Just before the hearing ended

from the Associated Press, United

Service, which responded to q
subcommittee question.
APP and ms told the subcom-

believe USIA competed with

down for it."

Erwin, Johnston
Rap Rights Bill
BY the Associated Press

A minority report by Senators
Erwin, Democrat of North Caro-
lima. and Olin D. Johnston,
Democrat of South Carolina,
have denounced the admins
tration's civil rights bill as lin
defensible" and as comforting
"autocratic and depostic" powers
on the Attorney General.
The report was filed by the
two Southern Senators as men,
bers of a Senate Judiciary SUBJ
committee which approved the
measure last March 10 by a Az
vote. The full committee has
yet to act. A similar bill is be-
fore the House Rules Com
mittee.
Senators Erwin and Johnston
aimed their attack mainly at
provisions empowering the Fed
eral Government to seek injunc-
tions against violations of voting
or other civil rights.
They and other Southern OPP
ponents claim a Federal judge
under those provisions could is
sue an injunction and jail a
person for contempt without a
jury trial. Proponents argue
Southern juries have shown an
unwillingnesS to convict in civil
rights cases. hence reliance on
the injunctive process is nee
esSary.
The two Senators said the
bill is deliberately designed" to
rob citizens of a basic consti-
tutional right. They added it
would give the Attorney General
"a legal club by which he can
browbeat State and local ofii-
Gals into submission to his
will"
They argued further the meas
ure is based on the strange
thesis that the best way to pro-
mote civil rights of some Ameri-
cans is to rob other Americans
Of civil rights equally as precious
and to reduce the supposedly
sovereign States to meaningless
zeros on the Nations map"
They said the bill Is "delib-
erately designed to confer upon
the Attorney General autocratic
and despotic powers which may
befit the office Of commisar Of
justice in a totalitarian country,
but which are incompatible with
the office Of chief law officer of
a republic having a govern
ment Of laws rather than q
government Of men,"

Secrecy Barred
On Satellites
BY RENNIE TAYLOR
Associated Press Science Reporter

SAN FRANCISCO, May IL
There will be no secret launching
of artificial satellites by the
United States, and this country
expects Russia to hold to a
similar open policy in the inter-
national scientific undertaking,
an American spokesman said
last night.
I'VE will not launch a satellite
until the plans have been an
nounced in advance and until
the other nations cooperating
in the international Geophysical
Year have been officially noti-
fied." DR.. Joseph Kaplan told
newsmen. He heads the United
States committee for the ICY.
There have been rumors that
satellites already may have been
shot into the air, that Russia
may Jump the gun" and launch
one or more ahead OF the ICY
schedule. and that private in
terests have been toying with the
idea Of trying to get one into
the skies independently. None
OF these has yielded any substan-
tial fact.
However, Navy scientists, who
VIII have official charge of the
United States launchings, have
said test firings of the three.
stage rockets designed to carry
the satellite would be made
within six months.
The ICY program, in which
So nations are participating, gets
under way July ] and will last
through 1858. The only time
given so far for the American
launchings is that they will take
place some time after July l.
The Russians have carried out
their ICY commitments to the
letter and have even intensified
their cooperative efforts, DR..
Kaplan said.
This is strictly a scientific
project and We want all the other
nations to know in advance of
the firing schedule" DR.. Kaplan
said, because we want to share
in the information they may
receive from the satellites and
we expect to share what we
learn with the Others"

Drive Pushed

The soaring traf1ic in illegal
liquor in the South has caused
an intense effort by the Internal
Revenue Services alcohol tax
unit to halt moonshining
through the sugar wholesalers.
Dwight Avis. head Of the unit,
said at q press conference yes
terday that Internal Revenue is
appealing to sugar wholesalers
to refuse to do business with sus.
pected moonshiners.
Mr.. Avis said: I'VE can't force
them to stop. but we can issue a
demand letter which requires .
daily report on wholesale sugar
sales and the names Of the GUS
toners. Then II they file false
reports we can act against
them"
Mr.. Avis said wholesalers know
when they are selling to moon
sinners because it takes 50 much
sugar-l0 pounds to a gallon
OF liquor-to make moonshine.
He said moonshiners have been
driving up to wholesalers in
broad daylight and driving away
with sugar. which he said is the
moonshiners' life blood. Last
year. he said. one wholesaler
sold IL million pounds Of sugar
to moonshiners.
The untaxed liquor is so popu-
lar because it is cheap. he said.
But Mr.. Avis warned that the
quality is on the downgrade.
Some Of it smells so bad and
tastes so bad 1t can knock your
head or" he said.
He said a lack Of agents ham
pers his work. He has $50
"revenuers" now. compared with
1900 before World War II and
2.400 during prohibition. I'm
taxed liquor operators sales are
threatening to reach pre-World
War II highs. he said.

mittee's inquiry undoubtedly

He said the group will not at
tempt to settle the argument
over whether nuclear tests
should be halted.
Aim 1t Gathering Data
But he said the hearings are
aimed at gathering data which
may serve as the basis of a fu-
ture discussion Of that subject
by the Senate-House Atomic En-
ergy Committee.
The subcommittee, he added
may recommend further re-
search in an effort to help clear
up disagreements about the rela.
tive dangers Of bomb tests.
Meanwhile, Acc Chairman
Lewis l.. Strauss denied cate
gorically that citizens of Nevada,
Utah or other States could suf-
fer the slightest i'll effects from
radiation produced by nuclear
weapons testing.
The denial was directed at ar
article in the Reporter magazine

H-bomb tests. and at recent

Germans Ask
Suspension Of
Nuc|ear Tests

BONN. Germany, May II (R3.
West Germany's lower house
has called on the nations possess
ing atomic weapons to suspend
nuclear arms tests for a limited
time" as a pledge of their In
tent to achieve "a general con.
trolled disarmament" u
The resolution. presented last
night by Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's Christian Democrats.
marked one of the few times the
West German leader has differed
with President Eisenhower on q
major international issue. Mr..
Eisenhower has contended the
tests must go on as long IS
Russia refuses to agree to in
ternational inspection. %
Shares View on Control y
Mr.. Adenauer told the depu-
ties he still shared the American
view that the prime way to
achieve peace was through gen.
eral controlled disarmament.
His proposal declared that the
United States. Britain and Rus
STA should suspend the tests to
demonstrate their will to achieve
a general controlled disarma-
ment." 1t gave no time limit
for the suspension.
The opposition Socialists OPP
posed the measure on grounds
it was not strong enough. The
Socialists tried unsuccessfully to
get through a resolution saying
all nuclear arms tests should be
stopped Immediately.
Socialist Measure Loses
The Socialist measure was de-
feated. 223-134. 1t was linked
with another proposal that the
government promise not to equip
the new West German Army
with atomic weapons.
The house also knocked down
a Socialist motion that would
have required the government
to ban equipping of West Ger
man armed forces with atomic
weapons and prohibit stocking
of such weapons on German soil
by the United States and other
Western allies. 49,
Defense Minister Franz Josef
Strauss said the West would risk
Soviet aggression if Germany
denied the allies the right to arm
with weapons as powerful rs
those used by the Russians.
