Congress Quits
ToC|ear Path
For Campaign
Senate Talks On
Until 11:5l PM;
Sugar Quote Dies
By j. A. OLEARY
Star staff Writer

ONN~--
Members of Congress head
ed for home and the campaign
trail today after finally ad-
journing last night.
Although the Presidents re-
quest for authority to cut the
Dominican Republics sugar
quota was killed, there were no
signs today that Mr.. Eisen-
hover would exercise his con-
stitutional power to call Con-
gress back.
Barring some national emer-
gency which would justify a
special session, the lawmakers
are through until the new 87th
Congress meets in January.
The House closed up shop at
6:52 yesterday evening, but the
Senate, which enjoys unlim-
tied debate, dragged on until
1i:51-nine minutes before it
would have been automatically
out of business under the ad-
journment resolution adopted
earlier.
Quorum Shaky
Most of the Senate's final
session was devoted to efforts
to round up a quorum so that
Majority Leader johnson of
Texas and Minority Leader
Dirksen of Illinois could make
their political summations of
the short, post-convention ses-
sion.
From now until election day
the argument will continue out
on the hustings over the rec
ords made during the last four
years by the Democratic con-
trolled Congress and the Re-
publican controlled executive
branch.
The session which began Au-
gust 8 was marked by disap-
pointments for both parties
and demonstrated again that
it is difficult for Congress to
legislate after the national
conventions in an election year.
The session produced a mod
crate, State-controlled plan of
medical care for the aged, a
$3.7 billion foreign aid appro-
priation, an extension of ex-
piring features of the housing
program and money bills for
several other agencies.
Bill Fails
But the medical care bill did
not contain the social security
type of financing favored by the
Kennedy-Johnson Democratic
ticket, and the Massachusetts
Senator also failed to get
through an improved mini
mum-wage law.
Southern Democrats, dissat-
isfied with their party's plat
form, played a major part IN
enabling the Republicans to
shape the course of the special
session.
Republicans forced the Dem
ocratS to table a civil rights
bill, which would have tied up
the Senate in endless debate
during the short session.

Bar |ndorses
District Vote
Amendment Wins
Delegates Booking
BY CARL IRVING
Star Stad Writer

The American Bar Associa-
ton today officially indorsed a
national vote for the District at
the concluding session of the
ABA's 83d annual convention
here.
The House of Delegates,
policy-making body of the as
sociation, voted So to 33 to sup
port the constitutional amend
ment approved by Congress in
June and now before the States
for ratification. The vote REIN
forced a similar Endorsement
given yesterday by the full as
Sembly of the convention.
The amendment, which would
let District residents vote for
President and Vice President,
must be approved by two thirds
Of the State legislatures before
it becomes law. Bar members
who sponsored the resolution
said the associations indorse-
ment should provide a strong
boost for State ratification of
the measure.
Members Surprised
When the resolution was in
troduced on the assembly floor
yesterday, ABA leaders were
taken by surprise. Some men,
bers who opposed the resolution
said they did so on parliament
tary grounds.
Delegate Edward L. Cannon
of Raleigh, N. c., raised the
same issue this morning. j.
Garner Anthony Of Honolulu
replied that the same point
of order was defeated in 1857
when the House of Delegates
Endorsed statehood for Hawaii.
The vote followed his speech.
The ABA's new president,
Whitney North Seymour of New
York, who took Office at the
final convention assembly to-
day, said after the meeting that
he personally favored tn e
amendment.
District Bar Association Pres
ident Richard w. Galiher
hailed the vote. He noted that
the local bar previously had in
dorsed the proposed amend
ment.

a third bus to handle the people
wanting to leave for New York

He added that the line will
keep adding buses during the
day as they are needed ano
that "all available buses will
be put into service by the emo
of the day" to handle the holi-
day travellers.
Major airlines flying north
said they were able to provide
space for strike-bound trair
passengers on most of theil
regular flights yesterday.
But they all reported almost
solid" bookings for the Labor
Day week end.
Mail Is RerOuted
ut could get rough before
the week end is over if a lot
of people decide they want tC

said.
We'll have everything that
can get off the ground in the
air to accommodate our book
ings, so don't know how we
could handle an unusually large
number of laSt-minute travel
ers," he added.
Flights Added
American Airlines said il
planned to add two extra round
trip flights today between
Washington and New York tc
handle the holiday crowd. Ma
tional Airlines planned to ado
one extra flight late in the
day and Northeast Airlines said
it was substituting DC-6 planes
for Viscounts on certain north
bound flights to increase pas
senger capacity from A to II.
Eastern Air Lines reported
that it had everything we owr
flying right now" Capital Air
lines, which has three flights to
New York and two to Phila-
delphia daily, said it did not
plan to add extra sections.

Shift to Buses, Planes
He pointed out that five other
railroads use the station but
the public is aware that they
just can't go north out of Wash
ington by rail now so they are
switching from trains to other
means of transportation or are
going around Washington.
The Richmond, Fredericks-
burg & Potomac Railroad, for
example, has consolidated its
II runs out of Washington into
six daily runs, he said.
While the employees at Union
Station had little to do, bus and
airline terminal employees here
found themselves working hard
to keep the flow of passengers
moving.
I'VE have put on at least 60
extra sections going north since
the strike at midnight Wednes-

U. N. Stops
Flying Out
Wounded

AEOHO11JV4 LILLE, CIle Congo,
Sept. 2 (AP). - A flareup of
bloody fighting between Con-
golese soldiers and partisans in
Kasai Province has claimed at
least 270 lives in the town of !
Bakwanga, the United Nations
reported today.
U. N. officials reported scores
of corpses strewn on the streets
on Bakwanga, capital of the
seccessionist so-called Mineral
State in Kasai. Many were mu-
tilated by blows from knives
and maehetes.
The U. N. spokesman said one
U. N. plane transported two
wounded Congolese soldiers
from the scene. The U. N. task
force commander, Gen. Carl
Won Horn. gave a categorical
order that all such transport
be stopped.
Heavy Firing Reported
The U. N. spokesman said
CongoleSe troops and their op-
ponentS, supporters of Kasai
leader Albert Kalonji. have
access to supplies of arms and
ammunition"
A garrison of 125 Tunisian
United Nations soldiers barri-
caded the local club where 110
surviving Belgian residents
hovered in panic. According to
United Nations reports, almost
constant firing went on in
Bakwanga.
There was shooting for hours
on end" a United Nations off,
cial said" Both sides were
heavily armed. They even had
mortars."
u. N. Troops Fire
In another Congo clash u. N.
troops were forced to open fire
for the first time and the first
casualty was attributed to
! them.
Moroccan troops fired on a
group of attacking armed civil
ians south of Thysville yester-
day and killed one person, a
u. N. spokesman announced to-
day. Thysville is some 100 miles
southwest of Leopoldville.
Few details concerning the
action are available, the spokes-
man said.
The attack occurred at Moe
berck, south of the garrison
town of Thysville, where Con-
golese troops mutinied shortly
after independence was de-
clared here June 80.
The spokesman said the
Moroccans deployed in that
area were trying to disarm the
civilians. They fired in the air
first but finally were forced to
shoot at the attackers.
Assassination Threat
On the political front, the
Congolese government charged
that the opposition Puma Party
had threatened to assassinate
President Joseph Kasavubu and
Premier Patrice Lumumba..
A government spokesman
said Jean Bolikango, leader of
the Puma Party and one of Mr..
Lumulnba's principal political
rivals, was arrested last night
near Lisala in his native Equa-
tor Province.
The 60-year-old Bolikango,
who is leader of the Bangala
River People tribe, was brought
by plane to Leopoldville and
held in Camp Leopold II, mill
tary headquarters for the Con-
golese army.
The government spokesman

Kennedy said, Ito establish de-

Rebuffed in Congress
Senator Kennedy tried to per-
suade this special session of
Congress to raise the present
minimum wage of 81 an hour to
81 .25, and to extend it to four
million persons not covered now,

ASMARA, Ethiopia. Dec. II
(APJ. - The Ethiopian coup

ger style. according to In
formants in. Asmara.
Wednesday night all leading
Ethiopians in Adds Ahaba were
called to the imperial palace
under the pretense that the
Empress was critically i'll.
When about 100 officials had
gathered they were surrounded
by soldiers Of the Ernperor's
boayguard and young intellec-
tuaiS. One hour later the
revolutionary government was
proclaimed.
The Empress and Crown
Prince Asia Wassan were still
being held in the palace by the
revolutionaries when Emperor
Halle Selassie returned to the
country Friday.
He was given a welcome such
as ASmara had never seen be-
fore. There was nothing lack

and telephone posts. Women
cried and children cheered.
The city was still celebrating
several hours after the arrival.
The Emperor was met at the
airport by a guard of honor
In steel helmets, an army band,
priests Of the Coptic Christian
Church and diplomats In morn
ing clothes.
The advance rumor Of Halle
Selassie's arrival in Asmara
spread fast. People took oil
from work and marched on the
airport 2 miles outside the city.
There were schoolchildren
with flags, priests with colorful
umbrellas and civil servants.
There were Ethiopian mothers
carrying their children on their
backs and American soldiers
from the communications CEN
ter at Kagnew.
When the imperial plane
rolled in a deafening cheering
broke out. Women made shrill
sounds, children jingled bells
and the more dignifled ap-
plauded.
