Delegation Seeking
Rules Change Gets
Rebuff From Taft

A delegation representing the
Leadership Conference on Civil
Rights yesterday asked Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, to help
change Senate rules to curb fill
busters.
The delegation announced after
ward that it was "bluntly turned
down"
The Conference consists Of So
church, labor and minority or
ganizations. Among the delegates
calling on Senator Taft was CIO
President Walter Reuther's
brother, Roy.
Caucus Action Cited.
He told reporters that Senator
Taft told the delegation the Re-
publican Senate caucus had de-
cided on his recommendation that
the Senate is a continuing body
land. accordingly, there would be
no change in the rules at this
time"
"He admitted" delegation
statement said, that the present
requirement for GA votes to in
woke cloture, (limit debate) is too
stringent and should be reduced
to lesser number, but added
that he was unwilling to attempt
Ia change at this time.
"Ie went on to say he believed
the 81 votes for cloture could be
obtained. if the Senators are
sincere and interested after the
policy and program on civil rights
have been established by Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower and the Re-
publican Policy Committee"
Old Rules Held Adequate.
Senator Taft told reporters that
|if the Eisenhower administration
wants to sponsor civil-rights meas
|ures he is confident they can be
enacted even under the old rules
requiring a tWo-thirds vote of
the SO Senators to end a f1libuster.
Administration plans on the
subject. he said, probably will be
worked out in conferences between
Gen. Eisenhower and congressional
leaders.
Among those who called on
Senator Taft were Walter White.
executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. and
James Carey, secretary-treasurer
of the CIO.

cation, which is a quite modest
sum compared to funds asked for
by other congressional investi-
cation units
A similar investigation unit was
set up in the 80th Republican
Congress when Mr.. Rees also was
chairman.
In announcing plans for a new
investigation unit, Mr.. Rees said
he was certain that millions of
dollars could be saved by such
Ia study.
Revised procedures and opera
tions in personnel practice can
save millions of dollars" MIR. Rees
declared. He said the investiga-
tion during the 80th Congress had
resulted in improvement in Fed
eral personnel practices.
Mr.. Reese feels that with the
executive branch under Republi-
can control as we'll, the new in
|vestigation can result in much
greater improvement and gains be-
cause Of the greater cooperation
it will receive from the admin
iStration.

Prince Georges Legislation

Bills to eliminate Peace Cross
flooding. tighten liquor laws and
grant more home rule head the
proposals which the Prince
Georges County delegation will
carry to Annapolis on Wednesday
for the opening of the General
Assembly.
Delegate j. Frank Lillard, jr.,
called it the greatest legislative
program ever attempted by a
Prince Georges County delega-
ton" Mr.. Lillard said he plans
to seek appointment of special
commission to study various plans
for controlling flood waters at
Peace Cross.

AS Congress convened, it be-
came apparent that the men who
will head the civil service COM
mittees will wait until after
January 20 before taking any
stand or action on the legislative
proposals.
Both Senator Carlson. Repub-
lican. Of Kansas, who will be the
chairman Of the Senate Civil
Service Committee. and Repre-
sentative Rees, Republican, OF
Kansas, the chairman-elect Of the
House Civil Service Committee,
want their programs to be in ac-
cord with the new Presidents.
In this regard. it's likely that
a policy conference on civil serv-
ice matters will take place shortly
between legislative leaders and
the Eisenhower forces. Both Sen
ator Carlson and Representative
Rees are close friends of Gen
Eisenhower and this should make
things easier in arriving at policy
decisions.
Also to be decided by con-
gressional leaders and the Eisen-
hover administration is just what
changes and reorganizationS
should be undertaken in Congress
to modernize the civil service
personnel system.
Observation-Disclosures
as Congress met, Mr.. ReeS lost no
time introducing a resolution
for his group to make a
sweeping investigation of Govern
ment personnel practices.
1t seems fairly certain that the
House will approve the resolution.
Mr. Rees will probably ask for
$25. 900 to carry out the investi-

Sibility was his own.
The Secretary cited a Federal
Court ruling as establishing that
any board action is nothing more
than a recommendation and final
disposition of loyalty cases rests
with the department head con-
cerned.
State Department officials sale
this was the first time Mr.. Ache
son had asked special board
to review any action Of the Loyalty
Board.
He said he could not make a
decision in the Vincent case be-
cause of the confusion" as to the
weight the Loyalty Board gave
to charges against Mr.. Vincent
He noted that, the, board said II
had neither accepted nor rejected
testimony by Louis Budenz. for
mer Communist leader. Mr.. Bu-
denz said he was informed by
others that Mr.. Vincent was a
Communist and under Communist
discipline.
No Decision on Findings.
Nor, Secretary Acheson said
did the board accept or reject
findings of the Senate judiciary
Committee with respect to Mr.
Vincent's connections with the In
Stitute of Pacific Relations or the
committees findings with respect
to Mr.. Vincent's participation ir

"The panel, however, proceeds
to state that, although it has not
accepted or rejected these factors
it has taken them into account.
Mr.. Acheson said. I'm unable tt
interpret what this means.
Secretary Acheson defended MIR
Vincent's criticism of General
Iissimo Chang Kai-shek's govern
ment and praise of the Com
munists when Mr.. Vincent was {
diplomat in China.
He said it was Mr.. Vincent''

Hartman, former director Of

"bewildered and intimidated" be-
cause domestic partisan politics
have been brought into foreign

said:
Let us hope that the Presi-
dent will act and act soon to
eliminate the confusion. define
his position, assert the authority
OF the executive and make plain
that he will not tolerate in
timidation in the administration
OF overseas programs by groups
in Congress that are doing so
much damage to our prestige
around the world"
At q business session earlier
the Guild convention turned
down a proposal to create a wire
service division with all the
rights and responsibilities of a
union local.
The vote against the proposal
was 1877 to SIS.
Instead, the delegates ap-
proved a recommendation by the
international executive board.
which said: -
There shall be a national wire
service council for the purpose
of conducting the affairs of the
wire services effective irnmedi-
ately. The council shall consist
OF a president, three vice presi-
dents and a secretary-treasurer."
