The court's decision applies only to the one section of the omnibus civil rights act, which Congress enacted after breaking the longest filibuster of all time.

This section forbids discrimination for reasons of race or color in hotels, motels, res taurants, theaters, and other public places open to the public. Urges Acceptance In a statement released at the White House, President Johnson said the act was proposed by two Presidents John F. Kennedy and himself and overwhelmingly adopted by Congress.

LeRoy Collins, director of the ORDER 3 RUSS ATTACHES TO LEAVE U. S. Held Retaliation for Red Action BY PHILIP DODD Chicago Tribune Press Service! Washington, Dec 14 Three Russian military attaches were ordered to leave the United States today. The action appar ently was in retaliation for re strictions imposed on three American attaches in Russia.

The American order was di rected at Gen. Maj. Vasiliy V. Zadvinski, army attache; Col. Vladimir P.

Grechanin, as sistant army attache; and Col. Aleksander V. Udalov, assistant air attache. The three were declared by the United States to be persona non grata, meaning in diplo matic language that they personally were not welcome in the United States. Complaint of Conduct Robert J.

McCloskey, state department spokesman, the Russian government had been told that the conduct of three officers exceeded the bounds of normal diplomatic activity." McCloskey would not enlarge on the statement. Asked if the attaches' ouster was in retaliation for the restrictions placed on three American military at taches in late September, the spokesman suggested that re porters could "draw your own conclusions." The three Americans were in Khabarovsk, Siberia, on a tour with a British colleague when Russian agents raided their hotel rooms and accused them of espionage. Forbidden to Travel When the American and Brit ish attaches returned to Moscow, they were told they could not travel in Russia. The Rus sian attaches had been restricted to Washington before today's order. The American and British embassies in' Moscow, deciding that the four attaches could no longer function properly because of the restrictions, informed the Russian government today that the attaches are be ing Embassy Is Told The Americans, CoL George A.

Eshtol In a letter of resignation, Eshkol said a majority of his 18-month-old cabinet was not prepared to accept the pro posal of Justice Minister Dov Joseph for a new inquiry into the The Lavon affair, officially a secret, has been reported as an "effort in 1954 to create bad blood between Egypt and the United States by setting fire, among other things, to Ameri can offices in Cairo and Alex" andria," in the words of the Manchester Guardian. Resigned in 1955 No other single political issue in Israel has aroused more emotion or claimed more space in the press than the Lavon affair, which culminated in the resignation in 1955 of Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon. Details have never been officially divulged of an allegedly abortive security operation abroad ordered by Lavon, which at the time was said1 to have caused loss of lives and liberty as well as political damage to Israel's name. In his letter of resignation tonight, Eshkol said the whole issue had turned into a subject for discussion within the political parties, while in his view it was a matter of state which the government should be free to decide. Evades a Showdown Parliamentary sources said Eshkol's move was intended to evade a direct showdown with former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion within the Mapai Labor party the affair.

A danger of a subsequent split in the party has also been averted for the time being, the sources said.

The end came Good Samaritan where he had been listed in critical con dition for several days with lobar pneumonia. At his bedside were his wife of 37 years, There se, 58, and daughters Stephanie, 20, and Lorraine, 30. Becomes a Star Bendix underwent surgery for stomach ulcers in 1955 and had recurring trouble since. He was brought to Good Samaritan hospital from his home in Palm Desert Tuesday. Bendix was that rarity, a character actor who became a William Bendix star.

Most stars have fancy profiles and faultless physiques, but he was built like a barrel and had a face, like 20 miles of bad road. He once "I'm about as handsome as a mud fence." i But he' was fascinating to watch. In his occasional roles as a heavy he radiated pure force and menace. Playing the pal of conventional heroes, he was a convincing hail fellow well met. And as TVs Chester Riley, involved in endless do mestic predicaments, he showed a sure touch for comedy.

Tries a Variety of Jobs Born in New York City on Jan. 14, 1906, Bendix tried a variety of jobs before clicking as an actor bat boy for the New York Giants, semi-professional baseball player, singing waiter, grocer. He had a brief stint on the boards at 16 as a member of the Henry Street Settlement House players. But not until he joined the federal theater project in the mid-1930s did he make acting a career despite a string of six flops on Broad way. His first hit was as a policeman in William Saroyan's "The Time of Your Life" in 1939.

He came to Hollywood in 1941 to appear in "Woman of the Year." Soon he was starring on his own, notably in Eugene O'Neill's 'The Hairy, Ape." He made a formidable heavy, such RACIST POLICY Defends Rescue Air Mission 'MASSACRE British estimate Congo rebels massacred 20,000. Story on page 2. BY WILLIAM FULTON United Nations Correspondent tCaiceto Tribeae Press Seoricel New York, Dec. 14 Adlai Stevenson, chief United States delegate to the United Nations, warned fiery African leaders today that if they continued on the course of black racism the future of their continent would be "bloody and shameful." Speaking at another urgent session of the U. N.

security council, the former Illinois gov ernor countered violent charges by Afro-Asian-communist speakers that the recent rescue of hostages in the tortured Congo constituted "military aggression." Stevenson noted that military aid was poured into the pro-communist rebels in the for- mer Belgian Congo by the Adlai Stevenson Soviet Union, Red China, United Arab Republic Egypt, Ghana, Algeria, Burundi, and the Congo Republic formerly French Congo. "All Have Dissidents" "If the outsiders, not the insiders, decide when intervention is right, the fragile fabric of nationhood will come apart at the seams in a score of new African nations," he warned. "Every nation has its dissidents, its internal struggle for power, its internal arguments about who should be in charge and how the country should be' run. "But if every internal rivalry is to become a Spanish Civil war, with each faction drawing in other Africans and great powers from other continents, the history of independent Africa in this century will be bloody and shameful, and the aspirations of Africa's wonderful peoples will be cruelly postponed." Accused of Aggression That was why, Stevenson told his colleagues, the United States had supported an international peacekeeping force in the Congo for nearly four years. He deplored the withdrawal of the U.

N. mission because the Russians and their communist satellites refused to pay their assessments toward it. The American representative recalled that in the last few days of debate his country had been accused of "wanton aggression," of "premeditated aggression," of plotting a humanitarian mission as a "pretext" for military intervention, of a "nefarious action" designed "to exterminate the black inhabitants," and numerous other inflammatory charges. "And that's not all," said Stevenson. "We have heard words in this chamber either I LeRoy Collins UUk Justices Clark (left) and Black federal community relations service established by the act to work for voluntary compliance with the law, said in a statement that some citizens have unjustifiably withheld compliance because they felt the court would hold the law unconstitutional.

"The decision this morning clearly rules out this excuse," Collins said. "I hope we can now mount a solid program for full compliance with the law." A justice department spokesman said about 650 complaints alleging discrimination have been received. Weight of 140 Years The court also held in a 5 to 4 decision that the act requires the dismissal of trespass convictions of civil rights demonstrators in sit-in cases that originated prior to enactment of the law in cases where the demonstrations occurred in places covered by the act. The court was told there are 3,000 such cases pending in the courts. Justice Tom C.

Clark spoke for the court in the four cases disposed of today. The dissenters in the two sit-in cases were Justices Hugo L. Black, John Harlan, Potter Stewart, and Byron R. White. In the Heart of Atlanta motel case, the court affirmed the judgment of a special three Continued on page 2, col.
