Alabama Enucts
Bon on Riders

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug.
IL (AP).-The Alabama Senate
gave swift approval today to q
bill to prohibit Freedom Rides
in Alabama. The house-pasSed
bill was sent to the Governor
for signature.
Members of the upper cham
ber voted 24-0 in favor of the
measure setting a maximum
penalty Of $500 fine and six
months in jail for anyone who
pre-announces and then carries
out a challenge to Alabama's IS
racial barriers.
Specifically, the bill forbids
"any act, gesture or communi-
cation which is calculated to or
will probably so outrage or
transgresS the sense of decency
and morals or so violate or
transgress the pattern of life
and habits of the people Of Ala
bama as to be likely to cause a
riot ..."
The overwhelmingly indorsed
bill, co-sponsored by nearly
every member of the legislature,
does not mention Freedom
Riders by name.
However, supporters admit its
purpose is to discourage segre-
gation-testing bus rides like the
one which touched off bloody
race riots and led to martial
lrule in Montgomery last May.

James P. Mitchell, who was
Secretary Of Labor in the Eli

ways was dubious about the
value of broad labor-manage-
ment committees. He main
tanned that labor-management
problems must be tackled in
dustry by industry.
Mr.. Goldberg's aides empha-

consideration of industry COM

presidential committee aims
baSically at creating a mood OF

the public interest.
But even if the committee
achieves these objectives, Off
cials said, it will be necessary
to devise follow-through tech
niques before the mood can be
transferred and the principles
applied to practical industrial
situations.
That's where individual in

ences may be useful. they said.

The industry committees
would have no formal ties to
the presidential committee,
which would continue in exist
ence. The Labor and Com
merce Departments would
sponsor the committees, serve
as matchmakers to bring the
members together and prob
ably suggest agenda items.
Beyond these functions, the
Government would step aside.
Efforts would be made to
have the committees avoid en-
tanglement in collective bar
gaining disputes and specific
contract negotiations. Since
the auto industry now is in
negotiations and the steel in
duStry is preparing for nego-
tiations, the Government prob
ably would not sponsor auto
