Democrats Open Drive
To Prod Dixie Support
BY DAVID BARNETT
North American Newspaper Alliane,

North American Newspaper Alliance
The Democratic leadership
in the House is applying a
gentle squeeze to bring into
line behind the national party
ticket Southern Representa-
tives in general, and Repre-
sentative hoNA.d Smith Of
Virginia In particular.
The tacit ultimatum, relayed
indirectly to the Southerners,
is this:
Back the Kennedy johnson
ticket or face q significant loss
Of power 10 obstruct enact
ment Of proposals you dislike
through the House Rules Com
mittee."
Judge" Smith. the primary
target Of the operation, is the
77-year-old chairman Of the
Rules Committee. Neither he
nor the leader Of the Virginia
political organization, Senator
Harry Byrd, has spoken in
favor Of the national ticket.
Liberals Seek Change
The moving force behind
the drive to curb the Rules
Committee is a group Of House
liberals led by Representative
Holifield, Democrat Of Cali
fornia. Such attempts have
been made before. But this
time the movement has such
broad support that realists
coneede 1t could succeed un-
less actively opposed by Speak
er Rayburn.
The Democratic platform
adopted at the Los Angeles
convention states:
THE rules Of the House Of
Representatives should be so
amended as to make sure that |
bills reported by legislative |
committees reach the floor for
consideration without undue
delay" ,-r-
House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack Of Massachusetts, has
let the word go out that he will
take no initiative in the move
to change the rules, but will
support notifications that
would cut the power Of a mi
nority to prevent legislation
from coming to the floor. /
Speaker Rayburn has applied
the squeeze simply by saying
that his position on rule
changes will not be taken until
after the election.
Hold Power Balance
The l2-member Rules Com
mittee is made up Of eight
Democrats and four Republi-
cans. A coalition Of the four
Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis. Representative Smith
and Representative Colmer of
Mississippi, has held the bal
ance Of power. !
The most direct threat to
Representatives Smith and
that the method of selecting
Colmer is in the suggestion
that the method of selecting
Democrats for the Rules Com
mittee be changed to give di-
rect control to the Democratic |
caucus. This change could re-
suit In one or both Of the coali-
ton" Democrats being bounced
from the committee.
This proposal, however, Is
only one Of several being con-
sidered.
Mr., Holifield says he and his
liberal associates are doing "re-
search" on possible changes.
An important, segment Of that
research deals with the So
called 2l-day rule. The rule,
which was in effect for the
1949-50 session Of the House,
permitted any bill reported by
a legislative committee to be
called up for floor action after
the Rules Committee had held
it for 81 days.
Committee Controls Bills
The obvious function Of the
Rules Committee Is to operate
as q traffic director, sending
measures to the floor for action
In an orderly manner. It also
operates. however, to take
political heat of House mem
bers. There are some proposals
that few members wish to see

Religious Issue
Seen Hurdle
For Kennedy

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept.
"a (AP) Governors Of key
Southern States pointed today
to the religious issue as a pos
sible determining factor in any
Dixie defections from the Ken
|nedy- johnson Dem ocrattc
ticket.
Gathering for their annual
conference at this historic
health resort, early arrivals
among the Southern executives
talked politics avidly as they
prepared for formal sessions
beginning Monday. II
In these sessions, they will
discuss such common problems
as conservation, indutrial de-
velopment. care Of the aged and
the effect Of imports on the do
nestle economy.
Cite Problems
But their overriding interest
lay in the difficulties governors
supporting Senator Kennedy are
encountering in trying to keep
their States in the Democratic
fold.
Gov. j. Lindsay Almond, jr.,
Of Virginia, the conference
chairman, summed up the
views Of some Of his colleagues
when he observed that Senator
Kennedy's Roman Catholic re-
ligion presents "a terrific hur-
die" to trying TO keep the South
in line.
II think Senator Kennedy's
honest approach to this issue
has helped" Gov. Almond
said in an interview. "His
fortnight statements on sepa-
ration Of church and state
have had a substantial influ-
ence In relieving the fears that
he might as President be domi-
mated by his church.
But there are many good
people who are not yet salts
fed in their own minds on this
score and this presents a ter
rife hurdle for US In Virginia
and in some other States"
Gov. S. Ernest Vandiver of
Georgia said the. religious is
sue is causing concern in his
State. But he said he has no
doubt that Senator Kennedy
will carry 1t.
Georgians recently voted in
a straw ballot to put uncom-
mitted electors on the Novem-
ber ballot. But the candidates
themselves were picked by the
Democratic State Committee
and Gov. Vandiver predicted
that at least 10 of the IL will
vote for Senator Kennedy in
the electoral college.
See Kennedy Gaining
Cows. Vandiver, Almond and
Orval E. Faubus Of Arkansas,
the conference host, agreed
that Senator Kennedy's pros
poets appear to be gaining in
the South.
Gov. FaubuS has refused to
recognize a presidential nomi-
nation voted him by the Ma
tional States Rights Party. He
has said he Is not a candidate
for national office.
The States Rights group in
Arkansas has put q list of
uncommitted presidential elec-
tors on the ballot.
Gov. FaubuS, who, like Gov.
Almond, is supporting the Dem
ocratic nominee while repudi-
ating the party platform, said
he thinks a third electoral tick
ct may benefit Senator Ken
nedy. The theory Of both Gov
ernors is that Vice President
Nixon, the Republican presi-
Dental nominee, will lose by
such an avenue the votes of
disgruntled Democrats he might
otherwise pick up.
The might be more true in
Virginia and Florida, where a
States Rights group is trying
to get FaubuS-pledged electors
on the ballot, than in Arkan-
sas where Republicans seem
to have little chance Of win
ming.

has launched his fourth term
campaign with a 50-minute
television speech in which he
said integrationists and per-
sons who want to control the
Governors Office are his real

Using the 1957-58 Little
Rock integration crisis as a
case in point. Gov. Faubus
said his opponents had criti-
cized his actions but he de-
manded to know what they
would have done in such a
set of circumstances.
The opponents are Joe C.
Hardin. a farmer-businessman !;
H. E. Williams, college presi-
dent; Hal Millsap, jr., a gro
cer-oilman. and Attorney Gen.
eral Bruce Bennett. All four
favor separation of the races.
