Civil Rights Section
All Races, Kennedy
By YVONNE FRANKl.lv

Bureau
Washington-Attorney Gen
eral Robert Kennedy assured
Western Senators last week
during Sen
ate Commerce
C o m m i ttee
hearings o n
the public ac
commodations section of the
civil rights
bill that it
would outlaw
discrimination
Fr.nklU, against Jap.
anese, Chinese, Mexican and
Indian citizens, and other per
sons of color as well as
Negroes, in places that cater
to the general public.
"There is a lot of discrim
ination in these United States
every day that doesn't neces
sarily always pertain to
Negroes," said Chairman War
ren G. Magnuson of Washing
ton State. He pointed out that
the West has its problems of
discrimination against Indians
and Orientals, particularly.
He mentioned as one example
a state law in Washington
which forbids a Japanese
from holding property in fee.
When Magnuson asken Ken
nedy if the administration's
civil rights bill would pro
hibit discrimination against
these minorities in public ac
commodations such as hotels
and restaurants, Kennedy said
it would. The bill does not
cover private clubs.

By BENNETT CERF-
JIMMY DURANTE recalls the night his father first sav
hint acting behind the footlights. Jimmy rushed offstagi
to ask his father, standing in the wings, "Well, Pop, how't
ya like my work? The
lather, whose name, inci
dentally, was Bartolomco
Durante, answered cau
tiously, "Lissen, boy, let's
not get in an argument."
At the wedding reception
of a town beauty and the
champion of the local golf
club, the bride created a
mild sensation recently
when she appeared sudden
ly at the top of the stairs
and threw the groom's set
of new matched clubs into
the outstretched arms of
the euests below. At last
reports, the groom hadn't gotten, them back either!
Reluctantly, Mrs. Miller allowed her friend, Mrs. Jones, to take
her to a new doctor in town. While the two ladies were in the
waiting room, a man who was ahead of them got a sudden cramp
In his leg, and when his name was called by the nurse, he limped
badly as he crossed into the doctor's inner offfice.
A few minutes later he emerged briskly and sailed out of the
front door in fine fettle. "You see?" gloated Mrs. Jones. "Didn't
X tell you he was the best doctor in this part of the country?"

fornia noted that "in Los Ang
eles we have the largest Mex
ican city outside Mexico City,
and in San Francisco the larg
est Chinese community out
side the Far East, and we, too,
have a great many Indians."
He called Los Angeles the
"third most segregated city in
the United States."
Pertinerh Question
Engle then raised a pertin
ent question, because all the
Pacific Coast states already
have laws on the books pro
hibiting discrimination in
public accommodations, pub
lic and private housing and in
employment.
"Where do we go from
here?" he asked Kennedy,
when we still have segre
gated housing, education and
employment . , . where we
have the law, and yet the
law somehow hasn't got the
job done?"
Kennedy took a long time
in his reply, tracing back to
some of the roots of the prob
lem, which he said would be
with us a long time. Educa
tion for employment seemed
to be the key solution sug
gested by him.
"I don t think the passage
of this law is going to get the
job done," Kennedy said. "I
think a lot of it goes back to
education, vocational train
ing and employment bas
ically to employment."
He said it didn t do a col
ored person much good to
have access to hotels and
other places if he didn't have

enough money to feed his
children.
He pointed to the eight mil
lion Americans, mostly non
white, with less than a fifth
grade education, those so
called "functional illiterates"
who can't deal with the writ
ten word in employment ap
plications and want-ads.
On Million Jobless Youth
He stressed that there were
now one million jobless youth
between the ages of 16 and
22 who have dropped out of
school, and he said the antici
pated increase was some
seven million over the next
ten years of uneducated, idle
youth.
Kennedy also listed a few
sins of the North and West,
"i think there has been a
great deal of hypocrisy among
us from the worm as 10 hie
Cnnth " h said. "We have
many problems in our own
communities which haven't
been faced up to.
"We spend so much time
looking at what Bull Connor
is doing in Birmingham that
, haven't bothered to take
the steps that deal with the
problems in our own com
munities . . .
"A lot rests with what we
nrp emne to do Wltn tne

there will be greater oppor
tiinitv for them, whether we
will have a program for them

to make sure they stay in
school. -
"It is extremely important
that we make it possible for
vocational education train
ing," Kennedy continued.
"There are going to be
oh tnhs over the Deriod
of the next decade, but there
are not going to be jobs for
people who are uneducated
and untrained."
Engle asked what the pro
posed ban on discrimination
in n ii h I i c accommodations
would do in states which al
ready have state laws to this
effect. Kennedy expiainea
that if the Justice Department
received a complaint, he
would defer to state officials
tn take enforcement action un
der their own state laws.

Goldwafer Decision
Claimed Necessary
Washington-IUPIV-Sen. John
G. Tower (R-Tex.) a leading
supporter of Sen. Barry Gold
water, doubts that the Ari
zona conservative can win the
GOP presidential nomination
solely by a draft movement.
"He 11 have to announce his
decision one way or the
other by the first primary,"
Tower said Sunday.
Tower said New York Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller's chance
for the nomination have been
damaged by his divorce and
remarriage. But, Tower said
the "back Barry" movement
was gaining momentum be
fore Rocekefeller married the
former Mrs. Margaretta (Hap
py) Murphy.
If Goldwatcr does not win
the nomination, Tower said
he would urge him to remain
in the Senate rather than ac
cept the vice presidential
nomination.

Problems of Capital Living
Noted by Wife of Congressman
Bv MARIJANE DUNCAN
Washington, D. C.-Recapitu-
lating our experience in mov
ing from Oregon to Washing
ton, D.C. I realize that we-or
at least I-had only a vague
idea of what to expect.
One thinks of the Capital as
synonomus with excitement,
great events, and glamour. It
is easy to picture beforehand
the Capitol dome, the Wash
ington Monument, perhaps the
cherry blossoms; and there's
the extent of the concept of
most Americans who have
never visited Washington. We
have culled our notions from
picture postcards and travel
ogues. So it is surprising and some
what disappointing to find
that this .is, after all, a city
much like other cities. I can
only compare it with those I
have seen, and I find Wash
ington, particularly with the
arrival of spring and summer.
more beautiful on the whole
than Midwestern cities, some
what less than those in the
West. It is imposing at its
very center, starkly ugly just
beyond, and lovely in its many
natural park areas. It is very
much like Portland, Ore., in
its suburbs.
Phenomenal Growth
Washington's growth is
phenomenal and change is
everywhere. Whole blocks in
the District have been razed
to make way for urban re
newal projects. New commu
nities are constantly springing
up on the outskirts of Wash
ington in the Maryland and
Virginia suburbs.
There are projects and plans
for restoring some of the old
er residential areas, such as
the Capitol Hill area. Much
has already been done by in
dividuals and many of the re
stored old houses are show-
places. Georgetown is the out
standing example of what can
be done by individuals to re
store and renovate a run-down
area. But this is very expen
sive ''urban renewal."
Depressing Areas
One must drive past block
after depressing block of dil
apidated brick houses to get
from the Capital Mall to any
other part of the city. Though
some low-cost housing has
been built as slum areas are
cleared, most of the renovated
or new housing is in the middle-to-upper
income brackets.
Displaced families mostly
move into other rundown
areas further crowding them.
Negro families, especially, are
limited by income and "un
written laws" as to where they
can live. Of course all cities
hae depressed neighbor
hoods; it is just that one ex
pects the capital, against all
reason, to be different.
On the other hand, there is,
throughout the District, an
abundance of parks and park
like areas. One can start a few
blocks from the capitol and
drive over well-kept parkways j
through wooded and unspoiled
lands, nearly all the way to
Silver Springs where we live,
over 10 miles away. And there
are many beautiful trees and
shrubs right downtown.
Actually, the contrasts are
so great as to be startling.
Driving through the parks and
suburbs one is sure here is the
most beautiful city in the
country. But one must emerge
eventually.
Beauty To Spread
If the city planners realize
their dreams, Washington's
beauty will spread and encom
pass a greater and greater
area. But, then, what of the

The Literary Qualities
Bad Posture Claimed
vxuumiiiuiiui. Tor uooa
By DICK WEST
Washington -NPll- At the
last meeting of our neighbor
hood literacy society we had
an interesting
discussion on
the qualities
that a person
needs to be
come a suc
cessful writer.
Some said the
most impor
tant quality is
the ability to
compose long
murky paragraphs that invoke
the atmosphere of an apart
ment hallway at eventide
when one of the tenants is
cooking cabbage.
Others said the most im
portant quality is to have a
friend on the selection com
mittee of a book club.
Stil lathers said the most
important quality is an en
cyclopedic grasp of four-letter
words.
Surprisingly enough, no
body except me mentioned
poor posture as a necessary
qualification for a literary
career. This leads me to be
lieve that the importance of
bad posture has never been
adequately explained.
I'll concede that my ob
servations have been gen-

erally limited to the jour
nalistic branch of literature,
but the fact is that I have
never known a first rale
writer who had good pos
ture. By the process of inductive
reasoning a conclusion can
therefore be drawn that their
success is due at least in part
to bad posture.
This is something that the
journalist schools and crea
tive writing courses appar
ently have been neglecting.
Which is a pity.
Not everyone can have a
friend on a book club selec
tion board, but almost any
one can, with proper instruc
tion and dcligent practice, de
velop poor posture.
There is a sound physiologi
cal basis for arguing that bad
posture is a vital force in lit
erature. Most composition
nowadays is done on a type
writer, and it has been scien
tifically established that when
a person sits down at a type
writer his thoughts rush to
his feet.

them from returning to the

When I am at my type
writer, I try to overcome the
natural inertia of thought
waves by drawing my knees
up under my chin in an ap
proximation of the fetal po
sition. This lessens the dis
tance that the thought waves
must travel vertically and
provides a sinuous path from
the feet to the brain.
Other newspapermen I
know seek the same results
of slumping into the chair
and extending the legs as far
under the desk as possible.
This forms a horizontal plane
over which thought waves
can flow with relatively little
gravitational resistance.
Actually, thought waves
move most freely when the
body is supine, but I don't
recommend that. It gives passers-by
the impression that the
writer is taking a nap.
