A recommendation from the President/
Equal Opportunity in Homing, headed by David I. Law
came only a few dayi after the Preiident had rejected a
ttee on
Lawrenoe,
aome-
Solon —
what almiliir recommendation by bin
Ohffl Right* coromiMlon to withhold
federal assistance from Mlsaiseippl.
The housing group proposed that
Kennedy ban tbe location of new mil-
itary bases, apace Installations and
other government facilitiea in areaa
where there ia discrimination in hous-
ing.
The proposal la intended to put new
pressure on local forernmenta and
businessmen to end housing discrim-
ination.
He anld bla committee wns work-
ing on a Presidential directive that
would order all government agenciea
to consider the availability of housing
to members of minority groupa In
deciding where to put new govern-
ment facilitiea or expand existing
ones.
If the President were to accept this
recommendation, it would achieve in
Mississippi what hnd been proposed
by the civil rights commission. How-
ever, Lawrence's proposal would be
equally applicable to northern com
munities guilty of housing bias.
Lawrence, former governor of
Pennsylvania, did not Indicate wheth-
er his group hsd discussed its plan
with President Kennedy, hut officials
of the government's housing agenciea
said that it had. They said Kennedy
hnd approved Lawrence's puhli" men-
tion of the proposal at this time.
The proposed directive was the
only new step tounnl enforcement of
the President's adntini*trntinn friar
of lost November that wns announced
ss a group of high-ranking officials
addressed a meeting of the National
Committee against Discrimination in
Housing.
Housing Administrator Robert C.
Weaver, Deputy Attorney General
Nicholas deB. Katzenhach and Joseph
C. McMurrsv. chairman of the Feder-
al Home Ix>nn Hank board, all indicat-
ed a belief that the government must
move slowly and carefully within
the framework of the order, as it
now exists, before trying to expand
its coverage.
The order has two main aections.
The first permits the government to
deny future financial assistance to
builders who practice discrimination,
or actually to revoke commitmMtft
made following Issuance of the order?

Hawks, 4-3
HOLOTE&—The Helotea Hawks
rallied for three runa in the last of
the ninth Inning to overcome a 3-1
deficit and pin the second stmight
final inning defeat on the Kerrville
All Rtars, in a game at Herman Hons
park, here. Sunday. April 2H. Final
score waa 4-3, Helotes.
The game had been a brilliant
pitchers' duel from the second through
the eighth inning, between A. C.
(lluhhcr) Warren of the All Htars
and Jlill Draker of the Hawks, and
was deadlocked at l-all throughout
that time. The Hawks had scored
a run in the first iuning, and the
All Htara one in the second.
In the top half of the ninth, the
All Stars had rallied for two runs
to take a .'M lead, and the way
Warren had been sailing along the
All Stars had visions of their first
victory of the season.
Itut Warren weakened in the ninth
and gave up three hits, a base on
balls, and hit a batter. The key blow
in the inning was a double by Man-
ager Martin Matter of tbe Hawks
that drove across the winning runs
with one man away.
The All Stars made seven hits and
erred once. The Hawks had aix hits
and made two errors.

Mra* Xdmer*ion, in referring to the
history-making participation in the
proceaaior declared:
"Thla is • proud and thrilling mo-
ment for Alpha Kappa Alpha, and a

St. Philip's
The St. Philip'a college float, en-
titled "Melodiea of the Seasons," was
two aectional, with the basic colora
made <»f two ahadea of green. The
four seasons were represented by four
coeds seated in atrategic positions.
Miss Annla Harris, a sophomore
from Austin, led the group on the
float, sested smong myriads of cherry
blossoms. A golden lyre stood in front
of her. She wore a pale green gown
that flowed out and blended ita color
with tha vibrant green of aprinff*
Her dress waa designed and made by
Miss Mattia Montgomery.
Mlaa Norma Harris represented
tha summer aeason. Its gaiety was
portrayed by the uso of a brilliant
sun shining brightly round Miss Har-
ris, who was dressed In a blue and
white play ault, with a wide white
summer hat to match. Tbe hst was a
creation of Mra. Alice Blevins.
Miss Joyce Taylor represented
autumn with all of ita harvests of
beauty.
Mifis Taylor's gown of burnt orange
blended with the rich colora of an
autumn gone wild with bounteous
beauty.
At tbe feet of Miss Taylor was a
golden horn of plenty spilling out
doxens of American beauty roses.
Miss Taylor's position was accented
by a large wreath of autumn leavea
all in riotoua colors of fall.
Miss Taylor is the reigning Miss

more from Weimar. Her dresa was
designed by Mrs. Ceola Wilson's tail-
oring class.
High above the crowds, at the rear
of the float, sat Miss Dorothy Brown

ing gaiety of winter In a dashing
sleigh suit of royal blue trimmed with
white fur. ner shoes were also of
royal blue trimmed with white fur
that matched the suit. The costume
was designed and made by the dress-
making class under the supervision of
Mrs. Calvin Gentry.
Mlsa Brown sat on a brilliant blue
sleigh trimmed In gold and floating
lightly on a field at white anow. The
sleigh was pulled by a life-sis* white
reindeer. Tbe reindeer spsrkled with
silver snowflakea. To the right and
left of the sleigh were two huge
brown and green banjos complement-
ing the basic green of the float. The
entire float waa topped by a huge
wreath of iclclea and bright red poin-
aettiaa.
The float guards wera Eddie Alley,
a freshman from Columbus; Churl*a
Taylor, aopbomore of fjoriales; Wil-

not have much "lererage* In cases
where builders had already obtained
financing commitments before Issii'
ance of the President's order.
He noted that of five cases of this
sort, where the government had at-
tempted to use Its "good offices" to
persuade- a builder to aell a house to
Negro purchaser, only one had
been successful.
In that case, he said, the govern-
ment had some "second hand lever-

U. 8. District Court Judge E. Gor-

Screen denied Mackey'a story and

He said that Mackey's statements
at the original trial had been "his

remanded the death date and ordered
