other national organizations con-
Cerned with civil rights: American
Jewish Congress, American Veter-
ans Committee, Americans for
Democratic Action, Anti-Defama-
ton League, International Union
of Electrical Workers, and United
Automobile Workers of America.
In a joint statement released
this week the seven organizations
ask for the immediate abolition
of the tax through federal legis-
lation." Moreover, the statement
asserts, 1T is a travesty to call a
constitutional amendment a civil
rights measure when Congress has
the constitutional power to abolish
the poll tax by legislation as the
Attorney General has testified .
There is no more reason for pro-
ceeding in the civil rights field by
way of constitutional amendment
when there is ample legislative
authority than there is to proceed
by way of constitutional amend
ment in any other field"
The organizations sharply con-
denim a clause in the pending
measure which provides that
nothing in this article shall be
construed to invalidate any pro-
visions of law denying the right
to vote to paupers or persons sup
ported at public expense or by
charitable institutions"
Such a proposal, If enacted in
the Constitution, would, the state
ment charges, give this anti
democratic concept a respectable
ty which it has never had before,
and which we regard with the
greatest adherence"
Furthermore, the s t a t e m e nt
points out, enactment of this
provision would open a Pandora's
box of legislative pettifogging, and
the litigation which would be re-
quired to block attempts to disen-
franchise the poor by legislative
redefinitions of the words 'paupers
of persons supported at public ex-
pense' would jam court calenders
for years"

Historically and morally we know that
freedom is anchored in a realistic view of
the nature of responsible man, and in his
nature as a whole. And this has challenging
educational implications especially in a
time in which family, church and communi-
ty have in varying ways lost a good deal of
their effectiveness as educational agencies.
Man has a body as well as a mind, man has
glands as well as a brain, and free man has
need for disciplined emotions as well as
for disciplined mind. 1t may be fatal gap
in our total defense of free society to over
look the role of disciplined emotion.-H. G..

SAFETY STEP
Court Burs
ThrowubIe
Pitchers

Lightweight plastic water
pitchers have quietly replaced
the heavy glass ones formerly
found on counsel tables at Dis
trict Court. They're safer.
Court officials say the switch
was made because the light
plastic pitchers would be less
dangerous if ornery or beserk
defendants decide to throw
them.
Several weeks ago, a defend
ant in one criminal case went
wild and upset a heavy table
on a prosecutor. After that
the judge had the table bolted
to the floor.
Later, a prosecutor in the
same courtroom told the judge
he was worried because the
glass water pitcher was placed
where a defendant could reach
it.
The judge had the heavy
pitcher moved to the far end
of the table.
This week all the pitchers
disappeared from the court
rooms. A court official said
some judges had indicated con-
Germ over them.
Now, what about the water
glasses? No problem; they've
been using paper cups all along

If the four had decided to

Mr.. McKeldin had consid-

sort of SWITCHBOARD on ice for
about an hour and a half. A
bullseye painted on the ice at
each end of the 1873 foot rink

object is to slide a stone down

possible to the center of the

Skill comes when that stone
is thrown. Made of granite, it is
cupped out on the bottom and
therefore has a small area of
friction. The stone never goes
straight. Depending on how
it is thrown it will twist or
curl" either to the right or
left. thus weaving a twisted,
but hopefully, definite path.

Mrs. James Murdoch.
The broom - thicker and
shorter-handled with longer

that many who do the actual

the cold.
Watching them, it is no.

go, the game has definite ad-
vantages. You don't have to
strap anything such as skis or
skates to your feet. And al
though a few started down the
ice when they tried to let GO
of the 4-pound stone they use,
curriers' insist it is a game of
skill rather than strength.
There are four members to
