Las Vegas SENTINEL-VOICE, October 20,1983 Senators Kennedy, Helms Lock Horns On Bill To Honor Dr. King I Efforts to stall a bill to Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a national holiday was rejected by the Senate Tuesday after a bitter quarrel erupted between Sens. Jesse Helms and Edward Ken-nedy over theviewsofthe dead Kennedy brothers. Helms, R-N.C., bat-tling virtually alone, In-voked both John and Robert Kennedy in his effort to block the King holiday. Kennedy said that his assassinated brothers were being unjustly en-listed in "a smear cam-paign." Black Boy Rejected By Georgia Church Late Bulletin it's official. The U.S. Senate Wednesday af-ternoon voted 78-22 in favor of declaring the third Monday in January of each year beginning 1986 as a national legal holiday coinciding with the birthday month for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was anticipated that President Ronald Rea-gan would sign the bill into law within 24 hours of the vote. Helms, convinced the black leader was a com-munist, asked U.S. Dis-trict Judge John Lewis Smith to release im-mediately records from FBI surveillance of King that were ordered sealed for 50 years in 1977, but the judge rejected his re-quest Tuesday after-noon. Senate leaders had said the debate would proceed regard-less of the court ruling. Helms quickly appeal-ed Smith's ruling to the U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-peals for the District of Columbia. A ruling was not expected before Wednesday. Again Helms was de-feated, 90-3, when later In the day he asked the Senate to subpoena the same documents that the judge refused to re-lease. On a key 76-12 vote, Helms failed in a bid to have the bill sent to the Judiciary Committee for study. He argued the Senate should have hearings on the mea-sure, as did the House, which approved the holi-day 338-90 Aug. 2. Kennedy, D-Mass., said the Senate has had 15 years to think over the Idea, first introduced in Congress shortly after King was assassinated in 1968. Kennedy also dis-puted arguments the holiday might cost as much as $12 billion an-nually because stores and banks would close. The Congressional Bud-get Office estimated It will cost the government $18 million in lost pro-ductivity. Helms, who filibus-tered the measure earl-ier, refused to abandon delaying tactics al-though passage Is cer-tain and President Rea-gan has promised tosign the bill. Speaking of his Sen-ate colleague Helms said, "His argument is with his dead brother who was president and his dead brother who was attor-ney general — not the senator from North Carolina." "I am appalled at the attempt of some to mis-appropriate the memory of my brother, Robert Kennedy, and misuse it as part of this smear campaign," Kennedy re-sponded.

Eric Preston, 10, and his mother, Patricia, were told at an organi-zational scout meeting last month the boy would not be allowed to join until a separate black unit was formed in the community. "They told us he couldn't be in Cub Scouts because he was black," said Mrs. Pres-ton, who had written out a $28 check for Eric's membership dues. "My child cried all the way home. He said, 'Mommy, why can't I be a Cub Scout?' The only thing I could say at the moment was, 'You're not white.'" ROOFING CO.
