Mr.. Virgins. although only

Seemingly with John Foster

Only One Test
Is Set for COLLEGE
Draft Deferment
BY the Associated Press

Selective Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey said today
only one college qualification
test will be offered in the next
school year instead of the
three given in previous years.
The test results, plus a
students standing in his class,
are used by local draft boards
in considering student re-
quests for deferment to con-
tinue their studies.
Gen. Hershey said the single
test planned for next year
probably will be held in the
spring. He said the reduced
schedule was ordered because
the number Of persons taking
the examination was dropped,
and present draft calls are for
men % years or older.
Only 11,122 took the test
during the school year just
ended. Gen. Hershey said, COM
pared with 74,327 in the first
full year Of the program.

other matter of dispute today
Mr.. Eisenhower was quoted
earlier this week as Being
willing to accept the bill
although not entirely satisfied
with it. The Capitol heard a
rumor yesterday afternoon that
the President planned a last
minute appeal for passage. The
rumor was not verified by the
White House. In any event, the
bill was dead a few hours later.
Almost a year ago the House
rejected, 224 to 1874, a school
construction aid bill sponsored
by Representative Kelley,
Democrat of Pennsylvania. This
measure called for a $40 bill

touch a hair on it (the bilD Is
disappearing"
The jury trial vote is not
expected before next week, and
both sides will be working hard
in the meantime to strengthen
their lines.
The basic feature of the adj
ministration's civil rights bill is
the proposal to use civil court
injunctions, instead of existing
criminal laws, to enforce civil
rights, particularly for Negroes
in the Southern States. When
the United States is party to
an Injunction, existing law
rules out jury trials for persons
charged with contempt for vio-
lating the injunction.
PROCESS Narrowed
The administration lost the
first half of the contest when
the Senate voted So to 80 to
strike out authority to use these
injunctions to enforce integra-
ton in public places, or any
other civil right.
This narrowed the injunction
process to use only in protect
ing voting rights. The Presi-
dent has come out against a
jury trial amendment, and his
hackers in the Senate are max
ing an about drive to prevent
a second major defeat.
Their job is to win over a
substantial number Of the IL
Republicans who voted with "a
Democrats to narrow the scope
of the bill two days ago. On
that occasion Is Republicans
and only Is Democrats stood
by the broader House bill.
Would Curtail Jury Action
The pending amendment. by
Senator O'Mahoney. would al
low jury trials in criminal con-
tempt cases, but not for civil
contempt.
Civil contempt is usually a
case where the judge imprisons
a defendant until he promises
to carry out the courts order,
and he can virtually release
himself whenever he promises
to comply. Criminal contempt
would involve willful refusal to
abandon a course of action
which also constitutes q viola
ton of Federal or State law.

not more than five votes and
probably not more than three
Although he helped lead the
fight to narrow the scope Of the
bill to voting cases. he indicated
he will support the administra-

Southern Attitude
Asked what the SouthernerS
would do If no jury-trial
amendment is adopted. Senator
Russell told reporters:
I'VE did not sign anything in
blood, but it was generally I'M
derstood that without a jury
trial we would resort to every
means at our command-llse
every weapon in the arsenal"
This was presumably a ref
erance to making full use of the
rules to prevent passage of the
bill.
Senator johnson told report

ing some of the most respected
leaders of labor, have reached
the conclusion that the jury
trial in criminal contempt cases
should be safeguarded.

Big Spender
By CECIL HOLLAND

President Anthony F. Valente
and Secretary Treasurer Lloyd
Klenert Of the United Textile
Workers of America were ac-
cused today of miSusing $685.
405 of union funds.
The charge was made by the
Senate committee investigating
improper labor management
activities at the windup of an
inquiry into the way the two
union officials handled funds
entrusted to them.
Klenert was accused of mis-
using $101,963 of the 1923, 405
for lavish theater parties. a
long list of personal purchases
for himself. his wife and chill
dren, hotel bills in Swanky
Miami Beach and Bermuda and
other places and rental of
Cadillac convertibles.
The union-paid purchases at
tributed to Klenert included
$l1.41l worth of theater tickets.

Klenert's wife. and many other
items of clothing. house furn-
ishings, diaper service, and
trampoline lessons.
Money Used for Homes
The 900 included $57, 900
of union funds by Klenert and
Valente in the purchase of ex-
pensive homes in Rock Greek
Hills in nearby Maryland. This
money was used in May, 1852,
and was repaid TO the Union in
August of that year.
Klenert undertook to explain
the purchases as having been
paid for with a $500 a year
expense allowance granted him
and Valente by the union.
Committee Counsel Robert r.
Kennedy said, however, that
payments for the purchases
were above and beyond" the
unions authorized salary and
per diem allowances.
The disclosures brought down
on Klenert, in the witness chair.

evidence showed "a complete

Valente he should get out and
turn the organization over to

hearing record several tabula-
