Over administration protests, the Senate adopted 82 to 13 an amendment providing for a five- year prison term and a $10,000 fine for crossing state lines with intent to start a riot. Then by the narrow margin of 48 to 43 it rejected an amend ment by Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., R-Tenn., which would have removed about 29 million owner- occupied single-family dwellings, or about 44 per cent of the hous ing market, from the anti-dis crimination clause. AS NOW written, the bill pro vides that effective Jan. 1, 1970, owner-occupants of single-family homes may not discriminate if they sell through a real estate agent or broker. If they handled the sale themselves they would be free to discriminate. Baker proposed that they be permitted to discriminate, even when employing an agent, so long as they did not indicate any racial preference or intent to dis criminate to the broker. “The right to discriminate,” Baker said, “should not depend on whether the owner employs a broker.” Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-Ill., urging rejection of Baker’s pro posal, said, “We can’t afford prejudice and discrimination any more in this country.” The antiriot amendment was pressed to adoption by Sens. Frank J. Lausche, D-Ohio, and Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. It fol lows the general lines of a bill the House passed 374 to 70 dur ing last summer’s street violence. “I DO BELIEVE,” Thurmond said, “that firm action to punish those who go into cities and in cite riots will definitely alleviate this pressing problem.” Also adopted, 48 to 42, was an amendment by Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, D-Ga., making it a federal crime to injure, intimi date or interfere with a business man during a riot. Talmadge said small business men suffered heavily in last sum mer’s disorders. Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., floor manager for the adminis tration-backed civil rights meas ure, pleaded with the Senate to wait for President Johnson’s ver sion of antiriot legislation. THIS ARRIVED during the afternoon, but not before the Senate had adopted the Lausche- Thurmond proposal. The administration measure carries the same five-year, $10,- 000 fine penalties, but Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark said it was care fully drawn so as not to impede free speech or peaceful assembly. The mere advocacy of ideas or beliefs, Clark said, does not come within the bill’s definition of in citing to riot.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) _ Declaring the “stakes are too big” to allow dissension among Republicans, Gov. Ronald Reagan pledged Tuesday to support Nel son Rockefeller for president if the New York governor wins the GOP nomination. The California governor thus disagreed with criticism of Rockefeller made by Barry Gold- water — the Republican nominee Reagan wholeheartedly backed in 1964. Goldwater said Monday “I and my fellow conservatives want no part of Rockefeller.” The former Arizona senator noted that Rockefeller had not actively backed him in 1964 and said “I don’t know how I could support him.” But Goldwater said he didn’t think that’s much of a problem, as far as he’s concerned: he feels Richard M. Nixon will walk off with the presidential nomination. The matter came up at Rea gan's weekly news conference. A reporter, altering Goldwater’s statement a bit, told Reagan that Goldwater had said he wouldn’t support Rockefeller if he was selected by the convention. Rea gan was then asked “could you support Rockefeller in that even tuality ? ” Reagan responded: “Yes, I’ve told you this, I’ll support who- TWU Sophs Stage ‘Stomp’ Saturday The sophomore class of Texas Woman’s University will sponsor a “Psychedelic Stomp” dance at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Student Union.

I’m sorry. I can understand his bitterness in say ing this. I can also wish that he hadn’t, because I think we have got to follow a different path.
