The President also asked limit ed authority from Congress so the attorney general could for the first time file suits to force integration of public schools which have lagged in carrying out the Supreme Court's 1954 de segregation edict. The legislation also would give the President discretionary au thority to make sure that not a dollar of federal funds was spent to aid any program or activity in which there is racial dis crimination. He said a flat cutoff of such aid would hurt Negroes more than it would help them. Seeks Rights Extension Kennedy also renewed previous requests for a four-year extension of the civil rights commission and for legislation to make it easier for Negroes to vote by limiting the use of literacy tests. Kennedy based his most sweep ing requests legislation to bar discrimination in public facili ties on two constitutional doc trines. He said the federal government has power to lower these racial barriers because they hamper the economy and the flow of in terstate commerce. Secondly, he said, Congress has authority un der the 14th Amendment to pass legislation that makes sure that state law guarantees equal pro tection to all its citizens. The President, defending his request against arguments that the government should not Inter fere in a private properly own er's decision on who to serve, said the law can require non-dis Wheat Proposal Should Suit JFK WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., today proposed a wheat program which he said would probably fill Presi dent Kennedy's requirements for any new wheat legislation this year. . McGovern said the program oi mandatory production controls and high price supports over whelmingly rejected by farmers May 21 could be converted with a brief bill into a voluntary com pliance program. Under such a program, he said, formers choosing to comply with the controls proposed for the 10114 cron would get price sup ports of about $1.05-a bushel, plus payments for land ' taken; out of rain production. , Those cooperating will get mar keting certificates for about three-fourths . of their 1984 crop. These certificates, which farmers could sell, would be worth 70 cents a . bushel. This would be added to the money the farmers could make either from open market sales or putting the grain under government supports at about $1.25 a bushel. Other congressional news: Depressed Areas: Senate lead ers worked today to try to rescue President Kennedy's depressed areas aid plan from the stunning House upset last week. They scheduled the bill for Senate dc bato Tuesday, and Democratic Whip ' Hubert II. Humphrey, Minn., said he hoped it would be approved and receive a "more n easant experience ' wnen u is returned to Ihe House. Taxes: Administration forces hoped today to persuade the llouso Ways & Means commiuce to approve heavier taxes on divi dends of big stockholders with tax relief for small stockholders. The compromise was expected to be accepted by a close vote. Baptist Pastor To Visit The Rev. John N. Goss, former pastor of the First Southern Bap list Church in Roseburg, will be in the city Thursday and Friday of this week, according to the church pastor, the Rev. Lester Stone. A covered dish dinner has been arranged for Thursday at 6 p.m. in Ihe social hall of the church to give members and friends an op portunity to renew their acquain tance. Coffee will be furnished. Goss late last year accepted Ihe pastorate of Ihe Grace Baptist Church in Bend. crimination in public places just as it demands that railroads and airlines provide equal service to all. No Criminal Penalty Under Kennedy's proposal, any one denied service because of race could seek a court order, probably an injunction, against the store or store owner. There would be no criminal penalty for discrimination hut a federal judge might jail or fine the target of the action until he obeyed the directive. Tax Committee Eyes Proposal On Dividends WASHINGTON (UPI) - By sweetening the proposal with tax relief for small slockholders, ad ministration forces hoped today to persuade the House Ways it Means Committee to approve heavier taxes on dividends of big slockholders. The committee was called be hind closed doors to vote on the compromise. It refused by a 1411 vote last week to tamper with the tax benefits enjoyed by stockhold ers. However, the compromise vas expected to be accepted by a close vote. If so, it would boost to $900 mil lion the new revenue the commit tee has picked up in its first round of tentative votes on Presi dent Kennedy's tax-rcduclion-and- revision program. The compromise would yield $300 million in new revenue. The committee Tuesday voted restric tions on individuals' itemized tax deductions that would yield $500 million in revenue. Previous de cisions accounted for the other $100 million. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D Ark., is putting off committee de cisions on the across-the-board rate cuts Kennedy has proposed for Individuals and corporations. Mills wants to know first how much new revenue the commit tee will provide through tax tightening revisions in the tax ftriicturc. Under existing law the first $50 In dividends received by a stock holder ($100 in the case of a couple filing a joint return) is free of tax and the remainder is taxod 41 percentage points below the taxpayer's regular rate. Kennedy colled for repeal of these provislens which were writ ten Into law by a republican Con gress In 1954. The compromise plan would boost the tax exemp tion to $100 ($200 in the case of a couple filing jointly) and repeal the 41 per cent credit. The committee voted Tuesday to bar individuals from claiming deductions on federal income tax returns for the stale and local taxes they pay on gasoline, auto mobile tags and drivers' licenses, cigarettes and alcohol and other beverages.

SHIP AND TRAVEL... automated rail way UNION PACIFIC Dl 5 8461 Roseburg Ministers, Laymen Give Views On Prayer Ruling By MARION BYRON News-Review Staff Writer : ine eneci oi me auicinc vuun 'ruling which declared unconstitu tional the use of tne ura s l-ray-er and Bible reading as devotional opening exercises in public schools is likely to have little effect on schools in Douglas County. How ever, opinion on the question is varied, as is the interpretation of the ruling. According to County School Supt. Kenneth Barneburg, schools in the county have not customarily includ ed such exercises in their sched ules and there is no requirement for such. "As far as I know, this Ccurt Approves Ex-Ccmmunist Fcr Oregon Bar SALEM (UPI) The Oregon Su preme Court, by a 5-2 decision, ruled today that a former mem ber of the Communist party could be admitted to the Oregon Bar. The high court approved the ap plication of Bernard Jolles of Port land for admission to the bar. The State Board of Bar Exam iners had recommended that his application be denied on the ground that he had failed to es tablish that he was a person of ?ood moral character because of having been a member of the Communist party from 1949 to 1957. Justice Kenneth J. O'Conncll wrote the majority opinion. Justice William C. Perry wrote a dissenting opinion in which Chief Justice William McMcAllis ter joined. The high court concluded that Jolles is now free from Commun ist influences which distorted his moral judgment and that he Is a person of good moral character. The majority of the State Bar Board of Examiners found the evidence of his rehabilitation un convincing. The court said it concluded that Jolles' refusal to disclose the j names of his former colleagues for fear that it would harm them ' was sincere and that it should ! not be used as a basis for denying i him the privilege of practicing law. 1 The high court noted that Jolles , voluntarily disclosed his past membership in the Communist ' party when he made application to take the bar examination.

However, a fall meeting of school administrators will clarify the sub ject and the local districts by their own board action, can put a slop to the practice if it is necessary. In the light of past procedures, I do not anticipate that this will pose a problem," Barneburg said. Problems Few Harry Jacoby, assistant superin tendent of District 4, said that he did not feel that the ruling would have much, if any, effect on Rose burg schools, or for that matter, on any of the public schools in the state. His statement paralleled that of Barneburg. Harold Glover, Roseburg busi ness man who is active in schogl and church affairs, said that a cording to his interpretation of the ruling, freedom of choice in tfco matter will not be taken away. "If that were so," Glover said, "t feel that it would be a different thing." Glover added that he felt such religious exercises should not be compulsory or state-required, but that the teacher, if she wishes, should be able to have her stu dents sing Christmas carols or to lead similar activities for those who wished to participate. Concern Expressed 1 Clerical reaction took a differ ent tone. While many of the area's clergymen are out of the city con ducting Christian youth camps or attending conventions of their denominations, those contacted ex pressed sharp concern. ,, The Rev. Alfred S. Tyson of St. George's Episcopal Church said the decision "writes the end to the con cept we have of a Christian na tion. It is one more step in the trend toward making America a godless nation." Tyson added that, in his opinion, the one dissenting voice, that of Justice Stewart, was much closer to the ideals of the founding fathers of the nation. The Rev. Lester P. Stone of the First Southern Baptist Church echo ed Tyson's statement. "It is a sad commentary if we fail to recognize the founding stone of our nation," he said. Along with other clergy men, Stone said that the key word in the decision is "require." If any such exercises are outlawed com pletely, even on a voluntary basis, it will be a sad thing," Stone stated. Blood Donations Below 300 Pints Harry L. Hill joined the small list of five-gallon blood donors this week during the two-day visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobilc. Despite his efforts, the quota of 300 pints was not reached. The final total was 236 pints. A total 28 donors also offered their blood but were unable to donate because of physical difficulties. Others joining the Gallon Clulr were: Bonnie L.
