devastating attack on the regis

OF his own proposal He dismissed
the registrar idea as unavoidable"
and as valuable as "a ticket to the
1929 Dempsey-Firpo fight"
One of the most effective points
made by the Attorney General
was dramatized by photostats
showing that Federal, State and
local candidates are listed on the
same ballots in several Southern
States. AS the registrar plan ap-
plies only to Federal elections. a
registered Negro could not use
the Federal-State local ballot.
This could lead to "separate-but-
unequal voting booths. Mr..
Rogers said.
Republicans are beginning to

Keating'S plan to combine the

The Navy position is that this

Civil Rights:
Attack

Attorney General Rogers told
Congress on Friday that the
Federal registrar plan to aid
Negro voting rights is worthless
and urged adoption of his own
proposal.
Ever since Attorney General
Rogers disclosed his plan for
court-appointed referees" to reg
lister qualified Negro voters for
State and Federal elections and
watch over the ballot-box and
vote-counting, civil rights advo-
Gates on Capitol Hill have been in
a dilemma.
They had been all set to back
the Federal registrar plan recon-
mended by the Civil Rights Com
mission as the means to aid Negro
voting in the South. Under this
plan, the President would appoint
the registrars who would oversee
only registration for Federal elec-
tions.

plan seemed to go farther and.

the edge Of the crowds and moving
unobtrusively with the candidate
through his schedule.
A third professional in the camp
is Hyman Raskin, a snowy-haired
lawyer who learned his national
politics from Stephen Mitchell
and James Finnegan. For over a
year Mr.. Raskin has been moving
around the country in Senator
Kennedy's behalf and he will
settle soon into Oregon, State
which he held for Adlai Stevenson
in 1856 and which could become
a confusing factor in the current
contest.
Senator Kennedy works well
with homegrown professionals
like Larry O'Brien, who assisted
him in Boston on his Senate cam
paigns and functions now as an
aide and scout. Mr.. O'Brien's
assigned speciality is the New
England region but he has proved
strikingly successful at spotting
key Kennedy supporters in crucial
States like California. A similar
figure is Kenneth O'Donnell, a
former Harvard football captain.

The Hurdles Ahead

Senator johnson recognizes that
the overwhelming percentage Of
his prospective delegate strength
comes from Southern States. He
also recognizes that he needs far
more than that to win. But he
believes that If he Is to spread
out, he must overcome the strong
opposition many Northern and
Western Democratic groups have
to Southerners and their causes.
OF the two sections, North and
West, his chances Of making any
real headway are unquestionably
better In the latter. Thus, last
Friday. his supporters arrived at
the Western States Democratic
Conference in Albuquerque, N.
Mex, whooping 1t up for Lyndon
as a true son Of the West.
He didn't let them down. In
a major address he called for more
Federals cooperation with States
and localities on such things as
development of river basins, water
transport planning, and efforts to
make sea water usable-all of in
terest to Westerners.

troll the Western States total dele

Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, who already has
annoyed more of his fellow party
officials than any chairman in re-
cent times, did it again. After
pointing out that the committee
has the country divided into four
areas and that Texas Is in the
South, Mr.. Butler indicated he did
not see much Of q chance for
Senator johnson.
Wisconsin, one Of the minority
of States which has a preferential
presidential primary, will have 81
delegates to the Democratic Con-
vention in July. In 1856, when the
State had only % votes, two dele
gates were selected from each of
10 districts and the remaining
eight at-large.
With the increase this year, it
was widely assumed that the at
large number would be boosted to
10. The third additional vote is to
be split between the national COM
mitteeman and committeewomap.

many Kennedys in the act, that
the family is crowding the scene
to the exclusion of more expert

this sentiment is hard to gauge
since those who nourish it are

The Kennedy campaign for
President, which has been rolling
with such effect that the Massa-
chusetts Senator may well have
the Democratic nomination with
in his grasp If he whips Hubert
Humphrey in Wisconsin, is a
unique aggregation of profess
sional politicians, devoted rela-
tives and fresh-faced enthusiasts.
1t is a campaign in which the
candidate himself is the mana
ger. There is no one doing for
Senator Kennedy the basic Job
which James Farley did for
Franklin D. Roosevelt or which
Henry Cabot Lodge did for Presi-
dent Eisenhower. On major de-
cisions Senator Kennedy listens
to many people and most atten-
lively to those closest to the situa-
ton at hand. But he is the final
arbiter, the balance wheel between
the sometimes contending posi-
tions of his professional and nom
professional aides.
The reason for this unusual role
IS that there is no professional
who has Travelled the Nation as
extensively as Senator Kennedy
himself in the last four years.
Is He Kennedy's Forley?
The only approximation of a

A Fair Test

But before the week was out.
Senator Kennedy said he still be-
lieved the April 5 vote would be
a fair and important test" Of
the States sentiment. The pride
Of Massachusetts could afford to
be gracious. II he wins the ma
jority Of the popular vote, as
seems probable, his efforts at get
ting a bandwagon rolling will not
be impaired by the loss of a few
delegates. And, If necessary, he
can always taunt Mr.. Humphrey
about "ethics" in Wisconsin.
A second battle between the
only two serious Democratic can
didates who so far are willing to
enter primary contests was as
sured last week when Mr.. Ken
nedy filed for the West Virginia
balloting on May 10. Mr.. Hum
phrey had filed earlier.
A Vice President is rarely called
upon to break a tie vote in the
Senate. In fact, last Wednesday
Mr.. Nixon cast only his seventh
such vote in seven years as Vice
President.
This vote may prove to be the
most important one he has ever
cast. It defeated one plan for a
huge program Of Federal aid to
education - school construction
and higher pay for teachers.
Although the Senate later passed
a Democratic-sponsored $1.8 bill
lion school-aid bill, 81 to 35, the
earlier tie-breaking vote by Mr..
Nixon gave the Democrats some
thing to Zero in" on during the
coming campaign.

ain, West Germany and Japan.
But the Russians have the knack
of beating propaganda drums on
even small amounts. Now they
are making concerted effort to
regain the ground lost so far to
the Western countries in the
economic field.
However it is in the political
front that Indians watch with
great interest these visits Of Mr..
Voroshilov and Mr.. Khrushchev,
mainly because Of the present
threat posed by their ally, Com
munist China, on their border.
Indian official experts have
regarded as "very significant" Mr..
Voroshilov's declaration at the
New Delhi state banquet that
the Soviet Union firmly believes
that all controversial issues in in
ternational relations can and must
be solved by peaceful means
solely" This was in reply to In
dian President Rajendra Prasad's
speech in which he had said that
ION our own horizons we face
unfortunately new problems. This
was an obvious reference to Pc
kings attitude.
There is a great deal Of specula-
ton here about what Mr.. Khru-
shchev will propose to Mr.. Nehru
on the Sino-Indian border dis
pute. There is general impress
sion in New Delhi official circles
that Mr.. Khrushchev is neutral
on India's side" 1t is based on the
calculation that relations between
Peking and Moscow are cooling
of but there is no tendency here
to exaggerate its Importance. The
assessment is Mr.. Nehru's. though
it is difficult to say whether he
shares the optimism" Of his off,
cials.
Plan for Summit
Mr.. Khrushchev would like to
go to the summit in May with his
hands strengthened. A meeting
between Mr.. Nehru and Commu-
mist Chinese Premier Chou En-lai
could we'll be used by him to ad-
vertise his willingness and ability
to resolve deadlocks.
1t is a reasonable assumption,
therefore, that Mr.. Khrushchev
would try to persuade Mr.. Nehru
to meet Mr.. Chou En-lai. He has
already indicated this line Of ap-
proach in an interview with an
Indian journalist, K. A. Abbas.
Mr.. Khrushchev declared that 1T
is necessary to continue the efforts
to remove whatever misunder-
standing may have arisen between
India and China, and restore
good friendly relations between
the two countries"
> It might be difficult for Mr..
Nehru to resist this pressure once
he comedies that the Soviet
Premier is motivated not by con-
siderations Of underscoring
Peking's stand but by his desire
tween New Delhi and Peking.
Mr.. Nehru himself has rejected
the idea Of strong military action
against Communist China.
