AS for DR.. Hannah's pro-
test. Senator Mcclellan said he
does not tolerate abuse Of per-
sons under questioning and the
matter will be closely looked
into.
Senator Mcclellan told a re-
porter the complaints with re-
gard to commission affairs
were "of such a nature and
from such source that I felt
they were of such merit they
required preliminary investiga-
ton to determine whether fur
ther investigation was needed"
The Senator said his sub
committee receives numerous
complaints. many of which
never get to the public hearing
stage. He said he has wired
DR.. Hannah a request for CO.

Roy wilkins. chairman of the

criticized Senators johnson

seeking action upon a bill

the Southern bloc headed by
Senator Richard B. Russell of
Georgia"
THE Senate leadership is
not fighting a filibuster in order
to pass a strong civil rights
BILL" Mr.. wilkins said. ut is
staging a wrestling match with
all the usual grunts and groans
inserted at the appropriate
time. The present farce will
not meet the demand for a
meaningful civil rights bill; will
not enhance the image of the
Senate leaders and will not
enable either political party to
claim credit for advancing the
civil rights cause"
AFL-CIO President George
Meany yesterday wired all
members of the Senate except
those conducting the filibuster-
ing urging them to support
efforts to end the irnpaSse over
civil rights. He said the labor
federation believes the Senators

registering their convictions
by misuse of the Srnate's
own democratic procedures to
deny to American citizens theil

RUSSIANS TELL OF SEA ORDEAL

| it has that effect because
death is the most feared
fate"
Evening star., 1960-09-25
By DANIEL POOLE
Editor Of TEEN

You might not know a
16-year-old WaShingtonian
named Robert Acton. But
your younger brother or sis
ter probably does-at least
by another name.
He's Zero the Clown.
Robert, an AnacoStia
High sophomore, has ap-
peared every Tuesday
morning this summer on
the WMAL (Channel y
television show, Pete and
His Pals, to advertise the
Wilson Lines 'kiddie day"
trips on the IS Mount YER
non.
And each Wednesday,
Zero the Clown made the
trip down the Potomac
River to Marshall Hall
Amusement Park, dressed
in his bright red costume,
q squeaky nose centered on
his chalk-white face.
Robert, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Acton of 1928
S street Sc, has been a
professional clown only for
the past few months, but
he's. been in the entertain
ment business almost two
thirds of his short life.
Besides performing as
Zero the Clown, Robert also
has a ventriloquiSt act
which he started at the age
of 6, and a puppet show
Evening star., 1960-09-25
ROBERT ACTON
He's Zero the Clown

which he added two years
later. He appears at birth
day parties and at schools,
as well as benefit perform
anceS at orphanages and
Children's Hospital.
But, he adds, II work only
on week ends, never on a
school night which would
interfere with my school
work. OF course, during the
summer I perform as often
as I can"
Robert has appeared on
"kiddie" programs at all
four Washington television
stations, but his biggest
thrill, he says, was two
years ago when he did his
ventriloquist act coast-to-
coast on CBS-TV'S network
show, Captain Kangaroo.
In the puppet show, Rob-
ert has Freddy the Fox,
Horace the Bull, DENNY
the Donkey, Teddy Bear
and Miss Poodle, all with
their own individual and
unusual voices.
AS Zero the Clown, Rob-
ert uses Jerry, a ventrilo-
quist'S dummy, for ad libbed
dialogues, and he also does
a magic act in which the
tricks always backfire on
him for comic effect.
This summer" Robert
says, my only means of
transportation was by bus
or Streetcar. I had to do my
makeup at home, so when
Evening star., 1960-09-25

I would get on q bus as Zero
the Clown, it would really
Startle the people. A few
times the bus driver started
not to let me get on. But
twice cab drivers, not used
to seeing a clown waiting
at a bus stop, gave me q
free lift"
Robert says he has been
financially successful with
his various acts so far, and
he plans to continue his
career as a clown, ventrilo-
quiSt and puppeteer after
he finishes school.
"I thoroughly enjoy per-
forming for children and
feel completely at ease"
Robert says. But I get q
little chill when I get up
in front of a teen-age au-
dience at q school. When
you can get teen-agers to
laugh, I think you've really
accomplished something.
They can be severe critics,
but I've made them laugh"
Robert is proud of his
clown act, and he works
constantly to improve 1t.
Eventually, he hopes, he
might have his own "kid-
die" program on television.
And with his versatility,
he could play every part
himself.

Symington Vote Quest
Continues Unoboted

LOS ANGELES. July II (AP)
Senator Symington continues
today his quest for elusive
Democratic National Conven-
ton presidential votes, but some
key party figures are beginning
to propose possible new roles
for him.
His camp kept a stiff upper
| lip at the news former presi-
dent Truman won't attend the
Democratic convention after
all. Still. it obviously was a
blow to the hard-pressed Mis-
Sourian.
Senator Symington told a re-
porter only that "Mr. Truman
always does what he thinks
is best"
The Missourian scheduled a
steady round of conferences
with State delegations and
party leaders, outwardly un-
shaken in his drive for the
White House nomination.
However, Gov. Michael Di-
Sale of Ohio told newsmen he
believed Senator Symington
would be an ideal choice for
the Vice Presidents spot on a
ticket headed by Senator Ken
nedy.
Some other Kennedy parti-
sans were saying the same
thing and Gov. Disable indi-
Gated he might sound out the
Missouri Senator on the point
today.
Symington reiterated yester-
day his oft-expressed convic-
ton he would do better to stay
in the Senate than to run for
Vice President.
There were other suggestions
that Senator Symington might
be made Secretary of Defense
in a Democratic administra-
ton.
A report was circulated by
an Arizona delegate pledged to
Senator Kennedy that Syming-
ton was considering withdraw
ing from the race. But the
Senator's aides slapped hard al
this, branding 1t absolute non
sense"

and relaxed, put in a long day
