FHibuster Possible?

Whether the Southerners, whose
average age is so, could persist in
a genuine f1libuster and make it
stick this early in the session is
debatable. But there is no ques-
ton that they will employ the
talkathon if forced to do so.
BY resorting to this device.
which is simply the business OF
Speechmaking on the floor to kill
time, the Southerners would hope
that the Senate would lay aside
consideration of civil rights legis-
lation, at least temporarily. in
order to take care of other urgent
matters, such as appropriations.
Then, if the rights matter
came up again, they would repeat
the procedure. But even though
congressional leaders want to
adjourn by July because Of the
national political conventions, the
Southerners would have to main
tain the pace for four months.
That is not all If the South
erners should be able to beat the
clock" and the threat of physical
exhaustion, they might still have
to beat cloture, a rule limiting
debate.
There is a great reluctance in
the Senate to apply cloture be-
cause the majority of today may
find itself the minority Of to-
morrow and desperate to hold up
some piece of legislation it might
feel is dangerous or irresponsible.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
The Fight to Finish
Over Civil Rights

Senate Majority Leader John
son last week threatened
around -the-clO sessions begin
ming tomorrow to get voting
started on civil rights legisla-
ton; SOutherners retaliated with
q procedural slow down.
Skirmishing over civil rights is
ended in the Senate. The all-out
battle is about to begin.
The lines are drawn, the battle
strategy and tactics set as a
heavily outnumbered band Of l8
to 20 Southern Democrats pre-
pares to pit its parliamentary skill
and physical endurance against
increasing pressure from perhaps
80 Democrats and Republicans
from the North and West.
The Southerners, led by Senator
Richard B. Russell of Georgia.
have vowed to use every available
legal weapon in a fight to the
finish against passage of a new
civil rights bill.
Democratic Leader Lyndon
johnson and Republican Leader
Everett Dirksen lead the advocates
of rights legislation, which would
include a provision to guarantee
the Negro his vote in the South
and elsewhere.
Last week, the enormity of the
Southerners' task was made clear
when Mr.. johnson, running hard,
though not openly, for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
announced that he would begin
24-hour-a-day sessions tomorrow.

CIoture Bockers

Cloture has never been success
fully invoked against a civil rights
filibuster. 1t has been tried eight
times since this so-called gag
rule" was adopted by the Senate
in 1917. Most of the votes, how
ever, demanded a two-thirds ma
jority vote by the entire Senate.
But not long ago, cloture was made
easier and a two-thirds majority
of Just those Senators present and
voting may invoke it, Certainly,
the advocates of new rights legis-
lation today have the necessary
number of votes.
Last week, while they warmed
up their vocal chords in anticipa-
ton of a fiilbuster, the Southern
ers used other delaying tactics.
One was the request for the time
consuming quorum call. Another
was the refusal to give unanimous
consent, a device used to speed
Senate business when strict in
depreciation of the rules would
slow progress.
Senator Ellender of Louisiana
threatened to use the no-unani-
nous consent tactic to bar any
Senate committee meetings while
the Senate is in session if Mr..
johnson implements his around
the-clock plan. This could en-
danger the July l adjournment

celerate the formulation of the

The Presidents stay in Rio
was saddened by a tragedy cost
ing 81 lives-35 Americans and 26
Brazilians. A Navy transport
plane carrying 19 members of the
famed Navy Band and a detail
of anti-submarine specialists COL
lided in mid-air over Rios bay
with a Brazilian airliner. There
were three survivors in the
severed tail section of the Navy
DC-6. Mr.. Eisenhower, shocked
by the news. hastily Cancelled a
reception scheduled for that
evening, and with Mr.. Kubitschek
visited the three survivors in the
hospital.
Today the two Presidents are
enjoying the Andes air and their
privacy and rest. Tomorrow Mr.
Eisenhower's party will fly to
Santiago, Chile's capital, where
he will address Congress-: on
Wednesday he will go to Monte
video. Uruguay. He will return

AT Manuals:
Not So Sharp

The uprOar over Air Force
manuals continued last week as
Secretary Sharp testified before
the House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee.
Carrying water on both shoul-
derS is neat trick. The trouble
is that most people wind up all
wet when they try it.
Take Air Force Secretary Dud-
ley Sharp, for example. Eleven
days ago, when the National
Council of Churches denounced
an Air Force training manual
which charged. among other
things. that fellow-travelers had
helped prepare the Councils Re-
vised Standard Version of the
Bible. the Air Force said that Mr..
Sharp "categorically repudiated
the publication (manuaD as rep
resenting Air Force views"
The Secretary withdrew the
manual from circulation and, it
was reported, apologized to the
NCC.
Then Mr.. Sharp heard from the
House Un-American Activities
Committee. Chairman walter,
Pennsylvania Democrat, attacked
the Air Force for withdrawing the
publication. He contended that the
statements contained therein about
Reds-in-churches were true.

But there was condition: The

Indonesiu:
Host to Mr.. K.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
wound up a visit to IndOnesia
with a round of talks on the is
land of Bali with President
Sukarno.
Indonesians had a distinguished
visitor last week whose moods and
attitudes were as changeable as
the hues of an East Indies sunset.
Mr.. KhruShchev was by turns
grumpy, jovial, amused, annoyed,
disdainful and admiring. He was
plainly tired after the rigors Of
his travels.
Following his customary ap-
proach to world problems, the
Premier reiterated several times
his belief in a peaceful solution to
the cold war and in effective dis
armament. He boldly supported
the Indonesian claims to Dutch
New Guinea. Japan. he declared,
was making a dangerous move in
signing a defense treaty with the
United States and was increas-
ing the risk of war in the Far East.

The Johnson Move

The Southerners let go with
anguished cries of Legislative tor
ture" and "tyrannous" procedure
when Mr.. johnson announced his
24-hours- s-a-day proposal, But
Senator Russell and about half his
embattled contingent voted Friday
afternoon for the marathon ses-
sion. Mr.. johnson, who can be
frighteningly shrewd at times,
offered a proposal to limit Senate
sessions to 5 pm. because "if ac-
cidents or sickness occur I do not
want the blood on my hands" He
opposed his own motion, however,
and it was defeated.
When the voting on civil rights
starts, it too, may be a time-con-
suming procedure. Senator Dirk
sen has introduced a seven-point
bill. Subsequently, Senator Rus
sell won ruling which would call
for a separate vote on the first
section of the Dirksen bill. Pre-
sumably, separate votes, after re-
neWed battles, would be required
for the other six sections.
Hundreds of civil rights bills
have been introduced in the
House and more than 100 in the
Senate, where Senator Javits, New
York Republican, leads with 90.
But the administrators proposals
of last year, carried over in the
Dirksen bill, together with the
new voting referee plan, prob
ably will be the 1860 maximum.
These proposals would:
Punish use of force or threats to
obstruct court orders in school
deSegregation cases.
Empower the FBI to investigate
bombings of schools or churches.
Empower the Attorney General
to inspect State election boards.
Give temporary financial aid to
local agencies in planning for

The eSident presumably
meant, observers here suppose,
tn a t the Communists - even
though a small minority-could
toss monkey wrenches into the
machinery. This has rarely proved
to be the case on economic mat
ters in the past. The Reds have
almost never got to first base.
Soviet non = co operation in the
economic field has had little prac-
tical effect except to give the West
a propaganda advantage.
If the U. N. were to be used as
the vehicle for massive aid pro-
gram, the Communists would be
under considerable pressure TO
contribute. To the extent that
they did contribute, it is pointed
out, they would have less money
to spend on the kind of direct, BIZ
lateral aid programs which spread
Communist influence in Asia,
Africa and Latin America.
The real American objection to
U. N. administration of aid pro-
grams in the past has been
fear that recipient countries, who
would be in a majority, would
spend the money irresponsibly.
This, too, has proven to be an
unjustified fear: such countries
have always co-operated, lest they
kill the goose that is laying the
golden eggs.

States is working against its own
best interests when it sets up new

of the training publication.

it was proper to say so in the

But last week there were dark
and ominous clouds hanging over
the Middle East. More than q
week ago United Nations Secre-
tary-General Dag Hammarskjold
had warned at U. N. news con-
ference that the situation in the
Middle East was deteriorating.
The aStute Mr.. Hammarskjold,
noted as an architect of compro-
mise and adjustment in critical
situations, in effect reported that
his efforts had proven unavailing.

Syrian troop units had joined
Egyptian contingents along the
borders of Israel. Israeli embas-
sizes in foreign capitals were in

to the governments concerned.

When President Giovanni Gron-
chi accepted an invitation to visit
Soviet Premier Khrushchev in
Moscow, there was a storm of
protest from Italy's conservative
political parties and from some
clerical quarters. The visit, two
weeks ago, was the occasion for
black headlines and many COL

The Liberals declared their with
