Wilkins Urges
Kennedy to Seek
Civil Rights Bill

Roy wilkins, executive secre-
tary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Col
ored People, has called on Pres
ident Kennedy to recommend
civil rights legislation to Con-
gress next year.
He issued the statement last
night as chairman of the Lead
erShip Conference on Civil
Rights, an alliance of some SO
national civic, religious and la
Dor organizations.
Specifically, Mr.. Wilkin
asked the President to urge
Congress to pass a law re-
quiring every school district in
the country to submit a plan
providing a start on desegrega-
ton by 1868, the Tooth ami
versary of the Emancipation
Proclamation.
Such legislation was indorsed
in the 1860 Democratic plat
form. Mr.. Wilkins said, Fail

Democratic Party leaders dc

Mann Eases
Byrd Protest

Delegate Harrison Mann OF
Arlington said yesterday he ac-
cepted "in good faith" aSSur-
ances of some Byrd organization
Democratic leaders that they
will not establish a pressure
group within the House of Dele
gates to impose conformity
upon its members"
Mr.. Mann had criticized the
formation of a Self-Styleo
screening committee which met
in Richmond recently. The
committee, composed of organi-
zation Democrats, was set up to
scrutinize legislation coming ur
on the House floor at the 1867
General Assembly, opening next
month.
Mr.. Mann, in a statement
said the study of legislation lis
a legitimate party function sc
long as no attempt is made tc
supersede the role of commit
tees in the consideration anC
disposal of the public's business
There is quite a difference
between a committee designed
to obtain conformity on al
legislation and groups confer.
ring on specific issues as they
come to the floor. There is like
wise a world of difference be-
tween a screening committee
committed to a particular type
of legislation and a party groul
which undertakes to keep al
party members informed, es.
pecially when legislation be-
comes a party matter"

I Mr.. Anderson said that "the
sense of the past is strong at
the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. You feel close to those
men and women who rode this
waterway on their way to open

George Washington first
conceived of the canal, Thomas

John Quincy Adams turned the

between 35 and AZ miles of it.

consideration, although it is
not included in the proposed
budget.
Citizens Appear
Among the dozen citizens at
the hearing were representa-
tives of the Prince Georges
County Municipal Association
and the Montgomery County
Civic Federation.
The Prince Georges group
went on record opposing any
increase in the refuse disposal
rate and asked, if an increase
is unavoidable, that it be de-
layed until next July.
The Montgomery group ac-
cepted the refuse collection
increase but strongly" ques-
toned the necessity at this
time" of the three-cent sewer
increase.

Suburban Sewer Rate
Rise Seen for 2 Years

Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission customers can
expect the proposed sewer usage
rate increase to hold steady at
least through 1868, commission
officials indicated last night.
The prediction came at a
public hearing last night in Hy-
attsville on the commissions
$40.7 million budget for 1862.
The sewer rate will be raised
from 10 to % cents per 1000
gallons of water consumed If
the proposed budget is adopted,
The commission has until jan
uary to act on it.
An increase of SO a year for
refuse collection also is pro-
posed in the budget. The
monthly rate would be raised
from 1925 to $3.50.
Water Rate Stays
The current water rate of
25 cents per 1000 gallons used
would stay the same.
The sewer rate increase may
be little on the surplus side, u
Willard A. Morris, commission
vice chairman, said, but we
don't want to go through the
business of rate changes every
year"
Mr.. Morris said a forecast
indicates the three-cent in
crease will be adequate for
some time. James j. Lynch,
commission treasurer, added
that the boost should hold at
least through 1868.

Omitted Nations representatives
had excellent opportunities to view
Americas weaknesses in human
relations at home while all the ma

throughout the world"
The sit-in movement by Southern

nation of the moral consequences of
the continuing delays in imple-

The non-violent technique used
by the students was not new, but
its application to hahn store lunch
counters was new, "and marked
the beginning Of the only major
youth movement America has
known" the Report said.
The desire of Negro youth to
remove racial barriers "was net

"Negro youth had long chafed un-

always resented the limitations
which prevent them from becom-

"Call to action seemed impera-

or of college, local, or state au-

"Students at private institutions,
in the main, had the sympathetic
understanding of faculty and adj
ministration; but students in pub
lie colleges, where the power struc-

a segregated society, felt the full
weight of executive, judicial and
legislative force"
The Report credits restraint on

were reported as originating overt
