Congress Is 5tingiest
With Civil Defense
Funds, Officials Say
BY the Associassd Press

Federal Civil Defense officials
believe the records will show Con-
gress has been stingier with funds
for the National Civil Defense
plan than for any other major
program.
They point to these figures:
The budget request for the
year which began July was $500
million. Congress voted $43 mil
lion, or little more than 7 per
cent.
Requested for the year 1882
$685. million; Congress voted STA
100000.
The budget request for 195O-51,
after Congress authorized a COM
prehensive national civil defense
program was $403 million: Con-
gresS voted $31 million.
Civil Defense officials add that
when the 1950-51 appropriation
was being considered, the House
approved $186. 100000 and the
Senate, $85 million. A Senate
House conference committee
without explanation, reduced the
funds to $31 million.
When Congress completed ac-
ton on Civil Defense funds for
this year it not only had cut the
request by $557 million, it had
eliminated virtually all items deal
Ing with special weapons defenses
officials said.
Those included funds for sup
plies for emergency hospitals, for

Two Senator's Predict
Solid Backing in South
OF Democratic Ticket
By Jock Bell
A,soeiotsd Prsss voIiiieal Writer

? ii p.
Two Democratic Senator'S pre-
dicted today the South win remain
solid this November despite evi-
dent dissatisfaction with the DEM
ocratic platform.
Senators Long Of Louisiana and
Green Of Rhode Island said in
separate interviews they believe
Gen. Eisenhower. the Republican
presidential nominee. won't win a
single Southern State.
Gen. Eisenhower has counted
heavily on breaking into the South
to Offset. the national preponder-
|ance Of Democratic registration
over Republican.
Both Senators discounted the
likelihood Of any bolt in States
where opposition to the platforms
civil rights declarations Is running
strong.
Stevenson Defends Platform.
Gov. Stevenson Of Illinois, the
Democratic nominee. told q news
conference at Springfield, Ill.,,
yesterday he thinks the platforms
|civil rights plank is a good one.
1T pledges the party In general
terms to work toward the es-
Establishment Of equal rights, in
|cluding fair employment prac-
|tices.
But Gov. Stevenson gave those
who have been working to get his
name on the ticket in every
Southern State some encourage
lment when he said he thinks it is
dangerous to limit debate in a
democracy and is not certain he
would favor a change in the SEN
ate rules.
Critics have charged that a Sen
ate rule requiring ga Of the SEN
ate's 96 votes to end a filibusteI
makes it impossible for Congress
to act on controversial civil rights
measures.
The party platform urged modi-
Ification of this rule but South
lerners oppose any change.
In Richmond. Va. Senator
Sparkman, vice presidential aspir-
ant, said in an interview that the
Question Of establishing a fair en-
|ployment practices commission is
left to legislative bodies.
Sparkman Expresses Views.
Senator Sparkman, who helped
draft this section of the platform,
noted there was no specific men
ton of FEPC in it.
This explanation may not be
enough to avert a possible blast
lby South Carolina Democrats
when they reconvene their State
convention tomorrow to discuss
the party's Chicago convention
results.
Although Gov. Byrnes has re-
manned silent since the Chicago
meeting, there were indications
the South Carolinians may get
behind the Stevenson-Sparkman
ticket despite any platform criti-
lciSm.
Gov. Byrnes was one Of those
who held out against the watered-
down party loyalty pledge at Chi
cage. Gov. Stevenson said he had
no plans to see either Mr.. Byrnes
or Senator Byrd Of Virginia, an
other loyalty pledge opponent.
