The house was originally to be sold to the highest bidder, but no bids were received by the deadline at noon yesterday. City Attorney Craig Caldwell is checking into the legality of selling the house on the open market and school officials intend to get the sanction of the Bristol Board of Realtors if the attorney says the house can be sold. The property on which the house is built is owned jointly by the city and the Sullivan County School Board.

C. 1 R. Martison, director of the school, said the house can be constructed as a practical training course for the students at the school and that money received from its sale will be used to finance another. It is the second house built by students. "We are not in the house building business," Martison said.

"The house is a by-product of our training program." Martison said he did not have any idea why there were no bidders. He said he had as recently as last month been asked about the first house that the school constructed a year ago and if it were still for sale. That house was sold to a bidder.

The federal space agency said special receivers at a comparatively inexpensive $30,000 per copy would be turned over to some 45 stations to collect Kennedy (Continued from Page One) Dirksen favored a "persuasive" approach. Kennedy anticipated the battle. He said "enactment of 'The Civil Rights Act of 1963' at this session of the Congress however long it may take and however troublesome it may be--is imperative." A text of the bill submitted by the President put the proposals this way: "It is hereby declared to be the policy of this act to promote the general welfare by eliminating discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in voting, education and public accommodations through the exercise by Congress of the powers conferred upon it to regulate the manner of holding federal elections, to enforce the provisions of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, to regulate commerce among the several states, and to make laws necessary and proper to execute the powers conferred upon it by the Constitution." This broke up into these sections: -A public accommodations bill "to guarantee all citizens equal access to the services and facilities of hotels, restaurants, places of amusem*nt and retail establishments." -A request that the attorney general be empowered to file suits in federal courts on behalf of Negro students seeking admission to all-white schools.

This was sought to speed up public school integration ordered by the Suprene Court in 1954. The government should have the right to step in, Kennedy said, because "it is unfair and unrealistic to expect that the burden of initiating such cases can be wholly born by private Itigants." -A program to help alleviate unemployment among Negroes by broadening the federal manpower development and training program, expanding the pending youth employment bill, and passing legislation to increase vocational education for Negroes. -The elimination of racial discrimination in employment both through passage of "pending federal fair employment practices legislation applicable to both employers and unions." A House labor subcommittee approved such legislation shortly before the President's message reached Congress. -The granting of permanent legal status to the Committee on Equal Employment Opportunities, headed by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The committee's job is to check complaints of racial discrimination in firms holding government contracts. Road Department Rejects Smyth Project Offers MARION, Va.
