Group Mulls No-Ad Roads WASHINGTON (UPI) Motor ists on the interstate highway system would be assured on some billboard-free driving under tenta tive regulations announced by the Commerce Department. Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks Tuesday announced the billboard standards on the pro posed 40.000 - mile federal - state road network. As unveiled before a Senate Public Works Subcommittee, the federal standards would limit the use of brand names on roadside ads; clump groups of ads togeth er in "informational site" areas off the highway, and ban the use of moving signs. The proposed standards would permit individual billboards "substantially smaller" than pres ent common billboard size for rural advertisers located within 12 miles of the highway. But they would not permit more than one such sign a mile. Weeks, who ran into some road block to the proposals from Sens Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.) and Roman L. Hruska R-Neb.) said the proposed plan would ban all signs trom scenic areas, nisiun chI or directional signs. Weeks said he hoped to be able to spell out the final standards within a week. Weeks said he visualized the states creating the "informatioal sites" similar to rest stops off the Interstate highways in nonulated areas. Travelers would drive off the road into a land scaped area to inspect various ads on billboard "panels" telling them of nearby hotels, theaters, gasoline stations, restaurants, snake farms or whatever.

U.S. Capitol Skating Halts WASHINGTON (UPI)-A small fry roller-skating party found out the fastest way to go through the smooth-surfaced tunnel between the U.S. Capitol and buildings where congressmen have their of fices Isn't by walking. However, a conscientious page boy Tuesday halted the roller-skaters in mid-passage. "Do you know where you are?" the teen-age page boy shouted in dignantly at the three roller-skat-,1ns boys nged 12, 11 and 8. - "Sure,"- the 8-year-old said "Congress." ; "Well, stop that!" the page boy demanded, getting red. "Okay," the 12-year-old prom ised. "But the roller skating here is pretty keen." "1 come here nil the time," the 8-year old confided as they walked away sadly. By KINGSBURY SMITH United Press International PARIS (UPD French Premier Charles de Gaulle has promised that France's overseas territories, excluding Algeria, will have the right to vote for "total inde pendence" in the forthcoming ref erendum on a new constitution. Paul Reynaud. chairman of the Constitutional Consultative Com mittee, told United Press Inter national in an exclusive interview today that De Gaulle has made this promise to him personally. It was my idea, Reynaud said. "I felt it was of capital im portance to France's international position that the people of the overseas territories should be al lowed to ask for total independ ence when they vote on the new constitution. I urged Gen. De Gaulle to agree. He will do so. He told me so. If the inhabitants of French overseas territories are given the opportunity to vote in a national referendum on whether they want complete independence, it will mark an historical milestone in France's relations with her former colonics. Should they ote affirmatively, it is generally agreed in Paris that De Gaulle is the only French po litical leader who could get away with granting them independence, If De Gaulle carries out his promise to Reynaud and the peo ple of the overseas territories should vote for complete inde pendence, those who know the general are convinced he would grant it. There is no doubt, how ever, he would do so with bitter disappointment. He told the consultative commit tee last week he conceived of no other solution for France and what is still left of its empire than a form of association in tegralion or federation." He said anything else would mean "se cession, with all the consequences that it would bring and with the risks and .perils for those who would choose it. His promise to Reynaud would indicate he is prepared to allow the natives to risk those perils if they wish. Reynaud also told this corre spondent he is confident the mod ifications which De Gaulle is ac cepting in the proposed constitu tion will safeguard democracy in trance. The 79-year-old former premier, still remarkably energetic, is act ing as the defender of French par liamentary democracy in his role ns chairman of the Constitutional Consultative Committee. The father of a 4-year-old son as well as three other older chil dren, Reynaud paced his office in the Chamber of Deputies with the vigor of a man at least 20 years younger as he told of the changes he had persuaded Do Gaulle to accept. the original draft of the con stitution contained some provi sions which were dangerous. We were particularly concerned about me lamous Clause Fourteen. That would give the president of the republic. absolute power in certain circumstances. "For example, when the reoub- lican institutions, the nation's in dependence, its territorial integ rity, or the fulfillment of its inter national agreements were threat ened in a grave and immediate manner, the president would have the right to take any measures he considered necessary, after consul tation with the premier and the presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. "1 told Gen. De Gau e I thought these powers were too broad. I cited, for example, the question of France's scheduled participa tion in the European economic community, or common market the end of this year. I said: Suppose France's participation was postponed, would that mean that you would assume all pow ers. 'The general replied: 'Of course not. I intended the assumption of these powers by the president to apply only when the public insti tutions could no longer function.' " Reynaud said he to d De Gaulle he was going to put those assur ances into the form of an amend ment that would make a French president's assumption of absolute power in an emergency dependent upon the approval of a "constitu tional court. This would de termine whether or not the presi dent's proposed actions were in accordance with the constitution. Asked whether the original draft of the constitution contained pro visions that would enable a "bad" president to create a dictatorship, Reynaud replied: Yes. That is just the point. It is not Gen. De Gaulle we are afraid of. He would never, in my opinion, abuse the powers granted him. But I have told him we are not making a constitution for one man." Reynaud revealed he is going to propose to De Gaulle within the next day or so a compromise on the question of the participation of French senators or deputies in the government. The draft consti tution provides a member of the legislative body must resign if he enters the government. I am going to propose. Rey naud said, "that a member of the legislative body who enters the government must take a sort of leave of absence from his par liamentary duties. He will not be obliged to resign, but he will not be allowed to vote while he holds a government post." An important concession which Reynaud feels he has secured from De Gaulle concerns the question of who shall have the right to get rid of a French pre mier once he has assumed office. The original constitutional draft would have given the president the right to dismiss the premier under certain circumstances. "I told Gen. De Gaulle that the committee felt that Parliament only and not the president of the republic should have the right to get rid of a premier. "X" HOOTtAV MOTOR INC. 1 1 lTTj I HEX TJL ft VJ.

Three Month Search For Gift-Giving Con Man Ends I Taylor's I NEW YORK (AP)-A colorful confidence man who once sent golf clubs to Vice President Nixon with a card reading, "Dick, beat the boss," was arrested last night. Seizure of Joseph Levy, 65, at a West Side bus terminal ended a three-month, coast-to-coast search. Levy, who has a habit of send ing gifts to public figures, was on his way to Washington, D. C, when two city patrolmen picked him up and held him for FBI agents. The veteran con artist rarely stays in one city more than two or three days. The FBI had dis tributed 100,000 posters in an ef fort to nab him. The one job Levy has been known to have held was as a male nurse in Rye, N. Y., in 1951. H. G. Foster, special agent in charge of New York FBI head quarters, estimated Levy had bilked his victims out of tens of thousands of dollars in a career that started before World War I. One recent exploit ascribed to the suave and dapper Levy took place in Phoenix, Ariz., where jeweler Harry Rosenzweig accepted an or der for a silver plate engraved To Pat and Dick from Joe. "Joe" paid for the $50 plate with a $150 check. It. bounced. Nixon s office said the plate was returned to Rosenzweig couple of weeks later. Other recipients of his generos ity were said to have included for mer Sen. Herbert Lehman D- NY), who received a set of pipes, and Senators Leverett Salonstall (R-Mass) and Styles Bridges (R NH). The golf clubs, accompanied by the note alluding to Eisenhower's penchant for golf, were sent to Nixon in March 1953. The FBI noted the "public offi cials all promptly returned gifts sent to them. Levy has been arrested at least 26 times, the FBI said. The last time was in the spring of 1953 when he was seized at the $50 win dow at Churchill Downs race track, Louisville, Ky. Levy is charged with violating the terms of his conditional re lease last April from the federal prison in Atlanta, where he had served five years of a sentence for probation violation and trans porting stolen property across state lines. The FBI said that beginning in Chicago early last May, Levy vis ited Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, among other cities, name-dropping and check-writing all the way. AMERICAN BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday Sarvlcu -11 e.m. Mailo Room Alumant Jr. Hlfk sM lih etk Powell Buries Opponent For Harlem Demo Nod ONE KEY IS ENOUGH MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD-One key to a city is apparently all that cowboy star Roy Rogers can handle at one time. The actor who is honorary mayor of his home town of Chats worth, Calif. asked Milwaukee Mayor Frank Zeidler in a letter not to give him a key to Mil waukee when he arrives today to perform at the Wisconsin State Fair. NEW YORK (API Rep. Adami Clayton Powell Jr. buried his op ponent in an avalanche of votes today to win the Democratic re nomination for his Harlem con gressional seat despite the oppo sition of powerful Tammany Hall. The 49-year-old Negro congress man, seeking an eighth term in the House, easily defeated Earl Brown, a Negro city councilman and an assistant editor of Life magazine, in yesterday's primary election. Returns from all 143 election districts gave Powell 14,837 votes to Brown's 4,935. The victory assured that Powell will be on both the Democratic and Republican ballots in November. He was the unopposed GOP desig nee. Brown, 55, once again will be Powell's opponent running on the Liberal party ticket, where he was unopposed. Barring unusual developments, Powell seemed a good bet to de feat Brown in November and re turn to Congress, where he has been the self-proclaimed champi on of the American Negro and of the people of Harlem in particular Harlem is about 8 per cent Ne gro, with much of the rest Puerto Rican. Powell won, however, even in a section of Harlem that was heavily Italian and Puerto Rican. Powell said the area is a "powerful Tam many district run by Carmine De- Sapios leader, Frank Rosetti DeSapio is New York secretary of state and the Tammany Hall leader. The victory was a blow to De Sapio and the fortunes of Tam many, which backed Powell s pre vious seven successful bids for Congress but turned against him this time. As soon as Powell's victory be came known, DeSapio pledged Tammany Hall's support of him as the Democratic nominee at the Nov. 4 election. Powell issued a victory state ment at the hall of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, of which he is pastor. "This is not the end. This is the beginning," he said. "Tomorrow we go to work on 1959. We are going to drive bossism and Un cle Toms' out of Harlem." The Tammany leaders said they dropped Powell because he sup ported President Eisenhower in the 1956 campaign. Powell said he supported Eisenhower because the Democrats took too weak a stand on civil rights. Powell is awaiting trial on charges of federal income tax eva sion, and the outcome could be one factor in the fall election. His indictment played little part, how ever, in the primary campaign ing. Both candidates campaigned mainly on racial Issues. Powell called Brown a "hand-picked Un cle Tom" a Negro considered subservient to whites. Brown re plied that Powell's vaunted civil rights advocacy was mostly talk. Brown, like Powell, opposes seg regation but has not been as vocif erous about it. Selection of candidates for gov ernor and U.S. senator will come later this month at state party conventions. Another antiorganization candi date in New York winning a not able victory was John V. Lindsay, who defeated Elliot Goodwin, in the 17th or "Silk Stocking" con gressional district. They competed for the seat of GOP Rep. Frederic Coudert, who is retiring. In western New York, Daniel A Reed, veteran U.S. representative from Dunkirk, soundly defeated Richard G. King, a Jamestown businessman, virtually assuring himself a 21st term in the heavily Republican area. Hit-Run Driver Given Reprieve KANSAS CITY (AP)-Ebenezer Dunlap, 76, was crossing the street last night on his way to a restaurant when he was struck by a car. The driver didn't stop and nei ther did Dunlap. He picked him self up and went to dinner. A witness called police. Dunlap said he had only scratched knee and didn't want medical treatment. Police found the car. Its owner, Delaney Gross, told police his son Henry, 19, had been driving it Henry admitted striking Dunlap, officers said. But Dunlap refused to prose cute. "I've lived my life and I want this boy to live his, he told po lice. Henry was released. 5? W n GARY J. PRICE, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence L.
