For Jury Trial in Civil Rights Bill
Weakens Nation’s Judicial System
J
WASHINGTON, UP>—President
Eisenhower said today the jury
trial provision added to the civil
rights bill by the Senate yester
day threatens to weaken the na
tion’s judicial system. And he said
it will make the bill “largely in
effective” in protecting the rights
of all Americans to vote.
Eisenhower, previously pictured
by Sen. Potter (R-Mich) as “damn
unhappy” over the Senate action,
gave his views in a statement
marked by sharp language.
He said the 51-42 vote guaran
teeing jury trials in criminal con
tempt cases would be “bitterly
disappointing” to many millions
of Americans in that it would
have the effect of leaving great
numbers of qualified voters dis
enfranchised.
“Rarely in our entire legisla
tive history have so many extra
neous issues been introduced into
the debate in order to confuse
both the legislators and the pub
lic,” Eisenhower said.
A possibility that the bill may
not be passed by Congress in the
form of the Senate measure was
foreseen by Sen. Knowland of
California, GOP leader.
Knowland said he thinks the
bill may become stymied in con
ference with the House, which
passed the bill much more closely
tailored to the Administration’s
draft.
Knowland’s view was not shared
by some other backers of the bill.
Sen. Russell <D-Ga) held out a
possibility that some southern op
ponents may even vote for the
bill if a few more changes are
made.
On the dramatic roll call vote,
witnessed by spectators who
crammed the Senate gallery, the
party line-up was 39 Democrats
and 12 Republicans for the
amendment and 9 Democrats and
33 Republicans against it.
The amendment would provide
for jury trials in criminal con
tempt cases arising from injunc
tions the attorney general would
be empowered to obtain to en
force voting rights. It also would
apply in labor cases.
Said Vice President Nixon to
newsmen: “This was one of the
saddest days in the history of the
Senate because this was a vote
against the right to vote.”

Go Aground Here
Early This A.M.
Early this morning, about 2
a.m., the Columbia River tug Nez
Perce with a barge in tow went
on the beach back of the North
ern Commercial Co. store.
Lomen Commercial Co. was
alerted and immediately dis
patched their tugs Margo and
Bozo captained by veteran skip
pers John Fagerstrom and Teddy
Reed.
The Margo was able to pass a
line to the helpless tug which
was in the breakers by this time.
The line was then secured to the
more powerful Bozo which pulled
the Columbia River boat off the
bar. The tugs were unable to
pull the steel barge off the beach
as it is heavily loaded with con
tractor equipment including such
items as heavy reels of cable, a
truck and a considerable tonnage
of cement. The Bozo broke the
cable which they passed to the
barge and it is now secured
with a line to the seawall right
behind the N.C. store.
The tug Nez Perce and the
barge belong to the Upper Col
umbia Tug and Barge Co., and
were under lease to Alaska Barge
and Transfer Co., Inc., stated at
torney Fred Crane today. The
captain of the tug was Frank
Wilem.

of his sentence for a vicious at
tack on a man.

wolf, gave up a fight to stay
death for the 3-year-old dog.

'> LONDON UP—John Foster Dul
les proposed today that all of the
United States, all of the Soviet
Union and most of Europe be ex
posed to aerial and ground in
spection as a safeguard against
sneak nuclear attacks.
Here is his proposal:
Alaska and Aleutians
SECTION ONE—

continental United States, all of
Alaska, including the Aleutians,
all the territory of Canada, and
all the territory of the U.S.S.R.
will be open to inspection.
"B. If the government of the
Soviet Union rejects this broad
proposal, to which is related the
proposal for inspection of Europe
referred to below, the four pow
ers with the consent of the gov
ernments of Denmark and Nor
way proposed that that:
North of Arctic Circle
“All the territory north of the
Arctic Circld of the Soviet Union,
Canada, the United States (Alas
ka), Denmark (Greenland) and
Norway: all the territory of Can
ada, the United States and the
Soviet Union west of 140° W.
Long., east of 160° Long, and
north of 50° N. Lat.: all the re
mainder of Alaska, all the re
mainder of the Kamchatka Pen
insula: and all of the Aleutian
and Kurile Islands, will be open
to inspection.
Inspection In Europe
“SECTION TWO.
“With regard to inspection in
Europe, provided there is com
mitment on the part of the Soviet
Union to one of the two foregoing
proposals, the governments of
Canada, France, the United King
dom and the United States, with
the concurrence in principle of
their European allies and in con
tinuing consultation with them,
subject to the indispensable con- *
sent of the countries concerned
and to any mutually agreed ex
ceptions, propose that an area in
cluding all of Europe bounded in
the south by Lat. 40° N. and in
the west by 10° W. Long, and in
the east by 60° E. Long, will be
open to inspection.”
Soviet Inspection In UJ3.
Speaking on behalf of the West,
Dulles broadened the West’s
“open skies” proposal in a dram
atic' bid to break an East-West
deadlock in the U.N. subcommit
tee on disarmament.
Under the new Western plan,
Soviet planes would be allowed to
fly over U.S. and Western terri
tory and Soviet ground inspectors
could check seaports, rail junc
tions, main highways and airfields
to expose any warlike nuclear
moves. Western powers would
have similar rights thruout the
Soviet Union.
Dulles had worked four days
to get agreement on the plan
among the Western members of
the subcommitee—the U.S., Can
ada, Britain, France.
