aimed at nail ing down a broad exemption written into the provision by the House Judiciary Committee The exemption removes most in dividually owned homes from the proposed ban on racial dis crimination Adoption ol the amendment which would leave large apart ments and newly built housing developments as the main types of housing to be covered is con sidered vital if the section is to stay in the bill An unlikely coalition of South erners and conservative Repub licans opposed to any housing provisions and Northern liber als who want a tougher one have lined up in opposition to the amendment The stratgy of the opponents of any measure Is to block all efforts to weaken it in hopes of frightening away support when a roll call vote comes on final pasage probably Thursday The House moved Into position to tackle the proposal with a spurt of action Tuesday that carried it most of the way through two other sections of the bill It rejected efforts to delete a provision banning discrimina tion in selecting state jurors The jury provision would per mit the attorney general to seek a court order setting aside a jury selection system when it is proven to be discrim inatory The House adopted an amendment by Rep William Cramer la that would re quire the attorney general to give the state court a reason able time to correct the situa tion before he eould file suit atal all rom

computers and aircraft engines Defense industries had unfilled orders totalling $246 billion in November By May they had jumped to $273 billion The shortages extend to trans portation of many kinds and to labor and credit rippling through the economy The final tally on defense ex penditures for tho year ended June 30 is expected to be over $55 billion $800 million more than predicted as recently as January This year it may top $60 billion The Viet Nam spending on top of the domestic boom has touch ed off inflationary pressures The most noticeable pinch comes from the ex panding manpower needs sub tracting men from the work force when they are needed in industry to meet the demands of increased military production Then the mills at home are pressed to clothe and feed them The problem is particularly acute in clothing and textiles In fiscal 1965 the Defense De partment spent $3172 million on clothing and textiles In the year ended June 30 it spent $1149 billion and the current year

been plagued by troubles and delays ever since bold headlines In the Press proclaimed a 1960 dedication Construction of the 70 mega watt Installation began In 1956 shortly after tho Ulbricht re gime established an office for atomic research and technology Pankow leaders hoped to earn the central Insttlute for European supplier of atomic en ergy and were predicting comple tion of plants with a capacity of 3000 megawatts by 1970 By 1960 the German Reds had 120 atomic scientists employed on projects to convert the goal into reality Headed by Dr Heinz Barwich (whose deputy was British convicted but early re leased atomic spy Klaus uchs) the zone central institute for Atomic Research In Dresden re corded several early successes Dr Barwich and his co workers even developed highly effective radioactive preparations for use in the medical Geld But Pankow was largely de pendent on the Soviet Union for parts in constructing the atomic power plant and more often than not the Russians hedged on prompt delivery This coupled with a shortage of funds in Pan Coffers forced the 1960 delay which proved embarrass ing in more ways than one Besides renegging on the head lines the German Reds had to look on as their capitalist broth ers in the ederal Republic copped first honors: Bonn com pleted its first atomic power plant in 1961 a few months after i the postponement was announ ced Next year Pankow boasted it would be the first to supply household and industrial needs with atomic power Meanwhile work on the plant was still lag ging behind In 196 1 it looked as though 1 the Reds were on the threshold of completing construction when 1 another setback occurred: Dr Barwich fled to the US via Switzerland Not even a top sal ary and the special privileges given to scientific experts who i cooperate with Pankow had i been able to hold the doctor or several months following the event nuclear research in the zone came to a halt as agents swarmed into atomic laborator ies Many scientists and other employees were dismissed and transferred to other jobs As a result the zone was un able to dedicate its first plant until this year And officials Pankow cannot be overly pleased With a capacity of only 70 mega watts which would have been fine ten years ago the plant to day can scarcely be classified as more than a small fry Living up to even the 1962 promise appears a long way off Red planners are now more cau tiously pointing to 1980 as the date for large supplies of atom ic power Motorcycle Accidents Up Sharply In May Jefferson City The High way Patrol
