We also commend the freshmen and sophomores for their attend ance records. Sen. Erwin Says: WASHINGTON—The Douglas Civil Rights bill was introduced in the Senate last week. Harsh Legislation If the Douglas Bill should be enacted into law, it would destroy the system of government which has prevailed in the United States since the adoption of our Consti tution. It proposes to place all state governments, all municipal govern ments and all county governments in the United States under the supervision of the Attorney Gen eral of the United States, who is to be given authority superior to that of duly elected state and local offic ials in all areas which can possibly be construed bv usurpation or otherwise to fall within the domain covered by the 14th Amendment. Misinterpretation To this end, it proposes to enact into law the so-called Part III of the Civil Rights bill of li)57 which happily for America was rejected by the Congress at that time. But it goes far beyond that proposal in that it makes provisions to rob the people of the states of ultimate control over their own schools and bestows this power upon the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare. It goes far beyond the provisions of the 14th Amendment and far beyond the so-called de segregation decision itself. Indeed, it is based upon a complete mis interpretation of such decision. The interest of the nation would be well served at this hour if those who attempt to legislate in this field would recognize the true scope of that decision. As that great jurist, the late Judge John J. Park er, declared in the case of Briggs versus Elliott, the Clarendon Coun ty, South Carolina case, the “Su preme Court—has not decided that the Federal Courts are to take over or regulate the public schools of tho states. It has not decided that the states must mix persons of different races in the schools or must require them to attend schools or must deprive them of the right of choosing the schools they attend. What it has decided, and all that it has decided, is that a state may not deny to any person on account of race the right to attend any school that it maintains. This, under the decision of the Supreme Court, the state may not do direct ly or indirectly; but if the schools which it maintains are open to children of all races, no violation of the Constitution is involved even though the children of different P™..

Nothing in the Consti tution of in the decision of the Supreme Court takes away from the people freedom to choose the schools they attend. The Consti tution, in other words, does not forbid discrimination. It doeh not forbid such segregation as occurs as the result of voluntary action. It merely forbids the use of govern mental power to enforce segrega tion. The Fourteenth Amendment is a limitation upon the exercise of power by the state or state agen cies, not a limitation upon the freedom of individuals." Position Ignored Those who support the Douglas Bill ignore the position which they took in 1957 when they advocated the establishment of a Civil Rights commission. At that time, they urged that such a Commission be established so that it could make an investigation of the so-called civil rights field and report recom mendations as to what should be done in this field. The sponsors of the Douglas Bill propose to take immediate action covering the en tire area of so-called civil rights without waiting for the Commis sion on Civil Rights to complete its work and make recommendations. I am sometimes tempted to envy those members of Congress who agcept as their legislative mission the reconstruction of supposed sin ners living in distant areas of the country. This is so because their concern for the supposed sins of persons living in distant areas acts as a kind of opiate and blinds them to serious problems lying upon their own doorsteps. It is a much pleasanter, and undoubtedly a more profitable, political pastime to de vote one’s efforts to reforming other legislators’ constituents than attempting to reform one’s own. Unity Needed America today faces a perilous world. It needs unity at home as it has never needed it before. The Douglas bill is calculated to seri ously impair this unity because it will stir up turmoil and strife in many areas of the nation where the men who really know the problems of such areas are striving to solve such problems in a practical and reasonable way. POSTMASTER KERLEE WARNS OF 4 SCHEMES TO FLEECE PUBLIC Postmaster H. A. Kerlee an nounced today he has been ad vised that all U. S. attorneys have been alerted to a growing number of schemes victimizing the public, and have been instructed to press prosecutive action whenever viola tions of federal criminal statutes have been disclosed. Mr. Kerlee said that U. S. at torneys and postal inspectors will coordinte their efforts, under the guidance of the Criminal division of the Department of Justice. Among the schemes that may be of special interest to members of this community, as outlined by the head of the Criminal division in the letter, are these: Offers to act as agents, with fraud ulent obtaining of advance fees; vending machines, with the pros pect of obtaining large profits in x-etum for a relatively minor in vestment and "no physical labor”; work at home schemes, creating the belief that there is a ready and substantial market for certain goods which can be produced at home. The swindler, of course, sells the machine and produces these goods; easy-to-win contests, the general format of these con tests usually consisting of an open invitation to the public to win a “prize” by the performance of a relatively simple task.
