Celler (D-NY) handling it during six days of house debate. The defeat, Friday, 199-167, of the attempt by house southerners to write into the measure a larger role for local juries left no doubt that the house will pass the bill Monday without substantial changes.

The house has agreed to close debate not later than 6 P. M. CLOUDED FUTURE The bill has a clouded future in the senate, which filibustering southerners in the past have made a graveyard for such legislation. Its prospects brightened somewhat Saturday with news that Vice President Nixon, president of the senate, and Republican Leader Knowland of California were teaming up in an attempt to rush the bill onto the senate calendar without the usual preliminary of routing it to the judiciary committee. Such procedure, if successful, would get the bill past one pitfall, but would not eliminate an even speaker; and Mayor Robert Anthony of Altoona.

While southerners continue their battle in congress against President Eisenhower's civil rights bill, Negroes in Louisiana and Texas are planting new seeds in the fields of integration. BEGINNING Five Negro ministers rode In the white section of a public bus in Shreveport, Saturday.

They called it the "beginning of integration" and that segregated city of the deep south. There were no arrests and no acts of violence. But Police Chief Harvey L. Teasley warned that arrests will be made in the future if Negroes refuse to take seats in the rear, as is customary under the pattern of segregation. All was quiet Saturday in Shreveport, Louisiana's second-largest city.

No further integration attempts were reported. All five of the ministers who defied the state's segregated seating law mentioned the incident in their Sunday sermons, but did not make it a major theme. The incident was not mentioned from the pulpit of any white church.

Oar' Mrs. Mary Emrelman Shots Inoculation of pre-school age children with Salk vaccine in clinic or other mass programs as urged by the Blair County chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysic has been vetoed by the local Medical society. The Blair County Medical society has informed the polio chapter that "it will continue the Salk vaccine program in physicians' offices where children of needy parents who have not been inoculated in previous public programs can be given their free shots. This program will be county wide." CLINICS The polio chapter had wanted clinics similar to those last summer in which thousands of children under 20 received the state-purchased Salk vaccine.

The Medical society has said it will release a statement concerning the program within a few days. Expressing appreciation of the cooperation by the Medical society in the earlier mass campaigns for children, the polio unit wrote the society that it had understood a pre-school clinic for children who otherwise could not receive the shots had been approved by the doctors' group. The NFIP made public announcement of this plan. The Medical society responded that Salk vaccine should be provided pre-school children as other immunizations, such as tetanus, diphtheria, smallpox, by "private treatment in a physicians office or by a physician in charge of a well baby clinic." TOO MUCH PRIDE The polio group stressed that many parents can ill afford a fee for the vaccine and that many existing on minimum wages who are not eligible for free vaccine such as those on- D. P.

"have too much pride to ask their doctors for free services." The unit suggested either a coupon plan through which doctors could learn the number of children requiring the vaccine and arrange clinics' in their offices or clinics set up by the polio group in which state-purchased vaccine could be used. County Gets Roads Funds From State HARRISBURG (Special) Payment of $107,588.70 has been made to Blair county by the state department of revenue as the county's share of a $7.3 million refund to counties throughout the state from liquid fuels tax collections during the first half of 1957. The department said the money must be spent by the county commissioners within the corporate limits of the county, for construction, improvement and maintenance of county rpads and bridges. The funds are allocated to townships, borough and cities within the county at the discretion of the commissioners not the department of revenue. In January the county received $114,672.43 in liquid fuels tax refunds covering the last six months of 1956.

As a point of comparison with the $107,588.70 six-month payment that has just been made, Blair county for the comparable first half period of 1956 received $99,619.26. The department noted that if bonds have been issued for the construction of county roads in Blair county the refund may be used for retirement of the bonds or in the payment of interest on the bonds. This is usually the top priority use with' remaining funds scheduled for county-operated roads and local political subdivisions within the county.

A. E. O'Donnell, Grand Knight TOO The Altoona Elgin Builder Way 1722 Eleventh Avenue CALL COllECT NO JOB TOO LARGE OH SMALL By JACK BELL WASHINGTON UP) Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash) proposed Sunday that American air carriers be permitted to fly passengers and mail to Communist China. He suggested this as a possible preliminary step toward relaxing trade barriers.

Magnuson said the senate commerce committee he heads intends to explore this question with Secretary of State Dulles, as well as the possibility of admission of Amer-, ican newsmen to China. The committee will begin a broad-scale investigation next Thursday of American trade policies with all sections of the world. Magnuson indicated it will focus first on Asia and the present embargo against any U. S. trade with the Peiping regime.

ECONOMIC CURTAIN "I know the administration's policy is against such trade," Magnuson said. "But we have got to be realistic The rest of the world is going to trade with China. We can't keep 400 million people behind an economic bamboo curtain forever just because we don't like their government-" Magnuson said both Northwest Airlines and Pan American Airways have certificates permitting them to fly to China. But he said they cannot be used under present U. S.

restrictions against travel to that country. "We certainly would not be building up China's war po- lines to fly passengers and mail there," Magnuson said. "We ought to loosen up some of tiie restrictions so Americans could travel there. "We also ought to consider the possibility of an exchange by which American newsmen could be stationed in China on a regular basis." DULLES WILLING Dulles has said that he would be willing to approve a one-shot visit of U. S.

newsmen to China. But he has said that any permanent stationing of American reporters there would be difficult to arrange because the United States does not recognize the Peiping regime. Senate Republican Leader Knowland of California said in a separate interview he doubts any information brought out by Magnuson's committee will change the administration's stand against trading with the Chinese Communists. RELAX BARRIERS Dulles noted tfat only Britain and Norway thus far have formally declared their intention of shipping to China the same kind of goods they sell to Russia. Previously free world countries had kept much tighter embargo on 1 China.

Since Dulles spoke, the Benelux countries Belgium, tiie Netherlands, Luxembourg have announced they too would relax trade restrictions with Red China.
