Weaver Sees
Chance
For Renewal

The administrator of the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency said today that the
new housing legislation passed
by both branches Of Congress
"offers us the greatest oppor-
tunity we have ever had to
really move forward in housing
and urban affairs"
Robert c. Weaver told the
Potomac chapter of the Ma
tional Association of Housing
and Redevelopment Officials
that the legislation "is the cul-
mination of the dreams and
efforts Of many, many people
many Of them right here in
this room today" .
Similar housing bills ap-
proved by the Senate and the
House of Representatives have
now been sent to a conference
committee. Both measures are
approximately what President
Kennedy recommended.
Urban Grandeur FOreseen
Mr.. Weaver said that "after
years of daring to move only
haltingly and Intellectually. we
are now ready to wage a four
year battle to reclaim an urban
greatness that has been slip
ping away from us, and achieve
an urban grandeur we have
not yet known"
He said that I'VE will have
two and perhaps two and half
billion dollars, more than has
been spent in the past IL
years, available over the next
four years to cities with the
imagination and the energy to
undertake urban renewal"
For the first time, Mr..
Weaver said, cities will be able
to put urban renewal planning
on an orderly budget basis.
Planning Ahead Prevented
He said that previously cities
have been unable to plan ahead
because they were never sure
Of funds until the last minute.
Discussing q provision in the
measure which provides for the
insurance Of long-term loans
to rehabilitate older houses, Mr..
Weaver said that this presents
an opportunity ito reclaim and
preserve that vast treasury of
sound but dilapidated housing
built up in our cities over the
past 200 years. h
mo longer need we see that
treasury of irreplaceable hous-
ing shamefully neglected and
allowed to deterioate bees use
there was no way to restore it
to economic usefulness"
Discussing his own agency,
Mr.. Weaver described it as "a
bureaucratic monstrosity."
Coordination Ignored
He said that Congress has
piled" one urgently needed
program after the other into
the HHFA with Every little
thought to coordination be-
tween them.
I'VE have finally reached the
point where it is imperative
that some order be introduced
into the chaos, If the Housing
and Home Finance Agency is
to accomplish the detectives
with which it has been charged.
THE creation of the new De-
partment of Urban Affairs and
Housing is the Presidents pro-
posal for accomplishing this"
Mr.. Weaver, who repeatedly
would be named to head the
new department If it is created,
said that the HHFA has gross
expenditures larger than seven
of the present 10 executive de-
partmentS, and is operating
programs Of direct concern to
10 per cent Of the people in

NEA FavorinQ
Mild Policy
0nInteuration

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June
27 (AP) The National Edu-
cation Association, whose ranks
have been split in the past by
bitter battles over school inte-
grafton, appears ready this
year to take a stand on the
issue with a minimum of bick-
ering.
The powerful Resolutions
Committee of the NEA con-
vention has offered tire strong
est policy statement on the
issue in NEA history.
1t falls far short Of what
many Negroes and many
Northern and Western whites
would like. However, it seems
to have at least token sup
port from them, and from
Southern whites as we'll.
The policy statement was
offered at an open meeting of
the Resolutions Committee
yesterday. In contrast to past
years, its reception was mild.
No one, Of course, dares pre-
dict what the 5000 voting
delegates will do when the
resolutions come up for a vote
Friday.
Strong" by Comparison
This years resolution appears
strong" only by comparison
with action at other NEA con-
ventions. It is the first one
ever to carry even a hint OF
action by the NEA.
1t directs the officers and
directors of the association "tc
be alert to the possibilities for
planning and initiating actions
which will, among other things
assure the maintenance oi
free public schools; promote
good will, fairness and respect
for law; offer possibilities of
reducing hostility"
The NEA, with a member
ship Of 765,000 educators,
never has said fatty that it
approves the 1854 Supreme
Court integration decision.
In previous years, the NEA
has settled for statements SIM
liar to one adopted last year in
Los Angeles, urging that "all
citizens approach the matter
OF desegregation in the public
schools with the spirit of fair
ness, good will and respect for
law"
When the meeting was
thrown open for discussion,
there was a parade of delegates
to the microphone, urging q
stronger stand.
Both Sides Acquiesce
Unlike past years, however,
no Negro pleaded that the NEA
take a firm stand supporting
the Supreme Court decision. No
Southern educator took the
floor and asked, Let us work
this out in our own way"
If the same spirit holds Fri
day, the resolution will pass in
a breeze.
Vernon Mcdaniel. executive
secretary of the Teachers State
Association, a Negro affiliate
Of the NEA, told reporters the
proposed statement includes
most of the points the Negroes
had asked for.
Don't say we are satisfied
with it," he said, Lets just
say this is a resolution we can
live with"
From all indications, the
Southern whites feel the same
way.

Crime-T trapping Bills
Face Senate Revision

Attorney General Robert
Kennedy has been warned that
his seven bills to help trar
gamblers and encourage reluc-
tant government informers are
in for a rewriting in the Sen
ate.
At the close of hearings yes
terday, Senate Judiciary Com
mitteemen made it clear they
wanted to tighten the language,
If not the effect, Of most of the
measures.
Considerable time was taken
at hearings by two Southern
Senators who claimed the Ken
nedy anti-crime program en-
dangered individual liberties,
Cites Dangers
Senators Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, and Johnston,
Democrat Of South Carolina
aimed this charge at the bill
introduced by the civil liberties
champion, Senator Hart, DEM
ocrat of Michigan, at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Kennedy.
The bill would impose q
$4,000 fine or five years i'm
prisonment on persons who in
timidated by threats or force
any citizen in order to impede
a Government inquiry.
Threats vanish with the
speaking on empty air." Sen
ator Erwin said. This proposal
creates crimes out Of words un-
accompanied by acts. It is fun
damentally dangerous-tyran-
ny often uses forms of criminal
law to suppress people it op-
poses"
Senator Johnston said a man
could be convicted under the
bill on the basis Of what was
said in a private conversation
which could be easily misunder-
stood.
Republican Criticism
From the Republican side OF
the committee table, the criti-
cism was extended by Senator
Hruska, Republican of Ne
braska.
"A conviction would not flow
from the word of one mar
against another. 1t would be
the word of one man against
another clothed in the majesty
of government, one who could
say I not only heard him
made a note of it,
This bill could impose the
tyranny of bureaucracy tc
which we should not subject
our citizens" Senator Hruska
concluded.
Their concern with individ-
ual rights was at least equalled
by their dismay at broadening
the law to deal with inquiries

works. You can at least en-
Joy making a good grade.
To satisfy an English pro-
fessor's exacting require
ments you must think Of q
great deal more than merely
how good the story is. Here
are some questions to ask
yourself when you are read
ing a novel, q play, a short
story:
What Is the theme?
What is the setting?
Who is the central char
acter and how does his life
change in the course OF the
work?
Is the dialogue realistic?
What is the turning point
Of the story?
Where Is the climax-the
point where q final decisive
action is taken?
Is there a particularly vivid
description?
Does the author have man
nerisms that distinguish his
style?
English professors are q
shifty lot. however. Try to
find out what you are sup
posed to learn from your
reading under q certain pro-
fessor. You may be able to
get Q ray Of intelligence
from tests given to previous
classes. In any event. you'll
find out when he gives your
first quiz. Take the hint and
study the sort Of things he
Is interested in.
Pointers on Languages
Beyond that, keep In mind
these points:
. While reading q literary
work. keep the authors name
and the title Of the book in
the background Of your
thinking space.
. Think Of the characters as
the inventions Of the author.
Use the authors name and
the characters name in the
same thought. Shakespeare

ing today's exercise, you may
fall into the trap Of simply
memorizing equivalent words.
You can get the current as
signment that way, perhaps,
but the words won't stick
and so, what do you do on
exam day?
Jane had truoble with high
school French. She was able
to do the daily translations
but got low grades on tests.
Her memory for vocabulary
held water for two or three
weeks at the most. Each
assignment required endless
reference to the French
English dictionary.
We suggested that she use
the mental picture technique,
try thinking in French, and
attempt her reading in a new
way.
Q She was to stop at the end
Of each page or paragraph
and fecite the meaning to
herself.
o II the first reading did
not produce clear under
standing, she was to glance
through the material, picking
out unfamiliar words.
Q She was to give each Of
these words the thorough
thought process suggested for
vocabulary study.
o Then he was to read a
second time for understand
ing.
Q At points where written
tranSlations were required,
she was to translate without
referring to previous work.
Jane tried it this way, with
the excellent results you can
expect when you apply simple,
common-sense principles in
solving q problem. Jane
started getting "A'S." Jane
learned to learn.
Obviously, there Is q bit
more to the business Of read
ing than being able to devour
rapidly page after page Of
print. Good reading Is an
organized undertaking reQuir-
ing preparation, purpose,
discipline and drill.

What causes it? That is
the most important question

swer. For relief depends upon
correct diagnosis.
Acute gaStritis Is usually
due to indescretions - like
overeating. oversmoking or
imbibing too much alcohol.
Spoiled food is sometimes a
cause.
The cure is obvious: Cut
ting out the bad habits and
giving the overburdened and
insulted stomach a rest. A
bland diet, free OF condi-

scribed to combat excess
acidity and to relieve spasm

When we come up against
the problem of chronic gas
tritis we must search for more
than bad habits. Quite often
the stomach suffers indirect
ly from disease of neighbor-

rule out (check for) such
conditions as a faulty gall
