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.

"extreme precaution" was a def

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.

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!

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.
MAKES DIFFERENCE
Untreated railroad lies last
from five to nine years on an
average, while treated ties show
an average life of as much as
20 to 30 years.

made prior to completion of the
seaway, he said.
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.
Shippers have recited a litany
of troubles unwillingness of
some cities to promote their
ports; Congress' refusal to let

However many cities appeared
