Eisenhower Policies
Criticized in Report.

Continued From First Page
strive for an effective space
program. the report said, sis the
factor of national prestige"
Space exploration and en-
ploitS," it added, have captured
the imagination of the peoples
Of the world. During the next
few years the prestige of the
United States will in part be
determined by the leadership
we demonstrate in space activi-
ties"
} Among specific recomn enda-
tions in the report were these:
/. Make the Space Council
Ito be headed by Vice Presi-
dent-elect Johnson an effec-
tive agency for managing the
national space prograin"-with
responsibility for setting any
conflicts between NASA and the
Defense Department.
2. End overlapping activities
in this field among the mill
tary services by giving one
service or agency in the
Pentagon responsibility for all
military space developments.
3. Provide "a vigorous, imag.
inative and technically com
petent top management for
NASA," including the admins
traitor and his deputy and four
technical directorS-for propul-
sion and vehicles, for the scien-
tific program, for the -milt-
tary space applications and for
aerodynamic and aircraft pro-
grams.
Important for Security
The report stressed that "for
the near future" the balliStie
missile program "is much more
important for the Nations
security than are most of the
space objectiveS."
Development Of missiles and
associated control systems, base
construction and missile pro-
curement must all be acceler-
ated If we are to have the secure
missile deterrent force that the
country has been led to ex-
pect," it added.
At least part of the reason
for America tagging in the
ballistic missile field, the re-
port said. stems from the dis
traction within the Defense De-
partment and in industry
caused by vast new space pro-
jects."
1t went on:
"The inability OF our rockets
to lift large payloads into space
is the key to the serious limita-
tions Of our space program.
1T is the reason for the
current Russian advantage in
undertaking manned space
flight and a variety of un-
named missions. AS a conse-
quence. the rapid development
Of boosters with a greater
weight-lifting capacity is a
matter of national urgency"
Current Plans Cited
1t noted that current plans
call for the first substantial
increase in "payload" with the
addition of the Centaur upper
stage to the Atlas rocket in
1862, followed by a second big
step with the Saturn booster
in 1865.
While development of the
Saturn booster-a cluster of
eight Atlas engines-should
still be pushed vigorously, the
report said 1T would be dam
gerous to rely on Saturn alone
for our problems" 1t said the
Saturn system is 80 complex
that there is a real question
whether it can be made to
function reliably"
1t called for careful study of
proposals to use a large num-
ber Of small nuclear bombs for
rocket propulsion.

Mansfield
Sees Rules as
Issue Again

Majority Leader Mansfield
Of Montana said today he be-
lieves the Senate will get q
chance later this year to con-
slider new anti -filibuster rules,
on which action was postponed
yesterday.
But all indications are the
issue will not arise again until
most Of the Kennedy legislative
program has been considered.
BY a vote of 50 to 46, the
Senate disposed of the trouble
some issue for the time being
by referring two proposed
changes to the Rules Commit
tee for hearings and report.
One Of the new rules would
have allowed q majority Of 81
Senators to break q filibuster
by limiting debate. The other
would have fixed the number of
votes required to curb debate
at three-fifths of those present,
which would be so If all Sena-
tors were accounted for.
Liberal Gains Shown
The existing rule requires
two-thirdS to curb debate, or
Ct If all Senators are voting.
The liberals have been fighting
to reduce this requirement be-
cause they say experience has
demonstrated that two-thirds
is seldom attainable.
Although yesterdays vote
was a setback for the liberals
in both parties. 1t showed they
have made substantial gains
since 1859. when they mus
tered only SO votes on a similar
test Of strength.
In yesterdays showdown, 80
Democrats and 18 Republicans
voted to send the changes to
committee. while 81 Democrats
and Is Republicans voted with
the liberals.
Senator Russell. Democrat
OF Georgia. leader of the
Southerners who oppose any
further limitations on debate
called the vote a victory for
the dignity and prerogatives
Of the Senate.
Raps Nixon
The Georgian also called the
vote q rebuke Of the position
taken by Vice President Nixon,
who had voiced the opinion
that q majority Of the Senate
may change its rules at the
start Of a Congress without
being subject to the two-thirds
requirement to force a vote.
Senator Russell said he is
glad" that Mr.. Nixon will be
gone shortly" and added that
no Vice President from now
on can have as little respect
for the Senate as a parlia-
mentary institution"
Senator Javits, Republican
OF New York, a leading ad-
vocate Of new rules, said yes
terday's vote was "a terrific
roadblock" in the way Of any
change. But he said he was
encouraged by the close divi-
sion and said the fight must
go on.
Rauh Hits Mansfield
Joseph L. Raugh, vice chair
man Of Americans for Demo-
cratic Action. issued a state
ment accusing Senator Mans
field Of "betraying the Demo-
cratic Party platform and the
civil rights forces which worked
their hearts out for Senator
Kennedy"
Despite the setback, Mr.. Rauh
said, the civil rights forces will
keep on fighting for legislation
to make the goal of true equal
ity for all Americans reality"
The fear Of the liberals is
that when the changes are
reported back from the Rules
Committee they may not be
able to muster two-thirds to
force a vote if opponents
stage a filibuster.
Senator Republican Leader
Dirksen, defending existing
rules. said that in 1887 the
late President Roosevelt would
have been able to pack the
Supreme Court with new
members in 48 hours If it had
not been for the freedom of
debate permitted in the Sem
ate,

County. 1t was certainly the

Address Delayed
The popular Senator's address
was delayed more than an hour
because of a traffic jam that
backed cars up more than two
miles along Old Georgetown rd.
The Senator, who displayed a
keen sense of humor, told the
attentive audience, so per cent
of whom were young people of
college age, that he had seen a
groundswell of conservatism
among the young people in his
travels across the country. He
likened it to the swing to the
more liberal thinking among
students some 80 years ago
when he was in college. Now the
swing is in the opposite direc-
ton, he said.
