Three of every four American adults have not yet traveled by air, according to a recent survey by the University of Michigan. There were an estimated 510,000 ducks killed in Nebraska in 1956, and more than half of these were mallards. The other major species, in order taken, were blue-winged teal, green winged teal, and pintail. Williams, Johnson In Debate New Orleans, La.... Two con flicting views of the jury trial issue were brought into sharp fo cus by an exchange of letters be tween two Southerners, Aubrey W. Williams of Montgomery, Alabama, President of the Southern Confer ence Educational Fund, Inc.; and Senator Lyndon Johnson of Texas, Majority Leader of the Senate. The SCEF leader said that a civil rights law must “prove it self in actual local stuations. you can pass civil rights bills (with jury trial amendments) until you are blue in the face and you will not help Negroes in Montgomery, Alabama get the right to vote.” Senator Johnson on the other hand, said that he did not believe “the jury trial and the right to vote are incompatable... .1 cannot find it in my conscience to juggle with the concept of equity in or der to bypass one of the fundamen tal concepts of our liberties.” The two letters setting forth these opposing views follow. "Dear Aubrey: “We have been friends for many years. On the basis of that friend ship, I am presuming to tell you frankly that I believe you are working yourself into an unten able position. “It is a simple matter to take hard and fast postions on essential ly complicated questions. Certain ly, there will be many—on both sides of the issue—who will be tempted to do so for reasons not altogether unrelated to personal advantage. I do not believe you belong in that category. "There are honest and sincere men whose devotion to the ‘civil rights cause’ cannot be questioned, who are struggling to resolve the intricacies of the issue. They in clude men of the calibre of Sena tor Clark of Pennsylvania, Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Sena tor Kefauver of Tennessee. All of them have grave doubts as to the wisdom of abolishing trial by jury through the use of a legal subterfuge. “Aubrey, I tell you quite frank ly that I cannot find it in my con science to juggle with the concept of equity in order to bypass one of the fundamental concepts of our liberties. Futhermore, I cannot agree with you that we must do so in order to secure an effective quarantee of voting rights, I do not believe that the jury trial and ! the right to vote are incompatible, and, speaking again as a friend who wishes you well, I believe if you examine all of the facts care fully you will come to the same conclusion.” Sincerely, (S) LYNDON B. JOHNSON “Dear Lyndon: “.I have read carefully everything you wrote and I can see how you justify your position on basis that you will at least get j something, and I am not finding ' fault with you, however I just do not think you are thinking the thing through to the actual local situations where any civil rights law would have to prove itself. ‘ Let's take a given situation; suppose here in Montgomery a judge should order the registrars to stop their currently diliatory tactics and proceed to registar Ne groes with reasonable dispatch and a proper consideration for their covenience, as they now do in the case of any white person who ap plies. And suppose the judge finding at a later date that the registrars had not obeyed his order but were continuing their delaying and obstructing tactics and proceed to find them in contempt, now what I would like to ask is, would such registrars be able under your amendment to demand and be en titled to have a jury trial? If they would, then you can pass civil rights bills until you are blue in ! the face and you will not help Negroes in Montgomery, Alabama , get the right to vote. “Lyndon, my dear fellow, let’s don't kid ourselves, this ‘jury trial’ idea is sprung as a defeating move. No Southern State has ever had such, it is only now as our good friends from these deep South states see this thing coming down on them that they spring this. It was clever stratagem but it should be seen for what it is and disowned and fought for that rea son. “With warm personal regards,” Sincerely, (S) Aubrey W. Williams NEGRO DOCTOR TO SOUTHERN WHITES September EBONY reveals the story of a Negro doctor in New port, Tennessee, just fifty miles from Clinton (site of recent riots), whose clientele is predominately white. Still in line with the establish ed prejudices of the South, a local white painter said, "He’s the finest man in this county, even if he is black.” The secret of Doctor Branch's “Magnetism” is found in Septem ber EBONY under the title, "Ne gro Doctor to Southern Whites.” There are 53 million telephones in the United States. ; r See how these feature houses in the Omaha Home Builders Association u .. % ! /, i i present ELECTRIC LIVING at its finest! ». ___ 2406 So. 84th St. (Cedar Hills) 3 bedrooms,6 rooms, 1 k'/i baths.

Omaha Public Power pi strict Urge More Voting By Negroes By RICHARD L. STROUT Staff Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor Washingtor It is time more Negroes voted j in the South. That belief, in essence, tells the story of the present civil-rights j battle in the Senate. Complicating factors as to hov. this administration goal is to 1* 1 achieved have produced side is j sues, but the basic issue is and re 1 mains that at a time of global con j troversy over democracy the vot ' ing rights of millions of Negroes in the United States are seriously limited. The Senate has agreed to vote July 16, around suppertime, on Step One in the administratration civil-rights bill. This is a pre liminary motion to “take up" I (make the bill the pending bu3i ness of the Senate.) Approval of ; Step One is certain probably by a good margin. This in itself will oe a landmark in recent civil rights history. Then comes the real debate and chances of modifications, changes, and amendments. The big issue still goes back to the feeling, not i confined to the North, that the time has come to make some new advance in Negroes’ voting rights. The story of Negro voting in the South can be told statistically. Here are figures from the South ern Regional Council showing by states the estimated number of Negroes eligible to vote and these who actually do so. State Eligible Voters Alabama 516,000 53.000 Arkansas 233,000 68,000 Florida 367,000 149,000 Georgia 634,000 161,000 Louisiana 510,000 161,000 Mississippi 497.000 13,000 No. Carolina 550,000 102.000 So. Carolina 390,000 99,000 Tennessee 371,000 149,000 Texas 551,000 209,000 Virginia 423,000 85,030 There has been a marked in crease of Negroes’ voting rights in the past couple of generations. It is widely believed that this wil. continue whether the current measure is passed or not. The pressure of the present debate in Congress is apt to spur the pro gress. Most observers, northern and couthem, believe that forward movement of the franchise is in evitable. U. S. Rebuttal Dulled The question involves the rate of progress and as often happens in major social changes there is a tendency to accelerate as the trend Is established. At present only about 85,000 Negroes in Virginia vote out of about 423 - 000 eligible, and only 13,000 out of 497,000 in Mississippi. These are difficult figures with which to face Communist arguments in the cold war in Asia, Africa and around the world. A rise in Negro voting in south em states would have profound political consequences at home. If the factor of Negro votes be came something for politicians to consider in the South (as it al ready has in northern cities) the slowly improving social and eco nomic status of the race would be accelerated. Many sitting southern congr^r-s men who have fought civil rights for years would have trouble However sincere their motives, they also have a self-interest in the matter for the increase in the Negro franchise will almost certainly disturb the old, com fortable, one-party system that reelected them and gave them seniority in Congress which the hard-pressed n o r t hem Demo crats had to fight for. Compromise Hit Senator Patrick V. McXamar* (D; of Michigan counseled back ers of the civil-rights bill to stand firm against compromise pro pusals which he said are ain-.'-d "to gut this bill of any effective ness.” according to the Associat ed Press July 13. In a Senate speech. Senator McNamara said that no matter what changes were made ‘th*1 die-hard opponents of this leg illation will vote against it.” His own position, Senator Mc Namara said, is to “support” this proposed legislation, word by word and section by section " Argument* for and against the tn court orders under the pro injunctive procedure for enforc posed administration bill are the center of current rebate. Senator Paul H. Douglas (D; of Illinois, an adovate of civil rights, points out that the fedora, judges who would be called itjoiJ to enforce the provision in the South are themselvea almost 100 per cent southerners born an« reared tn the traditions of the area. (me of the leading jurists, fo example, la a brother of Senator Richard Russell (D) of Georgia the spokesman who has used thi most emotional language la draw ing a picture of "rule by the bay ooet” if judicial enforcement h provided. Over the weekend the civil rights debate proceeded by radio and television over the nation. Millions of listeners heard the ar guments from one end of the country to the other. Many of these arguments dealt with details of the administration program and not the heart of it —the simple question of voting rights of citizens. Few oppo nents cared to meet the issue on this point. In the long run, how ever, this is the basic matter in volved. GOP Move Waited On Rights Bill By William H. Stringer Chief, Washington News Bureau, The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON, Political maneu vering and few potent arguments on the merits still make the pro spects of Congress enacting the Senate-modified civil rights bill “touch and go” in this session. But experts believe that if House Republicans can make suf ficient political noise in "moder ately modifying” the measure, the House will agree to a slightly al tered measure. Then the nation will have its first full-dress civil rights measure since Reconstruc tion days. The House, which passed its own version in June, now is gingerly looking over the Senate verson, which contains a controversial a mendment that would guarantee jury trials in each and every gov ernmental case involving criminal contempt. This could insert jury trials in antitrust cases, cases in volving labor injunctions, and many actions before government regulatory agencies. Support Lining Up Representative Sam Rayburn of Texas, House Democratic general issimo, says he is in favor of the Senate product but is willing to see the jury trial provision limited so it would apply only to voting rights cases. But Mr. Rayburn says he will need help from the Republicans to get the measure, as modified! in the Senate, through the House. And Representative Joseph W. Martin, J., of Mass., the Republi can House chief, says he “cannot spare" any GOP support for a bill aontaining language opposed by the administration. This means, as of the moment, that he is insis ting on elimination, not mere mod ification, of the jury-trial pro vision. Nevertheless support is lining up, in Congress and out, for the proposition that a half-a-loaf bill is better than no bill. The reason Mr. Rayburn says he needs Republican support is that the Rules Committee, to which the Senate bill undoubtedly will be committed, naturally has its con tingent of southern Democrats.. They are aways to be found shrewdly positioned ir. vital com mittees. The Rules Committee is made up of eigot Democrats and four Re publicans. Normally is an instruc ment of the Speaker and if Mr. Rayburn said he wanted a Senate bill accepted, the committee would normally comply. Party Maneuvering But in the case of civil rights, the Speaker must count on two Democrats voting against the bill — one the committee chairman, Representative Howard W. Smith of Virginia, the other, Represent ative William M. Colmer of Mias. Neither, apparenty, can affprd to go on record as favoring a civil rights bill of any sort Defection of two Democratic votes would deadlock the commit tee Mr. Martin says, therefore, that he is confident the bill will go to a Senate-House conference and be modified. The Republi cans need, for the record, to be able to show that they compelled a modification of the Senate bill which considerably improved it Aware of the voting potential of Negroes in the northern big cities, the Republicans hope to persuade these valuable minority ballotera, | who could swing many a city and ! even statewide election, that the i GOP is by f.tr the more vigorous party in championing their rights. Suffrage for All Urged The proposal to send the bill to a Senate-House conference was urged by Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, who has fought strongly for a vigorous civil rights bill, by the Justice Department, and by Meade Alcorn, chairman of the Re publican National Committee. Mr Alcorn released a statement de | daring: "It is to be fervently hoped that , the House of Representatives will i insist upon s much stronger bill | that will provide—#t the least— genuine protection for the right of suffrage for all Americans " It is significant, however, that a Justice Department statement denouncing the Senate bill «e phasizad particularly the wide ranging impact of the Jury trial ! amendment—Its application far beyond the voting rights area This suggested that the Republicans might settle. In the end, merely 1 for a el imits?ton of the Jury trial clause an that it would apply only to voting cases. Meanwhile, the Democrats wh< favor the Senate version were ad vancing their own arguments, anc Congress witnessed the unusual spectacle of a southern senator Majority Leader Lyndon B. John son of Texas, actually arguing that the Senate bill is a good bill be cause it has teeth in it Senator Johnson released a memorandum which, in discussing whether the jury trial amendment j weakened the bill, declared: "When the purpose of the court is to enforce its order protecting the right to vote, it can imprison, it can fine, it can award compen satory civil damage, all without a jury trial... In election cases, where time for compliance may be short, the judge can require the posting of substantial bonds, which automatically become forfeited if the court order is violated."
