"I'm sure that we will have

King told reporters.
He said that moratorium on
demonstrations which leaders of

King, head of the Southern

King told newsmen that "As
a Southerner I am very happy
to know that a fellow Southerner
is in the White House who is
concerned about civil rights.
The President was described
by King as being "desirous of
seeing the civil rights bill out

Democratic Leaders
Will Launch Drive
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Spoak-er
John W. McCormack an
nounced today that an effort
will be launched Monday to pry
the civil rights bill out of the
House Rules Committee and
bring it to a vote on the floor.
McCormack said following a
meeting of Democratic congres

Johnson that "as far as the
leadership of the House is con
cerned every effort will be
made" to force the measure out
of the committee. Rules Chair
man Howard W. Smith, D-Va.,
has made it clear he will try
to keep it bottled up.
Talking with newsmen at the
White House, the speaker said
a petition to discharge the bill
from the Rules unit would be
filed Monday by Chairman
Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y., of the
House Judiciary Committee.
Celler's group has approve dthe
legislation but Smith's commit
tee, which filters legislation to

on it.

However, Smith Monday
night threw cold water on

Republican congressional lead
ers to press for action on the
legislation as a testimonial to
the late President Kennedy who
also had made it a key priority
item.
Smilh said he did nol believe
action should be dictated by
"the present state of hysteria.
McCormack and otner House
leaders wasted no lime prepar

SALEM (UPI) - The strains of Auld
Lang Syne in the House, and sounds of ap
plause in the Senate at 5:45 p.m. Monday
marked the end of the 22-day special session
of the legislature.
Lawmakers seemingly welcomed final ad

stunned and deeply moved by the assassina

One hour after the final gavel sounded,
not one legislator was left in the House and
Senate chambers. 1
Janitors were already sweeping up while
custodial workers packed lawmakers' books
and records in boxes.
The first special session since 1957 was
called by Gov. Mark Hatfield after the Oct.
15 tax revolt when the legislature's $60 mil
lion tax increase package was struck down.
Hatfield asked lawmakers to approve
budget reductions, a $12 million cut in basic
school support, and to enact a $12 million
tax collection speedup.
Lawmakers quickly deall with the fiscal
crisis.
Then Hatfield revealed the three-year-old
project lo develop a space age industrial

probably occurred about 5 a.m.,
William B. Brewster, principal
of the school, reported.
The furnace had apparently
gone on automatically, as usual
at 4:30 a.m., Brewster said.
There was an overflow of oil
from the inside, for whal reason
officials had not determined
this morning. This formed a
puddle of oil in front of the fur
nace and the resulting blaze
apparently damaged Ihe fur
nace controls. No other damage
resulted from the explosion, ac
cording to the early check of
the building.
The first bus load of primary
children arrives at Jewett
school at 7:55 a.m. and the last
load about 8:30 a.m. After all
pupils had arrived, dismissal
plans were made and by 10
a.m. all children had been re

said.
This project necessitated con

A nearly party - line partisan political

Partisan differences vanished.

There was still party bickering over the

"The committee feels, as

The bill ratifies Boeing's lease
on the northeastern Oregon land
and turns the project over to

Agency, which will use profits
trom its loan tund to clear title

The first payments will be

While the Senate was consid

was 30 yes and 29 no, one short

passage.
"Men and women of vision
