Vote Residency Cut
To90Doys Duefor Test

Senator Heating will try to
amend the District election law
on the Senate floor to permit
balloting for President and
Vice President by 90-day resi-
dents.
AS reported by the Senate
District Committee, the pro-
poSal carries a one-year resi-
dence requirement alread
cleared by the House.
The New York Republican
has more at stake than just
this amendment. Senate senti-
ment will allow him to gauge
chances of passage for his
resolution to amend the Con-
stitution.
With Senator Kefauver,
Democrat of Tennessee, Sena-
tor Heating has urged a 90
day ceiling on residence re-
quirements, with a proviso that
otherwise qualified voters may
vote in new home areas with
out meeting residence demands
of the laws in those States.
The Heating X efauver
amendment has been reported
favorably by the Constitutional
Amendments Subcommittee of
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee. No action is expected on
either side Of Congress on the
resolution this year.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-09-06

Senate leaders have prom
iSed to schedule a vote on the
District bill this Friday, how
ever.
The local measure would
carry out presidential voting
guarantees of the Twenty-third
Amendment to the Constitu-
ton, ratified this year.
The Senate Committee set
the voting age at 18 and called
for broad absentee voting
privileges. The House accepted
the traditional 21-year-old
voting age and limited absentee
voting to members of the
armed services and Government
employees and their families
stationed overseas.
Senator Heating praised the
Senate Committees version as
progressive in many respects. p"
He saw no justification, how
ever, for disenfranchiSing other
wise qualified voters simply be-
cause they moved shortly before
an election. In Is States, the
one-year residence rule has
been reduced to six months.
Wisconsin, Ohio, California,
Missouri and Oregon have
taken steps to lower residence
requirements for voters in
presidential elections below 90
days.

Howard Will Resign
District RIA Post

Gordon E. Howard, deputy
director Of the District Rede-
velopment Land Agency, will
resign his position soon, he
said today.
The move marks the second
change in the RLA's top jobs
in a few weeks. John R.
Searles, jr., the agency's direc-
tor, announced last month that
he will resign effective in No
vember.
AS deputy director, Mr.. How
ard is the agency's second
ranking executive. Next in line
is Allan B. Elliott, who is as
sistant director.
Makes Way for Successor
Mr.. Howard said he was leav-
ing in order to allow Mr..
Searles' successor to pick his
own deputy. The RLA's board
of directors has not yet named
a replacement for Mr.. Searles,
who is moving to Syracuse,
N. Y, to join private de-
velopment organization.
Mr.. Howard, vino has been
with RIA since October %,
1859, said he probably would
leave about October /.
I'm going to hate to leave"
he said. Its been a very
pleasant experience here. The
RIA staff is one of the most
competent and dedicated I've
ever worked with"
Will Take Federal Post

your own instincts are.

Citizenship
Given Natives
ByPOrtuga! /

r. OPORTO, Portugal, Aug. %
tAP).-Overseas Minister Adri-
ano Moreira announced today a
decree that every native of
Portagal's eight overseas prov
inces is now a fun citizen of
Portugal without distinction
of race. religion or culture"
This decree, to be published
officially soon, is the most
sweeping reform by a Portu-
guese. government since the
abolition of slavery in the
Portuguese territories of Africa
a century ago.
1t primarily affects Negroes
of the African provinceS-in-
Guiding revolt-torn Angola-by
repeating the native statue
under which only natives
achieving a certain level of
education have had full citizen
ship rights. This statute never
applied, for instance, to Portu-
guese India (Goa, Damao and
Giu.
Mr.. Moreira made his an
'nouncement in a speech at the
city hall stock exchange. He
said Portugal aims Simply to
do our duty" in Africa.
I'VE feel we have been right
In our view of the problem of
these territories, which depend
IN observation-disclosures, edu-
cation and capital-on the help
which they can obtain from
abroad" he said.
1t is necessary for Portugal to
increase settlement of Africa,
the minister said, "by European
Portuguese who will make their
homes there" He announced
special provincial settlement
agencies are to be set up in
Angola and Mozambique.
He expressed hope that youths
now doing their military service
in Africa will settle there. He
said Portugal will continue its
policy of racial integration,
inspired as always in the past
by the belief in the equal
dignity of all men, regardless
of their color"
New regulations will govern
the concession of land IN Africa,
the minister said. These will
extend the legal provisions and
guarantee real rights.
He cited the recent abolition
of compulsory growing of
cotton, of penal sanctions for
breach-of-work contracts. and
establishment of m inim u m
wages.

Provdo Sees East Zone
Pact Without DeIoy'

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
said earlier that if the Western
allies did not join Russia in a
peace treaty with both West
and East Germany, the SovietS
would sign a treaty with East
Germany alone by the end of
the year. The Communists said
the Western nations then would
have to negotiate agreements
with the East German regime
for access to West Berlin. The
West refuses to recognize the
East German government and
won't negotiate with it.
Pravda'S second page was
covered with resolutions and
letters from various Soviet
citizens who unanimously de-
clared themselves in favor of
signing a peace treaty. In the
Communist world such "evi-
dence' of popular support fire.
quently precedes the taking of
a major step.

West Reported Ready
To Seek Berlin Talks

BONN. Germany, Aug. %
(AP) - The Western powers
will demand in the next few
days a conference with the So
Wet Union on the Berlin crisis,
West German Foreign Minister
Heinrich Won Bretano said to-
day.
Mr.. Brentano told a news
conference such talks are
needed to make clear the po-
sitions Of both sides before a
catastrophe develops.
He said it should be on the
foreign minister level.
Mr.. Brentano hinted that
differences between France and
the other western powers
about the adviSability of an
immediate conference no long
er exist.
He said the meeting could
be held either before or after
the September II West Ger
man parliamentary elections
and the September 10 opening
of the United Nations Assem-
bly,.
Mr.. Brentano said it was
possible the foreign ministers
of the Western powers should
hold a preliminary meeting to
make preparations for dealing
with the Russians.
He left unanswered a ques-
tion whether there were sny
indications of Soviet agreement
to such a conference.

u. S. Consul Arrested
In Congo, Then Freed

LEOPOLDVILLE. The Congo,
Aug. % (AP).-United States
Consul Thomas cassidy was
arrested in Stanleyville during
the week end and questioned
at gunpoint by CongoleSe
troops, the American embassy
here announced today. 1t said
Mr. cassidy later was released
and now is under protection of
United Nations troops.
According to U. N. sources
the situation in the Lumumbist
stronghold is tense" and
British Consul Donald Bal
lantyne also has been offered
u. N. protection.
Mr.. cassidy was arrested at
Stanleyyille airport FRIDAY
when he attempted to insure
the safety of the American pilot
and co-pilot of an Air Jordon
plane sized by U. N. Ethiopian
troops. The plane was found to
be carrying uniforms and food
and was detained on orders of
Premier Cyrille Adoula's central
Congolese government in Leo
poldville.
This apparently angered a
faction of Congolese troops
nominally under the command
of Gen. Victor Lundula in
Stanleyville. U. N. officials who
searched the plane are believed
to have been roughed up.
Then, when Mr.. cassidy in
'tervened on behalf of the
Evening star., 1961-08-28

planes American crew, he was
arrested. CongoleSe soldiers
held guns at his stomach while
interrogating him. In the gen.
eral confusion at the airport,
Mr.. cassidy managed to talk
his way out and Immediately
sought U. N. protection. He
returned to his consulate, and
this now is surrounded by U. N.
and Congolese soldiers.
(Mr. cassidy, a bachelor,
lived at 3406-A Prospect street
NV. before going to Africa
last April. His family home is
in Baltimore.
(Mr. cassidy, 38, had been
the State Department desk
officer specializing in the af-
fairs of a group of Central
African states, including both
Congos. Earlier he had served
in Tehrean, Pusan and Mar
Unique. He served in the
United States Army overseas
from 1912 to 1945, was gradu-
ated from Princeton in 1947,
and studied at the University
of Paris in 1947-48.)
The tense situation in STAN
leyville has embarrassed the
Congolese government, which
hoped the Lumumbist leader,
Antoine Gizenga, would fly to
Leopoldville in the next few
days and then accompany Mr..
Adoula to Belgrade for the
conference of nonaligned states.

East German police also turn
ed a water thrower on a crowd
of some 80 jeering West Berlin
youths milling close to the con-
crete wall thrown up by the
Reds between West and East
Berlin. The crowd retailiated
with rocks and United States

finally drove the crowd back.
The two isolated skirmishes
we're the only incidents reported
on an otherwise quiet Sunday.
Thousands of Berliners on both
sides of the Chinese wall"
took advantage of warm, sunny
weather for strolling and picnic
outings along the lakes that
fringe the divided city. Many
West Berlin families drove
along the barricade, seeing the
city's newest sight.
American, British and French
troops still patrolled the bar
rier, with the big guns of United
States tanks still pointing
across the wall to the East.
Reds Pull Back ArmOr
But Communist armor, moved
up two weeks ago, was with
drawn from sight of the border.
East German border guards and
police on patrol in the heart
of the city were armed only
with pistols. In the suburban
areas Communist guards pa
trolled the fences with rifles.
Few foreigners and West Ger
mans crossed over into East
Berlin. West Berliners must get
special entry passes. The East
Germans tried to set up offices
to issue these passes over the
week end but they were blocked
by the West Berlin authorities
with the consent of the allied
occupying powers.
Italian Premier Amintore
Fanfani passed along to the
Western Allies a note he re-
ceived from Mr.. Khrushchev in
which the Soviet Premier re-
portedly expressed his willing
ness to negotiate with the West.
ANSA, the Italian news
agency, said Mr.. KhruShchev
confirmed in writing that he
accepted the suggestion by Mr..
Fanfani to start talks between
the Soviet Union and the allied
governments on present inter-
national problems.
West German Defense Min
lister Franz JOSEPH Strauss said
in a political speech in Munster
last night that he is convinced
Mr.. Khrushchev does not want
war.

full means is open," Pravda
said. "All people demand the

and this should be done with

another sentence of the front

termination to achieve a peace
full regulation with Germany
this year and nothing will pre-
vent them from achieving it.
