No Change Seen
When the Senate met at 10
O'Clock this morning Senator
Mansfield told reporters he
knew Of no change over the
week end in the stalemate that
prevented him from getting a.
vote last week on his motion
to take up the satellite bill.
At the start Of today's ses-
sion, Senator McC lellan, chair
man Of the Permanent I'M
vestigations Subcommittee, ex-
planned that his committee has
called witnesses to Washington
to testify about a serious strike
against a New London Comm
company building missile
carrying submarines that form
a vital link in the Nations
security.
The Senator said that twice
the negotiators have worked
out settlements the workers
have rejected. Now, a third set
Element is to be submitted to
the workers at a meeting to-
morrow night.
Senator Mcclellan said his
committee has information that
the settlements have been OBJ
structed by a former president
Of a local union. The Senator
said this party apparently
Yields tremendous influence"
over the men.

Senator Mcclellan also told
the Senate his committee has
been advised that this former
official "haS offered, for a
sum of money and other con-
siderations. to let the agree
ment go through"
In pleading with Senators to
let his committee take testi-
mony today, the Senator said
this report Ought to be ex-
posed or the rumor ought to
be exploded"
Senator Morse stood by his
objection to the Mcclellan
committee meeting, but he ex-
plained later that there is
plenty Of law already on the
books to deal with a situation
such as Senator Mcclellan had
described.
Senator Morse advised the
Headers to send the satellite bill
to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee for further study until
after the November elections
and let the Senate get on with
labor legislation and other i'm
Iportant business.
Found Members, Scattered
Indicating keen disappoint-
ment over what happened in
the Senate Saturday, Senator
Mansfield recalled the appeal
he made to his colleagues Fri
day for courtesy and re-
straint. He said that, when he
described on Friday how the
! Senate could be tied up by its
rules. he had no idea his OBJ
: Servations would be confirmed
so quickly.
Although advance notice had
been given Of the Saturday
session, Senator Mansfield said
Senators were scattered from
coast to coast, land some were
here in town but did not re-
spond." He reminded his col.
} leagues that "the business OF
the Senate is the business Of
it's members"
mo Senator or group of Sen.
ators should put the monke,
on the back of the leadership.
