Your merchants here grow hog

Senator Stennis pointed out,

The House went ahead with
the Sis billion Federal aid to
school construction bill today but
Chairman Barden of the Educa-
ton and Labor Committee de-
clared he is washing my hands"
and refuses to handle tie meas
use any longer as floor manager.
The action of the North Caro-
lima Democrat in repudiating the
measure his committee had sup
ported was highly unusual in
Congress. He told the House
that the addition of the Powell
anti-Segregation amendment had
made the measure SO obnoxious
and Objectionable to the Amer
lean people" that he could not
go along with it any further.
Mr.. Barden had indicated
earlier today that he would not
call up the bill at all. This might
have prevented the House from
reSuming consideration of the
measure it began debating last
Monday. Unless Speaker. Ray
burn recognized some other
member of the committee to call
up the bill-another very un~
usual procedure-it probably
would have been allowed to die
from inaction.
Agrees to Call Bill
Mr.. Barden conferred with
Speaker Rayburn and other
Democratic leaders before the
House reconvened today. He told
reporters he was washing his
hands but had agreed at least
to call up the bill when the
House met.
He did call it up without en-
thusiasm and promptly explained
to the House that Il have very
definitely reached the conclu-
sion that our people do not want
this bill"
Without mentioning the anti.
segregation amendment tenta-
lively adopted last Tuesday by
the House, he declared that THE
bill now has too many bad fea-
lures and too many things have
been given priority over the
original detectives which this
bill was set up to accomplish.
1t was expected that the task
of handling the bill on the
Democratic side of the floor
would be left to Representative
Bailey, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, another member of the
Education and Labor Committee.
Mr.. Bailey, however. strongly OPP
poses the amendment sponsored
by Representative Powell, Demo-
crat of New York, to withhold
Federal school construction
funds from States or communi-
ties failing to integrate their
public school systems.
Bills Fate Uncertain
Speaker Rayburn and other
Democratic leaders offered no
predictions concerning the future
of the bill in the House today.
One Democratic leader said he
believed the Powell Amendment
would be upheld on a roll call
vote unless the Republicans sup
port President Eisenhower bet
ter than they did last Tuesday"
The President several times in
recent months said he thought
the Powell amendment mad no
place in bill designed solely
to help States build additional
schools to cope with an acute
shortage of classrooms. In the
unrecorded test vote last Tues
day, fewer than 80 Republican
members opposed the Powell
amendment.
Meanwhile, further amend
ments were being offered early

Ned H. Dearborn, president of
