Anti-Froud Enforcement
Hit at Hearing on Aging

The president of the Ma.
tional Better Business Bureau
today criticized local law en-.
forcement agencies for failing
to curb the swindlerS preyine
on the elderly.
Kenneth B. Wilson told the
Senate Special Committee or
Aging that many of the fraud
schemes could be dealt with
promptly at the local level but
that local enforcement of exist
ing laws is "woefully made
quate and in many cases non-
existent"
Unfortunately" he said, "it
has been our experience that
apathy on the part of many
local officials in either permit
ting offenders to plead to irrel-
event charges such as solicit
ing without a license or va
grancy-o permitting them to
get off scot free on a promise
of leaving the community
'pronto, serves only to expose
the elderly of adjacent commu-
mites to the same Swindle."
At the Federal level, he said
the regulatory agencie. are
doing a highly commendable
job within the limits of their
resources and in the light of
the magnitude of the problem.
But he said these agencies must
be provided with budgets ade-
quate to do the which
is not now the case"
New Techniques
He recommended that the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare, the Federal Trade
Commission, the Post Office
Department and the Agricul-
ture Department be given the
sums they need to function ef-
fectively.
Chief Postal Inspector H. B.
Montague testified that the
Postal Inspection Service has
adopted new investigative tech
niques, including the co-ordina-
tion of major fraud investiga-
tions nationally Ito suppress
these white-collar bandits who
annually fitch millions of dol
lars from the American public. "
He reported that convictions
for mail fraud in the past fiscal
year totaled 524, a modern
record.

Montague gave the committee
a rundown on major frauds

raised their hands.
Judiciary Committee Chair
man Celler, Democrat of New

ed that adoption of the amend
|ment offered by Representative
Bell, Republican of California,
would result in defeat of the
vocational education bill be-
cause of Southern opposition in
the House and Senate or in
the House Rules Committee.
Bill Called Necessary
The debate began with most
Republicans and Democrats
praising the bill as being neces-
sary at this time to help States
broaden programs to help I'M
skilled persons equip themselves
for gainful jobs. Members
agreed with Mr.. Powell that the
bill would especially help Ne
groes.
But the squabble over the
anti discrimination amendment
quickly branched out into Dem
ocratic charges of playing pol

part Of Republicans. @. o. p.
members charged that Demo-

ency" to avoid a split in the
party and were afraid to be
counted on a civil rights issue
at this time.

School Desegregotion
Seen Horming Students

STANFORD, Calf, Aug. Z
(AP).-More harm than good
can come from desegregating
schools attended by students
of predominantly one race. a
New York educator says.
Henry T. Hillson, principal
Of New York City's George
Washington High School, spoke
yesterday at conference on
big city schools at Stanford
University. The So delegates
are trying to determine what
should be done to improve Sec
ondary education for the I'M
derprivileged.
Mr.. Hillson cited a New York
City proposal to send children
by bus from one school to an
other to break segregation as
political, not educational"
1T would do nothing but
destroy the schools they moved
from" he declared. THE ones
who'd leave would be the better
students. When they've gone,
what have you?"
Mr.. Hillson insisted that
breaking up a segregated
school does more harm than
good"

dents are sent into Negro

million in Federal grants to be

next four years. This would be
on top of $57 million in annual
Federal aid already authorized
under existing laws for voca-
tional training OUTLAWS.
Six Hours on One Issue
For almost six hours the
House struggled over a single
issue. 1t was a Republican,
sponsored amendment to ban
Federal funds for use In any
vocational education program
with racial discrimination.
So many other factors were
involved In the House debate,
however, that defeat of the
amendment was not a clear
cut civil rights test.
This amendment lost on q
2l7-181 roll call after being
tentatively rejected on a nom
record vote of 1874 to 146. On
the roll call, only 10 Demo-
Gratis joined 1853 Republicans
favoring the amendment. On
the final roll call for passage,
IL Democrats and nine Repub-
licans voted against the bill it
self.
Representative Powell, New
York Democrat who heads the
House Education and Labor
Committee, was the only Ne
gro member voting for the
amendment. He explained that
he supported 1t "as a matter
OF conscience" and because he
often sponsored similar amend
ments in past years.
Hurl Dare" at Republicans
Many Democratic liberals and
others representing districts
with large Negro populations
opposed the amendment in this
instance. Several of them
dared" Republicans to pledge
support of a similar overall

lation proposed by President
Kennedy and being considered

person in the audience, "Will he

He left behind him eight Re-
publican Senators who wore no
smiles. Senator Javits, Republi-
can OF New York said of SEN
ator Dirksen: "He behaved in a
characteristic way. 1t is inn
portant to assess his strengths
as well as his weaknesses"
The group Of liberal Renubli-
cans had said earlier that they
backed the bill and then
some" Senator Heating, Re-
publican of New York, empha-
sized that there should be a
provision for Fair Employment
Practices. Senator Javits said
he would support an amend
ment which would allow the
Attorney General to bring suit
not only in school cases but
in all situations where persons
are denied constitutional
rights.
At a Democratic gathering in
the Old Senate Office Building,
Senator Hart, Democrat Of
Michigan, said the controversi-
al public accommodations Sec
ton would mot be jettiSoned

Strength Estimated
The Senators engaged in
quite a numbers game when it
came to the possibilities of who
would vote for cloture to limit
filibuStering Of the civil rights
bill. Senator Hart said, IT
think we've got about so votes
for cloture and We'll need seven
more" Republicans said one
third of their 80 were hard |
core committed" another third
against and a third undecided. |
There was speculation as to |
the number of Democrats from
the South who, when 1t came
to a cloture vote, would be as
conSpicuouSly but predictably
absent as they were yesterday. !
Others who spoke were Sena-
tors Douglas, Democrat of Il

of Ohio; Kuchel, Republican Of
