Congo Strips Gizengo
Of Deputy Premier Job

In Leopoldville, the U. N. an
nounced the capture of 18 more
of Mr.. Gizenga's soldiers at
Stanleyville. This brought to
more than 300 the number Of
Gizengist troops rounded up
since the central government
moved against the pro-Com-
munist leader last week end.
Mr.. Gizenga is now believed
to be without military support
in Stanleyville.
The U. N. said its Ethiopian
troops who surrounded Mr..
Gizenga's residence in Stanley
vile have withdrawn, leaving
him under the guard of 13
central government soldiers.
In Elisabethville, the U. N.
command and the Katanga
government announced the
exchange last night of all
prisoners captured in December
fighting in that secessionist
province.
Ten Swedish, two Norwegian
and 2 Irish soldiers were turned
over by Katanga authorities,
and the U. N. gave up 33 Ka-
tanganS.
The exchange was seen as
evidence of the growing CO.
operation between the U. N
Congo command and the seces-
sionist government headed by
Mr.. Tshombe.

Medical Care
Bill This Year
BY j. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy made il
clear to Democratic leaders at
the White House today that he
is not giving up the fight for
medical care to the aged under
social security and Federal aid
to grade schools this year.
These are two of the most
controversial items on the
Presidents legislative program,
and the fate of both probably
will be decided in the House.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield said the President
showed great interest in the
medical care bill and wants it
passed this year if possible"
The Senator said Mr.. Ken
nedy also reaffirmed his inter-
est in the Federal aid to ele-
mentary schools bill, which has
passed the Senate, but has
made little headway in the
House.
Speaker Mccormack told re-
porters the President also listed
five other bills on which early
action will be sought. These
are:
Combining all housing activi-
ties in a new Department of
Urban Affairs, which is on the
Senate calendar.
A five-year, $2.6 billion COL
lege loan bill to aid higher edu-
cation with new classrooms and
student scholarships. This bill
also is on the Senate calendar
and is scheduled for floor de-
bate January 20.
An increase in postal rates to
reduce the postal deficit, which
is slated as the first major bill
in the House next week. AS re-
ported from committee, it would
raise $500 million, mainly by
increasing first-claSS stamps
from 4 to S cents. On the House
floor, administration leaders
will try to raise the money in
other categories.

mites for boys and girls unable

The President has been re-
ceiving a procession of re-
porters in private so they can
question him about his state of
mind on the first anniversary
of his assumption of office.
Yesterday at his press con-
ference, someone asked him a
public anniversary question,
and he gave a rather short
answer.
It could have been a SIM
pie surfeit of If you had it to
do over again." Or else it could
be that the President is like
any other man in that his mood
on a rainy Monday does not
bear too close an investigation.
He indicated that the week
could go either way, and he
was approaching it-just as he
does the tangle of problems on
his desk-somewhat warily.
The Serious Mein
The President was wearing a
gray suit, which just about
matched his frame of mind. He
looked a trifle tired, and while
he in no way conveyed the de-
preston that seemed to weigh
him down at the worst of the
Berlin crisis in the late sum-
mer, he wasn't exactly cele-
brating his first year in office,
either.
So when someone inevitably
asked him about the rewards
and disappointmentS of the
first IL months, he sighed a
little, and acted as though he
had heard the question often
recently.
The answer was most inter-
eSting because, in choosing the
most conspicuous plus and
minus, he took both examples
from foreign policy. His state
of-the- Union speech, last
Thursday was overwhelmingly
weighted in favor of domestic
matters, but his reply yesterday
showed that world problems
remain his greatest preoccupa-
ton. And his own true
measure of his performance.
The most Disappointing event
was "our failure to get an
agreement on the cessation Of
nuclear testing" The most
heartening to him is "the
greater suggestion for unity in
the Western nations and in our
relations with Latin America"
and "also 1 think it has become
more obvious that people do
desire to be free and inde-
pendent"
II have had other disappoint-
mentS," he added wryly.
There was certainly no swag-
ger there.
Afterthought
One device the President has
perfected in his press confer
ences, which are rather lost
in the majestic, antiseptic
reaches of the New State De-
partment auditorium, is of
making claim of virtue almost
as an afterthought.
His predecessor, President Eli
senhoWer, was won't to begin

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy today asked for more
Legislation to strengthen the
Governments drive to dry up
gambling income.
Testifying before the House
Commerce Committee, he called
for a tougher law to curb the
shipment of pinball machines
and other devices directly or
indirectly used for gambling
The measure already has passed
the Senate.
Questioned on Maryland
Under questioning by Repre-
sentative Friedel, Democrat of
Maryland, the Attorney General
said Maryland would not be
exempt from the provisions of
the proposed measure; despite
the local option to gamble in
four counties.
Mr.. Friedel disagreed with
this Interpretation, but Mr..
Kennedy was supported after
the hearing by a man who
should know, Edgar S. Kalb,
owner of Beverly Beach. Mr..
Kalb said Maryland had been
covered by Federal anti-gam-
bling laws since the johnson
Act of 1851. Since then, he
said, he has been unable to
import parts from out of the
State and has obtained his
machines from the Ace Manu-
featuring Co. of Glen Burnie,
Md.
Like the johnson Act, the
amendments proposed by Mr..
Kennedy are limited to inter-
state shipments of gambling
devices. Intra- state activity
prompted several committee
members to ask what would
happen if a gadget was at

night made it clear that it was
not"
| In one of the main speeches,
Attorney Charles P. Tittmann
said the move to bring Mr.
Rowan into the club was backed
by "egalitarian exhibitionists. -
He criticized them for airing the
controversy in the press, saying
it was the first time in the
clubs history that a private
matter had become "a public
brawl."
He described the resolution
as simply an expression Of
sentiment and said the admis-
sion committee members "can
still do as they damn please" "
Large Turnout
The large turnout for the
meeting filled the club audi
torium and overflowed into the
dining room, where a loud
speaker system had been in
stalled to broadcast the pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Lindley, a State Depart
ment colleague of Mr.. Rowan,
said that if the adoption of the
resolution failed to bring re-
consideration of Mr.. Rowan's
membership bid, further action
might be taken. Such action,
he said, could take the form
Of an amendment to the club
bylaws permitting the admis-
sions committee to accept new
members by majority or two
thirds vote.
At present, the adverse votes
of two of the admissions COM
mittee's IL members are suf-
ficient to bar an applicant
from membership.
In related development, the
Cosmos Club members yester-
day elected five new members of
the admissions committee, all
of them indorsed by the ma
jority of the present admissions
committee.
Chosen from the 11-man field
were Ferdinand Kuhn, DR..
Robert H. Felix, Fred L. Moh-
ler, William T. Pecora and
E. A. j. johnson.
All five had indicated in
answers to privately circulated
query that they would ignore
race, religion and national
origin in choosing among fu-
ture applicants for membership.
Bill introduced
The controversy over the club
was reflected on Capitol Hill
yesterday when a bill to refuse
District liquor licenses, tax ex-
emptions and occupancy Ger
tificates to organizations prac-
ticing racial discrimination was
introduced in the House by
Representative Zalenko, Dem
ocrat of New York. He said:
THE deplorable practice OF
certain groups. in the Dis
trict, which practice discrimi-
nation, are hindering the efforts
of this administration and Gov
ernment in our ceaseless effort
to project an image of true
democracy throughout the
world"

tacned within a State to make
an otherwise-innocent machine
into gambling device.
The Attorney General ac-
knowledged that that could be-
come big problem and he said
he would look into the possi-
bility of an amendment to cover
such a case.
Mr.. Kennedy said laws passed
at the last session had made a
dent in gambling profits and
the new measure will help us :
go further" =
These enormous profits,
estimated in the hundreds of
millions annually" he said,
have attracted crime syndi-
Gates to gambling. Some have
become so rich and powerful
that they have outgrown local
authority.
There has been collusion be-
tween some public officials and
these syndicates. Coercion has
been used against owners of
legitimate establishments to
have a syndicate gambling de-
vice on the premises"
Ingenuity of Gamblers :
Eleven years of experience in
enforcing the old law, he said,
enforcing the johnson Act, he
said, has revealed serious flaws
and loopholes. The ingenuity
of the gamblers, he added, has !.
proved more than equal to the =
1851 law.
Certain amusement devices, :
he told the committee, are really
subterfuges to conceal gam
bling activities.
He explained that the ma
chimes are so set that they can
be cleared" of the accumu-
lated free game" credits and,
by means of a meter, record the
number of free games" cleared.
The owner or his agent then
makes the payoff.
The proposed amendments,
he added, also broaden the reg
istration requirements for those
dealing in gambling devices,
expand the ord-keeping re-
quirements and set up a new
numbering system for the ma
chimes to make it easier for law
enforcement officers to trace
the chain of ownership.

membership on account of re.
ligion, color, race, or national
origin is incompatible with the
principles of the Cosmos Club.
A club spokesman said the
resolution was adopted by "ar
overwhelming voice vote, with
only a few scattered nos"
1t made no reference to the
decision by the clubs Admis-
sions Committee on January 8
against the proposed member
ship of Carl Rowan, Deputy As
sistant Secretary of State for
Public Affairs.
May Be Reconsidered
But Ernest K. Lindley, a
spokesman for the group back
ing the resolution, said, "some
of us are hopeful that in the
light of this resolution his
nomination may be recon-
sidered."
Other club officials, however,
said they doubted the resolu-
ton would have any direct ef-
feet on Mr.. Rowan's member
ship bid. They pointed out
that club bylaws would post
pone reconsideration of his
case for at least a year.
Informed OF the clubs action,
Mr.. Rowan said he had moth
ing to add to the statement he
made when the rejection of his
membership was disclosed. Mr..
Rowan had said then:
"If it is the intellectual
judgment of the membership
committee that I do not merit
membership, I can do no more
than note their judgment and
wish the club we'll"
Several designations
Rejection of Mr.. RoWan'S
bid led to the resignation from
the club of a number of high
Kennedy administration Off
cials and other permanent
members.
One of those who quit was
John Kenneth Galbraith,
United States Ambassador to
India, who had sponsored Pres
ident Kennedy for membership.
When the question arose at his
news conference yesterday, Mr..
Kennedy said:
II have said from the begin
ming that I thought this was a
personal matter which involved
not only the members of this
Government, but involves every
one in the city and everyone
in the country, and every in
dividual must make his judg-
ment in the way he believes to
be right, and I have stated that
my application for the Cosmos
Club was not being renewed"
The anti-diScrimination reSo-
luton was proposed by NAL
colin C. Henderson. a teacher
at Catholic University and him
self a former chairman of the
clubs admission committee.
During the hour-long debate
that followed, 10 or IL members

ton to it.
