This tendency is well illustrated in one of the Administration’s pack age bills, S. 955. This bill would amend the present obstruction of justice statute to include specifi cally the obstruction of court or ders in school desegregation cas es. It would make a federal crime of wilfully using force or threats of force to obstruct such Court orders and would subject an offender to 'a SIO,OOO fine, two years in jail, or both.

Os course no one can excuke mob violence. I have always maintained that anybody who is party to any court proceeding ought to obey that court proceed ing however foolish it may seem to be. Even aside from the fed eral question, the bill is open to three objections. One is that per- County Entries Win In District Contest Continued from Page 1.

I now have three rooms, and I will have five rooms in the new building. There are many reasons I am glad to be moving to the new building. Not only will we have 1 more actual office space, but we will be nearer to committee rooms and other offices and fa cilities that are used daily.
