Avmi (rem lh Courthouse . FRANK MOtGAN - HAI0U) SNODG.ASS, FUNERAL DWICT0RS DAY OS NIGHT PHONE SP 2 -030 Ask Us About the OREGON FUNERAL INSURANCE PLAN which we heartily recornmend anrtendorse It is our privilege to be as silly or as exclusive or as narrow as we like. What I object to is calling this "free dom of choice" or "freedom of association." It is the ex act opposite of these. When a club arbitrarily limits its membership to one Kind of person, it is denying itself freedom, rather than granting it. It is cutting off from possible membership all those who, despite their high personal qualifications, do not have red hair, one leg and a grandmother named Fortes-cue-Fortescue. The members of an exclu sive club actually have voted away their own freedom of choice. No matter how much they may like and respect a man named Steinberg or Shaughnassy, they cannot as sociate with him in the in timacy of a club setting. They might invite an Einstein to talk to the group, but never to join it. This is one reason exclusive clubs are so infern ally dull-sameness inevitably leads to boredom. It is also said by the pro ponents of this archaic sys tem that, after all, it is a "social" club only, and there fore no one is really hurt by not being allowed to join for reasons of ethnic or relig ious differences. But this, too, is a delusion and a hyprocrisy. The city club and the country club are much more . than "social." They are where business asso ciations form and where deals are made. A firm would be mightly reluctant to hire an executive who would not be welcome in the city club or the country club, for this would be an unfair handicap to business success. As I say, we have a right to be as. foolishly "selective" as we like. But we will not be grown up until our selec tivity is on a personal basis. Clubs should be as "aristo cratic" as possible, in terms of seeking the "best," but as democratic as possible in seek ing the best out of the widest possible base of candidates. To do less than this is to make a mockery of the phrase freedom of choice. Minimum Wage Battle Faces Another Round Washington -(UPD- Kennedy Democrats today had the weapon they wanted for their second minimum wage battle with House conservatives. It was a. wage floor bill made in the Senate .but designed in the White House. The Senate easily passed Kennedy's $1.25 minimum wage bill Thursday, 65-28. Next week, a Senate-House conference will seek common ground between it and a $1.15 measure put through the Hbuse last month by a Republican-Southern Democratic co alition. . Something From Each' The compromise was ex- pected to be close to a whit-tled-down administration bill that the House conservative bloc killed by one vote March 24 as it gave Kennedy ' his first legislative drubbing. The Senate and House bills now differ in almost every respect. The probable compro mise proposal would take something from each, but favors the Kennedy-approved measure.

(UPI Telephoto) Missile News Blackout Ordered Washington - (UPD - The De fense Department, which is under increasing criticism for restrictions on information, has ordered a blackout on news concerning missile tests. Its unannounced action came to light today in the wake of protests by the Freedom of Information Committee of the American Society of Newspaper Editors about bar riers to news-gathering in the defense and state depart ments. There have been mounting complaints from newsmen about difficulties in gathering information on a gamut of defense matters, ranging from broad policy actions down to picayune details. The influential Army, Navy, Air Force Journal commented today that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and As sistant Secretary Arthur Syl vester "are striving to in crease the amount of informa tion which they believe should be withheld from the public." It said they are doing so "surely with full White House support." The Pentagon attitude is ! that "newsmen should not ! write stories about official matters that are still in the discussion stage," the Journal said.

Alabama Victim Said Not Missing California Youth Montgomery. Ala.- (UPD - An unidentified young man killed while hitchhiking in Alabama March 27 was not a youngster who disappeared from his California home March 21, ao cording to Alabama investi gators. The nameless youth was killed in an automobile acci dent near Centrevllle after he had been picked up by three motorists. When , efforts to identify the victim failed, the people of Bibb county held an elaborate funeral for the boy. Engraved on the tombstone were the words: "Unknown, killed in an automobile acci dent March 27, 1961.". One week before the acci dent, Randall Cobb, 13, dis appeared from his home in Daly City. His general de scription and age matched that of Alabama's unknown boy. . . The California boy's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cobb, said their boy had braces on his teeth and a her nia scar. The chance that the Ala bama victim may have been Randall was ruled out Thurs day by Lt. Willy B. Painter of the Alabama Public Safety department's invest igative branch. He said the accident victim had "perfect teeth and no her nia scar."
