Civil Rights Group Has Legal Power
The newly created Kansas Commission on Civil Rights now has the power to take legal action against job discrimination because of race.
This was the main point of a speech by Carl W. Glatt, executive director of the commission, last night before the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy.
The new commission replaces the Kansas Anti-Discrimination Commission on July 1. Mr. Glatt is also its director.
MR. GLATT SAID that the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights would have the power to receive and investigate complaints on job discrimination because of race. If it finds that discrimination exists, it will try to obtain voluntary compliance with the new law, which makes such discrimination illegal.
If the employer still refuses to comply with the law, the commission can hold a public meeting, whether the employer is present or not. A cease and desist order can be issued if employer discrimination is established at the hearing. Should the employer fail to obey the cease and desist order, the case would then go to a county attorney or the attorney general of Kansas and an injunction or writ of mandamus issued.
A fine of $500 can be levied for failing to comply with the new law, Mr. Glatt said.
He said that the commission was too understaffed to investigate all the cases of discrimination it knows of. He has only one assistant.
"We asked for two field men and got one," Mr. Glatt said. "We asked for a $57,000 budget and got $46,000.
HE SAID there are cases of discrimination at such job sites as missile plants and dam construction projects. Negroes have gone to these sites and been denied applications and told there were no jobs available.
"They have gone out and seen from 10 to 15 to 50 men hired but they could get no jobs. And they have seen white workers fill out applications and begin working three or four days later." Mr. Glatt said

He explained that these cases were too widely separated for the commission to cover all of them with its present staff.
Mr. Glatt explained that his commission acted on complaints from citizens who felt they had been discriminated against.

If the Negro has average ability and average grades on qualification tests and he is passed over for someone who has lower grades, the commission will investigate.

Civil Engineers Get Top Honors
An exhibit of the civil engineering department has taken top honors in the University of Kansas' 41st annual Engineering Exposition held last weekend.
The department won the Sigma Tau (honorary engineering fraternity) trophy for the outstanding display and was first-place winner in the original display division.
An electrical engineering department exhibit won first place in the academic display division.
The civil engineering exhibit carried out the exposition theme, "Prospects for the Future," by showing the part civil engineering might play in developments of space investigation and utilization. Included in the display were an earth rocket port, a model of a device for making pure drinking water from sea water, and a small colony on the moon, with examples of equipment needed to make it inhabitable for man.
The electrical engineering department displayed 10 examples to trace the history of computing methods from the abacus through the modern digital computer. Larry E. Miller, Coffeyville senior, was chairman of the exhibit.

Awards, Moot Trial to Mark Law Day at KU
A moot court competition, a Law Review critique, award of honors and an address by the "Flying Professor" feature the annual Law Day program tomorrow.
About 300 persons, including judges, practicing lawyers, faculty and students, will attend the banquet tomorrow evening in the Kansas Union, according to Robert E. Edmonds, Lawrence third-year law student and president of the KU Student Bar Association.
PROF. LEFLAR has been dean of law at the University of Arkansas and a justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court. He has been visiting professor at many law schools, including Kansas in 1932-33.
Robert A. Leflar is the "Flying Professor," so known because of his frequent commuting between the University of Arkansas, where he is Distinguished Professor, and New York University, where he directs summer seminars for Appellate Judges.
The Green Hall courtroom will be
the scene of a competition between the KU School of Law's two best moot court teams at 3 p.m. James B. Lowe, Winfield, and Donald H. Louden, Kansas City, Kan., will be paired against James L. Rose, Topeka, and George Maier Jr., Chicago, Ill. All are 2nd year law students.
Judges for the moot court will be Judge Spencer Gard of Iola, Judge O. Q. Claflin III of Kansas City, and former Justice Walter G. Thiele, Topeka.
FOLLOWING PROF. Leflar's address will be the annual presentation of awards, including those for Order of the Coif, Moot Court, Law Review writing and several scholarships.
Among the guests will be three justices of the Kansas Supreme Court and wives: the Honorable Clair E. Robb, Harold R. Fatzer and Schuyler Jackson. In attendance at their first Law Day banquet will be Chancellor and Mrs. W. Clarke Wescoe.
