Others, including some of the key Items, looked as if they would be chewed to pieces. At Congress ' dug In for (he legislative battle, the House announced that the President had invited 30 Ne gro and white "civil rights leaders" to meet with him Saturday. Included were the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Roy Wilkins, head of the National Association for Ad vancement of Colored People (NAACP). The Saturday session was seen as an effort by Kennedy to urge moderation on inte grationist leaders while Con gress considers his legislation; In his message Wednesday the President urged the Negro community to halt demorutra tions that lead to violence. Kennedy conferred at the White House Wednesday with 2S0 leading educators. He asked 'them to set up a com mittee that would work at the grass roots level to pro vide better schooling without racial barriers. Participants said there seemed to be gen eral agreement to his request. Produces Strong Reaction In Congress the initial re action to the President's pro posals was predictably strong. Southerners and some con servatives accused the Presi dent of Riving In to mob rule and pledged to fight his pro- Burgess Retires From Forest Service ' Portland - Thomas H.

Southerners were so angry they threatened not only a filibuster but use ' of their long held committee chair manships to bottle up the rest of Kennedy's legislative program. Although the President painted the nation's civil rights needs with a fairly broad brush, interest was fo cused on a handful of specific requests. First among these was Ken nedy's call for a new law to forbid racial discrimination in hotels, stores, theaters, restau rants and other places of "pub lic accommodation." This seemed sure to furnish the principal battleground for the 1963 civil rights fight. With differing details, the public accommodations meas ure had bipartisan support and a fairly good chance of House passage. But it did not have top-level COP backing in the Senate and its fate there in the face of a certain southern filibuster was con sidered doubtful. Another more familiar civil rights measure with a dim future was a Fair Employment Practices commission (FEPC). A House labor subcommittee Wednesday approved such a bill, designed to outlaw job discrimination in private busi ness. Had Committee Backing The bill had substantial bi partisan backing in the com- Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1963 Stocks Fail To Pull Out of Lethargy; Trading Is Quiet New York - IUPD - Stocks failed to pull out of their leth argy early today, moving nar rowly mixed in quiet trading.

This measure is to be considered separately from the rest of the administra tion's civil rights package. ' There seemed to be less fire centered on other provisions of the President's program. which was introduced as legis lation by administration back ers in both houses. The proposal to let the Jus tice Department Initiate school desegregation suits - which was dropped from earlier rights bills as too hot to han dle - was given a good chance to pass. , Another key section of the big bill-actually requested earlier Uiis year would con tinue the six-year process of trying to assure Negro vot ing rights. This would .be done through controls on the use of literacy tests and expe diting court tests of voting suits. This was too tough to get through last session,, but its difficulties now pale in comparison to the public ac commodations and FEPC pro posals. A second entirely new pro posal would give government officials the option of either paying or withholding fed eral aid to states which prac tice racial discrimination in carrying out federally assist ed welfare, education and other programs. Denounced By Southerners Kennedy asked this as a substitute for a flat cutoff of federal funds in cases of dis crimination. Southern critics immediately denounced it as a totalitarian plan. , Other provisions of the main bill would set up a "community relations serv ice" to seek peaceful solutions to racial disputes, extend the life of the Civil Rights com mission for four years beyond Sept. 30, give permanent sta tus to the Equal Employment Opportunities commission to fight discrimination in fed eral agencies and by govern ment contractors, and provide "technical assistance" to school districts which need help in desegregating class- rooms. All of these requests are controversial and the Presi dent can get none of them without a fight. But with the battle joined on such a broad front, it appeared likely he would win on some. The House Judiciary com mittee was expected to start hearings on the main bill next week. Chairman Eman uel Celler (D-N.Y.) was aim ing to produce a bill, hopeful ly with bipartisan backing, by late July. SHIP IT USEE to w fnm Oakland, Saa Fr cisc.

Denver Man at Medford Meeting The $12 billion business of advertising is threatened by increasing governmental regu lations and intercference, Lee Fondren, Denver, Colo., radio executive said in an address here Wednesday noon. Speaking before the newly organized Southern Oregon Advertising club at the Col ony restaurant, Fondren warned that the Industry which can sell almost 7 mil lion new au'.cTK'biles in a sin gle year is facing Increasing restrictions because the people of the U. S. are accepting the "big brother ' thinking in fed cm I and state government. Federal subsidies to slates which prohibit outdoor post ers along certain highways, I and vicious and all-embracing I bits o( legislation passed to ! cripple the entire industry j such as the Baltimore city tux on all advertising, were cited by the speaker. The economic impact of governmental interference, if 1 successful, would be tremen dous, according to Gronden. For each dollar spent in ad vertising, the government re alizes $7 in taxes on the sale ; of the products advertised by ; that dollar. Lee Fronden. a former pres ident of the Advertising As- ! soclation of the West and man ager of station KLZ in Don- ( ver, stressed the fact that those engaged in the business of advertising should tell the truth about their profession, tell what its function is in our society and why the whole I country will suffer from the ! present wave of restrictive ; legislation against legitimate advertising. Officers for th newly formed advertising club here I will be selected at th next ' meeting of th group. ...A 43 6.Vi Wednesday's vrlcea on .elected stocks: Allied Chemical 8H, Aium o Am 7 American Air Lines 2Mb American Inn 4H', American Motora 10 A T A T 122i American Tobacco 29' B Anaconda Copper .....
