...Double. Acting on his orders, Southern orators zeroed in on the jury-trial gimmick, forced New York's Emanuel Celler and other advocates into an uncomfortable posture of constant defense.

When the Southerners hinted that they could sniff 240 votes in favor of their amendment, Administration forces were flabbergasted and alarmed...
...concern is crystallized in a proposed Constitutional amendment now before a House Judiciary sub-committee, headed by Rep. Emmanuel Celler.

A House Judiciary subcommittee, holding hearings on monopolistic practices in the broadcasting industry last week, wound up testimony from leading tunesmiths, lyric writers and librettists. Upstaging Committee Chairman Emanuel Celler were Librettists Alan Jay (My Fair Lady) Lerner, Oscar (South Pacific) Hammerstein II, Dorothy (I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby) Fields and Otto (Roberta) Harbach; Composer Stanley (What a Difference a Day Made) Adams, Occasional Songwriter Billy (Barney Google) Rose. Their statements were all designed to show...
