Southerners Set
For Filibuster
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON. UP—Sen. Rus
sell <D-Ga> said today southern
senators will use “every weapon
in our arsenal” to defeat the civil
rights bill unless a jury trial
amendment is adopted.
His unmistakable notice of a
■filibuster—altho he didn’t use the
word—was sounded after Presi
dent Eisenhower sent word to Re
publican senators he opposes this
or any other major change in the
bill’s section on voting rights.
The Administration measure al
ready has been stripped by a 52
38 Senate vote of a section to em
power the attorney general to
seek federal court injunctions to
enforce civil rights other than
voting privileges.
The big issue now, as the Sen
ate nears the end of a third week
of debate on the House-passed
bill, is whether to require jury
trials in some contempt of court
cases arising from the enforce
ment of voting rights under an
other section of the legislation.
Russell, leader of the Dixie
forces fighting the bill, said after
a conference in his office that the
southerners would support a jury
trial amendment more limited in
scope than thev would like.
He said the southerners believe
. jury trials should be provided in
all contempt cases arising under
the legislation. But he added that,
as “practical men,” they realize
that an amendment limiting jury
trials to cases involving criminal
penalties has “wider support.”

Airline Passenger Disappears as
i
| Myterious Explosion Blasts Huge
! Hole in Plane at 10,000 Feet
LOS ANGELES, OP*—A myster
ious explosion near the washroom
of an airliner where a passenger
had lingered unusually long yes
terday blew the passenger to his
death 10,000 feet over California’s
Mojave Desert.
The plane, a gaping hole in its
side, landed safely. Its 12 other
passengers and crew of three
were unhurt.
The missing passenger, a San
Fernando Valley jeweler who
sold out recently, boarded the
Los Angeles bound, twin-engine
Convair 240 at Las Vegas, where
he had flown Wednesday night.
Western Airlines, which oper
ated the craft, said the man took
out a $125,000 round trip insur
ance policy before leaving for
Las Vegas.
Not long after the craft was
airborne, he went to the wash
room at the rear of the plane. He
lingered so long that one passen
ger was on the verge of calling
the stewardess when the ship was
shaken by a blast that tore a 4x7
foot hole in its right side opposite
the washroom.
The passenger was S. F. Bin
stock, 62, of North Hollywood,
Calif. No trace of him has been
found.
I The plane made a safe emer
1 gencv landing at George AFB
near Victorville in the Mojave
Desert 60 miles east of Los An
geles.
Western Airlines officials ex
i pressed bafflement at the blast.
Altho they are operating on the
theory that the blast was caused
by some explosive, they said there
were no fuel lines or tanks or ex
plosives of any kind near the
washroom.
The FBI was called into the
j case at once and questioned pas
j sengers and crew at the airbase.
The passenger were brought by
but to Los Angeles.
Western said Binstock was one
of a group of five who went on a
package-deal “evening in Las Ve
gas” flight Wednesday night.
It was not established whether
Binstock knew the other four. He
and the others had ticket books
with coupons for dinner, cham
pagne, and so forth.
Western said that at midnight
Binstock appeared at the Las Ve
gas Airport and tossed his coupon
book, unused, at -a ticket agent,
saying:
“Here, maybe you can use
these.”

CRIME DID NOT PAY
SANTA FE, W)—Crime doesn’t
pay—at least not very well—for
the burglar who ransacked a sub
urban cafe.
Elwood Edward Lairson, who
was charged with the crime, faces
a one- to three-year prison sen
tence if convicted.
The cafe owner said the haul
was just 25 pennies.
How William Sidney Porter
happened to choose O. Henry as
a pseudonym is a mystery but it
may derive from Orrin Henry,
who was a guard at the Ohio
State Penitentiary, while the
author was incarcerated there.
