No-Bius Pledge
Asked of Builders
By the Associated Press

Builders of federally assisted
housing are being required to
certify that there will be nc
discrimination in employment
practices on the projects.
Both the Veterans Admin

Housing Administration SAID
yesterday directives to that
effect were sent to their field
stations last month. They said
the requirements became eff
fective on July %, although
detailed rules and regulations
have not yet been completed
by the Presidents Committee

Should I arouse the in
terest of the Nations news

nedy will get asked about the
issue at his next press con-
ference. He will, I'm sure,
reply: 1--WE all always well

That matter. however, is now

task force, and ah we are
confident that we can ah tell
you more by the ah end of

Best of all, these other
pickets, such as those who
wish to live and those who
wish to die, are speaking only
for tiny minority groups. But
my sign, I feel, represents the
thinking of the vast majority
of my fellow Americans on
the issues of the day.
OF course, you could argue
that by waving a placard say
ing: I" at the
White House, I'm advising
Mr.. Kennedy to do nothing.
But in a Nation that's fat and
happy, as is ours at the mo-
ment, such a course of action
has considerable popular
appeal.
Yes sir, ! think I've finally
latched onto a bandwagon.

Goldberg Refuses
To Bur Merger
Of Avisco-FMC

Justice Arthur j. Goldberg
Of the Supreme Court refused
yesterday to issue an order
blocking merger Of the FMC
Corp. and American Viscose
Corp.
The Justice Department had
asked a temporary restraining
order pending trial Of an anti
trust case attacking the merger
Justice Goldberg heard de-
partment attorneys and coun-
sci for the two firms in a con-
ference room in the court
building earlier today. Then
later. he ruled that the Su-
preme Court had no jurisdic-
ton TO act in the case at this
time.
The ruling leaves the two
firms free to go ahead with
their plans. However, the anti
trust suit also still stands for
later trial.
FMC Corp. plans TO acquire
operating assets Of American
Viscose and the Justice De-
partment has contended that
the merger would violate the
Clayton Antitrust Act.

tation and negotiation. These
defects must be removed be-
fore any impressive progress
can be made to the goal of
partnership.
For some strange reason,
the idea has taken hold that
the Kennedy administration
has made a serious blunder
in not asking for compensa-
ton from the Common
Market for its discrimination
against American poultry.
This argument rests on an
absolute misconception Of the
Geneva trade system known
as GAIT General Agree
ments on Trade and Tariffs)
That system requires the
country guilty Of the dis
elimination to offer compen-
sation in other fields. There
is no obligation on the coun-
try that has been hurt by
the high duties to propose
a system of compensation.
The duty of arranging COM
penSation rests squarely on
the Common Market. It
evaded this obligation and
then completely shirked it,
even though the United
States with great patience
gave it every chance to hon.
or its commitments to the
Geneva system. It is the
Common Market that is in
default under GAIT. The
United States has committed
no breach.
It is not generally known
that the United States has
offered to review its entire
farm policy, including subsi-
dies and prices, if the Com
mon Market would make a
similar review and enter in
to reciprocal negotiations.
This American offer has been
spurned and ignored.
The Kennedy adminiStra-
ton believes it has been pa
tent and conciliatory. Now
it thinks 1t has no alterna-
tive except to apply indus
trial reprisals to change the
policy of the Common Mar
ket. The discrimination on
poultry, If left intact, could
harden into a general policy
that would inflict arbitrary
injury on many American
farm exports to Western Eu-
rope.

The talks are expected to
concentrate on the nonaggres-
sion pact Mr.. KhruShchev wants
NATO and the Warsaw Pact
alliances to sign.
French President Charles de

treaty appeared to doom this
project. But President Ken

have indicated that a way
could be found around the
Paris roadblock.
Some Western observers here
expect Mr.. RuSk to sound. out
Mr.. Khrushchev on the posi-
bility of settling for a formal
declaration Of non-aggression
made independently by both
military alliances.
Soviet propaganda organs to-
day devoted particular atten-
ton to Western hints that Mr..
Kennedy might try coaxing
Gen. de Gaulle into joining the

American nuclear secrets with
France.
Soviet propaganda voices also
continued belaboring the French

for their refusal to recognize

Judges Son Indicted
In Crash KiIIinq Five

NEW YORK. Aug. 3 (AP).-
Gareth Martins, son of a
Judge, must stand trial next
month on a vehicular homi-
eide charge growing out of a
three-car collision that took
five lives.
Martins, %, was indicted
yesterday by a Bronx grand
jury. He was released on 81, 500
bail for trial September IL.
The Indictment contained
five counts: One for each per-
son killed in the May 10 crash
on the Henry Hudson parkway
in the Bronx.
The jury reached its decision
Thursday night after hearing
48 witnesses in two days.
Cleared by Judges
Martins, son of Criminal
Court Judge Joseph A. Mar
TINS, was cleared of criminal
negligence in the accident after
a five-minute elaboration by
a panel Of three judges, col
leagues of the young mans
father.
The case aroused a storm of
public indignation.
The only penalty thus far
against Martins for his part
in the accident has been
revocation Of his drivers license
for 80 days.

any Of the three countries.
Present bases would be allowed
to remain.
The United States has air
and naval bases in the Philip
pines. Britain has a large naval
base in Singapore which would
be affected If Singapore Joins
with Malaga, North Borneo and
Sarawak in the Federation Of
Malaysia. Malaga and the
Philippines are both strongly
pro- Western.
Malaga Firm on Date
Malaga is standing firm on
the August 81 target date for
launching the hotly disputed
Federation Of Malaysia, re-
liable sources said.
The stand appeared to dim
prospects Of resolving the
Malaysia controversy at the
summit meeting here.
Indonesian President Sukar-
no has vowed to wreck the
Malaysia plan, unless his
terms are met.
Mr.. Sukarno Is believed to
have designs on North Borneo
and Sarawak, British colonies
which share the jungle border
with Indonesian Borneo. They
are scheduled to join Malaga
and Singapore in the Fedora
ton Of Malaysia.
Mr.. Sukarno has demanded
referendums in the Borneo
territories to determine wheth-
er the people there want to
join the federation.
Malayan Leader Objects
Prime Minister Tunku Abdul
Rahman Of Malaga objected II
the referendums would delay
the launching date, but agreed
to talks when President dos
dado Macapagal of the Philip
pines called the summit meet
ing to mediate the dispute.
The three leaders appeared on
the verge Of agreement when
they decided to ask United Ma
tons Secretary General U
Thant to resolve the referen-
dunn controversy.
Then Britain refused yester-
day to permit voting in the
Borneo territories before Au-
gus 81. The hardened Malayan
position appeared to have
gained muscle from the British
stand.
There was no word when the
three government chiefs would
meet again. The summit meet
ing was extended a day, until
Sunday, and then extended
again to Monday.
