Ryan Pushes
Bills to Bar
Housing Bios

legislation to outlaw dis
criminatory practices in Wash
ington housing by owners or
agents has reached the House.
Representative Ryan, Demo-
crat Of New York, introduced
two bills he said were stronger
than the law in his home dis
trict, West Side Manhattan.
One would ban covenants
excluding anyone because of
race, color. religion or ancestry,
from housing and expressly
prohibit refusal to sell or rent
houses for such reasons.
The other bill would permit
revocation of licenses Of real
estate agents who engage in
discriminatory dealings.
No housing except that
owned by religious groups
would be exempt from the
sweeping Ryan proposals. In
New York, owners Of one and
two family homes are exempted
from a similar antisegregation
law.
Mr.. Ryan acted after testi-
mony last week before the
Civil Rights Commission dis
closed both Federal and local
discomfort with persistent seq
regation in rental units, par
ticularly in the Nations Capt.
tai.
An attack on segregation is
being organized simultaneously
in the executive branch of
Government.
The Rights Commission has
established a District Advisory
Committee, headed by TIE Rev.
DR.. Duncan Hewlett, Of the
All Souls Unitarian Church,
The commission hopes to re-
view with advisers civil rights
problems in the District and
recommend possible solutions
to Congress and to President
Kennedy.
At the District Building
Commissioners are explorine
their powers to issue anti-dis.
elimination orders, without
authorizing legislation.
The Commissioners strateg,
is based on the practical prob,

Committee, whose most influen,

retaliated by depriving the
county Of the right to elect
school board members. The
present board, caught between
the conflicting positions Of the
courts and Richmond, has
functioned in fear Of provoking
further retaliation.
Arlington last year adopted
a pupil placement policy which
enables any colored child to
enroll in a white school If he
lives within the attendance
area 1t serves. The board also
agreed to permit school ath-
letes to compete in sports event:

Mclean Group
Plans 10 Fight
Apartments

Residents Of Mclean, Va.
where a SIC million apartment
was approved Wednesday,
planned today to fight the
project to the bitter end.
They said they planned to so
into court In an attempt to get
a reversal Of the coming and
threatened to incorporate as
an independent city.
Meanwhile, Supervisor A.
Claiborne Leigh, under fire for
his support Of the project. said
that its approval meant 1t
would be easier to keep other
apartment developments out Of
residential communities in Nc
Lean.
He said he felt it would have
been impossible to keep apart
ments out Of Mclean indefi-
nitely and that "the question
was upon whom should they
be thrust, the people Of the
primarily developed communi-
ties of Chesterbrook Woods.
Salona Village or Langley, or
upon a few estates at the ex-
treme northeastern end Of the
district"
The Board Of County Super
visors approved the controver-
sial application for three
History apartments at the
girlhood home Of Jacqueline
Kennedy.
Near Parkway
The project would be built on
the 46-acre Merrywood estate
on Route 1913 about 400 feet
from the George Washington
Memorial parkway.
Republican party leaders in
the Dranesville district Of the
county. which Mr.. Leigh repre-
Sents, met last night and ap-
proved a statement criticizing
the supervisor for his action.
1--WE are shocked" said the
statement" that the Dranesville
representative on the Board Of
Supervisors violated his cam
paign pledge to keep tower
apartments out Of his district.
We are demanding a full expla-
nation from Leigh by Thursday,
April g."
Suit to Be Filed
Give DuVal, president Of the
Mclean Citizens Association,
said today opponents Of the
project had instructed attor-
neys to file suit at once asking
that the rezoning be declared
arbitrary and unreasonable. Z"
Mr.. Leigh, on whose motion
the project was approved, said
it was isolated from a traffic
and visibility standpoint, from
the main community of Nc
Lean"
He added: "By granting this
application and isolating the
area for apartments north of
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway and south Of
the airport access road, the
risking Of losing at Chester
brook, Langley and Salona Viii
lage, where applications are
presently pending or potential,
is now greatly reduced"

Right to Say Hell'
Raising Old Ned

So, today a dozen or more
small producers who have been
continuously charging the code
authority with discrimination
in favor of the major studies
are demanding an explicit in
depreciation of the question:
Just when is a cusS word
"folksy' and when isn't it?
AS a nostalgia reminder of
the long strides taken by movie
censorship in reverse - since
1910, it should be recalled that
producer David o. Selznick
fought it out with the code for
months before Clark Gable was
permitted to electrify audiences
at the finale of Gone With The
Wind" by telling Vivien Leigh
where she could go-and in no
uncertain four letter terms.
And that breath taker
marked the big milestone in
Hollywood's determined drive
toward a censorship break
through. It now continues pic
ture-by-picture.

what is a cuss word and what
isn't? And, when, if at all,
should such previously banned
wordage be spoken from the
motion picture screen?
These questions were arous-
ing a group of baffled Holly
wood independent producers
today following the revelation
that the Motion Picture Pro-
ducers Association, dictators of
the So-called morals code, had
dropped the bars on a cur
rently-filming Warner Bros.
movie, "Spencer's Fountain. "
Characters in this film are
being permitted to spout minor
profanities on the grounds that
they are "folksy."
Double, triple, eternal dam
nation" Henry Fonda, the
mountaineer hero screams at
his make-believe wife, Maureen
OHara on one occasion. Then,
again, "Hell's fire" becomes a
running expression of Fonda's
in the script. In another fit of
anger he comes up with "I'll
fry in hell before I let him get
away with that"
These and other equally
questionable outburSts from
the hill-billy types, words that
have been red-penciled in the
past by the code administra-
tors, have now received official
approval, Delmer Dawes. the
producer-director, reports tri-
umphantly.
| In pleading his case to the
code authorities, Dawes argued
that the swearing is not fol
the sake Of being abusive,
rather such cuss words here
have a warm homespun quality
that completely excuses theil
