On RightsAction
BY the Associated Press

4 senate leaders were reported
today to believe that civil rights
legislation will be passed at this
session of Congress even though
they expect a Southern filibuster
An influential Senate Demo-
crat, unwilling to be quoted by
name. said the chances are that
program along the lines ad-
vocated by President Eisenhower
will be approved probably
earlier than later"
Mr.. Eisenhower's program
calls for court action to protect
voting and other rights. the es-
tablishment of civil rights d.
vision in the Justice Depart
ment, and a presidential COM
mission to investigate civil rights
Legislation to carry it out has
been introduced in both the
Senate and the House.
Force Action
Southern Democrats have
been able to block civil rights
measures in the past, but there
appears to be more determined
effort by both Republicans and
Northern Democrats to force &c
ton at this session of Congress
The Democratic source, who is
not known as an advocate OF
such measures said that the
point apparently has been
reached where public sentiment
for civil rights legislation is toe
strong to be registered.
He expressed the view that
while a filibuster or prolonged
debate by Southern opponents is
inevitable. it will be broken after
month or so. even without any
change in present Senate rules
He predicted also that after
passage of the civil rights legis-
latlon, the Senate will modify its
rules to make it easier to shut
off debate.
Under existing rules, it takes
the votes Of 81 Senators, or two
thirds of the entire membership
to cut a f1libuster.

Oppose Change
Senator johnson said he hac
decided to join Senator Know
land as a co-sponsor because the
resolution appealed to him "aS
being based upon the middle
ground, which is the strongest
to stand upon"
Southern Senators have op-
posed any change in the existing
rule, while some Northern DEM
ocrats and Republicans have
urged that a Senate majority
or 40 Senators, be able to choke
off a filibuster.
Sixteen Senators, all Republic
cans except Senator Johnson
were listed as original sponsors

apparently q universally &C
Icepted one. It Is hoped that by
keeping all the Pierres more or
less cold and more or less on
foot the French economy can
be saved from disaster.
So far it has worked.
Two Problems Ahead
But the future holds more
serious and complex problems
which economists here believe
will be giving France trouble for
years to come. Two principal
linsoluble problems loom:
First. the oil Crisis is forcing
France to spend much more on
imports than she can earn
Through exports. This sort of
thing can continue only so long,
then France will have no money
Ito buy things from abroad. Some
way must be found to halt this
drain on the nations money re-
serves.
Second, Frances economy
was just climbing out Of the
post World War II economic
lmorasse, and the momentum of
the climb was expected to lead
the country to relatively pros
porous times. Now the climb has
been halted, and the economy
probably will begin to slip back
wards in the next few months.
It will take tremendous effort
to halt the decline and regain
the upward momentum.
A missing $4,000 tons Of oil a
day is making all that difference
to France. Ordinarily France
would expect to be using about
10000 tons a day in 1857. Until
the canal opens and the Middle
East pipelines are repaired
France will only be able to con-
sumo at an average rate OF
roughly $4,000 tons a day.
Could Make Many Jobless
If this deficit were spread
through the whole French eco
nomy it would bring many oil
dependent industries to a partial
standstill Several million
Frenchmen would be thrown out
of work, and repercussions from
these cutbacks would cripple the
national economy.
That's why the decision was
made to take almost all the mis-
sing $4,000 tons out of the nor
NAL driving and heating ration
of A million individual French
men Industry is saving about
10 per cent of its normal oil
ration, but this is mostly due to
more efficient methods adopted
when the crisis hit)
How we'll this has worked is
indicated by the fact that de-
partment store Christmas sales
we're up 10 per cent over last
year. The goods were there,
prices were right and the pub
llic had money.

is beinq kept on on even keel.

| take steps TO control SUCH con-
tracts so that the Governments
personnel won't be raided by
private contractors.
A House Civil Service Sub
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat oil
Georgia, last month pointed Out
that private contractors were
using Federal funds to deprive
the Government of critically
need engineers and scientists
and other professional employees
by paying them higher salaries
Mr.. Eisenhower is reported tc
have asked that Government
cost-plus contracts be so wordeo
to limit contractors from pay
ing salaries in excess of that
paid by the Government.
Federal officials. particularly
in the defense and scientific
agencies, have expressed con.
Germ about the difficult problem
of retaining and attracting key
Engineering and scientific per-
sonnet. Yet. the Davis Subcom-
mittee pointed out, the Govern
ment's own policies on cost-plus
contracts is making the situation
that much worse.
The Presidents concern over
the situation may have further
Significance for the entire Fed
eral service. Some administra-
ton officials say the White
House is apt to look askance
at another general Federal pay
raise if it feels that this would
result in contractors using Gov
eminent cost-plus funds to pay
even higher salaries in raidine
Federal personnel.
That's why tits vitality import.
ant to all Government personnel
as to what the defense and other
agencies win do to curb the
"pirating" Of key personnel by
private contractors.

AOW'S YOUR HORSEPOWER?

We Americans have an amaZ-
ing amount of mechanical pow
er at our command, to use at
work and at play. To take one.
obvious example, today's auto
mobiles pack huge amounts of
horsepower under their hoods
more, indeed, than many think
desirable.
But there is one area-and
a highly important area in
which tens Of millions Of peo-
pie just don't have enough pow
er for today's requirements. It
is called horsepower. That
word covers the adequacy or
inadequacy Of your electrical
wiring, outlets and switches.
The horsepower" problem is
a big one. It is estimated that
more than 100000 homes need
modernization of wiring. And
that figure is not just made up
Of older ones. A great many
homes of recent construction are
seriously short Of electrical ca
pacity.
There are certain definite
signs to tell you if you are one
of the millions who need more
horsepower. If fuses frequent
ly blow, or your electrical ap-
plianceS are slow to heat, or
lights flicker, or the picture on
the TV screen shrinks, you're
putting more load on your
homes electrical system than is
safe and proper.
The reason for the "houSe-
power" problem, Of course, is
that we Americans want more
and more labor-saving and other
electrical appliances. A deter
mined effort is now underway
to persuade the American home
owner to bring his "housepow-
er" up to par if it isn't there
now. We can make no better
investment - in comfort, con-
venience and safety.

POLICE, F|REMEN REGISTER
BICYCLES

Cooperation between the Po-
lice and Fire Departments has
made it possible for children to
register and license bicycles at
neighborhood fire stations rath-
er than having to ride them in
downtown traffic to get the
licenses at the Police Depart
ment in City Hall. Fireman at
nine stations have been in
structed in the licensing pro-
cedur to provide this added con-
venience to the public. The fee
for licensing a bicycle is so cents
which covers title, registration,
license plate, and having the
license number stamped on three
places on the bicycle. Licenses
are required for all bicycles of
children living in the City, and
also may be obtained by those
living outside. Police report that
80 per cent of the registered
bicycles which are stolen are
recovered and returned to their
rightful owners.
The nine fire StantionS where
bicycle licenses can be obtained
are: Station 2, 800 N. 9th ST.;
Station 8, 345 N. 18th Avenue;
Station 4, 1130 N. 1st Street;
