0OE -FAUNU IUI NINI Rights Halted as Political Byplay'

WASHINGTON, R - Senate Democrats Tuesday slapped down Republican move to pass civil rights bill at the present bobtail session of Congress. They accused the Republicans of playing poli- tics and of trying to scuttle other legislation.
 The battle came to a smash ing climax shortly after it had been opened by Republican Lead CT Everett Dirksen with the in troduction of a tWo-point civil rights bill urged by President Eisenhower.
 Sen. Joseph Clark D-Pa), a leading advocate of civil rights, moved to table and thus kill Dirk sens bill before it even had a chance to be placed on the Sen ate calendar.
 The Senate approved the mo- tion.
 Dirksen said that in offering the bill he was not trying to en- barrass anybody but rather was seeking to carry out Eisenhower's legislative program.
 Dirksen told the Senate that his move was entirely free from political or partisan considera- tions"
 But Democrats saw it differ ently. They called it political and insisted it was designed to em- barrass them by pointing up the split between northern and south ern Democrats over the civil rights issue.
 Dirksen's bill would have set up a commission to try to end racial discrimination in govern ment contract employment and would have provided aid for schools complying with the Su- preme Courts desegregation pro- gram.
 Sen. Richard Russell D-Ga called Dirksen's move "a purely political byplay."

Top Brass Studies Plan to Streamline Ground Army

WASHINGTON, R The Army is considering a proposal 10 use only two types of divisions = heavy and medium - with all present foot soldiers riding in some kind of ground or air vehicle.
 It. Gen. Gordon Rogers, in charge of development for the Continental Army Command, said in an address yesterday that the recommendation has been made to the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, for revamping the ground forces into what would be called 'Momar." That means modern mobile army" which would be attained in the period of 1965-70, Rogers said. T

What religion means to the

MAS. KENNEDY, Religion was always stressed
in our home. think it is so wonderful for
children to have religious atmosphere in
the home. During the Easter holy days we
used to talk about what wonderful miracle
the Resurrection was. We would also talk
about the other Church holy days. The
children were brought up to discuss these
things during meal times.
During the summer holidays they read
books which supplemented that knowledge.
Then, when they travelled to the Holy Land
as children, they had the knowledge about
the way our Lord lived there. We tried to
encourage their interests. When We were
talking about the early Christians who were
martyred in the arenas in Rome, after
wards on Sundays when We vent to the zoo
we would often show them the lions"

United States Senator John F.

I should point out that as

are concerned, the oil depletion
allowance is one that provided

Kennedy Reply

Senator Kennedy - Well,
first, may I correct the state
ment which as made before
that under my agricultural
program food prices would go
up Is per cent. That is untrue.
The farmer who grows wheat
gets about 212 cents out of q
25-cent loaf of bread. If you
put his income up 10 per cent,
that would be 3 cents out OF
that Is.
The man who grows to-
matoes, it costs less for the
tomatoes than it does for the
label on the can, and I believe
that when his average wages
are about so cents an hour he
should do better; that any
body who suggests that that
program would come to any
figure indicated by the Vice
President is in error.
The Vice President suggested
a number of things. He Sug-
gested we pass an aid to edu-
cation bill. The administra-
ton and the Republican ma
jority in the Congress has op-
posed any realistic aid to edu-
cation, and the Vice President
cast a deciding vote against
Federal aid for teachers sal
aries in the Senate, which pre-
vented that being added.
This administration and this
country last year had the low
est rate of economic growth
which means jobs, of any major
industrialized society in the
world in 1859. and when we
have to find $4,000 new jobs

we are going to have to grow
more. Gov. Rockefeller says

Communists have come to
know it."

Nixon Reply

Mr.. Nixon - Senator Ken
nedy's position and mine are
completely different on this. I
favor the present depletion al
lowance. I favor it not because
I want to make a lot of oil men
rich but because I want to
make America rich.
Why do we have a depletion
allowance? Because that is the
stimulation, the incentive for
companies to go out and ex-
.plore for oil, to develop it. If
we didn't have a depletion al
lowance. of certainly, I be-
lieve, the present amount. we
would have our oil explora-
ton cut substantially in this
country.
Now, as far as my position
then is concerned, it is exactly
opposite to the Senator's, and
it is because of my belief that
if America is going to have the
growth that he talks about and
that I talk about and that we
want, the thing to do is not to
discourage individual enter
prise, not to discourage people
to go out and discover more
oil and minerals, but to encour-
age them, and so he would be
doing exactly the wrong thing

Nations Prestige

Mr.. Drummond - Senator
Kennedy, a question on
American prestige. IN light
of the fact that the Soviet
Ambassador tDaS recently eT-
PEELED from the Congo and
that Mr.. Khrushcheu has this
DeeE cancelled his trip to
Cuba for fear of stirring
resentment throughout all
Latin America, / Dould like
to ask you to spell out some
1DhGt more fully how you
think we should measure
Americas prestige to deter
mine iDhether it Is rising or
1Dhether it is falling.
Senator Kennedy - ! think
there are many tests, Mr..
Drummond, of prestige, and the
significance of prestige really is
because we are so identified
with the cause of freedom.
Therefore, if we are on the
mount. If we are rising, If our
influence is pressing. if our
prestige is pressing, then those
who stand now on the razor's
edge of decision between us or
between the Communist system,
wondering whether they should
use the system Of freedom to
develop their country or the
system Of communism, they will
be persuaded to follow our
example.
There have been several
indications that our prestige is
not as high as it once was. Mr..
George Allen, the head Of our
information service, said that
the result Of our being second
in space to the Sputnik in 1857,
and I quote him, I believe ]
paraphrase him accurately, he
said that many of these coun-
tries equate space developments
with scientific productivity and
scientific advancement. And
therefore, he said, many Of
these countries now feel that
the Soviet Union. which was
once so backward, is now on
par with the United States.
Secondly, the econo o mi
growth of the Soviet Union Il
greater than ours. Mr.. Dullei
has suggested it is from twC
to three times as great as ours
This has a great effect on th'
uriderdeveloped world which
faces problems Of low income
and high population density
and inadequate resources.

to-hell remarks were mot my
style" Of campaigning.
With a smile and small shrug
he suggested that if Mr.. Tru-
man needs to be persuaded it
is time for a change in his
method of expressing things,
this might best be done by Mrs.
Truman
Mr.. Nixon also smiled for
one of the few times in the
TV debates thus far. He got
in a dig by recalling that Sen
ator Kennedy as well as he had
"felt Mr.. Truman's ire." This
seemed to refer to Mr.. 1'ru-
mans pre-conyention opposi-
ton to Senator Kennedy as a
possible Democratic presiden-
tial nominee.
Religious Issue Discussed
The question about religion
came up in connection with a
protest by Representative Pow
ell, Democrat of New York,
that the "Ku Klux Klan is
riding again"
Senator Kennedy said he had
heard that the head of the Kl6n
announced he would vote for
Mr.. Nixon. But the Democratic
candidate emphasized that 1t
is absurd" to believe Mr..
Nixon approves Klan tactics or
has a shred of religious or ra-
cial prejudice.
Mr.. Nixon welcomed the op-
portunity to join in repudiating
the Klan and declaring that the
religious issue must neither di-
vide the Nation nor be voting
test in this campaign.
The controversy over esti-
mates of the cost Of the Demo-
cratic programs brought the
debate back to its hard-hitting
course. Disputing Mr.. Nixon's
claim that those programs
would add from $40 billion to
$18 billion more to the budget,
Senator Kennedy claimed they
would cost many billions less
than present programs as well
as several suggested by Mr..
Nixon.
Farm Plan Debated
Mr.. Nixon bitterly repeated
his earlier charge that the
Democrats were trying to f.
nance their programs by using
mirrors. He said experts have
denounced the Democratic farm
plan as "the most fantastic pro-
gram ever foisted on the coun-
try" He said it would boost
food costs by rs per cent. He
said Senator Kennedy's sug-
geSted handling of interest
rates would lead to imitation
based on "phony rates"
Senator Kennedy declared he
favors q balanced budget. He

the Democratic attack on high
interest rates. He said between
$700 million and 81 billion could
be saved by closing tax loop
holes and otherwise reforming
the Federal tax structure.
The tax discussion disclosed
a difference of opinion of
whether the 81 per cent oil de-
pletion allowance should be re-
tanned. That is an issue of spe-
cial interest in Texas. Mr..
Nixon said he favored keeping
that allowance not to make
many oil men or anyone else
rich, but because it would en-
courage production and private
enterprise.
Senator Kennedy said the al
lowance applies to 104 items
including oil. He recommended
that these as well as the "entire
tax spectrum" should be studied
carefully to determine whether
anyone is getting a tax break.
