Wagner Vows Fight
On Racket Unions

NEW YORK. Aug. 8 R.--
Mayor Robert F. Wagner has
promised to combat the alleged
exploitation Of Puerto Rican
and Negro labor in New York
City by racket-labor unions.
He said he will set up a COM
plant bureau in the city's De-
partment of Labor to channel
complaints from employers and
workers to the appropriate en-
forcement arm.
The Mayor held a two-hour
meeting at City Hall with IS
representatives Of labor, bust
ness. law enforcement agencies
and city department. He urged
anyone who has been exploited
to contact the city's labor or
investigation department.
Morris Iuschevitz, secretary
Of the city CLIO council, said his

hands have been tied" He said
a problem of jurisdiction has
held up Investigations. but that

Nixon and KnowIond
Given Boost for 1860

and years that lie ahead, his
name will be inscribed in the
minds and hearts of our people,
and in the history of our coun-
try, as a Senator without peer
through our entire history"
In what sounded at times
like a convention nominating
speech. Senator Goldwater, Re-
publican Of Arizona, praised
Senator Knowland's high
courage and leadership" He
said Senator Knowland's serv-
ices in World War II and "as
a statesman stamp him as one
of the country's outstanding
men,"
Senator Case, Republican of
New Jersey. said he agreed
with Senator Goldwater's re-
marks about Senator Know
land.
He showed courage and
high leadership" he said.
Senator Case also praised
Vice President Nixon for his
part in the civil rights fight.
Taking UP that cue, Senators
Javits. Republican of New
York; Dirksen. Republican of
Illinois, and Potter, Republican
of Michigan. heaped praise on
both Senator Knowland and
Mr.. Nixon.

of California, said Senator

rights legislation. asking Sen.
ators to vote for it.
Among the signers Of the
statement were Walter p.
Reuther. president of the
United Automobile Workers,
and Roy wilkins, executive
secretary of the NAACP.
The statement called the
Senate version "a bitter dis
appointment" but said it con-
tains some potential good, "
and urged Senators to vote for
it in the hope a way will be
found to strengthen it in the
House.
Reports Of a possible special
fall session if the issue is not
settled now started on the Sem
ate side. Republicans said
Minority Leader Knowland
mentioned the possibility at a
recent G. o. p. Policy Com
mittee meeting. But Senator
Knowland told a reporter last
night it is too early to say"
whether a special session will
be necessary.
Conference ExDected
Republican leaders of the
House, and most of the South
ern Democrats in that body
are expected to favor sending
the bill to conference. The
Democratic leaders. with some
Southern support. are believed
to be trying for an agreement
that will enable the House to
accept the Senate bill.
One possibility is that the
bill will be sent to conference
with an informal understand
ing that the conferees would
limit their action to modifying
the jury trial amendment, and
bring back a prompt report.
Whether such an arrangement
can be made is largely in the
hands Of the Repu blica n
leaders.
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York, who would
head the House conferees,
said he thinks the two houses
could agree on a compromise
limiting the jury trial amend
ment to voting rights.
Senator Knowland indicated
he would go along with that,
but did not know whether
President Eisenhower would
be satisfied with only that one
change.

ers doubt. however. that the
President would veto such a

BY JACK BELL
Associated Press stan Writer

Vice President Nixon and
Senator Knowland. Republican
Of California. got a boost from
some Republican colleagues
yesterday for any ambitions
they may have for the 1860
Republican presidential NOM
nation.
Senator Knowland, the Sen
ate Republican leader, and Mr..
Nixon received warm G. o. p.
praise for their activities in
connection with Senate passage
Of the civil rights bill.
Senator Curtis. Republican
Of Nebraska. started of an
obviously planned series Of
testimonials for Senator Know
land. He described Senator
Knowland as an liable, dis
tinguished, devoted and patri-
otto leader of a group
devoted to civil rights. -.
"Other great leaders have
served in this body in the past.
but never before has been &C.
complished what we have
done this year." Senator Curtis
said enthusiastically.
In an apparent allusion to
Senator Knowland's reputed
presidential ambitions. Senator
Curtis added:

smiles upon our distinguished
minority leader in the months

bill. There is a widely held
belief that If a Republican
President vetoed the first civil
rights bill to pass Congress
since the Reconstruction era,
the Democrats would reap the
most political advantage from
the issue in the 1858 and 1860
elections.
On the other hand, these OBJ
servers argue that if the bill
becomes law the Republicans
could tell the voters they tried
to get a stronger bill, but took
what was possible at this time.
Senator Russell, Democrat Of
Georgia. who led the Southern
opponents of the bill. said he
would be delighted" if the
President vetoes it, but added
that he does not expect this
to happen.

crat of Oregon. and II South
ern Democrats voted mo-"
Senator Morse said he could
not bring himself to vote for a
bill which he said bears little
more than the title" of civil
rights.
To make the day a more his
toric one. five Southerners voted
for the bill. They were Sen
ators johnson and Yarborough
Of Texas, Kefauver and Gore
Of Tennessee and Smathers OF
Florida.
1t was the leadership Of Sen
ator johnson which steered the
bill through the Senate with
out a fllibuster after about q
month of pertinent debate.
In addition to use OF the
