WASHINGTON (A>) — The Civil Rights Commission has handed President Kennedy a prickly po litical package by recommending' he consider withholding federal funds from segregationist Missis sippi. The commission suggested that Kennedy explore his authority to deny the state about $650 million it receives annually from the fed eral government.This handed him an escape hatch; he could decide he lacked such authority. There was a suggestion too from the commission that Kenne dy study whether legislation is needed to prevent federal funds being paid out to a state which “continues to refuse to abide by the Constitution.” The political implications of acting-or not acting-could have a direct bearing on the outcome of Kennedy’s expected bid for re- election in 1964. mendation that Congress “consid er seriously” legislation to cut off Mississippi funds. The feeling in Congress is that if the federal government could halt payments for highways, flood control, military contracts and ci vilian payrolls in Mississippi in a controversy which did not in volve these programs, it could act similarly in other states for the same or other reasons. WASHINGTON (A>) — Texas now has more living former mem bers of Congress — 27 — tnan incumbent members — 25. Twelve former members still reside here, among them four who are now federal judges. The latest to join the local group is ex-Rep. J. T. Rutherford of Odessa, who has established a public relations firm. A survey show that 14 former members, including one active and one retired federal judge and one state district judge now re side in Texas. The 27th former member, Wingate Lucas, now is an attorney with headquarters in New York City. The over-all group of former members includes six who serv ed in the Senate. One is Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, who also served in the House for years. The others are former Sens. Tom Connally, Price Daniel, W. Lee O’Daniel, William Blakely and 811year-old Earle B. May- field, of Tyler, who served in the Senate from 1923 to 1929. The oldest living former mem ber is 94-year-old John Nance Garner of Uvalde.

Here is the way many politi cians viewed the matter: Kennedy’s stock with the Ne gro minorities which influence the political decisions of the electoral vote-heavy industrial states would slump if he took no action to sus tain the rights of citizens the commission said had been “ shot, set upon by vicious dogs, beaten and otherwise terrorized because they sought to vote.” If the President cut off Mis sissippi funds, he would risk los ing support among white voters in the South. The 81 elector al votes he got from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas gave him his win ning margin in 1960.
