Stadium Bill
Approved, Sent
To President
Measure Authorizes
Feasibility Study
Only. House Says
BY ALEX r. PRESTON

A bill authorizing a Sc mil
lion, 50,000-seat stadium here
was approved by the House
today and sent to the Presi-
dent.
In adopting a conference
report. House members made
it clear that they regarded the
bill only as an authorization
for a $4,000 survey to deter
mine the feasibility Of the prof.
ect.
Members made it clear that
they expect the Stadium Com
mission to come back to Con-
greSs for approval if the survey
determines the project is eco
nomically feasible.
The House also passed and
sent to the White House a bill
establishing standards for de-
termining intoxication and au-
thorizing chemical tests of
blood and urine of persons ac-
cuSed Of driving while drunk
here.
Business Act Amended
Still q third District measure,
amending the Business Cor
poration Act, also was given
final approval.
While the bill approved today
is an out-and-out authorization
to proceed with construction
and financing. House members
emphasized that it is their in
tention that the bill was passed
purely for the purpose of
allowing the Housing and
Home Finance Agency to
make a $4,000 grant or loan
for a survey on the feasibility
of the project.
Both Representatives Gross.
Republican of Iowa, and Simp-
son, Republican of Illinois,
wanted to make sure that the
Stadium Commission would
come back to Congress before
proceeding with actual con-
struction.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee as
sured them this is the. intent
OF the committee.
"The bill needs a number of
amendments" he said, before
any construction proceeds. For
one thing. I don't think they
need $50 acres for the stadium,
but could get by with so acres.
Sehenck Stresses Point
Representative Schenck, Re-
publican of Ohio. said: II want
to make sure that this bill is
an authorization for the pre-
liminary study only and not
for the stadium"
THAT is the intent" Mr..
Mcmillan replied. "and it is
understood by all concerned"
The measure. as finally APP
proved, represented a compro-
mise. with the Senate yielding
on two points and the House
on one.

The House Rules Commit
tee today cleared the way for
final passage of the compromise
civil rights bill this week.
BY a vote of l0-to-2, the COM
mittee granted a special rule
under which the House VIZ
vote tomorrow to accept
Senate bill with two amend
ments which leaders of both
parties have agreed to. They
are:
/. Giving Federal judges dis
erection to try violators Of vot-
ing rights for criminal con-
tempt with or without a jury.
But if a judge proceeds with
out a jury and imposes a
penalty of more than $500 fine
or more than As days in Jail.
the defendant could demand a
new trial with a jury.
2. Removal of Senate Ian
guage which might have made
newspapers liable for punish
ment if they disclosed testi-
mony taken in secret session by
the PROPOSED Civil Rights Com
mission.
A majority of the Rules Com.
mittee resorted to a seldom
used practice procedure to force
today's meeting over the head
of Chairman Smith. Democrat
of Virginia, who refused to call
a meeting.
Only Chairman Smith and
Representative Colmer. Demo.
'crat of Mississippi. were re-
ported as having voted against
taking up the compromise bN.
Representative Madden Of
Indiana. top-ranking Democrat
in favor of the bill, will file the
report this afternoon, making it
in order tomorrow.
The rule permits only one
hour of debate. after which
Northern Democrats and Re-
publicans are expected to give
the bill a substantial majority.
The final chapter will then
be written in the Senate later
in the week. The Senate must
concur in the compromise
amendments and Southerners
have indicated they will not
filibuster to prevent action.

The House had approved only
$2.524. 100000 in new money

of the unobligated balances.
The final size Of the new
money appropriation will de-
pend on a Senate House COM

will insist on an eventual

johnson Sees President
The Senate committee COM
pleted its work on the House
bill early this afternoon, a few
hours after Senate Democratic
Leader johnson breakfasted
with President Eisenhower.
Senator johnson assured the
President that ne would support
"a Substantial increase" in the
House bill total. He explained
later to reporters that he
thought such an increase should
be about $500 million.
The SO billion overall total
in new money recommended by
the Senate committee still is
almost 5000 million less than
the ck-bottom request by the
President several weeks ago.
Committee Chairman Hay
den, Democrat Of Arizona. did
not identify the seven mem
bers who voted against the
increases. Previously. however,
four Democratic members from
Southern States said they
would fight to keep the new
money total at the House
figure. In the only other roll
call before the bill was APP

tot vote defeated a move by
Senator Ellender. Democrat of
Louisiana. to keep new money
Tor military assistance at
81 ESQ. 100000 as voted by the
House. The committee then
voted to increase that item to
l,475, 100000.
Other Increases Voted
Other increases voted by the
Senate committee affected only
new money rather than unobli-
gated balances.
These revisions included in
creases of:
From $585 million to $500
million for defense supports.
from $500 million to $4OO mil
lion for the development loan
fund for which the President
had requested $500 million for
the first year; from $1l3 mil
lion to $ll49 million for tech
nical cooperation funds: from
SITS million to $245 million for
special assistance programs.
In the special assistance
total were items appropriating
$35 million for Spain and ST.
million for Guatemala. The
administration had requested
$40 million for Spain and $40
million for Guatemala. The
committee also agreed to in
clude in its printed report to
the Senate tomorrow a pro-
posal by Senator Mundt, Re-
publican of South Dakota, to
require periodic instanment
and interest payments by coun-
tries which receive foreign as
sistance economic loans.
Final enactment OF the
foreign aid measure at a figure
somewhere between SIS and SO
billion probably will be the last
big business before Congress
adjourns. 1t seems unlikely to
be completed by both branches
until the civil rights bill goes

to raise any major obstacle TO
