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.

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

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

is pretty keen."
"1 come here nil the time," the
8-year old confided as they walked
away sadly.

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.

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.

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.
