Civil Rights Fight Blocks Housing Bill WASHINGTON, April 20 -(JPy-Ao explosive new row over civil rights embroiled the senate today this time with southern senators calmly sitting back and watching their northern colleagues battle lt out. But the Dixie lawmakers were ready, if necessary, to jump in with their heavies oratorical ar tillery. The clash developed over a move by republican senators Bricker (Ohio) and Cain (Wash) to write an anti-segregation clause into the proposed federal long range housing bill. It delayed a final vote on the legislation. Senators who favor both civil rights and public housing balked at the anti-segregation amend ment. With an eye on the south erners, they said it would prob ably kill the housing bill. The housing program calls for the construction of 810,000 public dwelling units in the next six years.

I Radio Beams Guide Pilots to Salem Runway Radio beams, instead of a green light, began guiding planes onto McNary field Tuesday following installation of radio signaling equipment in the control tower Monday. Previously only the ground light aided planes in landing and take offs. The VFW (very high fre quency) receivers and transmitters are the type used by the larger planes and by many of the small er ones. Stanley W. Dilatush, chief con troller at the CAA tower, remind ed plane operators that planes landing at the field at night are no longer required to pay a fee. Although the new device makes for greater safety on the field it is not to be confused with the non directional landing system which the Air Line Pilots association has demanded be installed here by October 1, Dilatush said. The equipment, called a "hom ing" non-directional landing de vice, keeps planes on a radio beam as they prepare to land even when the pilot is flying blind. The radio equipment installed Monday only directs take-offs and landings of plane which have the field in sight. The non - directional system probably will not be installed here until after the CAA makes a sur vey of the local field and recom mends lt, it was reported.
