Rep. Green Blasts Hatfield's Appeal for Full Support of Civil Rights Legislation
By YVONNE FRANKLIN
Mail Tribune Washington
Bureau
WASHINGTON - Gov. Mark
Hatfield last week sent tele
grams to all Oregon House mem
bers urging them to support civil
rights legislation. The men look
the Governor's advice with
calm, but he collected an almost
uncivil right to the chin from
the lady lawmaker from Port
land. Hatfield wired the Congress
men: "Trust you will give full sup
port to overriding any blocks to
pending civil rights legislation.
Recall my meeting at the re
quest of President Kennedy last
summer at the White House in
which several governors were
given details of his desire in this
field, I pledged my support to
him at that time on behalf of
the people of Oregon and I re
iterate it now when maneuver
ing appears at this distance to
dim chances of passage."
Rep. Edith Green showed her
wrathy side by replying:
Discharge Petition
"The wisest way to House pas
sage is by means of a discharge
petition. A Democrat, Rep.
(Richard) Boiling, filed required
notice to the House that a dis
charge petition will be em
ployed. A Democrat, Rep. (Em
anuel) Cellar, plans to actually
file the discharge petition on
Monday, Dec. 9.
"An impressive number of
Democrats, more than 100, have
indicated they would sign the
petition. An unimpressive num
ber of Republicans, perhaps six
to 10, said they will sign. An
impressive number of Republi
cans indicate they will not sign.
"The Republican House lead
ership has said it will not sup
port discharge petition proce
dure. Rep. (Charles) Halleck,
the Republican Minority Leader
in the House, reiterated this po
sition today after a meeting
with President Johnson.
"I suggest that your lobbying
is desperately n c c d e d n o t
among Democrats, but among
your fellow Republicans. If we
can have the full support of even
60 Republicans, the bill can and
will be passed.
She did close with regards.
Rep. Walter Norblad, Oregon's
only Republican in Congress,
said he did not like discharge
petitions and would not sign at
present. But he pledged that if
Rep. Howard Smith, Rules Com

rights bill, "then I will take
another look at it." The Demo
crats are expected to sign.

This is another in series of out-door patio-type crypts. This beautiful mausoleum

investigation will be prolitable.
or girl friend dancing you must
also go lo a restaurant, some
of which feature small dance
bands. But all the restaurants
and a handful of cafes close
their doors at approximately
11:30 p.m.
So around midnight if you're
looking for a nightcap its either
back to your hotel, apartment
or the "Am'crkansky" Club.
The latter is located in a di
lapidated building a mile from
the U. S. Embassy on the banks
nf the Moscow River. The huild-
inR belongs lo the American
Embassy and houses 22 Embas
sy personnel, mainly bachelors
but with a few married men
without dependents. The club is
operated on a self - supporting
basis by (he ' Amorkansky
Dnm" (American House).
The American Club is open
four nights a week, most nights
until 1 a.m. and on Saturday
until 3. It has a dance floor,
juke box (only one in Moscow)
tables and a bar where drinks
arc 50 kopecks (about 50 cents).
You must pay in rubles.
The. club is open to all West
ern diplomats and correspond
ents but not to Russians even
on a guest basis. II is the only
place in Moscow, except for the
smaller British Embassy Club
(open 3 times a week until mid
night) where you can order a
scotch, gin or bourbon.
One of the most popular pas
limes at the American Club Is
twisting, something you won't
see anywhere else in Moscow
because this country frowns on
the dance as "vulgar."
In a few years, taking a look
at the Kremlin may become as
standard for touring Americans
and other Westerners as say,
ganiug at Dig Ben in London.
With Ihis year's tourist season
ending, the American Embassy
reports that up to Sept. 1. 2,300
American tourists registered
wilh the Embassy in Moscow.
U.S. officials estimate the ac
tual total as 4.500-ahout the
same as last year's since not
all tourists register. One of the
most popular attractions is Len
in's tomb.
Last summer favored tourists
as well as natives. It was the
warmest and sunniest in about
20 years. The sun shone almost
daily from the middle of June.
Now the nip is coming into the
air and the first fur hats are
beginning to he seen.

NSTANT STICKTOITIV1NESS
for people who keep slipping up on saving
If you're long on planning to save money, and short
on following through, here's an idea that's tailor
made for you: The Payroll Savings Plan.
It starts you saving instantly. Doesn't cost you a
nickel's worth of will power. And it can give you
thousands of dollars in savings before you know it.
The idea of the plan is cunningly simple: ynu don't
save your money, you put somebody else up to it.
Your employer.
Every payday you have him set aside a small
amount from your pay and put it toward the pur
chase of a U. S. Savings Bond. You don't see the
money that's being saved, so you hardly miss it.
And since your employer's not as apt to forget about
saving your nest egg builds up fast.
Millions of Americans use the Payroll Savings
Tlan to save money, so you know it works. The
money you save this way helps your country, too,
by giving Uncle Sam financial strength to stand up
to the enemies of freedom.
Why not say the word to your paymaster and get
started saving this payday ? Your new perseverance
will amaze your friends, your family and yourself.
Quick lads about Series E Savings Bonds'
You get $4 for evarjr J.1 at maturity
You can get your money when you need it
t Your Bnnrla are re
plareH free if lost,
destroyed or stolen
You can hur Bonds
where you hank, or
