NAACP Leader Sees Strengthening of Civil Rights Laws By Congressional Quarterly i strengthening the Civil Rights wasnmgion- Clarence Mil- act. chell, legislative director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today predicted Con gress would strengthen the Civil Rights act next year He said "the only cloud on the horizon" was the apparent intention of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D.-Tex.) to stave off attempts to change the 1957 act until the President's Commission on Civil Rights submits its re port. The commission is sched uled to submit its report next September. The primary goal of the NAACP is to strengthen the act by giving the U.S. Attor ney General power to take preventive action in all civil rights cases. This provision was in the civil rights bill passed by the House in 1957 The Senate narrowed the pro vision to cover only voting rights. The Senate version prevailed Mitchell bases his optimism on the election returns, school closing and the dynamiting of schools and churches in the South. He said there was an "excellent" chance of getting the Senate in 1959 to give the Attorney General more civil rights power. As or the House, he termed it "a good situation made somewhat bet ter." Vot Breakdown The Senate in 1957 voted 52-38 (D-34-13; R-18-25) to eliminate a House provision giving the Attorney General broad preventive powers in the civil rights field. Through the Nov. 4 elections, civil rights forces apparently gain ed six votes over 1957. The potential six-vote gain in the Senate came from the replacement of George W. Malone (R.-Nev.) by Howard W. Cannon (D); H. Alexander Smith (R.-N.J.) by Harrison A. Williams (D); John W. Bricker (R.-Ohio) by Stephen M. Young (D); Ralph E. Flan ders (R.-Vt.) by Winston L. Prouty (R); Joseph R. McCar thy (R.-Wis.) by William Prox mire (D), and Frank A. Bar rett (R. Wyo.) by Gale McGee D). All of the replaced Sena tors except McCarthy voted to limit the Attorney General's new powers to the voting field. McCarthy died before the vote was taken. Civil rights forces consider the six replacements of those Sena tors as gains. The probable six-vote gain would change the 1957 break down to 49-47. So if the lib eral civil rights forces win over the two Alaskan Sena tors to be elected Nov. 25, numerically they would have at least a 50-50 chance of Mitchell claimed that sev eral Senators voted to confine the Attorney General's pow ers to the voting field in the belief additional authority was not necessary. He said the school closings and dynamit- ings furnish proof that the added powers are necessary, This, he said, promises to bring more votes into the civil rights camp. House Voting The House in 1957 did not vote directly on narrowing the new powers of the Attor ney General. However, it did vote on a motion by Richard H. Poff (R.-Va.) to guarantee jury trials for all contempt of court cases arising from the Civil Rights act. Opponents claimed the Poff amendment amounted to giv ing Southern juries a license to flaunt the U.S. Attorney General. They said the juries could refuse to convict people brought to trial for' disobey ing court orders obtained by the Attorney General in his efforts to prevent civil rights violations. The House defeated th Poff motion by a vote of 158- 251. The Nov. 4 elections made this comfortable margin even wider. It appears' that the switches in House seats re sulted in a net gain of about a dozen seats for those push ing to broaden the civil rights power of the Attorney Gen eral.

TTJ IV II I you; r insurance nanxnaent AGENT Only an Independent Agent Can Display This Seal SEE Eisenhower To Confer With Head Of Space Agency Washington (UPD Presi dent Eisenhower was to con fer today with the head of the new national space agen cy on means of financing U.S. scientific progress to the moon and beyond. The President and Dr. T. Keith Glennan, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, planned to discuss the NASA's share of the federal budget for the coming year. -Favored Treatment Seen The administration is striv ing to cut all possible corners, even in the area of national defense, to hold down antici pated budget deficits. But the space agency is likely to get more favored treatment than other government depart ments. As a beginning, the recent Congress authorized expendi ture of $47,800,000 for new facilities for NASA. The budget talk came on the heels of a claim by the head of the Cape Canaveral, Fla., missile test center that this country now has the abil ity to send an animal into outer space and bring it back alive. Air Force Maj. Gen. Donald N. Yates said Sunday that this country can match Russia's reported successes in sending dogs and other animals into space and back. He noted that Army, Navy and Air Force al ready have fired missiles con taining mice and other small creatures. But Yates said It would be "several years" before Amer ican space scientists will be able to send a man to the moon and return him to earth. He said he is "extremely well pleased" with the pro gress of this country's mis sile program, which at one time was considered to be lagging far behind the Russians. Milk Inspection Service Approved Salem Medford's muni cipal milk inspection service has been approved by the state department of agricul ture as meeting grade A milk standards set by Oregon law. Dairy Specialist Vergil N. Simmons, who made this year's survey suggested the Medford inspection service make more frequent follow- up inspections on marginal dairies. He said quarterly in spections are not adequate in all cases and also advised that inspections of milk plants should be made m both pro cessing and non-processing periods. Simmons said the office's sampling and inspection rec ords were in order and J. D. Patterson, state chemist, ap proved the laboratory . and testing procedures. Simmons inspected both of Medford's raw milk retail dairies, all three of the milk pasteurization plants and 21 of the 50 raw milk dairies sell ing to pasteurization plants. The state department of ag riculture surveys the city systems at least once a year. O. K. Beals, chief of the de partment's division of foods and dairies, and Kenneth . Carl, assistant chief in charge of dairy law enforcement, su pervise the program. Mansfield Says Democrats Not To Bullwhip Dulles Washington (UPD Assist ant Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said today his party has no intention of using a foreign policy review to make a public whipping boy of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. "We'll meet Dulles on the issues," the Montana Demo crat said, "but we'll try to be as responsible in our critic isms as we have in the past." Wants Closer Liaison Mansfield, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a U. S. dele gate to the current United Nations General assembly, said he hoped for "closer li aison in the future" between the administration and for eign policy - leaders in con gress. But he emphasized that the Foreign Relations commit tee will not use . its broad study of foreign policy, now underway, to continually crit icize Dulles as the Republi cans raked former Secretary of State Dean Acheson in the Truman administration. "We don't operate that way," Mansfield told a reporter. More Cooperation Needed Mansfield said he felt there is still a need for more "flex ibility and cooperation" be tween the executive and leg islative . branches on foreign , policy. He praised as a step in that direction the Admin istration's action in naming Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.), to represent this nation in UN outer space talks and in con ferences with Mexican president-elect Alfonso Lopez Ma-teos. The Montana Democrat said he was having no part of de mands by some Democrats, no tably Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D- Pa.), that Dulles resign. He said Dulles is only the representative of President Eisenhower who has constitu tional responsibility for the conduct of foreign policy.
