The fair employment bill he hopes to bring out will be patterned on one Powell introduced 17 years ago. he said, with the addition that jod discrimination because of age and sex would be barred along with racial discrimination.

Committee staff experts will meet next month with nf. ficials from several statM and cities where fair employ ment codes are in force to draft a bill, Powell said. December Enters With Mild Temps.

It also limits his control over the military establishment. The Civic Union declared it could not accept such conditions because the party stood for government by law.

It warned that the Dominicans now faced "absolute domination by military power," and urged them to end a general strike paralyzing the country. Balaguer's declaration was the latest effort to thwart opposition demands that he quit to make way for a provisional government to lead the control.

In his first nublir since roaring into space Wednesday at the head r.f Atlas rocket the 5 year old emmpanzee plainly acted like a fellow who's been around. Propped up on an examin. ation table in his orivatP snr.

It was the first non synthetic food he's had since being locked into the capsule at 4:41 a.m. Wednesday.

Ex cept for a reception commit tee of nurses and air coras men, the chimp's arrival at Bermuda was uneventful and he carried it off with customary aplomb, but the barge carrying his capsule in from the destroyer had a near tra gic mishap. It struck the pier with such force that a civilian deckhand, Claude Gibbons of Bermuda, was knocked overboard. A quick reversal of the engines saved him from being smashed between the barge and the pier. He wound up in the same hospital as Enos with severe bruises and possible fractured ribs.

Washington (fl The chair man of the House Education ana Labor Committee said Thursday he would not renew the fight for school aid legislation next year unless President Kennedy personally requests it. Rep. Adam C. Powell, N.Y., whose committee spent much of last session in a bitter losing fight for a school aid bill, announced his plans at a news conference. He said he plans to concentrate on college aid and fair employment practices legislation in the coming session.

Ruled Out? Powell's stand on a school bill would appear to rule out action next year on a bill by Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey, W.Va., which has gained wide support outside Congress. Bailey plans to Introduce in January a bill under which aid would be based on a state's actual expenditures for education rather than on its school age population. Powell conceded the full committee might force him to call up a school bill, but it is likely a majority of the members share the chairman's battle weariness.

No One Else 'We're not going to break our backs again or cause ulcers or heart strain in a los ing cause." Powell said. "Un Ipss the President no one else requests it, I have no plans for anything tne field of elementary education." The emphasis on higher education will be in the fields of science and technology.

However, Jerner saia nurs day he had since been consulted" by a Wichita Postal Region field service officer, Jerner said he had recom mended the interim designees, the field service officer had telephoned Wichita, and approval was secured on the results of the consultation. "I don't want to give the impression that I'm not running this office," Jerner said in further explanation of the "consultation" procedure related. Albrecht is presently general foreman of mails and Jacoby is foreman of mails.

No Set Timetable Carl E.

University Chancellor Dr. Clifford M.

Clarke and other Nebras kans argue that unreliable service and languid promotion by Frontier were responsible for the lack of use.

Points To Statements Robert M. Beckman, special counsel for Nebraska in the current proceedings, introduced statements made by the airline in 1958 when Frontier claimed Hastings was not adequately served through the Grand Island airport' Kearney through Grand Island or North Platte, Mc Cook through North Platte, or Sidney through Scottsbluff. The airline now seeks to return to that pattern. John C. Coe, director of economic controls for Frontier, explained that in 1958 the airlines estimated subsi dies at half the cost they have since proven to be.

Foreign Frank Aiken of Ireland said his proposal, which appears certain to be approved, is aimed at keeping "local wars and civil strife" from detonating nu clear war. He feels that the Middle East presents a particular danger of this. While Aiken's idea starts with a treaty signed first bv the nuclear powers and then Dy the small nations, the nen tralist resolution works from the opposite direction.

U.S. Ambassador Charles Yost told the committee that the plan might "prejudice existing defensive arrangements." Until militarv threats cease or worldwide disarmament becomes a reality, Yost sard, "the United States must continue to give its allies the military support which they request and they consider necessary for collective self defense including the right of self defense with nu clear weapons if need be." Atomic arms for West Ger many also came up in con nection with the neutralist proposal. Soviet delegate L.

Frontier won routes linking Omaha and Denver with surrounding states. Sub 58 Level The present position nf Frontier and the CAB's own counsel, if sustained by the board, would reduce air service in the state to a level under that of 1958, Clarke said.

Military chiefs stepped into the boiling picture with their plan in the midst of the most violent demonstrations against Balaguer since he was made figurehead president in the Trujillo dictatorship in 1960. Troops and police clashed with Dominicarrsr the third day of a general strike staged to force Balaguer and other Trujillo holdovers out of office. Fearing harsh reprisals, the Civic Union said: "In these circumstances and faced with absolute domination by military power, the Civic Union is recommending that the people suspend the strike." Mob Approaches Pala.ce Earlier in the day, as the nation awaited Balaguer'g answer to opposition demands, a screaming mob shouting an ti Balaguer slogans surged up to the gates of the national palace. One youth was killed by machinegun fire in the day's violence. Hours after Balaguer received the opposition proposal, the nation's military chiefs called on him at the palace with their plan.

At about the same time, U.S. Consul General John Calvin Hill and Arturo Mor ales Carrion, deoutv assist. ant secretary of state for Latin American affairs, also arrived at the palace. lhey were seen enterinsr hv members of the Civic Union and rumors spread thnt th United States was backing Balaguer.

Nelson Rockefeller, exhausted by a futile flying search for hu son in New Guinea, secluded himself Friday on his family's rambling Pocantico Hills estate in the suburbs north of here. The governor paid a touch ing tribute to his son as ha flew home from Amsterdam Wednesday night. "Ever since he was little he's been very aware of people, their feelings, their thoughts. He's a person who has always loved people and been loved by people. "Ho had a tremendous enthusiasm and drive, loved life, has always loved beauty in people, beauty in nature and beauty in art, whether it's painting or sculpture, and has been quite an artist himself." That love of life and peoplo led the son, 23 year old Michael Rockefeller, to Join an anthropological expedition to New Guinea earlier this year.

The United States and most of its North Atlantic allies voted against the move for fear it might affect NATO's nuclear defenses against Soviet attack. The resolution, spearheaded by Sweden with Soviet and neutralist backing, was passed by a vote of 57 12, with 32 abstentions. This assures ratification bv the Gen eral Assembly later. Backed Irish Instead of the neutralist proposal, the United States threw its support behind an Irish resolution that would have the nuclear Dowers draw up a treaty with inspec tion provisions to block the spread of nuclear secrets or weapons beyond Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union, current members of "the nuclear club."
