Civil Rights Bill
|Tugof War Due
In Senate Unit
BY ROBERT T. WALSH

Advocates and opponents of a
Federal civil rights bill braceo
today for tug Of war on whether
to bring it up for prompt action
by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
A judiciary subcommittee
finally approved a measure by a
AZ vote late yesterday after pub
lie hearings last month and ad-
ditional weeks of difficulty in
for a decision.
How soon the full committee
will take up the bill depends
to a considerable extent on
Chairman Eastland, Democrat of
Mississippi. a determined oppo-
nent of such legislation. Demo-
cratic Senators Erwin of North
Carolina and Johnston of South
Carolina, who served on the SUBJ
committee. indicated they would
demand further public hearings
by the full committee. They also
intend to press for adoption of
numerous amendments.
Exercise In FutiIity'
Subcommittee Chairman Hen
nings. Democrat of Missouri, told
he would oppose further
open hearings because they would
be only an exercise in futility. f"
He served notice that if undue
delay develops in committee con-
sideration of the bill he will seek
a showdown vote to have Chair
man Eastland take it up.
AS reported out by the Hen
nings subcommittee, the bill is
closer to Eisenhower administra-

ton proposals than to an
amended bill reported out last
Monday by the House judiciary
Committee. The House bill now
is before the House Rules Com
mittee awaiting clearance for
floor debate. Rules Committee
Chairman Smith, Democrat of
Virginia, has not disclosed how
soon the bill might be considered
for such clearance.
Would Create Commission
The Senate bill would create
a civil rights commission to in
vestigate complaints of threat
ened or actual violation of civil
rights, establish a new civil
rights division in the Justice
Department. empower the At
torney General to institute Fed
eral court proceedings, such as
injunction suits to prevent dep
rivation of voting and other civil
rights, and to allow persons to
take UGH complaints directly
into Federal courts without ex-
hausting all State court remedies.
Backers of the bill beat down
several amendment attempts by
Senators Erwin and Johnston
yesterday at the subcommittee
session. Those proposed changes
would have knocked out the pro-
vision for commission, denied
Federal court jurisdiction until
all States rights and remedies
were exhausted" and required
jury trials not only on citations
for contempt of court in injunc-
ton orders but also on the merits
of such injunction requests

unless military force levels were
reduced.
Mr.. Wilson confirmed that he
had set an April ! deadline for
the services to submit reports
on the cuts.
In answer to other questions
Mr.. Wilson said:
/. Neither the Army Ballistics
Missile Agency nor Mai. Gen
Bruce Medaris at Redstone Ar
senal in Alabama had ever de-
MED access to its information to
properly authorized representa-
tives of the Air Force. This was
in answer to reports that the Air
Force. given authority to develop
an intermediate range (l,50O
niles missile, had been refused
information by the Army ON its
progress in that field.
Refuses Comment
2. Refused comment on re-
ports that Air Force Secretary
Quarles will succeed his deputy
Reuben B. Robertson, jr., on
April is on grounds that presi-
dental appointments we're in
volved. He said that Mr.. Robert
son had agreed to stay at the
Pentagon for two years and that
his time limit was approach
ing
3. Said that the argument be-
tween the Army and Air Force
over missiles made it appear to
him that the two services ex-
pected to fight" each other.
4. Refused to comment on
whether he would soon resign
or whether Gen. Nathan F
Twining. Air Force Chief OF
Staff. would succeed Admiral
Arthur w. Radford as chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in
August.
S. Replied that he knew of no
plan TO establish a new COM
bined command to implement
the new Mideast policy nor OF
any plans to send Marines to
the Suez Canal area.
6. Said he did not yet know
how or when the 5000 million,
authorized by the Mideast reso-
luton, will be spent.

area, as we'll as a 1859 slash in
military jobs. He said it would
save $50 million a year.
Defense officials said there
probably will be some relatively
few reductions-in -force.resulting
from the Wilson directive, but
that the large bulk of the cuts
would be achieved by the pain
less" method of attrition.
Some job "bumpings,' such as
transfers to other positions and
a few salary cuts. also are ex-
pected to result from the Wilson
order.
Mr.. Wilson ordered the reduc-
ltions achieved by July /. 1858.
The Defense agencies were or
dered to make the reductions at
a rate of l per cent a month
starting next July /.
The IL per cent cut applies
only to departmental headquar-
tiers civilian jobs and not to
field" establishments in the
area, such as the Naval Gun
Factory. Andrews and Boiling
Air Force Bases. ETC., officials
said. Also excluded are employees
/ in such military units as the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the North
Atlantic Treaty Offices and the
Court of Military Appeals.
Consequently, the overall cut
in the $4,000 civilian jobs in the
Defense agencies here will
amount to about 5la per cent of
total civilian personnel.
Here are the way the civilian
cuts will apply; Office of the
Secretary of Defense. 172; Army
I1.718; Navy Including Marine
Corps, 2.l66, and Air Force. $50
Thee military reductions will be
as follows: Secretary's Office, 48;
Army. 46l; Navy, 756; Air Force,
434.
Defense officials said the rea-
son they felt that the bulk of the
reductions can be achieved by at
triton is that the agencies will
have nearly l6 months to put
them into effect. The reductions
have to be made from the en-
ployment as of December 81.
1856.
Some units already have made
cuts and others can start now
in planning for gradual reduc-
ton in civilian and military per-
sonnet. they said. All employment
cuts made between last January
and July /, 1857, when the formal
are scheduled to be-
gin will be credited to an agency
the officials said. Once an agency
achieves the IL per cent cut of
Its departmental personnel, it
will have achieved its quota.
Mr.. Wilson's order also is ex-
pected to have the effect of slow
ing down the filling Of JOB va
cancies. although absolutely es-
sential job vacancies will still be
filled.

Accordingly, the Air Force

they will curtail spending of OPP
erationS and maintenance funds

tinued. If some curtailment of

commands are authorized to
take this step"
An official said that flying pay
-four hours a month--would
not be affected. However, the
length of time each month
around eight hours-might be
cut back in order to save opera
ton funds.
The Air Force was given 1913
billion this year for such opera
tions, % per cent of its total
budget.
II the flying rate was con-
tinued as at present. it is esti-
mated that the fund would be
overspent by approximately $50
million.
The House Appropriations
Committee has asked the Pen
tagon to furnish it with details
on how it could save S3.5 billion
in the S38 billion budget Presi-
dent Eisenhower proposed for
the fiscal year beginning July /.
The Army was asked to slash
81 billion from its SCI billion
program; the Navy 81 billion
from s104 billion and the Air
Force Sis billion from SITS

Mr.. Wilson said that. for the
remainder of this fiscal year and
in 1858, vacancies will be filled
only when it is determined that
the Job cannot be accomplished
or consolidated with another po-
Sition or that the job cannot be
efficiently filled by transfer.
The Secretary said the civilian
job reductions should be spread
among jobs of all grades.
1T is intended that personnel
reductions be effected as evenly
as practical, in proportion to the
existing grade distribution pat
