procedure as occurred in re-
porting this bill out Of the Ju-
dietary Committee" Colmer as
serted.
'"The Chairman of the Rules
Committee simply proposes that
the people Of this country be
given an opportunity to learn
what's in this legislation before
1t is reported to the H louise e."
Colmer added. "This is all the
more necessary because no con-
slderation was given to t / S
particular version of the bill
in the Judiciary Committee.
Branding the Civil Rights bill
the greatest grab for raw
power by the Executive Depart
ment that has occurred at any
time in our history" Colmer
charged that the bill would
take away the liberties of a
majority Of American citizens
and confer special privileges
on a minority group.
1T affects the lives, the rights,
the privileges and the liberties
OF every American citizen" Col
mer added. 1T affects the farm
er, the banker, the laborer, the
businessman = everyone.
For example, this so-called
Civil Rights bill would k e
away the seniority rights Of uni
on members in order to achieve
S0-called racial balance in hir-
ing. Unions would be required
to pass over white members
with seniority rights and v e
preference to members of the
Negro race" Colmer warned.
Everyone who participates
In the whole wide range Of Fed
eral programs would be affect
ed.
This bill would take away the
privileges and rights and liber-
ties of the great majority of the
people in order to confer special
treatment upon a minority. This
is contrary to our concept of a
democracy and to our concept Of
government as laid down by
the founders Of this nation"

CoImer Terms CIR Bill
Grab For Raw Power

WASHINGTON (Special) -
The ranking Democratic mem
Der of the powerful House Rules
Committee declared today that
"the wave Of hysteria which
swept the country following
President Kennedy's assassina-
ton makes it inadvisable to
rush action on a Civil Rights
bill.
Rep. William M. Colmer ID
Miss of Pascagoula termed
the Civil Rights proposal "the
greatest grab for raw power by
the Executive Department that
has occurred at any time dur
ing the history of our nation"
Appearing on a recorded cit
liens Council Forum inter
view released today to more
than 500 teleyision and r a d i Q
stations throughout the United
States, Rep. Colmer warned that
"ThiS is no time to act on such
an emotionally : charged a n d
controversial piece of legislation
as the mis-named Civil Rights
bill"
"The reprehensible and das-
tardly assassination Of the Pres
ident is regretted by all the
people Of this nation 80 those
who subscribed to President
Kennedy's political philosophy as
well as those who didn't" Col
mer stated.
"Yet, in the wave of hySteria
which swept the country follow
ing President Kennedy's assas-
SinatiOn, we are being called up,
on to rush this Civil g h t S
bill through Congress as a me
mortal to President Kennedy.
LET me put it this way" Col
mer explained. IF this Civil
Rights bill was good legislation
prior to the assassination OF
the President, then it's good leg
iSlation now; but if it was bad
legislation before he was aSsas-
Sinated, then it's still bad IegiS-
lation today. The assassination
had no effect whatever on the
proposed legislation itself"
The Civil Rights proposal fac

fore it can be cleared for de-
bate by the House Of Represen-
tativeS. Rules Committee Chair

Engineers Will Use Frozen Probes In Attempts to Hold the Mighty Yukon

ANCHORAGE Special - The river gigs, because it has shifty banks. You can tell the river to go away from your door, but up to now it hasn't listened. You have the choice of moving or prevent ing the river from moving. Until now keeping the Yukon River from shifting hasn't been possible
 Army Corps of Engineers of the Alaska District, propose to do it. pin 1t down - by inserting 40- foot ice probes like pins into a cushion. The system is unique in mans efforts to curb erosion and control floods.
 Under $1,234,OOO contract with Rivers Brothers Company and Ghemm Company of Fairbanks, Engineers are inserting probes to keep the errant bank as frozen asset. It is frozen now in tempera- lures that go down to the high eos below zero. In the spring with the breakup and floods, the bank will not thaw and erode. The probes prevent thawing.
 The Yukon Valley in the vicinity of Galena Air Force Station is flat flood plain, 35 miles wide, tat tooed with old channels. When the airport and military station was established at Galena in 1941, the Yukon River bank was three quarters of a mile farther from the threatened base than it is now, and posed no problem. Twenty-one years of erosion has brought the river too close for security.
 Last spring the river was lap ping at the dike surrounding the base and airport, water percolated from the ground in short geysers, exhibiting flood pressures. The river showed it's primordial force by Tapping a steel wall erected

to protect the endangered bank The metal was of inch thick battleship steel; it swayed like broken shutter in the wind. Ice in chunks the size of bungalows were lobbed over the parapet into a trough formed with the bank by erosion. The river then played toss with tons of ice, popping them into midair like ping-pong balls in an air jet.
 The flood subsided before the bank collapsed. When the flood strikes this year, the bank will be frozen hard as a marble in fruit cake and there it will stay while the river works its will on 1900 miles of banks from Canada to the Boring Sea.
 The freeze probes are an idea of engineer Erwin Long of the US. Army Engineer District, aldShd. l IlC Aoll6 AliSA llloCAAC works automatically to expell heat from frozen ground. Encapsuled propane gas has low vapor point. When warmed it changes from liquid to gas, which rises in the capsule tube to the surface where the heat is expelled, the gas then condenses, gathering as liquid at the base of the probes until needed again.
 Additional protection against surface erosion will be added to the bank this winter under the contract. Additional steel piling will be placed as a buffer. Finally the bank will be armored with three to five foot layer of rock and gravel. "If this doesn't stop the Yukon, I'll eat my tin helmet" says Long

Lindbergh's Daughter Marries in France

PERIGUEUX, France R - Charles A. Lindbergh's daughter was married in France Monday. And the flier who made history in May, 1927, by piloting a single engine plane across the Atlantic to Paris, attended the ceremony. Miss Ann Spencer Lindbergh be- came the bride of Jacques Freydy, the son of a professor.
 Brigadier General and Mrs. Lindbergh looked on as the civil ceremony was performed at Douz- lilac, near Perigueux.
 The couple met during summer vacations spent at the French vil- lage. Each is 20 years old.
 Lindbergh was an obscure air mail pilot and Missouri National Guard captain when he made his solo nonstop flight to fame. The brides mother is the former Anne Morrow, daughter of the late Dwight Morrow.

The World Today
By JAMES NARROW
Associated Press NeUs Analyst

WASHINGTON R - President Johnson was elated, but he knew better than to crow, when this week he signed bills approving ] federal aid to education. His troubles in this field are just be- ginning.
 It took Congress all year to pass three pieces, far-reaching but pieces, of President John F. Ken nedy's broad aid to education pro- gram. Johnson inherited the sorest, most sensitive piece, which Con- gress left unpassed. This part has been a religious issue since Kennedy first offered his program in 1861: Federal Aid to public elementary and secon- diary schools but not to Catholic schools.
 Ken edy excluded Catholic schools on the constitutional grounds of keeping state and church separate. Catholic spokes- men opposed the measure unless Catholic schools were included. Non-Catholics opposed it if Cath ollie schools were included
 Kennedy, Roman Catholic, never got to first base with it. Johnson, Protestant, is pledged to support the Kennedy programs. The outlook for this one in 1864 looks dismal
 Nevertheless, the Johnson ad- ministration is expected to push for it. This isn't the only Ken nedy program that Johnson SUD- ports whose chances look dismal. There's another: Medical care for the aged.
 A filibuster by Southern Demo- crats against civil rights might take weeks in an election year when Congress wants to quit early. This would gum up the Sen ate schedule, perhaps squeezing out any action on aid to educa- tion which, if it did come up, might also consume more weeks in argument.
 l These were the three pieces of federal aid to education to pass this year:
 l. One to give loans and grants to public and private, including Catholic, colleges and universi- ties to help build classrooms, li- braries and laboratories. This bill forbids use of government money to build divinity schools.
 2. One to help finance the build ing of medical schools and give loans to medical students. 3. One to support vocational ed ucation, help school districts jammed because of nearby federal bases, and provide student loan funds.

Western Division, Olin Mathie- son Chemical Corporation. For mer recipients include Nash Buckingham, General Curtis LeMay, the late Dr. Logan Ben- nett. Walter Aston and Robert Taylor.
 MT. Knight was the first member of the Hunting Hall of Fame. In addition, he and his son, Richard Alden Knight, are the only father and son combi- nation in the Fishing Hall of Fame. MT. Knights latest book, "The Complete Book of Fly casting" was written with his son and recently published by Putnam.
 A graduate of the Tome In- stitute, Fort Deposit, Md, and Cornell, Class of 1915, MT. Knight was an ensign test pilot in the Naval Air Corps during World War I. After a varied business career, MT. Knight re- tired to devote himself to out door writing and his Solunar Tables in 1889.

You Con Add Space
At a Bargain Price

The biggest bargain in a
developments model house
may be something you can
not even see.
It's the additional living
space the builder may add
to the plans to provide a
home that is roomier than
the models, according to
John Bruce, a housing au-
thority for Allied Chemicals
Barrett Division.
Generally it costs about
half as much per square foot
to add space to a home, pro-
vided the changes in the
plans are made in advance
OF actual construction" Mr..
Bruce explains.
He reasons that land, on
site improvements, builders
expenses and basic heating
and plumbing equipment ac-
count for about half a
houses cost. In a 1000 square
foot house priced to sell for
$4,000 Cor $12 per square
FOOT, the actual floor space
itself costs about $6 per
square foot.
Evening star., 1963-01-12

Although building costs
per square foot vary, de-
pending upon the location
and section Of the country,
the proportions remain sub
stantially the same. So, VITA
labor and materials already
on the scene, an additional
bedroom, family room or a
larger dining room may be
built for what amounts to
half price, provided no ad-
ditional plumbing or heat
ing equipment becomes
necessary.
Many development build
ers will agree to additions
provided they can be incor-
porated into the basic de-
sign," Mr.. Bruce says. "Such
changes are relatively simple
in most single level homes
offered for sale today"
In two-story homes with
expansion attics, 1t will pay
to finish off the attic i'm
mediately for greater savings
and more enjoyable living.

insulation Requires
Complete Coveroqe

How well insulation does
its job of helping to keep
you cozily warm in winter
and cool in summer depends
in great degree on how COM
pletely all areas of possible
heat transmission are COW
cred.
Basically, every partition
that separates a heated liv-
ing space from an unheated
area should be protected
against heat transmission by
insulation.
Sidewalks and ceilings be-
low unheated attic space OBJ
viously require insulation, but
there are many others that
sometimes are overlooked in
evaluating an insulation ap-
plication. according to the
owens Corning Fiberglas
Corp.
Among the less obvious
areas are stair wells leading
to unheated attics and parti-
tions separating living
quarters from attached but
unheated garages and store
rooms.
Even the narrow crevice
between the top of the base
ment foundation wall and the
sill plate of the house can
be an expensive heat leak.
Studies showed that when
this opening is filled with
a sill sealer, it means a fuel
cost savings potential averag-.
ing S25 to $50 a year, and
ranging as high as $35 in
northern areas.
Cold dampness from the
ground can penetrate into
the floors of houses built
on slab or crawl space foun-
dations unless these founda-
tions are protected by peri
meter insulation.
While a house can be in
sulated most efficiently
when 1t is being built, there
are ways to upgrade insula-
ton for greater comfort and
lower fuel bills in an existing
dwelling, too.
