WATSON Says Brownell's Program Ignores Need For Action On Civil Rights Question I Stating that Attorney General Herbert Brownell’s judical pro gram for 1956 “completely ignores an obvious need for strong action on civil rights”, Congressman Charles C. Diggs, Jr. (D-Mich.) has criticized the plan approved by President Eisnehower as being “inadequate and compromising”. The Brownell program submit ted to the President on October 21 calls for (1) Legislation to outlaw invasion of the privacy of juries; (2) Construction of two “maximum custody” prisons at the combined cost of $16,500,000.00; (3) The ap pointment of Federal public de fenders and (4) The creation of 20 additional Federal Judgeships. j While noting that all of the At torney General’s proposals were | aimed at the serious national crime ! problem, Diggs expressed disap pointment that Brownell, in spite of universal concern over the Emmett Till case and continuing j discrimination against Negroes in the South, did not consider the subject of civil rights worthy of mentioning. The Michigan Representative added that he felt that the issue' of civil rights alone is important enough to merit a conference be tween Brownell and the President. “Undemocratic treatment of A merica’s Negro citizens, especially that of denying them the right to vote”, stated Diggs, “is more crim | inal than any of the problems that j Mr Borwnell’s program seeks to correct. Many flagrant violations I of stated constitutional privileges prevail through racial discrimina 1 tion . . .and nothing is being done to correct this situation.” Recalling that the Justice De partment snubbed an invitation from the House Judiciary Commit tee to discuss ways and means of strengthening the Government’s power to intervene in cases invol ving the denial of civil liberties, Representative Diggs said that Brownell’s outline “reflects an ap parent manouver by the Admin istration to steer clear of the pri mary aspects of the civil rights problems.” lne Detroit Congressman also charged the Attorney General with “formulating his program to be of political benefit to the Republican party”. Diggs reasoned that the creation of new openings for public offen ders and Judges called for by the program could be construed as an “extension of Republican Party patronage which certainly will not harm its efforts in the 1956 cam paign.” Continuing in the same vein, Congressman Diggs termed Brow nell’s dodging of the civil rights issue as “an open appeasement of southern forces for political pur poses”.

Catholics Endorse Bond Issue Executives of the Citizens Committee For School Bpnds were elated today by an endorse ment of the Omaha public school bond propositon from Ahchbishop Gerald T. Bergan of the Omaha Catholic diocese. Morris E. Jacobs) one of three co-chairman of the Ctizens Com mttiee said, “We are certainly pleased at the issuance of this statement that will be a powerful force in calling attention to the need for a bond issue to finance Omaha public schools.” Archbishop Bergan issued the following statement: “Few duties rank in importance with that of providing a proper! education for all children of a community. This duty is one that the people of f Omaha cannot evade. For a proper education, there must be classroom space for child ren and it should be well-lighted, well-designed space, instead of substandard and make-shift. “For these reasons, at the No vember 22 election, I shall vote for the issuance of bonds to fi nance construction o f public schools in Omaha.” Jacobs said that if bonds for schools are issued, Omaha’s child ren will benefit educationally and Omaha taxpapers will benefit immediately economically. “Seld om are the voters given a chance such as they will have on Novem ber 22.” Jacobs continued. “They can vote for the school bonds with the prospect that their taxes for school buildng- purposes will not be raised and might even be low ered. Or, they can vote against the bonds with the prospect that the Omaha School Board wall carry out the building program anyway and at least double their taxes for a period of years.” Other co-chairmen of the Citi zens Committee Fox’ School Bonds are W. Dale Clark and W. C. Fraser. They have pointed out that “already 3,800 students are using substandard classrooms or are going to school only half days. During the next six years, the elementary school population in Omaha will increase by anoth er 6,000 girls and boys,” the co chairmen said. There is no legal limit to the amount of taxes that the Board of Education can levy, they noted. To provide the schools that will be needed within the next six years on a pay-as-you-go basis, however, would require that taxes for school construction be doubl ed or tripled for the six-year period, Clark and Fraser said.

Nebit) said this week that the Republican Administration has come a long way toward putting the Government back on a re sponsible financial footing. He commented on the Admin istration’s optimistic midyear budget review from which Trea sury Secretary Humphrey con cluded, “We think we should, and that we can, balance the budget this year.” Senator Hruska noted an in crease in tax revenue reflecting the nation’s prosperity is respon sible for the lowered estimate of this year’s deficit. He commended the Administration for its Gov ernment-wide campaign, to cut spending ot eliminate the $1.7 bil lion deficit still estimated for the end of fiscal 1956 next June. Too Early Hruska said it is prfemature to speculate on tax cuts next year. “While we are closer than ever to a balanced budget/’ he said, “pressures already are heavy for tax cuts in the next session of Congress. It would be ridiculous to borrow more money to finance a tax cut,” he added, “so we must intensify our efforts to reduce government spending.” He pointed out that a spending! 1 cut of only 3 per cent in the next nine months could balance the budget and that Secretary Hum phrey indicates that further cuts are possible without dama ging our defense program. “No one will argue that tax cuts are not needed,” the Sena tor said, “but we must build a solid foundation under tax cuts with further spending curtail ment to achieve and maintain a balanced budget.” More Cuts Needed He pointed out that the Re publican 83rd Congress voted $7.4 billion in tax cuts in 1954 only after sharp spending reduc tions. “The same procedure must be followed with further tax cuts,” he said, “so we wron’t un dermine our progress toward fiscal responsibility govern ment.” “With emplop)nent, wages, profits, and production at record levels,” Hruska added, “it is time we began a program of debt retirement.” “It will be up to Congress in the next session,” the Senator concluded, “to resist unnecessary new spending schemes. We can not use our prosperity as an ex cuse to plunge the nation fur ther into debt.” PULL THE PLUG ON STOMACH UPSET Half-alive, headachy, when constipa tion sours stomach?

Curtis stated this week he believes that recon sideration of the Status of Forces Treaty will receive the close at tention of the Congress early in the next session. Under this treaty American soldiers guilty of crimes in overseas posts of duty are tried in local courts. Senator Curtis supported an amendment during the last session of Con gress which would have nullified this treaty. Senator Curtis said his opposi tion to the treaty was borne out by a Decent study made by Con gressman Frank J. Becker Rep - N.P.) who yisited several Ameri can G. !.’s in French jails.
