Trial by Jury

The American people might well
have been shocked by the position which
the Department of Justice took in the
criminal contempt case against MiSSis-
sippi's Governor Barnett. Evidently they
were not shocked. But this at best is
a tribute to the inuring effect Of an age
In which shock Is relentleSSly piled on
top Of shock.
The essential question is whether
the, Governor is entitled to a jury trial
for violating Federal court order open
ing the University Of Mississippi to
James Meredith, or whether he can be
"Summarily" tried by the judges In a
summary trial there is no indictment
and no Jury.
Solicitor General Cox, representing
the Government in the Supreme Court
earlier this month, argued against a Jury
trial The thrust Of his argument was
that jurieS, at least Southern jurieS,
cannot be trusted in racial cases, and
that therefore they should be dispensed
with. Contempt trials without iuries, he
commended, ARE indispensable to up
holding the rule Of law" and to the
safeguarding Of minority rights.
This is fallacious argument. Grim
inal contempt prosecutions are not de-
signed to obtain compliance with valid
court order. That can be done in
civil contempt proceeding by putting
a man in Jail and keeping him there
until he obeys the order. No one dis
puteS this. The significant point is
that he can obtain his freedom simply
by obeying the order.
Criminal contempt is a different
kettle Of fish. Its purpose is to punish
q man for past diSobedience, much as he
might be punished for committing any
other crime. The difference is that in
the latter situation no one would sug-
gest that he should be denied jury
trial-even though Mississippi jury in
q racial issue might refuse to convict
him.
On March 81, 1858, the Supreme
Court In a to 4 ruling upheld the
summary trial and conviction Of two
Communists for criminal contempt. Jus
tice Black was joined by the Chief JUS

Not Yet

After an interview with him in
Picking, Japanese newsmen have quoted
Foreign Minister Chen vi as declaring
that 1t will be several years" before Red
China will be able to test a nuclear
weapon. This is good news If true. At
very least, it puts off that evil day when
the worlds most populous country
land that will number upwards of bill
lion by the end Of the century-will have
It's own atomic-hydrogen arsenal.
According to the Japanese news
men, Mr.. Chen has blamed the delay on
China's industrial deficiencies. But more
Importation so Peking itself has
charged-is the fact that the Kremlin
has reneged on 1857 agreement to give
the Mao Tze-tung regime sample
atomic bomb, together with technical
data on how to manufacture the weapon
and develop a missile delivery system
for it. Chinese Communist propaganda
has only recently depicted all this as
an example Of Soviet perfidy, and there
is little reason to doubt that the Krem-
lin has in fact reversed itself and de-
cided not to help Mao arm with such
super deadly playthingS.
This is encouraging as far as it
goes. As Foreign Minister Chen has said,
however, Red China-even without So
Wet help-will have such arms in due
course. Meanwhile, there is some COM
fort to be derived from MoScow'S ap-
parent desire to delay, If not to thwart
altogether, the coming of that day.

Farmers PIiqht

The drought as 1t affects
the interest Of farmers and
business is very serious. With
out income, 1t Is difficult to
meet your obligations and
the cost Of operating q farm
today Is very expensive be-
cause the things we use on
the farm are priced by the
manufacturer, whether it be
feed, machinery or fertilizer.
The drought is q big problem
in our operation, but the
prices we are receiving for
our products Is more impor-
tant than any Of the things
that the drought causes.
I know more about milk
prices because my interest
has been the production of
milk for many years. In 1852,
farmers In the Washington
market received 1892 per
100 lbs. Of milk. In 1852 the
farmers received $4.65 per
100 lbs. Of milk. It would not
take an accountant to know
why the farmers are in trou-
bic In this market. The farm
ers receive $1.27 less per
100 lbs. milk than they did 10
years ago when everything
the farmer Is buying has in
creased percentagewise many
times TO what 1t was in 1852.
I write this in the interest
Of the milk producers and
farmers.

On yudqinu Art

The Society Of Washington
Artists is pleased with your
critics account Of our 10th
Annual Show, currently on
view at the Smithsonian In
stitution, 10th and Constitu-
ton ave. In Mr.. Getlein s
fine column are both his per-
sonal selections and impress
sions Of the show as well as a
discussion Of the prize-win-
ming works.
However, Mr.. Getlein is
mistaken in his impression
that the Society's Annual
Exhibits have been juried by
local artists UP to now. For
more than the last 10 years
1t has been the policy of our
group to arrange for an out
of-town Juror for both the
selection Of the p painting
and sculpture, as well as the
choosing Of the prize winners.
That the resulting selections
have had varying qualities is
due to this policy, which
leaves us at the mercy of the
sin gle Juror, once he has
started his work.
Xavier Gonzales was a hap
py choice. We are glad to
agree with Mr.. Getlein.
The Society of Washington
Artists is pleased to acknowl-
edge its debt to Mr.. Frank

Experts at Work

A decision by the Housing Sub
committee Of the House to investigate
complaints against a downtown urban
renewal project in Cleveland is good
news for Washington. The General
Accounting Office, during a study of
the Cleveland program, has sharply
questioned the action of that city in
razing downtown buildings which might
not have been in SubStandard condi-
ton. In turn, the House District Sub
committee, headed by Representative
Dowdy of Texas, is relying heavily on
this complaint in its own effort to
attach unusual restrictions to the bill
authorizing Washington to revitalize
its downtown section through urban
renewal.
At hearing before the Housing
Subcommittee the other day, the mayor
of Cleveland maintained that at times
it Is necessary to acquire and clear
"some basically sound" property in
order to make an area - wide urban
renewal plan effective. Certainly that
is our understanding of the concept
which has been followed around the
country, and which has been sustained
by the courts.
It is possible, as Mr.. Dowdy seems
to think, that the time has come to
change the rules. But If that proves
to be the case, the rules should be
changed on national basis And the
Housing Subcommittee, whose chair
man and members are the real legis-
lative experts in urban renewal, is the
proper group to make the change.
Unless and until that determination
Is made, Mr.. Dowdy should not en-
cumber the District law with restric-

odd Towm'

Tom Connally, known as "Old
Tawm" down in Texas, spent SO years
of his life in the Congress Of the United
StateS-12 in the House and "a in the
Senate. And during all that time, de-
spite what some regarded as his reac-
tionary attitude in such fields as labor
and civil rights, he served In manner
that pleased not only his own constit-
uentS, but the American people in
general.
He had style about HMM terms
of dress, hair-do and elocution-that
reminded one of william Jennings
Bryan, man whose eccentricities and
forensic tricks he deliberately emulated.
But Senator Connally, dead now at SO
after 10 years Of retirement, was in
many ways far more sophisticated and
effective than NebraSka'S Silver-tongued
orator. Further than that, he had a
much larger vision as regards the ma
ture Of the world and Americas mex
tricable involvement in it.
In the last II years Of his career,
Mr.. Connally was chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee. He was not
just a colorful figure in that respect
On the contrary, together with the late
Arthur Vandenberg, he gave excellent
guidance to the Senate and the Nation
during the war years, and he played a
key role in the creation Of the United
Nations. He was properly proud Of this,
just as he was of the part he played in
defeating the court-packing plan Of
Franklin Roosevelt, who had his full
support in practically everything else.
Our city and country are the poorer for
his passing.

Bland Leading Bland

Thoroughly enjoyed your

Goldwater-R Rockefeller paper
debate"
OF specific interest to one
who reads the questions and
answers carefully were their
individual responses to tn e
query on Cuba: "Wh a t
should the United States do
toward gaining the with
drawal Of Russian military
forces from Cuba, and what
steps should be taken to elm
mate the Communist threat
there?" (My italics.)
OF course, both Rockefeller
and Goldwater commented
but avoided saying anything
about what the United States
should do or what steps
should be taken.
Looks like q case Of the

Effects of school over
crowding are never limited to
one school. In order to make
the best adjustment to over
crowding, school boundaries
usually must be hanged,
spreading the overcrowding
to other schools. The scho-
lastic program is quickly af-
fected, because an over
crowded school has little
room for the enriched curri-
culum for which Arlington
has become known.
For the sake Of our chill
dren, and for the sake of the
business which comes to Arl-
ington because Of its good
schools, it is imperative to
vote for the school bonds on
November 5.

tice and by Justice Douglas in powerful
dissent. Justice Brennan diSsented in
separate opinion.) After pointing out
the difference between civil contempt,
designed to obtain compliance, and
criminal contempt, designed to punish,
Justice Black observed:
Summary trial Of criminal contempt as
now practiced, allows q single functionary Of
the state, q judge. to lay down the law, to
prosecute those whom he believes have vio-
lated his command Gas interpreted by him),
to sit in Judgment" on his own charges, and
then within the broadest kind Of bounds to
punish as he sees fit. It seems inconsistent
with the most rudimentary principles Of our
system Of criminal justice, system carefully
developed throughout the centuries to pre-
vent oppressive enforcement Of oppressive
laws, to concentrate this much power in the
hands Of any officer Of the state. No official
regardless Of his position or the purity and
nobleneSs Of his character. should be granted
such autocratic omnipotence. Indeed any
other officer were preSumptuous enough to
claim such power cannot believe the courts
would tolerate 1t for an instant under the
Constitution.
To the argument that courts surely
have this summary power because they
have always been thought to have it,
Justice Black retorted: There is no
valid reason why they the courts
should be singled out for an extraor-
binary and essentially arbitrary mode Of
enforcement. Unfortunately judges and
lawyers have told each other the con-
trary so often that they have come to
accept it as the gospel truth"
But back to Governor Barnett. Once
again this issue of the right to a jury
trial is before the high court and the
public should not be unaware or indif-
ferent.
For our part, we would like to sug-
gest two things. If the Department Of
Justice is right in its contention that
jurieS are not to be trusted in criminal
contempt cases in Mississippi, 1t follows
as matter of law that they are not to
be trusted in any other State. Second,
it is wrong to think that minority rights
are served by denying jury trials in sum-
mary proceedings The real effect Is to
threaten If not to subvert the rights Of
all Of us.

But the Essay" Is essenti-
ally a technical work. How
could it have been otherwise?
Mr.. Hyman is not a scientist;
ne offers no CLOSES to the
most technical sections, nor
does he indicate what has
held up and what has been
modified in the years since
Darwin drafted his essay.
And, again, Darwin for To-

So the reader is helpless.
Some Of the Essay" Is I'm

skipped. Elsewhere he has no
idea whether he ought to make
some effort to remember &C.
caSional details or whether he
ought to avoid learning the
outmOded biology Of the mid
die Of the last century.
Little Guidance
There is no guidance except
Francis Darwin'S scholarly
notes on the state Of the manu-
script text. notes that are in
tended solely for the informa-
ton of the scholar.
Then Mr.. Hyman offers us
bits of "The Expression of the
Emotions in Man or Animals"
1.-THE Descent of Man." and
two highly technical works,
"InSectivorous Plants" and
1.-THE Formation of Vegetable
Mould through the Action of
Worms" Finally, there are
tantalizing bits from two of
Darwin'S letters.
Mr.. Hyman'S introduction
does not explain this extra
ordinary melange. Presum-
ably he is thinking Of Darwin
as a literary artist.
Darwin himself emphatic
ally disagreeS. And while his
style bears no resemblance to
the cant that passes for mod
ern American scientific prose,
it is not superior to the best
current British technical writ
ing.
But even If one were to
think of Darwin as a diStin-
guished man Of letters, one
would still have to admit that
science must not learned from

Of New York, has gone q
good deal farther. with this
harShly candid observation:
"As Goldwater stands now,
I am not willing to commit
myself to support him, even
II he is the Republican
nominee"
This Is strong stuff, espe-
cially within q party with a
long tradition Of closing
ranks after the convention
has spoken. If words have
their ordinary meaning, it
means that the anti-Gold-
waterttes are going for
broke. They intend to stop
him or deliberately to
chance fatelly splitting the
Republican Party and max
ing President Kennedy a
shoo-in for reelection.
Fear Foreign Policy
No doubt some Of the mo-
tive can be put down simply
to Gov. Rockefeller's desper-
ate current situation in his
race with Senator Goldwa-
ter. The Goldwater Republic
cans, however, would be
making q serious mistake to
suppose that only the am
billions Of the Governor and
the Rockefeller wing are here
involved. These people-quite
apart from their natural de-
sire to cut Senator Goldwa-
ter down-deeply and gen.
timely fear him on foreign
policy. And they are capable
OF spreading this fear, with
huge and perhaps fatal harm
to Senator Goldwater's cam
paign, among other Repub-
licans and independents and
diSsident Democrats who are
not Rockefeller partisans as
such.
Has Senator Goldwater
really favored our Withdraw
al from the United Nations,
as the Governor charges?
Does the Senator truly favor,
in general, policies Of q dan
gerous belligerence? Senator
Taft was not in truth an
"iSolationist" - but many
thought he was. Senator
Goldwater's refusal to debate
Gov. Rockefeller Is under
standable, since this would
only divide the COP. For
ms own sake, however, and
for the sake Of q clear plain
record for the voters, the
Senator ought In his own
time and his own words
state with cold precision Just
what line he would follow
in world affairs. And Gov.
Rockefeller should do the
same.
These issues are so vital
that every man seeking the
presidency should make him
self clear upon them-again
IN his own words and his
own way. The country, and
history, are entitled to no
less.

Mr.. PaSSman got the scent recently
on one of his economy bird-dogging

ter-American Development Bank for
its Board of Directors meeting down
in Rio.
It wasn't Just the $143 ,358-the
bank beat that record this year with
a $207,501 meeting in Caracas. It was
a $17,745 item labeled representation"
that had the Louisiana legislator hop

Some citizens are concerned
as to whether there is a con-
nection between Hoffman
Boston Junior-Senior High
School and the school bond
referendum which will come
before Arlington voters on
November 5.
Although not a dollar Of
the $1,950,000 Of proposed
school bonds will go to Hoff-
man-BoSton, this school has
been brought squarely into
the campaign because oppo-
nents Of the bond issue are
saying that Hoffman-Bo
will be closed and new class
rooms will be built to replace
it. These people are mistak-
en-. There is no plan to aban-
don Hoffman-BoSton.
Hoffman-B Boston Is located
in a section Of Arlington oc-
cupied by Negro + mile S.
There are 230 senior high
school students there this
year and 400 in Junior high
school. The total enrolment
of $50 approaches the build
ing's planned capacity Of $50
students. Also on the same
grounds is the Hoffman-BoS-
ton elementary school.
It is expensive to operate
a complete high school pro-
gram for only $50 students.
So many different courses
must be offered that often
the classes are small. Some
courses are not offered at all.
Because Of this situation, the
Arlington School Board has
agreed that eventually the
senior high school students
at Hoffman-Boston must be
transferred to Arlington's
