GOP Plan on Rights offered in civil contempt case
President Eisenhower backed a Republican proposal to limit federal judges in criminal contempt cases to jury trials only when they choose. The plan would let judges decide, in voting rights cases, whether a jury is required with penalties of up to 90 days and $300 fine for nonjury trials, or up to six months and $1,000 fine for jury trials. The Senate bill currently guarantees a jury trial and up to six months in prison and $1,000 fine. House leader Martin presented the measure as a way to break the stalemate on civil rights legislation.
