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.

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. I
