Of Kennedy

who's minding the store?"
Republicans asked today in a
statement critical Of President
Kennedy's travels.
The Republican N a tional
Committees publication Battle
Line" said Mr.. Kennedy has
been away from Washington
almost one-third of the time
his administration has been in
power, despite a campaign
promise that if elected he would
avoid tours and conferences
abroad and go to Washington
"and get this country to work"
Noting a story in the maga-
zine U. S. News & World Report
that as of July 6 Mr.. Kennedy
has been away from Washing
ten 50 days, Battle Line" said:
Kennedy did come to Wash
ington, D. c., but soon took off
on a continuing series of busy
departures to ard arrivals from
Palm Beach, Fla, Middleburg,
Va, Hyannis Port, Mass. Can
ada. London. Paris and Vienna
where the summit he rejected
in November took place in
June"
The publication said Demo-
Gratis and others who criticized
President Eisenhower's rate of
travel "are strangely uuiet
about the much greater rate of
travel of President Kennedy" ."

Chamber Hits
Labor Board
Reorganization
BY the Associated Press

The United States Chamber
Of Commerce today urged the
Senate to veto President Ken
nedy's plan to reorganize the
National Labor Relation s
Board.
Eugene A. Keeney, Washing
ton lawyer for the chamber,
said in testimony perpared for
the Senate Government Opera
tions Committee that the plan
would defeat its own announced
purpoSe-to speed the boards
handling of labor disputes.
The plan would let the board
assign to individual members,
hearing examiners or other en-
ployes much Of the work now
handled by three or more Of
five NLRB members. It would
give the diSputing parties a
limited right to appeal from
the findings. Just how far this
right to delegate work could 60
is in hot dispute.
Mr.. Keeney charged the
measure might vest czarlike
powers in NLRB Chairman
Frank w. McCulloch, 4 claim
the administration already has
denied vigorously. y
A spokesman for 10 State
Chambers in the Council Of
State Chambers of Commerce,
a separate organization, as
sailed the reorganization plan
as dangerous :. destructive
a departure from tradi-
tional, sound. and accepted pat
terms Of administrative au-
thority."
Robert c. Landon of Phila-
delphia, labor relations special
ist for the council, contended
in his prepared testimony that
the proposed changes would
load the courts with more and
more lawsuits challenging de-
ciSions in labor disputes, and
would only slow final decisions
that much more.
Up to now, Mr.. Kennedy has
a 500 average in winning ap-
proval of reorganization plans
quite similar to this one.
Congress has vetoed two of
them-seeking to reorganize
the Securities Exchange Com
mission and the Federal Com
munications Commission. But
it has approved those reorgani-
zing the Federal Trade Com
mission and Civil Aeronautics
Board.

Sentenced at
Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July IL
(AP).-Four Freedom Riders
were fined $500 each and sem
fenced to six months in jail
today by a Municipal Court
Judge who rejected their con-
tentions their arrests violated
their constitutional rights.
Judge Quinn Glover lectured
the four for their bus-riding
assault on Little Rock and
those who would "aggrayate
our people and our situation
here"
Then, he told the riders
two Negroes and two white
persons-he would suspend his
judgment if they would quit
their bus-riding integration
assault on the South and 60
home.
The four accepted the judges
offer and said they would go
home. He instructed police to
see that they follow through.
Judge Glover assailed the
crowd of 800 which gathered at
a bus station for the arrival
Of the riders Monday night.
Within minutes, the riders were
arrested by police when they
refused to clear the Waiting
room.
Judge Glover called the
gathering unlawful" and said
Little Rock people must stop
gathering for purposes such as
this" Little Rock became a
symbol of racial strife in 1857
during its school integration
controversy which eventually
brought out Federal troops.
The Rev. B. Elton Cox, 80,
Of st. Louis, Negro field secre-
tary for the Congress of Racial
Equality, was the only rider to
testify. He told the court the
crowd was orderly but he had
to push his way through to the
waiting room.

Bliss Ann Malone, %, st. Louis
Negro teacher; Mrs. Janet
Reintiz, %. white New York
housewife, and the Rev. John
c. Raines, 27, white pastor Of

arrests because they felt the
riders presented threat to the
peace in the waiting room.

the riders troubles. He said
Negroes had used the white
waiting room at the bus sta
tion for at least three years

Foreign Aid Funds Bill
Faces Possmon DeIoy

year, which began July /, has
gone to the White House.
Foreign aid is now being
financed under this resolution,
but if Mr.. PaSSman's plan
should be followed. another
continuing resolution for for
eign aid would be needed be-
fore the end of August.
Congress is not required to
appropriate the full amount
carried in any authorization
bill, and in the case of foreign
aid Mr.. Passman's subcommit-
tee usually has recommended
appropriations Of less than the
authorized ceilings.
Cuts Passman's Power
A main feature of Mr.. Ken
nedy's new foreign aid author
ization bill is that it would
take a substantial part of the
program out of Mr.. PasSman's
hands by authorizing the
Treasury to borrow the funds
for the Development Loan Fund
during the next five years.
Under the bill the Treasury
could borrow 5000 million this
year and $1.6 billion additional
in each of the next four years.
If Congress gives the Presi-
dent this borrowing authority
in the authorization bill the
Development Loan Fund would
not be affected by a postpone
ment of the followup appro-
priation bill.
Cites Three Reasons
But a delay in the appropria-
ton bill would affect military
aid, grants for economic aid
and the Presidents contingency
fund for emergencies.
In explaining why he is re-
luctant to consider an appro-
priation bill until the House
acts on the authorization bill,
Mr.. Passman gave these rea-
sons:
/. The President has asked
for $1.S billion for military aid
to other countries, together
with discretionary power to
transfer up to $400 million
more from this country'S own
defense budget to foreign aid.
2. The administration is ask
ing for a $500 million presiden-
tial contingency fund, which
Mr.. PasSman said is much high
er than in prior years.
3. The President is asking
for "back-door" spending by
having the Treasury borrow
funds for DLF.
Mr.. PasSman said he is not
passing Judgment at this time
on the amount the President
has requested. He said it may
be he needs more than he has
asked for. But he insisted that
if the President gets the dis
cretion he is seeking in the
authorization bill he could
"circumvent any adjustments
we might make" in a foreign
aid appropriation bill at this
time.
Both the House Foreign Az
fairs and the Senate Foreign
Relations Committees are vot-
ing this week on the authorize
ton bill. The Senate group
hopes to finish the bill by Fri
day, but the House committee
probably will take all Of next
week.

President Kennedy's foreign
aid program faced a new ob-
stacle today with Representa-
tive PaSSman, Democrat OF
Louisiana, threatening to delay
the appropriation which must
follow passage of the authorize
ton bill.
Mr.. PaSSman, chairman of
the House subcommittee which
drafts foreign aid appropria-
tions. suggested he may put
off the money bill until fall,
If he does this he would
limit foreign aid spending in
the meantime to the monthly
rate of last years appropria :
ton. The last Congress ap-
oropriated only $3.8 billion,
while Mr.. Kennedy is asking
SAB billion this year.
Mr.. Kennedy also has asked
authority to borrow an addi-
tional $6.4 billion over the sue
eeeding four years for the De-
velopment Loan Fund.
Mr.. PasSman served notice
in the House yesterday that he
is not scheduling appropriation
hearings until after the House
has acted on the authorization
DILL. which may be three weeks
from now.
He said his reason for the
postponement is that 1T would
be q mockery to hold appro-
priation hearings if the admin
istration gets all that it is ask
ing for" in the authorizing
measure.
Resolution in Effect
When a reporter suggested
that this would leave little time
for appropriation hearings near
the close Of the session, Mr.
PaSsman said he would prefer
to put off his hearings until
fall, when they could be thor
oughly considered. If this were
done. he said, Congress could
pass q resolution continuing ex-
listing appropriations at the
rate approved last year.

Binding of electors - The
Senate proposal requires elec-
tors to vote in the electoral
college for the candidates of
the political party which they
represent. The House does not
bind electors.
The Constitution simply calls
for electors to be chosen in the
States and the District. They
technically choose the PreSi-
dent and Vice President by
their votes in the Electoral Col
lege. The question has arisen
but never has been settled in
the courts as to whether elec-
tors may be bound by specific
language to vote for presiden-
tial candidates in whose names
they themselves were elected.
The House bill follows gen.
orally a draft submitted by
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia. The SEN
ate version, backed, for the
most part by the administra-
ton, also is supported by DEM
ocratic Senators Kefauver Of
Tennessee and Randolph Of
West Virginis~ and Republican
Senator Heating of New York.
This trio, instrumental in
clearing the Twenty Third
Amendment to the Constitution
guaranteeing the vote here,
favors lowering the residence
requirement to six months or
80 days, however. There may
we'll be an amendment pro-
posed on the Senate floor to
put a lower residency require
ment to a test.

AGE AND ABSENTEES
I'd. c. Vote Bills Differ

bill August IA. Here is how
bills reported by the Senate
Committee and passed by the
House compare:
Age-Washington residents
could vote at 18 under the
committee version and at 81
under the House bill.
Residence-One year before
election day in both bills.
Absentee vOting-The Senate
bill permits the board to reg
ulate absentee voting and
registration. Persons physically
unable to appear at registration
or voting places would be able
to mail ballots. This applies
as we'll to military and civilian
personnel of the Government,
and private businessmen called
out of town on election day or
stationed away from the city.
The House bill would grant
absentee voting rights only to
military personnel. Govern
ment employees and their
families, stationed overseas.
Minority parties-Both bills
would allow listing on the
ballot of any party whose
candidates had been elected
President after January /, 1850,
or those .petitioned onto the
ballot by at least 5 per cent of
registered voters.
Listing of electOrs-Presi-
Dental and vice presidential
electors would be excluded from
the ballot under the Senate
bill and included by the House
bill.

Senate and House versions of
a presidential elections bill for
the District differ on two i'm
portant detailS-voting age and
absentee balloting.
Chances of agreement this
session are considerably en-
hanced, however, by precisely
the same approach in both bills
to organizing the Capital City's
first presidential election.
The District Board of Elec-
tionS would be given broad
powers to insure efficiency and
honesty at the polls. The alter
native approach-Writing elec-
ton rules into the law-has
been discarded in both branches
of Congress.
Senate District Committee
men, in reporting their bill yes
terday, also accepted House res
idency and minority party
qualifications. This offers a
considerable area for give and
take in a Senate House con-
ference, which probably will
have to be called to clear the
legislation this session.
On residency and minority
party requirements, the Senate
Committee rejected President
Kennedy's recommendations.
Other key provisions of the ad-
miniStration's bill, more liberal
than the House version, were
approved by the Senate Com
mittee.
A Senate vote is expected
within days. The House ap-
