The cordiality and friend ship generated by Mrs. Helen Douglas (who with her hus band Al, and Zee Woods owns the, Red Rooster) fill this es tablishment and are quite con tagious. It's not at all unusual to find customers occupying a table in front of the lounge, and conversing with another party at the rear of the room. First name references, three and four-way conversations, and mingling customers are commonplace.

Well seasoned entree items, like pig tails, trotters (pig feet), chit terlings, ham hocks, and neck bones have been prime menu items there for years. One major difference quickly point ed out by this proprietor is the present rise in wholesale costs of these formerly inex pensive meats. According to the one-time owner and now chief cook of the Rooster, John Lloyd Tabb, when these meats are seasoned well and served with collar ds and hot bread, they will satisfy the toughest customer.

Alongside these glass cover ed cases, persons who prefer background melodies while dining are pleased to find a wide selection of music on the juke box.

Job Bias Investigation Is Lagging WASHINGTON - The cnairman of the Equal Employ ment Opportunity Commission said Sunday that because of lim ited funds it is running 18 months behind in processing complaints of job discrimina tion. By the time the EEOC ren ders a decision, said William H. Brown 111, many of those bring ing the charges "have lost inter est, many have moved away." He said also witnesses become unreachable. He said the effect is that the EEOC is unable to do the job it should be doing under a section of the 1964 Civil Rights Act bar ring discrimination in employ ment because of age, sex, reli gion, national origin, race or color. About 25 per cent of the cases being filed with the commission alledge discrimination on the basis of sex, Brown said. He was interviewed by Sens. Hugh Scott and Richard S. Schweiker, Pennsylvania Re publicans, on a program taped for television and radio broad cast in Pennsylvania. Beside a bigger budget than last year's $8.9 million, Brown said the EEOC needs authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to back up its findings. self in what has been popu larly termed the "Amen Corn er," for men only. Since 1956 professionals and nonprofessionals, the young and the old, residents and nonresidents of the com munity, have found the Doug las' Red Rooster a favorite meeting place anytime of the day or evening. It opens at 12 noon and the kitchen closes at 11:00 p.m. the bar •t 4:00 a.m. President Watches Coverage WASHINGTON President Nixon sat rapt before his television set during the epochal Apollo 11 moon landing and called it "the greatest moment of our time." The President sat alone in his hideaway office in the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House to view coverage of the landing on a portable color television set. He told his press secretary Ronald Zieg'er that the last 22 minutes of the descent "were the longest I have ever lived through. c "It felt like a half hour," Nixon said to Ziegler. "This represents another great step in the history of man," Nixon said shortly after the touchdown in a telephone call to Secretary of State William P. Rogers. According to Ziegler, the President told Rogers the moon flight would "bring the peoples of the world closer together." Nixon then received a telephone call from Dr. Thomas 0. Paine, administrator of the National Aeronautics and " Space Administration (NASA) who reported that the astronauts had landed safely. The President told Paine he was "proud of all who were involved for what you have done" and added that the "same technological genius that got the men to the moon will get them back safely to Earth." Nixon then sent for Col. Frank A. Borman who has been standing by at the White House to assist the President in communicating with the space mission. Borman was commander of Apollo eight, the first manned flight to orbit the moon. Nixon told Borman that success of the moon operation pointed the way to new breakthroughs in solving problems at home as well as in space, Ziegler said. The President then telephoned his wife who had watched the landing in the White House family living quarters with Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower, widow of the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Family Watches Also gathered around the White House television set were Julie Eisenhower and Tricia, the Nixon daughters, and David Eisenhower, the President's son-in-law. The President is expected to speak to astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. on the moon for about three minutes during a split-screen television hookup sometime after 9 p.m. He will make the unprecedented call from his Oval Office in the White House. The President feeling confident about the mission, set up a moon watch in the White House following religious services in the East Room at 11 a.m. EDT when he led the nation in prayers for a successful landing and -eturn. JOHNSONS PLAN IIOMF Austin, Tex. —Former Presi dent and Mrs. Johnson are plan ning to build ahome on al9-acre plot in Austin. Their $259,000 home will benear their daughter, Luei's $70,000 home. Their new life will keep them in the Texas capital much of the time. PARKS FOR WA ITS AREA Washington —The administra tion announced $7.6 million will be used in turning a section of the Watts area of Los Angeles into an industrial park. The 34.5 acre site is being developed by the nonprofit Economic Re sources Corporation, a biracial group of businessmen. THE NEW LOOK IN ( .s? , I k COATS AND SUITS With life today growing ever more complex, fashion is doing an about face with the seem ingly simplest coats and suits seen in years. Lines are classic /!%jl in feeling and so timeless that the fashions could still be in style for several seasons to come. The new look in coats calls for women to do their own fash ion thing. The coat you choose could be closely belted or wrapped and sashed, slim or flared, thigh-high or ankle deep. The important thing to remember is that this year there is no single style that is Ihe style. With pants suits now accepted as proper attire for street wear, no wardrobe is really complete anymore without at least one Pant Suit. The current trend is toward a softer, less structured look. ■' .*» 1 ■ " "NM -.'

Knowledgeable sources vithin the department lescribed the state of the uvestigation Sunday as 'somewhere between jemiactive and moribund," with only a few loose ends remaining to be tied up. Attorney General John N. Mitchell said in a news inference last Monday that '.he department had made no •uvestigation of Fortas limself. He added, however, '.hat the original disclosure in Life Magazine that Justice Fortas had accepted, and later returned, a $20,000 check from the Wolfson Family Foundation had raised questions about possible "obstruction of justice." That matter, Mitchell said, "is still in the department and has pot been finally disposed of." "Obstruction of justice" could refer to any interference with the judicial or administrative process. Life's article stated, for example, that Wolfson, the imprisoned financier, and his associates had repeatedly dropped hints about his connection with Justice Fortas, at various stages of his legal difficulties with the securities and exchange commission and the court. But no Justice Department official has ever specified just what "obstruction of justice" S)UNEXReCTeP aSeiti BY CANADA DRY Where the Unexpected is Expected Unexpectedly, you're the party's best mind reader! You are blindfolded at a party, your associate asks a guest to write a number from one to nine on a sheet of paper, he shows everyone the sheet, asks you the number, and after wrinkling your brow you tell him what it is' And speaking of the popular jacket and skirt ensemble, there's fashion news here as well. The look that says "just arrived" is the outfit with "un matched" parts. Checks bounce with prints, minimal colors with brights, textured fabrics with real smooth numbers. The prac tical three piece suit is being joined by suits of four and five parts. The results: "going home to change" is fast becoming an outdated notion!
