House Group Clears Bill
On Culture Fund Drive

An administration bill to ex-
tend the National Cultural
Center Embarrassing deadline to
September 2, 1866, sailed out
of the House Public Works
Committee today, without a
hearing.
A report stressing the inn
portance Of action this session
was expected to be filed by
the committee this afternoon.
Congressional trustees of the
center have banded together
to push the legislation through
both Houses. It also would in
crease membership on the
managing board from is to 80
and the number required for q
quorum from 8 to IL.
Without new legislation, the
Smithsonian would have to
dissolve the Cultural Center
effort and turn over to art
museums what money has been
collected by next September 2.
These were terms of the original
1858 authorization, which gave
Center sponsors five years to
find money enough to build the
showplace along the Potomac
River in Foggy Bottom.
Estimates Of Center funds
vary according to how people
feel about the project.

NORFOLK, Va, July 49,
The worlds longest bridge and

When it opens in March,

between the Eastern Shore of
Delaware, Maryland and Vir-

land Is expected to drain much

Trestles are being built to
connect the mainland on the
north and south shores with

Toll charges on the bridge
tunnel will be "a for the car

1t is estimated that the new

less than would be expected
in view of the Districts racial
composition"
He said that the survey
figures provide reasonable
grounds for suspicion that
there is discrimination against
Negroes in some of the trades. 4"
Other Factors
However, he said, there are
several other factors that ac-
count for the low percentage
Of Negroes in the programs,
such as lack of information
and the practice of selecting
apprentices on the recommen-
dation Of journeymen already
in the trade.
Mr.. Killing said that the
small percentage of Negroes
learning skilled trades under
the apprenticeship program is
mot a unique pattern, but is
part Of a national problem"
The survey results, he said,
ARE one more indication of
the need in the District for
