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.

pressed one of the most intensive

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.

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

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

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.
