Cong. MocGregor In
Thick Of Rights
B0ffIe In ConoreSS

Third District Congressman
Clark MacGregor of Minnesota ex-
planned what he considered the
chances of new civil rights legis-
lation at a press conference Thurs
day afternoon, June 20.
Congressman MacGregor came
to Minneapolis shortly after both
houses Of Congress received Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy's recon-
mendations for civil rights legis-
lation.
Five Of the six recOmmenda-
tiOns were similar to proposals
already approved by House Re-
publican policy committee Con-
gressman MacGregor claimed.
The Minnesota Congressman ad-
mitted that the liberal Repubh-
cans such as he were disturbed
over Republican minority leader
Senator Everett Dirksen's attack
on the public Accommodations law
section of the civil rights package,
as IAN invasion of private prop
erty rights"
MacGregor exhibited five page
letter which he had sent to Sen
ator Dirksen questioning the Him
ois solon's claim that regulation
of privately owned public accom-
odations like motels, hotels, rest
aurants would be unconstitutional
Mr.. MacGregor detailed the
struggle which he and other Re-
publican Congressman had made to
convince the President that the
best public Accommodations bill
would be one which uses the 14th
Amendment as its basis, rather
than the US. Attorney Robert
Kennedy's plan to attack race dis
elimination in public accomoda-
tions via the Interstate Commerce
route, which was set forth in early
discussion of proposed civil rights
laws.
Congressman MacGregOr pre-
dicted that all Of the Kennedy
proposals would be passed ex-
cept the public Accommodations
after a considerable debate.
He was not too optimistic about
passage Of the laws against dis
elimination in public accomoda-
tons because of the expected
strong hhbuster and some opposi-
ton from strong elements in both
parties.
Macgregor told how he and two
other members Of the House judic-
iary committee Reps. John v.
Lindsay Of New York City and
William M. McCulloch Of Ohio
have been working for several
months drafting civil rights legis-
lation, for introduction in Congress.
The need for strong civil rights
Legislation has been apparent for a
long period, the Minnesota Con-
gressman noted in his press con-
ference.
Congress has a moral mandate
to enact such legislation as win
protect the citizenship rights Of
every American the Minnesotan
stated.

the local issues that had inspired
them. Some felt with the Presi-
dents speech and his subsequent
introduction Of civil rights legis-
lauon, demonstrations have reach
ed their peak and will taper off
unless Congress fails to act with
promptness and vigor.
However, top civil rights leaders
refused to issue orders for a truce
pending the outcome Of Congress
sional action on the Presidents
proposals.
James Farmer, national director
of the Congress Of Racial Equali-
ty, declared:

demonstrations for freedom will

"On the contrary, such peaceful
demonstrations should help per-

Farmer emphasized: The de-
mand for freedom is not something
that can be turned on and turned
off"

Gov. Ross and It. Gov. (. Johnson Must Shoulder Blame For Blocking ! Meredith from "Ole Miss

NEW ORLEANS R-A federal appeals court has taken the crirn- inal contempt case against Missis- sippi's governor and lieutenant governor under study after first rejecting a plea to let the state bear the responsibility.
 The 5th U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals gave no hint when it might rule on the battery of mo- tions introduced in the case.
 However, Chief Judge Ebert P. Futile of Atlanta said the court would not delay its study of the motions made in behalf of Gov. Ross Barnett and It. Gov. Paul B. Johnson Jr.
 The two have been ordered to show why they should not be held in criminal contempt for trying to block the enrolment of Negro James Meredith into the Univer- sity of Mississippi.
 At the outset of Fridays hear ing, the court-with eight of it's nine judges on the bench-made | it clear that Barnett and Johnson must shoulder any blame for their | acts themselves.
 The ruling came when Missis- sippi attorneys asked that the state be made a party to the case. The actions of Barnett and Johnson who each personally turned Mere dith back from the Old Miss gates -''were acts of the state," they claimed.

Federal Judge Says Ransom Paid Castro May Be Illegal

MIAMI R - A federal judge says the flow of ransom to Fidel Castro may be illegal, and indi cates he may take steps to find out. .,3.-r
 U. s. District Judge Emett C. Choate made his remarks in re- jecting a petitioners contention Friday that shipment of food and drugs from this country to Cuba is treason.
 While Choate was discussing the legality of ransom payments, more than 100 new refugees, including some with US citizenship, were reaching Miami by airlift that took 15,000 pounds of ransom to Ha- Vana.
 Choate gave plaintiff Douglas R. Voorhees, and three defendants 10 days to submit briefs on whether Choate has jurisdiction to rule on Voorhees, petition to halt continu- ing deliveries of $53 million in goods as payment for 1,113 Cuba invasion prisoners Castro freed last December.
 Voorhees,, who has tried physi- cally several times to block the ransom deal, also contends indivi- duals engaged in it violate the Logan Act that forbids private citi- zens to negotiate with foreign gov ernments.
 Choate said the deal would be a clear violation of the act if con- ducted by individuals. But, he said there's no question the govern ment'S in it."

Ketchikan People Take Issue With
 Taylor On Liquor For l9-Year-Olds .

KETCHIKAN R - Ketchikan residents, from bar owners to clergymen took issue with a bill introduced in the House of Repre- sentatives Friday to allow drink ing by 19 and 20-year-olds.
 Rep. Warren Taylor who sub mitted the measure, cited drinking by teen agers on military bases and the number of minors con- victed for liquor law violations as backing for his bill.
 District Magistrate Richard B. Lauber of Ketchikan termed Fay lor's reasoning 'invalid."
 eff we allow the number of con- victions to influence legislation, we're allowing the offenders to dictate the law" said the judge.
 Lauber, Police Chief I'll. Miller and the Rev. J. K. Fison, pastor of the First Methodist Church and president of the Ketchikan Minis terial Assn, expressed doubts as to the maturity of the 19-year-olds.
 "I don't think they can handle it Qiquor) said the police chief
 Miller said that drunken teen ager is harder to handle than an adult" .=....
 The Rev. MT. Fison questioned the maturity of 19-year-olds.
 ''Is a 19-year-old mature enough to make choice?" the clergyman asked.
 "He Taylor) presents some sound reasoning for his measure" Rev. Fison added. "We will have to combat it with rational action, not emotion"
 Capt. Joseph Mazzotta, com mandant of the Ketchikan Coast Guard Base, said the 58 under-21 Coast Guardsmen of his command are not allowed to purchase alco- holic beverages on the base. "We try to comply with local law" Mazzotta said. The skipper also said that he would continue to limit sales to those over 21 even if the law is changed.
 we would still have a moral obligation to these men's parents, y: Mazzotta added.
