HOUSE DEBATES SO-
CALLED CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
Debate in the House of Repre
sentatives has again focused at
tention on so-called civil rights
bill. I opposed this bill before
the House Committee and before
the Senate Committee which held
hearings on the proposals.
At this point, we cannot deter
mine just what the outcome will
be of efforts to have the bill ap
proved in the House. However,
I am glad that the Senate Judic
iary Committee, which has not re
ported the bill out, has approved
an amendment to guarantee trial
by jury in the bill.
This was done by a vote of T
to 3. In so doing the Committee
recognized the need for legisla
tion to assure citizens of the right
to trial by jury. Even some of
the backers of the so-called civil
rights bill voted for the trial by
jury amendment in the Senate
Committee.
BILL REMAINS
ABSOLUTELY OBNOXIOUS
However, I want to make one
point entirely clear. This amend
ment to the so-called civil rights
bill still does not make the bill
acceptable to me. The other pro
visions of the bill which would
give the Federal Government
greater authority to meddle in
elections and to secure so-called
“preventive injunctions’’ make
the bill absolutely obnoxious.
The important thing about the
vote in the Senate Committee is
that it gives me hope for approval
of a bill I introduced with Sena
tors Byrd and Eastland. My bill
would guarantee the right of trial
by jury, in contempt cases for all
citizens, just as persons involved
in labor disputes now have trial
by jury, if they so desire.
HOPE RAISED FOR
JURY TRIAL GUARANTEE
Since the Committee has rec
ognized the principle of trial by

jury in amending the civil rights
bills, I hope the Committee will
approve my bill which is com
pletely separate from an inde
pendent of the civil rights propos
als. Additional protection should
be given to the right of trial by
jury regardless of the so-called
civil rights bills.
Now let me talk with you about
the question that has arisen since
Great Britain, recognized Red
China for trade purposes .
WOULD VIOLATE PRINCIPLES
TO TRADE WITH RED CHINA
I regret that England took this
step without coordination with
the United States., It is another
action comparable to- that taken
by England and France in 4ttack-
Egypt at the Suez Canal.
The United States should not
enter into trade with communist
China, even though Britain has
approved such action. Approval
of trading with the Reds of China
is to me the placing of economic
considerations above moral prin
ciple.
This country should continue
to prohibit trading with Red
China until the communists of
that country release every pris
oner of the United Nations, and
until a peace treaty is secured in
Korea. Our represnetative in Ge
neva has met with China com
munist representative almost 70
times in the past two years, try
ing to reach a settlement for
peace in Korea.
MANY PRISONERS
STILL UNREPORTED
I have checked with the State
and Defense Departments as to
how many American prisoners
are still being held by the com
munists in China. There are eight
civilians. Also, 450 members of
the armed forces are still unac
counted for after being reported
prisoners during the Korean war.
The civilians — including four
Catholic missionaries, two busi
nessmen, and two employees of
the Army—have been in jails for
as long as four years. The Reds
have consistently avoided an
swering our State Department as
to whether the 450 members of
armed-forces are still alive
June 18 is S. 5, which would re
quire the Federal Government to
let contracts to the layvest bidder
instead of channeling contracts to
so-called depressed areas. The
lowest bidder should receive the
contract regardless of where he is
located if he can fully comply
with the specifications of the con
tract.
County Records
of
and being held as prisoners
war.
Under such circumstances, I do
not see how we can agree to con
sider trading with Red China
until a full accounting is given by
the communists and until all
United Nations prisoners are re
leased.
DECISION COULD BE
MADE LATER ON TRADE
After that a peace treaty should
be arrived at quickly. Then a de
cision could be made as to wheth
er the United States should trade
with China in goods which could
not be converted to military uses
against us. Until these things take
place, we should stand firm.
HEARINGS SCHEDULED
ON TWO BILLS
As chairman of a special sub
committee, I have scheduled
hearings on two bills whi^h I
have mentioned previously. The
first hearing will be June 11 and
12 on S. 6, a bill to help the states
collect taxes now being lost as a
result of contractors who work
for the Federal Government be
ing excepted from such levies as
the sales tax in South Carolina
