Morse's Voice in D.C. Unit to Enliven Fight on Segregation By Don S. Warren The assignment of Oregon’s independent, Wayne Morse, to the Senate District Committee is expected to encourage cam paigns to end racial segregation here and to give Washington a "home rule” government. More than four months ago, soon after Republicans took con trol of the Executive Branch and Congress, he offered an all-out bill to end segregation in the National Capital. He is a supporter, too, of bills to let this city elect its own city government with powers to pro claim local level policies, though they remained subject to con gressional veto. He also is expected to push for elimination of pollution from the Potomac River along with clean up drives for other rivers of the country. Didn’t Want Post. The sleek-haired former law school dean, who came to the Senate in 1945 and lately set some new talkathon records in his fight against the Tidelands bill, didn’t want the District Com mittee post. But he gave notice recently, while his committee assignment issue was pending, that if he landed on the District Commit tee, "They will know I am there.” He left Washington late yes terday to make a speech at York, Pa., soon after he had lost his fight to regain his old places on the major Labor and Armed Services Committee. He was due back here today. His aides said there is no question about his willingness to serve now on the District and the Public Works Committees. Effect Uncertain. How his vote on the District Committee may change its deci sions remains to be seen. A majority of its earlier seven members already are co-sponsors of the home rule bill. Action, however, has been delayed to await the Supreme Court ruling on segregation cases, particularly the Thompson Restaurant case involving the right of Congress to delegate policy-making powers to a city government body. He can be expected to push for action on his anti-segregation bill, referred to the District Com mittee last January. This would outlaw the exclu sion or segregation of persons because of race, color or religion in the public schools or in any place of public accommodation resort, entertainment or amuse ment in the District. It calls for the presidential ap pointment of a one-member com mission, at $15,000 a year, who could hear complaints and issue orders against discrimination, subject to reviews by the courts. Provides SSOO Fine. Licenses could be revoked or v. thheld for violation, under his bill, and there could be a fine up to SSOO or a year in jail, or both, for any one found guilty of forcibly resisting, impeding, in timidating or interfering with the Commission Against Discrimina tion or one of its agents or em ployes. Assuming he will acept his Dis trict post, there will be eight members. There are four Republicans: Senator Case of South Dakota, chairman, and Senators Barrett of Wyoming, Beall of Maryland SAVE HUNDREDS OFDOLLARS BIG CAR IN THE LOWER-PRICED RANGE Not art "extra” to pay for. ..

Eisenhower was, greeted by young people during his campaign last year lingers in the collective Republican mind. And lingering, these memories have given a new spark to the movement for lowering the vot ing age so citizenship may cap italize on youthful enthusiasm. Leonard W. Hall, chairman of the Republican National Com mittee, announced last night that he is throwing the full pres tige of his position behind the movement. And, he added. President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon are wholeheart edly supporting the move. At present, Georgia is the only State permitting 18-year-olds to vote. But Mr. Hall credits the record-breaking turnout of 14 million additional voters last year largely to the get-out-the vote campaigns of youth organi zations. and Payne of Maine. There are three Democrats: Neely of West Virginia, former chairman; Gore of Tennessee and Mansfield of Montana. The eighth would be Senator Morse, Independent. Under the Senate’s new rules this year, there were supposed to be nine, but Democratic Sen ator Willis Smith of North Caro lina, a member in the past Con gress, resigned from the com mittee last January.
