Hiller is the focal point of a shrewd Republican
political maneuver. He is a Roman Catholic. The Re-
publicans, realising that Catholics voted heavily for fel-
IW Catholic Kennedy, are seeking to offset the advant-
age Kennedy has by way of his religion.
go the Miller election is an Interesting one for sev
seal reasons. He pulls no punches, is aggressive and is a
Roman catholic. The questions which arise concerning
him are whether he will favor Richard Nixon or Nelson
Rockefeller, whether he can swing some of the Catholic
VOtf to the O.O.P. and whether, he will be able to bring
tho Republicans victory either in 1982’s congressional
elnetlons er in the 1964 presidential election.
ORIGIN OF JURIES
, Speaking before juries — the
of the party, told newsmen that if an election were heldj beginning of jury trials — goes
the nation would give President Kennedy a re- \ way bark to Greek colonies a-
bout 600 B.C.. in lawsuits over
lands seized by tyrants.
Soon afterwards Athens itself
took over such oratory, but
seems never to have worked out
rules of evidence or control of
the trial by a .judge.
Jurors often booed or cheer-
ed the parties, talked together,
and shouted at speakers. What
one man knew or thought he
knew about the case he told his
neighbor.
All evidence could go: Per-
sonal knowledge, hearsay, pre-
judice, and a juror’s opinion.
TTie Athenian juror had pow-
er: Each “dicast” (a juror cho-
sen by loti was both juryman
and judge.
Jurors sat in many courts:
the smallest had 201 dicasts, the
largest one such as tried Socra-
tes had 601. (The odd man broke
tie.) The jurors heard and de-
cided their cases out in public,
often amid swarms of citizens
and foreigners.
One day to each case: and the
accused — like Socrates - had
to prove his innocence.
Each juror earned one obol
a day — about three cents.
Each juror swore “I shall
vote according to the laws of
the Athenian people and the Co-
uncil of the Five Hundred; but
as to things about which there
are no laws. I shall judge as
best I can without favor or en-
mity. I shall judge as to things
at issue and shall listen fairly \
to both the accuser and the de- j
fendant. These things 1 swear
by Zeus, by Apollo, by Dem-
eter. May there he blessing on
me if I keep my oath: but if
no*, let there be ruin for me i
and my family.”
Today as yesterday our juries j
are under fire: Some say juries
waste lime, people won t serve j
jurors make stupid mistakes, j

Smnson To Latin America
* Adlai Stevenson is In Latin American counties for a
9® at winning over the reluctant Latins to the south.
Specially since our sponsorship of the recent Cuban
iBntkm, some Latins have been wondering whether the
Uhitad States is following the proper course in dealing
with its southerly neighbors.
These Is not much one can say about the Stevenson
trip before Its completion. Americans, of course, hope
Mr UJf. ambassador and two-time Democratic presi-
dential candidate, will be successful. And that about
MM tt up.
On the other hand, it seems significant that the
President asked the former nominee of the Democratic
Party to undertake the trip. It indicates the ambassa-
dor’s stock is on the upgrade.
It should be remembered that Stevenson was rum-
«rod ready to quit only shortly after he assumed his post
dt the United Nations. He was quoted as having berated
iterator? of State Dean Rusk. His policy — in favor of a
Mtotfrg with Nikita Khrushchev — was spurned.
T.' in recent weeks and months, however, a summit
lifting was held, the President has asked Ste-
Yfenson to undertake this special mission, and the
Ambassador seems to be getting a better reception for j say.
Ids views in the White House than heretofore — in spite
the report, believed reliable, that it was Stevenson
who talked the U.S. Government out of supporting the
recent Cuban invasion with air power.

CHAPTER 17
f A MESON, Jimmy
Vance
Presbyterians And Drinking
„ A milestone was passed in the history of the United
States recently when the United Presbyterian Church
tfecognized the right of individual members to drink mod-
qrately.
si We are not advocating drinking hi this editorial, of
course, but this is significant in the religious history of
the United States because the Presbyterian Church has
been one of those larger Protestant bodies to flatly op-
pose all drinking and deny it as a privilege of individual
members.
■*" in the past the only major, traditional Protestant
Church to condone moderate drinking, in many commu-
nities, has been the Episcopal Church. And it should be
nqted here that southern Presbyterians are not affected.
IT the official position of the United Presbyterianj
Church.
Nevertheless, this is a significant departure for one
•f the major churches to register. In the recent session
ff the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian
Church, this statement was approved:
"There are many persons in our churches who in
honesty and sincerity choose to drink moderately. Those
^rho so drink and those who abstain , . . should respect
Hush other and constructively work together in dealing
with the problem of alcohol.”
A strong reaction will be the result of this statement
lp some areas. Others will approve of it. Whatever one
♦hinkK of it, it is a highly significant development in
tf. 8. church history.

Such things hold true only if
citizens forsake their right to
serve.
Only a free people can enjoy
the privilege of jury duty. A
Greek thinker once said that the
mark of a citizen, as opposed to
an alien, was his right to share
in administering justice.
When jury duty calls, think
of yourself as seeking troth,
hearing all the evidence, heed-
ing the court's instructions, fol-
lowing the lawyers’ arguments,
and laying aside prejudice.

reflection of terror in his eyes.

Rollison coldly, "and what it’s
all about."
Bell said slowly: “I can’t tell
you why. I don’t know. I do

Bell said slowly, bitterly:
’They'd hang me. Can’t you
see what’s happened? Jimmy
Vance was killed and 1 was
framed, it's another form of the
attack on me. I wouldn’t have
a chance.”
Rollison moved away slowly.
It was difficult to feel sure
about Bell's mood; about his
innocence. If Paul Vance was
right, then Bell had a strong
motive for Jimmy Vance's mur-
der; and if anything seemed
certain, it was Nell s devotion
to Griselda Vance.
Rollison said: “The longer

ing.
“What are you saying? V I
thought yol’d betray me-”
I’m going to take you to
them," Rollison said, “or else
call them from here. There’s a
telephone in the other room."
His face was stern and his eyes
agate hard; he wanted BeM to
feel sure that the threat would
be carried out, for if Bell were
fixed with the crisis, be might
give way and teli more at the
truth.
And Fit take tt a step fur-
ther," he went on, “I’M tell
them that Griselda Vance was
hiding you from them. With the
pair of you-"
“Don’t say tt!* BeM cried.
“You wouldn’t he such a swine.
He was breathing very hard
and the stubbornness was be-
ginning to crack. “Griaelda’s
had a hell at a time. If you
knew the truth you wouldn’t
talk about her like that. She
made one dreadful mistake,
when she let Jimmy sweep her
off her feet. He was a hand-
some, headstrong devil, older
than Ms years, and he just
wouldn’t let her alone."
“So—she married him."
Bell closed his eyes.
“She married him,” he re-
peated, “and she's known no
happiness since. Her life's been
torment. Paul turned against
her, hating her. Within a year,
Jimmy was going around with
younger women. Griselda Just
gritted her teeth, and took tt
all."

But Paul hates—how he hates!"
“Why?"
"St I could get into Ms mind,

• “If I could get into your
mind Td be a lot happier," said
Rollison, and swung the pendu-
lum swiftly. "Yon ran hack to

“They'd hang me! Why don't
you realise that?"
A stubborn mule Mks you
would almost deserve it," Rol-
lison said roughly. "Adam, what
game are you playing? What
makes it worth being on the
run? What are you looking
for?"
BeM said: *Y want to find out
who’s gunning for me. I want
to catch one of the swine. I
want to make him talk."
“I’ll do the catching, while
you're safe in jail," Rollison
urged. "This way you're aim-
ply asking for trouble, and-"
He broke off.
Something in his expression
made Adam Bell catch Ms
breath. There was a complete
change of atmosphere; the ten-
sion was no longer between
them; they joined forces against
a new element, a threat which
came from outside.'
RotHson looked towards the
door; and there was a sound,
quiet but unmistakable; then,
silence. Bell’s breathing quick-
ened, and his hand dropped to

W sen political activity will be stepped up as the nation

Republicans are Booking forward to the period with keen an*
t&dpa&iom: Democrats are apprehensive and concerned. The rea-
son can be found in modern-day political hit*
tory. In every off-year election since 1934, the
party out of political power baa picked up
neata in Congress..
At present, both Houses of Congress are
under Democratic control by wide margins.
There is no chance that the Republicans can
win enough Senate seats to take political
control of that body. The House ia another
matter. Republicans must pick up 45 seat*
to win control, and publicly, at least, they
claim they can.
For a party that was defeated In the I960
presidential election, the Republicans are a
happy, optimistic group. They think there is
a awing toward conservatism among the elec-
torate, and that they will benefit politically.
The Republicans point to conservative
movements among the nation’s youth—first time voters—end

asm to this sector of the voting public.

thetr 1960 victory. They are pessimistic about the future and
anne are deeply concerned about the off-year election awing.
At least one of their number believao, however, that it won’t
happen.
Ho argues that the extremely narrow margin of victory ltt

years early, and that they’ll pick up seats—and votes—next

• JOHNSON’S JOB—Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson ia the
person designated by the Constitution to preside over the Senate
when it is in session, Obviously, the globe-trotting Johnson can-
not be in the Senate and in Viet Nam at the same time. Ha
solves this by appointing another senator of either party to
•it in his place for abort periods of time.
Because senators are busy men, those with the least seniority
—the freshmen. In other words—draw the onerous task. It’s
usually a bore, with little to do except occasionally relay some
ruling by the parliamentarian to a sparsely attended session.
One junior senator, however, has made a vir-
tue of the chore. Sea. J. J. Hickey, D-Wyo., has
compiled a record at his periods of presiding
over the Senate, and has proudly announced that
he holds the record for this session. So far, ha
has presided a total ®f MS horns and 10 minutes.
His nearest competitor, Hickey says, is Sea. Lea Metcalf.
