U.S. Anti-Lynch
BUI First Time
By Richard Jackson
BROOKLYN (ANP)—The New|
York County Lawyers associaion’s
j committee on federal legislation j
last week approved a Federal j
anti-lynching bill for the first,
time. The body endorsed a
| measure by Rep. Emanel Celler,
Brooklyn Democrat, which it feels
would violate no state’s Tight,
j Atty. George D. Homstein,
committee chairman, state that
its members believe the Celler bill
avoids conflict with states rights
by establishing a cause of Federal
action against lynch mobs on
grounds other than assault and
murder. “Lynching constitutes
murder and assault and these
crimes are punishable under all
state statutes,” he explained.
He pointed out that under the
Celler bill, prosecution of lynch
mobs could be undertaken only if
it were shown that the lynchings
were because of race, color, re
ligion or national origin, wherein
a protection guaranteed by the
Constitution would be violated.
