Johnson Wants
Fast Senate Vote
On Rights Bill
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
, WASHINGTON GP>—Sen. Lyn-
■ don Johnson of Texas is think-
. ing in terms of fast Senate ac
tion on a civil rights bill, once
the House has completed its job,
"and in terms of a bill with prob-
■' ably five parts.
The tall Texan, leader of the
Senate Democrats, appears con
fident the Senate will get down
to business in a hurry after the
House has acted and that Con-
..gfess will produce a good but
■ moderate piece of legislation.
The House, wrangling over a
cjviF, rights bill since March 10,
should finish up this week. In
the House, where debate is lim
ited, this will be rather speedy,
considering the opposition
Southerners put up on a subject
like this.
As for the Senate it’s an edu-
'xated guess it will get through
with its own bill April 2, a week
from Saturday, after debating
civil rights since Feb. 15. There
again the Southerners slowed
action to a crawl.
The Senate bill may well be
different from the House ver
sion. But there can be no new
civil rights law until both Houses
. . agree on a single bill. So the
/ battle by no means will be over
when the Senate finishes in
. April.
The Senate bill may be a mix-
. ture of the Senate’s own ideas,
some of the proposals of the
Eisenhower administration, and
some from the House bill.
As Johnson sees it the bill as
passed by the Senate may:
1. Have a voting rights sec-
'tion. This means protection for
Negro voting rights in the South
through a referee system or
something similar to it. The
Senate hasn’t acted on this one
yet. The House approved Tues
day the plan for court-appointed
federal agents, called referees,
to oversee registration, voting
and vote-counting in areas where
Systematic discrimination against
Negroes is found.
2. Provide criminal penalties
for interstate transportation of
any explosive intended for bomb
ing public or private buildings,
not just integrated schools. The
Senate already has approved this
section. The House tackles it
today.
3. Make it a federal offense to
interfere with court orders. The
Senate previously knocked down
this idea, but may reinstate it in
some form. What form isn’t
clear yet.
4. Order voting records pre
served.
5. Provide education for serv
icemen’s children in areas where
schools are closed to avoid inte
gration.
How could Johnson hope to
finish a bill by April 2 if the
Senate, where the Southerners
have filibustered and blocked,
has hardly moved after more than
a month of talking?
Johnson is quite an operator
in getting Senate action when he
wants it. He is the Capitol Hill
apostle of the “let’s reason to-
, gether” approach to warring
groups of senators.
Furthermore, if Johnson and
others in the Senate finally tell
the Southerners there to pipe
down and let the work go on, the
Southerners can hardly claim
they haven’t had a chance to
speak their piece.
Shutting . them up should be
easy once the rest of the Senate
really wants to. The Southern
opposition totals only a solid 18
out of a total membership of 100.

Colleges Continue Debating
Compulsory ROTC Question
President Richard A. Harvill
of the University of Arizona has
approved the circulation of peti
tions asking for the repeal of
compulsory ROTC on the Ari
zona campus, according to Jon
Carter, student spokesman for
the group of students who wish
to circulate the petition.
In his letter to Carter, Har
vill said, “I have not yet seen
any valid arguments against
compulsory basic ROTC.”
In approving the petition cir
culation Harvill said that the
Morrill Act, the foundation of
land grant colleges, does not and
never has required ROTC.
Harvill stated that the Morrill
Act only requires that education
in military science and tactics be
available in all Land-Grant insti
tutions.

“When a private college ac
cepts government gifts it lets
down its guard and invites inter
ference to the pursuit of free
inquiry and untrammeled schol
arship,” stated the trustees of
Claremont Men’s College, in a
flat stand against accepting fed
eral gifts.
The board said that since Con
gress makes the rules for the
expenditure of public money,
they feel that it would be im
possible for an independent col
lege to accept such gifts without
hazard of federal interference.

A new Ripon College student
loan program which offers the
same favorable financial terms
as the National Defense Educa
tion Act loan program has drawn
high praise from U. S. officials.
Officials of the Office of Edu
cation, Department of Health,
Education and Welfare said that
they hope other colleges will fol
low Ripon’s example in offering-
financial terms which includes
three per cent interest rate, 10-
year repayment period, debt for
giveness for public school teach
ers and one-year moratorium af
ter graduation before payments
become due.

Lucky Strike s Dr. Frood reveals
A Foolproof Method for
Rating Your College
Dear Dr. Frood: Do you believe in the
theories that Shakespeare was actually
either Marlowe or Bacon?
English Major
Dear English: All rot. I have done con
siderable research on the subject and can
prove that Marlowe was actually Bacon,
and that Bacon (who was a bit of a ham)
was, in reality, Marlowe, and that Shake
speare, an itinerant grape squeezer who
could neither read nor write, was, in fact,
Queen Elizabeth. 1
cOo ccn
Dear Dr. Frood: I have a very serious
personal problem. I am secretly engaged
to three students here. J ust between you
and me, however, they are all fools. 1
really love a certain Professor Bowdley,
who is married. What should I do?
Needless to say, this letter is not for
publication. Millicent Tweedley
Dear Millicent: Your secret is safe with
me. I’ve left strict instructions not to print
our correspondence. Confidentially, how
ever, you’ll never get Bowdley. I wrote
Mrs. Bowdley about the situation, in
order to advise you better, and she says
Professor Bowdley is too old for you.
ufr C03
Dear Dr. Frood: Whenever I am with
girls, I stutter. Frankly, 1 think it is
because my parents never told me about
the birds and the bees. What can I do?
A. W. Shucks
Dear A. W.: You had better read some
books on the subject. I especially recom
mend Mildred Twiddle’s “The Bees Are
Your Friends,” and Agnes Moffet’s
“Songs in the Treetops.”
cOo (0)
Dear Dr, Frood: Is there any accepted
method for determining the academic
ratings of American universities and
coUeges? /. V. Leeger
Dear I. V.: Of course. Simply take the
total number of graduates and divide
by money.
Dear Dr. Frood: Whenever I put my
Lucky down, my roommate picks it up
and finishes it. How can 1 stop him?
Put Upon
Dear Put: Light both ends.
Dear Dr. Frood: I am just a little bit
worried about exams. I have not attended
any classes this semester. 1 have not
done any reading, either. I must be in
Aiken for the polo matches until the day
before exams and, of course, will be
unable to study. Any suggestions?
Buzzy
Dear Buzzy: Do you think professors’
hearts are made of stone? Just tell them
what you told me. I am sure they will
understand, and if they don’t excuse you
altogether from exams, they certainly will
arrange some nice little oral quiz you can
take at your leisure later on in the summer.
