the easiest way" to bring up
the bill would be to obtain the
219 signatures on a discharge
petition.
Mr.. Rayburn remarked that
the civil rights bill could be

Of the four Republicans on the
Rules Committee voted to clear
it for House consideration.
He refused to be drawn into
a discussion Of charges by some
Democratic liberals that House
Republican leaders have formed
a coalition with Southern
Democrats against the civil
rights bill in return for help
on other legislation.
Southern Democrats have
denounced as unconstitutional
the proposal to send Federal
officials to oversee the registra-
ton of voters in the States, and
it is a foregone conclusion they
will resist this recommendation
as long as they can when the
Senate debate begins in mid
February.
One well-informed Demo-
cratic source believes, however,
that a coalition of liberals
from both parties will be able
to pass the registrar plan in
the Senate, provided the White
House indorseS it.
Hennings Backs Plan
Senator Hennings called the
Federal registrar plan the most
outstanding feature of the Civil
Rights Commission report and
said he thought a bill could be
ready for Rules Committee ac-
ton early in February. He said
Robert G. Storey, vice-chair-
man Of the commission, would
be the first witness at the hear

Rail No-Strike
Pledge Denied
Mitchell

Secretary of Labor Mitchell
is optimistic about the chances
for averting a Nationwide rail-
road strike, but he has obtained
no pledge of a settlement from
labor or management, a Labor
Department spokesman said
today.
The spokesman specifically
denied a report in the Detroit
News that rail labor and man
agement' have promised to sub
NIT their dispute over feather
bedding" to committees for
study and recommendations.
Daniel P. Loomis, president
of the Association Of American
Railroads, said through an
aide that he knows nothing at
all about the report.
Spring WaIkOut Feared
Secretary Mitchell told re-
.porters Monday that he does
not know whether rail unions
will strike, but added that he
believes the issues will be set
tied without a work stoppage.
Negotiations centered in Chi
cago are now under way. Some
observers fear a strike this
spring.
The Labor Secretary, who is
credited with a major role in
settling the steel dispute, has
held several" meetings with
rail labor and management,
the spokesman said, but added
that the Detroit report Of more
than 80 meetings is greatly
exaggerated. The most recent
meeting was held several
months ago, he said.
In the course of the meet
ings, the spokesman said, the
Secretary discussed the pos
Sibility Of submitting the
"featherbedding" controversy
and other industry problems
to a study group.
Reaction Favorable"
Reaction to the suggestion
was favorable on both sides,
the spokesman said, but a
decision on establishing a study
group was postponed until
after negotiations. That is,
according to this version, study
of "featherbedding" would not
be part Of a rail settlement but
would come later.
Rail management contends
and the unions vehemently
deny-that outmoded work
rules and pay practices cost the
industry about $500 million a
year. "Featherbedding" is pay
for work not done or not
needed.

Gray went on to say that it is
conceivable that the board

Because of that possibility.
Mr.. Gray said, he was COM
PEELED to make few observa-
tions.
Certain regulations" he
said. may be violated unin-
tentionally but the violator is
nonetheleSs guilty. Ordinarily,
the penalty imposed for such
an unintentional violation will
be less severe from that meted
out to an intentional and
willful violator of the same
regulations.
For Public's Protection
However, licensing regula-
tionS are for the protection Of
the public and suspensions, rev.
ocationS and denialS of licenses
for violations of such regula-
tionS are not for the purpose
of Furnishing the licensee or
applicant.
Again, it may be noted that
the violation of one regulation
may necessarily result in harm
to some member of the public,
while violation of another does
not have such a necessary
result.
Again, a violation of nc
: regulation may be an inner

Again, one violation may be in

of mind, while another viola
ton may not be so indicative.

that the Air Forces Atlas mis-

Gods last sentence on human

The beatif1c vision is de-

The concept of particular

Judaism in China, before the
