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. (Copyright 1958,

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.
