Segregation Fight Behind School Bill Scores Amendment From Rep. Powell WASHINGTON (UP) — Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey (D-WVa) Laid today Rep. Adam Clayton Powell’s anti-segregation amendment would "punish” all the nation's children—white and negro —ls it kills the school bill. Bailey is a leading backhr of the 61,600,000,000 school construction measure, which was before the house for a second day of de bate. Powell, a Negro Democrat from New York’s Harlem, said the fate of his amendment to lar the building funds from states maintaining racially segregated schools was squarely up t< the Democratic members ,*t the house. "More than a majority of the Republicans are for my amendment,” he told a reporter. “If if is defeated, it will be by Democrats. If the Democrat v defeat it, the Democratic par V till become the American anti ■ civil rights party." Bailey’s and Powell’s statements underscored the seething segregation fight behind the school bill. Many southern congressmen contend funds would be withheld from segregated school systems by administrative action even if Powell’s amendment is beaten. Bailey branded Powell's amendment as “punitive legislation” aimed at southern states that have not complied with the Supreme Court’s anti-segregation decLion. He said it had no place in the school bill. "If hi) amendment kills thd bill, i s rill be punishing not only the white children of the nation but all the Negro childrep as well,” Bailey said. Voting on amendments likely will come Monday and Tuesday. A final vc e is expected Thursday After the Independence Day recess. Oil production in the United States has increased an average of almost five per cent a year for the past 20 years.
