The bill would arm the gov. jernment with several new weapons to combat racial crimination, but nearly all the controversy surrounds a proposal aimed at improving housing opportunitles for Negroes. Although it is much than the outright ban on disdiscrimination in housing the administration requested, and leave most individually owned residential homes untouched, the provision has been bitterly attacked, particularly in Death Penalty Ban Goes Before Senate WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Philip A.

Hart, introduces, today a bill to abolish the death penalty for federa! crimes and substitute life imprisonment. "The death penalty is a sym bol of a dying order of vengeance and death," the Michigan Democrat said, adding that there is no evidence that capital punishment deters crime. The bill would not affect capital punishment under state Jaws. But Hart said 13 states already have abolished the death penalty and he hoped his bill would encourage other states to do so. He also said 72 nations have eliminated executions either by law or custom, with Great Britain "the niost recent and imapressive example." "The death penalty is incffeclive in deterring crime," Hart said in a prepared Senate speech.

"It discriminates against the poor and friendless. And the mistakes, few but inevitable, which are made in its plication are Federal law carries the death penalty for such crimes as kid. naping, espionage, treason, aircraft piracy, train robbery and assassination. Military percan be executed for aidthe enemy, cowardice, desertion, sedition and spying. In addition, the District of Columbia, run by federal law, has capital punishment for rape and murder.

Hart, in abolishment of the death penalty in these cases, cited a mass of statistics that he said had convinced him capital punishment is ineffective in deterring crime.

"We hope the community will join in because this is for the help of the community as a whole." Asked if only two would help, he said, "There's a possibility it won't have much of an effect, but the two pickets will reveal the whole story." Rev. Elridge and the other CORE picket carried signs saying "CORE asks for jobs that we may be taught to earn our daily bread," "Equal opportunity for all," and "Jobs are secur.

Maeras (Continued From Page 1) too (in the pending suit)." He suggested that possibly the reason Missouri does not want to wait for a preliminary Investigation to be made is because any such study will take some time. However, he estimated that a court suit will take at least a year to decide. "When the new bridge opens, we'll be out of business anyway," Maeras said. The mayor asserted again that he does not believe Missouri has any jurisdiction over the Chain of Rocks Bridge because Madison is an Illinois municipal corporation.

He said Hyder had been given a copy of the law but apparently is of the opinion that it is 'no good."

As a result it has much less support than its predecessors.

Further Clouding its chances is widespread confusion among members over the actual effect of the housing provision, adopted as compromise by the Judiciary Committee. Aimed mainly at real estate agents, builders and others in the business of selling or renting housing, the provision exexmpts homeowners if they engage in no more than two real estate transactions in a year. Also Exempt Its author, Rep. Charles M. Mathias says a real estate agent acting on behalf of an exexmpt owner also would be But many others, Including Atty.

Gen. Nicholas Katzenbach, real estate lobbyists and civil rights leaders, disagree. They say the language is clear, that homeowner appears to be exempt only if he sells or rents his house himself without using an agent, and that agents are not exempt under any circumstances. Mathias is willing to have clarifying language added to carry out his intent, but civil rights groups oppose such a change as further weakening of an already watered-down provision. Provisions Obscured the The months of wrangling over housing provision have obscured 1 other provisions of the bill, dealing with jury selection, school desegregation and protection of Negroes' rights.

The bill would set up a new procedure for selecting federal jurors to insure against discrimination and authorize the attorgeneral to seek federal court action against state jury systems proven to be inatory. The attorney general would be authorized to take direct court action to desegregate schools instead of waiting for complaints to be filed, as present law provides.
