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. Before becom
ing vice president in 1933, Garn
er spent 30 years in the House.
Some other former members
living here, in addition to John
son, Connally and Rutherford,
are:
Cheif Judge Marvin Jones of
the U. S. Court of Claims; Chief
Judge Eugene Worley of the
Court of Custom and Patent Ap
peals; Judge Paul Kilday of
the Court of Military Appeals;
Judge Eugene Black of the U. S.
Tax Court.

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.
Kennedy could expect no ac
