Gives Testimony
By J. A. OTEARY
Star staff Writer

Two parts of President Ken
nedy'S civil rights package,
which would expand rnanpower
retaining programs, we're ap-
proved today by a Senate La
Dor subcommittee, headed by
Senator Clark, Democrat Of
Pennsylvania.
These programs, which must
still be approved by the full
committee, are counted on to
equip unemployed Negroes for
better job opportunities.
One bill would eliminate the
requirement of existing Jaw
that the States begin next year
matching Federal grants for
retraining programs. This step
would make it necessary to in
crease the Federal authorize
ton $161 million.
Another bill would provide
literacy training for adults I'M
able to accept available Jobs
because they lack a basic edu-
cation in reading, writing and
arithmetic.
Would Lower Age Limit
This second bill also would
lower the age limit for job
training for young PEOPLE from
10 to 16 and would provide
that the percentage of trainees
in the youth group could be
increased from 5 to Is per cent
Senator Javits, Republican
Of New York, reserved the right
to re-offer in the full commit
tee an amendment he withdrew
today to increase the amount
of the training allowances.
Meanwhile, Gov. Carl E.
Sanders of Georgia became the
fifth Southern Governor to go
before the Senate Commerce
Committee against the Presi-
dents proposal to ban segrega-
ton in places of public accom-
mediation.
Another witness against the
public accommodations bill to-
day was Joe T. Patterson, at
torney general of Mississippi.
Mr.. Patterson was sharply
critical of the President and
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy. He repeated the
assertions Of Gov. Barnett of

All these areas are proven

far has baffled the Govern

Paro|ed Youth
Help Is Asked
Report Requests
Lofger Facilities
By JACK LANDAU
Star staff Writer

A Law Enforcement Council
committee has recommended
that the District Commissioners
substantially expand present
facilities for paroled youths who
serve time under the Youth
Corrections Act.
The Paroled Youth Offender
Committee specifically asked
for more probation office per-
sonnet, and the establishment
of a hallway house" to super
wise freed youths.
The District Commissioners
were asked today for the vacant
Temporary Home for Veterans
of All Wars as a halfway
house.
In addition the report asked
for enlarged vocational train
ing facilities at the Youth Gen.
ter at the Lorton Reformatory
and that the District Commits
sioners permit the issuance Of
licenses for certain types of
work which youthful offenders
now cannot perform.
Certain Jobs Banned
The District Licensing Blu
reau will not authorize Offend
ers to work, for example, as
taxicab drivers, garage parking
personnel, car hops or BARRIERS.
Presently, there are 245
young men who have been
freed under the Youth Correc-
tons Act. The United States
probation office has a 22-man
staff to supervise these young
men and an additional 750
paroled convicts. About 40 per
cent of the freed youth Offend
ers violate their parole. The
courts have made increasing
use of the act and last year
sentenced 1870 youths under the
act which is specifically de-
signed TO rehabilitate the
young men and send them
back into society under proba-
tionary supervision.
The five-man committee re-
port, which was headed by Ed
ward w. Garrett, the chief
United States probation and
parole officer for the District,
based the recommendations on
"a year-long study of 81 youth
full offenders paroled from
September, 1860, to September,

The report was accepted yes
terday by the law enforcement
council, which voted to forward

for action.
