Gov. Farris Bryant of Flor
ida told the Senate Commerce
Committee today the proposal
to ban segregation in places of
public accommodation would
Iplace the freedom Of some to
go where they wish above the
freedom of others to own pri-
Vate property.
Although opposed to the
bill, the Florida Governor
took a somewhat different
position from the more out
spoken opposition by Cows,
Ross Barnett Of Mississippi and
George Wallace of Alabama.
Several committee members
congratulated him on the pre-
Sentation of his argument.
Gov. Bryant said he was not
arguing for or against segre-
cation, nor did he question the
power Of the Federal Govern
ment to pass the bill.
Cease for Freedom"
IT am here to argue the
case for freedom" he said.
THE real issue you must re-
solve is between conflicting
demands for freedom. On the
one hand, the traveller de-
mands freedom to buy what
he wishes to buy in a hotel,
a theater or anywhere that
there are things for sale. /
believe that he should have
that freedom provided. of
course, he does not violate the
freedom of Others"
The witness denied that it
is a contest between human
rights and property rights.
Property has no rights" he
continued. Humans have the
right to own property, just as
they have the right to speak,
and to worship and to travel
from State to State"
Gov. Bryant said the goal
of Congress should be to seek
freedom rather than a trans
fer of property rights. He said
all will agree that the traveller
is and should be free to pass
up any motel, restaurant or
other place for any reason.

Ninth Amendment to the Con-
Stitution.
I'VE have heard a great deal
in this last decade about the
Fifth Amendment, the Tenth
Amendment, and the Four

all Of these deserve our respect

Florida Governor. II call your
attention now to another
amendment which has never
been modified or superseded.
1t is the Ninth Amendment and
reads thusly:
1.-The enumeration in the
Constitution, of certain rights,
shall not be construed to deny
or disparage others retained
by the people,
MY petition now is that you
not deny or disparage the right
of the people to own property
that you not further restrict
their freedom"

Senator Cotton, Republican
Of New Hampshire, said he has
had a letter from a retired
judge in his State also express
ing the belief that the public
accommodations bill invades
the reserved rights" referred
to by Gov. Bryant.
Senator Monroney, Democrat
Of Oklahoma, asked Gov. Bry-
ant how Miami handles the
problem when it has a big con-
vention, like the American Le-
gion.
The Governor said it is a
matter for each hotel operator.
He said many of the big-name
hotels integrate voluntarily at
all times.
