8 A Sat- -My 2. "65 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH FIVE ARE KILLED Constitution Party Spokesman Assails Civil Rights Movement I CHARGES BIAS AUTO ACCIDENTS i i iSmMm- a Dmrnnm- s. i 'J i i i.i The civil rights movement was criticized last night by a spokesman for the Constitution party of Missouri as "the greatest sustained promotion in history." A St. Louis member of the party's state committee, who identified himself as John Wilson, a lecturer and writer, charged that the movement primarily was not governed by Negroes because it was "not within their intellectual qualifications." Repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is part of the party's platform.

The platform was outlined by Wilson to about 15 persons at a meeting at the Aubuchon Dennison American Legion post, 4016 Chippewa street. The party is recruiting members in the St. Louis area. Seeks Place on Ballot Efforts are under way to get the party, which is organized at the national level and in 23 states, on the ballot in the next general election, spokesmen said. Wilson contended that the Civil Rights Act would permit the emergence of a Negro voting bloc in some parts of the South that would create "a virtual welfare, communistic state south of the Mason-Dixon line." He predicted a mass exodus of white persons from the South.

The rights act violates a fundamental law that all association can only be the product of mutual consent, he said. Any violation of this principle negates the United States Constitution, he asserted. Noting that many Republicans voted for the bill, Wilson said he now thought that the Republican and Democratic parties were "acting as one under internationalist socialist ideologies," He said that because of this he views his group as the nation's second party. 'Our Last Hope "The Constitution party is the only political party in America with a strong, constructive legislative program beamed primarily at state legislatures, our last hope and last line of defense in the losing battle to stave off the socialist communistic drive," he said. The party's platform calls for restoration of constitutional checks and balances among the three government branches and for prevention of "the alteration of the Constitution, or its intents and purposes, by judicial fiat or interpretation by any Supreme Court." The platform calls also for repeal of federal income tax laws, the limited nuclear test ban treaty, the United Nations treaty act and legislation that "impairs the right of the individual to determine what is to be done in respect to his own health." Property rights of citizens must be protected by removing statutory obstacles to Individual enterprise and Federal Government ownership of any business not specified in the Constitution should be eliminated, the platform says.

NEW U.S. POLICY ON SEAMEN'S PAY SUBSIDY GRANTS WASHINGTON, July 24 (AP) Secretary of Commerce John T. Connor said yesterday that the Government would no longer "give routine and automatic" approval to Subsidies covering the cost of wage increases granted to maritime workers through collective bargaining agreement. Connor said the Federal Gov-ernment in effect pays the full cost of any additional wage increases granted to Workers on government-subsidized ships. The Marine Engineers Beneficial Association has been on strike more than a month in a wage dispute and other maritime unions have asked for wage increases.

Connor granted subsidies on wage increases granted to tha engineers union and the National Maritime Union in 1961 and 1963, but he said new guidelines would be followed in con-sidering subsidies for further wage costs. Tne Government grants subsidies to shipping companies to make up the difference between the wages of seamen on foreign ships and the higher wages of U.S. maritime workers. Connor said American maritime workers now receive wages about four times as high as those of foreign seamen.
