The Congress is undertaking a two-pronged attack to prevent the violence that could be triggered during a "long, hot summer" of 1967. Designed to amend the United States Criminal code, a bill to prohibit travel or the use of ayhy other facility in interstate Commerce with intent to incite $ riot or other violent civil disturbance has been introduced by Congressman William Cramer of Florida. ! The first part of the proposed bill is aimed at interstate activities of "black power" leader Stokely Carmichael, self- Rroclaimed "American" Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell, and all others whoemploy such means to cause violent disturbances. As pointed out by Congressman Cramer, a large percentage of these professional agitators use interstate facilities to promote violence Which local law enforcement officials are frequently illequipped to handle. The interstate character of the provocation makes this offense an appropriate subject for federal legislation. Under the new bill, such violations will carry penalties of five years in prison or a $10,000 fine, or both. Unanimously, the House Judiciary subcommittee (including this member) voted to recommend this bill to the House of Representatives for early action. The second part of this proposed amendment to the United States Criminal code is aimed at protecting law-abiding civil rights workers who are legitimately assisting Negro citizens (primarily in the South) with voter registration, employment application, public accommodations, enrollment in public schools and colleges, and other rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, as implemented by the Civil Rights Act of 1965. This second proposal will protect such individuals from intimidation, threats of physical harm and personal injury. Violators who use threats and other non-physical means will be subject to a penalty of one year in prison or a $1,000 fine, or both. Where bodily, harm occurs to any such civil rights worker, the penalty can be $10,000 or ten years in prison, or both; and, if death results, the prison term could be for life. The House Judiciary subcommittee has likewise recommended unanimously this part of the proposed legislation to the House of Representatives. Coming during a particularly sensitive and explosive period of race relations, this twopronged federal approach $eems most salutary. Responsible Negro leaders and others, who have devoted their energies to promoting a peaceful approach--among all citizens-- to equal civil rights, are convinced that violence, vandalism and disorder are serious obstacles to all efforts aimed at ameliorating race relations. Many programs have been initiated in our large cities with a view toward improving race relations. Thousands of dedicated individuals (many of them volunteers), working * at the local level, need the support of this legislative package to help them achieve the objectives of equal job opportunities, fair housing, desegregated schools and colleges, and equal access to public accommodations. Passage of this legislation, with its complement of federal support, the FBI, federal prosecutors and the federal courts, can help provide the atmosphere of stability and order necessary for real progress in improved race relations. It is hoped that enactment into law of this bill will help keep it "cool" in Cleveland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other large American cities, during McCLORY REPORTS From Washington, the long, hot summer of 1967. Beginning in July, 1969, purchasers of automobiles and many other items will be entitled to full disclosure of the interest costs and "carrying charges" on their credit purchases. This assurance is provided in the new Truth-in-Lending bill (S.5) which recently passed the United States Senate by a unanimous vote and is almost certain to receive overwhelming support in the,U.S. House of Representatives. The original proposal made some seven years ago by former United States Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois was modified considerably before receiving the full Senate approval. Earlier measures sought to regulate interest rates and to establish a uniform system for all credit purchases applicable throughout the fifty states. The modified version exempts so-called revolving charge accounts as well as all extensions of credit for one year or less. Also first mortgage home loans are excluded. Consequently, the principal impact will be on automobile loans, which are reported to total some $30 billion per year. The bill will permit the disclosure of interest in terms of dollars and cents per $100 instead of the annual percentage rate (frequently amounting to more than 36 percent). However, percentage rates will be required for all creditors beginning in January, 1972. The general postponement of the effective date of this legislation to July, 1969, is intended primarily to enable state Legislatures to change their outmoded usury laws and to enact their own state statutes to require information disclosures to those who make purchases on the installment plan. The Illinois General Assembly, under the leadership of State Senator Arthur Gottschalk, has already provided more meaningful mid stricter truth-in-lending laws than the new federal proposal will require. While former Senator Paul Douglas' espousal of this legislation was ostensibly for the benefit of those who purchase merchandise "on time," many large merchants have welcomed such requirements. Honest disclosure of interest and carrying charges are practices which they themselves have followed, while their less ethical competitors have resorted to deceptive practices adversely affecting the image of the entire industry of credit merchandising. There is no solid proof that those who extend credit to installment purchasers have actually been untruthful. Instead the fact appears to be that many installment purchasers have neither inquired into nor have concerned them selves with the excessively high interest rates and other carrying charges they have voluntarily assumed. The new law will undoubtedly encourage closer scrutiny by those who purchase' goods "on time." It is doubtful that financing Annual LITTLE LEAGUE DANCE Saturday - July 29 V.F.W.

Excellent Condition a new cair will be any cheaper or that the number of credit purchases will be reduced because of the new law. However, it is quite likely that many in the consumer credit business will themselves become better informed as to the total charges imposed and that those who buy merchandise on time will become aware of actual interest rates. Indeed, as a result of the new law, many persons may be encouraged to make more of their purchases "for cash." DAMAGE SUIT A damage suit in the amount of $190,000 was filed early this week in Circuit court on behalf of Diane Kasprzak as administratrix of the estate of her son, David C. Bares, and Diane Kasprzak individually. Defendants are Casimer Kasprzak and Roger Naylor, both of Wonder Lake. The suit arises from an auto accident on July 14, 1966, in which David Bares, as a passenger inthe car driven by Casimer Kasprzak, was killed. Naylor was driver of the second car in-, volved.

FESTIVAL REFLECTIONS "Dear Public: "In behalf of the Marine Festival committee of the Chamber of Commerce, I would like to extend a very warm 'Thank You' to everyone who gave a helping hand to make Marine Festival days of 1967 the most successful in the nine years we have been involved with this community promotion. "It is absolutely impossible to list names of people or organizations as we are not sure we would get everyone included and certainly don't want to miss anyone. So many things and people are so necessary to make this celebration well organized and successful one, that people viewing the many activities will never know. It takes a lot of money, approximately $9,000, to finance this project and without the many donations from the community the committee could do nothing. "Last but not least, I would like to thank the many, many thousands of people who attended the different activites during our week. McHenry can be proud of its citizens and their „ many guests and friends from other parts of the country, as we are happy to report there were no problems in McHenry during any of these activities. I would expecially like to commend the some 25,000 people who watched the parade^ I was fortunate enough to drive one of the cars carrying the six. wounded Marines who had just returned from Vietnam. Patriotism, it seems, doesn't really have to be talked about, it is shown; and it certainly was during that parade. The people of McHenry made a lasting and exclusive impression on these six young men. From, the point of the parade start to the very end and also when they were introduced at the Drum Corps show at night, there was never a person sitting and the applause for these six young veterans was pretty tremendous throughout the parade route. These young men have attended a number of similar parades in other communities this summer but the reception given them by the people of McHenry was far above that of any of the others. Their feeling was the standing applause given the six of them was only because they were representing a half million more servicemen in Vietnam. "Thanks again to everyone from our committee.

Alyce and John Shay, of Shay's Music World, 1220 N. Green street, McHenry, will play host to the annual event which received international publicity last year when the winner played the guitar for fifty-eight hours and four minutes without stopping. Stemming from an idea that both youths and adults have accepted the guitar as ofl£~Df the leading instruments of the decade, the Shays, decided to popularize the guitar even more so by offering over $1,000 in prizes and awards to winners of the marathon. And, as marathons go, winners will be determined by the length of the time they play...literally an endurance test, for sure. Mayor Donald P. Doherty will officially begin the ma-., rathon proceedings. Extra police will be assigned to handle traffic, which, because of the popularity of a marathon of this type, is expected to be heavier than usual. Last year's marathon drew thousands of spectators who came by all through the day.. and night from surrounding states which have also publicized the affair. Entries will be accepted until 5 p.m. Aug. 9. Free contest entry blanks are available at Shay's Music World in McHenry. There is no charge,.
