Today in History (By United Press International) Today is Friday, May 15, the 136th day Of 1964 with 230 to follow. On this day in history In 1765, the British Parliament enacted statute making it mandatory tor American Colonists to supply housing and supplies for British troops. In 1930, the first stewardess was em- ploved on a United Air Line flight from San Francisco to Cheyenne, Wyo. In 19J2, wartime gasoline rationing Started in 17 Eastern states. In 1963, Mai.

l. Gordon Cooper made the longest space flight for an American 22 orhits In a Mercury capsule called Faith VIII. A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY, American patriot Patrick Henry said, "Have but one lamp by which my feet are guid-j ed, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of ludging the futurei but by the past." I i a WAUitU A ft EUCUC (X) Kfl 'SKIM 1 I Imy LaTcrhm -4 'MAtllSON 11 Will- and welfare programs could do the job, particularly the federal vocational education and man power retraining programs, When asked, Martin conceded that while he voted for the voca tional education bill he had opposed manpower retraining. Snyder said he had voted against both programs.

Like 188 Years Ago Proposing that free enterprise be allowed to do the work of ending poverty, Snyder told the news conference: "I don't think that general low er-income areas in the country are very different from what we had 188 years ago." Snyder said, "We found tenants living in three- and four-room shacks with cracks in the floor ing, leaking roofs, broken wood' burning cook stoves, some at least 50 years old, and no toilet facili ties." He said the tenants paid Mrs. Johnson $60 a year rent and were required to do repair work them selves. Snyder said the sharecroppers turned over one-fourth of their cotton to Mrs. Johnson each year. "We saw people living in de plorable poverty," Snyder said, 'with little evidence of concern by their millionaire "If I owned property like that," Martin said, "I would believe it was my moral obligation to build decent housing." Mrs.

Carpenter said the land, in Autauga and Chilton counties, was partially inherited and partially purchased by Mrs. Johnson. Her explanation continued. "At the time this land was in herited by Mrs. Johnson, it was farmed primarily in cotton by ten ants, many of whom had lived on the land for decades.

There were 14 tenant houses in bad condition on the land. "As cotton became less and less a profitable crop in this section of Alabama, Mrs. Johnson determined to place as much of the land in timber as possible and has done so. Some of the tenants, however, did not want to leave the land where they and their parents had lived for many years. Thus, Mrs.

Johnson allowed those who desired to do so to continue to stay as long as they wished. Four Homes Used "There are only five houses left on the land and only four of these are used by tenants of Mrs. Johnson. Two pay a cash rent of $5 per month, which is about suf ficient to cover the taxes and the general management expenses of the property. Two of the other tenants still living on the place continue to pay rent in the form of a portion of their cotton crop Mrs.

Johnson's total rental in come from the property during 1963 was $1,189.80, or about 32 cents per acre. "Expenses on the land included $478 in taxes and approximately $200 in management fees. After; deduction of taxes and other ex penses, Mrs. Johnson's income from the land in 1963 was approx imately 14 cents per acre "What would they (critics) have Mrs. Johnson do? Makethem (tenants) move off the land?" i i Council Approves 2nd Dogcatcher A total of $4,470 for a second dog-catcher, a radio dispatched truck for him, and equipment was approved Thursday night by the City Council.

The unanimous action had the agreement of Mayor Henry E. Reynolds, who opposed It on Tues day. Reynolds said the police department will also work more closely with the Dane County Humane Society, whose dogcatcher is available to the city mornings. The Mayor also said the police department will begin to put teeth into the ordinance barring dog owners from letting their pets run lose. Instead of return ing them with warnings, as is now done, warrants will be served on the owners in the future, he said.

The measure to hire the second dogcatcher was pushed strongly by Aid. George OIp, 22nd ward, on the basis of a serious dog bite case in his ward recently. Thurs day, he said the dog was wounded in the day by a resident with a shotgun, and was also trailed un successfully by the sheriff's de partment dog. Hearing Is Set on Assess Issue A public hearing on the ques tion of chnaging Madison's property assessments to 100 per cent of market value was scheduled for May 26 by the City Council Thursday night. The action came near the end of the council's five-hour session which ended early today.

The only opposition came from Aid. Thomas Stavrum, 11th ward, but was quickly brushed aside. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m., preceding the regular committee of the whole session. Aid. Richard Kopp, 18th ward, asked for the hearing to explain what is involved in the process and what its impact will be.

Kopp stressed he was not opposing the change. Janesville Woman Hurt in Crash Here Mrs. Lucille Allen, 46, Janesville, was reported in "fair" condition in St. Mary's hospital with hip and back injuries after a two-car crash on the W. Beltline at Seminole Highway shortly after I p.m.

Ex-President Harry S. Truman sat at Mr. Johnson's side In a country church where the last rites were held for the doughty chairman of the House Appropria-t i committee who died in Washington Tuesday. Mrs.

Truman joined the President and Mr. Truman in the first, pew of the red brick First Baptist; Church. Behind them were members of the Missouri congressional delegation and ranking mem bers of the Appropriations committee. They listened as the Rev. Paul E.

Grimes compared the veteran Democratic congressman with the Old Testament prophet, Elijah. Both were powerful men, he said, one dedicated to God and the other to the service of his country. And both were taken in the timt of their greatest service to oth ers. Cannon was a 33rd degree Ma son, and his funeral service fol lowed the Masonic rite called the 18th degree of Rose Croix. Four fellow Masons dressed in long, black and white funeral robes with white crosses on their chests and black and white mitres on their heads spoke eulogies.

The Scottish rite trio from St. Louis sang "Oh, Galilee," and the Ma sonic chant "So Mote It Be" was intoned.

How Districts Stand Curbs Put on Shipments to Red Cuba fFROM PAGE 1J spokesman said the license requirement is not an embargo. "We merely want to put these things under surveillance," he said. The only exception will be gift parcels. U.S.

officials were reported puzzled by Cuba's interest in such a large amount of pharmaceuticals, especially in view of the $29 million worth they obtained from the U.S. last year as ran som for the Bay of Pigs prisoners. However, it was understcod that the $10 million order was intended to meet continuing needs on a long-range basis. A similar action was taken a few weeks ago when the Cuban government sought to buy $2 million worth of U.S. lard through Canadian traders.

The department issued an order at that time requiring specific authority to ship lard to Cuba. Despite the exemption, there have been few shipments of foods and medicines to Cuba in the past 3'i years. This has been due largely to U.S. restrictions on shipping. In the pre-Castro years, exports to Cuba averaged about $500 million a year, and the Cubans sold almost as much to the U.S.

The State Department denied Castro's charge that the U.S. had hand in Wednesday's raid on sugar mill and port in Eastern Cuba, Venezuela, which began the campaign to isolate Cuba, is calling for a meeting of foreign min isters of the American republics the wake of Brazil's break in diplomatic relations with Castro. Venezuela wants the foreign ministers to order a collective break in diplomatic relations and the institution of an economic embargo on Cuba. Latin American countries have 'almost no commerce with Cuba, but a collective action might boost U.S. efforts to persuade its European allies not to trade with Castro.

Four of the 19 Latin American republics still have diplomatic relations. Of these, Uruguay and Bolivia might be expected to go along with a move to impose sanctions, but Chile and Mexico probably would hold back. INVITATION ACCEPTED ADDIS ABABA. Ethiopia Emperor Haile Selassie has ac cepted Premier Jomo Kenyatta's invitation to visit Kenya June 1. marked the "overriding of an in dividual senator's right by the majority, by the presiding officer, by the parliamentarian, and by the majority leader." 'Rooftop Down' Mansfield said senators "who have been hurt so unjustly" should go to the Rules commit tee and urged Case, Williams, and others "to put up or shut up." "Let us be done with resolutions that infer that the committee is not doing its job resolutions that infer that the Senate and all within it are covered with dirt from the rooftop down," he said.

Case repeatedly objected to Mansfield's denunciation of "sly innuendoes" and contended that his own rights had been violated. Integrity Impugned Kennedy ruled that "the privileges (of Case) have not been violated and (he) will take his chair." Mansfield, he held, had not been out of order. Mansfield charged that the integrity of all senators had been impugned by the Williams reso- ution inasmuch as it implied wrong-doing by some and did not name the accused. He challenged Williams to name names. Before the final vote, the Senate adopted, 36 to 33, a modification of the Williams proposal providing that any member of the Rules committee could request the appearance of witnesses and the request would be honored.

Make Peace This was offered by Sen. Carl T. Curtis (R-Neb.) a member of the investigating group, who has complained that Democrats have "whitewashed" the Baker case and refused to call GOP-suggest- ed witnesses. After the floor argument, Mans field said he had made peace with Case. I would hope this would blow over, ne said.

"We all get ex cited." Case said, "This grievous mat ter was nothing personal." He added, however, that he felt the majority leader had acted "in a domineering and most unfavorable way." He said he would ask the parliamentarian for a written explanation on the entire ruling by the chair. Tempestuous Break However, both men praised Kennedy for his handling of the incident. The bitter party quarrel provided a tempestuous break in the plodding 55th day of civil rights debate. Nelson Hails Governor for 'Perseverance' WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.) hailed Gov.

John Reynolds Thursday for his determination and perseverance in bringing the reapportionment problem in Wisconsin to an end in which "compliance with the Constitution was achieved." Nelson was governor and Reyn-olJs attorney general of Wisconsin when the a ortionment squabble started some four years ago. Nelson said he regretted that the question had to be settled by the courts, but "every citizen of Wisconsin owes a debt of gratitude to our Supreme Court for having the courage and determination to restore fair representa tion to our Legislature." figure of 39.328 by about 11.3 per cent. The largest district is Walworth county with population, 32.5 per cent above the average, and the smallest district is Calumet county with people. 43.7 per cent below the average. The average Senate district deviates from the ideal population of 119.730 by only 6.6 per cent.

a a in Lodge Top Choice Today in Oregon (FROM PAGE news conference toward torpedoing the hopes of Goldwater's opponents of putting together an ef fective stop-Goldwater movement. Gen. Eisenhower said he will not try to dictate the choice of a nominee or to attempt to block any of the most prominently-mentioned candidates. He added, "I am going to support anyone the nominating convention selects." Those who want to stop Gold-water thus seemed unlikely to have the powerful public support of Gen. Eisenhower on which they had counted heavily.

Goldwater contends he will have about 600 votes toward the 655 needed for nomination, if he wins California's 86. Rockefeller's supporters said they think the governor will run a close second to Lodge, if he doesn't top the Oregon results. They believe such a showing would help consolidate anti-Gold-water sentiment behind Rockefeller in the California balloting. Weary from campaigning in Nebraska, where his candidate ran a strong second to Goldwater in that state's primary, former Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton was on hand to push the campaign for former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon.

Accepts All Points He acknowledged that there were parts of the court's plan which did not agree wilh his positions but said he accepted them "with good will." State Sen. Jerris E. Leonard 'R-Milwaukee who originated the last reannortionment bill passed by the Legislature, said that he felt the court's decision was a fair one. He noted particularly that the court had supported his contentions that Milwaukee county only be given 25 Assembly seats.

"I think the court has affirmed in principle what I have been preaching for almost two years," he said. Leonard said there were some features of the reapportionment wih which he ws un'iappy but that he saw nothing in it which supported Remolds. "I think lf a little ludicrous lhat the governor should even jokingly and he must have been joking assume that there Is one iota of vindication for htm in this decision." he Said. "It has brourM an end to four long, arduous, frustratine years of obstructionism by him. From that standpoint, it's god to have tt over." Leonard said that he could see no major political effect of the reapportionment but noted that it would require a detailed analysis of its provisions to determine the possible shifts in voting strength it had effected.

He added that he felt the Legislature still should act on reapportionment in some form, either to affirm the court's plan or to alter it to suit members of that body. Feels Work Accomplished Assembly Majority Leader Paul R. Alfonsi R-Minocqua said that he did not feel the plan left much to be done by the Legislature in reapportionment and he didn't foresee any actions to change it substantially by future Legislatures. "I fee! they 'the court have done a fair job in reducing pnpu'a'ion disparities," be said. "I note that they could not avoid havine to place some incumbents in the same districts, but this seems to apply fairly to both parties." Alfonsi said that he felt the court plan had Wowed the Legislature's intentions, as indicated in the bill vetoed by Reynolds very closely and as such was a rejection of the governors position.

Donnelly Accepts Dmnr'ly. the man most directly affected by the court's anions, said that he was willing to accept the court's action without "The total freapnortionment) picture is far more important than any one district even If It happens to be my district," he said.
