Rich ards speak to the sesquicentennial celebration of the Clariosophic and Euphradian Literary Societies here Tuesday night in the Russell House (lining hall. Congressman Richards, speaking on the doctrine of interposition, said, "The interposition resolution proposed by the governor is an as sertion, a protest, and a declara tion of opinion of illegality. It gives formality to the views of our states as to the Supreme Court de cision. In my opinion, that is as far as the interposition line of ac tion should go. Interposition, yes; nullification backed by force or threat of force, never." Congressman Richards com mended the General Assembly, the Gressette Committee and Governor Timmerman for their stand in op posing the Supreme Court decision on segregation. He said that the Gressette Committee and General Assembly "are following the proper course. They are moving slowly, advisedly, and collectively." "They have interposed a protest to the Congress of the United States, to the several states, and to the people of the country. Inter position to my mind does not neces sarily mean nullification," Con gressman Richards said. In the face of tremendous op position throughout the nation, Congressman Richards said that "if we are to secure relief it will be through fighting this thing in our state, step by step, taking ad vantage of every legal opportunity and every legal loophole to bring our just cause before every avail able court and the bar of public opinion."
