be finalized before next week.
But he said it was indicated
that the administration pack
age would consist of:
/. Steps to expedite the vot-
ing rights Of all citizens, in
Guiding the sixth grade stand
ard for literacy tests.
2. Extension of the life of
the Civil Rights Commission,
which would expire in Novem-
Der.
3. Power for the Attorney
General to take legal steps to
bring about school indignation
as he now does for voting
rights.
4. Legal steps to prevent dis
elimination in private business
establishments, such as stores,
restaurants and hotels, as well
as in public facilities.
Center Of Controversy
Senator Dirksen agreed that
most of the controversy centers
around attempts to regulate
establishments that are pri-
vately owned and operated.
He told reporters it is still
a matter of choice whether the
r attempt to regulate private es-
J Establishments will be based on
the l4th Amendment. or the
| interstate commerce clause OF
the Constitution. He said he
was Of the opinion the pre-
ponderant thinking" was in the
direction of using the 14th
Amendment.
Some members Of Congress
have pointed out that using the
commerce clause to regulate
local establishments under the
minimum wage law gave rise
to controverys over whether it
should be based on the dollar
value of business conducted an
nually of applied to any estab-
lishment affecting commerce.
There was discussion also
today as to whether the pro-
gram should be presented to
the House and Senate as one
package or several bills.
FavOrs Separate Bills
Senator Dirksen said that If
he were the captain mapping
procedures he would seriously
consider grouping the less con-
troversial points and consider
ling the others separately. He
indicated that this approach
might suggest dealing with
privately owned establishments
separately.
1t is generally recognized
that the showdown will come
on attempts to break a South
ern filibuster in the Senate II
there is to be legislation.
Senator Dirksen made it clear
he thought it would be difficult
to get cloture on a single
package bill because each point
in the package might con-
tribute some votes against
cloture.
He recalled that in 1857.
when Congress passed the first
civil rights law in more than
80 years. President Eisenhower
started out with a five-point
package. He said Republicans
in the Senate had TO join in
knocking out two Of the points
in order to get a bill at ell.
Another Meeting Due
This was the first Joint meet
ing Of Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders with the President
on civil rights. and Senator
Dirksen said he expected there
would be another such meet
ing Monday before the admin
istration program is submitted.
Vice President Johnson. Ma

The law had been kept off

Today's announcement came
when Secretary of State Lloyd

cancel out the effect Of the
petitions themselves.
The law, which was part Of

legislative session.
The announcement by Mr..
SimpkinS had been awaited for
the past week, since integra-
ZIONIST groups which screened
the petition signatures an
nounced that many Of them
were invalid for technical
reasons.
Mr.. Simpkins said petitions
filed with his office on May 81,
automatically suspending the
act, fell 327 shy of the l1,541
required by that date as the
first step toward putting the
new law on referendum.

Mr.. Simpkins said.

The Senate District Commit
tee today voted to ban foreign
chanceries from all residential

City officials will be asked
by the committee to explore

time held that Jews kidnapped
Christian children, killed them
and used their blood in secret
rituals.
The Theodosian Code OF 439,
the Council Of Clermont in 535
and the Council of Toledo in
$50 prohibited the appointment
of Jews to positions in which
they could impose penalties on
Christians.
Renews Church Laws
The Council of Avignon In
1909 banned Jews and harlots'
from touching bread or fruit in
shops and markets. 1t renewed
church laws against the hiring
of Christian servants by Jews.
The Council of Beziers In
1916 condemned the employment
Of Jewish physicians by Christ
ians. Several councils declared
the marriage of a Christian with
a Jew to be null.
But despite the actions of the
councils the Jews enjoyed papal
protection from the time Of st.
Gregory the Great (59O-6O4).
Gregory TX, the stern foun-
der of the Inquisition, issued a
papal bull in 1885 denouncing
mob violence against Jews. In
nocent Nv in 1247 repudiated the
legend of the ritual murder Of
Christian children by Jews.
Gregory X in 1872 ruled the
testimony Of a Christian against
a Jew should not be accepted
unless confirmed by a Jew.

KhruShchev made his predic-

anniversary reception in the
Kremlin. He also took the oc-

Report Women
Smokers Have
Smaller Babies

WASHINGTON (UPD-One Of
the nations leading obstetricians
says cigarette smoking by ex-
pectant mothers resulted in
births of smaller infants.
Dr.Paul B. Underwood Jr.,
OF Charleston, SC, made the
statement in one of several re-
search reports presented last
week at the annual meeting Of
the American College of Obstet-
ricians and Gynecologists.
Underwood, head Of the South
Carolina Medical College obstet-
RIGS and gynecology department
said a survey showed that the
heavier the smoker, the smaller
infants were at birth.
He said 4,440 women repre-
senting more than 16, 900 preg-
nancies were interviewed be-
tween 1860 and 1862. Those ques-
toned were divided into groups
OF smokers and n~on-Smokers.
The women who smoked were
then separated as to the guam
tity of cigarettes used-a half
pack, one pack and more than
a pack a day.
Underwood said the study
showed that women who didn't
smoke gave birth to heavier in
fants than did mothers who
smoked only a pack a day. He
said even smaller infants were
born to women who smoked
more than a pack a day.
"These statistics indicate that
smoking during pregnancy does
decrease the birth weight of
newborn infants" Underwood
said. However, he added ''other
factors, possibly nutritional also
play an important role"
Underwood said the rate of
premature births increased
when the expectant mothers
smoked. He said the prematur-
ity rate was directly proper
tional to the number Of cigar
cites smoked per day."
He said the survey also oted
a Slight increase in the rate
of abortion among women who
smoked, but said the rate of
Stillborn infants was not affect
ed by smoking.
"Since the abortion rate was
consistently elevated in all
groups that smoked" Under

er it significant"

In Helping Make

NEWARK, N. J. (UP1)-No-

has no regrets over his role in
giving birth to the atomic
bomb.
I'm sure S someone would
have invented it." the smiling
scientist said. at is better that
this nation invented it. We are
a non-agresSive nation.
IL was afraid that Germany
would build it before us and
that would be a true catastro-

He said he did not know what
he would do with his prize mon

full to do with it perhaps"
Frankly, | wish | knew why
| was among the prizewinners,"
he told newsmen in Washington
earlier.
But the Nobel Prize commit
tee had definite ideas on Wig
ner's work. 1t awarded him the
honor for his contribution to the
theory of the atomic nucleus
and the activity of elementary
particles.
The Hungarian : born Wigner
shared the prize with another
American, DR.. Maria Goppert
Mayer, of the University of
Heidelberg, who were honored
for their joint discoveries con-
corning nuclear shell structure.
Wigner, who gets half the
prize Of $51,158, said that the
work Of DR.. Mayer and Prof.
Jensen "has completely
changed our ideas Of nuclear
structure"
Asked what he would do with
the prize money Wigner said:
"That is for later, and besides
l am a man with very simple
tastes"
Wigner was present Dec. 2,
1912, at a squash court under
the west stand Of Stage Field
when the first atomic pile was
activated.
Wigner, 81, an immigrant to
this country, was born in Buda-
pest, Hungary.
He has been the Jones pro-
lessor Of theoretical physics at
Princeton since 1888, although
he has taken leaves Of absence
at various times.
He was a leader within a
small group of scientists who,
in 1910, were responsible for adj
vising the government as to the
military possibilities Of nucIear
energy.
In the summer of 1855 he was
one Of four Princeton atomic
energy scientists who were
among the technical advisers to
the US. delegation at the
atoms for peace conference in
Geneva, Switzerland.
