The check is for $176.40, or $123 for him and $53.40 for Mrs. Kappel, beside him. Attempt To Reopen Racial Pools Halted The Negro community here is still chuckling over the rebuff L. C. Bates, Arkansas field director for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, handed a local American Legion Post in its scheme to reopen the city's swimming pools on a segregated basis. Late, last month, Mr. Bates discovered that a committee from the M. M. Eberts American Legion Post had been talking with city officials about buying the two city, owned swimming pools. The plan was to purchase the pools and operate them as private clubs for Legion members and auxilitry groups. One would be operated for whites and the other for Negroes, managed by a Negro Legion Post. Both pools hive been closed since last June when a group of Negroes, including Mr. Bates, were refused admission to the white pool. When the NAACP field director got wind of the Legion's plans, he issued a statement opposing the sale of the pools and promising to try to block it some way if it were tried. "We don't intend to let it go through with out doing something," he said, adding: "If the M. M. Eberts American Legion Post thinks they can purchase the swimming pools and operate them on a segregated basis without trouble they are bably mistaken. "If the city directors think they can sell taxpayers' property to dodge the responsibility of operating within the framework of the law then their usefulness is outmoded." Throughout the Controversy city officials have remained tightlipped. The Legion Post, caught with its segregation scheme showing, has backed off, leaving the swimming pool issue dry.

Bagge, an appointee to the Federal Power Commission accused of being "a leading Deerfield, Ill., segregationist," was questionel again last Thursday by the Senate Commerce Commitee. After the session, Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D.-Wash.), the committee chairman, said no action was taken on the nomination A vote on the matter was postponed until the next business meeting of the committee on Tuesday, May 18. Last April 3, the Americans for Democratic Action sent a letter to Magnuson opposing Badge's confirmation on the basis of "his segregationist history." The ADA absolved President Johnson, of blame in appointing Bagge to fill the FPC vacancy, saying the White House could not reasonably be expected to know of the" appointee's "Leadership in in segregationist activities." The delay in Bagge's confirmation hinghes on the question of whether he accurately described the part he played several years ago when he testified before the committee on a Deerfield, Ill., housing, controversy. Leon Shull, ADA national director, said a pro - segregation speech made by Bagge on a bond issue referedum at Deerfield "brought to public view the community's plan for solving the 12-day old racial integration issue, by condemning the Progress (Developments Corporation) properties and obtaining the necessary public support for the bond issue."

NAACP Calls For Expansion Of Executive Housing order The NAACP has called on President Lyndon B. Johnson to expand (he Executive Housing Order originally Issued by President Kennedy. In a letter to the President on May 5, NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins called attention to the fact that "discrimination and segregation in housing lie at the very root of the wide range of problems which beset the Negro." Segregated housing conditions, Mr. Wilkins said, "not only reinforce de facto segregation in schools and public facilities, but also seriously Jeopardize progress in other areas of civil rights." Specifically, the NAACP asked that the executive order be extended to prohibit discrimination by ail federally-aided banks and lending institutions, whether chartered, regulated or insured by the Federal government. Also, the order should be made retroactive to Include all federallyaided housing built prior to November, 1962. The current order coders only housing built since that date. Administrative regulations should be rescinded which have resulted in excluding certain types of housing such as one-and-two-family owner-occupied homes, even though federally-aided. The President's Committee on Equal Opportunity in Housing should be given "specific authority and broader responsibility to insure vigorous and effective implementation." If these recommendations were followed over 80 per cent of existing housing would be barred from discrimination. The present order covers only approximately 10 per cent of housing in the country. The NAACP proposals were discussed at length at a conference in Washington. May 6, which civil rights leaders had with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Representing the NAACP at, the conference were John A. Morsell, assistant executive director, and Robert L. Carter, general counsel, who pointed out the inadequacies of the present order. The conference with the Vice President, which continued for several hours, was called by the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing of which Algernon D. Black is chairman. In addition to the NAACP and other civil rights organizations, the conference was attended by representatives of religious, labor and civic organizations affiliated with the National Committee.

Strom Thurmond, R.S.C. predicted here Sunday night civil rights leaders will "never be satisfied with less man the total destruction of society based on rule of law." Thurmond raid the civil rights movement is "an insurrection rather than a reform movement." He maid the "campaign of civil disobedience seeks to undermine, through defiance, the whole spectrum of the rules of society. The movement seeks to undermine the rule of law itself." Thurmond was speaking at the Carolina. Forum, a student political organization on the University Of North Carolina campus. He said that recent years "have witnessed increasing erosion cf the Constitution in the form of evasion, usurpation and circumvention, which in turn, has constricted individual freedm, inhibited diversity, deluded stability and invited disorders." Thurmond said the voting rights bill now before congress is a proposal to "pervent the Constitution" and is "particularly profane for it masquerades as an attempt to enforce a provision of the constitution itself." He said it is the "most abysamal departure from, and contradiction to, the constitution which has confronted this congress and the nation in a century, if not in all time." He said the bill Would invalidate a whole spectrum ot voter qualification procedures currently imposed by u number of states, particularly the requirement for proof of literacy. On the Selma, Ala., march, Thurmond paid the "complete dis dain for law by the leaders of the civil disobedience operation was clearly proved at Selma. And deep down, we all know that the demand will continue to grow and will never be satisfied with less than the total destruction of any structure of society based on rule of law," he said.
