Lady Lawyer Is
A Busy One

Five years of training ste
nographers and typists at the
Internal Revenue Service was
enough to lure Cathrine Ed
mondson into the law. And
once-lured, she never wav-
cred.
The new president-elect of
the National Association of
Women Lawyers, she earned
her law degree at breakneck
speed. For three years she at
tended classes six nights a
week at the National Univer-
sity here (now a part Of
George Washington Univer-
Sity Law SCHOOL,.
Anybody who's gone through
law school at night, while
holding a full-time job, knows
just how firm a commitment
is involved.
Wouldn't Stop
But I never entertained
the notion of stopping" Miss
Edmondson said, because I
don't like to leave anything
half finished. I'm just that
way"
II also knew by then" she
added, that anyone who got
off the bottom Of the heap cat
IRS) was either an account
ant, a lawyer or both"
From the time she opened
her first casebook back in the
early '30s, she intended to re-
turn to Internal Revenue as a
tax lawyer. She considers her
speciality extremely impor-
tant. It's something that
affects almost every citizen
of our country right in their
pocketbooks, and the conclu-
sion you come to in each case
really matters to the tax
payer"
Miss Edmondson was ele-
waited to president-elect from
vice president Of the NAWL
at the national convention a
couple Of weeks ago.
Her new position, which
she'll hold for a year, keeps
her on the executive board
but frees her from the duties
Of a specific office so she can
prepare for her own admin
iStration next year.
The association. an affiliate
Of the American Bar AsSocia-

Of justice in all ways possible;

Heating VoIks

F. D. D., Alexandria
I have a Volkswagen
Camper and would be very
much interested in heating
1t for cold weather camping,
preferably at not too much
expense.
Can any RICH reader who
has had experience with
this type vehicle, or possibly
someone who has used a
small trailer in cold weather,
suggest an effective and safe
way to heat it while it is
stationary.
I have considered a small
portable alcohol, gas, or
kerosene heater but am I'M
sure about the amount of
ventilation necessary and am
concerned about the posi-
bility of carbon monoxide.

prohibitive compared to fuels
and that if the current goes
off you freeze.
However, with either gas
or oil, if the current goes off,
so does your heat, unless you
have manual control avail
able.
At the local rate of Is
cents per kilowat hour it is
quite competitive with other
fuels; consider that there are
no chimneys to clean, no
valves, etc., to adjust or
clean, no annual costly serv-
icing, no need to supply air
for combustion, but only for
human needs.
Once installed you just
forget about it. Also the mi
tial installation will be

quired.
Personally I prefer ceiling
radiant heat, as there are no
convection air currents to
distribute dust over the
house.
Good insulation is vital,
but it is needed no matter
what type of heating is used,
as it quickly pays its cost in
savings.

Slash in Taxes
After Age IS
Is Rejected
BY the Associated Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee has rejected Pres
ident Kennedy's recommended
ton for a $3.50 million tax break
for persons over IS.
The committee voted yester-
day not to include in the tax
cut and revision bill 1t Is writ
ing any change in the present
tax provisions for the elderly,
including the extra personal
exemption and the special re-
tirement income credit.
Mr.. Kennedy proposed sub
shutting a $50 credit against
taxes. He said the present
system discriminates between
aged taxpayers because Of the
source Of their income and his
proposal would "liberalize sub
stantially the tax treatment Of
aged lower and middle-income
taxpayers"
The Treasury estimated 1t
would reduce tax revenues $3.50
million annually.
The committee accepted Mr..
Kennedy's proposals for tax
assistance to persons who have
to move their households be-
cause they take new jobs or
are transferred.
Persons who pay the costs
Of a move. including freight,
transportation Of persons and
meals and lodging in transit,
without reimbursement from
their employers, would be al

possible, therefore, for Ameri-
can students Of any color to
attend any public institution
they select without having to
be backed up by troops.
1t ought to be possible for
American consumers Of any
color to receive equal service
In places Of public accommoda-
ton, such as hotels and restau-
rants and theaters and retail
stores. without being forced to
resort to demonstrations in the
street, and it ought to be pos
sible for American citizens of
any color to register and vote
in a free election without inter-
ference or fear Of reprisal.
1t ought to be possible, in
short, for every American to
enjoy the privilege of being
American without regard to his
race or his color. In short,
every American ought to have
the right to be treated as he
would wish to be treated, as
one would wish his children
to be treated. But this is not
the case.

employed. about one-seventh
as much chance of earning
$4,000 a year, a life ex-
pectancy which Is seven years
shorter, and the prospects Of
earning only half as much.
This is not a sectional issue.
Difficulties over segregation
and discrimination exist in
every city, in every State Of
the Union, producing in many
cities a rising tide Of discon-
tent that threatens the public
safety.
Nor is this a partisan issue
in a time of domestic crisis.
Men of goodwill and generos-
ity should be able to unite,
regardless of party or politics.
This is not even a legal or leg
islative issue alone. 1t is bet
ter to settle these matters in
the courts than in the streets,
and new laws are needed at
every level, but law alone can
not make men see right.
We are confronted primarily
with a moral issue. 1t is as
old as the Scriptures and Is
as clear as the American Con-
stitution. The heart Of the
question is whether all Ameri-
cans are to be afforded equal
rights and equal opportunities,
whether we are going to treat
our fellow Americans as we
want to be treated.
If an American, because his
skin is dark, cannot eat lunch
in a restaurant open to the
public, If he cannot send his
children to the best public
school available, If he cannot
vote for the public officials who
represent him, If, in short, he
cannot enjoy the full and free
life which all Of us want. then
who among us would be con-
tent to have the color Of his
skin changed and stand in his
place? Who among us would
then be content with the coun-
sells Of patience and delay?

Time to Fulfill
Nations Promise

One hundred years Of delay
have passed since President
Lincoln freed the slaves, yet
their heirs. their grandsons are
not fully free. They are not yet
freed from the bonds Of in
justice. They are not yet freed
from social and economic OPP
preston, and this Nation, for
all its hopes and all its boasts,
will not be fully free until all
its citizens are free.
We preach freedom around
the world, and we mean 1t, and
we cherish our freedom here at
home, but are we to say to the
world, and much more import
antly, to each other that this
is a land of the free except for
the Negroes; that we have no
second-class citizens except
Negroes; that we have no class
or caste system, no ghettos. no
master race except with respect
to Negroes?
Now the time has come for
this Nation to fulfill its prom
Uses. The events in Birmingham
and elsewhere have so in
creased the cries for equality
that no city or State legisla-
tive body can prudently choose
to ignore them.
The fires Of Illustration and
discord are burning in every
city, North and South, where
legal remedies are not at hand.
Redress is sought in the streets.
in demonstrations, parades and
protests which create tensions
and threaten violence and
threaten lives.
We face, therefore, a moral
crisis as q country and as a
people. 1t cannot be met by
repressive police action. It can
not be left to increased demon
STATIONS in the streets. It can
not be Quoted by token moves
or talk. 1t is a time to act in
the Congress, in your State
and local legislative body and,
above all. in all Of our daily
lives. t-
1t is not enough to pin the
blame on others, to say this Il
a problem Of one section Of the
country or another, or deplore
1t. The fact that we face q
great change Is at hand, anc

Text of Kennedy Plea to End Intolerance

Following Is the teri OF
President Kennedy's ciuh
rights message to the Nation
last night:
Good evening, my fellow citi-
gems.
This afternoon, following a
series of threats and defiant
statements, the presence of
Alabama guardsmen was re-
quired on the University of Ala
barna to carry out the final and
uneQuvocal order of the United
States District Courts of the
Northern District of Alabama
That order called for the ad-
mission of two clearly qualified
young Alabama residents who
happened to have been born
Negro.
That they were admitted
peacefully on the campus is due
in good measure to the conduct
Of the students of the Uni
versity of Alabama, who met
their responsibilities in a con-
structive way.
I hope that every American,
regardless Of where he lives,
will stop and examine his con-
science about this and other
related incidents. This nation
founded by men Of many ma
tons and backgrounds. 1t was
founded on the principle that
all men are created equal, and
that the rights of every man
are diminished when the rights
of one man are threatened.
Today we are committed to
q worldwide struggle to pro-
mote and protect all of those
who wish to be free and when
Americans are sent to Wet Nam
or West Berlin, we do not ask
for whites only. 1t ought to be

Asks u. S. Role
In School Lawsuits

I am also asking Congress to
authorize the Federal Govern
ment to participate more fully in
lawsuits designed to end segre-
cation in public education. We
have succeeded in pursuading
many districts to desegregate
voluntarily. Dozens have adj
mitted Negroes without vio-
lence.
Today a Negro is attending
q State-supported institution
in every one Of our so States,
but the pace is very slow. Too
many Negro children entering
segregated grade school at the
time of the Supreme Courts
decision nine years ago will
enter segregated high schools
this fall. having suffered q loss
which can never be restored.
The lack Of an adequate edu-
cation denies the Negro q
chance to get a decent job.
The orderly implementation
Of the Supreme Court decision,
therefore, cannot be left solely
to those who may not have the
economic resources to carry the
legal action or who may be SUBJ
ject to harassment.
Other features will also be
requested. including greater
protection for the right to vote.
But legislation. I repeat. can
not solve this problem alone. It
must be solved in the homes of
every American in every COM
munity across our country.
In this respect. ! want TO pay

Problem Concerns
All in Nation

My fellow Americans, this is
q problem which faces us all
lin every city Of the North
as well as the South. Today
there are Negroes unemployed
two or three times as many
compared to whites, inadequate
in education, moving into the
large cities, unable TO find work,
young people particularly out
of work without hope, denied
equal rights, denied the OPP
portunity to eat at a restaurant
or lunch counter or go to a
movie theater, denied the right
to a decent education, denied
almost today the right to at
tend a State university al
though qualified.
It seems to me that these
are matters which concern us
all, not merely Presidents or
Congressman or Governors, but
every citizen Of the United
States. This is one country. It
has become one country be-
cause all Of us and all the peo-
pie who come here had an equal
chance to develop their talents.
We cannot say to 10 per
cent of the population that you
cannot have that right; that
your children can't have the
chance to develop whatever
talents they have; that the only
way that they are going to get
their rights is to go into the
streets and demonstrate.
I think we owe them and we
owe ourselves q better country
than that.
Therefore, I am asking for
your help in making it easier
for us to move ahead and
prove the kind Of equality of
treatment which we would
want ourselves; to give a
chance for every child to be
educated to the limit Of his
talents.
AS I have said before, not
every child has an equal talent
or an equal ability or an equal
motivation, but they should
have the equal right to develop
their talent and their ability
and their motivation to make
something Of themselves.
We have q right to expect
that the Negro community will
be responsible, will uphold the
law, but they have a right to
expect that the law will be fair;
that the Constitution will be
color blind, as Justice Harlan
said at the turn Of the century.
This is what we are talking
about, and this is q matter
which concerns this country
and what 1t stands for, and In
meeting 1t I ask the support. of
all Of our citizens.
Thank you very much.

The Treasury estimated this
would amount to a $50 million
tax reduction.
The tax writers turned down
another Kennedy proposal. to
encourage business spending on
research and development. This
would have allowed firms to
treat the cost Of research equip
ment as a current expense, at
a cost in tax revenues of $50
