House Acts
To Transfer
Rocket Team
BY the Associated Press

The House wants the pro-
posed transfer of the Army
rocket team headed by Wernher
Won Braun to the civilian space
agency to take effect i'm
mediately.
President Eisenhower SUBJ
mitted the proposal to Con-
gress January IA. Under the
rules it would not take effect
until it has been before Con-
gress for so days without ad-
verse action being taken. Nc
affirmative action by Congress
is required.
Yesterday the House adopted
a resolution by a 92-2 vote to
waive the 60-day rule. 1t must
now be approved by the
Senate.
| Secretary of the Army Bruck-
er has told the House Space
COMMITTEE the physical trans
fer of the team and its facili-
ties at Redstone Arsenal in
Huntsville, Ala, cannot take
Iplace until July /.
Mr.. Brucker said passage OF
the resolution would be OF
value to DR.. Won Braun and his
associates, however. The group
has been involved in interserv-
lice rivalry within the Defense
Department and settlement OF
its future would ease the mems
minds, Mr.. Brucker said.
AS part of the Army, the
4,250-man team developed the

that would dump" the wheat
problem on producers of other
commodities or other wheat
exporting countries.
Within these guidelineS, the
President said, he would ap-
prove any of several possible
combinations of price supports
and production controls.
1t was this flexibility of ap-
proach that Republican SEN
ators sought to convince the
White House was necessary in
a conference last week.
They wanted to avoid tying
the G. O. P. unreservedly to the
Presidents own preferred pro-
gram, which would involve a
reduction of about so cents a
bushel in wheat price supports.
Joining the Senators in their
argument, it was reported, was
Vice President Nixon. Mr..
Nixon said last night in Mil
waukee that he had been con-
suited about the Presidents
message, Endorsed it, and hoped
Congress would act on it.
In his message, the Presi-
dent said the wheat program
should be supplemented by a
sharp expansion of the con-
Servation reserve. He recon-
mend that the amount of land
removed from production in re-
turn for Government payments
be increased from % million
acres to so million acres over
the next few years.

BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star stan Writer

The administration proposal
for Federal court referees to
safeguard voting rights was de-
Tended before the House Judi
ciary Committee today by Dep
uty Attorney General Lawrence
E. Walsh as essential for State
as well as Federal elections.
1--WE cannot tolerate Jim
Crow at the ballot box" Mr.
Walsh told the committee. 1T
would be ironic indeed If while
Federal courts assert the lille
gality of segregation in public
schools, railroad waiting rooms,
parks and public golf courses,
it is by Federal legislation ex-
pressly condoned in the voting
place.
State elections may be less
dramatic but they can in reality
be more important than Fed
eral elections. They decide who
will run the schools and who
will enforce the laws, who will
select the juries and who will
be the local Judge.
1T is only in the right to
vote in these elections that
there lies the kernel of hope
for the ultimate eradication OF
racial segregation and the long
awaited fulflllment of a basic
promise that the protection OF
law shall be equal to all"
/ Mr.. Walsh also maintained
in open session after several
members objected to continu-
alton of closed hearing at which
he read a prepared statement
explaining the referee plan.
1 Many of the questions
centered on the proposed ap-
plication to State elections.
Mr.. Walsh denied that this
would amount to Federal en-
croachment on States rights.
He said Congress has not
the authority, but a duty to
protect voting rights, particu-
larly of Negro citizens, under
the 18th amendent. That pro-
hibits States from denying
such rights to persons because
of race.
Mr.. Welsh also maintained
that If Congress passes the
referee provision, Congress will
have given formal recognition
to the existence of a general
pattern of racial discrimination
against voting rights of some
citizens.
The open session lasted well
into the afternoon, when Rep
resentative Willis, Democrat of
Louisiana, asked a series of
questions about practically
every technical and procedural
as well as constitutional aspect
of the plan.
The House Rules Committee
finally started hearing Iast
week on the comparatively mild
House measure. Members pre-
dicted this bill would be cleared
for House debate this month,

scrupulous action.

unlicensed salesman and know
ingly concealing a relationship
in the car-selling business with
any person who within the pre-

determined to have committed

caused a dealer to lose his
license.
7. The machinery is pro-
vided for notifying a dealer OF

A hearing committee to con-

in Brockton, Mass.
He complained that he has
collected only $400, but said
he expects to get the balance
today or tomorrow" as a re-
suit of his appearance before
the subcommittee.
Jointly Sponsored
The party was sponsored
jointly by Dumont Distributors,
Inc, and Radio Station WBZ OF
Boston, he said. Dumont is a
distributor for Epic Records,
a division of Columbia Rec
ords.
Under questioning, Mr.. Lanir
at first insisted the party wa!
only a charity affair.
But. pressed for details, ht
said it basically was a recorc
promotion scheme.
Asked if Epic was involved
Mr.. Lanin replied: Il woulc
presume So" He didn't amplify
but did say that if Dumont
didn't pay the $500 he coulc
collect it from Epic.
The Federal Trade Commits
sion last week filed complaint:
against Dumont and its presi-
dent, Donald Dumont, charging
undercover payola to disc jock
eys and radio stations for song
plugging.
Library Depleted
The committee also was
probing further today into the
way WBZ went about rebuild.
ing its depleted record library
The station reportedly con.
tacted a number of record
manufacturers in New York
and succeeded in obtaining free
records that the committee has
estimated were worth between
$4,000 and $4,000.
William Givens. former mu.
|sical director of WBZ, testified
today that he had tried un-
successfully to obtain the rec
Iords from distributors in the
Boston area. They thought il
would set a "very bad prece-
dent" to give records to sta
ton in such quantities, he said
WBZ's general manager, Pau
G. O'Friel, testified yesterday
that it was the established Gus
tom in the broadcasting in
dustry for record suppliers tt
make large stocks of records
available to stations without
cost.
Representative Mack, Demo.
crat of Illinois, said he regard;
such a custom as a form o1

A WBZ disc jockey, DaviC
Maynard. yesterday admitted
receiving several thousand dol
lars in checks and car pay
ments from four record firms
He accepted the committee
figure of $6,817 for his total

was an expression of appre.

plugging on the air.
Mr.. Maynard was suspended
by the station for five weeks but
is now working as a disc jockey
again in what Mr.. O'Friel de.
scribed in earlier testimony a.

Mr.. Finan pointed out that
he and other Cleveland disc

Smaller distributors like Co.'S

Sured disc jockeys were keeping
an eye on their offerings.
He told the committee Cleve-
land is considered one of the
major ''break-out markets
which set the national taste
for hit records. If a song
catches on in Cleveland, its
popularity will usually spread
quickly to other parts of the
country, Mr.. Finan said.
He took exception to one
check stub produced by the
committee which implied he
had helped promote a record
called "Lolly Pop"

Reaction Divided

Immediate congressional re-
action was along party lines.
Republicans, even those who
have been most critical OF the
Administrators farm policies,
were generally pleased. Demo-
Gratis said they we're diSap-
pointed.
Senator Young, Republican
Of North Dakota, one of the
sharpest party critics, said the
message was much more con-
ciliatory" than he had expected
at one time. He said it leaves
the way open for a new ap-
proach, and predicted Congress
will come up with stop-gap
legislation.
Senator Young favored Eli
Senhower proposals for ad-
vancing farm exports and for
aggressive farm research. After
a White House visit he said Mr..
Eisenhower intends to name
special director to press exports
in a food-for- peace plan.
Senator Mansfield, acting
Democratic leader, objected to
an Eisenhower suggestion for
increasing the soil bank land
retirement program from %
million to so million acres. Sem
ator Mansfield said:
This program is such stu
pendous charge upon the Gov
eminent that we should investi-
gate whether it should even be
continued"
Higher Supports Asked
Senator Mansfield urged
shift to higher price supports
or a two-price plan under which
farmers would receive payments
based on bushels produced
rather than acres planted.
House Republican Leader
Halleck said Mr.. Eisenhower
had put it up to the Demo-
cratic controlled Congress to
do something about what Mr..
Halleck called "the farmer be-
ing low man on the totem pole"
Senate G. o. P. Leader Dirk
sen also said it is now up to the
Democrats to come up with an
alternative if they disagree
with the President.
Senator Aiken Of Vermont,
senior Republican on the Agri-
culture Committee, who has
been critical of farm policy,
called the message the best
farm statement Mr.. Eisenhower
has sent to Congress.

ton reserve. the President said,
would assist the functioning Of
the wheat program he seeks
as well as the corn program

exclusively with the wheat

to press existing programs to
