As Gales Lash Europe

LONDON, Jan. 13 (AP).-
Bitingly cold weather moving
down from the Arctic brought
snow and ice to Britain today
in the wake of gales which
lashed Western Europe for 60

The high winds, now moving

Citrus Trees Split

the South probably won't inflict
much additional damage on
fruit and vegetable crops be-
cause they were ruined in much

But it would be harmful to
citrus groves.
Citrus trees were reported

A White House official also
said President Kennedy stands

to act on a program of aid to

This official described as un-

This official and Secretary
Ribicoff were commenting on a
report attributed to Represent

Democrat of New York, chair
man of the House Education
and Labor Committee, that the
administration was giving up
the fight for its general public
school aid bill.

I'VE were making Operation
Mad Ball." Mr.. Kovacs once
recalled. 1T was a party Sc
quence with lots of drunken
GIs and lots of pretty French
girls. About 4 am, this char
acter comes up to me and says
I hear you've been having a
ball chasing these pretty star
lets around the set all night
Actually, that's what I was
supposed to be doing but
figured it was none of this guys
business so I told him to go tc
hell"
Mr.. Kovacs later was told
that it was Mr.. Cohn, tryan-
nical boss of Columbia Pictures
For some reason, Harry and
l became great friends after
that. Don't ask me why"
Director Richard Quine, who
directed his first picture and
several afterward, once said
that Mr.. Kovacs was so bril-
liant with comedy that he
didn't need to see a script.
Loved to Gamble
Mr.. Kovacs was one of the
towns better known gamblers
Once a friend called him
from New York. Mr.. Kovacs
asked if he had a deck of cards
in his desk.
The voice 5000 miles away
replied yes.
"Okay," said Mr.. Kovacs
Cut them. I say red for $780,"
Ernie recalled that there was
silence on the other end of the
line, then profanity.
He next gave his opponent a
bet that the next card would
be a spade for $500.
Once again there was silence
on the other end. And the next
mail brought a check for $1,000.
Mr.. KovacS was a gourmet
in his food tastes, a frequent
diner at such restaurants as
c h a sens, Romanoff'S and
Larue'S.
Then he hired a cook and
paid her $1,000 a month.

recently, because I'm afraid
I'll miss something for supper. ."

drugstore.
Before making the bigtime
nationally he had made a hit
in the East with his Ernie
KovacS TV Show.
On TV Mr.. Kovacs' sponsors
let him do pretty much as he
pleased. His final TV special
was a show without words.
There's too much talk on
TV," he said.
In his early TV days, in the
early sos, he established such
notable institutions as "The
Early Eyeball Fraternal March,
ing Society" He was a
columnist for the Trentonian
at Trenton from 1945 to 1850,
and at various times did Stints
at radio disc jockeying, run
ming TV cooking show, and
managing his own stock
company.

He had two other daughters by

he told an interviewer recently.

There were fewer more color
full characters than Mr.. Kovacs,
who spent more on cigars than
many people earn-about $40
a day.
He came to Hollywood with
a reputation of being one of
televiSion's most inventiv e
comics-a writer, producer, star
and director of many shows
that we're television classics.
He soon became a movie star
by doing it the hard way. In
his first picture, he told the
toughest studio boss in town to
go to hell.
AS a result, he wound up with
a 100000 house, a price of
100000 a picture and a repu-
tation as one of the brightest

remarks he made in an inter-
view.
A reporter understood Mr..
Powell to say that the admin
stration did not intend to push
for action on the school aid
measure.
Mr.. Powell disputed that,
saying in a statement:
What I said was that the
President, in his message to
Congress, said he was stand
ing behind the bill sent up last
year so there was no need for
another bill"
He was referring to the ad-
miniStration bill to provide
Federal funds for public school
construction and teachers SAL
aries.
A bitter controversy sur
rounded the bill last year when
Roman Catholic leaders in
sisted that parochial schools
should share in the program.
Mr.. Kennedy, Roman Catho-
lie, said he believed aid to
parochial schools would be un-
constitutional. The resulting
Stalemate blocked most of the
education legislation in the ses-
sion.
Prospects Called Slim
Because of the religious issue
and opposition in the House
on other grounds, most Con-
gressmen interested have con-
ceded that the bills prospects
this year are slim.
Mr.. Powell has said re-
peatedly that unless Mr.. Ken
nedy personally asks him to do
so, he does not intend to make
any move to revive the bill,
which has been pigeonholed in
the House Rules Committee.
/ He reviewed the situation at
an hour long conference with
Mr. Ribicoff yesterday.
In his statement, Secretary
Ribicoff said he had been hold
ing such discussions with a
number of Senate and House
members. and he added:
AT each meeting l reiterated
a strong Endorsement of the
Presidents entire program. .
specifically, this includes
the elementary and secondary
construction and teachers sal
aries bill, and the higher edu-
cation bill.
! The elementary and Sec
ondary bill has passed the Sen
ate and has been reported out
by the House Education and
Labor Committee. This bill
has been tabled by the House
Rules Committee. In these
conferences, 1 reiterated the
Presidents determination to
see that this bill is passed at
this session of the Congress"
Mr.. Powell said he and Mr..
Ribicoff agreed on a program
of timing they hope offers the
administration its best pros
poets for passage of the pro-
gram.

doubt it will be necessary tc

said they have the required 81
signatures if needed.

OF Wisconsin, said he expected

be effective and fruitful"
Rules Group Hit
Mr.. Holifield described the
House Rules Committee as "a
supercommittee passing on the
merits of legislation reported
favorably by other committees
having jurisdiction.
He conceded his opinion is
not shared by everyone, but
said no intervening commit
tee (Such as the Rules Com
mittee) has moral right to
withhold a bill reported favor
ably by a legislative committee
of Jurisdiction"
However, Mr.. Holifield said
that argument has nothing to
do with the kind of steering
committee the group wants,
I'm satisfied with the Rules
Committee as it is now set up,"
he said.
Another member of the group
agreed that the steering COM
mittee had no connection with
the reservations some liberals
have about the function of the
