Rogers Offers
Bills toProtect
Civil Rights
Calls for Penalties
For Violence in
Integrotion Coses

Attorney General Rogers to-
day told members Of q House
Judiciary subcommittee that
present laws are inadequate to
combat violence or threats In
school desegregation disorders.
He urged Congress to give
the Federal Government clear
authority 10 deal with such
cases.
The statement came as Mr..
Rogers presented the admin
istration's proposed bills on
protection Of civil rights.
The Attorney General said
the Administrators proposals
would give Federal ofhcers
specific authority to make ar
rests on the spot Of persons
who created disturbances
around schoolhouses and In
terferred with q valid integra-
ton order.
Legislative Program
The legislative program
would:
/. Make 1t q Federal crime
punishable by two years i'm
prisonment and q $4,000 fine
to use force or threats Of force
to obstruct court orders in de-
segregation cases.
2. Make 1t a Federal crime
punishable by five years i'm
prisonment and q 5000 fine for
fleeing to avoid prosecution for
destruction Of educational or
religious buildings. Flight to
avoid testifying in such pro-
ceedings also Is covered in the
proposed bill.
3. Authorize the Justice De-
partment to require access TO
Federal election records.
I. Extend the life Of the Civil
Rights Commission for two
more years. The commission
presently is required to 60 out
Of business next November.
Authority Limited
Referring to mob violence.
the Attorney General said an
analysis indicates doubt as to
whether the existing authority
of Federal courts is sufiicient
to impose effective sanctions"
against persons who interfere
with school desegregation.
"Ihe reason for the doubt
in the present Law Is that the
contempt power comes into
play only when It has been
found by the court that the
persons charged with contempt
disobeyed or resisted the de-
cree Of the court. Under Fed
eral procedure. q person cam
not ordinarily be held In con.
tempt unless he was either Q
party against whom the decree
was issued or was acting In ac-
tive concert with q party.
Elm the example / have
given. obviously a desegrega.
ton order can not name the
members Of o mob not yet
formed"
Little Rock Case
Illustrating his point. Mr..
Rogers referred to the Little
Rock school disorders. He
pointed out that while a court
order decreeing desegregation
had been issued. those respon-
sible for the violence were not
involved In contempt Of the
order. since they had not been
named parties In that decree.
In addition, Mr.. Rogers said,
there was no proof that they
acted In concert with the per-
sons previously named in the
order.
Mr.. Rogers said the admins
tration's proposal regarding
bomhings will make it clear
this is a national problem. :"
He added that 1t has the full
support of FBI Director ]. Ed
gar Hoover.

concerning voting records. the

Coop 10 Ask
Tawes toAct
On Milk Code
Set to Demand
Out-of-Stote
Health Inspection

A direct plea to Gov. TaweS
to tighten Maryland milk reg
ulations was disclosed today on
the heels Of a move by Mont
gomery County to raise stand
ards for milk sales there.
The Maryland-Virginia Milk
Producers Association said 1t
will seek changes in the Mary
land milk code which would
"close a loophole" allowing out
4f-State milk to be certified for
sale there without requiring
health inspections at the source.
The Montgomery County
Council yesterday told its legal
aides it wants a study Of O
possible milk ordinance which
would protect" local farmers
and consumers. The council
also urged that the Washington
Metropolitan Regional Confer
ence call an emergency meeting
of its steering committee to
consider the milk situation.
Priority Given Study
Top priority is to be given
the study. The council sug-
gested that regulations similar
to the tight milk code in force
in the District be considered.
1T is very important for us
to have the same health pro-
lection that District consumers
have. and also that we protect
an important segment of our
economy-our dairy farmers, "
said Mrs. Stella Werner, presi-
dent Of the coutny council.
Dairy farming is the leading
agricultural enterprise in the
upper Montgomery area. Two
Of the county councils seven
members are farmers.
The milk question, which was
not scheduled for yesterdays
council meeting. arose when
Mrs. Werner sought a legal
oponion on the county's right
to enact a separate ordinance
regulating milk sales.
County Attorney Alfred ].
Carter said milk regulations
could be adopted If they didn't
conflict with the Maryland
milk code. II there was q clash,
ne said. then council members
could ask the Maryland Legis-
lature 10 exempt Montgomery
from the State milk rules.
Plan 70 See Tawes
william B. Hooper, general
manager Of the coop, said the
Maryland economy may be
seriously affected BY cuntinu-
ance Of importation Of milk
in competition with that pro-
duced by local farmers. He
said b delegation Of Maryland
farmers viii accompany him
to Annapolis next week to see
the Governor.
Maryland's interest in the
current milk dispute stems
from action taken by Chest
nut Farms (SealtesD Dairy to
import milk from out-of-area

than it has to pay local pro-
ducers.
