ton to assure Negroes the right
to vote.
His proposed legislation
would:
/. Provide that no person
who could prove he had COM
pleted the sixth grade should
be required TO take a literacy
test TO qualify to vote.
2. Authorize the appoint
ment Of temporary voting
referees to determine the quail
fications Of applicants for vot-
ing as soon as a suit Is filed
against discrimination in any
county where fewer than IS
per cent Of eligible Negro voters
are registered.
q. Establish q program Of
Federal technical and financial
assistance TO aid school dis
tricts in the process Of de-
segregation.
4. Extend the life OF the Civil
Rights Commission, due to ex.

ent law. for at least four more
years. and authorize II TO serve
as O national civil rights

formation. advice and techni-
cal assistance to any public or
private agency requesting 1t.
Stresses Progress
In a special message TO Con-
gress. the President boosted
that more progress has been
made during the last two years
in securing the civil rights Of
all Americans than In any COM
parable period in history.
But he said harmful. waste
full and wrongful results Of
racia. discrimination and seq
regation still appear in virtual
ly every aspect Of national life.
in virtually every part Of the
Nation"
He asserted that the civil
rights betterment legislation he
sought should not involve any
sectional bitterness because mo
State or section Of this Nation
can pretend q self-righteous
role. for every area has its own
civil rights problems"
Mr.. Kennedy emphasized
that the right TO vote, which
he described as "a potent key
10 achieving other rights Of
citizenship" must not be denied
TO any American on the
grounds OF race or color.
Defects Noted
While civil rights legislation
passed by Congress in 1857 and
1860 provided the Justice De-
partment with basic tools for
protecting the right 10 vote.
the President said experience
has shown that these laws
suffer from two major de-
fects."
One defect. he said. is the
long and difficult delay which
occurs between the filing OF a
law suit and Its ultimate con-
clusion."
Another somewhat overlap
ping gap" In existing law, he
said. is failure TO deal specifi-
cally with the most common
forms Of abuse Of discretion on
the part Of local election Of
ficials.
To speed action In voting
suits. he urged the legislation
10 provide for temporary voting
referees. Existing Federal law.
he said. provides for appoint
ment OF voting referees 10 act

ton after q court finds that

exists.
But 10 prevent "a successful
case from becoming an empty

Careless Americans Encourage Crime by Losing S7OO Million Cash a Year

PHILADELPHIA LR - Careless Americans encourge crime by losing" more than $7O0 million in cash a year, crime experts were told Saturday.
 They tempt and help support criminals by making it easy to be relieved of money, said Michael Fooner of the Association for Ap- piled Psychoanalysis, New York City.
 One survey showed 912 million American adults lost sums of cash in single year, averaging S75 each, with nearly IA million out of the pocket for $200 or more.
 They generally left money and valuables unguarded in hotel rooms or at home and were care less in carrying money in wallets or handbags.
 Such carelessness creates a mas sive number of temptations and opportunities, Fooner told a ses- sion of the American Assn. for the Advancement of Science.
 Men and women lose cash with equal frequency, but women lost it three times more often than men while out shopping, he said.
 Both lose money while travelling, while shopping, while at work, in public gathering places and around the house. The highest loss is in money that simply seems to dis appear, reflecting the skill of pick pockets.
 Maybe, Fooner said, in our af- fluent society, many people have subconscious feelings of fear, guilt, dependence and other psychologi- cal disturbances that make them prone to losing money, such as some people seem to be accident prone.

New Mining Claim Occupancy Law Explained

The Department of the Interior recently announced that early next year it will begin processing appli- cations to solve long-standing prob lems of persons residing on un- patented mining claims. The de- partment will continue preventing unauthorized occupancy of public lands under the guise of mining claims, according to Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall.
 The new law will not benefit any person residing on unpatented mining claims unless residence goes back to July 23, 1855. The department will have the authority to offer other land for sale, or sell up to five acres of the claim itself to the occupant, but in no case will mineral rights be conveyed to such purchaser.
 Copies of the new law should be in the hands of land office mana gers within few weeks, Udall said, and persons who think their claims will be affected by the new statute should check with the area land office.

Physician Says City Folks May Be Falling Victims of Urbophrenia

PHILADELPHIA R - Looking at modern living, a physician says many of us may be falling victims to urbophrenia.
 That means city jitters.
 Human croWding into big cities and sprawling suburbs has changed the climate in which we live - into an artificial climate which is too much indoors, Dr. Igho Hart Kornblueh of the University of Pennsylvania said Thursday.
 This fosters "a peculiar green house existence" bringing on new and poorly understood health prob lems, Dr. Kornblueh told a sym posium on biometerology of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science. Biometer- ology means the effect of weather and climate on life.
 ''The WearisOme monotony of an immured existence within the con- fines of the residence and the place of employment" leaves it's mark on the physical and mental capacity and productivity and creativity of humans, he said. Dr. Kornblueh is medical director of the Depart ment of Physical Medicine at the University's Graduate Hospital.
 People fail to seek the relaxa- tions and physical activity to oe found in outdoor recreation, or don't have a chance to do so, he said.
 At the same session, Dr. Joseph Lee Hollander of the University of Pennsylvania reported scientific evidence backing up arthritis vic tins who say they can often pre- dict weather because their pains grow worse before a storm. A combined change of falling barometric or air pressure and rising humidity does tend to make arthritic joints more stiff and swollen, he said.
 This was shown with volunteers living for two to four weeks in a chamber, the climatron, in which climate could be controlled arti- ficially in various respects-With- out knowledge of the inmates.

Architects Say
 Americas Capital City Is Becoming Ancient

WASHINGTON R - To many she's a jewel on the Potomac.
 But to committee of architects who are supposed to know about such things-Washington, DC, is a city on the Wane.
 They say the nations capital, to which hundreds of thousands of tourists throng each year, just is not much to look at.
 The gloomy report on Washing ton was compiled by committee of the American Institute of Archi tects. It's published-136 pages Of it-in the Institutes January jour- nal
 In the century and a half since Pierre L'Enfant laid out his basic classical design for the city, it has lost it's luster and gone esthetically doWnhill, says the committee. The group is headed by Paul Thiry, chief architect of the Seattle Worlds Fair.
 Reasons for the reported decline of the city are sudden changes in population, transportation methods and ways of living.
 The architects depicted Wash ington as "a confusion of plan ming boards and agencies, each concerned with but one fragment of the total picture Clearly, a cen tralized planning authority is needed"
