Congressman Briefed
By Kennedy on Laos

While both sides in the fight
ing over the little Southeast
Asia kingdom have agreed to
a cease-fire, there are no signs
that the shooting is likely to
stop Immediately.
The Communist rebels, in
fact, have stepped up attacks
on the pro-Western govern
ment forces.
Mr.. Salinger said that about
a do9en Senate and House lead
ers, Democrats and Republicans
alike, were brought in for con-
sultation with Mr.. Kennedy.
The meeting was held directly
after a session of the National
Security Council, the second in
six days. .. ....
Republicans have been saying
they wanted to be let in on
policy developments and de-
cisions with respect to Cuba,
and certainly they would want
the same as to Laos.

BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy today
ordered an inquiry to find out
whether Negro Democrats were
barred from a Embarrassing
dinner in Columbia, s., c.. last
night at which Secretary Of
Commerce Hodges spoke.
1--WE are looking into the
matter to see whether Negroes
were in fact barred" White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger said. He would only
say that people at the White
House" are doing the looking.
AS a general policy, Mr..
Salinger said, cabinet men,
bers should not speak at func-
tions where people Of any race
are barred because of race.
Mr.. Salinger, in response to
an inquiry, said Mr.. Kennedy
read accounts this morning Of
a controversy over whether
Negroes were barred and di-
rected that it be looked into.
Negroes complained they were
unable to buy tickets for the
dinner and five of them picket
ed the Wade Hampton Hotel
where the dinner was held. Mr..
Hodges made his speech, as
scheduled, but later issued a
statement saying the question
of a segregated or non-Segre-
gated meeting was not men
toned when he agreed to ad-
dress the dinner. -
Question on Policy
AS a cabinet member in the
Kennedy administration, Mr..
Hodges added, II would not
knowingly attend 9 public
meeting which was deliberately
or arbitrarily segregated"
Mr.. Salinger was pressed as

age which said the principle of
unwavering integrity on the
part Of public officials must be
followed not only in reality but
in appearance"
The President called for IAN
absolute prohibition" against
ex parte or back-door contacts
in proceedings before regulatory
agencies.
He also requested Congress to
broaden existing laws relating
to claims against the Govern
ment so as to include the use
Of influence or inside inform
ton in such proceedings as ap-
plications for radio and tele-
vision licenses, airline routes
and electric power sites.
Would Bar Switching Sides"
In another major recommen-
dation the President urged
Congress to bar forever any
individual from representing
private interests in any matter
which was before him in his
Government service. Such a
prohibition against switching
sides" would be extended to in
clude representation in courts.
While asking for a general
tightening up on statutes and
practices involving conflict of
interests, the President also
proposed notifications of exist
ing laws that would make it
easier to recruit qualified ex-
pertS for Government service as
consultants or in part time po-
Sitions.
At the same time the Presi-
dent said he will issue a series
Of executive orders and mem
oranda designed to set stand
ards Of ethics in the executive
branch.
viii Name Co-ordinator
Mr.. Kennedy said he was in
Structing each cabinet member
and agency head to issue regu-
lations designed to maintain
high moral and ethical stand
ards. He also said he intends
to designate in the White House
a single officer to coordinate
such activities and report di-
rectly to him.
Regulation of ethical con-
duct" the President said, must
be co-ordinated in order to in
sure that all employees are held
to the same general standards
of conduct"
The President did not indi-
cate whom he would name to
this position. There was some
speculation that it might be
James M. Lands, 81, former
dean of the Harvard Law
School. Last December Mr..
Lands prepared for Mr.. Ken
nedy a report on the regulatory
agencies.

GToV. AImOn0 OF virginia mas
called a top-level conference of

Federal Governments latest
move to force reopening of
Prince Edward County's public
schools.
The Justice Department asked
a Federal court in Richmond

yesterday to be permitted to
join Negro plaintiffs in the
Prince Edward case and to bar
State funds from all public
schools in Virginia until idle
classes in the county are re-
opened, on a desegregated
basis.
The new development, which
could affect public schools
throughout Virginia, brought
expressions of fear from some
lawmakers that I'VE may be
forced back down the trail of
massive resistance"
Such expressions came from
some who, as loyal" Demo-
Gratis, had supported the elec-
ton of President Kennedy last
year and who had backed Gov.
Almonds more moderate free
dom-of-choice school program
to replace massive resistance.
Move Is Unusual
The motion by Attorney Gen.
eral Robert F. Kennedy to
allow the Government to inter-
vene as a co-plaintiff in the
case was unusual. Mr.. Ken
nedy said the Government has
taken part in many school
cases as a friend Of the court"
but never before has entered
such litigation as an active
plaintiff.
Federal Judge Oren r. Lewis
had set May 8 for further argu-
ments on the earlier suit in
which Negroes seek to reopen
county public schools closed
since June, 1859. Judge Lewis
is expected to hear arguments
on the Governments motion on
that date.
Gov. Almonds action in CALL
ing a conference tomorrow
came after he conferred today
with DR.. Woodrow w. Wilker-
son, State superintendent of
public instruction, and Fred
