Before that candidates were
named in party conventions.
The Senate, in a test last
week, voted 20 to 9 to DO away
with the unit system. which
has reduced the influence Of
the more populous counties.
Tough Issues Remain
Junking of the unit vote
would be the second step taken
by the legislature to diminish
the weight of the small ooun-
ties. Last year, 19 more dele
gates were granted to four big
counties and Baltimore City,
giving metropolitan areas a
combined majority for the first
time In the House.
Thus, three of the big issues
will have moved we'll along
after one month Of the o0-day
session. The toughest ones re-
naming in sight are auto in
spection, congressional re-
districting and slots.
One subcommittee Of the AS

luncheon concluding the coun-
ellis sixth General Assembly.
The more than 800 delegates
representing 81 church bodies
have been meeting in Conven-
ton Hall since last Sunday.
Predicting that 1868 viii go
down in history as "the year Of
crisis" Bishop Mueller charged
that government, business. la
Dor unions, and the church are
the institutions having tremen-
dous influence upon our coun-
try's moral standards, and that
they have all failed.
Their failure came to a cli-
max November % when "our
President, champion Of civil
rights for all people every
where, became the ambushed
victim of hatred gone mad,
the speaker declared.
Sees Guilt by Transference
"Fanatical and bigoted
agitators, who specialize In
controversy for personal finan-
cial gain, did not need to be
linked directly with the assaSA-
nation itself, but their attacks
on the integrity Of our institu-
tons and our leadership can
trigger the irresponsible, mad
dog acts Of the Oswalds and
the Rubys, who seek to take
the law into their own hands
and become the executioners Of
those who do not agree with
them"
Bishop Mueller then ap-
pealed to the churches to show
the way to God and his right
eousness" not by "studied
announcements on the many
issues of our times" but "as
Christians, by our conduct and
manner Of living and inter-
relationships"
The new council head, who
started his three-year term oi
office today, warned that the
race issue must be prosecuted
until Americans Of all races
creeds and conditions are
granted first-claSs citizenship
He pointed out Negroes have
decided their best means Of
gaining civil rights will be
through economic preSsures. "A
threat to profit or porperty car
move a white Protestant q lot
faster than an appeal to 'spir1-
tual' ideals" Bishop Mueller
claimed.

Opening lead: Heart queen.
The defenders led three
rounds of hearts, forcing de-
clarer to ruff in dummy. This
should have warned South i'm
mediately that he was up
against real talent; inexperi-
enced defenders have a horror
of leading dummy's void suit.
Declarer led the queen of
spades from dummy and played
the king of spades from his
hand, hoping to lure out the
ace. No such luck; West calmly
played a low spade on this
trick.
South continued with an
other spade and this time West
took his ace. South held his
breath, hoping for a heart re-
turn. This would allow declarer
to ruff and draw the last trump.
Locked in Dummy
West had a better idea. He
returned a club and now South
was locked in the dummy.
There were only clubs and dia-
monds in the dummy and when
declarer led the third diamond
West defeated the contract by
ruffing.
South should have seen what
sort of defense was in store for
him. When the first trump
trick was refused, South should
have done what he could to
find a way out - however
dangerous.
After winning the first trump
trick with the king. South
should cash dummy's top clubs
and then continue with the ace
and king of diamonds. For
tunately for South, the dia-
monds break % and he es-
capes without a ruff. Then he
can lead another trump to force
out the ace.
Now the defenders cannot
lock him in dummy. Nobody
can lead a diamond. Any other
return allows South to win in

trump.

held because the employe did
not appeal the firing in time.
Subsequently. the high tribunal
referred the case to District
Court to see If the employe had
filed In time.
While no official interpreta-
ton can be made Of the Su-
preme Courts action in the
latest Caplan case, Govern
ment legal officers say that
the high court did not actual
ly reverse its view in the Will
liams case-that in adverse per-
sonnel actions Government
employees have the right to
confront and cross-examine
their accusers.
They point out that the two
cases involved different fac
tors.
In the Williams case - he
was employed by the Air Force
= his accusers we're Air Force
military personnel. Thus, Air
Force If 1t wanted to could
have required his accusers to
appear at his hearing.
However, in the Caplan case,
the accusers were not Govern
ment employees nor military
personnel, but private citizens.
The Government does not have
the legal authority to subpoena
outside witnesses in these
cases. The Supreme Court
could have felt that since Navy
did not have the power TO force
the witnesses 10 appear, the
employe could not expect the
right 10 confront his accusers.
At any rate, Government
legal officials are waiting for
District Court disposition OF
the williams case before draft
ing regulations regarding Fed
eral employe rights In dismissal
and suspension cases. There
seems general accord that the
Supreme Courts stand is that
where the Government does
have the power 10 require the
appearance OF witnesses-when
they are Federal employees or
military personnel - employees
adversely affected have the
right 10 confront and cross
examine their accusers.

Robert Kennedy Holds
Theoter Bios Session

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy today told Southern
theater owners that desegrega-
ton problems should be solved
| in their local communities by
local people.
The Attorney General met in
closed session for 80 minutes
with theater executives repre-
senting some 80 per cent of
Southern movie houses.
After the session, Edwin o..
Guthman, special assistant for
public information, said the
meeting was cordial and fea-
tured a candid exchange of
views"
Continue Talking
No promises were either
sought or made, he said. The
only firm agreement, he said,
was ito continue talking" but
no time was set for another
meeting.
The session was similar to one
held last week with hotel own
ers, as the Attorney General
continued his meetings with
groups and individuals to
provide peaceful solutions to
civil rights problems.
The Attorney General asked
the theater owners to take the
steps they felt could be taken
but did not tell them they had
to do anything.
Getting Views
In light of the Supreme
Court decision last Monday, Mr..
Guthman explained, "the At
torney General was interested
in getting the views and ideas
Of the theater owners and in
giving them his views and
background on what they might
expect"
Asked what he meant by
what the ymight expect" Mr..
Guthman said that Assistant
Attorney General Burke Mar
shall, in charge of the civil
rights division, and Mr.. Ken
nedy gave them an appraisal
of the situation-including the
likelihood of further desegre-
cation demonstrations.
Mr.. Guthman said the At
