RED RIDERS FOES
SHUN COMPROMISE
Kennedy Fears Repeal Bill
May Lose-Urged to
Stand Firm.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Aroused over the contemplated move
of Representative Kennedy, Demo.
crat, of Maryland to drop his fight for
outright repeal of the "red rider" just
as the House prepared to settle the
issue. supporters Of the repeal bill
planned last night to urge him tt
abandon the compromise plan.
Kennedy proposes to offer ar
amendment to his original bill de.
signed to permit the teaching of the
facts Of the Russian form Of govern.
ment in the public schols, but at the
same time specifically forbid the advo-
cacy Of communism ''or any other un.
American doctrines"
Chairman Norton Of the House Dis.
trict Committee, as well as Repre-.
sentative Dirksen of Illinois, ranking
minority member, believe Kennedy i.
making mistake in suggesting a com.
promise. Both feel the issue should
be disposed of ION its merits" rather
than by concession.
Fears Bill May Lose.
Kennedy, however, fears his bill fol
outright repeal will be defeated. HI
said he has talked to a number o.
House members who. through misun.
derstanding. think that to vote fol
repeal would mean they approved o.
the teaching Of communism In tn,
public schools.
Personally. I would rather have {
half loaf than no loaf at ALL" he de-
clared. MY amendment will permi
teachers to teach the facts Of com
munism without fear of violating tn,
law. and at the same time abolish tn
silly practice Of having them sign .
statement that they had neithe
taught nor advocated communism be
fore getting paid.
The text Of Kennedys proposed
amendment has not been disclosed
He said he had three different draft
under consideration, each one intend
ed to have the same effect, but hat
not decided which one to offer in tn,
House when his bill is called up TO
consideration.
Mrs. Norton's Attitude.
Although Mrs. Norton believes Ken
nedy should not ''give in" to tn,
interests fighting his repeal bill b.
proposing compromise. she said sh
would not oppose his plan II he /
absolutely certain the measure ha
no chance of passing the House"
Dirksen, however, declared he woul,
not agree to any compromise.
THE proposed amendment won
help matters any," he said. "Th
question will then revert back to al
Interpretation of what constitute
teaching of facts Of communism an,
we will have the same fight owe
that we have had on the "red rider
mo, the amendment will not NEE
the situation. It will be far better
in my opinion, to settle the issue OF
its merits. I think the House shoult
vote on the original bill and not {
compromise"
Mrs. Norton indicated she was sur
prised that Kennedy had decided t,
give up his battle for outright repea
Of the rider, especially in view of tn
fact that so many organizations, no
only in Washington, but Throughout
the country, had urged removing i
from the statute books.
Surely the people Of Washington
know something about their owl
business and what they want. Nearl.

The problem of disease in the wake
Of the midcontinental flood grew
more pressing today as crests of the
swollen Mississippi smashed impo-
tently at miles Of unyielding levees.
Overcast skies and rising tempera-
lures brought threat Of rain to
100000 laborers working night and
day to keep the river in check. Sand
boils and seepage kept them busy on
all fronts.
An outbreak Of dysentery among
the workers along the Reelfoot levee
emphasized the necessity of extra
precautions against disease outbreaks.
Warnings were issued that wells
should be chlorinated and flood
killed animals burned or buried.

the peak of 59.62 feet, and the guage
at Paducah, KY. on the Ohio, stood
at $685. feet, fall Of only l foot
