Leader Johnson may attempt
to bring a civil rights bill before

But Senator Dirksen said he
thinks Senator johnson, as the
leader Of the top-heavy Demo-

Sponsibility for initiating the

Senator Dirksen was re-
ferring to a maneuver, success
fully used two years ago when
Congress passed the first civil
rights bill since the Reconstruc-
ton era, to bypass the Senate
Judiciary Committee.

Yaounde, French Cameroons.
July II (AP).-Five Africans
convicted Of terrorism were
executed in public yesterday.
One of them, Simo SIRE, was
convicted Of % Sayings, in-
Guiding the killing of a deputy
in the CAMERON Assembly.
The executions took place in
the market place at Bafoussam,
near the British CameroonS,
where there was an outbreak
of terrorism in 1857 and 1858.
About 20 persons have been
killed in the area recently in
a renewal of violence. The ter
riorism is generally blamed on
the outlawed Union for the
Cameroons People which de-
mandS new elections before in
dependence in 1860. The United
Nations last year found no
need for new elections.

Dirksen Backs Shortcut
To Speed Rights Bill

proponents fear it will do this
year.
When the 1857 bill came from
the House, the Senate by a
$3.50 vote took the unusual
course of placing the measure
directly on its legislative calen-
dar instead of referring it to
the committee.
Supporters of the measure
argued this was the only way
to get action.
Senator Johnson, who voted
against the procedure used in
1857, has not indicated what
strategy he may employ this
year. One leading Southern
opponent of civil rights meas
ures said privately he can't be-
lieve Senator johnson will lead
a fight to bypass the Judiciary
Committee.
However. Senator johnson
was reported earlier in the week
to have appealed to Chairman
Celler Of the House Judiciary
Committee to get bill passed
by the House as soon as pos
sible.
Senator Johnson, who would
like to avoid a party-splitting
fight on the issue next year
just before the presidential and
congressional elections. has
listed a civil rights bill as part
of his program for the present
session of Congress.
Committee Okay Seen
Mr.. Celler has predicted his
committee will approve a civil
rights bill some time this COM
ing week. The measure is ex-
pected to conform largely to
President Eisenhower's recon-
mendations.
In the Senate a Judiciary
subcommittee has scheduled
another meeting for Wednesday
in an effort to complete action
on a bill.
But Senator DirkSen told
newSmen he expects that get.
ting action from the full Judi@
ciary Committee, of which he
is a member, will be "a horse
of another COLOR.
He noted that in addition tos
Senator Eastland as chairman

Johnson Sees
81 Billion
Money Cut
By tn. ANNOTATED Pres.

The Democratic Congress
will cut President Eisenhower
money requests by up to bill
lion dollars, Senate Democratic
Leader Johnson predicted yes
terday.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said that If Congress
does this-and he doesn't con-
cede 1t will-the reductions are
likely TO come primarily out OF
the foreign aid program which
seems closest to Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's heart at this time.
Senator johnson said on a
television program recorded for
Florida stations that he is con-
vinced there is "a general par
tisan political campaign to
smear this Congress" He men,
toned specifically the spend
ing label some Republicans
have hung on Congress.
I'm our tri-partite system of
Government" Senator johnson
said. "the executive has at his
command the powers OF the
press. radio and television and
they are constantly harping on
the defects Of the legislative"
On Offense
without reference to the
methods used, Senator Morton
Of Kentucky, the G. o. P.
national chairman, said Re-
publicans ARE on the offensive
most strongly than at any time
since 1882" The result, Sena-
tor Morton said in a Wichita
(KanS0 speech. has been to put
the Democrats on the defen-
sive.
although we have not sue
ceeded in changing the philoS-
ophy Of the big spending DEM
ocrats from the North and West,
they have trimmed their sails
considerably as a result of
Republican emphasis on fiscal
integrity" Senator Morton said.
Senator johnson said six ap-
preparations bills thus far sent
to the White House had been
cut 1922 million below Mr..
Eisenhower's budget requests.
Senator johnson said Con-
gress is likely to provide more
money than Mr.. Eisenhower
asked for defense. health, water
projects and public works. But
he said this bill will be more

than Offset by cuts in 10 other
regular money measures.
"And when a summary Is
picked and the net result is In,
we will appropriate. In my opil1
we will appropriate. in opin-
ion, about half a billion to a
billion dollars less than the
President asked us TO appropri-
ate." he said.
Cites Polls
Asserting that polls indicate
the people approve Of the
course the Democratic Congress
is taking, Senator johnson said
the Republicans must run
against the record Of this Con-
gress--and they are making a
poor Job Of it,"
Senator Johnson appeared on
the TV program with Senator
SmatherS, Democrat of Florida.
Senator Dirksen said he is
glad to cheer the Democrats ON
in their economy drive.
Let operation fall-back con-
tinue," he said in an interview.
But he said the Democrats
claimed savings will have to
come mostly from reductions in
Mr.. Eisenhower's proposed So
909, 000,000 foreign aid program.
Both chambers have voted TO
hold new funds to approx
mately $685. million below Mr..
Eisenhower's figure and are ex-
.pected to provide substantially
less in actual appropriations.
II the final amount is too
low, Senator Dirksen said he
does not regard as an idle
remark Mr.. Eisenhower's news
conference statement last We'd
nesday that he might have 10
call a special session of Con-
gresS to consider additional
funds.

He renewed his call for posi-

the Democratic leadership In
Congress, but softened his re-
marks by saying:

He said the Democratic Party

that II 1.-THE leaders will re-

Hits Concern for G. O.. p.
As for his own views, Mr.
Butler said:
Il do not believe the image
that has been given the people
is one Of proceeding too
cautiously, too much concern
with developing legislation in
keeping with the thinking of
the Republican Party"
Several Democratic members
OF Congress have said Mr.. But
Ter should resign, but the chair
man made 1t clear he has no in
tention of doing so. He said he
would not quit until members
OF the national committee in
formed him that they thought
it would be in the best interest
Of the party.
Mr.. Butler also said his mail
supports the views he has ex-
pressed and that a dozen or
more members Of the national
committee with whom he has
been in touch, with the excep-
ton of Senator Green, Demo-
crat of Rhode Island, also sup
ported him. Senator Green crit
icized the chairman in a letter
last week.
Cites His Transcript
Mr.: Butler said that news
reports Of his television re-
marks a week ago failed to say
that he also said then that he
believed the record Of the 86th
Congress, when completed,
would be good one. He ex-
pressed regret that members
of Congress failed TO read the
transcript Of the broadcast be-
fore launching their criticism
of him.
Mr.. Buffers press conference
took place at a party relations
conference at the Sheraton
Park Hotel which adopted a
resolution approving his call on
congressional leaders to sup-
port policies set out in the par
tvs 1856 platform.
The conference, attended by
about rs Negro and white
leaders from "a States, also
called in the resolution for the
adoption Of a strong civil
rights program and the adop-
ton OF "a vigorous and forth
right civil rights plank" in the
party's 1860 platform.
Mr.. Butler said he agreed en-
tirely with the sentiments of
the conferences views on civil
rights. He described President
Eisenhower's press conference
remarks last week that segre-
cation in the political and eco
nomic fields was immoral as
mot enough" and added:
