gallery members.
Wherry's action came as a
complete surprise to members
of the Standing Committee of
Correspondents, which governs
the press galleries and which
had recommended a new rule
under which LPA would gain
membership in tn e galleries.
Wherry's move was particularly
serious because it blocked action
at the last scheduled meeting of
the Rules Committee this ses-
sion.
Appeals To Chairman
LPA Immediately appealed to
Chairman Carl Hayden Cd,
Ariz) to call another meeting
OF the committee b fore ad-
journment to prevent a gross in
justice. 1t pointed out to Hayden
that if the press gallery minor
ity could oVerrule the recon-
mendations of the Standing
Committee, then any action of
the elected governing body of
the gallery could be vetoed by
a single member of the gallery
with a friend on the Rules
Committee.
The Standing Committee also
indicated it would fight for an
other meeting of the committee
and friends of labor throughout
Washington and the country
were rallying to the fight. Mem
bers of the Committee to whom
they are particularly directing
their appeals were: Democratic
Senators Carl Hayden (Ariz. D.
Theodore F. Green (RI) Fran
els j. Myers (Pa.) John c. STEM
Miss (Miss.), Guy M. Gillette
(Iowa). Glen H. Taylor (Idaho),
Garrett Withers (Ky), and Re-
publicans Kenneth S. Wherry

(Calif), Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr
VIM. E. Jenner (Ind),
and Irving NJ. Ives (NY),
Henderickson (N.J) and An
drew Schoeppel (Kan.).
Expected Approval
When the Rules Committee
met Wednesday it had been ex-
pected to approve the new rule
There had been no
notice of opposition to the rule
since it was modified by the
Committee to meet
from within the gal
lery. But Wherry, to everyone's
asked for delay, say
ing he understood there was op-
position. The Committee agreed
10 authorize Hayden to approve
he new rule providing Wherry's
friends were satisfied.

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

LPA, in a letter to Hayden
said: "We applied for member
ship in the galleries last spring.
The committee finally recon-
mended new rule because it
felt it would be unjust to keep
us out under the old rule :.
We feel in view of what has
happened it would be a gross
injustice to us if Congress should
adjourn without acting on that
rule, just because of the ob1ec-
tions of a small minority of the

This was the low fixed-fee bid

Also Gov. Driscoll has been
progressive in his recommends

Strong Support Among Negroes.
Gov. Driscoll has strong sup

other minority groups because of
civil rights provisions he helped
to include in the new State Con-

One of the laws is a Fair Employ
