Predict GOP Will Not Back Voting Revision
Washington—(U.P.) A leading House Republican predicted that a majority of his G.O.P. colleagues would not support the proposed constitutional amendment to revise the electoral voting system.
The Republican, who would not permit the use of his name, said many influential G.O.P. members are not sold on the idea because they fear they would lose concrete political advantages in the north for "some rather nebulous Southern gains. I sincerely doubt that a majority of house Republicans will vote for the proposal." he said.
But Rep. Ed Gossett, (D—Tex.), a co-sponsor of the amendment, stood by his forecast that the measure would receive the necessary two-thirds vote of the house. He hoped the rules committee would bring the amendment to the floor "within the next couple of weeks."
The senate approved the measure last week by a 64-27 margin, just three votes more than were needed. If the house also approves, the amendment must be ratified by 36 states. The proposal would junk the electoral college but keep the electoral voting system. Each state's electoral vote would be divided according to the popular vote. Under the present system a state's electoral vote goes to the winning candidate.
CORE Committee Will Meet Tonight
The C.O.R.E. committee which will negotiate with Lawrence restaurant owners to try to get them to eliminate racial discrimination in serving patrons will meet in the Y.M.C.A. office in the Union at 7:30 a.m. today.
As part of the plan to prove to restaurant owners that they would not lose business if they eliminated racial discrimination in the serving of patrons, the Committee on Racial Equality had 1,000 meal tickets printed. Approximately $700 worth of tickets were sold at $1 apiece and the money is to be turned over as a guarantee of patronage to some restaurant owner who agrees to try his experiment.
The committee will decide tonight which restaurant owner is to be invited to take part in the experiment.
Members of the committee include representatives of the Y.M.C.A.; M. David Riggs, secretary of the Y.M. MA.; Jane Schmidt, College junior and treasurer of C.O.R.E.; Russell Jarter, music teacher at Haskell institute and a member of the Lawrence League for the Practice of democracy; a representative of the American Federation of Teachers; and a representative of the Miniserial alliance. Phillip Dergance, attorney, will act as legal advisor for he group.

Editor Hails Marshall Aid
The Marshall plan has carried Western Europe through the roughest stages of a comeback John P. "Jack" Harris, president of the William Allen White foundation and editor and publisher of the Hutchinson News-Herald, told members of the University club Friday.
"By means of the Marshall plan we have bought time plus defense against political opponents," Mr. Harris said. "If these gains are to be held, we must keep spending."
"The stumbling block we now face," he said, "is that we want the foreign countries to lower their customers and even use a common currency."
Mr. Harris blamed the United States for the failure of many foreign countries to pay their debts. He said if we would purchase two billion dollars in goods each year from Europe, the problem would be solved.
"If we do not co-operate." Mr Harris said. "Europe may possibly go into a tailspin or else start buying in non-dollar areas."
in how not to adopt a fatalistic attitude, Mr. Harris said there will be another war, although one is not imminent now. He bases his reasoning on the fact that there have always been wars and there will logically be more.
"The fact that the Russians are allowing us to hold Berlin proves that they do not want war at the present," he said. "We have no chance of holding Berlin if the Russians really want in. The Russians could have stopped the airlift at any time merely by jamming the radio navigation beams."
Asked to suggest a possible cause for a future war, Mr. Harris replied the thing he feared most was "missionary communism." He also suggested that the United States prepared for another Hitler, and that if one should come along they would probably follow him.
If a World War II veteran has moved from one address to another in the same community, he should notify the postmaster—to assure prompt mail delivery.
