overseas base early in April

Douglas Spurs
Rights Action
BY the Associated Press

Senator Douglas. Democrat
of Illinois, said today Congress
and the Justice Department
should be willing to take some
of the heat" with the Supreme
Court on school indignation.
He said recent testimony of
Attorney General Rogers and
Secretary of Welfare Flemming
gave him the feeling they are
willing Ito let the court take
all the heat"
Senator Douglas has intro
duced, with 16 other Senators
of both parties, a bill that would
put the weight of Congress and
thu executive branch of the
Government behind the Su-
preme Courts school desegrega-
ton ruling.
In testimony prepared for
the Senate Constitutional
Rights Subcommittee. which is
holding hearings on this and
other civil rights measures, he
said that indignation is the
primary issue that must be met.
Senator Douglas said he sees
nothing to warrant any con-
cluSion that time and quiet will
aid an orderly transition from
segregated public schools. He
added his bill is designed to
assist the transition.
Senator Thurmond, Demo-
crat Of South Carolina, yester-
day called the Douglas bill a
"viciously anti Southern"
measure rooted in conquered
province philosophy.
But Senator Douglas said his
bill emphasizes assistance and
prevention, not penalties and
restrictions" He added, there
Is no criminal sanction in it,"
He said the bill would, first,
declare and accept Federal le-
gal and moral responsibility for

politically, while commercial
and cultural intercourse must
be greatly increased.
AS Q first step toward po-
litical understanding. the
British (who have only three
brigades left in the NATO
forces in Germany would
want to see q military disen-
gagement by q withdrawal Of
Red and allied forces from
their present lines. Senator
Fulbright seems to share the
British belief that such a
disengagement might be
beneficial to the thawing Of
the cold war. In a speech on
the Senate floor. the For
eign Relations Committee
chairman pointed out that
a clash between NATO and
Red forces might be spanked
by an incident, since the lines
are so close to each other,
and all kinds Of long-range
missiles are available to both
forces. He suggested a with
drawal of our and the So
Wet forces. even If 1t were a
token withdrawal.
The Pentagon has made
no official comment on this
proposal. But unofficially it
was pointed out that to re-
move the risks justly pointed
out by the Arkansas Senator
it would be necessary to with
draw the forces which are
facing each other by several
hundred miles. The Russians
can afford to do this because
the whole territory behind
them belongs to or is con-
trolled by Moscow. But as we
have to withdraw outside
Germany. there would be no
place where we could station
our five divisions. The French,

allies have made it very clear

To Speak Up on Debt

President Eisenhower says
informed Americans IN u s
speak up to the Congress with
out delay" If the Government
is to stay out Of the red for
the next fiscal year.
The President stressed this
advice in q letter late yesterday
to Steve Stahl. chairman Of the
National Taxpayers Confer
ence.
Mr.. Stahl had written the
President that officers Of 81
State taxpayers associations
af1iliated with the conference
would meet at the Sheraton
Park Hotel here this week, and
would like his suggestions on
how they could help recruit &C
tive citizen support for a bal
anced budget. The meeting
ended yesterday.
Four Procedures
Disclaiming any desire TO
pose as an expert devising a
detailed prescription" Mr..
Eisenhower listed four things
he would do If he were Mr.
Stahl.
His suggestions were to help
Americans to:
!. Understand that failure to
keep the budget in balance next
year will mean further post
ponement of overdue tax re-

2. Understand the increased

3. From a balanced opinion

with budget debate.

and TO enforce school inte-
grafton.
Senator Douglas said this
provision is necessary because
without it those most subject
to intimidation or coercion are
required to fight their case
with their own resources
against all the power that
States opposed to indignation
can throw into the breach.
A similar provision was In
cluded in the administrators
