortunately is
too close to Bowie's feature race.
Trainer Elmer Trueman will
stretch Kinda Smart out to
seven furlongs Saturday for the
$4,000 Southern Maryland. The
5-year-old Splinter picks up a
pound over the lis he carried
last week end in winning the
Burch Memorial.
