Mr.. Blackwell asked, motioning
toward a heavy glass water
pitcher on the defense table.
No Water Cooler
II don't like to deprive de-
fense counsel of a pitcher of
water" said Judge Holtzoff,
who remarked that someone
apparently forgot" to install
water coolers in the courtrooms
when they were built.
The judge said he would
speak to the United States
marshals about moving the
water pitcher to the far end
of the defense table so it would
be beyond the reach of an up
set defendant.
After the brief discussion,
Mr.. Blackwell moved his seat
to the place the judge appeared
to prefer, his back again toward
the defendant seated at a
nearby table.

a week ago when he was sitting
with his back to a defendant.
Suddenly the defendant
screamed, overturned a heavy
oak table and pinned Mr.. Ca
putty between his chair and the
prosecution table. The at
torney was not injured.
Holtzoff Alters Arrangement
After the incident Judge
Holtdoff amended the practice
of having prosecutors sit near
the bench in a way that pre-
vented them from seeing the
defendant.
But today the old order was
restored, to Mr.. BlackWell's ap-
parent discomfort. Judge Holtz-
off explained there was nothing
to worry about - he had the
defense table anchored to the
floor.
What about that pitcher?"

You Cant Deny Voting Rights
(Reprinted from The Birmingham News)
GUEST EDITORIAL

The Justice Department has filed
suit challenging State Of Mississippi
laws governing voter registration.
That the federal government wait
ed so long may be the only surprising
thing. Naturally Mississippians are
disturbed, even angry over the suit.
Governor Ross Barnett said the effort
was "an attempt by the Kennedy adj
ministration to win the Negro vote"
Tt may be that. But it is more than
that.
Two principal provisions in Mis-
sissippi law drawing Justice Depart
ment action are: One requiring a
registration applicant to "read and
write" and also to "give a reasonable
Interpretation of any section of the
Constitution and to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the registrar a reason
able understanding of the duties and
obligations of citizenship under a con-
stitutional form of government"
The other provision is one requir-
ing ballot applicants to be of "good
moral character" There also was a pro-
vision allowing a third party to chal-
lenge character of an applicant.
For The Ignorant
Governor Barnett responded to the
suit promptly, saying that eff the JUS
tice Department doesn't want voters
to be of good moral character then |
assume it wants voters of bad moral
character = hoodlums and criminals"
He said he assumed the department
wants government of the ignorant, by
the ignorant and for the ignorant"
These are Incorporate remarks.
Governor Barnett is an astute gentle
man. He must be assumed to under
stand adequately legal background of
such a challenge. Issues involved all
are thoroughly covered in previous
cases.
Alabama's once-well known "Bos-
well Amendment" was passed in 1916
to require applicants to "read and
write, understand and explain any arti-
Gle" in the Constitution. This was
thrown out by the Supreme Court in
a 1919 Mobile County suit against
registrars.
Endless Argument
Obvious weakness in the Missis-
sippi position is that though the pro-
visions may have been wholly sincere
in origin and intent, it is impossible to
set suitable criteria by which judg-
ment can be made as to a treason
able Interpretation" of a constitutional
section. Lawyers could argue about
what's reasonable" endlessly. Putting
voter qualification in a registrars

Literary Test Example

The South, admittedly, has seen
the ground from which it fights great
ly and steadily narrowed. Yet there
is sound ground, from time to time
at least, on which to fight. An exam
pie is effort of the administration to
pass a sixth-grade literacy test law.
Here was a ridiculous effort to apply
a mid-grade school intelligence test to
a voter application. That such a hard
and fast rule would open doors to the
unqualified is certain. The administra-
tlon effort was defeated, and help in
the effort was won from non-Southern-
ers who knew the measure was out Of
Keeping with reality.
Common sense remains a neces-
sary yardstick in setting up Southern
arguments. It is good also to look at
the record and restudy even recent
history once in a while.
