In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS At a breakfast meeting in Wash ington yesterday with about 160 GOP congressmen, Former Presi dent Eisenhower offered this opinion: "Anybody who would spend 40 billion dollars race to the ir.?on for national prestige Is NUTS.-' He drew sustained applause from the congressmen present at tlie breakfast. There was no report, at the moment, from out in the sticks. But most of us have confidence enough in the common sense of the average American to believe that a lot of taxpay- crs patted their hands together in enthusiastic applause and let go with the American equivalent ot BllAVO! Prestige is a wonderful thing, but the average citizen can't pay his taxes with it. Even the scientists are not in complete agreement with the present fantastically costly space program. At a panel discussion in Wash ington the other day, Dr. Poly karp Kusch, head of the Colum bia University physics depart ment, who shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 1955, said flatly he could think of many great na- lional needs that far outweigh the needs tor space exploration on the "urgent schedule now accord ed it." In the course of the panel dis cussions, Dr. Philip Abclson, w ho participated in the production of the first atom bomb, protested Mat manned space Might, par ticularly to the moon, has been getting over-emphasis. When our great-grandparents wanted to go down town to do their shopping, they had to go out to the barn, harness the horse, hitch it to the buggy, drive slowly to the business district, find a hitching post, do their shopping, drive home, unhitch the horse, put it in the barn and unharness it. When they needed water, they picked up a bucket and went to the well, which was some d i s tance away, pumped up the wa ter and carried it back to the kitchen. To do their cooking, they built a fire in the range, going out to tiie wood house for their fuel. When washday came, they did their washing on a board and carried it out in the back yard and hung it on the line. When tliey wanted fried chick en, they ran the chicken down, scalded it in hot water, plucked off the feathers, cut it up and fried it on the hot stove. And so on. It all took a lot of time. But Back in those days, everybody had PLENTY of leisure. Now NOBODY HAS ANY TIME. Explain it if you can. And- Back in those days, a trip over Into the next county to visit Aunt Hattie was a big event Now we're all talking about go ing to the moon. It's a strange world we're liv ing in.

A price of more than $22 WO was placed on the head of 'he sniper. Detectives worked around the clock on several leads including Civil Rights Outlook Bad Truman Says WASHINGTON lUPD Former President Harry S. Truman predicted today the civil rights problem "will grow more serious until it's settled." Truman, who came here to at tend a reunion dinner tonight of his senatorial war investigating committee, said he planned to see President Kennedy, presumably to discuss civil rights and other matters. In his usual chipper mood, Tru man made the remarks during an early morning walk with news men and television cameramen in downtown Washington. Truman took occasion to attack Republicans on the civil rights question. He said the Republicans have been willing to "profit" by civil rights but "have never done anything on civil rights. Asked what he thought about the possibility of the South going Republican in tne ism elections, Truman replied "We 'the Demo crats' can live without the South. We did once before." On his arrival, Truman said the killer of Negro leader Medgar Evers "will undoubtedly be caught and be hanged, as he should be." He said the shooting was ''a very sorrowful thing to happen." As for the over-all civil rights situation, he said "we will come out all right on this because we're f on the right track A newsman mentioned reports that Negro leaders have indicated they will stage demonstrations and possibly sit-ins at Capitol Hill tins summer if they arc dissatis fied with the progress of the civil rights legislation. Truman said this would be "perfectly silly." "If they are foolish enough to do anything like that, it will turn those who have always been (or them against them. If that's what tliev want, let 'em go ahead," I Truman snapped. Kit it 5." --i, r. 9tt Price Ten Cents 28 Pages a "good" fingerprint from the ap parent murder weapon. Mourning Negroes who had been led by Evers in months of integration demonstrations were called on Wednesday night to start a month of black armband mourning, fasting and abolition of all downtown shopping. Demonstrators Arrested Following the slaying, which President Kennedy called an "act of barbarity." 160 Negroes were arrested during spontaneous marches in this tense capital city. There were sporadic incidents of violence, including the stoning of police car Wednesday night in the .Negro section. The vehicle was damaged but there were no injuries or arrests. Evers, field secretary for the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People (NAACPi in Mississippi, was cut down at the age of 37 early Wednesday by a single bullet from a .30 caliber sporting rifle. Evers apparently had some JFK Lays Racial Plan Before Party Leaders WASHINGTON 'UPIl - Presi dent Kennedy laid his urgent new civil rights program before con gressional leaders of both parties today but apparently won no im mediate consensus on his pro posals. One participant said the Presi dent's program, which is not ex pected to go to Congress before next week, will put weight behind school desegregation, equal public accommodations and easier vot ing requirements but not a fair employment practices proposal. "FEPC is definitely out," this member told a reporter. Key Republicans, whose sup port is vital if Congress is to ap prove the President's still-tentative new legislative proposals, planned a news conference later today to discuss their position. The White House meeting lasted an hour and 40 minutes and was another in a scries of sessions the President has been holding both with legislative leaders andconferred on the racial problem top officials in business and other fields. A Democratic source said no commitments were sought by the President and no consensus was reached. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., told reporters the White House conference re viewed the President's civil rights program in "general terms."

Widow Speaks At Rally His grieving widow and mother of his three small children told a tearful memorial rally Wednes day night that her husband talked with her briefly Sunday night, saying that if he had to die he would rather be killed in the midst of a fight for his people "than to sleep away" to death. "I don't want his death to be vain," Mrs. Evers said from the pulpit of a church crowded with more than 900 Negroes. That would be as big a blow as his death." Evers was shot at close range as he walked from his car to his neat one-story home following a civil rights rally. The bullet pierced his body, entered the house where his wife and chil dren were awaiting his return and ricocheted off a refrigera tor. The bullet was found on a kitchen table. gross next week, but there were indications there might be some further delay to permit wider con-l suitations, with community . and business leaders, f. "It's better to be a little more solid and take a little more time, than just to rush in," Manslield said. The Democratic leader said he would hope local and slate au thorities would "do what they could to meet their own respon sibilities" in the current racial crisis, wmcn ne said is a national problem. He said the GOP leaders were included in today's meeting so they could be "in on the Take off (of the civil rights program , so to speak."
