Nixon Primary Entry
SpursWisconsin COP,

Mr.. Nixon's entry into the pri-
mary was delayed by a dispute
over the makeup of the dele
gate slate that will be pledged
to him. Wisconsin Republicans
will have 80 votes at the party'S
national convention.
Big Vote Pledged
Wisconsin G. o. P. leaders
have pledged themselves to roll
up an impressive vote total for
Mr.. Nixon, and have an
nounced every effort will be
made to dissuade Republicans
from crossing over into the
Democratic column to vote in
the battle between Senator
Humphrey and Senator Ken
nedy who are bidding for the
States 81 votes at the Demo-
cratic convention.
1t had been feared by
Humphrey supporters that Re-
publicans might vote in the
Democratic primary in an
effort to embarrass the Min
nesotan in his neighboring
State.
Mr.. NiXon's decision to enter
the primary was announced by
Harvey Higley of Marinette,
chairman of the Wisconsin
Committee for Nixon for Presi-
dent. Mr.. Higley is a former
head of the Veterans Admins
tration, serving under an ap-
pointment by President Eisen-
hover.
In a letter to Mr.. Higley,
Mr.. Nixon said:

f.. MARINETTE, Wis, Feb. l6
(AP).-Vice President Nixon
will enter Wisconsin's preSi-
dental primary. apparently at
the urging of State Republican
officials who want to use his
standing in an effort to re-
store Wisconsin G. o. P. for
tunes damaged by Democratic
victories two years ago.
Mr.. Nixon's entry into the
Apri: S primary makes him the
third major candidate in the
race. Others are Democrats,
Senators Humphrey of Min
nesota and Kennedy of Mas
sachuStts.
Wisconsin G. o. P. officials
feel that an impressive showing
in the primary by Mr.. Nixon
so far unopposed in the Re-
publican presidential bidding
would help unite the State
party in opening a drive to re-
gain State Offices. The States
Republicans have been split
since 1852 as the aftermath of
a nomination hassle between
the hackers of President EiSen-
homer and the late Senator
Taft of Ohio.
In the wake Of the split,
Democrats swept to State Offices
in 1858, winning the governor
ship-for the first time in Is
years-and taking all but one
of the States constitutional
offices. They also won control
of the State Assembly. Repub-
licans hung on to their margin
in the State Senate. But even

unity. there we're reports that

Senate Group
Fails 10 Clear
Rights Bill
Debate Goes On;
Unrelated Measure
Serves as Vehicle
BY j. A. O'LEARY
star stan Writer

Efforts to get a civil rights
bill out Of the Senate judiciary
Committee. were blocked again
today.
But this did not prevent the
Senate from going ahead with
civil rights debate through use
of an unrelated House measure
as a civil rights vehicle.
Today's development served
only to emphasize the dificulty
of getting a civil rights bill out
of committee.
AS the floor battle went into
its second day there were these
other developments:
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, filed in the Senate two
motions to force civil rights
bills out of both the Judiciary
and Rules Committees unless
they are reported by February
Is.
A bipartisan bloc of liberals
introduced what is likely to be
the toughest civil rights pro-
gram considered. Indications
are that this bill goes further
than the Democratic leadership
is likely to go.
Johnson Silent on Details
The liberal program goes be-
yond the seven-point admins
tration program offered yes
terday by Senate Republican
Leader Dirksen. Democratic
Leader johnson of Texas has
not yet revealed details of the
bill he will support. The lib
eral proposal is a point
package consisting of:
/. Revival of the proposal
abandoned in 1857 to permit
the Attorney General to file
civil suits to obtain equal
rights for minority groups in
any walk of life.
2. A combination of presi-
dentially appointed registrars
and court-appointed referees
to enforce voting rights.
8. A law making hate bomb
ings a Federal crime.
4. A Federal anti-lynching
law.
Committee Lacks Quorum
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee. which has been consid-
ering civil rights bills for a
year, met at 1890 this morning
but did not get q quorum until
five minutes before the Senate
convened at II am. Under the
rules, committees cannot func-
ton while the Senate is in
session without special permits
sion, which had not been OBJ
tanned.
Senator Heating, Republican
of New York, moved that the
committee report out one of
the pending civil rights bills,
but Senator Johnston, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, made
a point of order that the Sen
ate was in session. and Chair
man Eastland, Democrat of
Mississippi, sustained him.
Senate Majority Leader
johnson said today he is not
yet committed to any specific
formula for strengthening civil
rights. declaring: Il believe

Both sides felt a jury would
be picked by today, or tomor-
row, at the latest.
A defense motion to move
the trial elsewhere-based on
alleged prejudice of area resi-
dentS-was denied by Judge
Warren Steel in his chambers
before the trial began.
However, he left the dool
open for the defense to make
a similar motion later.
Mr.. Compton, assisted by
Sierra County District At
torney Gordon I. Smith, ques-
toned jury panelists closely or
their feelings toward capital
punishment and circumstan-
tial evidence. He explained
carefully that the State could
not provide a witness to the
killing, nor could it establish
a cause of death.

Committee on Government
Contracts, headed by Vice
President Nixon.
The issue of discrimination
against skilled Negro workers
was brought to the forefront
yesterday by George Meany,
AFL-CIO president. At a union
executive council meeting in
Bal Harbour, Fla, Mr.. Meany
charged that the Nixon COM
mittee in December. 1858, gave
him no help in a proposal to
end discrimination.
However, it is understood
that the committee last De.
cember, a year later, requested
action against Government
contractors involved in dis
elimination practices here.
Request Made to GSA
The request was made to
Franklin A. Floete. administra-
tor of the General Services Ad-
ministration, as the contracting
agency for the Government on
Federal projects other than
those involving Capitol Hill.
All Government contracts
carry Observation-Disclosures
clauses, and the Nixon COM
mittee was seeking affirmative
action to see that these provi-
sionS were carried out on Fed
eral building projects.
Since the committees request,
the matter has become en-
twined in Government red tape
involving Mr.. Floete and his
Office. the White House, the
Labor Department and the
committee itself.

asked by the Nixon committee
has remained unexplained. Eff

Stores Restock
Food Shelves
For Reopening
Chains Resume
Service Tomorrow
After 6-Duy Strike
BY HERMAN r. SCHADEN
Star stan Writer

Employees of more than $50
area food stores restocked
shelves and bins today in prep
aration for tomorrow's well
coming-back of customers they
have not seen for a week.
If they were cheerier than
usual, it was because they were
happy to be back from a strike
that had crippled the areas
food distribution system since
1t began last Wednesday.
All stores Of the affected
chains-Safeway, A&P, Acme,
Giant, Grand Union and Food
Lane-will reopen at their regu-
lar times tomorrow morning.
The wind-up came in a three
ring climax yesterday after
noon when the striking Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen,
Local SIS, and two other union
locals accepted management
contract terms at three sepa-
rate meetings.
Shipments Rolling In
Butchers and retail clerks
who supported them were told
to return to work today as their
supervisors called them. All
day will be needed to receive
shipments Of fresh produce,
meats and other stocks rolling
in from the warehouses.
For their weeks idleness, and
at a price of more than 81 mil
lion a day to the industry, the

clerks involved in the dispute
received contracts slightly bet

jected before the strike.

3 RatificationS Needed
A strike settlement depended
on approval by all three unions.
Meat Cutters Local 1893. whose
members are employed at
Giant stores. were not striking
nor was Local 400 of retail
clerks.
But like striking Local SIS,
their contracts had expired,
and unless they ratified, an
other strike might have been
called on the spot.
For strategic reasons, the
clerks had led off the three
membership meetings at pm.
at the National Guard Armory.
When the issues were explained
and the ballots were counted,
they had accepted contract
terms, 805 to 535.
This left it up to the two
butchers locals, and the pres
sure Softened bit after Local
