Mr.. Celler is seeking Repub-

Senate liberals moved today
for quick action to outlaw the
poll tax by legislation instead
of the cumbersome process OF
amending the Constitution.
Senators JavitS, Republican

Democrat of Illinois, announced
that % other Senators will join

They were prompted to take
this step by the announcement
that Senator Holland, Demo-

Senate action on his constitu-

Justice Contention
The Justice Department, rep
resented by Lawrence E. Walsh,
contends conformation and
cross examination are not at
issue in the case. Mr.. Walsh, q
deputy attorney general, point
ed out that the commission has
no authority to punish. but
acts instead as a fact-finding
agency.
Last week arguments were
completed on a case in which
a Federal judge in Georgia de-
clared portions of the Civil
Rights Act unconstitutional on
the ground it gives the Attorney
General the right to file in
junction suits against indi-
vidual citizens as we'll as State
officials.
Another case accepted for
hearing involves a ruling by
a Federal judge in Alabama
which held that the act does
not permit the Federal Gov
ernment to sue a State on
harges of discrimination
against Negroes who wish to
register and are unable to do so.

Although it has received scant
attention in the press, it has be-
come the subject of tremendous
propaganda barrage by the Amer
lean Medical Assn. Recently I
asked several newspapermen if
they knew about the measure or
what it provided. Two said they
had not heard of it, third said
he became interested in the meas
ure when he began to notice the
vehemence of the ANA attacks.
A fourth said he was familiar with
the measure because a doctor ask
ed him if it was some more SOC
ialized medicine"
Outside the halls OF Congress the
debate over the Forand bill pro-
ceeds furiously. But since hardly
anyone knows what it does, a
brief run down might be in order.
What it would do is provide hos
pital, surgical and nursing home
treatment, under federal supervis-
ion, for some 100000 older citi-
zens eligible for social security
payments.
The ANA has put out a small
pamphlet describing the measure.
The title sums up the ANA atti-
tude, POLITICAL MEDICINE IS
BAD MEDICINE"
1t begins:
Political medicine is the type
of medicine this country could ex-
pect if a measure now before
Congress were made law 1t
would mean red tape, bureaucratic
control, high costs and inferior
medical care. Further, it would
establish a system of socialized
medicine for a large segment of
the population. Americans rejected
socialized medicine in 1850. But
here it is again under a different
label"
I wonder, in view of the Kefau-
yer inquiry on the high cost of
drugs, If the ANA makes a good
case for the medical profession
when its arguments are pitched to
such an emotional level?

Democratic Leader Lyndon B.

Holland Is, of course, strongly
opposed to any tough civil rights

Educational T. V.
Is Not Available

Educational television would not
be available to residents of south
ern Delaware according to a New
ark engineer.
G. R. Chambers of Ill Country
Club Drive, Newark, in a recent
address before the Wilmington
Jaycees, said residents of Delmar,
Seaford, Laurel, and neighboring
localities would not benefit from
the proposed educational television
station for Delaware if WHYY of
Philadelphia is granted a license
from the Federal Communications
Commission to operate on Channel
II.
Four commercial broadcasters
have also applied for Delaware's
only television channel, off the
air now for two years. Applicants
for the channel are: Rollins
Broadcasting, Inc, Wilmington;
Wilmington Television, Inc, a four
way partnership; Metropolitan
Broadcasting Corp, which owns in
dependent stations in Washington
DC, and New York; and National
Telefilm Associates, a firm which
markets television programs and
operates Channel 13 in Newark,

NJ.
At the present time, WHYY op-
crates Channel 35, an ultra-high-
frequency channel, as an educat-
ional television outlet 1t is report
ed that $963,000 would be needed
for the first years operations of
the educational channel. An op-
Grating budget of S450,000 is need
ed but the first years expenses
have been taken care through in
itial financial support of business
interests and foundations. Hearings
on the five applications to the FEC
are scheduled for January 8.
Mr.. Chambers said, I'm sure
all of us want our state to pro-
gress and desire equal opportuni-
ties for our children. l have not
talked to a single person in Della
ware or elsewhere who are op-
posed to educational television.
They are against it, however when
it is at the expense of other i'm
portant considerations. 1t is my
opinion that Delaware should make
a study and prepare program
designed to bring educational tel
evision to all of Delaware; not to
a small area of the state"
In his remarks, Mr.. Chambers
said it is time now to be asking
for the same facilities as the rest
of the states.
