Most Supreme Court decisions
in recent years have buoyed Neg¬

Now, ironically, a High Court
decision may unseat the only two

Sen. LeRoy R. Johnson and

year from Fulton County — At¬

A 1962 Georgia Senate reappor¬

as Fulton must run county-wide.
But a local federal court later
ruled the elections be broken

senators then won running in

Locol Authorities
Can Act Against
Sit-Ins, U. S. Says
, By Louis Cassels
WASHINGTON, (UPI) — Jus¬
tice Department officials say that
local authorities have the right
to take appropriate police action
to deal with civil rights demon¬
strations which pose a genuine
threat to the peace and security
of a community.
But they said court rulings have
made clear that this police pow¬
er must be exercised with restraint
and with proper regard for the
freedoms of speech, petition and
assembly which are guaranteed
by the First Amendment to the
Constitution.
“Local and state authorities have
a duty to protect these freedoms,”
an attorney in the Civil Rights
- Division said. “That means they
must not interfere with peaceful
demonstrations in which citizens
exercise the rights guaranteed by
the First Amendment.
“The courts have held that
there are bounds beyond which
protest demonstrations may not
go. For example, freedom of assem¬
bly does not mean that police
must allow a meeting to be held
in the middle of a city’s busiest
street intersection at rush hour.
But everything depends on the
actual facts in each particular
case. It is not possible to draw
a precise line on the basis of
abstract or hypothetical circum¬
stances. »»
The Statements were made in
response to questions about im¬
pact of !the recent U. S. Supreme
Court decision upholding the pub¬
lic accommodations section of the
Civil Rights Act, and requiring
dismissal of sit-in convictions based
on demonstrations before the law
took effect last July.
Justice Department officials
also said in reply to questions
that:
—The recent court decision
applies only to sit-in cases in¬
volving the kind of establishments
which are covered under the pub¬
lic accommodations section of the
Civil Rights Adt.
—It is not the role of the Jus¬
tice Department to offer specific
advice to local authorities on what
can and cannot be done in dealing
with particular demonstrations.
Federal attorneys can only discuss
the broad principles of law that
have been laid down by court
rulings.
‘^Courts have consistently
recognized that the rights of pro¬
test guaranteed by the First
Amendment are not absolute, but
are limited by the necessity of
maintaining public order, »» a
spokesman said.
"But they have tended to set
very broad limits to the right
of peaceful demonstration. And
they have held emphatically that
a remote or presumed or theoreti¬
cal threat to public peace and
security is not a sufficient excuse
for local authorities to fail in their
duty to protect the rights of free
speech, assembly and petition.”

Cowardly Nation,
Nation of Cowards
The Editors: Once again we
see our so-called leaders in Wash¬
ington displaying the stuff they
are made of by apparently fail¬
ing over each other in an effort to
legislate the desires of the mobs
in the streets, to get them dis¬
persed temporarily.
This is altogether fitting. We
have long since become the most
cowardly nation in the world, and
now we are fast becoming a na¬
tion of cowards.
Overseas we tremble before
every petty dictator; we are
laughed at and spat upon; we
chicken out on our promises to
people fighting for freedom; we
are afraid to protect our citizens,
and even military men, overseas.
Here at home we are afraid to
go to the rescue of people being
raped, killed, robbed and assaul¬
ted. We are afraid to tell the mobs
to get out of the streets (unless
it happens to be up North), and
now we are afraid to enforce a
federal court order unless it is
against the whites. We have the
sorry spectacle of one man plac¬
ing himself above law and order,
above the courts, above the gover¬
nors, and even above the president.
It’s a sad day for democracy
when a group has to create civil
disobedience to get What they
need, and it is a sadder day yet
when a group can get what they
want by civil disturbances.
Already our streets are not safe
for pedestrian traffic. And now
»e are bringing forth a whole
generation teaching them that
they may break any laws they per¬
sonally do not like, that law and
order are simply for those who
have the character and conscience
to obey. And then we have the
temerity to turn around and “de¬
plore” our present state of law¬
lessness. You haven't seen any¬
thing yet!
We as a nation and as a people
are in the throes of a moral de¬
cay that will make ancient Greece
under Pericles and Clean a piker
By comparison.
