6. 0. P. Leaders Plan
Showdown in Senate
On Civil Rights Bills
BY the Associated Press

Prodded from within their own
ranks, Republican leaders laid
plans today to force a Senate
showdown on civil rights bills.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee, told a reporter that if
the Democrats didn't move to
bring up a Fair Employment
Practices Commission bill within
two weeks, Republicans will press
for it,"
Senator Taft's statement came
after Senators Lodge, Republican
of Massachusetts,, and Ives, Re-
publican of New York said in sep
arate interviews they would de-
mand action by their party tc
bolster what both have labeled
as a weakened Endorsement oil
civil rights bills in this week s
COP policy declaration.
I'VE will get chance to vote or
this question and I'm hoping thai
the Republicans will show they are
for action, not just talk, about civil
rights" Senator Ives said.
The question probably will come
before the Senate on a motion tt
take up the FEPC bill, which would
ban job discrimination on grounds
of race or religion. ANY move tt
take up FEPC is certain to touch
off filibuster by Southern Dem
ocrats.

Paging WiIdIife Service; Moose al Newspaper Doorstep

SEATTLE, June 13-R-A flop cared moose calf, estimated to be about two weeks old, was found or Seattle Times ramp yesterday af- ternoon shortly after an unidenti- fled man vas seen near the spot.
 Its legs were trussed and it's body was encased in burlap. Attached was a note which read:
 George is an orphan through no fault of mine. The people of Seattle need him to grow up in Woodland Park, but it's not convenient for me to go Up there and answer lot of questions"
 Moose generally are found in Alaska and British Columbia on the Pacific Coast. Metropolitan downtown newspaper buildings are not considered native habitat.
 Officials at Woodland Park, tc whom the pop-eyed. spindly-legged funny little 'critter' was given, said they would do what they could for it but Moose usually can't be kept in captivity successfully. George has critical days ahead"

BRYAN REJECTS EUROPEAN STEEL,
 GOAL POOL IDEA
tBy Associated. Pressl

Until European nations turn soc- lalist, the ruling British labor party declared today in a major policy statement, Britain should stay out of programs for European politica, and economic unity.
 The statement rejected the Schu- man plan for pooling Western European coal and steel resources saying: Such planning will be worse than useless if it is inspired, like the cartel of the past, exclus- iyely by the desire for private profit"
 The new policy, announced by the party's national executive commit tee, made it clear that British socialists fear mergers with Europe nay threaten labor's policy of full employment and increased produc- tion through government planning
 The statement said European unity is not an overriding end in itself. It said national sovereignty and Britain's obligations to hei worldwide commonwealth and em- pire must come first.
 Labor has shaky hold on the present. Parliament and an cleo jon may be necessary this year or next. Labor's newly outlined foreign policy will play a big part n that election.

U. 5. OFFICIALS , DISAPPOINTED AT
 BRITAIN'5 MOVE

WASHINGTON, June 13 = tR - American officials privately ex- pressed sharp disappointment to- day at the ruling British Labor party's rejection of British partici- patton in the Schuman Plan for European coal-steel pooling.
 However, State Department authorities said there was no pros- pect that the United States, al- though strongly favoring the Schu- man Plan, would threaten to with hold Marshall Plan funds or use other means of pressuring the British government into going along
 Secretary of State Acheson told news conference last week that he does not consider it a good thing to use one foreign policy program to try to force acceptance of another.
 There is speculation here, how ever, that the Labor party's stand may create a major political issue in Britain-particular if Conser- vative party leaders take the eppo- site side.

NEW SOCIAL SECURITY BILL DEBATE OPENS
Senator Would Add 10 Million Persons 10
 Benefit Rolls

WASHINGTON, June 13 = R - Senator George (D-Ga) said to- day a more liberal social security program is needed to protect addi- tional millions of citizens and give them reasonable retirement bene- fits.
 Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, he opened debate on bill which would add nearly 10,000,- 900 persons to the 35,000,000 now covered by the old-age and surviv- ors insurance system and sharply increase benefit payments.
 Administration leaders are hope full that the Senate will finish with the bill early next week. It is a revised version of a measure passed by the House last October Its enactment is key part of the administration program.
 George said that higher level of benefits is long overdue. He noted that the retirement systems benefit formula has been unchah- ged since 1889 despite the sharp increase in prices and wage levels that have occurred since that time."

 On behalf of himself and 20 others, Senator Capehart CR-Ind) introduced resolution for an in- vestigation by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 A Foreign Relations subcommlt- tee now is looking into the five-year old case as part of it's general in uuiry into charges by Senator Me Carthy (R-Wis) of Communism in the government.
 The COP resolution would direct the Judiciary Committee to:
 Conduct a full and complete study and investigation with re- spect to the conduct by the Depart ment of Justice of the investigation of, and prosecution of the defend ants in, the so-called Amerasla case"
 The case involved discovery by federal agents of hundreds of sec ret government documents in the New York Headquarters of Amer asia, a now defunct magazine.
 There have been charges in Con- gress of cover up" and white wash" in prosecution of the case five years ago.
 Senate Democratic Leader Lucas of Illinois took a dim view of the COP resolution. He indicated to re- porters that he would oppose a Senate vote on it.
 We certainly are not going to have two Amerasia investigations going on," Lucas declared. T cant understand why there should be two"

 DEFENSE BAD;. WHOSE FAuLT!.
Mayors Conference Hears Military to BIdme-Mili-
 taryP!dmes Civilians

SAN FRANCISCO. June 131R- Civilian leaders and military ex- perts are agreed the West Coasts defense against atomic warfare is inadequate.
 But they disagree on who is to blame. The civilians say the federal government and military are at fault. The military blame the civil ianS.
 That - plus ominous warnings ol the effects of atom bombing = wa the tenor of two-day conference opening here yesterday, with the mayors of Pacific Coast cities or their representative in attendance
 The conference was called by Mayor Elmer Robinson of San Fran cisco, who has charged the govern ment with failing to provide ade- quate information for civilian de- fense in case of an attack.
 Robinson noted yesterday West Coast cities represented at the meeting have a total population of nearly 5.000,000 and "all are within approximately 10 hours flying time of the nearest Soviet air base"
 But 1t. Col. w. M. Hanes, Sixth Army planning officer, declared many municipalities had fallen down on the civilian planning effort. He said:
 One of the large bay area cities has nothing but an organization chart. despite repeated efforts of the military"
 Added to this divergence of views was a gloomy picture by a medical expert who inspected the worlds first atom bombed cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
 Dr. Stafford Warren, dean of the medical school at the University oi California at Los Angeles, said l( atom bombs could wipe out any city along the Pacific Coast. Mayors of cities from Seattle te San Diego attended.
