Solon Sees House Okay On Rights Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) - Chair' ' man Emanuel Celler (D - N.Y.) predicted today that the House i would approve his House Judici ary Committee's five-point "mod erate" civil rights bill this year, He made no forecast about the Senate. Backers of the measure feared that there might not be time to push the bill through both the House and Senate before Congress adjourns, probably within month. A key factor in the race with time is the House Rules Commit tee, which must give its nod be fore the House can consider the legislation. The committee is headed by Rep. Howard K. Smith (D-Va.l, a civil rights foe, and is dominated by conservatives. Celler promised to use a par liamentary maneuver to try to pry the measures out of the rules committee if the group blocked the bill. Other congressional news: Rickover: Vice Adm. Hyman G. Rickover reports to the Senate House Atomic Committee on Rus sian nuclear projects he saw dur ing his tour of the Soviet Union with Vice President Nixon Rickover, who developed the atomic submarine, will give the appraisal of Russian nuclear en ergy progress behind closed doors.

Rep. Leon H. Gavin iR-Pa.), a subcom mittee member, has charged that the company overstepped the bound of propriety in urging gov ernment acceptance of the Air Force weapon. Highways: The House Public Works Committee met in private to decide what to do about a Ways & Means Committee plan to float a one billion dollar bond Issue and stretch out construction to meet the financial crisis facing the interstate superhighway sys tem. Some members felt the pub lic works group should draft a counter-proposal for a less dras tic construction slow-down and a hike in the federal gasoline tax o( possibly one cent a gallon. my. The first United Fund Drive took place in Detroit. It was the result of the combined thinking of labor and management. It was felt that through this means the community could best be served. Time is saved through careful organization and planning. Time is saved for volunteer workers who were sometimes asked to' collect many' times a year from their fellow workers. Personnel of the agencies involved could work more efficiently when need for planning individual campaigns was taken from their work load. Various agency heads do assist with the drive but it is done in cooperation rather than competi- lon with others. Time is also saved for the individual citizen who is not constantly solicited. More efficient use of funds is thought to result from concerted action of citizens who meet to plan and consider needs of the various agencies. Also, in this manner, the needs of a worthy agency, which may lack popular appeal of other agencies, are best met. I Every effort is made to divide funds to serve the best needs of the area. National agencies, . such ! as the Red Cross, have in many I cases thrown in their lot with the! United Fund, even though their j appeals had been successful oni their own. I In the case of the local United Fund Drive all accounting is nan-' died locally with annual audits; made and records kept on file at. the county courthouse. In this man ner, United Fund backers feel that' best investment of private funds j is made to improve community life for all.
