House Rules Committee
hearings on the civil rights bill
will begin January 9. Chairman
Smith announced today.
The Virginia Democrat, an
avowed opponent of the legisla-
ton. gave no assurance that
the hearings would be brief.
Supporters of the pending bill
hopes to have it cleared by the
Rules Committee within two
weeks so that it can be consid-
cred by the House before the
end of January.
Chairman Smith informed
the House of his decision this
afternoon by explaining that
members are entitled to know
before Congress adjournS
whether the committee hear
ings will start as soon as the
second session of the SSth
Congress convenes next month.
He said the earliest conven-
tent time to start the hearings
would be January 9. two days
after the new session opens.
ITO be frank about it," he
said. "a good many members Of
the House want to be heard at
the committee hearings. 1t is
my purpose to carry out the
rules of the committee and
hear members who want to be
heard. I shall not encourage
any dilatory tactics, but 1 hope
the committee will show the
courtesy that is due to men,
bers who want to be heard"

Doctor Beaten
Robbed Here

A 69-year-old doctor was
pistol-whipped and robbed in
his Northwest Washington
home today by two men who
pretended to be delivering
Christmas parcels, police re-
ported.
The victim, DR.. William A.
Goodloe. was admitted to the
Washington Hospital Center
with multiple cuts and bruises.
He was listed in fair condition.
His wife, Mrs. Juanita Good
loe, said the men rang the
doorbell about 900 am, claim
ing they had a package for her
husband.
Mrs. Goodloe said one of the
men began beating her husband
with a pistol almost immedi-
ately. The other man, she said,
held a knife at the back of her
neck and forced her to open
her husbands safe.
She said her husband was
struck "all over the face and
head" and that one of the men
hit her on the chin with his
fist.
Police said the two assailants
both in their early 2Os, flee
the Goodloe residence at 1888
v street NV. when the doctor
managed to run to his kitchen
door and screamed for help.
According to Police Capt.
Milton Reed, commanding Off
Ger of the 18th precinct, the
bandits took 500 from DR..
Goodies pockets but failed to
open an interior drawer in the
safe.
Other police officials said
DR.. Goodloe, who told police he
is not now a practicing physi-
clan, was arrested here in 1880
on an abortion charge and con-
victed. The conviction was up
held by the United States Court
OF Appeals on December IA,
1850.
A lookout broadcast by police
described one of the bandits as
a Negro, about 20, who wore a
stocking mask and carried a
dagger. The other man, also
a Negro police said, was about
%. He was light-skinned and
wore a light-colored hat and a
brown suit.

of her address was 'Rendo-

Comparing business and pro-
fesslonal women of other
countries, especially those be-

American Women. She said
she met a woman in Russia
who was director of a fac
