Congressional Leaders
Hear Civil Rights Plan
No Immediate
Concensus Given
On Proposals
Kennedy Asks
No Commitments
Washington ftfPIV- President
Kennedy laid his urgent new
civil rights program before
congressional leaders of both
parties today but apparently
won no immediate consensus
on his proposals.
One participant said the
President's program, which is
not expected to go to Congress
before next week, will put
weight behind school deseg
regation, equal public accom
modations and easier voting
requirements - but not a fair
employment practices pro
posal. '
"FEPC is definitely out,"
this member told a reporter.
Key Republicans, whose
support is vital if Congress is
to approve the President's
still-tentative new legislative
proposals, planned a news
conference later today to dis
cuss their position.
The White House meeting
lasted an hour and 40 minutes
and was another in a series
of sessions the President has
been holding both with legis
lative leaders and top officials
in business and other fields.
No Promisei Asked
A Democratic source said
no comi'ments were sought
by the President and no con
sensus was reached.
- Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield (Mont.) told
reporters the White House
conference reviewed the
President's civil rights pro
gram in "general terms."
. He said the President's pro
gram "possibly" will go . to
Congress next week, but there
were indications there might
be some further delay to per
mit wider consultations with
community and business lead
ers. "It's better to be a little
more solid and take a little
more time, than just to rush
in," Mansfield said.
The Democratic leader said
he would hope local and state
authorities would "do what
they could to meet their own
responsibilities" in the cur
rent racial crisis, which he
said is a national problem.
He said the GOP leaders
were included in today's meet
ing so they could be "in on
the 'takeoff (of the civil
rights program), so to speak."
Medford Receives
Achievement Award
Medford has been awarded
an outstanding achievement
certificate by the National
Safety council for accomplish
ments in traffic engineering
during 1962, according to an
announcement from the coun
cil's national headquarters in
Chicago, 111.
This is the second consecu
tive year that Medford has
been awarded the certificate.
News of the award was re
ceived by Mayor James Dun
levy recently in a congratu
latory telegram from Howard
Pyle, president of the Nation
al Safety council.
Three other cities and the
state of Oregon also were
cited by the council for
achievements in traffic safety
last year. They were among
181 municipalities, 29 states
and Puerto Rico receiving the
awards.

Theft of Ski Pants

Judge Gus Solomon Wednes
day sentenced Albert L. Jones,
63-year-old Milwaukie long
shoreman, to 60 days in jail
on a charge of stealing a pair

been led by Evers In months
of integration demonstrations
were called on Wednesday
night to start a mokth of
black armband mourning,
fasting and abolition of all
downtown shopping.
Demonstrators Arrested
Following the slaying,
which President Kennedy
called an "act of barbarity,"
160 Negroes were arrested
during spontaneous marches
in this tense capital city.
There were sporadic incidents
of violence including the
stoning of a police car Wed-.
nesday night in the Negro sec
tion. The vehicle was dam
aged but there were no in
juries or arrests.
Evers, field secretary for
the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People in Mississippi, was cut
down at the age of 37 early
Wednesday by a single bul
let from a .30 caliber rifle.
Evers apparently had some
premonition that he might
pay with his life for his mili
tant civil rights stand in the
Deep South .
Widow Speaks At Rally
His grieving widow and
mother of his three small chil
dren told a tearful memorial
rally Wednesday night that
her husband talked with her
briefly Sunday night, saying
that if he had to die he would
rather be killed in the midst
of a fight for his people "than
to sleep away to. death. 1
don't want his death to be in
vain," Mrs. Evers said from
the pulpit of a church crowd
ed with more than -900 Ne
groes. "That would be as big
a blow as his death."
Evers was shot at close
range as he walked from his
car to his neat one-story home
following a civil rights rally.
The bullet pierced his body,
entered the house where his
wife and children were await
ing his return and richochet
ed off a refrigerator. The bul
let was found on a kitchen table.
NLMA Indignant'
Over Refusal of
Lumber Marking
Fear of Ruffling
Relations Noted
Washington - (lit - The Na
tional Lumber Manufacturers
Association said today it was
indignant about a senate
committee's pigeonholing a
proposal to require lumber
imports from Canada to be
marked as to country of
origin.
The trade association said
it understood the proposal
was sidetracked for fear of
ruffling U.S.-Canadian rela
tions.
The measure, a keystone in
the drive to reduce Canada's
$280 million a year softwood
lumber sales in the United
States, had been offered as
an amendment to a House
passed bill dealing with mark
ing other imported articles.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee Wednesday ordered the
bill reported to the Senate
floor without the amend
ment. Through Canadian Glasses
"Were indignant," an
NLMA spokesman said. "We
are rather distressed at those
members of Congress who
continue to see the problems
of American lumber men
through Canadian glasses."
ben. Len B. Jordan (R-Ida-
ho), who sponsored the
amendment, said the proposal
was not dead because it was
embodied in other legislation
before Congress. He said the
lumber-marking requirement
might actually fare better on
its own than as a rider to
the bill that was reported
Wednesday.
The NLMA said it was
still committed io the Drin-
ciple of restricting Canadian
imports to a reasonable per
centage of U.S. consumption."
Easier To Enforce Policiet
The marking reauirem e n t
would have made it easier to
enforce "buy American" doII-
cies in lumber purchases. It
also was a foundation for pro
posals to require U.S. lumber
to be used in any construction
financed with loans guaran
teed under federal programs,
Among other lumber mea
sures before Congress is a bill
that would restrict imported
softwood lumber to 6 per cent
or u.b. consumption. , '
