Representative Emanuel Gel

House action or civil rights this
session to what he called IDEAL

Southern Democrats.

leaving a less difficult task for
Congress in the 1860 Presidential
election year.
Sources close to the Speaker
and Chief Democratic leader of the
House, Representative Sam Ray
burn of Texas, said it was neces-
sary to defer House action until
next year because of the command
ing tactical position of Repre-
sentative Howard w. Smith, DEM
ocrat of Virginia.
Mr.. Smith, a bitter foe of any
civil rights legislation, is chair
man of the House Rules Commit
tee. At this late stage of the ses-
sion, according to these sources,
he is in a position to delay Rules
Committee action and thus block
clearance of bill for House con-
sidertaion before adjournment.
Speaker Rayburn is working for
adjournment early next month.
Cumbersome parliamentary pro-
cedures to force the Rules Com
mittee to act or to bypass it could

not be invoked within the time
available, in Mr.. Rayburn's esti-
nation.
Johnson Backs Pledges
The Senate Democratic leader,
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, is
standing by his repeated pledges
to win Senate approval this ses-
sion of limited but meaning
ful' bill.
So far, Southern opponents
have been able by dilatory tactics
in the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee to keep any civil rights mea-
sure from the floor.
If the blockade continues, as
expected, Senator johnson plans
to have civil rights bill attached
to some other unrelated measure
in the Senate at a time that he
regards as tactically appropriate.
He has not disclosed when this
might be done. Present indica-
tions are that the move will be
made after all other major legisla-
ton of the session has been dis
posed Of
The bill to be used as a vehicle
for the civil rights rider has not
yet been identified. 1t is likely
to be a minor measure on which
Congress need not complete &C.
ton this session.
Peanut Bill Amended
Meanwhile, civil rights advo-
Gates maintained pressure in the
Senate today for extraordinary
steps to assure action.
Senator Kenneth B. Heating,

bottle up the civil rights bill in
the Rules Committee.
Mr.. Celler conceded, however,
that Representative Smith prob
ably would be able to stave off
Ruels vote for the rest of the
session.
Representative John w. Byrnes
of Wisconsin, chairman of the
House Republican Policy Commit
tee, sharply denied the existence
of "any deal by anybody, any
time, any place, any where"
Mr.. Byrnes noted that Mr.. Gel
Ter, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, had not yet asked the
Rules Committee to clear the
Judiciary Committees bill.
Before he makes unfounded
charges" he declared, Mr.. Celler
should wash his own hands and
ask the Rules Committee to act"
Mr.. Celler said he planned to
make such a formal request to-
morrow. He said he had been
prevented from doing so earlier
because civil rights opponents in
his committee had not completed
minority report until today.

Sunday Fishing Ban
Has Now Been Lifted

The ban on Sunday fishing
has been officially removed by
Governor Michael ". Di Sale.
He signed into law recently a
bill which makes it legal to fish
anywhere in Ohio on the Sab
bath.
The fishing ban was included
in the states blue laws, which
have been on the books for more
than a century. One of the blue
laws, which is being enforced,
prohibits the operation on Sun
days of concessions or gift shops
at state parks. The Division of
Parks has closed down the ones
it controls and has notified
operators of others under con-
tract that they may be arrested
if they operate.
Attorney General Mark Nc
Elroy had ruled that the blue
laws affect operations at state
parks and state and county fairs.
A bill is in the General Assembly
to modify the blue laws and
allow Sunday operation at parks
and fairs.
