Bitter Congressional Fight Looms
Over Tough Civil Rights Program
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi
dent Kennedy's tough new civil
rights program touched off in
Congress today what promised to
be one of the bitterest legislative
battles in decades.
Not even the staunchest back
ers of the President's many
pronged approach to the boiling
race crisis believed Congress
would buy it anywhere near in
tact. At first glance, some of the
proposals he sent the House and
Senate Wednesday appeared like
ly to be passed after only per
functory polishing. Others, includ
ing some of the key items, looked
as if they would be chewed to
pieces.

Lookout Mountain Road junction
for oiling this Saturday and Sun

Then, on the weekend of June
29 and 30, the section of the road
from the end of the county pave
ment to the Lower Lookout Moun
tain Road Junction will be closed
for oiling. Access to the district
then will be limited to the Pan

rights leaders" to meet with him
Saturday. Included were the Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr., and Roy
Wilkins, head of the National As

as an effort by Kennedy to urge

Negro community to halt demon
strations that lead to violence.
Kennedy conferred at the White
House Wednesday with 250 lead

provide better schooling without
racial barriers.. Participants said

gram with every means at their
disposal.
Southerners were so angry they
threatened not only a filibuster
but use of their long-held com
miltee chairmanships to bottle up
the rest of Kennedy's legislative
program.
Although the President painted
the nation's civil rights needs
with a fairly broad brush, inter
est was focused on a handful of
specific requests.
First among these was Kenne
dy's call for a new law to forbid
racial discrimination in hotels,
stores, theaters, restaurants and
other places of "public accom
modation." This seemed sure to
furnish the principal battleground
for the 19G3 civil rutins tignt.
Willi differing details, the pub
lie accommodations measure had
bipartisan support and a fairly
good chance of House passage.
But it did not have top-level
GOP backing in the Senate and
its fate there in the face of a
certain southern filibuster was
considered doubtful.
Another more familiar civil
rights measure with a dim future
was a Fair Employment rrac
ticcs Commission (FEPC). A
House labor subcommittee Wed
ncsday approved such a bill, dc
signed to outlaw job discrimina
tion in private business.
Had Committee Backing
The bill had substantial bipar
tisan backing .In the committee.
but odds against its final enact
ment are prohibitive, mis mcas
ure is to be considered separate
ly from Ihe rest of the admini
stratum's civil rights package.

Sblons Rap Editorializing
By U.S. Radio, TV Stations
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Con
gressional feeling against radio
and television editorializing broke
into the open today with an
nouncement of an investigation of
the practice starting July 15.
The hearings, to be conducted
by a House subcommittee, are
expected to last for about a week.
Politicians and broadcasters
will testify. Government officials
probably will be called too.
Washington Hangs
Convicted Slayer
WALLA WALLA (UPD-Joseph
Chester Self, 31, was hanged early
today for the murder of a Seattle
taxi driver three years ago.
A direct line from Warden Bob
Rhay's office to the execution
chamber was held open until the
end for a call from Gov. Albert
D. Rosellini that never came.
Rosellini had announced at 10:52
p.m. Wednesday that he would
not commute Ihe death sentence.
Self was executed for the slay
ing of Ralph J. Gemmill Jr.,
Seattle taxicab driver, during a
robbery in 1960. Self was the 74th
man to be hanged by the state.
Self ended his lonely death row
stay by spending his final hours
with Father George McCabe, Ro
man Catholic chaplain at the pris
on. Self had embraced that faith
during his stay on death row and
died clutching a rosary in his
hand.
Speaking in a hushed voice be
fore he mounted the gallows, Self
said only, "Ask me if I've said
my prayers, warden."
About 15 pickets protesting the
execution maintained a vigil out
side the prison walls until the ex
ecution. Rhay said it was the first
time in his memory that pickets
had protested at the prison during
an execution.

I The Federal Communications
! Commission (FCC) in recent
! years has been encouraging sta
J lions to editorialize on the ground
! that it could elevate the quality
; of programming.
But apparently many politicians
especially those in office are
upset at what they feel it an
abuse of the privilege.
During debate in the House
Wednesday on a related matter,
several members denounced
broadcast editorializing. The crit
icism was intense at times.
Rep. John Bennett, R-Mich.,
said "(here are broadcasters who
criticize one party and defend
another, who criticize one candi
date and defend another, all un
der the guise of editorializing."
Rep. Harley Staggers, D-W.Va.,''
spoke of the "unfair tactics" o(
broadcasters, who he said al
lowed attacks on an office holder
but did not allow him free time
to reply.
During the debate Commerce
Committee Chairman Oren Har
ris, D-Ark., said one of his sub
committees would start hearings
on the subject July 15.
Rep. Walter Rogers, D-Tex.,
chairman of the subcommittee,
said he has received at least 20
complaints from congressmen of
both parties.
Under the FCC's "general fair
ness" doctrine, broadcasters are
supposed to seek out comment
from both sides of controversial
issues. In addition, the so-called
"equal time" rule requires that
all political candidates be af
forded equal broadcast time.
Rogers said there was a "gray
area" as to the legrj application
of these two rules. ;ls indicated
that Ihe subcommittee will look
into this.
The basis for Wednesday com
ment on the floor was the House's
debate and passage of a measure
to suspend the "equal time" rule
for the 1964 presidential and vice
presidential campaigns. A similar
waiver in 1960 permitted the four
televised Kenncdy-Nixon debates. '
