THE,CHOWAN HERALD (Ehe public |3|pL rl i> DOUBLE-STANDARDBEAR ER —It was Chief Justice Earl Warren who raised the ques tion of whether Lee Harvey Oswald, slain red assassin of President Kennedy, could have had a fair trial had he lived to face the bar of justice. It was a good question then. It is a good question today. It should extend to the klan as well as the communists. After months of inquiry, the commission headed by the chief justice concluded that, due to the breadth and depth of the coverage by news media of the assassination story, Os wald could not have obtained a fair trial. Immediately following the report, a hue and cry went up across the country for placing such restrictions on free press and free speech as would guar antee a fair shake for even a communist such as Oswald. Law school deans concurred. Bar Associations acted. Other liberal and intellectual groups added their two cents worth. The right to a fair trial for all defendants, they said, is abso lute and should take prece dence over guarantees of free speech and free press. We never agreed with this view; but we could see the need for greater responsibility on the part of law enforce ment officers and public of ficials in disclosing pre-trial information and on the part of the press and broadcast media in publishing it. We mention these things by way of background. Now we want to question the role of “ the President of the .United States in that light. A white woman was slain last week down in Alabama while engaged in civil rights activi ties with the Negroes. For the purpose of this article, we shall not question the wisdom of her being where she was and doing what she was doing. That is another story. We want to discuss, in the light of the Warren commission report, what has happened on the oth er side of the picture. AlTnost 'before theirik' WhS" dry on the announcement of the slaying, four Birmingham white men, described as mem bers of the Ku Klux Klan, were arrested by the FBI and charged with violating the wo man’s rights, which was about the only federal charge under which they could be held. Bond for each , was set at Within minutes after the ar rest President Johnson went on the air in a nationwide tele vision broadcast to announce the apprehension of the four, described as members of “a hooded society of bigots”, and ' make a scathing attack on the klan. He ordered Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach to draft legislation—the modern solu tion for everything—bringing the klan “under effective con trol of law.” Then he declared open war Town Council Race Occurs In Edenton’s Fourth Ward The first race for a seat on Edenton’s Town Council develop ed this week in Fourth Ward. Single candidates have filed for two other council seats and a race is already assured for may or. An incumbent has also filed for the Board of Public Works. Fourth Ward Incumbent Coun cilman Luther C. Parks, 817 Ca barrus Street, announced that he will seek his sixth term on the triton, Chowan County, North Carolina 27932 Thursday, April 1, 1965. fare upon the klan. “We will not be intimidated by the terrorists of the Ku Klux Klan any more than by the terrorists of the Viet Cong,” he said. Now, the question naturally arises about the effect of the President’s remarks on the chances of those four Alabama men for a fair trial. Under our system—at least under the system which prevailed until so many new “rights” were discovered—they are presumed innocent until proved guilty in a court of law before a jury of their peers. It is apparent, we think, that , the President’s re marks Will make it difficult for these men to obtain a fair trial. You will also note that when the President was running through his mind for an anti thesis of the klan, he found it necessary to go all the way to Viet Nam for the Viet Cong. It is, we think, worth noting that he passed up the oppor tunity to mention the Black Muslims, who recently had a murder of two of their own, or the Black Nationalists, or CORE or SNICK or even na tive communists, And, •as for bringing the klan under effective control of law, we are for that, provided the'law applies equally to oth er similar organizations. For what it is worth, it should be recalled that Congress, in the day before we envisioned the Great Society, passed a law designed to bring the com munists under effective con trol. The first thing that hap pened was that the Supreme court knocked a hole in it big enough for the Russians to fire a space capsule through. But there is little doubt, in the context of current mass hysteria, that a law against the klan would be enforced with great selectivity and to the fullest. It has been apparent for some tjme that a double-standard of enforcement has developed. It is keyed to the colors. If the offender .»?. '‘’bite and southern, qua him in if it requires the ser vices of the United States army. If he is red or black, forget it. GOOD REASONS—A Cho wan County farmer wrote Judge Chester R. Morris re questing to be excused from jury duty this week in Su perior Court. He had a big farm and it needed his at tention. However, when he didn’t hear from the jurist he went to the courthouse Monday along with 49 others. Judge Morris took time to explain why he didn’t answer the letter. First, the judge said he did not get the letter in time for a reply to arrive in Chowan County prior to the opening session of court. Then, the prospective juror Continued on Page Three i 'town body.
