Civil Rights May Be Law This Week Completion Is Predicted Soon WASHINGTON (UP)—The civil rights bill started moving through the legislative machinery of Congress again today. This time it appeared certain to win approval and presidential signature before the week is out. Rep. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) cast the Republican vote that has been needed for a week to override the southern chairman of the House Rules Committee and call the committee into session. It was scheduled to meet today and clear the compromise rights bill—already approved by the leadership of both parties—to the House floor for a vote. After House passage, the bfll will go back to the Senate for approval of its revised jury trial provision. Chairman Howard W. Smith (DVa.) had blocked action by his committee on the bill since it came back in heavily amended form from the Senate two weeks ago. Southerners mapped a verbal attack when it reaches the Senate. But there was fio hint of a filibuster which would prevent final passage by late this week or early next. August Is As Romantic As June, Records Show August is as romantic a month as June in Adams county apparently. County Clerk Richard Lewton reports that he issued a total of seven marriage licenses Saturday. This is the highest number he has issued on any single day since he took office.

Miss Keenan, expressing surprise that the charge was burglary, said: “I just want him to stay away from me. He didn’t I take anything.”

SCOUTS (CentinuW fax* <>■«■) then visited, and the scouts enjoypd a lecture on the human body's reaction to high altitudes. The scouts were 4 allowed to inspect the: chamber and its equipment. At the air force museum the Decatur youths saw one of the first airplanes to circle the earth, the “New Orleans.” They also saw many other interesting and unusual airships, including a parasite plane, released in midair by the huge bombers. At the fire school the boys heard a lecture on fire fighting, and the use of the various types of firefighting equipment, and saw demonstrations of extinguishersf used for gas, oil, electrical, and chemical fires. Each boy got a chance to try out the different types of equipment. Each afternoon the boys enjoyed either a 45 minute swim in the 'huge air force pool, or worked out in the gym. The first night they saw the movie, "Jet Pilot” at one of the base theaters. Tuesday morning the group moved to the survival school, and saw the latest survival equipment explained. They saw escape equipment, harnesses, uniforms, and new jet pilot helmets, sun glasses, and harnesses, that will soon be standard equipment, but which have not yet been issued. A fully-equipped airman put on a harness, and was shot into a pool, where he showed the technique of releasing himself under water, inflating the equipment, and escaping from a sinking plane. In the parachute test area, the young men saw parachutes packed, how the chutes are cared for, and how explosive charges are placed in the rigging for ejection. The charge releases the pilot (from the ejection seat, and opens the belt harness. A film on the air force in the Aleutian islands was seen next, In the orientation section, which sends airplanes on display trucks all over the nation, a tour of exhibits in preparation was made. A color film of jet air aces who demonstrate their skill all over the world was shown next. A buffet style picnic at the base park area entertained the Decatur young men that evening. Afterwards they saw films on the olylmpic games and sporting events. On Wednesday of last week another survival film starring Van Hefflin showed the group how to survive in the jungle. The group then visited the instrument training school, where they found out the requirements for yearly instrument training which all jet

.pilots must take. Various mocktype planes are used there for training with instruments. Each boy was given a few minutes practice in a Link trainer, one of the typical devices used in the instrument section. This plane, which never leaves the ground, has all the instruments found in a rem airplane, and must be guided so as to keep all dials and levels in their correct flight positions. A tour of the flight-line, which is a highly secret area, was then made. Restrictions prohibited anj; photographs in this area, but the boys visited many experimental aircraft, including the Voodoo 102-A, and they saw all the new type experimental instruments which were being installed. Next, a demonstration on air force clothing was given by the chief designer. A briefing was given on the selection of materials for clothing, and the tests necessary to establish a standard. In the afternoon they first saw the 56th fighter squadron, and saw a film on fighter squadrons describing their mission, and their alert procedure.

Two fighter pilots, on standby duty, showed the boys around the alert strip, in combat readiness, planes fully armed, and each boy climbed into the cockpit while the pilot explained the instruments, and the ready procedure. This is the first line of air defense in the United States, and these planes are kept ready on a 24 hour basis for any enemy attacks. The bigest event for the boys was the dance the final night of the encampment. From the Dayton area 120 girl scouts were brought to the air base in their party dresses, and each scout was given a corsage for his date. The 661st air force band provided music, and during the orchestra intermission two guests called The dance was held in the airsquare dances and folk dancing, men’s/ service club, which was appropriately decorated for the event. Refreshments were served from a buffet table, and the dance was supervised by the adult leaders of both the boy and girl scouts.
