MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1960 Plan To Pressure Kennedy on Civil Rights Is Opposed Barilochc, Argentina - 0JP1) - Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett Saturday ran into itonewall opposition with a plan to use the South's un committed electoral voles to pressure President-elect John F. Kennedy on civil rights. Two other governors predict ed Barnett would fail. Governors Ernest F. Hol lings of South Carolina and James T. Blair Jr. of Missouri, a border state, said the Mis sissippi idea had won no sup porters among the other southerners in the party of 28 governors visiting Argentina. Mississippi has eight elec toral votes committed neither to Kennedy nor to Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon. Ala bama has six uncommitted votes. The 14 votes would not be enough to affect the out come of the presidential elec tion. Blair brushed off the Bar nett plan. Doesn't Have Chance "It does not have a cance now and never had a chance," he said. Hollings told United Press International at this mountain resort: "The American people are not going to stand for politicking after the election. Sixty - eight million persons voted and the people have spoken." Hollings said the idea once had interested him but an analysis of the situation show ed "it is wholly impractica ble." Both Kennedy and Nixon "could answer that civil rights are a matter for the courts and both probably would flatly refuse to bargain and would be solidly backed by the nine southern states," he said. Hollings also said other slates with bigger electoral votes could start counter-action against the South and would eventually prevail. Hollings said Barnett had been talking up his plan among the southern governors visiting Argentina but none of the governors were recep tive to it.

Buenos Aires-Tropical soils in general are among the ! world's least fertile because they are subject to continual erosion by prevailing torren tial rains. COURT HELD a public seivice by I he . COLLEGE of LAW i WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Rumply was walking home through the forest one dreary, ! dismal, foggy night when, sud-1 denly, he noticed Otwell, one of his best friends, coming to ward him. Rumply was strangely consumed by an overwhelming urge to kill Ot-well-so he picked up a large club, hid behind a tree, and clubbed Otwell to death as he walked by. At his trial for murder, Rumply pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Two psy chiatrists testified that Rump ly was mentally deranged, and that gloomy weather had so depressed him that he sud denly had an "irresistible im pulse" to kill, even though at the very same time he knew that it was wrong to kill. THE COURT HELD: Rump ly convicted of first degree murder. If a person is so in sane that he does not know the difference between right and wrong, he cannot be con victed of murder. However, if one knows the difference be tween right and wrong, he will still be convicted even though he had an "irresistible impulse" to kill.
