President Kennedy may ask
Congress to act on civil rights
proposals next year, Senator
Mansfield. Democrat of Mon
tana. said yesterday.
Senator Mansfield. the Sem
ate Democratic leader, said he
did not know which OF several
controversial proposals ad-
vanced by the Civil Rights
Commission might be sponsored
il the President decides to seek
action.
Republicans who class them
selves as liberals have criticized
Mr.. Kennedy for not recon-
mending any new civil rights
legislation. Some of them have
indicated they intend to make

Kennedy May Push
Civil Rights Proposals

this an issue in next years con-
greSsional campaign.
Attorney General Kennedy
has been under pressure from
some Democrats to come up
with specific legislative sugges-
tons. But he is reported ia
have delayed any decision until
early next year.
In a series of reports, the
Civil Rights Commission has
called, among other things, fol-
legislation to ban racial dis
elimination in labor unions. II
has proposed legislation to
make completion of a sixth
grade education sufficient quail
ification to pass literacy voting
tests. 1t has asked for Federal
action to require local school
boards to comply with the
Supreme Courts integration
ruling.
Orders Asked
The commission also has
urged the President to issue
orders against segregation in
the National Guard, to insure
Negroes equal job opportunities
on all Federally subsidized
projects. and to bar segregation
in Government-aided housing
The commissions legislative
recommendations are of a ma
ture that could be expected to
provoke a Southern Democratic
filibuster If they ever reached
the Senate floor.
There also apparently would
be strong opposition from Or
ganized labor against the COM
missions recommendation that
Congress write into the Labor
Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act a provision bar
ring any union from refusing
membership to ANY person be-
cause Of race. color, creed or
national origin"
The AFL-CIO already has re-
jected proposals to penalize
unions that refuse to lower ra-
cial barriers. 1t favors a VOL
untary program.
No Curb Seen
Senator Mansfield told a re-
porter he sees no likelihood
that the Senate will amend its
anti-filibuster rule in the next
session to make 1t easier to get
civil rights legislation up for
action. This rule, No. %. re-
quires two-thirds approval of
those voting to obtain a debate
limitation.
The Senate failed in the clos.
ing days Of this years session
to get a debate limitation so
that it could consider a pro-
posal to end talk with the af-
firmative support of three
fifths of those voting. This
proposal remains on the calen-
dar.
Senator Hart. Democrat of
Michigan, an advocate Of pass
ing additional civil rights legis-
lation, said in a separate inter-
view he fears Senator Mansfield
has the situation sized up cor
rectly.
I'VE would only be kidding
ourselves if we thought that
we are going to get Rule %
changed in the next session."
Senator Hart said. 1T Just
doesn't seem to be in the cards."
Senator Hart said he thinks
a new effort should be made
to pass civil rights legislation,
nevertheless. He said he had
not had an opportunity yet to
study the commissions recon-
mendations.

Roads Is Banned

The Prince George County
Commissioners banned over
night parking of large trucks
on county roads yesterday.
They approved an ordinance
specifically forbidding truck
parking between 6 pm. and s
am. each week day and at any
time on Sundays and holidays.
The ban does not apply to
vehicles making deliveries if
they park under a two-hour
period, lightweight and panel
body trucks.
Illegally parked trucks are
subject to being towed away
and impounded after a 24-hour
period, and owners would be
charged for towing and storage.
The fine for a violation was at
a 500 limit and/or 10 days in
Jail.
No one appeared for the
scheduled public hearing in Up
per Marlboro on the ordinance.
The commissioners passed it
unanimously.

mary of Albertis S. Harrison,
jr., for Governor; State Sena-
tor Mills E. Goodwin, jr., for
Lieutenant Governor, and State
Senator Robert Y. Button for
attorney general.
In his first public statement
on the primary campaign, Rep
resentative Harrison said "it is
my considered Judgment that
Harrison, Goodwin and Button
more nearly represent the sound
thinking views of the citizens
of the 7th congressional district
than do their opponents.
1.-THE opposition ticket has
ridiculed Harrison, Goodwin and
Button as being of a rural back
ground and rural outlook. They
do have a rural background,
but this, I submit, doe not in
any way disqualify them from
being good executives for the
State of Virginia"
Candidate Harrison dis
claimed any credit for the large
crowd and said it was a tribute
to Senator Byrd and State SEN
ator Harry F. Byrd, jr., "who
have been active in the leader
ship of Virginia government the
past half century"
The personal support of both

sideration of the County Coun-
Gil.
Supt. C. Taylor Whittier
asked the council to view the
proposal as a possible means
"of making more extensive use
of existing school facilities"
DR.. Whittier's plan calls for
three IL : week sessions of
school, each separated by a
month Of vacation. By divid-
ing attendance into four stag
gered cycles, according to the
official, school buildings would
be in full use the entire year.
Operation of schools the
year round" DR.. Whittier
stated in a report to the coun-
Gil, would help to meet this
need (for additional facilities)
as well as offer the opportunity

He declared that if the plan

ty school system, "a major part
of the need for new school

five years. would be alleviated.
Councilmen took no action
on the proposal, which DR..
Whittier has commended for
full-scale study this year, but
directed County Manager
Mason A. Butcher to discuss
it with school officials.
In other action, the council
turned down a proposed ordi-
nance which would have re-
quired the fencing of all swim
ming pools in the county. Coun-
cilmen decided there was no
urgent need for such legisla-
ton.

The Three Golden Balls

the stroke of midnight another
Christmas parcel was thrown
through the chimney and
landed on the hearth. The no
bleman jumped up wide
awake, and picked it out Of
the ashes. He could hardly be-
lieve his senses when he found
it was another ball of gold
pieces.
He rubbed his eyes as If he
were still dreaming. But no
there could be no mistake.
Here was another small for.

This time the count made
careful inquiries and discov-
cred that he was not the only
person who shared the char
ity of the unknown b~enefac-
tor. Many other people who
needed help, especially the
little children of the poor, had
received mysterious presents
while they we're asleep on
Christmas Eve. But nobody
knew who it was that remem-
bered them so generously.
"He must be a saint or an
angel from heaven" they ex-
claimed.

mas the nobleman sat before
the empty hearth in the castle
dining hall but this time he
did not fall asleep. He was de-
termined to discover who the
mysterious benefactor really
was. When the midnight hour
drew near, he was trembling
with excitement.
He was not disappointed.
With a loud thump another
heavy ball of gold came down
the chimney. He did not wait
to pick it up but ran as fast as
he could out into the street.
He was just in time to see
the shadowy figure climbing
down the castle wall, stop,
please stop" he called but the
unknown dropped to the
ground and hurried away
through the rear gate.
Down the street after him
ran the nobleman, for he'd
made up his mind he was not
going to miss this chance to
solve the mystery. In the
moonlight he could see that
the stranger wore a long black
cloak and cape which cover
ed him from head to foot.

kept shouting but the other
only sped the faster. Sudden
ly he darted around a corner
and into a doorway. The
count caught him by the heel.

in his hands. Upstairs, his
three daughters had gone sup
PEERLESS to bed.
DESPITE THE FINE stone
palace in which they lived and
the high rank to which they
belonged, the nobleman and
his children were desperately
poor. His entire fortune had
been swept away some time
ago. The nobleman's thoughts
were centered upon his chill
dren rather than himself.
"What will become of my
three poor little girls?" he
said to himself sadly. And, in
deed, the future seemed
hopeless. Unable to work and
with no means TO support
them, they had nothing to look
forward to. His pride would
not permit him to beg the help
of other mobiles and he real
lied that the worldly lords
and ladies OF his station in
society would consider his
family disgraced because they
were no longer wealthy.
LOST IN HIS GLOOMY
meditations, the nobleman re-
NAMED in his chair while the
hours slipped by, unheeded.
Outside the streets grew de-
serted and silent. Everybody
had gone home. Finally, his
head sank on his chest and he
fell asleep.
Suddenly he was awakened
at midnight by a strange
sound. Someone had hurled
something down the chimney.
The mysterious package lay
on the empty hearth before
him. He jumped up and look
ed wildly around. When he
discovered the parcel he was
afraid TO open 1t at first. Who
could tell what it might con-
tain or what enemy might
have sent it rolling down in
that queer manner!

iosity overcame his fright and

thinking sound when he hand
led it. Quickly he united the
string and emptied the con-
tents of the ball, Imagine his
establishment and delight
when he saw a pile of gold
pieces.
Again il was Christmas eve
and the nobleman had come
once more to the end of his
money. His daughters mar,
riage had taken the greater
portion of the mysterious gift
and now he was faced with
the same hopeless prosnects
as before. Again he remained
before the cherries empty

him.
