Rockefeller said yesterday America should "take the forward road" and 4ndicated he was the man best suited to lead the way. Rockefeller took a collective slap at President John F. Kenne- dy and Sen. Barry Goldwater (R- Ariz) for their "extreme philoso- phies" of government. He said Kennedy favors an "all- powerful federal government dom- inating our lives," and he said Goldwater believes in a govern- ment "committed to withdraw from free world leadership and roll back the clock on social gains and human progress."' In Washington, well-heeled ad- mirers of Sen. 'Goldwater have shelled out $7000 for an in-depth survey of Republican sentiment in New Hampshire that provided some surprises. Least surprising of the results was the substantial margin Gold- water was reported to hold over Rockefeller. What was of more interest was how this small slice of GOP voters was reported to feel about the prospective candidates' personal lives and the issues. The survey reported only nine per cent of those backing Gold- water opposed Rockefeller because of his divorce. meant, they said that the boycott pulled about 150,000 children away from their desks. Officials of some schools said threats kept some pupils out of their classes. Willis was one of the chief targets of the demonstrations. Some Negro critics blame him for what they call segregation in the 550-school system. They want him ousted. They also seek an open enrollment policy. Singing pickets paraded in front of the building housing the board of education. They sang "black and white together." Some carried placards reading "Down with Ben. Amen." The boycott was directed by a special Freedom Day committee set up by the Coordinating Coun- cil of Community Organizations, an. alliance of civil-rights groups. The stayaway almost emptied Farragut High School on the Southwest side. Only 136 of a normal student body of 1700 was on hand in the Beale Elementary School. The principal reported more than 90 per cent of the youngsters failed to show up at the Isaac Newton Elementary School.

ALBERT BOUTWELL ... backs committee Birmingham's Negro .Leaders Delay Protests BIRMINGHAM () - Negro leaders held up renewal of mass demonstrations yesterday to give city officials more time to con- sider requests that Negro police- men be hired. A three-member committee of the city council earlier had refus- ed to hire Negro policemen imme- diately, but said a non-discrimina- tory employment practice was fol- lowed. Mayor Albert Boutwell, who has final responsibility for hiring city personnel, had backed the com- mittee's stand. "If Negro policemen are hired in a reasonable time, we will not demonstrate," Martin Luther King Jr. said. "If the city doesn't hire Negro policemen, there will bendemon- strations for policemen and other things." King and the Rev. Fred L. Shut- tlesworth said the Negro leaders were not setting any deadline in order to avoid the impression of using undue pressure. Committee Rejects Bids Of Alteration; Navy Refuses Proposalj For 'Off Limits' Bans By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-Supporters ofj a strong civil rights bill blocked any moves to weaken it yesterday and forced a key vote in the House judiciary committee to approve it without change. Rebelling against both the ad- ministration and the committee leadership, liberal Democrats and Republicans rebuffed efforts at compromise and moved to bring out the more sweeping bill. Jubilant backers of a strong bill said they have the votes to advance it toward House action and are confident they can hold them overnight. "Compromise is dead," one Democrat said. But chairman Emanuel Celler (D-NY), who promised the Ken- nedy administration he would fight for a compromise bill on the theory it would be more ac- ceptable to Congress, said he will continue his efforts right up to the roll call. A close vote is in prospect. The bill before the committee is a sweeping, 10-point measure out- lawing racial discrimination in virtually every phase of national life. Drafted by a subcommittee dominated by northern Democrats,. it goes far beyond the adminis- tration's recommendations. In another rights development, Rep. F. Edward Herbert (D-La) said the Navy has officially re- jected a proposal to order its men to stop patronizing bars and other public places that discriminate against Negroes. The Louisiana congressman also said the posi- tion of the Army and the Air Force "is consistent with the neg- ative attitude of the Navy." The Navy report was identified by Hebert as an official one "sub- mitted to the assistant secretary of defense for manpower in a memorandum dated July 10, 1963." th-mnem- JOSIP TITO .. addresses UN Tito Seeks Peace Code' By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS - Yugoslav President Josip Tito proposed yes- terday a high-level meeting under United Nations sponsorship to draft a code for peaceful coexist- ence among nations of the world. He spoke to a crowded session of the 111-nation General Assembly, where tight United Nations secur- ity measures kept out the general public. Despite obvious displeasure with the way New York City police were handling security problems in connection with his visit, Tito wos good-humored for the most part at a news conference that followed his Assembly speech. Brusque Once He was brusque only in dealing with a question as to when Yugo- slavia would permit the function- ing of opposition political parties and release men like Milovan Djil- as, the controversial Yugoslav writer, from, jail. Abusive demonstrators contin- ued to beset Tito, but tightened security measures kept them well at bay. However, a public recep- tion in his honor was cancelled. Demonstrations Two incidents, a street brawl and a hotel invasion by two anti- Titoists, led President John F. Kennedy to ask Secretary of State Dean Rusk for a report on the tense situation. Two anti-Tito Yugoslavians were held in $10,000 bail each dur- ing the day for last night's inva- sion of the hallway outside Tito's suite. Criminal Court Judge Ben- jamin H. Schor declared, "I want them in jail until a certain gentle- man leaves town. LONDON WP) - Brushing 'aside bitter opposition from the Labor party, Prime Minister Lord Home yesterday delayed the reopening of Parliament for two weeks. He needs the time to shed his robes of royalty, get himself elect- ed to a Parliament seat and to shape his government's policy. Home made the announcement delaying Parliament until Nov. 12 after a meeting with Labor Party Leader Harold Wilson. "We think this delay is exces- sive," Wilson told newsmen after the meeting. Last weekend, Wilson branded Home's plan as an im- pertinence. Out Since August The summer recess has kept Parliament out of session since IAug. 2. "To postpone further means that vital questions that should be de- bated will not be debated," Wil- son asserted. "We are extremely anxious that Parliament is not gagged to suit the convenience of ministers." Wilson's statement and Home's refusal to budget set a partisan tone that is likely to be felt when Parliament convenes. The . reopening of Parliament, originally scheduled for Oct. 29, is set by the Queen acting on the advice of the government. Two Reasons Home had two major reasons for seeking an extension of the sum- mer recess. First, he wants to lead the Con- servatives in person in the House of Commons. As a peer, he is not allowed on the House floor. By Nov. 12, he hopes to have shed his title-the 14th Earl of Home-and to have won a Commons seat in a Aircraft Attack American Ship Off Cuba Coast NEW YORK VP)-An American- owned ship was strafed by un- identified aircraft early yesterday off the coast of Cuba. Havana radio later said its air force attacked a ship carrying saboteurs and arms in the area. The owners of the American yessel, the J. Louis, reported no casualties during an hour-long attack, in which flares were drop- ped to light up the target. Havana radio broacast a com- munique in which the name of the ship was not given but the same locality was mentioned. It said, "Last night planes of the revolutionary air force intercepted and attacked two pirate launches while they were disembarking arms and infiltrating saboteurs into Cuba on the southern coast of Pinar del Rio. Launching an immediate in- vestigation, the State Department in Washington said, "We deplore this unprovoked attack on a ves- sel navigating the high seas . . We are investigating the facts of the case to see whether a United States protest will be made." 1 A v r"T DIMENSION <";-- special election Nov. 7 in a heavily Conservative Scottish district. Secondly, his team needs time to determine its direction. Parlia- ment traditionally opens with a speech from the throne setting out government policies. Home's course is of special sig- nificance to his Conservative par- ty because national elections must be held within a year. Noting this, Home said in a television inter- view that "the prime minister has the burden and responsibility of telling Parliament what is the policy for the last session. ON SALE TO DAY I A cloud obscuring Home's ele toral status appeared in the foi of a warning by William Marsha secretary of the Labor Party Scotland, that tle Prime Minist may not be an eligible candida Marshall said he had found lgela objection in Crieff, center the Kinross and West Perthshi constituency where Home will r for Commons. "I would be a silly fool to wa the Tories. But it is quite cle that there is something they ha omitted," he said. STUDENT PUBLICATION OF ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN I .......
