Aug. 23 (AP).| —Senator Goldwater, Republi can of Arizona, saya he thinks the Nation's racial problems cast be solved only by “moral petsuasion” He cited Atlanta as one of the best examples of cities us ing this approach. Senator Goldwater, a visitor at rollout ceremonies at nearby Marietta for the new C-141 Jet transport, told newsmen “the racial problem cannot be set tled by law.” He predicted the future will be far from calm because of the growing awareness on the part of "militant, well-educated, articulate Negroes” who know that they have been exploited economically. "I can’t buy President Ken nedy's civil rights program with the public accommodations clause, and I have grave doubts about the voting section,” the Senator said. The Arizonan said there are no political overtones to his Southern trip and had nothing to say about the possibility that he will be the Republican presidential nominee in 1964.

Robt Kennedy Gives Senate New Rights Bill Provisions By MIRIAM OTTENBERG ■ter Staff Writer Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy today gave the Sen ate Judiciary Committee a new section of the administration's package of civil rights laws dealing with non-discrimina tion in Federally assisted pro grams. He said the new provisions make it plain that “the over riding purpose of any non discrimination legislation should be to end discrimina tion, not to cut off assistance.” The civil rights bill already had a section covering State programs or activities receiv ing Federal financial assist ance. Mr. Kennedy explained that the changes spell out in positive terms and in greater detail what action is to be taken to insure against dis crimination and also provide for court review of Govern ment action ending financial assistance because of discrim ination. , Agencies Could Sue Under the new proposal, a Federal agency could bring suit to enforce compliance with its rules or end a program where discrimination continues. Either course of action, how ever, could not be taken until the non-compliance had been called to the attention of the State or local authorities and efforts had been made to win voluntary compliance. Another new provision would assure judicial review against any arbitrary action by an agency. The State or local authorities that lost Federal assistance could go to court. The Attorney General told the committee that enactment of the new provisions would provide clear authority to end discrimination in Federally as sisted programs and would put Congress clearly on record “as favoring a principle which is is basic to the ideas of this country.” Senator Keating, Republican of New York, praised the new provisions as a substantial im- the fashion race & wote in the I / I I I W M i I| ft 1I "MILLIKEN" 1 I \pK I I IN PROPORTION I | N\ I I PANTS | I \ | I New fashion fabric Royal Adagio* (Avisco* rayon/nylon) by Milliken* A I / stretches with you .. . recovers perfectly, I / / always keeps its shape with perfect fit, 11/ I 1 1 freedom and comfort.

Senator Ervin announced North Carolina, again took over the questioning in his nonstop attack on the entire civil rights package. Senaotr Ervin announced that he had found that 81,000 white persons in Massachu setts were without schooling. At the same time, Senator Ervin cited North Carolina statistics showing that illiter acy in North Carolina was among the older generation. As the debate between North Carolina and Massachusetts stretched out, the Attorney General turned prosecutor. Senator Is Questioned “Do you think there has been discrimination against Negroes?” Mr. Kennedy asked Senator Ervin pointblank. Ever See a Sea Serpent? Maybe It's Just a Salp SANDY HOOK, N. J., Aug. 23 (AP). Don’t confuse a salp with a sea serpent, a Marine authority advises. The research ship Challenger, wich first reported sighting a 40-foot sea monster of an as yet unclassified species in the Atlantic about 15 miles off of Sandy Hook, returned to port after another cruise through the area yesterday. The researchers didn’t see the serpent, but they saw salp, says John Clark, assistant director of the Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory. The salp is a cousin to the jellyfish and usually is about as big as a man’s fist. But when salps reproduce, they form long ribbonlike segments. This long string is wlggly and transparent and can well give the illusion of being a sea serpent, according to Mr. Clark, but the creature is harmless. “I would infer there has been discrimination against whites in Massachusetts,” Sena tor Ervin responded. The Attorney General re peated his question. This time Senator Ervin re sponded by saying that North Carolina, with its resources, does the best it can. Mr. Kennedy put the same question for the third time. Senator Ervin replied that he was not familiar with the States outside North Carolina and Massachusetts. The Attorney General took another tack. He asked Sen ator Ervin if he thought there had been discrimination against Negroes in Mississippi. “I don’t know.” replied Sen ator Ervin. “I haven’t inves tigated Mississippi.” “I think you should,” the At torney General told the North Carolina legislator. Mr. Clark said he thinks an epidemic of sea monster re ports will be loosed by the Challenger’s earlier report of an unknown 40-foot creature. But most likely it will be salps that the people will see, he said. Be it salp or honest-to-good ness sea serpent, the sightings predicted by Mr. Clark are coming in. At Belmar, south of Sandy Hook, a giant jelly-like creature was spotted in the ocean by a fisherman on a jetty. Elmer Tiger, 41, said he saw an almost transparent, rippling creature that was 30 to 40 feet in diameter and loked like a flexible cake of ice. The original sighting by the Challenger was made by skin diver Robert Wicklund, 25, who described the thing as 40 feet of slithering serpent, about five inches thick and seven or eight inches wide.
