Wants Memorial For Sir Winston LONDON UPI Earl Alexander of Tunis has launched a world-wide appeal for funds to finance traveling fellowships for men and women from the British Commonwealth and the United States as a memorial to Sir Winston Churchill. “What we ask today is that the men, women and children of these countries, which he served and honored throughout his life, should make the Winston Churchill trust his living and unending memorial,’’ the war-time commander told a news conference. In Britain a house-to house collection will be made throughout the country during Churchill month beginning Feb. 28 and ending March 28, Alexander said. Similar appeals for money to establish fellowships will be launched in Canada, Australia. New Zealand and the United States. Prime Minister Keith Holyoake of New Zealand said his government would contribute $140,000 to the fund. Alexander was asked if Churchill ever had been told of the project for the memorial fellowships. He replied, “Yes, some years ago—and he was very pleased with the Idea.**

The President Asks “freeze” on some jobs

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer xctASHINGTON—Despite two sizeable pay increases for govW emment workers in the last few years, President Johnson is determined to hold overall payroll costs down. To accomplish this, he’s passed the word to department and agency heads to cut back on promotions that are estimated to be costing the government about $1 billion

a yew.

In many cases, Johnson has insisted on a “freeze" in the number of higher grade jobs each agency may have. He’s also insisting that new employes be brought into government at the lowest possible salary grade in order to preserve the average salary of each agency. Civil Service statistics show that higher grade job numbers have been increasing in recent years, along with much higher pay for each of these grades. The problem is that many of these jobs are in such areas as research and development, where the requirement is for engineers, scientists and techni-

cians.

Some government administrators are concerned that the "freeze” will have the effect of discouraging individuals in these professions from taking or staying in the government jobs, and that long-range, there will be a decline in federal abilities in these areas.

• PARTY TIME IN D.C.—On the subject of the social aspects of political life in Washington, there has been a virtually endless round of parties, receptions, small dinners, etc., on Capitol Hill ever since the new Congress convened. These affairs are not new, but they seem to have proliferated markedly. The reason given for them is to permit new members to meet their colleagues, but actually they’ve taken on the air of a marathon victory celebration. Of course, there’s not much for Congress to do at this early stage. It has to await the series of messages from the President before getting down to work. But even so, some older hands are concerned about the impression new members are getting of the makeup of Congress. No one seems willing at this stage to do anything about it. But if partying continues to grow as a way of life on Capitol Hill, you can expect some pointed hints from the leadership.

• ANOTHER KIND OF BACKLASH—Some members of Congress are showing increased concern over a new form of “backlash”—the effect that may come should this session enact major

portions of President Johnson’s legislative program.

These members, Democrats, are concerned with the prospects

for re-election two years hence. Their basic fear is that their colleagues will interpret the election results too strongly as a mandate for Johnson to go ahead full steam with his plans for “The

Great Society.”

Should this occur, with heavy partisan votes In favor of Johnson’s long list of costly programs, they believe that many marginal pro-Johnson voters in 1964 who voted that way primarily because they couldn’t swallow Goldwater’s particular brand of Republicanism, will swing back to GOP can-

didates.

Some are betting that the GOP will score sensational gains in the House and Senate in 1966.

Mass Arrest Of Negroes Monday By United Press International Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and 767 of his followers were arrested Monday in Selma, Alain the biggest mass arrest of civil rights demonstratiors since the Birmingham campaign of 1963. The arrests came in a mass march on the Dallas County Courthouse, target of demon- [ strations running into the third week, in a move to register Negroes to vote. A total of 474 of those arrested Monday were children. Police later turned them loose

after ordering them to appear with their parents before a juvenile judge. King and the others were charged with parading without a permit. King and a companion, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, declined to post $200 bonds and

were taken to jail, carrying a sack of peanuts and cookies. Civil rights leaders confirmed that the arrest of King was part of a master plan. It anticipated his arrest and spelled out procedures for a long civil rights drive.
