Civil Rights Program Abused By Rockefeller
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.-(UPI)—Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller last night called John F. Kennedy a "dothing" President who has cynically exploited American minorities by his election campaign promises.
Rockefeller told about 500 persons at a Republican dinner here that Kennedy's civil rights record was a string of "broken promises."
Rockefeller, a leader of the GOP Liberal wing who has been considered a major contender for the Party's 1964 presidential nomination, said Kennedy has done "practically nothing" to enact his campaign pledges.
"NOT ONE PLEDGE of new civil rights legislation has been passed under this Democratic administration," Rockefeller said.
Yet, Rockefeller said, "the Democratic President and his Democratic congress could — and can — pass any piece of legislation they want to."
Rockefeller said the Kennedy administration, by failing to keep its civil rights pledges, has left millions of persons "high and dry on the beaches of frustration."
"THEY MUST SEE — and we must help them see — not on the basis of words, but on the irrefutable basis of performance — that the party of Lincoln, which was their party then, remains their party now," he said.
Rockefeller said Kennedy could not erase his "do-nothing" record by appointing "a distinguished Negro" to a cabinet post. This was a reference to Kennedy's announcement that he will appoint Robert C. Weaver as head of his proposed cabinet department of Urban Affairs if the department is not vetoed by Congress.
Rockefeller quoted Kennedy as saying during the 1960 campaign that discrimination in activities connected with the federal government could be ended "by a stroke of the presidential pen."
"AS PRESIDENT, HOWEVER Mr. Kennedy has never been able to find the pen," Rockefeller said.
Rockefeller said he welcomed the administration's steps to end discrimination on interstate buses and in waiting rooms. But he said, "these actions are nowhere near enough."

HOW YOU CAN
A NUCLEAR WAR!
9 out of 10 people can live through a nuclear attack, says scientist Edward Teller. But there'll have to be plenty of warning — and plenty of shelter. In this week's Post, he maps out a 4-point plan for survival. Tells how you should stock the ideal shelter. And which people stand the best chance of survival.

Students Rally Against Tests
WASHINGTON — (UPI)—Hundreds of college students swarmed into Washington today for a massive demonstration at the White House and on Capitol Hill against atmospheric nuclear testing by the United States or Russia.
Organized under the label "Turn Toward Peace," the students streamed in throughout the night and this morning by bus, train plane and automobile, armed with placards and literature. They called for concrete steps toward disarmament.
They began picketing in front of the White House about 9:30 a.m., with about 200 participants. The picket ranks steadily grew as the young men and women—many of the men sporting beards and girls in leotards—received assignments at temporary headquarters set up in a church basement.
Sponsors said there would be more than 3,000 pickets by tomorrow. They said it would be the most massive White House picking in 20 years.
The Soviet embassy also was picketed by youths carrying signs saying such things as "Every Test Kills" "We Condemn Both Soviet and U.S. Testing," and "Join Us In Free Discussions of Cold War Issues."
The demonstrations will be claimaxed with a rally tomorrow afternoon. One of the speakers will be socialist leader Norman Thomas, a sponsor of the group.
In addition to picketing the White House and the Soviet Embassy, leaders said, the students would see at least 300 congressmen or their assistants, and 36 senators.
They also arranged appointments at a number of embassies, including the Soviet Union, and with state and defense department officials. They also arranged for a delegation to see Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Glenn T. Seaborg.
Many of the students, red-eyed after all-night bus rides from as far as Boston and Minneapolis, carried sleeping bags on their backs as they arrived for the two day demonstration. Leaders said a couple of churches agreed to let demonstrators bed down tonight, but there was a problem trying to find a place for everybody.

Kennedys Leave Bali for Bandung
DEN PASSAR, Indonesia — (UPI)
- Attty, Gen. and Mrs. Robert Kennedy headed for the West Javanese mountain city of Bandung today following an overnight stay on the island of Bali.
LAWRENCE ICE CO.
6th & Vt., VI 3-0350
Bandung is the Kennedys' third stop on a tour of the Indonesian provinces that took them to Jogiakarta, the rebel capital during the uprising against the Dutch, on Wednesday and Bali yesterday.
Kennedy has conferred with President Sukarno and Foreign Minister Subandrio during his stay in Indonesia, creating speculation that he is trying to mediate the dispute over Dutch New Guinea.
When Subandrio was asked in Jakarta last night about possible mediation efforts, he would say only that "Kennedy is here as a guest of Attorney General Gunawan."
Applications for K Book- Date Book and Student Directory editors and business managers are due Feb. 25. Tu Jarvis, chairman of the ASC publications committee, said today.
Asked about Kennedy's meeting with him and Sukarno in Jogjakarta Wednesday, Subandrio said, "We discussed the weather." He smiled but did not reply when asked whether he meant the weather in West Irian (Indonesian name for Dutch New Guinea).
ASC Application Due
Jarvis said applications may be turned in to him or to James Gunn, administrative assistant to the chancellor. 232 Strong Hall.
People-to-People Plans 'Happy Hour'
People-to-People, in conjunction with Pi Beta Phi sorority, will host the first open house "happy hour" for foreign students today from 3 to 5 p.m. The Latin American band will perform and Leslie Nesmith, Lawrence senior, will play the guitar and sing folk ballads at the Pi Beta Phi house.
The purpose of the "happy hour" is to give American and foreign students a chance to meet, and to provide an opportunity for foreign students to be with American students during their informal hours.
Bruce Whisler, Topeka junior and P-T-P forum committee chairman, said other "happy hours" will be held at various times during the semester in organized houses and the scholarship halls.
After the showing of an Italian language film, "General Della Rovere" in Hoch Auditorium, the International Club will meet in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. An American student will play the bagpipes, and a Scottish student and two American students will perform Scottish dances.
