Bermuda Movies
To Deseqrequte

HAMILTON, Bermuda, July
/ (AP).-Bermuda's movie
houses will be completely de-
segregated tomorrow. Negroes
have boycotted the theaters
since last Wednesday to pro-
test segregated seating.
The boycott caused the the
Aters to close down.
The governors committee
that met with theater repre-
seYltatives announced the color
bar would be dropped.
It was announced Monday
that Negroes may now dine and
dance at Bermuda's leading
hotels, formerly patronized by
whites only. Negroes are still
barred from taking rooms.
The seven major hotels OBJ
serving the new policy are the
Belmont Manor, Castle Harbor,
Elbow Beach Surf Club, In

and the New Bermudiana.

bill by amending the Morse
original to provide:
For an elected mayor draw
ing a $4,000 annual salary
and a nine-member council.
The council chairman would
draw $500 and each other
councilman $6.500-a-year.
For school board selection
and membership to be deter
mined by the council. Senator
Morse gave up his insistence
on an elected school board in
his only compromise on prin-
ciple in committee.
For municipal court judges
to serve 10 years at salaries of
at least $17,50o each, chosen in
a way the council may decide.
Freedom for government en-
ployes to run for local office.
This amendment permits the
Civil Service Commission to
exempt Federal employees from
Hatch Act bans on political
activities in the District.
Budget Responsibility
Under the recommended
form of home rule, the mayor
and the council would draw
up annual budgets. District
tax revenues would be expend-
ed by the council.
But elected officials would
be allowed to petition Congress
annually for a Federal pay
ment to meet Federal City
costs that exceed tax takes.

Their action in a closed

lowed assurances from Mayor

It threw House proponents
Of home rule into temporary
confusion. They had banked on
Senate passage of a territorial

freed from the House District

A majority of Congressman
can force House vote on an

The United States Court of
Appeals for the District multi

left the area again zoned for
