Mr.. Harris and Mrs. Toland
were indicted on charges of tam

case.
Assistant United States At

Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws of

tain witnesses had changed their
stories after the indictment had
been returned.
Mr.. Lowther said this led the

Radio Stations Get
Slender Suit Help

TRENTON, N. j.. April 10 up.
The New Jersey Senate yester-
day voted to give radio and tele-
vision stations immunity from
damages for statements made
by political candidates which
cannot be censored.
The Senate passed, $50, and
sent to Gov. Robert B. Meyner
a bill by Assemblyman Alfred N.
BeadleSton, Republican of Mon
mouth, which would protect
broadcasters from libel or SLAM
der suits.
Under existing Federal law
broadcasters are unable to CEN
sor certain kinds of political
speeches.
Senator James F. Murray, ir.,
Democrat of Hudson, said the
bill would eliminate a most
harmful and baleful condition"

We won't get anything at all"
Mr. Heating said. If We try to
go too far at the present time,
we will face defeat. I feel that
this committee will give nearly
unanimous backing to the first
two points in the Attorney Cen
erals recommendations. There
would be greater opposition, per-
haps, to points three and four.
But if we stop there, l believe
we can get favorable action by
this committee.
Commission Proposed
The administrations program,
outlined in letters by the At
torney General yesterday to
Speaker Rayburn and Vice Pres
ldent Nixon. called for:
Creation of bipartisan COM
mission on civil rights to be
appointed by the President; an
additional assistant Attorney
General to head a new civil
rights division in the Justice
Department; amendment of en-
listing laws to provide greater
protection OF the right to vote.
and to give the Justice Depart
ment additional civil rights laws
under which civil suits as we'll
as criminal action could be
taken where citizens were de-
prived of their rights.
Mr.. Brownell told reporters
the committee requested the
Justice Department to submit
tentative drafts of bills to carry
out the purposes of the third
and fourth points.
Mr.. Celler declared after the
meeting that the Attorney Gem
erals suggested four points

tanned in the omnibus bill. He

Hommorskjo|d Visits
Israel, Goes On to Cairo

At about the same time, an
Israeli army patrol encountered
another Egyptian fedayeen
squad in the LachiSh area be-
tween Jordan and the GAIA strip
border, an Israeli army spokes-
man said. One of this band
was killed. bringing the total of
fedayeen killed to IL in the past
two days.
Israeli spokesman have
charged the commando strikes
from the GAIA strip are being
made at the direction of the
Egyptian military command. The
were stepped up
after an ISraeli-Egyptian artil-
lery and mortar duel across the
GAIA frontier last Thursday in
which "a Arabs were killed and
l02 wounded. Most of the casu-
alties were Palestine refugees.
Egypt Denies Charge
Egypt has denied that the
raiders are acting under Egyp-
tan army orders. saying they are
refugees not subject to military
control.
There was no immediate re-
action from either Israel or the
Arabs to President Eisenhower's

RELIC FROM THE ANCIENT PAST

Christian Pineau ordered his
ambassadors in Cairo and Tel
Aviv to express Frances grave
concern" over the frontier Situa-
ton. He asked Egypt and Israel
to second the efforts taken by
representatives of the United Ma
lions and to stop any hostile act
which would interfere with pa
cific solutions.
Mr. Hammarskjold'S first Mid
die East stop was Beirut. Leba-

of operations for what he expects
to be a month-long mission.

cerned first"

Dark Outlook
Seen for Action
On Civil Rights

Attorney General Brownell re-
ceived encouragement today that
the House Judiciary Committee
probably will report out at least
part of the administrations four
point civil rights program at this
session of Congress.
Top-ranking committee mem
bers of both parties said. how
ever. that getting such legisla-
ton cleared by the House Rules
Committee for action by the
House itself before adjournment
might be an inSurmountable
problem.
Mr.. BroWnell, at a two-hour
closed session with the commit
tee, advised against attempting
to enact at this time anything
more than the administration
proposed in the program sub
mitted to Congress yesterday.
There must certainly be grave
doubt as to whether it is wise
to propose at the present time
any further extension of the
criminal law into the extraor-
dinarily sensitive and delicate
area of civil rights" Mr.. Brownell
said.
Cellar Lukewarm
Committee Chairman Cellar,
Democrat of New York. had only
lukeWarm praise for the admin
iStration's recommendations. He
said they were good as far as
they went but they are like
using a beanshooter where you
should use a gun"
Mr.. Cellar insisted that the
omnibus civil rights bill he in
PRODUCED would be far more eff
fective in safeguarding civil
rights in many fields. But Rep
reSentative Heating. Republican
of New York, top ranking mi
nority member Of the commit
tee, told reporters the Cellar bill
would not pass the House and
perhaps would not even be re-
ported out by the committee at
this time.

held large Government clothing
contracts.
Later Gregory Harrington. a
New York bond trader, testified
that Mr.. Abrams purchased
through him in 1851 and 1852
nearly Sc million in bonds OF
various types.
Many Names Fictitious
Testimony showed that So
10000 in bonds were bought by
Mr., Abrams in his own name and
s2,867 900 were purchased by the
clothing makers in the names Of
q other persons.
Carmine Bellino, a subcommit-
tee investigator, said many of
the names used by Mr.. Abrams
in his second bond account were
fictitious. In other instances,
Mr. Bellino added, the persons
whose names were used by Mr..
Abrams denied ever buying the
securities.
Mr.. Berger testified he had
done business with both Mr..
Abrams and Samuel and Herman
Kravltz when he was unable to
do business with the Army 9TH
erWiSe.
He said that in 1852 his firm,
the William l. Nathan Co., bid
on a contract to make $4,000
Army trench coats but got an
award to make only 10000. He
said he could not reduce pro-
duction to the smaller number
profitably so he gave a subcon-
tract to the Kravitz firm, with
them getting 30 cents per coat.

Truman's conflict with Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. This has
been well publicized since Mr..

MacArthur's rejoinder appeared
together in Life Magazine. Their
accounts are so much at vari-
ance that only an objective ap-

straight.

He refuses even now to consider

Nor is there any mention of two

This blind defense of his ad-
