NEW YORK Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo

the Senate to provide for jury trials in criminal contempt
cases involving the right to vote:
With the adoption of the jury

Southerners Win Out
In Rights Fight
Southerners won out last week when they were suc
cessful in gathering enough “fringe’* support to tack on
the jury trial amendment to the Civil Rights Bill.
This takes out the “teeth” of the Rights Bill and for
all practical purposes it offers thousands of Negro citi
zc ns no more guarantee to be able to register and vote
than before'the much publicized Rights-fight. .
By a vote pf 51 to 42 the Sen
ate provided for jury trials in
criminal contempt cases arising
from injunctions the Attorney
General would be empowered to
obtain to enforce voting rights.
It also would apply in labor
eases and many others.
Senator Johnson (D.. Texas)
is said to be the strong force
behind the passing of the
amendment. His efforts were
directed to keep the Senate to
gether in what he considered
“moderate changes” in the bill.
Vic* President Richard Nix*
on uaid: "This was one of the
saddest days in the history of
the Senate because this was
a vole against tha right to
vote.” • • •
Southerners were beside
themselves with joy. They have
promised not to filibuster on the
remaining provisions of the bill.
Many critics blame President
Eisenhower in the defeat. They
claim that if he had spolren out
soon enough and exerted his in
fluence to secure the passing
of the rights bill which was
sponsored by him, that many
Senators, of both
parties would have voted with
the liberal group.
The bill lost by only nine
votes.
The Senate now will be able
to pass the ‘‘watered down” ver
sion of a once strong bill. It
Cora Brown
Denies Rumors
Attorney Cbra Brown denied
reports from Washington that
she was courting both the Demo
crats and the Republicans for a
political post.
The former state senator, who
jumped from the Democratic
camp to support President Eis
enhower last fall, said she has
only one post in mind and that
is non-political.
Miss Brown said:
"I have taken a civil service
examination as a referee in
the Wayne County Juvenile
Court.
“I used no political influence
and was content to take my
chances on the examination. I
understand I finished first
among the women competing
and that I am in line for the
vacancy.”

Judge Nathan J. Kaufman.

will then go back to the house
for approval.
Rule* Chairman Martin do- •
dared, "We are not going to
accept that bill; it's not a civil
rights bill; it's a joke.”
With the jury trial amend
ment in the bill, white southern
juries would decide the fate of
any Negro taking a case to court
when denied the right tu vote.
Backers of the bill say this is as
bad as not having a civil rights
bill at all. *
Law Upholds
Biased Home
state's civil
rights .law does not compel
privately operated pursing
homes to admit Negro patients,
according to Atty. General
Thomas M. Kavanagh.
This is true even if the home
is leased from a public agency.
Kavanagh said in an opinion
asked by Prosecutor Marion G.
Paul of Benzie County.
The case grew out the un
successful attempt of Benzie
County department of welfare
to place a Negro in Haven Hill,
a nursing home near Beulah.
The home is privately operat
ed by Mr. and Mrs. Paul F.
Rockwell, who leased it from
the county.
Kavanagh said:
“Nothing in this opinion sup
ports or should suggest that
public accommondations, in
cluding public infirmaries are
not governed by the provisions
of the Michigan civil rights law.”
