feels that due to the civil war in

Continued From First Page.

February 20, and . similar per-
formance could have been staged
as the rules now stand against the
anti-poll tax, anti-lynching or fair
employment practice bill.
Most Republicans and Northern
Democrats started out last month
supporting the Hayden-Wherry
resolution, which kept the rule at
two-thirds of the Senators present.
but made it clear that debate
could be cut OF on a preliminary
motion, or any other question.
The Southerners demonstrated
they could block this change. and
a majority Of Senator'S from both
parties decided yesterday to settle
for the 64-vote compromise. which
means two-thirds Of the entire
membership instead Of two-thirds
of those present.
Administration hackers regard
the compromise as = backward
step because the old rule made It
possible for q smaller number to
close debate. For example. If only
80 Senators were on hand under
the existing rule. so could close
debate.
The catch In this argument
however, is that as long as the
present rule is confined to q
pending measure, not even Be
Senators can close debate on the
preliminary motion that must
pass before a bill becomes the
pending measure.

I'VE must guard against a blind

which might seek to defend the

lin Plane Emergency
BY the Assoeiutsd Press

LONDON, Mar. 16.-An Ameri-
can Overseas Airline plane bound
for New York with 43 passengers
made q safe emergency landing
without brakes here last night.
The passengers slipped cocktails
and ate hot dinner while the
plane circled for nearly four
hours TO tighten its fuel load.
After landing. they promptly
shifted to another plane and con-
tinued the trip. Among them
was Rita Lynch, Irish soprano
who has a date in Chicago to
make st. Patrick's night broad
cast.
Their big Constellation. the
flagship Sweden, landed 4 hours
and 10 minutes after taking of
from Shannon Airport in Fire.
Pilot Walter Hostettler Of
Manhasset, N. Y, said the land
ing gear retracted only partially
after the takeoff. He said he
feared to risk transatlantic
crossing with the fuel-consuming
added air drag of the partly low
cred wheels.
He finally got the gear into
landing position, but the hy-
draulic pressure needed to oper-
ate the brakes failed.
Rain had made the Shannon
runways slippery, so he chose to
set down at Heathrow, where the
runWayS are longer.

White accused us of insincerity In
the rules change fight.
Last week Lucas, Senator
Myers of Pennsylvania and met
with White and q delegation
There was some pretty straight
talk. I told him we didn't like
that sort of treatment and said
he should help us and not cut our
hearts out. That meeting ended
on a friendly basis. Then came
this trouble"
Senator McGrath said that
during the 12-hour f1libuster
speech of Senator Ellender OF
Louisiana he met Mr.. White In
the corridor and was shown q
new and proposed NAACP state
ment.
II saw the words 'abject sur
render" Senator McGrath said
and hit the roof. I told White
this was new evidence that he
was more interested in himself
than in his cause. I said he
should attack his enemies not his
friends.
II feel we have done our best
in this fight and been faithful to
our civil rights pledges to the
detriment of other interests OF
the party. It cuts deeply when
people who know the record don't
appreciate it but 60 out of the
way to question our sincerity"
White Blames McGrath "Strain."
Senator McGrath displayed a
letter he received from Mr.. White
late yesterday. Mr.. White said
he attributed the unfortunate
incident in Mr.. Bifde's Office to
fatigue and the strain under
which you have worked these last
few days" He said he felt Sena-
tor McGrath had misinterpreted
the remarks which outraged him
Il appreciate his writing and
will send q cordial answer u
Senator McGrath said. Il trust
this will close the incident"
He added:
1T nevertheless has not af-
fected in any way my sincere de-
termination to fight to the ut
most for any civil rights
program"
A third step suggested by Mr..
White was for association men,
bers to write letters to your daily
papers blasting the sellout Of the
civil rights program"
Don't fail" the letter urged
This is the time for the Demo
cratic Party to hear from the
people back in the voting pre-
cincts. Your power. If you raise
enough racket, may turn the tide
Remember, a President can an.
nounce a program but if the
