Personally, I should be very’
wary” taking their word.
General Mark Clark, Presi-
dent of The Citadel in Charles-
ton, replied with a terse, ‘‘No
comment.” He said he would
have no comment on any
phase of the test ban, nor on
the President's request for a
public debate.
Allen M, Mohn Jr., of 216 Maple
St. said, “It’s ridiculous to think
that aman of public responsibility
would believe the Russians.”
He said he thinks the whole
thing, on the part of Kennedy, is
an attempt to ‘“‘shore up his sag-
Ring prestige,’ and possibly
drag a few “fence sitters” into
supporting him.
Mohn said he thinks, with the
Russians, it is impossible ‘‘to es-
tablish any sort of rapport. with
no strings attached.”
Dr. Feltham 8. James, pas-
tor of the Main Street Meth-
odist Church, described the
Proposed test ban as ‘a fine
step — a good step — if we
could only trust the Commu-
nists.”
He expressed hope that the ban
would work, but gave it little
chance, citing the large number of
treaties the Russians have brok-
en in recent history.
Ben L. Strozier, Rock Hill Unit-
ed Fund director — “I hope it
will work out. I think it is one
of the most important ‘things to
happen in a long time and I am
gratified our government has been
able to accomplish so much.”

and THE COLUMBI
At Hearing
On Rights
WASHINGTON (AP) The
mayor of Atlanta, Ga., and the
governor of South Carolina took
opposing sides Friday on a bill to
outlaw racial discrimination in
hotels, restaurants and other pub-
lic accommodations.
Gov. Donald S. Russell of South
Carolina denounced the adminis-
tration-backed measure as ‘‘coer-
cive legislation’ which he said
“will breed resistance and per-
haps violence.”
Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. of Atlanta
said federal legislation would help
advance voluntary desegregation.
He said racial discrimination is an
all-American problem requiring
an all-American solution, and if
Congress does not pass the bill it
would “amount to an endorsement
of private business setting up an
entirely new status of discrimina-
tion throughout the nation.”
ENLIVENING ROW
fied at a hearing of the Senate
Commerce Committee which was
enlivened by a row between the
acting chairman, John O. Pastore,
D-R.L, and Sen. Strom Thurmond,
n|D-S.C.
Pastore accused Thurmond of
asking Allen “loaded’”’ and ‘‘when
did you stop beating your wife’’
type questions and declared he
was not going to stand for intimi-
witness.
Thurmond,-an opponent of the
civil rights bill, said he resented
the characterization and was not
going to have a ‘‘gag”’ imposed,
OTHER COMMENTS
Elsewhere on the civil rights
legislative front:
—Norman Thomas, 78, six-time
Socialist party candidate for presi-
dent, told a House Judiciary sub-
committee that Negro civil rights
demonstrations are fully justified
and lambasted Southern Demo-
crats who oppose: the legislation
as “wax museum politicians.” —
—Gus Tyler, assistant president
of the AFL-CIO International Lad-
jes Garment Workers Union, told
the House group that federal legis-
lation is needed because voluntary

Losing Job
WASHINGTON (AP) Air
Foree Lt. Col. John A. Powers,
controversial spokesman for the
U.S, astronauts, is losing his job.
This was confirmed Friday by
a source Within the National Aer-
onautics and Space Administra-
tion.
The souree said that while Pow-
ers, generally known to newsmen
as “Shorty,” will remain at the
Manned Space Flight Center at
Houston, Tex., he “will not be in
public affairs,”
What Powers’ new job will be,
the source would not say. Powers
is on loan to NASA from the Air
Force and is eligible for retire-
ment Next February after 20
years Of duty, including World
War II and Korea.
An Official NASA spokesman,
Julian Scheer, had no comment
on the report other than to say,
“We generally agree with what
Powers Said yesterday. I expect
an announcement will be made
next week.”
Powers was in Washington
Thursday to meet aith NASA Ad-
ministrator James W. Webb and
the deputy administrator Hugh L.
Dryden.
Afterward, Powers commented,
“T am sure my role is going to
change.”
Rumors of Powers’ resignation
— or removal — have been cir-
|culated since the 22-orbit flight of
astronaut L. Gordon Cooper Jr.
last May.
It has long been known here
that Washington felt it should
have more control over publicity

Powers resisted.

stood in the ruined streets, some
weeping, others just staring
blankly at the wreckage of their
homes.
As a safety precaution, all citi-
zens were ordered to stay out of
their homes for the next 24 hours.
EMERGENCY CENTERS
Yugoslav army units set up
emergency distribution centers
for water since the city’s supply
—as well as its telephone and
telegraph lines—was knocked out.
Army barracks and Communist
party headquarters were reported
toppled as was the four-story New
Macedonia Hotel. There were 200
guests in the hotel when the first
shock hit at 5:17 am. and
wrecked it. How many lost their
lives was not known.
It was believed some of the
guests were Americans.
Witnesses reaching Belgrade
from the stricken city reported
seeing buildings collapse before
their eyes. Among the first were
two West German girl tourists
who had spent the night at the
New Macedonia Hotel.
HOTEL COLLAPSES
“We left the hotel shortly after
5 a.m. to catch the airport bus,”
said one. “We were barely 20
yards from the hotel when the
ground began to rumble. Then we
saw our hotel collapse like a
house of cards.”
Another account came from a
Yugoslav pilot, Aleksander Bla-
gojevic.
“T saw the railroad station go
down in front of my eyes, it was
a terrible sight," he said in an
interview over Radio Belgrade.
“A woman nearby shouted for
help. It was a foreign woman

in escaping to the street. She re-
mained in her room since the
bent door prevented her from go-
ing out too. We helped her out.

Latin American nations:
He promised that such rebel-
lions would be supported by
the \Soviet Union.
Castro, addressing a mass
rally \in Havana on the 10th
anniversary of the blow that
ultimately led to his takeover
‘in 1959) declared his revolu-
tion had| benefitted the Cuban
people.
Cashto| added in’ a broad-
cast mohitored here: ‘What
has done in Cuba also
is possible to do in many
other Latin American coun-
tries.”
Castro declared: “‘All coun+
tries that do what the Cuban
people have dite will have
the decided support of the
entire Socialist camp.’
Latin America, the bearded
prime minister shouted, “‘is
a continent in erisis, a con-
tinent where revolution is in-
evitable.
‘In Argentina, every day
there is news of a military
revolt and more counterblows.
That is the representative
democracy impelled by the
Yaukees, in whose country the
majority of the people can-
not vote.
The prime minister told
Cheering crowds: “What hap-
pened in Cuba was not a
miracle. It can occur exactly
the same in many other Latin
American countries.”
Casiro said some Latin
American countries are stable
enough not to be included in
the revolutionary belt, and de-
clared: “The countries with
the least political stability in
Latin America are those that

dent Arturo Frondizi of Ar-
gentina), of Ydigoras (ex-
President Miguel Ydigoras of
Guatemala), that has occurr-
ed with those governments
servile to imperialism?”
Referring to Venezuela, Cas-
tro said, “There they have

is a coup, he goes into rage,

_ternity and soudarity to the

bility, prices advanced in June
for most major types of goods
and services. ‘Substantial increas-
es were noted in food, tobacco and
used cars. New increases in salés
taxes also helped boost living
costs.
FURTHER INCREASE
Arnold Chase, the bureau's as-
sistant commissioner for prices,
predicted a further increase for
July, but said it would be mostly
seasonal.
The new June index means that
it now costs 66 cents more to buy
the items that $10 would have pur-
chased in the 1957-59 period.
Chase said the story of the liv-
ing cost rise in June was “pri-
marily the story of sugar, cigar-
ettes and higher taxes.’’ Seasonal
trends helped too, he said, partic-
ularly in used cars for the sum-
mer driving season.
Chase indicated, however, that
the general price rise did not
point to an inflationary trend but
reflected more past inflationary
pressures than future.
He said this was true of cigar-
ettes. The cigarette industry is
trying to bring nonfilter prices in
line with those for filter types as
well as trying to meet rising
costs, Chase said.
OTHER HIKES
Indicating another probable ad-
vance for July, Chase said, is the
fact that meats usually go up
this time of the year along with
eggs and dairy products and used
ears and gasoline. Medical costs
can be expected to be rising, he
said.
The bureau reported that net
spendable earnings of factory
production workers increased sub-
stantially in June for the second
straight month.
Take-home gross earnings, less
federal income and Social Securi-
ty tax deductions, advanced by
over 90 cents in June to a record
$88.38 for the average worker with
three dependants and $80.57 for
the worker without dependents.
A strong factor in the food price
rise of eight-tenths of one per cent
in June was the sharp boost in
the cost of sugar. Prices for this
product rose by 32 per cent in
June and were 44 per cent above
a year before.
“We may see a decline but sug-
ar prices are not likely to go
back to where they were,” Chase
said. “There will be high prices
for sugar for some time to come.””

ONLY FOR POOR
R. Carter Pittman, Dalton, Ga.,
attorney, told the Senate Com-
merce Committee that race mix-
ing is only for the poor, not for
“the hypocritical plutocrat.’’
Noting that the public accommo-
dation bill would exempt bona fide
private clubs, Pittman said:
“The exemption in this bill is a
carefully devised rat hole for
those who spend their time
preaching integration for the poor
whites, while philosophizing about
it over cocktails within the segre-
gated shelters of exempt clubs.”
Pittman, whom Thurmond intro-
duced to the committee as ‘‘one of
the ablest constitutional lawyers’’
in the country, presented a
lengthy paper contending that the
history of the commerce clause
makes it clear this never was in-
tended to be used as the basis
for such legislation as the public
accomodations bill.
The measure relies chiefly on
the ecommerce clause but also is
based on the 14th Amendment's
equal protection clause.
Pittman said he had listened to
seen the Atlanta mayor in an in-
tegrated restaurant.
“Don't you think that’s an un-
fair statement to make when the
mayor is not here?” asked Pas-
tore.
Pittman said he did not realize
,|Allen had left, and Sen, Hugh
Scott, R-Pa. said: “As a Southern
gentleman, don’t you think you
should withdraw that statement?”
Pittman replied that he thought
Allen would confirm what he had
said if the mayor were present.

HAVANA (AP)—Premier Fidel
Castro told a group of Americans
Friday that he would like to talk
to the people of the United States
“but you must invite me to your
house.”
Otherwise, Castro said, “Jt is
difficult.”
Cubans in Castro's entourage
declined to interpret the premier's
informal remark, made at the
close of a garden party for inter-
national visitors to the tenth an-
niversary celebration of the attack
on Fort Moncada, which marked
Castro's rise to power.
A Cuban official suggested that
Castro could have meant he might
attend ihe September session of

sembly at which Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan has indicated
a meeting of himself, Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev and President
Kennedy,
Castro's manner was extreniely
-|American group by an American
friendly as he greeted the Ameri-
cans. Cuba's seizure of the Ameri-
can embassy in Havana in reprisal
for a U.S. freeze of Cuban funds
was nof mentioned by the Cuban
premier.
The garden party, in the grounds
of a mansion formerly belonging
to one of Cuba’s sugar barons,
was attended by about 500 per-
sons. These included a delegation
of Communist Chinese naval offi-
cers in impeccable white uni-
forms. :
“Socialism in our country is a
little less informal,” one of the
officers remarked.
At the time a combo on the im-
provised stage was beating out a
tune as a roundly built Cuban
woman belted out the words.
These were interpreted for the
Catholic priest, the Rev. Felix Mc-
Gowan.
“This is a country that has con-
quered inequality,” the words
went in part. “We have troubles,
but we will all work together with
Fidel.”
Father McGowan — reared in
New Rochelle, N.Y. —. hesitated
a little at the line which went
“Hail Mary, brown-skinned girl.”
Fireworks exploded over the
garden at the party’s climax.
Then as the Internationale was
played with a Cuban rhythm, the
crowd stood and Casto moved
