Bill TO Take u. ). Out
OF Rubber Business
Passes Senate, 65-16
BY the Associofsd Press

The Senate passed, 65-16. last
night a bill to get the Govern
ment out Of the synthetic rubber
business but it attached an
amendment some Senators de-
clared might prevent sale of the
% plants.
The measure, asked by PreSi-
dent Eisenhower, now goes to a
Senate conference with the
House, which approved it in a
form lacking many of the Senate
provisions.
The amendment which sup
porters of the bill said might be
fatal was sponsored by Senator
Long, Democrat, of Louisiana
and adopted 47-35, with Demo-
Gratis supplying most of the yes"
votes.
Pushed by Democrats.
1t was one of several pushed
by the Democrats, in six hours
of heated debate yesterday, to
remove what some of them de-
Scribed as "giveaway" features.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana, floor manager for
the bill, strongly denied any give
away was involved.
Senator Longs amendment
would permit either branch of
Congress to veto any of the sales
individually. AS reported by
Senator Capehart's Banking
Committee, the bill would have
required the Senate or House to
accept or reject the disposal
program IN one package.
Senator Capehart argued that
the Long amendment would keep
private companies from bidding
on the plants. He said they
would fear Congress might turn
down some of the sales, and thus
leave part of the plants under
Government operation in COM
petition with private business.
Sees Plenty of Buyers.
But Democratic Leader john
son of Texas told him. You can
walk out any entrance to this
Senate chamber right now, and
you will find plenty of people
who want to buy these plants"
The 20 synthetic rubber plants
were built in World War II at
a cost of $518 million. Senator
Douglas, Democrat, of. Illinois
said it would cost twice that to
reproduce them now. They were
operated by the Government last
year at a $62-million- dollar
profit.
The Senate bill would set up
three-member commission to be
named by Gen. Eisenhower to
handle the sale. 1t would ad-
vertiSe for and receive bids, nego-
tate contracts and submit them
to Congress for approval.
Several Amendments Accepted.
Senator Capehart accepted
several Democratic amendments.
These would:
l. Extend for eight months the
time for submission of the dis
posal contracts to Congress. AS
originally recommended. the bill
set June l, 1854; the new date Is
January 81, 1855.
?. Allow six months for receipt
of bids instead of the 80 days
originally fixed.
3. Give Congress so days to
reject any of the contracts, in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-07-22

stead of 30 days as voted by the
Banking Committee.
4. Insure that Congress can
vote on the disposal plans by
making them a privileged matter
any Senator or House member
can call up.
5. Require Attorney General
Brownell OF give an opinion as to
whether the disposal plans vio-
late antitrust laws.

Flamingo Cocktail Bor Opened Friday

Ultra modern" is the only word to describe the new cock tail bar, Flamingo. It opened Friday afternoon under the ownership and management of George and Richie Giardina.
 The cove ceiling with indirect lighting gives the impression of an inverted crater On the north wall, facing the door is an inn pressive mural of tropical scenes reminiscent of the native home of the flamingo. The other walls are silver with a dado of pol ished mahogany. The irregular bar is the latest word in ele- gance, equipped with speed bar for rapid mixing of bev- erageS.
 Behind the bar is a small stage for. entertainers, with a console grand piano and solovox.
 Huge upholstered chairs in flamingo red entice the visitor to finger. The entire room is car peted in soft gray. Flamingo shades are carried out in the ladies room, where the furnish ings are of rose tile.
 As favors to all the ladies, the hostess pinned on a baby orchid as each lady entered the lounge. Special music by Doris Smith and Martha Carli enlivened the evening of the opening day.
 Although the Flamingo occu- pies the street side of the Liberty Theater building, it is unobstru- sive and completely soundproof- ed. Theater patrons would not know of its existence except for the neon lighted flamingo and street sign. A large crowd of well wishers attended the open ing from early afternoon on.
