Washington lt was necessary,
tor me to spend all of the recent j
Congressional recess in Washing
ton in a concentrated legal re
view of the so-called civil rights
hill, S. 83. |
Strong Conviction
I have previously reported my
strong conviction that this bill |
should be rejected. The time of
Congress ought not be spent on
legislation which would rob the
people of their freedom.
Careful analysis of the bill
ktrengthens my conviction that
such rights of the people as jury
trials ought not suffer the ordeal
Os Congressional meddling in an
atmosphere charged with political
Considerations.
Right To Vote
I want my position to be crystal
Clear on this issue.
There is no defense of the de
hial of the right to vote to any
t|ualified citizen under the laws of
the states. Arbitrary denial of
this constitutional right is repug-

f nant to the dignity of the people.
With equal vigor 1 maintain that
the precious right of trial by jury
■ cannot be abridged or denied in
a democracy. To deny it is to
j make a mockery of great and good
I men who created this basic right
through centuries of dedicated ef
fort.
Swift Justice
Well-meaning individuals have
attempted to justify denial of jury
I trials by the provisions of the bill
! on the grounds that swift justice is
i necessary and that some juries
1 might not convict in this area of
! human grievance. This argument
jis not valid. No fundamental right
should be discarded as expedient.
Out of this sort of action dictator
ial legalisms arise with a venge
ance to restrict freedom.
Not MUd
I am unwilling to concede that
■ there is anything “mild” about S.
’ 83, because it undertakes to rob
■ j state and local officials and other
Americans involved in civil rights
cases of the basic constitutional
and legal safeguards established by
the founders of our government to
protect all Americans from govern
mental tyranny.
Headway
Congress is presently wrestling
with the bill. lam glad to report
to the people of North Carolina
that considerable headway has been
made to unwrap this package and
look at its provisions. Political
! writers and other observers of the
national scene have noted the legal
debate which has developed over
the bill. I am glad that the pub-,
lie delegate generally has been on
the level of legal reasoning rather
than on race or prejudice.
We can justify a defense of con
stitutional rights. In the rush to
hurriedly enact S. 83, the country
might well ponder the implieations
of the bill. The package undoubt
edly has cursory appeal to many
partisans and well-meaning peo
ple. Its contents are dangerous.
E. 83 ought to be rejected forth
with. 1

Weekly Devotional
Column
By JAMES MacKENZIE
Last week, considering the com-1
mandment “Thou shalt no{. stea;,”[
we listed a few of the ways in j
wjiich we steal from God. Let us.
continue this week by considering
the ways in which we steal from
others.
The simplest form of stealing is, 1
,of course, taking that which does
not belong s o us. AH of us recog
nize this is stealing, so it will not
be too necessary to comment or. it,
except to say that stealing is,
■ stealing, no matter how great or
j how small the theft may be. There
|is no such animal as the white
‘lie; neither is the white theft to be
found in any zoo. It is just as,
l wrong in the sight of God to steal
| a piece of candy as it is to rob a

We also steal from others when
we take advantage of their ignor- j
ance to defraud them. For exam- ,
1 pie, you know a person who pob
; sesses a valuable antique, but who
doesn’t realize its value, and yo>« ’
are able to buy it from him at a
ridiculously low price. That !.? (
stealing. Or, you sell a worn-out •
car that you have polished up to |
look better than it is, and neglect |
to tell the purchaser what is I
wrong with the car. That is |
stealing. There is more truth than j
doggerel in the little verse:
Little drops of water
Poured into the milk
Give the milkman’s daughter
1 Lovely gowns of silk.
[ Little grains of sugar'
Mingled with the sand
! Make the grocer’s profits
j swell to beat the band.
I We steal from others when we
borrow from them without intention j
i to repay, or postpone payment for
! a needlessly long time. In the lat
ter case the creditor is defrauded
by profit he may have made by
other investment of his property.
How many small merchants have
had to go out of business because i
' their “friends” have neglected or
postponed payment of their bills!
Careless injury of others’ prop-;
erty may also be classified as j
, stealing. Children who scribble in)
school books, or carve their initials
on school desks (Yes, I did it too)
or on trees are guilty of stealing.
When you bori'ow or rent an auto
mobile and drive it with less care
than you would your own you are
guilty of stealing.
The employee who loafs on the
job, accepting his wages but not
rendering sufficient work in re
turn is guilty of stealing. The
employer who takes advantage of
his position, and his employee’s de
pendence upon him, to force him to
work extra hours without adequate
compensation, or to work for low
wages, is guilty of stealing. Read
James 5:1-6 to see what God has
to say about such employers.
Cheating is also stealing. Not
only cheating on school examina
tions, but cheating on your income
tax return, or on your mate. Some
ministers buy items for themselves
in the name of the church and de
mand a ten-percent discount. That
is stealing, (continued next week)
