proposal at yesterdays Labor
Day session.
There was scarcely any talk
on the floor today.
But Mr.. Gross blocked APP
proval yesterday by demand
ing to know how much the
building would cost.
Some of us around here
want to get rid of some of these
buildings" he said then.
Roll Call Demanded
He asked for a roll call vote.
Leaders had promised that
none would be taken at the
holiday session. So, action was
postponed. The House almost
adjourned over the issue be-
cause Mr.. Gross then insisted
on a quorum call. A quorum was
present by the end of the call,
but If members hadn't come to
the floor they would have had
to quit for the day.
House Administration Com
mittee Chairman Burleson,
Democrat Of Texas. explained
the resolution would guarantee
orderly development Of building
plans for the library. The Cap

House Gets
Warning on
Wall Plan

The House yesterday was
warned about that mon
strosity" called the Freedom
Wall although the proposal has
failed even to clear committees
in this congressional session.
II think it is time to drop
all further talk about this
monstrosity of a Freedom Wall
some people want to build, !"
Representative Gross. Republic
can Of Iowa, told House men,
bers.
He said Arlington Cemetery
needed all the space it could
get. The monument has been
designed for the MENUS Tract
near the Two JiIna memorial
on the Virginia side of the
river. adjacent to the cemetery.
The tract could take care Of
burials for about IL months il
1t were made part of the ceme-
terry. Representative Aspinall,
Democrat Of Colorado, said. He
indicated Mr.. Gross had q point
when he said even that much
space would be some help"
The exchange accompanied
House passage Of a joint reso-
luton to allow burials in ma
tional cemeteries of National
Guardsmen and Reservists
killed on active duty. This
would mean IS additional
burials in some IS cemeteries,
Mr.. Aspinall said.
Mr.. Gross said it probably
would mean a lot more burials.
But he did not object to clear
ance Of the Senate-passed
measure.
Last year, the House killed a
bill to permit construction of
the Freedom Wall on grounds
1t would mar the Potomac vista.
Veterans groups opposed the
legislation because they want
the tract made part of the
cemetery.

The
Rambler
Looks Down
From the GuIIery
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Tourists in Washington
yesterday had an unusual
opportunity Of witnessing
the Senate in session on a
holiday.
The House also met. But
most Of the interest was in
Senator Wayne Morse's de-
laying tactics to keep the
chamber in session until So
Wet Premier Khrushchev
arrives
It did seem a shame that
while the tourists were watt
ing In long queues, the diplo-
matte gallery (behind the
clock opposite the chair was
empty.
The guided tours Of tour
lists came and went after
short intervals in the gall
leries reserved for them. The
fans in the public galleries,
where admittance is on a
card from a Senator's Office,
faithfully rem aimed for
hours.
Both were equally puzzled
at times about what was
going on. The press was and
so were the Senators. When
tie session opened at Q with
Vice President Nixon in the
chair, several questions were
asked Of Parliamentarian
Charles Watkins about the
parliamentary situation. Mr..
Watkins had to answer ad-
ditional questions as the ses-
sion proceeded.
One thing was certain: It
was Labor Day. When Sena-
tor Lyndon Johnson intro
duced a resolution recogniz-
ing the great contribution of
working men and women, he
asked unanimous consent to
limit comments to three
minutes.
Mr.. Morse objected. Fiji
teen minutes? He still OBJ
jected. He wanted to be able
to tell the Senate about the
significance of the day.

where nine attended three
schools.
Alexandria School Supt. T.
c. williams assured parents Of
late registrants that their chill
dren probably would not be
delayed more than a few days
In beginning school.
About 400 parents Of first
and second grade pupils who
failed to register during nor
NAL periods this spring and
summer brought their children
to Robert E. Lee School this
morning for examination.
Many were upset. claiming
that they had been advised
that their children would nave

to enter school.
II can see no reason for
that long a delay" Mr.. VIII
liams said.
He reported that test results
will be compiled Immediately
and rushed to the State pupil
placement board with a re-
quest for prompt action. MIR
Williams said that as soon as
the State board returns the
applica tons. parents will be
notified.

went through the press gal
lery. There on the Senator's
desk was a three-volume
work from the Library of
Congress undoubtedly THE
History of Labor in the
United States" by John R.
Commons, which the Sena-
tor had mentioned during
the debate on Saturday. He
had promised to read it In
its entirety. He also had two
works by Prof. Selig Perlman
to bring 1t up to date.
The Senate certainly is the
most deliberate body in the
world. The resolution was
left on the Presidents desk
(Mr. Nixon's) and they went
into the morning hour" This
Is usually the period in which
Senator's can introduce bills
and resolutions or ask unan-
imous consent cit is always
granted to have speeches
they made elsewhere or edi-
torialS and newspaper arti-
Giles they approve printed in
the Record. Limited to three
minutes, they usually make
a graceful little speech ex-
planning their action.
Yesterday the morning
hour" took almost until
noon. One would think they
were all helping Mr.. Morse
in his delaying tactics. But
he had his own. Twice he
felt called upon to Suggest
the absence of a quorum"
That sets bells ringing for a
roll call. The clerk slowly
reads through the list of 100
Senators and then goes
through it again for those
who did not answer the first
time. The first took "a min
utes. This writer forgot to
time the second.
One would think that a
Senator whose tactics are
delaying the adjournment
for days, forcing night and
holiday sessions, would be. a
pariah.

night Senator Pastore sug-
gested that the senior Sena-
tor from oregon should ask

We Can Take It, But Can You?

The white man IN the south has been pretty successful in
some areas in selling the Negro on the "baloney' that integra-
ton will severely set the Negro back in the field Of race rea-
tons and will impair his economic standing.
Unfortunately, there are a few of the souths Negroes fall
ing for the bunk. But they are more or less in the same cate
CORY that the white man is in who is dishing it out. They
are not interested in the welfare of their people but interested
in themselves. Neither is the white man interested in the Ne
gro, ne is afraid of his own economic security. He is no
fool, ne knows that the Negro has made considerable inroads
to success under servere handlcaps, and if the Negro is given
an equal opportunity as a citizen, the white man will be put
on a competitive basis, and competition with brains will work
havoc on the dixie white man.
Inc white people have even gone as far as to gather Stats
TICS III the field of teaching to convince the Negro of his error
In contending for what the law has said he is entitled to. He
deals in the theory that teaching is the only profession that
the Negro aspires, and Indignation will invahdate the Negroes
goal.
We got news for Mr.. Charley. When more Negroes begin
exploring other avenues for employment than teaching, we will
be FAR better off. and nothing will bring those avenues into
focus as quickly as school indignation. School Indignation will
furnish the qualifications, and where qualifications exist. un-
employment doesn't linger long in an integrated society.
We fully realize that any transition in a changing pattern
is going to witness a sting, WE CAN TAKE 1T, BUT CAN
YOU?

Paging Mr.. Faubus and Associates :.

When a reporter asked Governor Faubus, after several
men had been nabbed and charged in connection with the re-
cent bombings here who were identified with the Ku Klux Klan
and the Canftal Citizens Council -rr he considering legisla-
ton to outlaw the Klan and the Council, Governor Faubus was
alleged to have have said, mo, these organizations were just
as legal as the Naacp.
What is legal in Governor Faubus's view, does not neces-
sarily mean legality from a standpoint of law. It has been es-
tablished beyond any shadow of doubt that Governor Faubus, in
spite of the United States Supreme Court, interprets and makes
laws to his own convenience and advantage. And it appears
that the more his interpretations conflict with the rights of
Others, the more he enjoys them.
But what the governor interprets as legal, or what he in
terprets as illegal has little bearing on the thinking of the bet
ter class of citizens here, for they know that those accused
lin the bombings are not Naacpers.

What A Difference A Few Hours Make. :.

Last week a local daily paper that hits the streets in the
afternoon, carried an Associated Press release from Fort Worth,
Texas, stating that a young white girl had been repeatedly
raped by a gang Of Negro youths. The release quoted the girl
as saying that she had been raped, and stated that her story
had been substantiated by a physician.
A few hours later another local daily paper that hits the
streets in the morning brought a release from the same agency
and city stating that the girl definitely had not been raped, and
the statement was supported By hospital attendants where the
girl aleeednv I'D been taken for an examination. In the later
release, It was reported an attempted rape by Negro youths.
Several days later a local weekly came out and had a
