PUBLIC ACCOM-
MODATIONS BILL
KILLED

The controversial public ac-
commodati onS bill dies this week
when one of the spons ors failed
to recall it to the House floor.
Rep. J.D.Holmes ,D-Maricopa,
said that to keep harmony in the
Democratic Party he would not
ask for another vote in this sesS-
ion.
On Monday, the bill failed to
pass with 38 members for it
and 40 against.
Directors said the bill would
not be fair to private business
men and would not aid in the
peaceful ending of discrimina-
tion against minorities.
Proponents argued desegrega-
tion would be more rapid if the
state enacted law with penal
ties in it.
Holmes said he was unable to
get any of the six members of
the Democratic majority bloc
to change his vote against the
bill and felt it was useless to
call for another ballot.

Parks, a second generation house
hold worker at 1900 Pennsylvania
Ave. In Washington.
A Negro, as are most Of the
White House servants, Mrs. Parks
makes some interesting disclos-
ures in her book called my Thirty
Years Baclstage at the White
House.
Nothing ScandaIOus" In Book
Written In collaboration with
Miss Frances spatz Leighton, Of
the American Weekly, the book
contains nothing Of a scandalous
or sensational nature.
Here are some Of the revelations
Of the book:
Mrs. Harry 8. Truman was the
most considerable First Lady In
decades.
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt was
quick to fire servants II they an
gered her.
Mrs. Dwight d. Eisenhower had
a hot temper but never fired any
one.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover kept the
White House In the most turmoil,
because she could never make up
her mind how she wanted things
arranged. ......
Household servants never knew
what to expect next-whether to
hide out or to be seen going about
their duties.
She spiced the book with many
amusing and embarrassing Incl
dents-such as the pregnant wom-
an who showed up at the White
House and claimed Hoover was the
father Of her unborn child.
FDR A "Penny-Pincher
AS for the president, she said:
President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt had great wealth and
gave the impression Of much gen.
crosby, but was a penny-pincher.
He also was very sensitive to the
feelings Of others, q quality that
made him most kind to the help"
Hoover didn't want servants to
be seen or heard The servants had
to dodge into closets. But when
FDR arrived on the scene he gave
the order to stop this and Just
act natural"
Truman was "the most insistani
that we be at ease"
Eisenhower made no effort &c
know all the staff by name, a
Truman and Roosevelt did. And he
had such a temper his wife lived
In fear he would burst out at the
wrong time"
Calvin Coolidge didn't like tc
talk and made his guests feel I'M
welcome. But he told his wife
whom she could see and whom
she could not.
Mrs. Eisenhower 'COnsIderate And
Generous
But Mrs. Parks said Mrs Essen
hover was considerable and gener-
Gus in many ways, and endured
terrible ordeal because Of her
health.
She suffered from headaches
asthma, a heart condition and q
disturbance Of the inner ear upset
her equilibrium and made walking
difficult.
Concerning the latter, Mira.
Parks wrote:
That is why the false rIInoE
occasionally arose that Mrs Eisen-
hover drank to excess. can truth
fully say I have never seen her
drink or seen any after-effects Of
alcohol, nor have I ever noticed
the odor Of alcohol"

whether athletes should boycott a

Robinson told the athletes, head

Boston University, the champion
