Freedom Rides To Continue
Despite Adverse Criticism
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The so-called "Freedom Rides"
to Southern cities will continue
despite some criticism that the
segregation tests have not aided
the cause of the Negro.
"We see no choice but to con
tinue the Freedom Rides," said
Gordon Carey o New York, iicld
director for the Congress of Ka
cial Equality (CORE), after a
strategy session Tuesday in jack
son, Miss., by leaders of the
movement challenging segrega
tion practices in public transpor
tation facilities.
Representatives of the four
sponsoring organizations, saia
Carey, "concluded that because
segregation is a living factor in
Jackson and other Southern cit
ies" the rides would not end.
Leaders of the movement felt
they would ultimately achieve de
segregation througn moral pres
sures exerted by the riders, legal
pressures and an educational pro
eram.
"I don't think you can look to
the courts alone for an answer,
said Carey, "or to non-violence
alone."
Meanwhile, he told a news con
ference. the sponsors would
screen all prospective riders to
eliminate persons "who might
have a political ideology such as
communism." the emotionally un
stable, those with health problems
and those who do not understand
what jail terms involve.

He said county officials declined
to give him a receipt for valu
ables after his transfer from the
city to the Hinds County jail.
Sheriff J. R. Gilfoy promised a
thorough investigation of the complaint.
Walker, executive director of
the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference said, however, city of
ficers dealt courteously with him
and other riders.
As the integration strategists
met, U.S. Dist. Judge Sidney Mize
ruled that he could not order the
state to free Elizabeth Wyckoff,
one of the jailed Freedom Rid
ers.
He said Miss Wyckoff, a free
lance writer from New York City,
would have to go through trie
state courts first.
Miss Wyckoff, the first white
woman jailed with the riders,
contended her 67-day sentence for
breach of peace didn't give her
time to exhaust legal remedies in
state courts.
She had also asked Mize to de
clare Mississippi's breach of
peace law unconstitutional in it
self and in its application to the
Freedom Riders.
Miss Wyckoff's attorney said he
would seek an immediate hear
ing from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals at New Orleans.

farmers have a hand in drafting
controls.
Sen. Allen J. Ellendcr, D La.,
said Wednesday the provision
which he called the "take it or
leave it" feature appears dead
for this session of Congress.
By a 98 vote, the committee
rejected Tuesday the proposal
that programs for individual com
modities be drawn up by the Sec
retary of Agriculture and farm
er advisory committees, subject
to Congressional veto.
The action seemed to leave in
doubt whether the com m i 1 1 e e
would even try to get passage
this year of the omnibus farm
bill.
Tuesday's Senate action fol
lowed a similar vote by the House
Agriculture Committee Monday,
thus appearing to kill any chance
for the proposal described as
Title 1 of the omnibus bill.
Tuesday the Senate committee
turned down 9 to 8 a substitute
for Title I offered by Ellender.
By the same vote it then ap
proved a substitute by Sens.
George D. Aiken, R-Vt., and Spes
sard L. Holland, D-Fla., to reject
the administration plan and con
tinue existing farm programs with
some changes.
Ellender said Tuesday he may
ask the committee to reconsider
its two 9 8 votes.
Ellender said the Aiken-Ilolland
proposal "would give little if any
more authority to a secretary of
agriculture than he now has."
Aiken said in a separate inter
view that a majority of the com
mittee, regardless of party, ob
jected to requests of Secretary of
Agriculture Orville L. freeman.
"He appeared to want to bypass
Congress in formulating farm pro
grams," Aiken said. "Our substi
tute is harmless."
Freeman, with public support of
President Kennedy; had urged
Congress to give farm crop or
commodity groups authority to
draft their own control, price sup
port and marketing programs.
Congress would have 60 days to
veto them. Otherwise they would
go into operation if two-thirds of
the eligible producers approved
them.

President Kennedy ranged over
a series of critical world and na
tional affairs in his first press con
ference in eight weeks today.
Some of the subjects were these:
TRACTORS FOR FREEDOM
Of the apparently dead negotia
tion to exchange U.S. tractors for
Cuban refugees captured in their
abortive attempt to overthrow
the Fidel Castro regime, Kennedy
said a committee of prominent
U.S. citizens "went to every con
ceivable length in order to de
monstrate their good faith" in
dealing with Castro.
"Mr. Castro would not accept
it," he said thus throwing blame
for the apparent collapse of the
transaction on the Cuban dictator.
INTELLIGENCE Kennedy
said Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
whom he has recalled to duty as
his personal military representa
tive, has reported orally to him
on a survey of U.S. intelligence
capabilities. Asked if he planned
any reorganization of federal
agencies concerned with intelli
gence activity, Kennedy said a
committee is studying the matter
and when it is finished, "we may
have some changes." He did not
elaborate.
SUMMIT Kennedy said his
meeting in Vienna with Khrush
chev early this month "was use
ful, certainly to me in meeting
my responsibility." Perhaps, he
added, it also was useful to
Khrushchev.
.The issues they discussed are
extremely serious, Kennedy said
"They involve the security ot
the United States and they in
volve also the peace of the
world."
The President said there are no
plans at this point for a further
meeting with Khrushchev.
LAOS Kennedy said the United
Stales still hopes the Geneva con
ference on Laos can come up with
effective ceasefire controls in
that Southeast Asian country. He
said U.S. representatives will re
main at Geneva to determine if
this can be achieved.
MARITIME Since the govern
ment subsidizes the Americin
Merchant Marine, Kennedy said
it is concerned with the problem
of American-owned ships operat
ing under foreign flags in order
to benefit, as he put it, from lower
wages that can be paid to sea
men. This is one of the issues
that prompted the martimc
strike a dispute which caused
Kennedy to invoke the Taft
Hartley Act this week in an ef
fort to get striking shipping un-
Vanderbilt Intoxicated
When He Fell To Death
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Mil-liopaire
George Vanderbilt III was
drunk when ho fell or jumped to
his death from a Nob Hill hotel, a
pathologist's report showed Tues
day. Coroner Henry Turkel an
nounced findings that Vanderbilt
had an estimated .23 per cent al
cohol in his blood when he plunged
from his 10th floor suite at the
Mark Hopkins Saturday.
Turkel said that in California a
person was legally considered
drunk when tests prove alcoholic
content in the blood to be .15 per
cent or more.
ions back lo work.
As for what action the govern
ment may take concerning U.S.
merchant ships flying foreign
flags, Kennedy said he would pre
fer to wait until the fact-finding
committee he appointed under the
Taft-Hartley Act makes its report
and other possible solutions can
be explored.
But he said the unions involved
also have an obligation in a high
ly competitive business lest more
and more ships leave U.S. control
for foreign supervision.
TEXTILES Kennedy said the
administration was not commit
ted to a plan which U.S. textile
interests contend would open the
nation to an increase in low-price
textile imports.
NIXON Asked about recent
criticism of his administration by
former Vice President Richard
M. Nixon, Kennedy said in a clear
reference to the next election that
he would continue to do his best
until 1964 "and then we can see
what the situation looks like."
U.S. VS. THE SOVIET UNION
Going further into his challenge
to the Soviet Union on peaceful
economic competition, Kennedy
said economics was an uncertain
science but this country must de
vise steps to provide not only a
recovery now but a sustained
one.
LATIN AMERICA Kennedy
was asked to define the relation
ship of policy makers on the
White House staff and those in
the State Department in view of
what a reporter said had been
criticism of the administration's
conduct of inter-American affairs.
There had been reports that
Kennedy had difficult finding an
assistant secretary of state for
inter-American affairs because
White House aides had under
taken an active role in drafting
policy in that area.
From his experience in govern
ment, Kennedy replied, when
there is no controversy there is
little happening; if one really
wants complete harmony, "tho
best way to do it is not to do any
thing." "So we are attempting to do
something about Latin America,"
he added, "and there is bound to
be a ferment."
