Federal Cabinet Officials Argue Civil Rights WASHINGTON' (UPI) - Two Cabinet members went to Capitol Kill today to argue in favor of President Kennedy's civil rights program. One was Secretary of State Dean Rusk, whose department is trying to make it easier for non white American and Asian diplo mats to get service in hotels and restaurants in the United States. Rusk was summoned to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee, which is debating the administration's proposed ban on discrimination in public accom modations, including hotels and restaurants. Rusk has said U.S. 'racial conflicts hurt America deeply at home and abroad. Anthony Celebrezze, secretary of health, education and welfare, went before a House judiciary subcommittee, which is reviewing parts of the full civil rights package. A House education subcommit tee, meanwhile, hoped to vote on a bill withholding federal funds from any segregated school dis trict not implementing integration plans by 1965. Other congressional news: Navy officials faced questioning by a House armed service sub committee on Soviet trawlers that pass close to the East Coast. Some congressmen say the serv ices may be too slow in checking for possible espionage. Ag.nti: Father-and-son execu tives of i New York public rela tions firm were called by the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee to explain their work in behalf of Nationalist China and South African interests. They are Hamilton Wright Sr., president, and Hamilton Jr., executive vice president, of Hamilton Wright Or ganization, Inc. House Rules Croup Due New Lineup WASHINGTON (UPI) House liberals, with a lot of sad experi ence to reflect on, viewed the prospective new lineup of the House Rules Committee today with a certain amount of misgiv inc. Conservatives weren't out cele brating, either. Under plans all but formally announced by House leaders, Rep. John Young, D-Tex., will re place Rep. Homer Thornberry, D- Tex., as a member of the pro administration bloc that frequent ly has been able to prevail on the crucial committee by no bet ter than 8 to 7. President Kennedy Tuesday nominated Thornberry as a fed eral judge for the Western Dis trict of Texas. In so doing, he rewarded Thornberry for past support, but at the same lime created a further problem for himself in the closely divided rules group. The rules committee normally decides whether bills recommend ed by other committees are routed on to the House for a vote. Its yes or no can mean life or death for controversial bills. Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., let it be known he had picked another Texan to fill Thornberry's crucial rules seat, and word was passed among members that Young was the man. In selecting Young, McCor mack obviously acted in the be lief Young could be counted on in a pinch to support the leader ship even in the face of adverse local interest. Thornberry, though he some times voted against the adminis tration both in the committee and on the House floor, was a close friend of the late Speaker Sam Rayburn and became a trusted leadership lieutenant in the cru cial rules spot. Some liberals pointed to Young's mixed record of admin istration support heretofore and wondered whether JlcCormack had made the right choice. Conservatives, who saw their long domination of the commit tee shattered when the group in 1961 was enlarged from 12 mem bers to 15, figured that McCor mack knew what he was doing. Their assumption was that he had exacted a pledge of support from Young. nil ' Sxfffl CONTESTANTS in the Miss Universe Pageant, to be held in Miami Beach later this month, jazz things up in the small town of Bamberg, S.

Lee traced the bumper guard to a Thompkinsville garage, where the owner and two employes de scribed the man who bought it. Their description tallied with the girl's memory of one of the men. In the years that followed, Lee checked out 18 suspects. He talked to each of them personally. His search took him through Ken tucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio.

"After 18 years a half-job just would not do," Lee said. - The Tennessee au t h o r i 1 1 e s swore out a warrant and Jones was arrested. He was charged with being the driver of the car which killed Newt Lee. Jones' neighbors were stunned by the arrest. They said he was,, "friendly. . .kind. . wouldn't hurt a fly." Indianapolis police said Jones had taken threo lie tests and each showed "discrepancies." Jones himself, described by an attorney as illiterate, kept his si- hit lence.

The policy, approved by resolu tion of the City Council this week, emphasizes permanent-type street improvements but provides a pro cedure by which residents may apply dust oil under certain cir cumstances. The council got into the street surfacing problem recently after protests were made in connection with home owners applying objec tionable types of oil on unimproved residential streets to control dust. Provisions of the policy are to: 1. Encourage asphaltic-concrete paving. 2. Encourage "two-shot" asphalt oil when asphaltic-concrete paving is not feasible. 3. Permit approved types of dust control on unpaved streets. Permit Needed The city's new policy is support ed by an ordinance (adopted at the June 24 council meeting) which gives the administration control over public street surfacing and provides penalties for violations. It prohibits any person from making improvements to the street witnout first securing a permit from the Department of Public Works, work undertaken by private individuals is subject to inspection. The policy specifies dust control products which can and cannot be used. Approved types of diescl oil, fuel oil, sulphide liquor, calcium chloride and crankcase oil. Use of oils known as PS 300, PS 400 and bunker "C" oil is prohibited. Dust oiling is permitted, however, only under the following circum stances: 1. When a petition has been re ceived for asphaltic-concrete pav ing (but there is no time to per form the work within the current construction season.) 2. When economic circumstances Famed Singers Part Company ' ins ANT.F.l.KS MIPll The breakup of one of the most suc cessful recording teams in enter tainment history was disclosed Tuesday when singer Mary Ford filed a suit for separate mainten ance against Lcs Paul. The couple, one of the first to use the system of recording the singer's voice several times on a single record lo achieve a har monic effect, were married Dec. 29. 1949. Several of their records, including "How High the Moon" and "Vaya Con Dios" sold more than a million copies. Miss Ford charged cruelty and asserted her husband, known for his distinctive guitar arrange ments and as a bandleader, re fused to support her. She also said he is out of the state and has their son, Robert, 3, with him. The singer asked appointment of receiver to prevent Paul from concealing community prop erty.

Tax Plan Defeat May Affect Many College Students PORTLAND (UPI)-Many Ore gon students may find college and university doors closed to them if the 1903 legislature's tax program is referred to the voters and de feated this fall, the State Board of Education said Tuesday. ine Doara meeting here said in resolution it would not permit any additional reduction in the quality of the system's education al standards. "The program approved by the legislature will provide only min imum funds of higher educa tion," the resolution read. "There fore the board is determined to admit only that number of stu dents that it can serve ade quately." Although the b o k r d strongly favors passage of the tax bill as submitted by the Legislature, it deleted from its resolution the part urging "all citizens of this state to refuse to sign petitions for tax measure referral and to vote in favor of the tax program if a special election is called." Board members George Lay man and Elizabeth Johnson ques tioned the propriety of a state agency advising persons how to vote and insisted on the deletion. In other action, the board unan imously re elected William Walsh, Coos Bay, as chairman for 1963- 64. Vice chairman William Hollo- way, Jr., Portland, and executive committee member J. W. Forrest er, Pendleton, also we r e reelected. of the neighborhood appear to make more expensive types of paving not feasible. 3. When other circumstances make this type of control the only practical solution. Complete Job Best An asphaltic-concrete improve ment the type which the city is attempting to encourage consists of a complete paving job with two inches of hot mix asphaltic con crete, together with excavation, base and surface rock, concrete curb, gutters and drainage. Ap proximate cost is $650 per lot, us ually financed by assessment district proceedings providing for payment over a 10-year period. The city contributes the engineer ing, drainage and other miscellane ous costs. In the "two-shot" oiling proce dure, a hot asphalt oil is sprayed on a prepared base of rock, cov ered with additional rock and roll ed. The operation is repeated a month later. This creates a surface approximately a quarter-inch thick, lasting from three to seven years. Approximate cost with all prop erty owners contributing is $55 ner lot. The work is financed by residents depositing the total cost with the city. Aslphalt oiling is per mitted only if it appears that as phallic concrete paving is not prob able within the next tnree years, Dillard Firm Gets Umpqua Tree Tract Paul B. Hull Lumber Co. of Dil lard paid the appraised price to claim a tract of Umpqua National Forest timber 40 milos northeast of Tiller Monday.
