Unexpected injection of the
civil rights issue has forced
the Senate to put of until
next week final action on the
clean elections bill.
Senate leaders had hoped to
pass the bill placing tight new
controls on campaign spending
yesterday. But the measure be-
came begged down in a last
minute controversy over wheth-
er Congress should require New
York and a few other States
to pick their senatorial candi-
dates in primaries instead Of
party conventions.
Senator Long, Democrat of
louisiana, moved that all
States be required to adopt the
primary system. contending
that Senators from New York
never will be able to regulate
Southern primaries until they
have gained some experience
running in primaries.
Senator Keating, Republican
of New York. retaliated by Of
fering an amendment to the
Long amendment, providing
that a senatorial nomination
in primary would not be valid

that any qualified person had
been denied an equal oppor-

into the elections bill the civil

up next month of whether the

take steps to insure that Ne
groes in the South are regis

Senator Long declared the
Heating proposal was uncon-
stitutional and was about to
move that it be tabled when
acting Democratic Leader
Mansfield recessed the Senate
until Monday.
Senator Heating said later
he would withdraw his civil
rights amendment If Senator
Long will withdraw the pro-
posal to force the primary
system on New York. Other
wise. the New York Senator
said, he would oppose the effort
to table his amendment.

Signs of Woriness of Red Threat
To u. S. and Free World Welcomed

And in the meantime. the
Kremlin is likely to crack the
whip even harder than it has
been accustomed to doing in
the past. There have been
many indications that Mr..
Khrushchev and his hench-
men have been increasingly
concerned with the restless
ness of large sections of the
Soviet population. Each time
such an indication was dis
cernible, there have been i'm
mediate and drastic counter
measures.
In relations with the free
world, the Harvard report
notes that Mr.. Khrushchev
has been able, much more
successfully than Stain, to
infuse the Russian society
with the will to prevail over
the Western world and in as
sociating the Russian people
with the goals of his party"
That is the reason why the
Soviet challenge to freedom
is more threatening today
than it was under Stain.
Astutely, Mr.. Khrushchev
has managed to focus the
Soviet peoples attention on
meat. milk and corn" While
emphasizing this readily un-
derstandable appeal to his
subjects through their bel
lies. he at the same time iden-
tif1es this drive for a better
life with the Communist re-
gime in power. Thus the
simple Russian or Ukrainian
peasant, or the worker in the
factories and the oil fields,
unconsciously links his hoped
for higher standard Of living
with Big Brothers leadership.
While doing this, the Krem-
lin bosses continue to be
careful that too many West
ern political or intellectual
contacts do not tempt the
Soviet population to wonder
or think too much. For this
reason, the Harvard report
suggests. Soviet-American ex-

Cuba is in a sense an under

Clothing Chains S
Ads Of Bargains
Held MisIeudino
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion has ordered Bond Stores,
Inc, New York chain clothier,
to stop what it held was de-
ceptive advertising of prices.
savings and reductions.
The commission ruled yester-
day that the Bond organization,
which has 95 retail stores
across the country, must base
its reduction claims on its ac-
tual regular retail prices.
The five-member commits
sion overturned an initial de-
cision by an FTC hearing ex-
aminer which would have dis
missed the complaint filed in
May, 1857.
The commission, relying on
the testimony of consumer wit
nesses and its own interpreta-
ton Of the context of the ad-
vertisements, disagreed with
the examiners finding that the
evidence lacked that sub
stantiality upon which the
commissions case of false, mis-
leading and deceptive adver-
tising must be based"
The opinion, written by
Commissioner Sigurd Anderson,
cited as a typical Bond claim
in newspapers and radio COM
mercials that you can save up
to $2l on a beautiful Tru Fit
suit!-they're $50 and $50 val
ues-but during this sale only

derson held that most consum-
ers could and did assume that
the stated value prices we're the
company's customary and usual
prices. Actually, Mr.. Anderson
said. they were far above the
regular price.
The opinion noted that the
testimony Of one witness for
the chain showed that some
items of merchandise for which
large savings were claimed were
actually reduced only 10 cents

There are signs at last that
the voices of warning, the

peace and coexistence cam
paign, are beginning to be
heard. And not a moment too
soon. for as the date for the
summit conference comes
closer and closer, it will be
more essential than ever that
the West know where it is
going and what road it is
going to take.
The Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations recently re-
ceived a most thoughtful and
objective report on relations
between the Soviet Union and
the free world. That report,
prepared by Harvard Univer-
Sity's Center for International
Affairs, states fatty that the
Communist state under Nikita
KhruShchev is a more for
midable challenger than Sta
linist Russia"
We in the United States
have been all too prone. in
recent years, to adopt the
theory that Soviet commu-
nism is being eroded away.
Even so clear headed a policy
maker as John Foster Dulles
held this theory to some
extent. Others have gone even
further in their rosy opti-
mism that internal pressures,
new generations, consumer
needs, internal and external
stresses and strains would
speedily force a relaxation in
the monolithic Soviet dicta-
torship.
Certainly there will be an
inevitable evolutionary proc
ess in the Soviet state, as
there must be in all govern
ments and systems. But the
report, although accepting the
fact Of evolution. warns that
effectiveness of this evolu-
ton in liberalizing the Soviet
tyranny will be a very long
range proposition at best.

Grants Urged

The Federal Water Pollution
Control Advisory Board has
called on the administration
to support legislation increas-
ing construction grant funds
for municipal waste treatment
works.
The resolution, adopted yes
terday by the nine-member
group appointed by President
Eisenhower, runs counter to
administration policy. That
policy is to leave water pollu-
ton control in the hands Of
local authorities as far as
possible.
The board said that Federal
grants to municipalities so far
have significantly stimulated
and increased construction Of
needed facilities" 1t continued:
AT the same time there has
been no showdown Of such
treatment works financed by
non-Federal funds. The board

health and other legitimate
water uses. that additional in

1t went on to state that in
view of the fact that both the
House and Senate have passed
measures authorizing increases
in Federal construction grants,

proval of the plan.
The board also called for

There is danger IN using
minor" tranquilizers, says one
OF the first men in North
America to experiment with
the new drugs. He says one
Of the dangers is addiction.
DR.. Heinz Lehman of the
Verdun Protestant Hospital in
Montreal, Canada, told the
Senate Monopoly and Anti
trust Subcommittee investigat-
ting the price of medicine that
these minor tranquilizers are
vastly overused.
DR.. Lehman pointed out in
his testimony yesterday that
there are two general types
Of tranquilizers in use today
The major drugs - including
the earliest, chlorpromazine-
are seldom overused and are
not adjective. These, he said,
include the derivatives sold by
Smith, Kline & French under
the trade names of Thora-
zine and Compazine. They are
largely used in mental insti-
tutions.
More recently, however. DR..
Lehman said, the mephoba-
mates have been added to the
list. Meprobamate, a milder
tranquilizer, is sold by WAL

DR.. Lehman said these are
often used to help anxiety and
tension which generally have
psychological causes. The more
potent drugs are used against
schizophrenia which is believed
by many to have physical
causes.
so it doesn't make much
sense to use a pill to cure
something Of psychological
origin he said. Furthermore
there is the danger Of addiction
with the meprobamates, as well
as the danger of psychological
dependence. he added.
On the other hand, the
potent drugs have side effects,
sometimes major ones, the
physician stated. Discharged
patients don't want them and
often feel they don't need them
to keep fit once they are out
Of the hospital.
Another reason many
patients give them UP and sub
tect themselves to readmission
to the institution is that they
feel the expense is too big a
burden on their families. "The
high prices" he said, "are a big
obstacle"

by the pharmaceutical houses is

and sometimes unprofessional
