The Presidents message,
given to Congress since beco
nations discrimination problem in
six major areas, however, specific
legislative proposals were recon-
mended in only three.
The Chief Executive, who said
that discriminating and segrega-
ton "still appear in virtually every
aspect of national life, in virtually
every part of the nation" had -four
major recommendations in the area
of voting.
He asked for temporary voting
referees to determine the qualifica-
tons of applicants Of registration
and voting, so as to provide inter
i'm relief while voting suits are
proceeding through the courts.
These federal referees could
make immediate determinations
about a voters qualifications
and allow him to vote immedi-
ately or be registered If they
felt him qualified - rather than
wait for the lengthy court pro-
cesses to be completed.
Secondly, voting suits brought
under the federal civil rights stat
utes should be expedited more rap
idly through the courts, said the
President, "tust as in many state
courts election suits are giver
preference on the docket on the
sensible premise that, unless the
right to vote can be exercised al
a specific election, it is, to the ex.
tent Of that election, lost forever
In a third point, the President
wants to specifically outlaw the
giving Of different tests and the
establishment of different proceed
ures and practices for Negroes and
whites.
And lastly, the President wants
completion Of the sixth grade "to
constitute a presumption that the
applicant Is Hterate."
Although this proposal differs
from the sixth grade literacy test
bill that died in Congress last year
because in this one, completion OF
sixth grade is not positive proof
Of nteracy and can still be chal-
lenged in the courts, it is probably
on this issue that Negroes became
pessimistic about the chances OF
passage Of any voting legislation,
The President also urged the
states to take prompt action on the
proposed oath Amendment to the
Constitution, outlawing the poll
tax, which was passed by the s7th
Congress. Thirteen states have al
ready ratified the Amendment.
In education, nine years after
the Supreme Court ruled segregat-
ed schools unconstitutional, the
President said Our nation is
founded on the principle that OBJ
servance of the law Is the eternal
safeguard Of liberty and defiance
Of the law is the surest road to
tyranny.
"AmercIans are free to dis
agree with the law but not to
disobey It."
In September, he said military
bases will provide schools on base
for children Of military personnel
attending segregated schools in
many southern school districts.
However, since children who still
wish to attend segregated schools,
at government expense, may do so
("We can't make a parent send
his child to a school on base.w .
Many believe the teeth have been
pulled out Of this program, begun
under the Aid to Impacted Area
School Act.
But as a spur and incentive to
areas which wish to desegregate
school districts, the President rec
commended a federal program Of
technical and financial assistance.

TRADE HARMONY
HOPES VOICED

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -
Trade Minister Maurice Bras
seur said today he hopes that
two great political partners"
will not become trade op-
ponents because Of Americas
chicken exports.
He was commenting on the
United States decision to raise
tariffs on a number Of Euro
pean commodities, in retalia-
ton for Common Market tariffs
on United States poultry.
Mr.. BrasSeur told the AS
ISOLATED Press: I'VE must put
this affair in perspective. The
sales of American chickens to
Europe represent only sac mill
lion, which is little compared
to the $43 billion of general
trade between the United
States and the Common
Market"
The minister added he hoped
good sense and moderation
would prevail on both sides
of the Atlantic. Otherwise the
next GAIT General Agree
ment on Tariffs and Trade)
negotiations might become
Still more difficult than to-
day." he said.

rate of auto sales, consumers
have been increasing their to-
tai of instalment debt. Some
economists worry about the
stretching of payment periods
in some areas, but most con-
slider the credit gains on a firm
basis.
Instalment debt has become
a much-watched indicator OF
consumer psychology. 1t goes up
when confidence is wide spread
And consumer confidence is
basic to economic growth.
With consumer, business and
Government spending all tend
ing to rise, the outlook for the
fall months is bright.
Defense spending by the Fed
eral Government is a big fac
tor - a growing one in recent
years. For all forms of national
security it now comes to about
SIS billion a year. Sudden total
disarmament would be a shock
to the economy without a doubt
but almost no one expects that
in the foreseeable future.
And a ban on nuclear test
ing, its proponents contend, will
affect total defense spending
comparatively little.

NEW YORK. - Signing Of
the nuclear test ban treaty
may give some defense indus
tries pause but could mean
stepped up activities in others.
And so many strong spots are
reported elsewhere that the
business world seems largely
expectant Of an increased, II
moderate, gain In the total
economy after Labor Day.
The treaty still has a long
road to go in the United States
Senate. And the skepticism ex-
pressed by many Americans as
to the reliability Of Russian
promises could assure increased
spending in forms Of defense
untouched by the treaty - to
be ready just in case, and to
meet pressure In other forms
Of the cold war.
Total disarmament - with
its cancellation Of defense or
ders - isn't q factor yet in
any but the most long-range
economic planning. Defense De-
partment appropriations aren't
involved in any important de-
gree, at least at present.
Rising Government spending
as q whole, however, is a sure
thing. And corporation econo-
mists are counting on this as
one of the factors sure to
bolster the economy in coming
months. The spending is going
up at State and local levels as
well as Federal - as many tax
payers are well aware.
Even more important is the
continuing large outpourings
from consumers purses and a
moderate, but reassuring, rise
IN business spending for new
equipment and plants. Such
OUTLAWS by business in recent
years are now paying dividends,
as the current reports Of in
creased profits show. The new
equipment is turning out more
goods per man hour, thus cut
ting production costs ia ster

ing.
