Indignation is proceeding at
about the right tempo" Presi-
dent Kennedy believes.
He told a press conference
late yesterday that the progress
is SLOW, Step-by-step, but il
will continue that way"
He said he does not plan any
new executive order to speed
up an end TO discrimination in
housing.
"The order We have now is
the one we plan to stand on
he told a questioner.
The Presidents executive
order banning racial discrimi-
nation in housing financed by
new Government-guaranteed
loans has been criticized by
some Negro leaders for not
extending its provisions to OLD
loans.
Discusses Rights
In a wide-ranging discussion
Of civil rights questions, Mr..
Kennedy also:
/: Praised the courage and
responsibility" of Southern
leaders in communities where
school desegregation has made
orderly progress this month.
2. Said he would not approve
transferring children to what
a questioner described as
strange, PARKWAY schools" to
correct racial imbalance, but
said much would depend on
the local school districts.
8. Warned against any polit-
ical division in the country
upon racial grounds as "a fatal
mistake"
The President said he
thought the Gallup poll prob
ably was accurate in reporting
so per cent of the people think
his administration is pushing
Indignation too fast.
He added that he thought 1t
was rather impressive that the
same polls showed 40 per cent
or so thought the pace more or
less right.
Because change always dis
turbs," he said, IT was surprised
that there wasn't greater OPP
position"
He emphasized that "this is
not a matter on which you can
take the temperature every
week or two, but is one on
which judgment should be
made after a period Of time.
Asserting that II think we
are going at a about the right
tempo" he added that II think
we will stand after a period
has gone by"
A questioner noted that,
after some troubles in Ala
bama, schools now have been
desegregated practically all of
the Southern states. and asked
the President If he thought
perhaps a milestone has been
reached in this area" or II he
saw continued step-by-step
progress.

Mr.. discard d'Estaing limited
that France may try to make 1t
