Fire Breaks Out
On u. S. S. Proteus

GLASGOW, Scotland, Mar
70 (AP). - Fire broke out
aboard the United States Navy
missile depot ship Proteus while
she was on a weekend train
ing cruise in the Irish Sea, a
Navy spokesman reported TO-
day.
The blaze apparently started
in a pile of rags and lumber
left too close to a funnel, an
officer said. The funnel casing
also started to burn.
The 1,000-man crew rushed
to fire stations. A firefighting
team doused the blaze in about
10 minutes, and no one was
injured.
The 18,OO0-ton Proteus is
the depot ship for Polaris-
carrying submarines based at
Holy Loeb on Scotland's West
Coast. This morning she was
back in the loch ready to tie
up at new moorings. She
dragged here previous moorings
in a gale last week.

STORK ESCAPES TWICE
Mothers Give Birth
Despite Two Crashes

Having a baby in Washing
ton yesterday, was like running
an obstacle course. In two sep
arate cases, young mothers rae
ing to the hospital were delayed
by auto accidents.
Although it was practically
photo finish in both cases,
the mothers got to the hospitals
on time and today are happily
getting acquainted with their
newborn infants.
Both accidents happened, po-
lice said, when the men who
were driving the mothers-to-be
went through red lights.
Both mothers were injured,
but made it in time to the
delivery rooms. Each gave birth
to a fine, healthy infants-one
a boy and one a girl.
The first incident happened
at about 2::20 am. yesterday
shortly after Mrs. Charlotte
Sheldon, 30, of 321 Madison
street NV, realized that her
time had come. Her father,
Charles B. Shorter. 81, of 1921
Quackenbos street NV, helped
her into his car and set out

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

earlier is just another chapter
in the tedious and rather sad
story that has lasted nearly
half a century.
Talk Sounds Hollow
Even among the principal
actors there is a certain I'M
usual hollownesS in expressions
of hope about progress on "the
most important problem that
humanity has ever faced" They
are conscious of repeating
themselves. (The phrase
atomic blackmail" recently re-
vived by Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev was first used to de-
nounce the Baruch Plan in
1946.)
The weight of past failures
is oppressive. Even so, there is
among Western delegations
something of an air of bust
nesslike expectancy. Affable and
calm as ever Mr.. Rusk has
plunged briskly into prelimin-
any huddles with Britain's For
eign Secretary Lord Home,
driven off to Lausanne for a
reassuring chat with West Ger
many's Foreign Minister Sch
roeder and entertained Soviet

Ud1 LID III doGlCd1lS
MI. Byrnes lit into Mr.. Ken
nedy's proposals during inter-
rogation of Commerce Secre-
tary Hodges before the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Hodges led off the admin
.iStration's campaign for the
tariff bill by reading a 59-page
statement. He was the first of
more than 200 witnesses sched-
uled to testify in a month of
hearings.
Program Challenged
Accusing the administration
of oversimplifying the complex
issues, MIR. ByrneS said every
one approves the Presidents
goal of expanding world trade,
but he sharply challenged the
program on specifics.
His tone cast doubt on the
validity of optimism expressed
by administration officials on
the bills prospects.
Mr.. Hodges pegged his case
mainly on predictions that freer
trade would bring soaring pros
perity and cold war unity to
the United States and the rest
of the non-Communist world.
If the United States fails to
cut tariffs sharply. he warned,
American profits and employ
ment will suffer and the Com
munists will seize economic
and political advantages.
Mr.. Byrnes drew from the
Secretary the admission that
American tariffs already are
lower on the average than du-
ties levied by most other indus
trial countries.
Lower Tariffs Noted
He noted that the admin
istration last week hailed an
agreement that will reduce
American and European tariffs
on autos and other products.
Even after the reductions, he
said, the duty charged by West
ern Europe's Common Market
on American autos will be %
per cent, while the American
tariff on European autos will
be 61a per cent.
I'm concerned that this bill
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-12

will not do anything to assure
that we really get a quid pro
quo" in bargaining on tariffs,
Mr.. ByrneS said.
In the past, he said, the
United States has failed to
Insist that we get the bargain
ing rights we paid for"
Mr.. Hodges said Mr.. Byrnes
Exaggerated foreign discrimi-
nation against American goods.
He said great progress has been
made eliminating foreign re-
strictions against American ex-
ports and added that the
proposed bill would give the
President bargaining authority
to break down trade barriers
even farther.
Mr.. Byrnes said foreign
countries keep American goods
out through quotas and other
devices, even when they reduce
tariffs.
Other opponents contend that
sharp reduction of tariffs would
ruin many companies and throw
millions of workers out of Jobs.
Replies to Criticism
Replying to this criticism,
Mr.. Hodges declared:
Il am resolved that the Gov
eminent shall take no action
in the field of tariff policy that
will work undue hardship to
United States industry workers
and farmers through unfair
foreign competition"
He pledged that any tariff
reductions made by the United
States will be "the product of
hard negotiation in which con-
ceSSionS will not be made
except in return for concessions
of equal or greater value to
Mr.. Hodges said the existing
Reciprocal Trade Agreement
Act, which will expire June 80,
is outmoded and incapable of
winning for the United States

world trade.

his hotel during a cautiously
cordial opening round of talks.
Like Bring Circus
Quiet clearly Mr.. Rusk has
come to Geneva in a receptive
mood anxious to avoid a propa-
ganda picnic and willing to go
as far along any road as his
allies and opponents will go
with him. But quite clearly also
he is under no illusions about
the prospects or the fact that
Mr.. Gromyko alone holds the
key to success or failure during
the coming days.
In fact it is not just one key
but several. The conference that
is getting under way here has all
the confusion of a three-ring
circus. And between the three
rings-plus a number of posi-
BILE assorted side acts-virtually
every phase of East-WeSt rela-
tons and the cold war will be
covered.
The first ring, which already
is going full blast, is the eff
fort by the West to work out
an acceptable nuclear test ban
treaty with the Russians. This
effort. which always has been
looked on as an essential first
step to any general disarma-
ment plan, was broken off
January 20 after more than
three years of negotiations. In
the final phases of these three
power talks at Geneva, the
Russians, having completed
their serieSs of nuclear tests,
rejected most of the provisions
of the draft treaty that already
had been agreed to.
The most important new ele-
ment which has entered the
picture since then is the deci-
sion of the United States to
resume its own nuclear test
program in April unless a treaty
is accepted by Russia in the
meantime. Both the decision
and the offer are quite serious.

believe Russia has achieved any

Rusk and Gromyko
Probe INTO Issues
Meet Before
Arms Talks
At Geneva
BY JOHN NJ. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Staff Writer

GENEVA, Mar. IL. - United
States Secretary of State Dean
Rusk and Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrea Gromyko met to-
day to sound each other out on
conflicting East-West positions
on Berlin. nuclear testing and
disarmament.
British Foreign Minister Lord
Home bowed out temporarily
and let Mr.. Rusk press the
Western views on the issues.
The three-hour discussions
took place over long lunch at
the Soviet villa. Both Mr.. Rusk
and Mr.. Gromyko were accom-
panied by experts.
Because of the length of the
discussion, the Berlin review
presumably went further than
a mere repetition of previous
United States complaints over
Soviet harrassment tactics in
the air corridors to the isolated
city.
More Talks Tomorrow
The United States in the past
has proposed putting the ac-
cess routes to Berlin under in
ternational supervision, but this
has been rejected by the Rus
slams. Whether Mr.. RuSk went
into detail on the American
proposal could not be deter
mined Immediately.
The discussions will be con-
tinued tomorrow when Mr..
Gromyko is luncheon guest of
Mr.. Rusk, informed sources
said.
A British spokesman said
Lord Homes temporary with
draWal from the foreign min
listers sessions was a logical
development since the Ameri-
cans and the British are speak,
ing in Geneva with one voice.
Mr.. Rusk, Mr.. Gromyko and
Lord Home-here for the OPEN
ing of the 17-nation disarma-
ment conference Wednesday,
conferred last night at dinner
but reports were that little
progress was made.
Rising Tensions Feared
The Western Allies called on
Russia to stop harassing Allied
air traffic to Berlin lest in
creasing tensions there en-
danger the disarmament nego-
tiations.
Mr.. Gromyko denied knowl-
edge of Soviet interference in
the Berlin air corridors.
Mr.. Rusk also told Mr.. Gro
myko the United States and
Britain would like to get to
work promptly on a nuclear
test ban treaty.
The Soviet Foreign Minister
dimmed hopes for a quick
agreement by raising the old
spy-scare issue to counter
President Kennedy's demand
that ironclad inspection pro-
visions be written into any
treaty.
Mr.. Rusk again warned Mr..
fGromyko that unless an agree
ment can be reached blythe
middle of April, the United
States will go ahead with a
series of nuclear atmospheric
tests in the Central Pacific.
Lord Home supported the
United States stand.

with their interpreters spent

Bid 10 Abolish
Poll Tax Faces
Senate Vote
Mansfield Action
Expected to Set OFF
Civil Rights Fight
BY j. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer


In surprise move, Senate
Democratic Leader Mansfield
announced today he will seek
a vote this week on a con-
stitutional amendment to abol-
ish the poll tax. This could
precipitate a far-ranging de-
bate on civil rights.
Until today it had appeared
that the only action on civil
rights this year would be an
attempt in April to pass bill
to curb literacy tests for voters.
Senator Mansfield told re-
porters he still plans to handle
the issue of literacy tests
separately as a bill and not
involve it in the more cumber-
some process Of amending the
Constitution.
Other Maneuvers Seen
But once the poll tax amend
ment is taken up, it is con-
ceivable that other Senators
may offer other constitutional
amendments d e aling either
with civil rights or other
subjects.
Although Southern Demo-
Gratis object to any Federal laws
affecting voting rights as an
infringement on States rights.
they have taken a milder at
titude toward getting rid of
the poll tax by amending the
constitution.
In fact, the poll tax amend
ment is sponsored by a South
erner, Senator Holland of
Florida. 1t passed the Senate
in 1860 by a vote of 72-16, as
part of a three-part constitu-
tional amendment resolution.
Senate Virtually Idle
But the House dropped the
poll tax and another amend
ment to regulate the filling of
House vacancies if an atomic
attack or other disaster should
decimate the House. In 1860
the House agreed only to the
third proposed change enabl-
ing Washingtonians to vote for
President.
The decision to call up the
poll tax issue tomorrow or
Wednesday came as the Senate
was virtually idle, waiting for
major bills to arrive from the
House.
The poll tax proposal is still
in a Judiciary subcommittee,
but the leaders will bypass the
committee and offer it as an
amendment to some minor bill
on the calendar.
1t will require a two-thirds
vote to pass a constitutional
amendment, and if the House
agrees, three-fourthS of the
states must ratify it.
In Use in Five States
Only five States still require
a poll tax in Federal elections:
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi
Texas and Virginia.
A House Judiciary subcom-
mittee, meanwhile, was told to-
day that only Alabama and
Mississippi now use the poll tax
as a discriminatory device
against Negroes.
Represen a tive McCul-
loch, Republican of Ohio, also
said that Negroes encounter no
significant "racially motivated
impediments" to voting in Ar
kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and
Virginia.
Mr.. McCulloch testified as
the subcommittee began hear
ings on House bills to abolish
poll taxes as a requirement for
voting in Federal elections.
He cited a 1861 Civil Rights
Commission report as authority
for his statements.
Mr.. McCulloch said he IA
vored the legislation but claimed
a constitutional amendment to
wipe out the poll tax would
benefit only about 470,000 per-
sons at most in Alabama and
Mississippi.
