Star Staff Writer

Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, chairman of
the Senate Subcommittee on
Constitutional Rights. was on
record today as believing Con-
gress cannot curb literacy tests
for voters without amending
the Constitution.
He made his position known
as he prepared to start six
days Of hearings Tuesday on
bills which would prevent any
State from requiring more than
a sixth grade education as a
literacy test.
Senator Erwin promised to
give the supporters and oppo-
nents of such a law adequate
opportunity to be heard. But
he expressed the hope that if
the Senate decides to act on
the question it will do so by
constitutional amendment.
Poll Tax Action Indefinite
Meanwhile, the Senate re-
cesSed until Monday with no
assurance of how soon it will
reach a final vote on a related
change in the Constitution to
outlaw the poll tax in the five
States which still use it as a
requirement for voting.
These States are Virginia,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama
and Texas.
Although Senate leaders hope
to pass the poll tax amendment
next week, the Southerners
who oppose it apparently have
not yet decided whether they
will wage an about fight to
prevent a vote.
If the poll tax resolution
reaches a vote, its passage seems
assured. It passed the Senate
two years ago by a vote of u

to 16, but died in the House.
Indications are the House would
act on 1t this year If it gets
through the Senate. o.
In his state of the Union
message, President Kennedy
singled out the poll tax and lit
eracy tests as two restrictions
on voting that should be dealt
with in Congress this year.
Mr.. Kennedy renewed his ap-
peal for action on the poll tax
in a letter made public yester-
day by Senator Holland, Demo-
crat of Florida.
Set "Literacy" Gallup
Administration leaders in the
Senate believe literacy tests
can be curbed without amend
ing the Constitution and have
promised to call up a literacy
bill next month, after the Erwin
subcommittee completes its
hearings.
In the House, however, there
is still some doubt whether
literacy tests will be handled
as a bill or as a constitutional
amendment.
In any event, the literacy
bill promises to provoke the
major fight over civil rights
in the Senate next month. This
was born out yesterday by the
announcement of Senator Keat-
ing. Republican of New York,
that he will try to broaden
the literacy bill to deal with a,
comprehensive package of new
civil rights proposals. The
package probably will include
measures to expedite school in.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Officials, Expecting Conventional War,
Believed Fovoring Further Arms Aid

that in the Forthcoming
negotiations for renewal Of
the agreements for our bases
in this country we intend to
be much tougher" than we
were in 1858: that there are
influential personages, espe-
cially some Of President Ken
nedy's professional advisers.
who have now branched into
the military and strategic
field and are now pushing the
theory that since the advent
of missiles, the air and naval
bases in Spain are far less
important than they were 10
years ago. It is suggested
that the American taxpayer
may be saved a wad Of money
by drastically curtailing our
commitments here.
This is contrary to the
views Of most military men
who discount the likelihood
of a nuclear war but believe
that improved" conventional
wars are more likely. Com
petent military officers, in
Guiding Ell Caudillo. are
convinced Of this. They want
the United States to increase
its military aid to Spain in
order to permit the Spanish
forces to organize additional
divisions equipped with the
latest available weapons.
The Spanish government
and its people are more than
anxious to continue the
closest possible relationship
with the United States. But
those who guide our foreign
policies should remember that
Spain is no longer as de-
pendent on American assist
ance as she was 10 years ago.
A new, strong Europe is
now emerging - a Europe
which will in the near future
be fully competent to take
care of itself and to stem the
Red tide regardless Of the
uncertainties and vagaries Of
what Gen. de Gaulle calls the
"Anglo-Saxon" policies.
Although Spain does not
belong to the NATO because
of the objections Of Norway.
Iceland and Belgium, it will
take time before her economy
can be readjusted to become
a member Of the European
Economic Market.

PERFECT WORKING CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE AIRLINE ACCIDENTS

WASHINGTON lR = Some air accidents may happen because pilots enjoy what appears to be the ultimate working conditions" and are lulled into inattention, Navy psychologist suggested yes terday
 Our next goal will be to find ways of improving the pilots situa- tion by making it less perfect" said Richard Trumbill, Director of Psychological Sciences for the Off, flee of Naval Research (ONR).
 "In other words, we will seek ways of keeping man alive by keeping him alert.'
 Trumbulls views, spelled out in an ONR publication, were directed to the problems of Naval aviation but have obvious application to commercial flying as well.
 He noted that in spite of re- markable advances in aircraft de- sign, and what he called human engineering, plane accidents con- tinued to occur, "in some respects at a surprisingly high rate''
 In view of such advances, Trum- bull said, it may seem paradoxical that accidents occur because of pilot error, even in perfect flying weather.
