ises to be a campaign issue.
Senator Kennedy, the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee
lost his fight to have medical
care established as a new fea-
ture Of the social security sys-
TEN. He has indicated he will
take the issue to the voters.
Other major subjects still In
the legislative mill could delay
adjournment until next Satur-
day. They include:
l. The minimum wage bill, on
which House and Senate con-
ferees have little chance of
compromising their differences.
If it dies in conference it also
will be a campaign issue.
2. The Presidents request
for another change in the
sugar quota law to release him
from the necessity of turning
to the Dominican Republic to
make up the Cuban deficit in
the sugar supply.
3. The administrations re-
. quest for a 5000 million au-
thorization to help Latin
American countries to improve
living standards. Mr.. Eisen-
hover is anxious to have this
bill on the statute books before
the Latin American nations
gather for an economic confer
ence in Bogota next month.
President Protests
The latest controversy over
foreign aid came to a head Fri
day when Mr.. Eisenhower sent
a letter to congressional lead
ers protesting that the reduc-
tion of his foreign aid fund to
$3.7 billion by House and Sen
ate conferees would jeopardize
the security of the country.
The House brushed the let
ter aside by approving the con-
ference report within ten min
utes after the letter was read.
The Senate did likewise Friday
night, but Senate leaders left
the door open by suggesting
that administration officials
ask the Appropriations Com
mittee to reconsider the stricken
items on the last supplemental
money bill.
Acting on this suggestion,
Undersecretary of State Dillon
went before the committee yes
terday morning and requested
the following cuts be restored
In defense support, $65 mil
lion to make the total $675
million; for technical aid, $22
million to make the total $172
million; for special assistance,
$26 million to make the total
$256 million; for the develop
ment loan fund, $3.50 million
to make the total $700 million,
and for administrative ex-
penses, So million.
The Senate committee grant,
ed the full amount in each
case except the development
loan fund, for which it al
lowed half of the request, or
SIS million.
The foreign aid and other
Senate amendments increased
the supplemental appropria-
tions bill, the last before Con-
gress, from a House-approved
$50 million to about $500 mil
lion.

through the years have leaned
iflsfavor of the Democrats any
way. The official Endorsement

labor vote for Senators Ken

TALLY above normal expecta-
tions.
Organized labor apparently
was very effective in the con-
gressional elections Of 1858,
when right = to work" laws
were a major issue in five
States. Labor leaders convinced
rank-and-flle members that
such laws threatened to de-
stroy their unions.
Two Senate Victims
Aroused by this issue, union
lists played an important part
in defeating at least two Re-
publicans who supported right
t1~work" laws-Senator Bricker
Of Ohio, running for re-elec-
ton, and Senator Knowland of
California, running for Gov
ernor.
Another crucial issue-the
Taft-Hartley Act-stirred up
union members in 1948. Con-
gress the preceding year had
enacted the Taft-Hartley Act
over President Truman's veto.
Union leaders called Taft
Hartley a slave labor" law, and
helped Mr.. Truman win the
election with millions of labor
votes.
But the issues in this years
campaign somehow seem to
lack sharp impact from the
viewpoint Of an average union
member-although later devel-
opments may light the spark.
AFL-CIO leaders apparently
believe economic growth and
unemployment are the top is
sues Of 1860.

to give all House members an
adequate opportunity to enact,
amend or reject important
measures. no matter how con-
troversial.
The Northern. Midwestern
and Western Democrats spear
heading the 1861 attack on the
Rules Committee are especially
disturbed because the four Re-
publican members and at least
two Of the four Southern Demo-
cratic members frequently team
up to delay or shelve measures.
At the start Of the 86th Con-
gress in January. 1859, a group
of some 100 House Democrats
who later established them
selves as a Democratic Study
Group" were on the verge of
pressing for the 21-day and
other means Of curbing the
Rules Committee. They aban-
doned the attempt when as
sured by Speaker Rayburn that
he would do everything possible
to see that important bills re-
ported out by other committees
were not prevented from reach
ing the House floor.
Rayburn Not Blamed
Representative Holifield of
California. who heads the
study group. and other Demo-
Gratis active in the renewed
battle against the Rules Com
mittee, do not blame Mr.. Ray
burn because things have not
always worked out that way or
because the Rules Committees
present coalition shows no sign
of reforming"
But when we get in our
democratic process to a point
where a minority can Illustrate
the will of the majority, then
something is wrong" Mr.. Holi-
field said last week. Something
needs to be corrected If
House rules get to the point
where they Illustrate the ex-
preston of the will Of the ma
jority, then it is the job of this
great body to change those
rules to the point where it will
be possible to allow the ex-
preston of the will of the ma
jority either for or against an
important matter"
Mr.. Holifield disclosed that
he and his associates have done
"a great deal of research" He
predicted that there will come
time when this rule will be
changed which permits this
frustrating situation in the
democratic process" He en-
phasized that he regards this
as a matter of principle rather
than a partisan issue.

Senator Johnson's presence

AS II to underscore a chang
ing political pattern in this
Democratic stronghold, Sena-
tor Morton Of Kentucky, the
Republican national chairman
will meet here tomorrow with
party leaders from IL South
ern States to map plans for the
Dixie campaign. 1t will be the
first such meeting held in this
State.
On hand for the closed gath
ering will be Robert H. Finch,
the Vice Presidents campaign
director. He will lend a hand
in speeding the setting up of
volunteer organizations through
which independents and de-
fecting Democrats may work
for the Nixon-Lodge ticket.
1t is on these voters, of
course, that the Republicans
still greatly in the minority
in most Of these Southern
States-are basing their hopes
in the South. And in Missis.
sippi it represents a formidable
task.
In 1856. while six other
Southern and border States
were going Republican, Missis-
sippi gave Adlai Stevenson
144,948 votes to President Eli
senhower's 56,372. In the 1852
election Mr.. Stevenson received
172,566 and Mr.. Eisenhower

and the rest of the Southern
States.
The reasons for the G. o. P.
optimism are not hard to find,
as random conversations reveal
here and in Birmingham and
Atlanta, where Mr.. Nixon
spoke yesterday.
Platform Rejection
Outwardly it is the conserv-
ative South's rejection of the
liberal Democratic platform
embraced by Senator Kennedy
and what many consider the
party's refusal to consider
Southern views.
But running deep throughout
the whole political fabric in
those States is the religious is
sue over Senator Kennedy's
faith in an area where Catho-

Liberals Plan
AlI-0ut War on
Ru|esGroup
By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star stan Writer

AS the Seth Congress ap-
proaches adjournment this
week, a determined band OF
House Democrats is gathering
recruits for a massive assault
on Rules Committee power as
soon as the 87th Congress con-
venes in January.
Stung by what they consider
committee stalling or killing
of progressive measures, these
House liberals and moderates
have worked out in consider
able detail their strategy for
1861.
They recall that efforts to
clip the committees authority
were tried or advocated with
out much success in recent
years. But they believe they
now can count on enough con-
gressional and public indigna-
ton to bring about a change.
They plan to force the issue
first at a caucus of all Demo-
Gratis elected next November for
the new Congress. They will
offer a resolution at that early
January huddle to require in
dividual selection of Demo-
cratic members of the Rules
Committee by a majority vote
OF the caucus itself. Advocates
Of such a procedure believe
they can muster sufficient sup
port to offset expected opposi-
ton by Southern Democrats. ,
About Assault
Other weapons they intend
to use in their war on Rules
Committee power and a fire.
quent coalition of Republican
and Southern Democratic mem
berS include proposals to in
crease the 12-member commit
tee to Is, have the Speaker and
majority leader serve as mem
bers, prevent tie votes from
blocking action-the commit
tee, and enable the House to
take up any bill if the Rules
Committee refuses to act on
1t within 81 days.
Leaders in this endeavor say
also they will strive during the
election campaign to remove
any idea that the Democrats
are mainly responsible for
Rules Committee obstruction or
destruction of bills for housing
programs, Federal aid for
school construction and other
major measures the Democratic
leadership had hoped to enact.
The Rules Committee cur
rently consist of eight Demo-
Gratis and four Republicans
elected by the House generally
on recommendation by party
leaders. 1t exercises great but
not unlimited power in decid-
ing what bills approved by
legislative committees are to be
cleared for House consideration
and the time Limits and other
procedures regulating debate
and action.
