Police Chief Dennis Songy
said he ordered officers to fire

agreement not to sing. One
bomb burst near a small Negro
boy, topping him. He staggered
away.
Police did not wear gas

sent tears streaming down their

Senate Group Begins
Shaping Its Rights Bill.

In the House, a Judiciary SUBJ
committee has finished its
hearings on the package bill.
1t started closed-door deliber-
atoms last week and scheduled
additional sessions today, to-
morrow and Thursday.
Democratic Leader Mansfield
told the Senate yesterday that
it probably will have to wait
until the House acts on the
overall bill before plunging into
a battle over civil rights.
Rejects Plea
He rejected a plea from Sem
ator Javits, Republican of New
York, that civil rights legisla-
ton be brought up for action
in the Senate promptly instead
of scheduling 1t behind the
limited test-ban treaty, the for
eign aid authorization bill, APP
preparation measures and other
bills.
Senator Javits suggested the
public accommodations Sec
ton could be taken up shortly,
but Senator Mansfield said he
didn't want to ask the Senate
to act on the program piece
meal.
Thus the indications are that
the Democratic leadership is In
no rush now to get the public
accommodations bill out Of the
Commerce Committee. Once 1t
is reported by the committee,
Senator Javits or any other
Senator could move to call 1t
up for action in the Senate.
While Senator Mansfield
probably could muster the votes
to defeat any such motion, 1t
might prove embarrassing for
some of his Northern Demo-
cratic colleagues who champion
civil rights legislation.

clared, warning that quotes

Labor Department sources
denied the regulations would
impose racial quotas.
Deny Discrimination
The industry statement said
its apprenticeship programs do
not discriminate against Ne
groes or other minority groups.
I'VE do not believe In re-
jecting an applicant because Of

statement said, land we. like
wise cannot be expected to ad-
NIT an applicant because Of his

The statement was adopted
last Friday at Purdue Univer-
