WASHINGTON.-The National
Association for the Advancement
of Colorcd People has called upon
IL members of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee to prevent the
Committee chairman, Senator
James o. Eastland, from conduct
Ing a probe into the rioting at the
University of Mississippi last
week.
In identical kilograms to the
Senators, dispatched October 2,
Clarence Mitchell, director of the
NAACP Washington bureau,
charged that the Mississippi
Senator's proposal for a Sena-
torial investigation "can have no
other purpose but to give com.
fort and the false implication oil
Senatorial support to the wanton
lawlcssness which made 1t neces-
sary TO use the full power OF the
Federal Government TO uphold
court decisions in the James
Meredith case"
Senator Eastland, he said, does
not come into this dispute with
clean hands. He has been the
chief of the antagonists of the
U. S. Supreme Court. His speeches
in Mississippi and on the floor OF
the Senate have done incal-
culable harm in spreading dis.
respect for the highest court oil
our land"
Mr.. Mitchell urged the committe
members to do everything in
their power ito prevent Senator
Eastland from using the Judiciary
Committee and its resources as
a propaganda weapon to pro-
mote or defend unconstitutional

FLORIDA HOUSE
BATTLE LIKELY

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Aug.
(AP).-Forida legislators as
semble today in a hurry-up
reapportionment session in
which the House likely will
prove the major battlefield.
The chief obstacle to an early
settlement of the issue ap-
peared to be in convincing a
small-county group in the
House to surrender control of
that body to the populous urban
areas.
The powerful Senate major
ity bloc gave conditional back
ing yesterday to a plan ad-
vanced by Gov. Farris Bryant
which would increase the size
Of the Senate from SO to As
and the House from 95 to 144.
Gov. Bryant's plan, which he
said he was prepared to push
actively. would leave control of
the Senate in the small and
medium size counties but would
transfer control of the House
from the rural areas to the 10
biggest counties which would
get half of the IA representa-
tives. Florida has 81 counties
A three-judge Federal court
at Miami last week ordered
Florida to provide fair represen-
tation in the Legislature or the
court itself would do the job
Counties with 1915 per cent OF
the population now can elect
a majority of the Senate and
those with 1874 per cent can
elect a majority of the House.

SLATED IN '63

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. l
(AP). - Oklahoma's rurally
dominated Legislature may get
a chance to reapportion itself
next year, a special three judge
Federal court indicated yes
terday.
The indication came at a
hearing by the court on possible
remedies to Oklahoma's reap
portionment situation. The
court ruled June 10 city voters
weren't getting enough repre-
sentation in the State Legis-
lature.
What we are concerned with
is whether the 1868 Legislature
can be trusted to reapportion
in accordance with the man
date of this court" said A. P.
Murrah, presiding judge. He
added:
LAS far as I'm concerned, if
it can, I think it should be

Formula Attacked

The plaintiffs contended the
68-year-old apportionment for
mula in the State constitution
violates the United States Con-
stltution by not giving equal
representation to urban areas.
They name the State as de-
PENDANTS. The trial began
Monday.
Secretary of State Caroline
K. Simon and Attorney General
Louis F. Lefkowitz. both Re-
publicans. filed a brief yester-
day in which they said "the
majority of the people of the
State are perfectly con-
tent with the present system"
of apportionment.
The two State officials. who
are defendants in the suit, also
said that the plaintiffs must
lat a minimum demon
Strate that the urban areas of
the State are unable to exert
their political power in the
Legislature and are unable to
change the institutional form
ula itself"
Urban Control Seen
They said 1.-The figures clearly
demonstrate that the urban
areas of New York State are
now and will continue to be in
effective control of the Legis-
lature."
The plaintiffs filed an affi-
davit saying that the present
formula Of apportionment had
led to Legislation invidiously
discriminatory to the under
represented areas of the State"
Both houses of the New York
State Legislature have been
consistently controlled by Re-
publicans since 1885.
Democrats chagre that urban
areas and populous suburban
areas are cheated and rural
areas have unduly large repre-
Sentation in the Legislature.

Our
Rugged
Ancestors

TAKE quick look about Laucks Museum up in York
Il County, Pa, and you'll see what superhumans our
great grandfathers were.
With crude tools but straight eyes, they carved
empire out Of the wilderness Those tools today
would make any workman squirm with the thought of
the muscle power necessary to make them work
Laucks Museum, operated by the Historical Society
Of York County, is filled with the tools and the luxures
of pioneer days. is vast collection of historical
objects connected with early rural America.
HyOu pause in the carpenter shop, you can see how
fences from fine chestnut timber, and how wagon
wheels were planed smooth
You can see the early farm machines that began to
take the bacbreak out Of farming and you sample
the skill with which artisans fashioned the simplest
of tools.
There early loom and what is probably one
of the first washing machines Only this washer is of
wood and is turned by crank big STEP though from
the boiling kettle and the knuckle polishing washboard
There pOtbellied stoves and early lamps There
are sleighs and buggies And there is early corn
planter, made partly from a log.
The collection was started many years ago by
Samuel S. Laucks, ST. and was first shown publicly in
1855 during the 18th anniversary of the little town of
Red Lion. The Museum is located in a Pennsylvania
bank barn on the road between Red Lion and York
After Mr. Laucks' death the collection was given
to the Historical Society, which operates it in
necti0n with its museum in York
Laueks Museum is open daily from May 30 to Sep
tember and there is no charge for admission.
