from some endowments, Red Fea-
ther funds, Levy Court Of New

a clear picture of the needs for
further funds, particularly from
the two lower counties without
any agency and where contribu-
tions have not equaled the expen-
ditures for the children of these
counties.

jected, and the Senate turned
to the scheduled business of the
day, the foreign aid bill.
Earlier, faint prospects of ac-
ton to prevent it from going to
the committee or to pry it out
later for Senate floor considera-
ton before adjournment had
all but vanished.
AS soon as the easure
reached the Senate with the
help of a 279-126 vote by the
House yesterday it was dis
patched to the committee headed
by Senator Eastland of MisSis-
sippi. None of its supporters was
on hand with an objection be-
fore Senator Hill. Democrat of
Alabama, presiding over the
Senate at the time, referred it
to committee.
The Senate, by recessng in
stead of adjourning its daily
meetings between now and final
adjournment, would provide no
new legislative day opportunity
for introduction OF adoption of
discharge motion on the civil
rights bill without unanimous
consent.
A still bigger obstacle would
confront the bill if it were
brought to the Senate floor.
Southern Senators have made
clear they would launch fill
buster to cause indefinite delay
in adjourning.

II saw him raise it to his lips

Mr.. Berman sprang to his feet
and won a ruling to have the
testimony on presuming the
sergeant took a drink stricken
from the record. He brought
out subsequently the witness had
not observed even the sergeant's
Adams apple jogging at the time.
Young Mcpherson said Sergt.
McKeon asked him if he had

and we may as we'll face it
here and noW-that this means
no business can be transacted
without unanimous consent"
Senator Johnson took sharp
exception to this view. He de-
clared that bills already on the
calendar or, regularly reported
out by committees would be in
order from day to day. The rul-
ing of Senator George, he ex-
planned. meant that mo new
material could be introduced
without unanimous consent.
Senator Douglas inquire d
whether the Democratic leader
intended to permit a morning
hour" today, and also whether
the Senate would recess or ad-
Ijourn at the end of today'S pro-
ceedings. Senator johnson re-
piled that there would be no
morning hour" today, and that
he would move to recess when
the Senate finished work late
today or tonight.
1t was at this point that Sena-
tor johnson delivered his warn
ing that any persistent or sue
cesSful attempt to bring up the
civil rights bill would greatly
delay if not prevent action on
most of the major measures
scheduled for action before adj
journment. He particularly men,

Lehman Complains
Senator Lehman, while COM
planning that supporters of the

an opportunity to let the Senate
vote on it, nevertheless assured
Senator johnson that II have the
greatest respect for my leader in

Then Ihope the distinguished
Senator from New York will
follow me-" Senator johnson
retorted.
Senator HenningS told the
Senate that he had no wish to
obstruct necessary business or
delay adjournment, although I'VE
are under no absolute compul-
sion to be out of here Saturday
night" He declared that he
pressed for action on a discharge
motion solely because lit is a
matter of getting the bill out
of the Judiciary Committee by
the only means in our power"
II think my friend from Mis-
souri, knows it would just bring
all legislation to a halt" Sena-
tor johnson said.

In still another last-ditch
move, Senators Douglas and

sent to introduce a Senate reso-
luton that the Judiciary Com
