The Negro quadruplets, all girls, were born to Mrs. Dolores Harris, 19, within 10 minutes the first at 11:09 a.m., the last at 11:19. They were reported inlis $90 a week, have one other Any Change In Bill Hit WASHINGTON (UPD - Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said he opposed any changes in the administration's civil rights bill that wnulrl "water down" the proposed ban on discrimination in public accimmodations. Kennedy said a tedcril ban was needed to stop "one of the most ctrhittcring forms of racial discrimination" that stamps s "bsHrre cf :r.5w:r,rity" on Ne' groes. . "While people of whatever kind even prostitutes, narcotics pushers, Communists or bank robbers are welcome at estab lishmcnts which will not admit certain of our federal judges, am bassadors and countless men bcrs of our armed forces," Ken nedy said. Kennedy told the Senate Com merce Committee that he and the President "emphatically" m anted the seven-point rights legislation passed this year. Reply To GOP His strongly worded statement i was regarded as a rebuttal to Republican charges that the ad- ministration was ready to sacri fice the public accommodations provision to get the rest of the bill through Congress. - The Pros dent's brother threw his full support behind the pro- posal to outlaw discrimination in hotels, theaters, restaurants and stores and oilier facilities open to the public. Kennedy urged passage of a separate accommodations bill just five days after he appealed to the House Judiciary Commit tee to enact the entire civil rights package.' The attorney general dismissed as a "smokescreen" the argu i ments raised by some Republi cans and southern Democrats that the bill would seriously infringe on property rights. "The only right it will deny is the right to discriminate to em barrass and humiliate millions of our citizens in the pursuit of their daily lives," he said. Notes Celler Proposal Kennedy took note of the pro posal by Chairman Emanuel Cel-' ler. D-N.Y., of the House Ju diciary Committee that Congress should exclude business establish- ments from coverage if their volume of sales was below a cer-j tain point. He said the standards for cov erage in the administration's bill would be plain enough in the great majority of cases. "We intentionally did not make the size of a business the criter ion (or coverage because we be lieve that discrimination by many small establishments imposes a cumulative burden on interstate commerce." Kennedy said. Test For Coverage Kennedy said public accommo dations would be covered if they met the following tests: Publir loagings. if they are public and the lodgers are tran sients. Place of amusemen'.'if they customarily present entertain ment which moves in interstate commerce. Restaurants and retail stores. 1 if a substantial part of their business is with interstate, trav elers or '2' if a substantial part of their wares has moved in in terstate commerce or 3i if their activities substantially affect in terstate commerce or Hi if they are an Integral part of another business covered by any of the provisions listed above. good condition. Their wights were 4 pounds 10! ounces, 4-!o2, 4-14'2, and 4-7, in order of delivery. They were about one month premature. Physicians planned to run tests today to determine whether the infants were identical. They said Hie possibility of identical quad ruplets is far less likely than the occurrence of quadruplets, which is about one in 700,000. Mrs. Harris and her husband, Bernard, 23, a tractor assembly-1 line worker for International Harvester whose take-home pay No Spying Seen In Sex Scandal WASHINGTON UPI - Allen Dulles, former Central Intelli gence Agency (CIA) director. thinks there is more sex than, criyii:2 involved in Britain's Pro-1 lumo scandal. Mo information revealed so tar indicates that former War :,lin ister John Profumo was em ployed by Soviet spies through parly - ;jirl Christine Kceler to1 gain government secrets, Dulles said Sunday. "The question they apparently gave tlie young lady to ask as to when the Germans were going to get Ihe atomic bomb was not a very penetrating intelligence question." he said. hild, Shawn, 15 months. They learned in March that they mightl have quads. It wasn't until April 11, the day after Mrs. Harris entered Mi enact Reese Hospital, that an electrocardiograph detected four separate fetal heartbeats. Dr. Frank E. Rubovits, chief of obstetrics at Michael Reese. where the babies were born, said "extreme precaution" was a def inite factor in assuring the safe! delivery. Hospital spokesmen said the careful diet prepared for Mr Harris probably contributed to the healthy, well-formed condition of the tots. Physicians were optimistic about the quads prognosis. Gen erally, only one set of quads in million births survive the first year. In English language medical literature up to a few years ago, there were only 16 living sets of! quadruplets for the last 30 years. T h father said he and his wife loved children and he didn't think the rapid increase in his family would be too much of a hard' ship." "I feel great," he said. Firsf Spleen Transplant Performed DENVER (UPII - A 10-year-1 old patient at Colorado General Hospital had a new spleen today (o" owing a historic transplant op eration performed during the weekend. . Both the boy and his mother, the donor of the organ, were re ported in "fair" condition after surgery, but the youngster still faces a crisis, probably some time this month, when his body is likely to attemt to "reject" the spleen as foreign matter. Thp operation was the lirst spleen transplant in history. The mother and son are from Pueblo, Colo. They have not been identified. Doctors said the boy was suf fering from a disease which de pleted the supply of antibodies in his blood. AnuVxhes fight infec tion, and because i;e did not have enough of them he was chroni cally ill. A team of surgeons which has performed kidney and liver trans plants here in recent months un dertook the spleen operation. Their idea was that the new spleen, an organ which produces antibodies, would provide the boy with more immunity from infec tion. A normally healthy person like his mother can pet !nng vithou' a spleen because antibodies also are produced by other organs the thymus gland and lymph nodes. Promise Of Seaway Still Unrealized In Midwest CHICAGO (UPD - The Mid west is still waiting for the St. Lawrence Seaway dream to come true. It was less than five years ago in April, 1959 that the pas sage was breached and the way cleared for salt water vessels to tap the wealth of the nation's heartland. That was a time of superlatives There was talk of 35 million tons of cargo within the seaway's first year, 50 million annually within 10 years. Duluth and Toledo were to become the harbor rivals of New York and New Orleans. Who could tell? Some day ocean liners might be docking at Detroit and Chica go's harbor lights would be as famous as Singapore's. It hasn't happened yet. In few cities along the seaway route the channel to the Atlantic has! been everything the civic plan nets dreamed. In a Nw others, the age of the seaway has been a bitter disappointment. In mrjit, the potential is still there. But it could be years before it is realized. Passes Expectations After four years on the seaway, Toledo port director Louis C Purdcy estimated the city's an nual Income is $20 to $25 million richer. Tonnage passing through the Toledo port has "gone far! beyond the orginnl projections Unit Warns Of Fatal 4th CHICAGO (UPH - Within four days the bloody slaughter of the Fourth of July weekend begins and the National Safety Council estimales that 550 to 650 persons will be killed in traffic accidents. The 102-hour holiday weekend begins at 6 p.m. local time July 3 and ends at midnight July 7. "With the Fourth of July his torically more dangerous," Safe ty Council President Howard Pyle said, "it calls for extra cau tion by all of us to hold the num ber of fatalities to the lower side of the estimate." He noted the Memorial Day weekend toll of 525 killed last month set a record for a 102- hour holiday period. The median age of all women workers is now 41 years, reports the U.S. Department of Labor.

But at the twin ports of Du- lulh. Minn., and Superior. Wis., which had dreamed of a new iron age ot prosperity, l.ierc were many who felt they'd be better off if someone filled in the St Lawrence River. . In Chicago, once touted as the potential queen uf the seaway cities, pon director Capt. John J. Manley took the hard-nosed view. "The seaway has more than lived up the expectations of real istic people," he said, "but not the dreamers." In most seaway ports there was agreement that the cities which have made the channel pay off for them are the ones which worked hardest at it. Tonnage Below Anticipation It is almost as easy to speak gloomily of the seaway as it, was to hail its coming five years; ago. The first year the channel op ened, total tonnage was about five million below expectations. Latest figures from the Senate public works appropriations sub committee have total tonnage 34 million below anticipations since 1959. Tonnage increased 10 per cent last year to a total of ust under 26 million. McCann rated that a "banner year," but the original hole had been for 37 million tons.
