Questions Dodged
By White House

Reports that John c. Doerfer
is on his way out as chairman
Of the Federal Communications
Commission spread through
official circles today.
The White House lodged any
direct replies to questions about
reports that President Eisen-
hover had asked Mr.. Doerfer to
resign.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty would say
only that there is nothing be-
fore the President on which to
act, so have no comment"
Tone Hints Action
The tone of Mr.. Hagerty's
remarks. however, was taken by
veteran White House reporters
as a hint that President might
be expecting to act on some
thing involving Mr.. Doerfer
soon.
Mr.. Doerfer, under fire for
accepting the hospitality of the
owner Of Is TV and radio sta
tons under FEC regulation,
could not be reached for
comment.
But sources in position to
know said they were convinced
his resignation was on the way.
1t was learned that Mr.. Doer-
fer called at the White House
yesterday. He was understood
to have conferred there with
David Kendall. special counsel
to the President.
Calls Unanswered
Mr.. Doerfer's office said to-
day he was not in. Telephone
calls to his home brought the
response that he was not there

agency plans would be sub

cials and to private transit
operators.
The Federal corporation,
should it be set up three years
from now, would have more
sweeping powers. AS much as
$685. million might be required
by the corporation and its
predecessor by 1868, according
to Elmer B. Stats, deputy
director of the Budget Bureau,
who transmitted the admins
tration proposal to Congress.
He said $685. million could
finance five steps of the ulti-
mate integrated rail, bus and
auto transportation program to
serve the capital region for
decades to come. These we're:
l. Completion of most Of the
plans for a subway
system.
2. Construction of ext eeSs bus
stops and parking sites for
transit riders who might be ex-
pected to drive autos to the
stops to board buses.
Buses Despite Losses

contract with private firms to
run buses into areas in need
of service even if the runs

Mr.. Holiday said he also
disagreed with Mr.. Eisenhower's
proposal to abolish the Civilian
Military Liaison Committee
which Mr.. Holiday heads.
Abolishing the committee is
one of several proposed changes
in the National Space Act the
House committee is studying.
Mr.. Eisenhower has repeat
eddy stressed his belief in the
need for separate military and
civilian space programs. But
Mr.. Holiday said he felt this
approach sapped strength and
resources.
Favors Single Agency
"As an end objective they
can be separate" he said. but
the similarity between the pro-
grams is far greater than any
one would be led to believe"
Mr.. Holiday said he favors
putting all space research and
development under a single
agency-either the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration or the Department of
Defense. When a definite OBJ
jective is established for a
space project, he said, it then
can be assigned to either a
military or civilian agency.

that he was in direct opposi-

said they had talked with Mrs.

Senator Neuberger, Al, died

short of the required two-thirds
majority.
The result does not mean
the South will succeed in
blocking a new civil rights law.
But it does indicate that the
liberals will not be able to pass
a strong bill. 1t is expected
that the Senate will pass a
moderate measure within a.
week or 10 days.
The House began its debate
on civil rights today. If it
passes a moderate bill, de-
signed mainly to protect vot-
ing rights, the Senate prob
ably will accept it next week
without amendment.
Defeat Forecast
The liberal attempt to get
Senate cloture today was
doomed from the start because
both Democratic Leader John
son and Republican Leader
Dirksen opposed it as prema-
ture.
The Senate will go on de-
batting the first of a series of
tough amendments to be
pushed by the liberals, and
may get another test vote to-
night or tomorrow.
The next test will come on

eral to use Federal injunctions
