Talk to almost any South
ern Senator these days and you
talk to fairly. happy warrior.
There he is in the Senate,
where he has always felt at
home, surrounded by absolutely
like-minded brethren, fighting
with his back to the wall what
he is convinced is the good fight
against the Civil Rights bill.
On the Senate floor he is
talking with a cordially and
germaneness hitherto consid-
cred impossible on this subject.
Behind the scenes he is sweet
talking other Senators into his
way of thinking.
In the Southern camp, there
is harmony. unity and occupa-
tional therapy. Every one has
his work to do.
At the time the Southerners--
their hard-core strength is 10
decided not TO oppose taking
up the bill, they also decided to
air their intellectual and legal
grievances against it during
that debate.
Assigned Commanders"
In that same strategy meet
ing, they broke up the bill into
sections, assigning each Of their
finest legal minds to a section.
They chose Senator Russell,
whom Senators find it difficult
not to respect. as their supreme
commander, and Senator Erwin.
whom Senator's find it difficult
to dislike, as their rowing field
marshal.
They also took the unusual
step of dividing up the other
Senators. Each Southerner be-
came missionary with two or
three inf1dels assigned to his
special care. They did not
bother with those who we're
committed to passage Of the
House bill. The harvest Of con-
vertS reached high point in
last Wednesdays vote on strik-
ing Section III, when IL spon-
sors Of the original bill voted
with the South.
The problem of the other
side has been that they have
been reacting rather than act
ing Now with the jury-trial
amendment about to come to
vote. they have hastily adopted
the missionary system. Last
Friday. Vice President Nixon,
Senator Knowland, Senator
Case Of New Jersey. and Sem
ator Dirksen each was given
a list of Republicans whom
they would try to make see the
light on this particular issue
The White House has promised
TO put in a word where II
seemed indicated.
Against the Southerners is
ranged a coalition of Northern
liberals and Republicans. who
find themselves marching un-
der the newly unfurled banner
of Senator Knowland in some
what uneasy formation.
one Southerner sardonically
called it "a credit-claiming al
lance: another. a French
marriage OF convenience. with
every piece of property written
carefully into the contract.
G. o. r. Label Seen
For Senators like Douglas of
Illinois and Humphrey of Min
nesota who feel they have borne
the heat Of the day in this par
ticular vineyard. il is plainly
not an easy thing to serve un-
der Senator Knowland, whom
they consider a Johnny-com
lately to the struggle. What
ever bill emerges will inevitably
carry a Republican label.
Their daily meetings are at
tended by a great crossing Of
is and dotting Of is that con-
Germ Southerners not at all.

SENATE WARRIOR-MISSIONARIES
South's Forces Wooe
Riqhts Battle Calmly

lie COuJHeTHeTS nave WORKED
together in almost wordless
ease. AS Senator Gore of Ten
nessee said in another context,
After a while. you don't need
to say anything to the other
fellow-you just kind of wiggle
your ears"
The pro-Civil Rights Demo-
Gratis are under the further dis
advantage of having to oppose
their Southern colleagues with
out permanently alternating
them. Moreover in Difference
to their Republican bedfellows,
they feel constrained not to at
tack President Eisenhower for
what they consider his shilly-
shallying on the bill.
The delicate ground they
walk was perfectly illuminated
the other day when Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon. lit
into the President on the Hells
Canyon Dam issue, then with
equal fire backed him up on
the jury-trial provisions of the
Civil Rights bill.
Reply by Republican
AS far as possible, the coali-
ton tries to have Republicans
answer the legal arguments of
the Southerns. Thus, when
Senator Russell makes a sharp
constitutional attack. he finds
himself opposed by a coalition
lawyer such as Senator Javits
of New York, or Senator Case
of New Jersey.
After every major Southern
legal effort, Senator Humphrey,
playing a "man-in-t he-street"
role. reduces it to everyday
terms.
Senator Douglas carries the
emotional burden of the argu-
ment for the liberal Democrats
and shares his great research
resources with his partisans.
No bitter personal attacks,
no outright ranting has yet
married the debate. Neither side
wants to throw the first stone
that would change this from a
cold war to a hot war.
Neutral Bloc Created
Exhorting them to continue

One Northern liberal said
that If a bill Quilted of its
toughest features gave the
Southerners any comfort. they
were welcome to IL.

a wonderful job" he said
They've put us on the defen-
sive. But their real enemy is

These are the times for great "buys" in the
floor covering market. Wholesale orders are
few and far between. Taking advantage of
this condition Penn Carpet City has plunged
heavily and purchased carloads of broadloom
at greatly reduced prices. Hence, we can offer
you tremendous buys on broadloom, such as

Accord on Textiles
Reported by Jopon

The Japanese Embassy said
today an understanding has been
reached with the United States
on Japan's voluntary limitation
of cotton textile exports to this
country in 1857 and for several
years thereafter.
A formal announcement is
scheduled to be made at 4 pm.
today.
The last phase Of the discus
sions came this morning when
Japanese Minister Shigenobu
Shima delivered a note from the
Japanese foreign Office to the
State Department on behalf of
Ambassador Masayuki TAM.
Mr.. Shima represented Japan
in the talks with Presidential AS
sistant Sherman Adams, AS
sistant Secretary of Commerce,
Harold c. Mcclellan and Deputy
Undersecretary Of State Thors-
ten j. Kalijarvi.
BY taking voluntary action to
restrict the flow Of textile ex-
ports to the United States it is
the hope of japanese officials and
exile manufacturers to over
come objections of the American
textile industry and head of ac-
ton by Congress to impose rigid
import quotas on textiles.

Hungarian Relief

Gen Alfred M. Gruenther,
president of the American Red

500 check for Hungarian relief
from the officers and men of the
aircraft carrier Coral Sea.
Vice Admiral j. L. Holloway,
chief of naval personnel, and
Mrs. Joseph A. Jap, wife of the
ships captain, presented the
check at Red Cross National
headquarters.
The total contribution for
Hungarian relief now exceeds

PiecemeoI Disarmament
PeriIous, FinIetter Says

Thomas K. Finletter, former
Secretary of the Air Force. adj
vised Congress today that a
piecemeal, partial disarmament
policy would be dangerous to
the United States and would
offer no assurance of world
peace.
In testimony challenging some
phases of proposals made to the
United Nations this week by
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
Mr.. Finletter emphasized to a
Senate subcommittee studying
disarmament problems that this
country should strive for a
total" plan. He also urged a
simultaneous drive to remove the
causes of war and international
tensions.
Mr.. Finletter, also a former
State Department official in the
Roosevelt and Truman admins
trations, insisted that until fool
proof international agreements
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-16

there should be a great de-
bate" on the matter in Congress.
Discussing the United States
proposals to the U. NJ, Mr.. Fin
letter said he was disturbed by
the suggestion that all future
production of fashionable ma
terial should be used exclusively
for non-weapon purposes and
that existing stockpiles should
be reduced.

where the reduction works to
their advantage. We in turn are
compelled to do the same thing"
AS for the prospects for evolv-
ing a total disarmament plan
and putting 1t into international
effect, even on a step-by-step
basis. Mr.. Finletter conceded to
the subcommittee that the task
would be difficult. He declared
that this country nevertheless
has a duty not only to help work
out such a plan, but also to press
for its adoption under control
of the United Nations.
He suggested that in any event

Senator Mcclellan called first
as witnesses number of Federal
officials for questioning about the
possible need for more stringent
laws to control racketeering.
Both the chairman and Sub
committee Counsel Robert F..
Kennedy said the hearing may
be opened to the public tomor-

Chairman Boyd Leedom of the
National Labor Relations Board
was the first witness called.
Waiting to testify later were
Secretary Of Labor Mitchell and

Mr.. Kennedy said nine labor

Mr.. Bassett is counsel for
Frank w. Brewster, vice presi-
dent of the big Transfers Union
and chairman of the Western
Conference of Transfers, and
for Nugent LaPoma, secretary
treasurer of the big Teamsters

Mr.. Bassett said Mr.. Brewster
and Mr.. LaPoma would refuse to
furnish Senator McClellan's COM
mittee with union financial rec
ordS which it has been trying to
get. Senator Mcclellan issued a
subpoena for the documents in
Seattle but the union refused to
turn them over.
Legality Challenged
Mr.. Bassett said, 1--WE are
challenging the authority Of the
committee to make this par
ticular investigation. It doesn't
have the legal authority. either
by way of statute or senatorial
resolution.
When a properly constituted
body has been set up by the
Senate, we will be perfectly
willing to give them all the in
formation or evidence they
want"
The counsel added that he
and his two union clients had
not brought any of the financial
. records which the Mcclellan
subcommittee subpoenaed.
Senator Mcclellan issued
