Unions Feel Vote Drive Will Help Re-elect JFK WASHINGTON l(UPI Union leaders who have been planning a register-and-votc campaign de signed to help re-elect President Kennedy will get a glimpse of the potential candidate today. , Kennedy has invited parlici-i pants in an AFL-CIO "big cities"! registration conference to an au dience this afternoon, at 4 p.m., EDT, in the White House rose garden. . The conference is sponsored by the labor federation's Committee on Political Education (COPE) and has attracted about 100 dele gates from 22 of the nation's largest metropolitan areas. They are considering ways to step up registration of union members in advance of the '64 elections. Although COPE officials do not Up Race Strife Shows In All Colors JUNEAU, Alaska (UPI) Ra- cial discrimination isn't always a matter of black and white. A part Chippewa Indian plead ed guilty here Tuesday to charge of violating Alaska's civil rights statutes by refusing to cut a Negro's hair in a barbershop owned by a Filipino. The Negro wound up being convicted of as sault and battery. 11 happened like this: , Allan Wilson, a Negro construc tion worker, entered the barbershop. The barber. Henry Larance, said in court that he told Wilson, "I don't know if the boss serves colored people in here and he s gone right now'." About the same time, an an nouncer on the barbershop radio broke in with a bulletin from President Kennedy's recent press conference on civil rights. Larance said Wilson sat down and after listening to the news cast, jumped to his feet and be can beating Larance with his fists and shouting, "You're one of those kind of guys. : Wilson was convicted of assault and battery and sentenced to 30 days, suspended, and lined S 100 . Larance received the same sen tence for violating the civil rights statutes. ' No complaint was filed against the shop owner, Fred Carrilio say so, they give every indica tion that their get-out-the-vote1 drive next year will raise Ken nedy s chances of returning to1 the White House for four morei years. Meets With Moany Before Kennedy sees the con ference delegates, he has ar ranged a private talk with George Meany, AKL-CIO presi dent, and Alexander Balkan, newly appointed COPE director. Barken said the COPE meet ing was concentrating on regis tration of union members who have moved to the suburbs as well as those who still live in side the city limits of New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and; other metropolitan areas. We are just following our people," Balkan said in describ ing organized labor's efforts to increase the percentage of work- crs registered to vote. He esti mated the percentage at 60 per cent of all workers over 21 and otherwise qualified to cast a bal lot. Cost Near Million Next year's drive is expected to cost from $750,000 to $1,000,000 and will be financed in part by a special assessment on AFL-CIO unions equivalent to 2 or 3 cents for each member.' This would raise about $230,000 to $375,000. The AFL-CIO itself and the AFL- CIO Industrial Union Department also will make substantial con tributions. Sessions so far have included some sharp self-criticism of sim ilar union efforts in 1960 and 1962. Some of the fire was concen trated on the New York City Cen tral Labor Council headed by Harrv Van ArsHale. who is also president of Local 3 of the Broth erhood of Electrical Workers.

Humphrey, D-Minn., says he plans to take personal command of a drive to persuade the Kennedy Administration to re verse its tough policy on farm ex ports to Russia. Humphrey, as Senate Demo cratic whip, is in a strategic spot for such an effort. He discussed the issue Tuesday with President Kennedy and according to Hum phrey iiad an interested, atten tive listener. The Minnesota senator's cam paign was touched off by Mon day's announcement that Canada will sell more than 300 million bushels of wheat to the Soviet Union. Call to Re-Examine Humphrey later arose on the Senate floor to announce that the U.S. Government should now re examine the possibility of expand ing its own trade in food products with "the Soviet sphere." The Soviet wheat purchase from Canada coincided with re ports that Russia's own wheat harvest is down sharply this year. But Agriculture Department offi cials said the Soviets have made no move to buy U.S. wheat. If such a request sthould be made, governmentt and Congres- Jews Begin Holy Days By United Press International At sundown today the sonorous wailing of a ram's horn in thou sands of synagogues around the world will summon Jews to ob servance of the High Holy Days, most sacred period of the year. Observed continually since the time of Moses, the High Holy Days are 10 days of self- examination and penitence, which mark the beginning of a new year on the Jewish calendar. This will be the year 5724. The High Holy Days open with Mosh Hashanah, a Hebrew phrase meaning Head of the Year Tradition holds that it is the an niversary of the first day of crea tion. Orthodox and Conservative Jews commemorate Rosh Hasha nah for two days; most Reform Jews for one. Unlike the great spring festival of the Passover, which centers around a family ritual celebrated at home, Rosh Hashanah is pri marily a synagogue service. The 10 days of penitence cul minate with Yom Kippur, the "Day of Atonement," which be gins this year at sundown Fri day, Sept. 27. This is the holiest day of the year for religious Jews. It is ob served with prayer, fasting, and synagogue services that continue around the clock, from sundown through the night and day until the following sundown. New Car Cost Remains Steady DETROIT (UPI) The cost of new cars probably will remain steady during the 1964 model year.- C h r y s le r Corp. announced Tuesday it would generally hold the price line on its new models for the fifth straight year. Other auto firms were expected to fol low the lead of Chrysler, which was the first to announce prices for the second straight year. Ford. General Motors, Ameri can Motors and Studebakcr will announce their prices within the next two weeks, probably within hours of introduction at dealers showrooms. sional spokesmen agree the Presi dent legally could tell the Com merce Department to issue an export license. But the question is far more complicated than that, involving domestic political considerations as well as foreign policy. Latta Amendment In I9bl. Congress adopted the so-called Latta amendment, aimed at discouraging exports of subsidized farm products to Com munist countries. The amend ment, sponsored by Rep. Delbcrl L. Latta. H-Ohio,- amounted to a declaration of Congressional policy. The Administration has taken the position, however, that the Latta Amendment was strictly a policy statement not a flat ban on possible wheat exports to Russia. Latta savs he thinks wheat sales to Russia would violate the policy declaration. But he con cedes that the President appar ently would have the legal right to approve such a step. In any case, Canada's decision to sell massive amounts of wheat to Russia unquestionably will re- HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Wedueaday, September 18, 1961 PAGE SA suit in a massive re-examination of U.S. policy on the question.
