“Then how do you expect to stay in

ad salesman can remind him that the
same qualities would make just as

Georgia Congressman Helping
'Correct’ Supreme CourtActions
By HAROLD DAVIS
Washington.
THE HOUSE of Representatives, as¬
sisted by the Georgia delegation
here, is slowly “correcting” some of
the liberal decisions of the Supreme
Court which have troubled conserva¬
tives in recent years.
There is no chance whatever that
Congress will undo the 1954 school
ruling; nevertheless, the anti-court
work goes on.
Last week, the ten Georgia repre¬
sentatives here voted for the simplest
and broadest anti-court measure to
date. By a tally of 241 to 155, the
House sent to the Senate a hill by
Rep. Howard W. Smith of Virginia,
one of the conservative leaders, which
is a pure states rights proposal.
It says when there are state and
federal laws on the same subject,
state laws take precedence unless the
federal act specifically provides is to the
contrary, or unless there a direct
conflict which cannot be resolved.
Rep. William E. Colmer of Mis¬
sissippi called it a “stop, look and
listen sign to the courts.”
This so-called Smith Act was con¬
troversial in the House of Representa¬
tives and the Georgians who backed
it there are surprised it passed by
such a majority. But now it is given
a good chance of passage in the
Senate.
In three other areas, the House
has also attacked recent court decis¬
ions.
The chamber last month passed and
sent to the Senate a bill to “correct”
the Mallory decision.
Mallory, a Washington Negro, was
arrested at 2:30 one afternoon on
suspecion of rape; he confessed the
crime, but was not carried before a
magistrate for arraignment until 10
o’clock the next morning.
The Supreme Court turned the con¬
fessed rapist free because of the delay
between arrest and arraignment. As
a result, in the District of Columbia,
federal judges started turning
suspects free left and right because
their arraignment did not follow hard
upon arrest.
Police say they are helpless before
the decision. Courts can conceivably
be asked to free suspects if police
ask any questions at all between ar¬
resting a suspect and carrying him
before a megistrate — even such a
simple question as “what is your
name?”
Congressman E. L. Forrester Judiciary of
Leesburg, a member of the bill,
committee which reported the
says under the Mallory decision, the
United States could not have held
the German saboteurs who wei;e
landed by submarines in this country
during Eight World War II.
of the Germans were ar¬
rested: six were subsequently exe¬
cuted as spies.
Two anti-court measures have
cleared all obstacles and become law
—legislation “correcting” the deci¬
sions of the Jenks case and in the
case of Cole vs. Young.
In the Jencks ruling, the Supreme
Court took a swipe at the FBI. The
court said the Federal Bureau of
Investigation had to open its files
to defendants in certain court cases,
The FBI would thus make public its
secret sources of information. No
more. The correcting law is on the
books.
In the bill “correcting” the Cole
vs. ruled Young decision, the Congress over¬
a court dictum saying that a
government employe cannot be dis¬
charged from his position on security
grounds unless he works in a “sensi¬
tive” position.
The burden of the work on the
measures was done by congressmen
who think the Supreme Court has
become like a train which has jumped
the track.
It is a small miracle that anything
at all passed Congress in the face
of pressure from groups which en¬
dorse everything the courts have done
in recent times.—Atlanta Journal

Wash Your Car, Mister?
PETTICOAT IS HER OWN
_
BUSINESS, BUT KNEES ARE
ANOTHER MATTER
We gave our dimunitive assistant,
Mr. Putter, what we thought would be
an interesting assignment the other
day. We sent him out to ascertain the
colors and types of petticoats and
slips worn by salesgirls during and the
working day at department has stores
specialty shops. He just come
back with nothing. He says he can’t
firiB out. He says salesgirls won’t tell
him; they consider it none of his busi¬
ness.
He reports that he went very po¬
litely to dozens of them and said, “I
beg your pardon, miss, but I wonder
if you would tell me what color petti¬
coat or slip you are wearing today?”
Some of the responses he got, he
says, were downright hostile; and all
were unco-operative. predicated
The investigation received was
upon a letter we from a
Seattle, Wash., woman who identified
herself as a sales person, “Miss who signed and
herself merely as Doe”
who concluded with tthe words, “have
fun.” She wrote in part:
“Would sugges that the best place
to get information on salesgirls is on
the bus during the morning and eve¬
ning peaks. You can tell them by
looking at their shoes. Nine times out
of 10 they are wearing medium heels
and sensible lasts.
“Another thing, if you could get a.
peep at her petticoat (slip, that is),
chances are you would find it red or
bright yellow or some other very gay
color.
“You see, we have to wear dark
gray, dark brown, navy blue or black
dresses on the floor. So, after a few
years, we generally go frivolous on
our undeiwear . .
We worked three buses crowded
with salesgirls, but hoping to glimpse a
petticoat, there was none in evi¬
dence. We came reluctantly to the
conclusion that the women on these
buses were either not wearing petti¬
coats and slips under their dresses,
and shame on them, or that they were
sitting down awful doggone careful.
We did find many salesgirls wear¬
ing high spiked heels and very fash¬
ionable, foolish lasts, and we guess
they slip into the medium heels and
the sensible lasts when they arrive at
the store.
The salesgirl who wears a flamboy¬
ant petticoat but won’t talk about it
leads us inexorably into a discussion
of modesty — modesty and what
strange Modesty people women are.
is a variable thing, It
changes sider, with place and time. Con¬
blooded for instance. Miss Murch, a red
all-American girl. Look at
her, footing it like a pixie, romping
all day long on a public beach in less
than a handful of fabric.
When you see Miss Murch at the
beach, you couldn’t know more about
her even if you had a full set of her
X-rays. But look at this same Miss
Murch in the evening, seated der
murely on a sofa, wearing high heels,
nylon hosiery, a bouffant skirt and a
ruffled petticoat.
She was all knees, at the beach,
mind you, but now it is not proper for
her to show her knees or for you to
glance 'M them, and she is continually
trying to pull her dress over them. Not
to do so would be immodest.
j But these are the same knees, aren’t
| they ? Does a little old nylon stocking
j make the difference? No. Different
! time, different place, another concept
| of modesty.
i Some psychologists say that Miss
Murch actually is not being modest
when she tugs her dress over her
knees. She is, in fact, thev say, call¬
ing attention to them and is preoc¬
cupied with the attraction they may
have for others. Ah, ha! Let’s go over
and talk to Miss Murch.—Douglass
