Sweeping to Will WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Lyndon B. Johnson will ask Congress Wednesday for a sweeping civil r ights program, incJuding a gradual, three-stage end to discrimination in housing. The President is scheduled to send t he special message to Congress, markipg the fourth time in four years the administration has asked for civil rights laws. The new civil rights package, according to informed sour-ces, is very similar to the one passed by the House in modi- A-Drop Perfected By France (Copyright 1967 by The New York T im es Co.) PARIS-A device permitting the effective dropping of atom bombs from low altitudes has been ,periected by France, it was annow1ced Tuesday. The device is a parachute that slows the fall of the bombs from altitudes as low as several hundred yards, thus preventing them from rebounding. The announcement was made during a conducted tour of " Base 921," France's underground headquarters for her strategic air command at Taverny, about 18 miles northwest of Paris. According to the announcement, the French A-arm, or force de f r a p p e, will be equipped with such bombs as of this summer. The new device was seen as a way to slow the obsolescence of France 's present " first-generation" means of delivery for her atomic bombs, a fleet of Mirage-4 supersonic bombers. France has 51 such bombers now, with 11 more scheduled to be operational by November. These planes will be phased out in the years to come, awaiting France's first nuclear submarine around 1970. During the phasing-out period, land-based missiles are to bridge the gap. Pending the phasing out of these planes, the question had long been asked how France, in _case of war, could hope to • IV 0 ights Bill gress Today fied · form and filibustered to death by the Senate last year . The controversial " open housing" section has been revamped to pr ovide for a gradual end to discrimination in the r ental or sale of property rather than the outright ban advocated last year by the administration. The sources said the new housing proposal will be patterned after the equal employment opportunity section of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Under this provision, employers with less than 100 employes were exempt the first year. This was r educed to 75 the second year; to 50 the third year, and to a basic 25 after that. A similar three-stage operation is planned for the housing proposal. It would be voluntary the first year ; apply to large developments and apartments the se c o nd year, and to all homes after that. Opposition to the housing provision k i 11 e d the 1966 civil rights bill, although it was sharply modified by the House. The House-passed bill would have exempted all but an estimated 23 million apartments in larger buildings and homes in new developments- about 40 per cent of the nation's total housing. The chief obstacle to Senate approval was Republican leader E verett M. Dirksen, who refused to accept any housing prov ision. Without his aid, efforts to stifle the Senate filibuster failed. The new civil rights package also will include several other provisions which died last year. These would outlaw discrimination in the selection of federal, state, and local juries and strengthen federal laws forbid- IPIXies By ~ obi I ding violence and terror against Negroes and civil rights workers. New provisions in this year's program would give added powers to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission a n d grant another extension to the Civil Rights Commission. • The proposed bill would provide "cease and desist" powers to the commission which now has to go to court to move against employers who discriminate.
