Federally Aided Housing
Presidential Order
Bans Discrimination
By STERLING F. GREEN
Of the Associated Press
WASHINGTON President
Kennedy's order banning racial
discrimination in federally
owned and aided housing was
termed Wednesday a sizable
"first, bite" which may be
broadened later.
Kennedy made good a I960
campaign pledge by announcing
at his news conference Tuesday
night that builders and mort
gage lenders who bar Negroes
won't get federal financial
backing.
Effect Estimated
The order will affect about
50 per cent of all future sub
urban home building, officials
estimated, and a. substantial
Policy 'Prevented Disaster
Kennedy Removes
News Restrictions
WASHINGTON (UPD Presi
dent Kennedy Tuesday lifted
the voluntary censorship placed
on military information during
the Cuban crisis. He said his
recent information polices might
have prevented a disaster.
Much of the President's news
conference Tuesday night was
devoted to the government's
handling of information during
the Cuban crisis, and new infor
mation policies in the state and
defense departments.
Kennedy said it would have
been "possibly disastrous" if
news of the Russian buildup in
Cuba had "dribbled out" pre
maturely. Restraints Necessary
And during the days follow
ing the announcement of the
missile threat, he said, restraints
on information were necessary
to have the government "speak
with one voice."
He said the 12 points "that
we made to the press in regard
to voluntary restraints on the
movements of troops and so on"
No Race Bar
At Clemson,
Official Says
ANDERSON, S.C. (UPD The
president of Clemson College
told a federal court Tuesday the
admissions policy of the state-
supported institution presents
no barrier to Negro applicants.
Robert C. Edwards testified
during the second day of a hear
ing on a suit by Harvey Gantt,
19, a Negro, charging that he
was denied enrollment in Clem
jon solely because of his race.
Clemson attorneys said they
expected to complete their case
Wednesday. Oral arguments are
not expected from either party.
Federal Judge C.C. Wyche
said the main issue in the case
was whether Gantt's application
was handled ditferently because
he is a Negro.
Edwards said Clemson fol
lowed its admissions policy,
which includes no statement or
intention to bar anyone because
of race, to the letter in han
dling Gantt's request for trans
fer from Iowa State University.
There exists in South Caro
lina a state law which would
close Clemson as well as the
state's Negro college should
Gantt win his suit. But Edwards
insisted that as far as he and
other college officials were con
cerned the Charleston, S. C,
youth was just another appli
cant.
The reason Gantt has not
been admitted, he said, was his
failure to be interviewed by
members of the architectural
school and submit a portfolio of
his architectural design work
from Iowa State.
Harland McClure, dean of the
architectural school, was- asked
whether Gantt was qualified to
enter the school.
"As far as his transcript and
grades are concerned, yes," he
answered. "But we still need his
portfolio and an interview with
him."

Hemorrhoids Cured Painlessly
By Non-Surgical Method
The non-surgical, electronic
method for treatment of Hem
orrhoids (Piles) developed by
doctors of the Beal-Oliver
Sandy Blvd. Clinic has been so
successful and permanent in
nature that the following pol
icy is offered their patients:
"After all symptoms of Hem
orrhoids ... have subsided and
the patient has been dis
charged, if he should ever have
recurrence, all further treat
part around 20 to 25 per cent
of homes and apartments
built within city limits.
But it was far less sweeping
than many administration aides
had urged, and seemed certain
to provoke outcries of disap
pointment from some civil
rights groups and Negro or
ganizations which have been
pushing Kennedy for action.
However; there was no criti
cism from the Congress of
Racial Equality. Its national di
rector, James Farmer, said in
New York: "The federal gov
ernment has at last recognized
that it has a prime responsibil
ity in ending discrimination in
housing. It is a first step."
Sen. A. Willis, Robertson, D
Va., charged that the order
would be lifted immediately.
These restrictions covered
such matters as details on num
bers or movements of U.S.
forces, any discussion, of plans
for use of those forces, location
of aircraft, intelligence esti
mates of enemy plans or capa
bilities and the lake.
Kennedy said "I have no apol
ogies for keeping secret the
developments leading up to the
imposition of the arms mockade
developments which included
increased aerial surveillance to
confirm the present of nuclear
missiles in Cuba threatening
the United States.
, Needs Differ
Kennedy also said "there will
be a change, I think, in the
State Department policy direc
tive" requiring all officials to
make reports on their conversa
tions with newsmen.
He indicated no change in a
similar directive at the Defense
Department. "The need" at the
State Department, he said, "is
somewhat different from what
it is in the Defense Depart
ment.
The Defense Department, he
said, deals with "very sensitive
intelligence and the methods by
which that intelligence is re
ceived."
He said his only interest in
establishing such policies was
to prevent release of military
information "extremely mimi
cal" to the national interest. He
indicated he was mainly con
cerned with the possible leak
age of intelligence information.
Favors Talks
As for areas not involved
with intelligence, Kennedy said,
"I would be delighted" to talk
with Assistant Defense Secre
tary Arthur Sylvester, who is
sued the order, "and with rep
resentatives of the press and
see if we can get this straight
ened out so that there is a free
flow of news to which the press
is entitled.
On other subjects, Kennedy
said:
The Democrats did better
than expected in the congres
sional elections, but he is afraid
the situation in the House may
be about the same as it was in
the 87th Congress in other
words, hard going for much of
his legislative program.
There is no Indication now
that the apparent difficulty be
tween Red China and Russia
"is helpful or harmful" to us.
A better appraisal might be
made during the next month
he said.
The United States "is in
terested" in Brazil's proposal
that nuclear arms and vehicles
to deliver them be banned in
all of South America.

"will hurt real estate values all
over the nation not just in
the South."
"I don't think there is any
constitutional authority for the
order," said Robertson, who
heads the Senate Banking Com
mittee. Forecasts Questioned
Before the order was issued
the National Assn. of Home
Builders issued a survey indi
cating that builders across the
country expected it to cause a
sharp decline in home building,
which has been a shaky seg
ment of the economy most of
this year. .
But Kennedy said he believed
such forecasts were exagger
ated. Housing officials said resi
dential construction has not suf
fered significantly in any of the
17 states and more than 20
cities which have their own
anti-bias laws.
The White House order de
clares it to be the government's
policy to assure equal housing
opportunities "without regard
to race, creed, color or national
origin." But it carries no en
forcement machinery to prevent
discrimination in conventional
home sales those in which the
mortgage is not backed up by
federal insurance or guarantees.
Further Action Eyed
Housing officials said further
action may be taken. For the
present it seemed wise, they
said, to "go at it as prudently
and sensibly as possible" while
acquiring experience and legal
precedent,
Even the announcement was
played down, to the extent pos
sible on a nationwide television
and radio broadcast. Kennedy
tucked in five sentences on
housing following his blockbus
ter announcement that the So
viet Union will take home its
jet bombers from Cuba and the
United States will lift its naval
arms blockade.
The President said his order
directs all federal agencies to
"take all action necessary and
appropriate to prevent discrimi
nation because of race, color,
creed or national origin" in the
sale, lease, rental and use of
housing which is:
Owned or operated by the
federal government.
Built or bought with the
help of loans, grants or contri
butions made hereafter by the
federal government. This would
include GI home loans made by
the Veterans Administration.
Built or purchased with
mortgages backed by the Fed
eral Housing Administration,
guaranteed by the Veterans Ad
ministration or otherwise backed
by the security of the govern
ment. Erected in federally aided
development and redevelopment
projects for slum clearance and
urban renewal.
Thus the order covers the fed
eral programs for college hous
ing, housing for the elderly,
housing for the families of mili
tary personnel built under the
Capehart Act, and the thou
sands of dwellings taken over
by FHA because of the default
of buyers.
But it provides no sanctions
against discrimination in the
sale or rental of existing hous
ing, even the which was built
with federal help, except for an
instruction to the housing agen
cies to "use their good offices
and to take other appropriate
action permitted by law."
Republican Predicts
Intra-Party Clash
WASHINGTON (UPD Sen. Ja
cob K. Javits, R-N.Y., has "little
doubt" that the 1964 Republican
presidential convention would
produce a clash between back
ers of New York Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller and Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
Javits told a news conference
Tuesday that liberal-conservative
battles have occurred at
most recent GOP presidential
nominating conventions and "I
think we can expect no less" in
1964.

Shift Posts
SALEM (UPD The Oregon
Highway Commission Tuesday
appointed Roderick L. Porter,
56, Salem, as deputy state high
way engineer, effective Dec. 1.
He will be the Oregon High
way Department's number two
man, just under State Highway
Engineer Forrest Cooper.
Porter, who has been an as
sistant highway engineer for the
past year, succeeds G. S. Fax
son, 69, who is retiring.
Porter s job as assistant will
be filled by Lloyd P. Shaw, met
ropolitan engineer for the State
Highway Department in Port
land. Fred B. Klaboe, Salem an as
sistant construction engineer,
was promoted to Shaw's job in
Portland.
Still another part of the shake-
up caused by Paxson's retire
ment is the appointment of Gil-
more L. Decker, Salem, a field
construction engineer, who will
take Klaboe a old job.
Porter, an Oregon State grad
uate, worked for Portland Gen
eral Electric Co. and the U.S.
Bureau of Public Roads before
joining the Highway Depart
ment here in 1933. His previous
positions in the department in
clude office engineer and right-of-way
engineer.
Paxson, a nationally recog
nized authority on highway and
bridge building, has been with
the department since 1919. He
became assistant highway engi
neer in 1953 and deputy a year
ago.
The shakeup in personnel also
resulted in the promotion of
two department employes in
Roseburg. J. F. Putnam, assist
ant division engineer for south
west Oregon, moves to Salem
to take Decker's job as field
construction engineer. John H.
Quiner, resident bridge engineer
for southwest Oregon, will take
over Putnam's post in Roseburg.

SALEM W The State Tax
Commission said Wednesday it
had distributed returns of the
Eastern Oregon timber sever
ance tax collected for the first
quarter of the 1962-63 fiscal

to the counties. It distributed
$74,761 for the first quarter. In
addition, the commission said,
$10,000 went into the adminis
trative fund and $18,691 went
into the reserve account.
The total amount collected
was $103,452.

In finding that the agreement
did not violate the National La

said the pact "was intended to
discourage, and did discourage
the series of unauthorized work
stoppages which experience had
shown to pose a continuing
threat to the publishers."
"Thus the agreement was, in

Suit Settled
Misprinted
Stamps Go
Back on Sale
WASHINGTON W The sale
of deliberately misprinted Dag
Hammarskjold postage stamps
has been resumed following an
out-of-court settlement suit
which halted the sale for sev
eral days.
The Post Office Department
said Tuesday that Leonard Sher
man, an Irvington, N.J., collec
tor who had 50 of the original
accidentally misprinted stamps,
had dropped his federal court
suit.
Sale of the deliberate mis
prints began immediately with
about 600,000 in stock.
Postal officials said that in
exchange for withdrawal of the
suit, Sherman had received a
postal inspector's sworn state
ment that Sherman has 50 of
the original Hammarskjold mis
prints. The idea is to maintain
some part of the value of those
particular stamps for collectors.
At least 400 of the 120 mil
lion four-cent stamps honoring
the late secretary-general of the
United Nations had been printed
with an inverted yellow plate,
leaving a white stripe down one
side.
Sherman had valued his un
broken 50-stamp pane at about
$500,000 on the stamp collecting
market. But that was beforo
the department announced it
would print thousands of the
inverts and sell them in an
effort to deflate the value of
the original misprints.
About 375,000 of the delib
erate misprints had been sold
in less than four hours last Fri
day when Sherman obtained a
restraining order in Newark
from the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals.
