Draft Bill Vote 10 Force
Test Of Service Policy
Easing Segregation
BY the Asseeioied Press

Senators were lining up yester-
day for a showdown battle over
President Truman's equality of
treatment" order under which
racial segregation is being grad
ually ended in the armed services.
The test will come this week
when the Senate considers a pro-
posed three-year extension of the
peacetime draft act now due to
expire Saturday.
This time usual positions in the
bitter Senate disputes over Civil
Rights legislation will be reversed.
Senator Russell. Democrat, Of
Georgia. leader of the Southern
Senators who have won most re-
cent battles against Civil Rights
measures, will be pushing for an
amendment he termed a true
Civil Rights move"
Lucas Hopes to Beat Plan.
At Senator Russell's urging, the
Senate Armed Services Committee
adopted q provision which would
allow all persons who enlist or are
drafted into the Army, Navy, Air
Force or Marines to request serv-
ice with units made up of "his own
race" Officers who failed to car
ry out this stipulation would be
subject to court martial.
Senator Russell told a reporter
he regards this proposal as true
Civil Rights move because it pro-
tects the rights of an individual
to select his own associates when
he is under military compulsion."
Majority Leader Lucas and
other Democrats who have had no
success with Civil Rights measures
in the past already have filed
motion to knock out the Russell
provision.
II think we'll be able to take it
out" Senator Lucas said in
separate interview.
Senator Russell, however. is ex-
pected to have almost solid sup
port of Southern Senators and he
also has promises of votes from
several Republicans.
Two Bills Differ.
The Senate is scheduled to take
up the draft bill after it completes
action on legislation to expand the
social security program. Voting on
the latter measure is slated to
start at 4 pm. Tuesday.
Besides the Russell proposal
there are several other major diff
ferences between the Senate draft
measure and the one already ap-
proved by the House.
For one thing the House voted
to continue the peacetime con-
scription for only two years, while
the pending Senate bill provides
for a three-year extension.
The House measure also would
prevent any actual inductions of
men 18 through 25 years of age
until the Senate and House ap-
proved resolution authorizing re-
sumption of the draft calls.
Under the Senate version the
President would retain his exist
ing authority to order inductions
whenever they are needed to fill
the armedd forces manpowef
needs.

Coffee Nation Enyoys
Plan Mass Protest on
Gillette Price Inquiry
~ The A,,oe;o,sd Pres.

Ambassadors Of II coffee grow
ing countries plan to descend en-
masse tomorrow morning on Sec
retary of State Acheson to hand
him q note blasting the Senate's
coffee price investigation.
The investigation committee.
headed by Senator Gillette, Demo-
crat Of Iowa, charged that specu-
lators prof1ted in last Falls sudden
price boom, 1t made recommen-
dations which the Latin Amer
leans attack as Intervention in
their internal affairs.
"And in its entirety" says the
note of which a copy was obtained
by a reporter yesterday. "the re-
port proposes that the United
States Government initiate what
might amount to economic war
fare" against the coffee nations.
Nete Signed by IL Envoys.
Eleven Of the IA signed the note,
but all will take part in the mass
move on the State Department to
demonstrate Latin American soli-
darity against the charges, and
their bitter reaction to it.
Cuba, Mexico and Venezula,
which are relatively minor pro-
ducers. are expected to submit In
dividual statements.
The note asks mo adverse
change" in United States policy
toward Latin America.
It said Senator Gillette's Agri-
culture subcommittee proposed
that the Justice Department "po-
lice. against possible antitrust law
violations, the meetings Of an In
ternational Coffee Commission in
which the governments Of the
undersigned are represented and
in which the Government Of the
United States is represented also"
Proposal Called 'Unfriendly."
It was especially bitter about
suggestion that the United States
give technical aid to "other
friendly nations" seeking to in
crease coffee production.
The Latin Americans called this
proposal most unfriendly." They
mused that 1t was 'paradoxical"
coming from an Agriculture Com
mittee which has handled farm
legislation concerned with "assur-
ance of fair price to producers"
by acreage reduction and with
holding of surpluSeS.
Carried into effect, the recon-
mendations would impair the liv-
ing standards of the people of
those nations and could leave their
economies PROSTATE" the note
states.
Meanwhile, the special commits
sion on coffee of the Organization
of American States denied that
the recent increase in coffee prices
was due to market manipulation
and other practices.
Replying to Gillette committee
charges, the commission said the
increase was due "basically to the
operation of the laws of supply
and demand"
1t said further that the state
ments of the Senate group are
likely to discourage further in
vestments in coffee production
and also supply ammunition for
Communist agitators in Latin
America.
The commission is made up of
representatives of all IA Latin
American coffee producing coun-
tries. Edward G. Gale Of the
United States is chairman. but he
did not concur in the statement.
