Senator Heating, Republican
Of New York, today urged Pres
ident Kennedy to issue al
executive order banning dis
elimination in connection with
Federal grsntS-in-aid programs
to any of lie States.
Supporters of civil right
legislation rallied to the defenSI
Of the Civil Rights Commission
as Southerners attacked thu
commissions recommendation
that the President consider cut
ting off all Federal funds II
Mississippi because of thai
States racial policies.
Senator Keating's plea to the
, President was much broader
and upheld the right of the
Federal Government to insist
that programs carried out with
Federal aid be administered in
accordance with the Constitu-
tion.
1T is no more legal or moral
for Federal agencies to spend
Federal funds on unconStitu-
tional projects than it is for
State officials to Subsidize
white-only schools, parks, trans
portation or other public facil-
ities," Senator Heating said.
Existence at Stake
The controversy over the
commissions Mississippi report
may make it harder for con-
gressional leaders to extend the
life of the Civil Rights Commits
sion at this session. Unless
action is taken in this session
of Vongress. the commission
would pass out Of existence in
November.
Southern Senators never
have been enthusiastic about
the commission, but in the past
they have made no serious ef-
fort to block its continuance.
They do not have the votes
to defeat extension Of the COM
mission, but under Senate rules
they could try to prevent pas
sage by prolonged debeate. In
the House, passage of the ex-
tension bill would be easier
because unlimited debate is not
possible there.
Hearings Next Month
A House Judiciary subcom-
mittee will begin hearings May
s on a wide variety of civil
rights bills, including extension
of the Civil Right Commission.
Three Southerners, in COM
menting on the Mississippi re-
port, cited it as evidence the
commission should be abol-
ished.
One Of them was Senator
Erwin, Democrat of North Car
olina, chairman of the Consti-
tutional Rights Subcommittee
which will handle the extension
bills.

Senator Erwin already hat
scheduled hearings to begin or

mission before the Mississippi
report was published. Both
Senators Erwin and Eastland

nounced the report as "irre-

in the charges that has been

not in the same words but with

Blinking Lights
AAoy Herald
State Centenniu|

Lights go out for anybody on
New Years Eve? They may blink
for all Montanans a year from
now as 1864 dawns. That may be
one way the Treasure States
Territorial Centennial is heralded.
Although the celebration is a
year away, the Montana Centen-
NAL Commission is approaching q
vital period in its planning, Drec-
tor L. w. Upshaw of Great Falls
notes. Scheduled to be presented
to Montana's legislative session
this month is the commission mas
ter plan. Legislative cooperation
and an appropriation to send
planning into detailed stages will
be asked. Citizen committees in
every Montana county have raised
funds to finance preliminary work
which has been going on for more
than a year.
Explaining the blinking
lights, Upshaw said that sew
eral utilities have expressed in
terest at his suggestion for a
momentary shutoff of lights
in Montana after midnight on
the first day of 1864.
Later the same day, if plans are
approved, the Montana Centen-
NAL will get nationwide attention
at the annual Tournament OF
The Sidney herald., 1963-01-09

Roses in Pasadena, California.
Plans call for an all-Montana band
and float to be in the mammoth
parade at Pasadena, while Cover
nor Tim Babcock and his official
party participate. 1t will be from
Pasadena just ga seconds after
midnight that the governor will
flash a signal marking the official
opening of the 1864 celebration.
The act will set off a year-long
series of community and state
wide celebrations, observances and
colorful pageantry. An estimated
go million TV viewers will hear
about Montana's birthday" from
the Tournament of Roses.
While it was in 1864 that Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln signed the
act that created Montana Terri
tory, 1864 is a year for a double
barreled celebration. 1t will be
just rs years ago, in 1889 that
Mont. became a state. Decals now
being sold by Montana Jaycees
throughout Montana use this dual
celebration theme.
The Commission, in recent
sessions, has brought two
ideas to the front-community
participation throughout Mon
tana and professional direction
and guidance for the state
wide observance. The last is
through the John B. Rogers
Co. OF Fostoria, Ohio. Rogers
has been in the field of COM
munity, regional and state act
lvities of this type for so
years.
One keystone of the Rogers pro-
posal is production of "The Mon
tana Story" in at least IL COM
munities of the state.
Some other proposals under
study for the year are sending a
Montana Centennial train to the
New York Worlds fair, re-enact-
ment of President Lincoln's bill
signing, production of a hitherto
undiscovered major Opera,
"Poisa'', based on legends of the
Blackfeet, art and music festivals
and recognition of early Montana
residents.
Many other plans are in the
making by subcommittee chair.
