Sen. Morse Offers
School Compromise
By JOHN A. GOLDSMITH
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sup
porters of the Senate’s <14.2 bil
lion school aid bill were of
fering conservatives an olive
branch today, but with no as
surance Southern critics of
school desegregation guidelines
would make peace.
Sen. Wayne Morse, D • Ore.,
was readying an amendment
that would ease the impact, but

not the intent, of the govern
ment’s school desegregation
guidlines.
There was no immediate in
dication the compromise would
mollify the Southerners and get
the thlee - year aid authoriza
tion for primary and Secondary
schools moving again. It covers
the three - year period start
ing next July 1.
Morse promised the amend-
ment Wednesday after South
erners began endorsing a pro
posal by Sen. Richard B. Rus
sell, D - Ga., to forbid any cut
off of school assistance under
the guidelines once a school dis
trict has started its academic
year.
Morse, floor manager for the
bill, said he opposed procedures
by which school districts could
avoid compliance with the
guidelines by "dragging their
feet.”
He said his proposal would
be keyed to a date, perhaps
Aug. 1, by which the U.S. Of
fice of Education would have
to cut off aid or waft until the
end of the school year.
Morse said he thought his pro
posal, or Russell’s, would ac
tually work against school dis
tricts which might not be in
compliance because they would
make federal officials take fi
nal action more swiftly. But he
said Southern sentiment seems
to favor some such arrange
ment.
Earlier the Senate rejected
54-27 a move by Sen. Frank
Lausche, D - Ohio, to cut the
$14.2 billion authorization total
by $2.4 billion.
The House has already ap
proved a school aid bill, but it
is for one year only and totals
$3.5 billion. Any measure ap
proved by the Senate would
have to be reconciled with the
House bill.
Senate leaders hoped to get
a final vote by Friday night,
but after the Lausche amend
ment was defeated, Sen. John
Stennis, D - Miss., began what
could develop into a Dixie fili
buster against the guidelines.
He said the guidelines only
apply to Southern states and
that local officials are never
told what desegregation steps
they must take to avoid losing
federal aid.
Meat Inspect
Law Ready For
LBJ Signature
By MARGUERITE DAVIS
WASHINGTON (UPI) — For
the first time in 60 years,
Congress has moved to streng
then the law protecting Ameri
cans from the meat of "4-D"
animals—dead, dying, diseased
or disabled.
Final action on the meat
inspection measure, now before
President Johnson for his
signature, came Wednesday
when the Senate accepted a
compromise worked out by
House-Senate conferees. Ear
lier, the House had approved
the bill 336 to 28 on a roll call
vote.
Rep. Graham Purcell, D-Tex.,
termed the bill "truly a victory
for the American people—the
consumer, the processor, the
producer.”
The bill authorizes matching
federal grants to help the states
bring their inspection of intra
state meat plants up to federal
standards imposed on plants
which ship from state to state.
The Agriculture Department
could take jurisdiction if a state
had failed to start its program
within two years, or allow a
third year if progress had been
started.
The department could move
at once against any plant known
to produce adulterated meat if
the home state ignored warn
ings from Washington.
The bill also requires import
ed products to meet the same
standards required of domestic
meats.
Rep. Neal Smith, D-lowa, who
has been plugging away for
enactment of such a law since
191, applauded the bill as a
victory for consumers and for
farmers who "have lost billions
of pounds of market by
consumers paying for foreign
material when they thought
they were buying good meat.
“It is a great victory over the
most skillful lobby that has ever
worked in Washington, that
even had the help of some state
secretaries of agriculture, who
jumped every time the meat
lobby said to,” Smith said.
Radar Unit In
Florida Eyes
Orbital Bombs
By AL ROSSITER JR.
UPI Space Writer
ELGIN AFB, Fla. (UPl)—The
Air Force believes its new 5,000
eyes radar space watcher may
be the answer to the orbital
bombardment system being
developed by Soviet Russia.
The $62 million unit, located
in an isolated part of the
Florida panhandle, was unveiled
Wednesday.
Called a phased array radar
but referred to by the Air Force
as simply FPS-85, the system is
expected to double the United
States’ satellite detection capa
bility. It also will watch the
country’s southern approaches
for ballistic missiles launched
from submarines.
“It is a highly significant step
toward better space defense,”
said Col. Jack Gabus, director
of the defense systems testing
for the Air Force.
The FPS-85 was designed long
before Russia announced that it
was developing an orbital
bombardment system, but it is
expected to be able to detect
orbital bombs approaching the
United States from the south.
The new radar, expected to
be operational early next year,
employes an array of beams
from 5,184 small transmitters
housed in a building with a
white, slanted surface larger
than a football field.
It can detect, track and help
Identify several hundred objects
simultaneously while maintain
ing surveillance for unknown
objects in space. A high speed
computer feeds its findings into
the North American Air De
fense Command headquaxters
at Colorado Springs, Colo.
The Air Force said the
system’s specific capabilities
were secret, but Gabus said it
has a range of several thousand
miles, can cover a 120 degree
arc toward the south and can
determine the path of satellites
or missiles in one or two
minutes.
“Essentially what this does is
that it equals the capability of
the rest of the system (space
watching) by itself,” Gabus
said.
