Corporal Punishment,

Junior High School Teachers

for including a definition OF
corporal punishment is that SC
many people thought it meant
the teacher couldn't touch the

some clear idea of what it is,
and what it isn't.
Making a child stand for any
length of time, she said, is
definitely one of the things
we don't approve" 1t qualities
as corporal punishment because
it can be as painful, and as
harmful, as more severe dis
ciplinary measures.

Feb. 6 (AP).-John Randolph
Hopkins, a one-time millionaire
who had been living in a shack

to have the President appoint
Federal registrars would not
work.
Mr.. Rogers case rested
largely on the fact that the
registrars would be dealing
only with Federal elections,
whereas the court referees
could cover both State and
Federal elections under the
anti-discrimination power of
the 18th Amendment.
Describes Dilemma
The Attorney General laid
heavy emphasis on the fact
that most States use either
voting machines or consoli-
dated ballots listing State and
Federal candidates together
He argued that State voting
officials would be confronted
with a dilemma and he said he
does not see how they could
resolve it.
ITO hand the voter the COM
plete ballot and thus permit
him to vote in the States elec-
ton would involve a probable
violation of State law" said
Mr.. Rogers. ITO mark out or
tear off those portions of the
ballots dealing only with State
and local elections would prob
ably constitute defacing the
ballot and make it void. To
refuse to hand the voter a
ballot at all would probably be
a violation of Federal law. The
problem would, of course, be
aggravated in areas where vot-
ing machines are employed"
No Referee Problem
The Attorney General insis-
ted that these problems would
not arise under the court ref
cree plan because the court
has the same authority to en-
force the 18th Amendment in
State elections as we'll as for
Federal Offices.
The testimony of the Attor-
ney General ended the hearing,
and Chairman Hennings, Dem
ocrat of Missouri, announced
the Rules Committee will meet
February II to consider the
subject.
Senator Hennings said he
hopes the committee will make
some recommendation to the
Senate on how best to protect
voting rights, but he would not
venture a prediction as to what
that decision would be.

Of New York, still is trying to
find a way to combine the reg

to avoid a split in the ranks of
supporters of civil rights legis-
lation.
Debate Starts February Is
Senator HenriingS said it
would not be possible for the
Rules Committee to meet next
week because some members
will be absent. This means the
Senate will begin the civil
rights debate on February Is
before the Rules Committee
has taken any action on the
controversy between registrars
and referees.
But individual Senators have
a wide range of other civil
rights proposals to offer, deal
ing with school integration, the
bombing of public buildings
and other problems. The de-
bate is expected to last several
weeks, giving the Rules Com
mittee ample time to make a
report.
Mr.. Rogers is scheduled to
repeat his testimony before the
House Judiciary Committee
Tuesday. Indications are the
Senate will begin the floor fight
over civil rights before the
House can pass bill, but a bill
may arrive from the House be-
fore the debate ends. If it does
not, the Senate can attach its
civil rights program into some
other House bill.

Angry Protest
At Deloy Filed
BY Justice Clark
BY ROBERT e. CLARK
Star stan Writer

The Government faced an
other court delay today in its
long effort to brand the Com
munist Party an arm Of the
Soviet Union and send more OF
its members to jail.
Over the angered protest OF
Justice Clark. the Supreme
Court yesterday postponed un-
til October 10 arguments on
three major Communist cases
1t agreed to review once
again at that time the long
contested order for the Com
munist Party of the United
States to register with the At
torney General as an arm of
the world Communist con-
spiracy.
At the same time it will hear
two cases challenging the con-
stitutionality of the member
ship clause of the Smith Act.
Clark's Dissent Bitter
These cases had been sched-
uled for argument this month
one of them for the third time
over the past five years-but
the court decided it would be
better to hear all three at once
because of the intertwined
legal issues.
1T delays for another year

acts of Congress-the Smith
Act and the Internal Security
Act Of 1880" Justice Clark said
in a biting dissent.
The Justice Department has
been seeking ever since the in
ternal security law was passed
to enforce its restrictions on
the Communist Party. The
registration order issued by the
Subversive Activities Control
Board in 1858 was first before
the Supreme Court in 1856
and was upheld by the Circuit
Court of Appeals here for the
second time last July.
