Vol. 38 No. 22 ~ _ Friday, August 16,~1957 10c Per Copy Talk Impeachment Of Six In Supreme Court Gov. Anderson Tells Omaha Rotary Club Need of Additional Gas Tax The importance of the addi> tional one cent gasoline tax to Nebraska’s highway program was •tressed on Wednesday, August 7 by Governor Victor E. Ander son in an address to members of the Omaha Rotary Club. Speaking on important pro grams and projects of the state, Governor Anderson devoted much of his discussion to the highway program. “The Interstate Highway pro gram will be as important to the development of our state as the coming of the railroad a century ago,” he said. The extra cent of gasoline tax will be a vital factor in the* early construction of the Inter-1 state, and places its cost almost entirely on tbe users,” the gov ernor said, “Those who use the highways should pay the major share of their cost. They should not become an additional bur den on property owners.” Calling attention to the fact that a substantial portion of gasoline tax revenue goes to the counties and cities, tbe Gov ernor cited the benefits that will flow to every area of Nebraska from this source. “All citibs of Nebraska wlil receive direct benefits from the improved highway pattern,” he •aid, "not only those located on the Interstate.” I Thousands of miles of state highway in Nebraska are still gravel roads, the' governor said. The people of our state are en titled to more paved highways, and the reduced cost of main tenance will help pay for them.’ Tbe additional one cent of tax will cost the average motorist less than $6 per year, he con cluded. “It doesn’t make sense to pay for an expensive auto mobile and fail to provide the highways for their operation.” I Mrs. Mamie Reed Mrs. Mamie Reed, age 91 years, 2914 Lake Street, passed away early Tuesday morning, August 13th at a local hospital.

Mr. HRUSKA. Mr. President. I yield myself 6 minutes. The bill which is before the Senate is a progressive step to ward wholesome and long-needed civil-rights legislation. I shall vote for it. The civil-rights bill, in its original^ form, and even now after extensive amendment, creates no new civil rights as such. It does provide for means of enforceing civil rights which have existed by reason of our Constitution and by our statutes for at least 75 years. This is done by vesting in the United States Attorney General the power to intervene in situations where civil rights are threaten ed in their exercise and full cn-| joyment. He may invoke equity powers of a proper court from whom he will seek appropriate orders to the end that all thingsi are done which should be done by proper officials to secure en forcement of the rights at stake. The Senate in its wisdom has! seen fit to strike from the bill part III, which pertained to civil rights other than the right to vote. I Hut ta belief that there should he m> criptlng trial bv tury amend went to the civil right* bill • Indeed the Fsecutlve Com mtttee proposed that the whole nseetlon of contempt proceed ngs h« handled separator an.! only after careful study. Defenders of the trial-by-jury amendment, for the most part, were Senators representing southern states where anti-labor injunctions have been handed down by state courts for years without benefit of juries. The trial-by-jury amendment guarantees jury trials for crim Inal injunction contempt cases.. but not for civil contempt cases 1 It also guarantees Negroes the right to serve on Federal juries. Passage of the amendment, means that after federal prose cutors obtain injffnetions against rctual or threatened deprivation of the right to vote, persons re fusing to obey these writs could be fined or imprisoned for con ' tempt by the Judge—but only after a jury brings in a verdict of guilty. Criminal contempt is disting uished from civil contempt by determining whether a court order was wilfully obstructed. t When i Judge determines that an individual should be punish rd for wilfull obstruction. In stead of being told to comply with the court order, the In junction involve* criminal con tempt The following is material quoted from a pamphlet received at the Omaha Guide office, published by Georgia Commission on Education, 717 One Peachtree Building. On the pamphlet there i# an emblem seemingly more fitting for the Russian flag than the A merican flag Under the emblem is written “A Resolution request ing impeachment of six members of the United States Supreme Court, adopted by the General Assembly of Georgia. February 22 1957.’’ A Resolution WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Georgia is deter mined to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State, against every attempt, whether foreign or domestic, to undermine and destroy the fundamental principles embodied in our basic law by which the liberty of the people and the sovereignty of the States in their proper spheres have been protected and assured; and WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Georgia proceeds upon the fundamental fact that the Constitution of the United States expressly provides for three main Branches of Government: the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive, and that said Branches of Government shall be and remain separate and distinct and that the powers and duties granted by the States to the respec tive Branches of Government, under the Constitution, shall be exer cised exclusively by them, respectively, and WHEREAS, the chief enemy of the United States is Godless communism, or the Communist International, which caused more than 150,000 casualties among our American soldiers in the recent Korean War,—only suspended by Armistice, without any Treaty of Peace having been executed to end said war—, and the Com munist Party, Pro-Communist and Subversive Organizations, and their members, all dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Government and the Constitution by force or unlawful means, are all allied with and form part of said enemy forces of the Commun ist International and are the established enemies of the United States; and WHEREAS, the Constitution of the United States guarantee# ‘to every state in this union a republican form of government,’ and necessarily implies that the union itself shall forever remain re publican in form and substance; and WHEREAS, prior to the adoption of the 17th Amendment in 1913 the Senate of the United States was a hall of republican states whose members were selected by state legislatures, and in conse quence their states, and this furnished a certain guarantee that the union itself should forever remain a free republican government.. Legislation on Civil Rights jjfjuti if*1*"" Pushed by Eighteen Southerners POSSIBLE CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION EXPECTED The 18 Southern Senators seemingly have taken control of the Senate as to the pending Civil Rights legislation. The 72 members of the Senate voting against the Crippled Bill have not yet won out, for it looks like the tail is waggin’ the head. In quoting Mr. Alec Dryer, “The trouble with our country today is that we have too many republican Senators, too many democratic Senators and not enough U. S. Senators. trials therein. It is the one prime power whereby courts are able to hold an effective posi tion of respect, dignity and in tegrity. It is principally by rea son ol that power that law en forcement in this country has enjoyed the high and useful place in our social and political system. To impair or weaken this power is tampering with much too important a segment of our governmental system to take lightly, or to venture upon without proper safeguards. It has been my feeling right along, Mr. President, that the _____________ _i approval of such jury-trial a mendment as originally propos ed would not only be undesir able in itself, but would also furnish precedent for extension into other fields than right to vote cases, to the much greater damage of the governmental sys tem.

Commercial airlines ex pect to be flying jet planes in and out of Omaha Municipal Airport by 1960, and Offutt Air Force Base is scheduled to receive a squad ron of heavy jet refueling planes in a year or so. Thus I am happy to see the CAA report that jet planes equipped with noise suppresses will not cause any more noise than airlines flying today. And the CAA reports that the aircraft industry is working hard on the problem and hopes to decrease the noise fur ther. The CAA sport also points out that jet airplanes will fly fast er, climb at a steeper rate and climb to higher altitudes than present day planes. Thus noise from these new planes will not be heard by people in their homes for as long as present airplanes are heard as they fly overhead. The report also says that the unusual whining noise made by jets is not damaging to human ears or bodies, unless persons are working close to the engines for long periods. • • * • Surplus federal property is constantly being made available to states for educational, public health and civil defense use.
