EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Monday. April 1. 1963 Pise 3A Primary Date Passes House SALEM l The House passed Monday and sent to the Senate a bill to change the primary election date from the third Friday in May to the fourth Tuesday in May. Rep. Phil Lang, D-Portland, said the bill would result in a larger vote turnout. He said many people now go to the beach on Fridays, while others are busy shopping on Fridays. And he said Tuesday should be the traditional day for elec- 1 lions, as it already is for gen- Registration Tests Given ToNeg roes GREENWOOD, Miss. Wt Ne Crops in sr -all groups returned to the courthouse to register to vote here Monday while others in another part of the city lined up for the resumption of a full scale surplus food distribution campaign. Wooden barricades were down on the street fronting the court house of this delta town where Negroes have launched a voter registration drive. Traffic flow ed by normally. Some 25 to 30 Negroes lined up outside the courthouse where they were being admitted one by one to take registration tests. Shortly before noon. Police Chief Curtis Larry, speaking over a loudspeaker told Negroes who had formed a double col umn on a walkway leading into the courthouse to break into smaller groups. They did so. FBI Agents on Scene Police officials had said they would not permit any more mass marches but would allow Negroes to come and go from the courthouse in small groups. For the first time, the FBI was on the scene taking photo graphs of Negroes as they ap proached and left the court house. In Jackson, Gov. Ross Barnett called the registration drive "dangerous to the community as loaded bomb resting in a street in the heart of the city." At a warehouse, county offi cials began giving to a predom inately Negro crowd surplus food commodities shipped in by the U.S. Department of Agricul ture. Program Cut Off The government gives the food to people claiming to be unem ployed or whose salaries are be low a certain level. Last winter, Leflore County officials cut off the program to some 21,000 per sons mostly Negroes but con tinued giving it to 5,000 on wel fare rolls. Negro vote registration lead ers charged the action came in retaliation for the vote registra tion drive. County officials said the program was dropped be cause of mismanagement and abuses. Last month, the government said it would resume the- food program itself if the county didn't renew it. County officials then decided to take over the job again themselves. eral elections. Lang also cited instances where election boards took Sat urday off after election, with out completing their count until the following Monday. This, he said, has caused some close con tests to remain in doubt for several days. There also are two bills to change the primary date to Sep tember, but these aren't ex pected to get anyplace. The House Elections Committee al ready has tabled one of them. There were three votes against the bill Monday. They were cast by three Republicans Reps. Victor Atiyeh, Beaver ton; Russell Bonesteele, Salem, and Edward Branchfield, Med form. The House State and Federal Affairs Committee Tuesday tabled a bill to transfer the law enforcing functions of the sher iffs to the state police. It was introduced by Rep. Eugene Hulctt, D-Eugcne, a former state policeman.

First Family Visits Famed Battlefield By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL Or the Auoclated Praia GETTYSBURG, Pa. Presi dent and Mrs. Kennedy took advantage of a balmy Sunday to visit the famed battlefield of Gettysburg where the North threw back tho greatest offen sive of the South a hundred years ago and brought the Civil War to its turning point. Like other tourists they also peered with interest at a certain white brick ind stone residence near the western edge of the battleground the home of for mer President and Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower. The Eisenhowers are vaca tioning In California. The Kennedys, their daugh ter, Caroline, 5, and Undersec retary of the Navy Paul Fay and his wife and children spent the weekend at the presidential hideaway in the Catoctin Moun tains near Thurmont, Md. After Mass, an auto ex pedition got under way for Gettysburg, 25 miles away. Ken nedy took the wheel of the dark blue convertible and piled most of the party into it. Two of the three Fay youngsters trailed along in a station wagon driven by a Secret Service agent. By pre-arrangement stop was made at the edge of the battle field to pick up Jacob N. Shcads, who teaches American history at Gettysburg High School and serves as part-time ranger-historian for tho Nation al Park Service. Shcads climbed Into the front seat with the President and Mrs. Kennedy and guided the tour of the battlefield. They went down the Union linpi along Cemetery Ridge on tht east, and cut across the valley and turned up the Confederate lines on the west. Other tourists were out in force and a lot of them got a wave or nod or word of greeting and even an occasional hand shake from the President. Shcads said afterward "Both the chief executive and tho First Lady were extremely knowledgeable about the bat tle." : "He was interested in the hu man stories and touches," Shcads said, "in what Winston Churchill called the last war between gentlemen." Dressed in a blue blazer and gray slacks, the chief executive hopped out of the car on a few occasions and tho children got out,. scampered across fields and stone fences where a century ago, in July, more men wcro in action and more men died than in any battle on the Norm American continent. Kennedy seemed to bo espe cially interested in tho "Bloody Angle" the only place Pickett'i chargo broke through tho Union lines on the climatic third day of tho battle. Kennedy also saw such other historic spots as Little Round Top, tho southern anchor of the Union lines, tho Devil's Den, the Peach Orchard, tho Wheatfield. the takeoff point of Pickett's charge. Ho wound up at Peace Light, which blaics perpetually from Oak Ridge, one of the scenes of action on the first day of the battle.
