in 1860.
In California. the blow
against the established order
was administered by George H.
McLain, a pension promoter.
Mr.. McLain took about 80 per
cent of the Democratic primary
vote from Gov. Brown, who was
running as a favorite-son can
didare.
Mr.. McLain's strong show
ing, plus a heavy Republican
turnout, enabled Mr.. Nixon to
outdraw Gov. Brown in their
popularity" contest. The Vice
President had no opposition
on the Republican slate. The
total Democratic vote exceeded
the Republican in the incom-
plete returns but not by the
3-to-2 margin which Democrats
have in registration.
Nixon "Gratified"
Mr.. Nixon said the California
returns should encourage Re-
publicans in their efforts to
carry that State in November.
He issued the following state
ment:
II am gratified by the heart
warming vote of confidence
from the voters of my hom-
State. Yesterdays returns
should provide great encour-
agement for our party in its
prospects of carrying this key
State in November as we did in
1852 and 1856.

Change Rejected
In KefuuVer Bill
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee today defeated, 8-5, a
move to knock the unrestricted
baseball player draft out Of
the Kefauver professional
sports bill.
1t also defeated, 5-3, an
amendment by Senator Hart
Democrat of Michigan, that
would have prevented the Con-
tinental League from partici-
pating in the player draft until
it is established as a part Of
baseball.
Action on the bill itself was
blocked when Senator HruSka,
Democrat of Nebraska, objected
to the committee meeting after
the start of today's Senate ses-
sion. Under Senate rules unanl-
nous consent is necessary for
such meetings. The objection
reduced the chances for pass

The Air Force said later,
however, that the radioactivity

have come from a chemical
fire in the missile itself, not
from the atomic warhead.
No one was injured.
Cause Not Announced
The cause of the accident
was not announced, if indeed
it was known. The fire is under
investigation from three sides
the Atomic Energy Commis-

ment of Health-and officials
here had little to say about it.
Capt. John A. LooSer, MAIN
tenance officer at the Bomarc
site, said the radioactivity came
from the combustion of tho
rum treated magnesium in the
missile and not from the war
head.
Capt. James H. Taylor of
the Military Air Transport
Service public information Office
here also said thoriated magne-

"Once it starts burning, it
lets off a relatively small
amount of radioactivity," he
said.
Two Explosions
In Washington, an Air Force
spokesman said two explosions

Cured.
Jet fuel for the missile was
set off by the fire. Initial in
vestigation indicated that a

Peace Unit Charges
FIugrunt Violation

BY JOHN v. HORNER
star staff Writer

The Inter-American Peace
Committee today bluntly ac-
cused the Dominican Republic
of increasing tension in the
Caribbean area by flagrantly
violating human rights.
1t charged that the govern
ment of Dictator Rafael
Leonidas Trujillo Molina has
been guilty of arbitrary ar
rests, cruel and inhuman treat
ment of political prisoners and
the use of intimidation and
terror as political weapons.
The committee, set up by the
Inter-American Conference, re-
ported to the Organization Of
American States that the Do
minican Republic also has
denied free assembly and free
dom of speech.
These acts constitute the
denial of fundamental rights
set forth in the American
Declaration of the Rights and
Duties Of Man, as well as of
principles of the charter of the
Organization of America n
States" the committee asserted.

The unusually strong report
represented the first time in
history that the Peace Commit

The committee obtained in

Dominican Republic from exiles
who recently left the country
and from Nationals of other
American countries who have
been there since mass political
arrests were begun last Janu-
ary. Among the exiles inter-
viewed were representatives of
social and economic elements,
such as educators, workers,
former members of the armed
forces, industrialists and busi-
nessmen.
Tensions Aggravated"
"on the basis of the evidence
which it has been able to
gather" the report stated, "the

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
OF New York stood in the White
House today and indirectly in
vited his friends to step up
their efforts to promote a draft
for him for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Gov. Rockefeller talked with
newsmen in the White House
press Office after conferring
with President Eisenhower for
an hour and a half-75 minutes
at breakfast in the Executive
Mansion and another Is min
utes in the Presidents office.
All he would disclose of what
he and Mr.. Eisenhower talked
about was that I'VE discussed
politics and international af-
fairs, including his trip to
Japan"
Gov. Rockefeller refused to
say what political matters were
discussed, but told reporters
there was no talk about the
possibility of his becoming a
candidate for either President
or Vice President.
Position Unchanged
Gov. Rockefeller said his own
position on the 1860 campaign
is just as it was before he came
to Washington today to see the
President-that he is not a
candidate but would accept a
draft for the G. o. P. presi-
dental nomination, and would
not consent to run for Vice
President.

Presidential
Vote for DC.
House Rules Unit
Expected to Ask
Floor Debute Time
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star STAFF Writer

The House Rules Committee
today was expected to recon-
mend two hours of floor debate
on a constitutional amendment
to give Washingtonians a vote
in presidential elections.
Committee Chairman Smith,
Democrat of Virginia. said
he would call members to an
executive session this after
noon after the proposal was
supported unanimously by wit
neSses at a morning hearing.
II personally see no justifica-
ton for refusing the presiden-
tial vote to people who live in
the District" Mr.. Smith said
at the hearing.
His personal support almost
assures favorable committee
action. Other Rules Commit
tee members raised questions
about the suffrage resolution,
but none indicated opposition.
Debate Possible Next Week
If cleared this afternoon the
District resolution probably
would be called up for debate
next week.
Under rules of the House,
members first would debate for
one hour the question of
whether to consider the pro-
posal. If a majority favors the
debate it would follow, with
time divided equally between
supporters and opponents.
This division is a technical
ity in the case of the District
measure.
1t was reported, without op-
position, by the House Judi
ciary Committee. Therefore,
Committee Chairman Cellar,
Democrat of New York, and
Senior Minority Committeeman
McCulloch, Republican of Ohio,
both supporters, would COM
mand the full debate time re-
quested.
"Open" Rule Urged
Mr.. Celler and Mr.. McCul-
loch urged an open" rule at
this mornings hearing. This
would allow amendments to be
proposed from the floor.
They pledged themselves to
stand by the resolution as re-
ported by their committee,
however, and to oppose all
amendments.
Mr.. Celler testified at the
outset that the suffrage resolu-
ton had mo relation whatso-
ever" to pending home rule
resolutions. A wrangle over
home rule has divided the
House in the face of the Dis
trict Committees failure to re-
port a bill to create a locally
elected municipal government. !
Home rule champions have
fought unsuccessfully all ses-
sions to get 219 legislatures on
a petition to force a House vote
regardless of District Commit
tee inaction.
Il would say also to you
gentlemen who oppose home
rule that this constitutional
amendment may be a way to
forestall it," Mr.. Celler said. |
ITO those of you who favor
home rule, this amendment
may be the way in which you
may approach home rule,

appeal for ALI Sides"
This amendment should
have an appeal to both sides"
noted Mr.. Celler, with a grin. !
Mr.. Celler personally favors
home rule.
Rules Chairman Smith, who
opposes home rule, remarked,

thing for everybody"
Later, Chairman Smith noted
that there has been a lot of
controversy over home rule.

Rail Pay Rise
Recommended
Presidential Bourd
Asks SC Increase

A presidential emergency
board today recommended a
compromise 5 cent per hour
wage increase for some $780, 600
incorporating railroad en-
ployeS.
In a report to President Eli
senhower the board noted that
the IL labor organizations rep
resenting the railroad workers
involved contended that the in
dustry is in retreat to mo-
nopoly," while the railroads ar
gued that the industry is in
retreat to extinction, pursued
by excessive and unreasonable
labor costs"
New Policies Urged
The boards answer was that
"the American community ex-
poets more from both labor and
management in this industry
than retreat"
Observing that total employ
ment in railroad industry has
declined by 100000 in the last
10 years, the board said also
that there is urgent need for
public policies to meet new
new conditions in the trans
portation field"
1t added that "the public
and public officials need to un-
|derstand that the failure to
treat decisively, and in the i'm
mediate future, issues of a ma
tional transportation policy, is
certain to result in consider
ably greater conflict in collec-
tive bargaining between these
parties in the future"
Rails Request Cut
The board, headed by John
T. Dunlop of Belmont, Mass,
was appointed by President Eli
senhower to make recommen-
dationS designed to head off a
threatened strike of the nom
operating employees of nearly
all the country's railroads.
The unions had demanded a
wage increase of Is cents per
hour. Railroad management
countered by proposing a Is
cent wage cut.
The board recommended a s.
cent-per-hour increase effec-
tive July /. The average wage
of these workers is now $2.40
an hour.
Other Recommendations
Among other recommended
tions on points in dispute, the
board urged that:
/. Employees be made eligible
for a second week of vacation
after three years of continuous
service instead of the five years
required now.
2. The railroads and the
unions negotiate Improvements
in the health and welfare pro-
gram in lieu of a further gen.
eral wage increase in early 1861.
8. Rules regarding eligibility
for holiday pay be changed so
as to include a number of en-
ployes not regularly assigned
who are frequently denied
holiday pay under present rules.
