NAACP Needs Funds
To Defend Jackson
Freedom Riders

The NAACP Legal Defense and
Educational Fund will assume the
legal defense of Freedom Riders
who were arrested in jackson,
Miss, it was announced today.
Legal Defense Fund attorneys
agreed to come into the Jackson
cases after negotiation with James
Farmer, National Director and
Carl Rachlin, General Counsel of
| the Congress of Racial Equality,
which sponsored the Freedom
Rides.
Jack Greenberg, the Funds
General Counsel, estimated that
| the cost of legal work alone in the
jackson cases could reach SIS, 900.
He stated this amount should cover
the defense of the more than 800
demonstrators arrested in Jackson
since last May, when the demon
strations began.
The Legal Defense Fund is not
now able to post bond for all of
the convicted Riders, for this ex-
penditure would exceed $177,0OO
for this stage of the case, MIR.
Greenberg pointed out. At future
stages the bond costs could rise
to several times this amount.
"Our bidget is only $45O,OOo, .
he said, land we can't afford to
lessen our work in other import
ant areas, such as school desegre-
CATION He added, however, that
increased contributions to the Fund
might make it possible for most
of the bail money to be posted.
One anonymous contribution OF
$40, 900 was received last week for
this purpose.

S. Supreme Court, refused to
to hand the mandate down to
the lower court or to take any ac-
ton the high courts ruling un-
til January, 1859. 1t then affirmed
the 100000 contempt citation on
other grounds.
The case was again taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States
which, in June, 1859, again revers-
ed the judgment of the Alabama
Supreme Court. Still defiant, the
Alabama court sat on the United
States Supreme Court mandate
for longer than a year without
taking any action.
In June, 1860, the NAACP
brought suit in the federal district
court, asking that court TO hear
and determine whether the state
had a right to ban all NAACP ac-
tivities in Albania. The history of
the litigation was pointed out, and
it was alleged that unless the Fed
eral court acted it was clear that
the Association would never be
permitted to bring the state ban on
its activities to a court test.
The district court dismissed the
action and an appeal was taken
to the Court of Appeals. The Court
of Appeals, by a 81 vote, took
the position that the Federal court
should not act until the state had
an opportunity to provide a hear
ing.
The Supreme Court, of the
United States by its October 233
ruling is giving the state one last
chance to provide the NAACP a
hearing, but has attempted to
make certain that if it does not the
Federal courts will act
The trial Judge in this case is
Walter B. Jones who is not only
an ardent segregationist but is al
so openly anti-NAACP. In his
campaign for reelection in 1858
he made a public speech promis

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: Today I heard my
daughter ask my wife about a
dress ad featuring "mohair"
dresses. The word-at least as
applied to dresses was appar-
emily new to both of them.
Asked my opinion, I said that
the only mohair 1 could recall
was some stiffish black up
holstering material used on
sofas in my grandfather's day.
1t would, I noted, seem an
unlikely fabric for dresses, since
the stiffish fibers had a way
Of scratching any bare skin
exposed to it. OF course, in
Grandad's day, there was pre-
cious little skin left uncovered.
In today's world of shorts and
sunback dresses, though, it's
no wonder the mohair sofa has
gone out of fashion.
Seriously, though, is this the
same fabric that's now being
used in high fashion dresses? ?
If so, our fair ladies are even
loonier than they we're a couple
of years ago when the sack
and the chemise we're all the
rage. - HARRIED HUSBAND,
Hackensack, NJ.

but here goes. "Mohair" is
a generic term (from the
Ara brio word "mukhayyar'D
meaning the hair of the angora
goat and fabric made from
this hair. It's we'll thought of
in fabric circles because it will
outwear wool and is nearly
three times as strong.
It's true that mohair has
been used primarily in the
making of materials for up
holstery and Innings but, ac-
cording to George Linton's au-
thoritative Modern Textile
Dictionary" moh air is. also
used for braid, felt hats,
plushes and fancy dress mate
rialS." What's more, my own
distaff consultantS tell me that

you still got to be. but you
still have to be bright enough
to hold all the plays in your

The character of the player
has changed. There's a fellow

Starting with the lads |

they all seem to use post-col-
lege pro ball as a stepping
stone to a career, including
law and medicine.
It seems a little odd to that

to be regarded as a cute below

who do not consider them

that a better world can and will be

Cheering Tears?

According to the Wall Street Journal,
people who make tear gas are doing very
well right now in terms Of selling their
product and earning fair profit. Their
market is as wide as the restive world,
and 1t is particularly active in these days
of "the wind of change time of
upheaval, when the forces of law and
order have their hands full trying to
cope with various types Of mobs, includ-
ing particularly the ones that are con-
trolled and manipulated by Communist
professionals.

thing that makes the rioters eyes weep

harmless and perhaps even salutary
manners selling better at present

manufacturers are therefore optimistic
in a reluctant or Shame-faced sort of
way. They themselves, of course, would
like to see the advent of tranquility
everywhere, but they recognize that
such a wonderful development seems
improbable in the extreme at present.
Naturally, in one respect, as people in
favor of peace, this saddens them. On
the other hand, as producers Of an item
that thrives on disorder, there is
measure of gladness, in their hearts.
Clearly, this is q situation that
creates all sorts of schizophrenic dis
turbances in the tear-gas industry, and
it helps to explain why psychiatry con-
tinues to wax strong in our bewitched
and bewildered world. Tears and

IT Shouldn't Happen Here

'~r'A The manager Of a Baltimore tele-
vision station, in presenting an unprec-
edented re-enactment of jury delibera-
stionS in the Melvin ReeS murder trial,
said that what the viewers were
about to see couldn't happen in Russia"
We would go further and say that such
a, TV show, staged by actual jurors in
the case and revealing in great detail
what went on in the privacy Of the
fury room, shouldn't happen in Ameri-
ca, either. ..r
-.!u The realistic re-enactment was
ballyhooed by the announcer as "the
greatest drama of American Justice
trial by jury" But it traditionally has
been a basic precept of American
justice that the discussions behind the
locked doors Of jury room leading to
verdict are secret. This Is protection
for the jurors as well as for the orderly
processes Of justice.
The timing OF the TV show was
especially bad-aS is clear from the
effect on the scheduled sentencing Of
ReeS for the kidnap-killing of Mrs.
Mildred Jackson and her five-year-old
u daughter Susan Anne. Staged on the
Il eve Of the sentencing, the show has
brought a protest by defense counsel
4 and decision by the court to delay the
Il sentencing for at least a week. The
defense attorney charged that the show
indicated that the Jurors considered
evidence not introduced at the trial. He
was granted time to examine the taped
recording of the show, pending another
appearance in court.
II It has been the custom In most
|; jurisdictions, it is true, for reporters to
interview individual Jurors after a
verdict, with view usually to finding
how each voted. But to induce the
Jurors as body, or majority of them
20 out Of IL in the Rees case), to stage
TV re-enactment Of the secret
deliberations is carrying "the right to
know" too far. If this sort of thing is
to be permitted generally, why not un-
lock the jury room doors and let the Tv
cameras record the real proceedings
live and in color? The sanctity Of the
jury room would be destroyed, of course,
and the Jurors might well become more
interested In histrionics than Justice
but think Of the fun the public would
have in watching this real-life drama" :"

Most UncomrodeIy

Buried in the back pages Of
one of your issues recently
was the highly interesting
item that Albania has ac-
cused the good old Soviet
Union of spying. To the best
of my knowledge. this is the
first time that one member
of that well-known camp of
peace has accused another Of
this most uncomradely act,
to say nothing of the fact
that the camp elder has been
named as the accused.
While it is hardly news when
a country reports that the
Soviet Union has been nabbed
spying, I could not help
but feel that intra- communal
spying of this nature is some
what more deserving of at
tention than the run-of-the-
mill, everyday type of Soviet
espionage. If nothing else,
Albania's charge indicates
that contrary to what that
eminent collective of free
dom fighters in the Kremlin
may say, socialism" does not
eliminate all friction between
countries, or if you wish,
between peoples.
Counting on support from
Its Red Chinese friends,
Albania has taken a step
of no little significance in
hurting this charge at the
workers paradise. How far
Albania can go in, twisting
the big bears tail (or tale,
either spelling has merritt, re-
mains to be seen.
If the colonial powers
chickens have come home to

Khrushchev's shrimp (cray-
fish. to be exact), may not
learn to whistle? Mao and
Chou may induce Albania to
whistle even more loudly,
especially since that famous
whistle-stopper, the Soviet
army, is several Yugoslavian
kilometers in the distance.
1t Is also interesting to
ponder what may be going
through the minds Of spy
catchers in Bucharest, Buda-
pest, East Berlin, Prague,
Sofia, Warsaw, etc. They
have been so busy chasing
Western spies, now, horror

Grateful Parent

This is a letter Of gratitude
to both the D. C. Society for
Crippled Children and those
who have supported it.
Three years ago, when I
first came in contact with the
D. C. Society for Crippled
Children, my daughter, aged
two, was badly handicapped
by cerebral palsy, unable to
sit alone or even turn over.
Today, she Is beginning to
walk and talk, feeds herself,
is bright and alert and inter-
ested in everything around
her.
During this time, in close
association with the staff at
the society, I observed the
tireless training methods of
the therapiSts and teachers,
and the remarkable results
achieved with their students.
They have all earned my
deepest gratitude and admir-
alton.
The D. C. Society for
Crippled Children is also
known as the Easter Seal
Society. I would like to feel
that I am helping them in
some way, though small, by
urging wholehearted sup
port during the present Easter
Seal campaign-not only by
parents of crippled children,
but by all who care to help
in the work Of giving these
children the opportunity to
lead full and productive lives.
