Ervin in a Senate speech as sailed the whole idea of denial of trial by jury which he said is involved in the civil-rights Issue.

"The most shameful story in the judicial annals of America, he said, "was written during the generation preceding our own when Federal judges robbed labor of its right to trial by jury, its right of freedom of speech by substituting Government by injunction for Government by law." He said the "so-called civil rights bills are calculated and intended to establish government by Injunction" and the Senate should hark back to the days of Samuel Gompeis before considering acting on the civil rights. uompers, he said, was sentenced to jail on contempt-of court charges by a Federal judge because "he had truthfully stated orally and in print that no law compelled his hearers or readers to buy a stove manu factured by Bucks Stove and Range Company." He said no Jury tried the case but Gompers missed going to jail only because the Supreme Court held that a three-year statute of limitations had lapsed before Gompers was tried and convicted by the judge.

Gas Blast Rips House In Toledo Toledo, Ohio, March 25 A surge of gas, blamed by fire authorities on a defective regulator on a gas main, caused an explosion in one house and threatened other houses in a Toledo neighborhood today. There were no injuries.

The explosion was at the home of Mrs. Robert Llebnau. Mrs. Llebnau said the gas heater and kitchen range in her home suddenly gave out a terrific roar and shot flame. Grabbing her two children, she fled the house just ahead of an explosion that broke windows and damaged a side door.

The Ohio Fuel Gas Company cut off gas to 130 homes for hours. The company checked appliances in all homes in the area before service was restored. Several residents In the area reported hearing a rumbling noise as the surge of gas caused appliances to vibrate and in some cases send out long tongues of flame. A company spokesman said something held the regulator valve open, sending too much gas through the main. I HAZARD SEEN LOW FROM A-REACTORS Less Dangerous To U.S.

Than Autos, Strauss Says Washington, March 25 (JT) Congress was told today that automobiles are thousands of times more of a hazard to Americans lives than a full- fledged atomic-power industry would be. Lewis L. Strauss, Atomic Energy Commission chairman, said that although atomic re actors have been running In this country since 1942 there has not et been an accident that In jured anyone or scattered radio activity so as to "-affect the public." Strauss, appearing before the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, dismissed the latest reported atomic incident, an ex plosion in a test device at the Los Alamos (N.M.) laboratory February 12, as "equivalent to the explosion of two shotgun shells." The committee is considering bill to encourage private con struction of nuclear power plants by providing Government indemnity against damage judgments in case' of possible acci dents. The Indemnity would go up to $500,000,000, whereas pri- ate insurance now available cuts oft at about $65,000,000,000. Asks Scientists Strauss said the AEC, seeking information for the committee on possible hazards, asked a group of scientists to imagine the worst combination of circumstances likely to occur at a nuclear plant and estimate the hances and results of accidents.

Some of the estimates, he said, were: 1. If there were 100 large power reactors going at once in the country, there would be less than 1 change in 000 of getting killed in any year in a reactor accident." By con trast, the chairman said, the chances of death by automobile accident are about 1 in 5,000. Chances Set Low 2. The liability of a major accident occurring was estimated at from one chance in 100,000 per year to one in per year. 3.

If, nevertheless, such an accident did occur, the casualties might range from zero to 3.400 injured; the property damage $500,000 to $7,000,000,000. Strauss said the AEC is requiring companies which build nuclear reactors to include multiple duplicating safety devices against the possibility of accidents that might release radioactive products. "Only by means of highly un-likey combinations of mechanical and human failures could such releases occur," he said Check, $2,193 Cash Found At Wreck Site N.C., March 25 Some $2,193.02 in cash and a check for $1,725 were found Saturday at the scene of an auto-truck collision in which a Watertown (Mass.i man was killed. Another $1,000 or more, may have burned in the fire that destroyed the car and truck, Highway Patrolman G. T.

Davis reported today. George William Smith, 58, of Watertown, was pulled from the wreckage of the burning car by the driver of the truck and another man, but was dead, Davis reported. The money was turned over to Smith's son, George William Smith, of Wilmington, who came here yesterday.

Complaints Blossom When Flotcers Don't St. Paul, March 25 (JP) A man who allegedly sprouted a small financial empire from non existent geraniums was fined $1,000 today and ordered to re pay all his clamoring customers The fine was Imposed on Ed win A. Kraft, 61, by Federal Judge Dennis Donovan after Kraft, through his attorney, threw himself on the mercy of the court. Kraft was convicted here In 1955 of using the mails to de fraud in a mail-order venture which allegedly netted him $26,000.

It was contended that Kraft, operator of the Seminole Gardens In Cornell, offered geranium plants at four for $1 on a money-back guarantee car ried by the defendant in nearly 100 major newspapers. 2,000 Complaints Investigative work by the St. Paul Disptach and Pioneer Press helped lead to Kraft's arrest after complaints were received from persons who got neither the flowers nor their money back. The Post Office Depart ment subsequently received more than 2,000 complaints. Kraft was sentenced to five years in prison and $2,000 fine.

But the conviction was reversed in United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which ordered a new trial. Kraft's attorney contended today his client was the victim of a simple business failure, and that he had suffered enough. He entered a plea for Kraft of nolo contendere, or no contest. Donovan placed Kraft on five years' probation on condition he pay back all money owed to customers. It's Cold In Hawaii 57 Decrees Reported Honolulu, March 25 (JP) Hawaii experienced a cold snap last night.

And the town'i sickness can adversely affect the mental health of Its people. Soma towns are schizoid clinging to the past yet wanting new and better things, said Dr. Andrew S. Tomb, of Victoria, Texas. They won't vote school bonds yet don't like doubled-up school sessions, for example.

Talks To Family Doctors Others are psychopathic with no regrets over their past and no worries about their future. Some are In the depressive phase of social and economic Othen are maniaa boomtowns growing too fast, without enough schools, streets and health facilities. 'Sick communities are partly where we get troublesome things from inhuman behavior," Dr. Tomb declared at the an- nual meeting of the American Academy of General Practice, the organization of family doctors. Family doctors, who know and treat the people, should be the first to recognize what is wrong in school systems, lack of recreational facilities, In bad influences on families and children.

Favors Mora Training "Even a new bowling alley can be a good ana neauny thing," he said. "Husbands and wives tired, irritated and griped after the day's work can take out their hostilities on bowling pins rather than on each other and their children." Dr. Tomb is chairman of an A.A.G.P. committee working with an American Psychiatric Association committee to inten sify treatment and prevention of mental illnesses, the nation most widespread disease. The joint committee agrees family doctors can and must do far more in treating mental and emotional sickness.

It recommends more training. medical school and afterward, of family doctors in psychiatric matters, closer co-operation between physicians and psychiatrists, stepping up of community and state mental-health programs and facilities.

March 25 (JP) Senator Hennings Rio.) said his move to get immediate ac tion on a pending civil-rights bill had the votes to win today, but it was bypassed by the Sen ate Judiciary Committee.

Hennings said he would bring the question up "again ana again and again, if necessary. He reported that Chairman Eastland Miss.) adjourned a closed-door committee session before any action could be taken on his motion for immediate consideration of the bill. Says It Wasn't Rebuff But. Hennings maintained It wasn't a rebuff and he would push the motion at the commit tee's next session. The civil-rights measure al ready has been approved by a Judiciary subcommittee headed by Hennings.

Approval of his motion today would have made the bill eligible for immediate amendment or approval in its present form. Hennings, who Is sparking a drive to get the civil-rights leg islation approved, estimated a winning 8-to-4 vote could have been mustered on his motion if there was a roll call today. He said there was some lengthy discussion by two op ponents of the bills. Senators Ervin N.C.) and Johnston S. C).

In the midst of this the signal bell sounded to an nounce the Senate was in ses sion. "Matters On The Calendar" Eastland said he had "matters on the calendar" in the Senate hich needed his attention, and the meeting adjourned, Hen' nings reported. Eastland said later there had been objections to Hennlngs's motion on the ground that an official printed record of the subcommittee's hearing on the bill had not been received A "purported favorable report was sent around (to the commit tee) on midafternoon Saturday," Eastland said, but that he did not consider this an official filing of the report. A spokesman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, however, said in a statement "it is obvious" that Senators Ervin, Johnston and "their other anti-civil-rights colleagues were giving a practical demonstration" at the meeting of the technique of pigeonholing a bill. Clarence Mitchell, director of the NA.A.C.P.'s Washington bureau, added that the bill was being held up by "deception and filibuster." The civil-rights bill involved would give the Government new- authority to protect voting rights, allow the Justice Department to intervene to protect civil rights, set up a new civil-rights division in the Justice Department and create a special AuaiH 1BVt I 7 bond i 1 IIS Washington.

March 25 Faced with a Defense Department budcet allowing nothing for fur ther development of the great C-132 carKO-transport plane which would carry a record pounds at 32.000 feet the Douglas Aircraft Company todav took before the public it case for a continuous and rapid expansion of the nation's airlift A display of models and graphs as explained by some of the company leading teen nologists in the first of scries of shows to be taken over the country. In todays audience were several general officers and F. H. Higgins. the army's Assistant Secretary for Logis tics, primarily concerned with matters of troop and weapons airlift.

In mid-April there will be another Washington showing lor interested congressmen. Interruption Dangerous The Douelas contention Is that defense economizing which causes even a one-year interrup tion to development of the armed services' high-speed long-range airlift is dangerous Specifically, it is pointed out the five types of cargo-transports now in Air Force service can travel only l.uoo to z.iuu miles without refueling, which means that whatever war developments may be, an overseas base is essential. The three ad vanced types which Douglas Is developing would reach 3,500 miles, as does the Boeing 707 which lately was shown in Baltimore. Other significant points stressed today were these: 1. Only by employment of the larger cargo planes is it possible to transport by air the Army largest projected weapons, such as the greater missiles which the Army confidently plans to use overseas.

No existing planes can handle them. Faster Transports Planned 2. The developments now under way. but facing interruption by reason of the defense budget limitations, would otherwise promise that in three years air-transports will go twice as fast as those the Air Force now uses, nearly twice as fast as some and other three times as fast as others, and at over three times the altitude. The range plus other attributes, is important not only in war but in peace, by reason of the greatly reduced ton-mile costs which result.

A startling claim is that this cost item would be markedly lower at rbort, middle, and long dis tances than in the case of the five types now in use. In some instances the company predicts that further developments will mean a 3ls cent rate rather than a 12-cent rate. Army's Interest Profound "Commercial airlifting is In its infancy," said one of the engineers confidently. The Army's Interest In these developments is profound, inasmuch as it is Army personnel and Army materiel, which would constitute a large part of the airlift. The Army's powers to acquire, however, are zero, as Defense Department rulings limit this long-range operation to the Air Force, on whose performance the Army is therefore dependent.

This applies even to an entirely new type of transport plane ia the early stages of development, shown here today for the first time. This is a short-take-off plane, with 1.500 mile range, presumably of as much interest to Marines as to the Army, as it could operate easily from a carrier deck. The main show of models was of the huge C-132, which could carry 100 soldiers in an air-conditioned space plus a massive cargo on the lower deck; the C-133 carrying 300 (now in advanced development and facing operational suitability tests this summer); and the DC-8, carrying 150 men or 55.000 pounds at 478 knots. The Air Force is expected to buy 35 of the C-133s; in contrast it has 450 of the C-124s which came out five years ago and which flies at only 190 instead of 267 knots. The gap In relative efficiencies is unmis-takeable.

Murphy To Study Ellis Papers Boston, March 25 (P) Rendition papers asking return of Mr anrt Mrs. Melvin Ellis from Florida to face kidnapping charges were placed in the hands of acting Gov. Robert F. Murphy today. Murphy said he will study the papers and probably not decide today whether to sign them.

The Ellises were arrested in Miami, as fugitives from Massachusetts. They are charged In Norfolk county with kidnapping Hildy McCoy, now 6, who has been in their care since she was a baby. The child's natural mother, Marjorie McCoy Doherty, a Cttholic, moved to revoke a custody agreement after learning the Ellises are Jewish. The Ellises were refused adoption of the child.
