A draftee, bucking the top
echelons of the Pentagon, has
made progress toward convinc-
ing Senators 1t would be a mis-
take to exempt slow-witted
youths from Selective Service.
John Graham. 20. an Army
private first-class whose own
10. is obviously all right, told
the Senate Armed Services
Committee yesterday that the
proposed exemptions would
carry a certain social stigma.
He said Congress must con-

dividuals involved" Their lives
would be damaged. he said, II
1t became known they had been
rejected as too ignorant or too
irresponsible.
He commended that in peace
time the military services have
an obligation to help educate
men to become useful citizens
and soldiers.
IF they are not ut to de-
fend their country. are they fit
to live in it?" he asked.
Defense Department leaders
are plugging for a bill permit
ting them to set higher mental
standards for servicemen. They
said the Army is wasting mil
lions trying to train inductees
who cannot learn to operate
modern weapons.
Pfc. Graham, who appeared
at his own request, said he was
practicing law with a New York
firm when he was drafted
about a year ago. He is now
stationed at Fort Myer, Va.
| The soldier said the Army's
handling Of manpower has
flaws. but he has no complaint
about his personal lot. He said
he has been assigned to help
provide free legal advice" and
he's happy on the job.
Senators praised him for his
presentation. Chairman Rus
sell, Democrat Of Georgia, ex-
pressed grave misgivings about
the proposed change in mental
standards.

Speaker Rayburn told report
ers yesterday he believes that.
in some fashion. the Rules
Committee will meet. Acting
Democratic floor leader Albert
Of Oklahoma also announced
that civil rights has been sched-
uled for House action Wednes-
day If it is out Of committee.
But Mr.. Smith, reached at his
farm near Warrenton, Va, to-
day, repeated his contention
that the committee is divided
and that he sees no point in
meeting under those conditions.
Asked If he would call a meet
ing If he found out a majority
Of the committee was in agree
ment, he replied. Il don't
promise I would" He added
that he had not made any
promises that he would or
would not call the committee.
Has Received No Petition
Mr.. Smith said also that
other committee members have
not handed him the petition
signed by at least three men,
bers, which is the first step
necessary to force a meeting.
Nevertheless, the belief per-
sisted that House leaders would
not be listing the bill as part
Of next weeks program unless
they had some assurances it
can be pried out Of the COM
mittee Monday or Tuesday.
House Republican leaders
are still publicly fighting for a
stronger civil rights bill, but
all indications are they will 60
along with the Democratic
proposal. If they have to.
Republicans will try, both in
the Rules Committee and on
the floor, to offer strong sub
stitutes for the Celler resolu-
ton.
Regardless Of what the Rules
Committee recommends, the
issue will be settled by a test

Col. Husseiny and ex-Dicta-
tor Col. Adih Shishekly were
accused of collaborating with
Mr.. Stone and other Americans
in the plot.
Col. Husseiny said, II have
been out of Syria for four
years, except for a one-month
vacation there. And after four
years some friends may become
enemies"
Given No Details
He said he had been given
no official details of the accusa-
lions against him, and. as far
as he knew. had not been
stricken of the diplomatic list
or the roll of Syrian officers.
II have decided to return

justice"
Col. Husseiny. who was his
country's military attache in
Washington in 1854, has held
his post in Rome for three
years.
He repeated that he was
not and could not have been
in Damascus last Sunday. A
Syrian statement said that on
that day he and other con-
spirators met in Damascus.
The colonel returned on July
20 from his mennonite Syrian
vacation. His passport shows
no further trips out of Italy.

Hoffa had worked out what he
termed a mutual assistance pact
in 1855 between the lila and the
Transfers Union after the
American Federation Of Labor
had expelled lila as racket
ridden.
But George Meany. then AL
president, blocked the deal. Mr.
Meany now is president Of the
AFL-CIO.
Quizzed About HOffa
Mr.. Hickey replied to a long
string Of committee questions
dealing with alleged activities
OF Hoffa in New York.
He said that in 1858, Hoffa
tried TO persuade Beck to give
Dio a charter to organize the
taxi drivers in New York City.
Mr.. Dio seemed to impress
Mr.. Hoffa no end" he said.
II opposed Dio and Hoffa
bitterly. l was opposed to is
suing a charter to anybody of
Ill repute."
Mr.. Hickey said he was sur
prised when he heard in 1854
that racketeer locals were try
ing to get into the New York
Transfers Council. A little
later. Senator Mcclellan asked:
"You mean the idea of set
ting UP bogus locals originated
with Hoffa?"
Mr.. Hickey replied:
That is the way I found
things to be, not at that time
u95D but later on L UNI
derstand Mr.. Hoffa okayed
those charters"
Mr.. Hickey said that for a
long time "the situation was
very unfriendly" between Hoffa
and himself. and that it still is.
There was no immediate
comment in teamsters circles
on Mr.. Hickey's announcement
that he is a candidate for pres
ident Of the union. At Seattle,
a spokesman said Beck was
not available for comment.
The committee hearings are
in recess until Monday.

amendments on the floor.
To accomplish this they will

tion," customarily offered to

the way would be open to offer
one or more Republican sub
Stitutes.
Further Restrictive
These substitutes are ex-
pected to further restrict the
right Of trial by jury in GRIM
inal contempt cases and to
permit use Of Federal injunc-
tons to promote racial integra-
ton or other civil rights, when
State officials ask for Federal
action. The Senate bill has
narrowed the use Of Federal in
functions to voting rights only.
Even If they fail to beat the
previous question" the Re-
publicans will regard that roll
call as having established their
voting record for in favor Of a
stronger bill.
Indications are that, failing
to put their own plan over,
enough Republicans will vote
for the Celler resolution to
pass it. The bill would then 60
back to the Senate for ac-
ceptance of the one change,
limiting jury trials to voting
right cases. That would eliml-
nate Senate language which
would require jury trials in
criminal contempt cases grow
ing out Of the enforcement of
more than 80 other Federal
laws.
The Senate is expected to
accept this House amendment,
and that would send to the
White House the first civil
rights bill to pass Congress in
more than 80 years.
With this issue out Of the
way. both Houses will concen-
trate on completing passage of
the foreign aiG appropriation
and a variety Of other must"
bills.
