/ ft THE McIIENRY t>LAlNDCAt£R Thursday, May 20. 1365 (Capitol feseporl One of the most controversial issues soon to come before the U. S. House of Representatives is contained in Section 4 of the proposed Voting Rights Act of. 1965. The11 provisions of this section would authorize transfer of much of the local and state voting machinery to federal officials in six southern states and the state of Alaska --without any prior judicial determination and without any effective right of review. The controversial Section 4 would vest blanket authority in the U. S. Attorney General over • all of these states on the ground that they are guilty of discrimination because less than 50 per cent of their citizens of voting age cast ballots in the November, 1964, election. As a result of this triggering device, thfe Attorney General would be< authorized to appoint federal examiners in place of local election officials. What is rr.ore, such a determination by the Attorney General would have the automatic effect of setting aside any and all voting qualifications and standards except those of age and residence. Illiterates as well as those of poor moral character would become entitled to register and vote despite the existence of valid state laws which impose such voting qualifications. The determination of the Attorney General would not be dependent upon any court order and no state or subsidiary voting district could be relieved from the impact of such federal control except by satisfying the impossible determination that for the prior five years such tests or qualifications (required by state law) had not in fact been used. In addition, such appeal could only be filed in the District court of the District of Columbia. The section contains an additional severe provision; namely, that the determinations and certifications of the Attorney General "shall not be reviewable in any court and shall be effective upon publication in the Federal Register." If the legislation is adopted in this form, it is the feeling of many that local election officials will simply relinquish their responsibility and resign themselves to a federal takeover of local and state election machinery in the «affected areas. A second and alternative method for establishing voting rights is contained in Section 3. .This section is predicated upon a judicial determination of discrimination following an application of the Attorney General that the 15th Amendment of the federal Constitution is being violated. Furthermore, this section appears to provide speedy relief coupled with similar authority for the appointment of federal examiners to serve as long as such discriminatory practices persist. The section authorizes judicial review without however delaying the authority to register and vote on the part of any qualified citizen. Section 3 would be applicable in all 50 states and is intended as an effective and expeditious solution to the denial of voting rights. The reason for the double standard of federal intervention is not clear. The Attorney General, at a recent closed-door meeting, appeared to be under the impression that Section 3 did not permit the setting aside of voting tests which were u^ed for purposes of practicing discrimination. He was mistaken in this regard. In fact, Section 3 could serve as a single adequate method of assuring equal voting rights for all. Consequently, one may ask why it is necessary to grant to the Attorney General authority for summary action without coifrt authority or judicial review. In seeking to assure Constitutional voting rights to our Negro citizens, it is important that the Congress proceed according to traditional, Constitutional methods. To en fore the 15th Amendment (guaranteeing equal voting rights) while doing violence to the 14th Amendment (guaranteeing due process of law) is hardly consistent with the principles to which the House Judiciary Cojnmitee and the U. S. Congress should adhere. RINGWOOD MAN RECOGNIZED BY U.S. GOVERNMENT Clayton Bruce, Soil Conservation Service tectyiician, assisting McHenry Gounty Soil and Water Conservation District, was honored recently with a certificate and pin from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture in recognition for twenty years of conscientious service. As a technician he is available to give assistance on design and layout of conservation practices that better manage the soil and water resources. It is evident that this involves people, their attitudes, living standards, recreational activities and other aspects of their life, for both young and old, rural and urban. That he has earned this award is farther justified by the admiration of all who have come to know him. Mr. Bruce was born and raised on a farm in Wayne county, 111., where he graduated from elementary and high school. I^e attended college at Centralia, majoring in bookkeeping and business management, then studied forestry at Norton's Institute of Forestry in Denver, Colo. He is married to the former Virginia Carlson and they have resided most of their married life in Ringwood. They have seven children. Working as farm manager in the Ringwood area occupied most of his time until 1943, when he took a position with the U. S. Forest Service. He worked in Illinois and Ohio as field supervisor, and later in Minnesota as camp superintendent and fo^st ranger of the George Washington National Forest. • Mr. Bruce transfered to the Soil Conservation in 1947, and spent a year in Jo Davies county as conservation aid, ten years in Geneva, and was promoted to conservation technician to assist McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District in 1959.

"The recent floods provide a graphic example to us all that it is not an idea for farming areas alone," he pointed out "Our neighbors • in town have a great stake in what happens to the'land that sustains and it is a stake that will grow in importance as our national family prows and producing acreage become less." Fiske also stressed that the present abundance in food and fiber is a blessing that we can't expect to last year after year but that the conservation use of our resources now can mean a de- CROSSWORD • By A.
