Memory Course Offered To American Diplomats HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Oregon Tuesday, June 25, 193 PAGE WASHINGTON 1UPI1 US diplomats are now being offered a course in mnemonics, which means training the memory. It may help solve that ultimata crisis of diplomacy for example, forgetting the name of the Nawab ot lajpur at an official function The first, introductory session of a 10-lesson course for State Department and U.S. information! Agency employes was given in the State Department Auditorium Monday night. The session was conducted by r.. L. irosson, an attorney in the Civil Rights Bill Okay Anticipated WASHINGTON UPI - Chair man Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y., of the House Judiciary Committee, predicted Monday night that Con press will approve most of Presi dent Kennedy's civil rights bill but only after some compromise. Ccllcr's committee will open hearings on the administration's! proposals Wednesday with Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy as the first witness. Kennedy was pre paring a half-hour-long statement for the session. In forecasting congressional passage of most of the adminis tration program, Celler said that "after all is said and done" it would be a compromise, however. He predicted that chairman Howard W. Smith, D-Va., would try to bottle up the bill in the House Rules Committee, but said he was prepared to olfer a dis charge petition to get it to the House floor. Such a move would require the signatures of 218 House members. Reported Pleased Atty. Gen. Kennedy was re ported to be pleased that his first congressional appearance on the bill would be before Ccllcr's com mittee on the entire bill. He had been scheduled to testi fy before tile Senate Commerce Committee today on the public accommodations section of the civil rights package, the most controversial part of the bill. His Senate appearance was de layed until some time next week, however, when Sen. Strom Thur mond, D-S.C. served notice that he would object to meetings of the commerce committee whilel the Senate was in session. Unanimous consent is necessary for a committee to hold hearings! while the Senate is meeting, so! Thurmond's objection means that the commerce committee sessions will be slowed considerably. Has 4t Co-sponsors The administration bill wound up Monday night with i co sponsors, four short of the 50 that Democratic Leader Hubert Humphrey, Minn., predicted it would have. Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., attacked the public accommoda-1 tions proposal Monday. He said a similar Reconstruction law was declared unconstitutional by t h e SuDreme Court in 1KB but "I department's visa office, who said he is also, from former days, a disciple of someone called "Dr Bruno," the memory expert.

He said the course would in clude remembering names, num bers, speech points and how to memorize a full deck of playing cards by dealing through it only once. The course is sponsored by the State Department-USIA Recrea tion Association and is held after working hours. There were only about SO pupils, but if mnemonics catches on, the effect on U. S. diplomacy could be beyond imagination. Winners All Around Suppose, for example, Ameri can diplomats suddenly began beating all other diplomats at cards. Consider the effect if the third secretary of the American Em bassy in Byanibar were able to quote verbatim the full text of Article 6 .C of the Byanabar constitution to the minister of transportation and culture. Most important of all, what! would happen if diplomats no longer could honestly say, "I don't remember." One of Monday night's students was a State Department political official concerned with Laos.

The Kennedy administration measure would add $45 million to authorized funds for the Area Redevelopment Agency (AKAi which the House by a slim mar gin refused to approve. The bill now faces mounting opposition in the Senate. Kennedy has asked Congress to double the funds for the 20-month- old agency, which was created 1961 to bring federal aid to communities and regions suffer ing from chronic unemployment. Republicans, bactted by some conservative Democrats, have itrongly attacked the agency. Sen. Wallace F. Bennett. R-Utah. said the ARA amounted to little more than a political slush fund for tlie Democrats. He labeled the agency a step toward "planned government economy" and contended that many of its loans and grants had been used to build up marginal industries which only cause un employment in other areas.
