 Civil Rights Proposals for Congress OK

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower called on Congress Thursday to strengthen civil rights laws by making it federal crime to use force or threats of force to obstruct court orders in school de- segregation cases.
 As part of seven point legiSla- tive package submitted to Con- gress, Eisenhower said this pro- posal would give the government "a valuable enforcement power to deter mob violence and such other acts of violence or threats which seek to obstruct court decrees in desegregation cases"
 The program had been tagged by the President in advance as a moderate one designed not to raise temperatures
 But it may not please either southern segregationists or north ern liberals of both parties in all respects.
 The package provides:

 Alaska's two senators, Bob Bart lett and Ernest Gruening, got in line early before the Senate Com merce Committee to plug for pass age of the Acknowledgements Federal Airport Aid Bill which President Eisenhower turned down last year after Congressional en- actment.
 While even the Democratic pro- posal would fall far short of meet ing Alaska's airport needs between now and the end of 1862, as wit messed by a Fedeal Aviation Agen- cy study, it treats the state much more generously than does an Ad- ministration counter proposal
 The Administration bill would provide four-year program un- der which Alaska would receive $7,783,135 if it puts up a like amount in matching funds.
 The Democratic proposal calls for five-year program, would provide $11,25o,O0O for Alaska, and would carry over the 25 per cent matching requirements which Alaska enjoyed as a territory.
 The Federal Aviation Agency places the four-year nees for Alaska's airport development at $36, ,444,0 ,000 for air commerce air ports and $1,327,OOO for general aviation airports - total of $37,- I'll, ,OOO.
