Despite the mounting pres
sure for prompt adoption of
housing or Job antidiscrimina-
nation regulations here, the
District Commissioners feel
that there are compelling rea-
sons for not acting now.
While the Commissioners are
reluctant to elaborate publicly
on their reasons for delay, 1t
was learned that they feel there
are two major obstacles that
block action at this time.
In the first place, the Com
missioners are aware that sew
eral bills have been introduced
in Congress designed to ban
housing discrimination here
and to provide for a local Fair
Employment Practices Com
mission.
1t is the opinion of at least
a majority Of the Board of
Commissioners that for the
District to move now, before
Congress has had an adequate
opportunity to decide what 1t
wants to do about these bills,
would have a harmful effect on
the citv's future relations with
Congress.
Revenue Factor
The second major factor In
fluencing the Commissioners Is
that the House District COM
mittee and the House Rules
Committee have not acted yet
on measures to provide urgently
needed additional revenue for
the city.
1t is the firm intention Of
the board majority not TO take
any action on housing or
FEPC regulations until q new
revenue bill has cleared at
least the House District and
Rules Committees. both Of
which have strong segrega-
zionist members.
Action now on housing and
FEPC rules could result in
blocking or severe reduction Of
the extra income the District
needs so badly, the Commits
sioners fear.
The White House repeatedly
agrees with the Commission
ers' reasoning for not moving
in the housing field at this
time.
Kennedy Guidance
While President Kennedy
has sent at least two letters to
the Commissioners giving them
guidance on the highway
transit controversy. no letters
from the President to the Com
missioners urging them to act
promptly on adoption Of a
housing or job anti-discrimina-
ton order have come to public
attention.
Once passage of a new rev.
enue bill seems reasonably as.
sured, the Commissioners viii
have to decide at what point
they have given Congress 9
fair chance to act on pending
bills in the housing and jot
fields.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-06-07
Had Given Notice

While measures have been
introduced in Congress designed
as substitutes for investigative
arrests, the Commissioners did
not feel they had to wait for
action on these bills because
they had given Congress several
months notice that they in
tended to stop inveStigaCive
arrests.
When the Commissioners do
feel free to adopt regulations
banning discrimination in hous-
ing and job fields here. they
win almost certainly defer con-
sideration Of any local FEPC
regulation until the housing
question has been disposed Of.
The feeling at the District
Building is that it would be
q serious tactical error to try
and get both measures at the
same time.
Meanwhile, however, the
Commissioners are expected ia
release soon a statement or
steps the District is taking tc
ban discrimination in appren.
ticeship programs and to en-.
force nondiscrimination clauses
in District government con-
tracts.

INTERPRETATION.
--IN INTERPRETATION
Major Obstacles Delay
District Action on Bios

In any case, If Congress has
not acted by the time 1t ad-
journs this fall, 1t is virtually
a certainty the Commissioners
will adopt an antidiscrimina-
ton housing order. They
would like to do so before the
end of this session of Congress
There is some feeling at the
District Building that Con-
greSsmen who have introduced
bills on civil rights measures
for the District would better
serve their detectives by with
drawing the bills.
Given Little Chance
District Building officials
feel that such legislation has
little chance Of ever winning
approval by the House District
Committee. withdrawal Of the
bills would leave the Commits
sioners a clear track to act in
these areas.
Some persons have questioned
why the Commissioners feel
they must defer to Congress
now, when they previously de-
fled the House District Commit
tee by ordering an end to
investigative arrests against the
committees expressed wishes.
District Building officials
argue that there are 2 number
Of important distinctions be-
tween the two issues.
Some Of these are:
At the time the Commission
ers ordered an end to investiga-
tive arrests, a revenue bill was
not pending in Congress.
The Supreme Court had fatty
ruled investigative arrests were
unconstitutional. No decisions
OF the same sweeping and final
nature have been made yet by
the Supreme Court on job and
housing discrimination, District
officials feel.

Pam Mulvihill Named
 HOmemaker of Tomorrow

Pamela Mulvihill is Homemaker of Tomorrow for our school in the 1863 Betty Crocker search for the American Homemaker of Tomor- row. Having achieved the highest score in knowledge and attitude test given senior girls Dec. 4, she now is eligible, along with winners in other state high schools, for the stitle of state Homemaker of To- morrow.
 The state Homemaker of Tomor- row is awarded a $500 scholar ship by General Mills, sponsor of the program. The runner-up re- ceives a $500 scholarship. The school of each state Homemaker of Tomorrow is awarded a complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica.
 The state Homemaker of Tomor- row, accompanied by her school advisor, also will join with other state winners in an eXpense-paid educational tour of New York City, Washington, DC, and Col onial Williamsburg, Va, next spring. During the tour, the 1863 All-American Homemaker of To- morrow and national runners-up will be named. The Betty Crocker All-American Homemaker of To- morrow will have her scholarship raised to $5,000, with second, third and fourth place winners being awarded scholarships of $4,OO0, $3,000 and $2,O00 respectively.
 Basis for selection of local and state winners is a test prepared and scored by Science Research Associates, Chicago. Personal ob- servation and interviews are added factors in determining national winners.
 The 1863 Betty Crocker search reached another all-time high in enrolment, with 41O,466 girls in 12,964 schools participating. In the programs nine years, nearly three million girls have been enrolled.
