Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen and Democratic Sena,
tor Russell Of Georgia rallied
to the defense Of the Senate
today against the charges
leveled at it yesterday by Sena.
tor Clark, Democrat of Penn
Sylvania.
Senator Clark accused top
ranking members of three
major committees with staging
a sit-down strike against Pres
ident Kennedy's legislative pro-
gram.
Senator Russell called it g
part of the constant effort by
some groups, including Amer
leans for Democratic Action
to "discredit Congress.
The Georgian said these
groups take the position that
unless you agree with their
views you ought to be abo-
lished."
Criticism Is Customary
Senator Dirksen sought to
show that it has been custom
airy to criticize Congress since
the earliest days of the Repub-
lie.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield said many specific
questions were raised by Sena-
tor Clark with which he dis
agrees, but he said he appre-
ciated the Clark speech and
thought it was worthy of con-
sideration because 1t would
"deflate any tendency toward
complacency." There is al
ways room for Improvement
he added.
The Democratic leadsr also
served notice that when the
Senate meets Monday he in
tends to make an extended
speech on the state of the
Congress, the Senate and its
leadership"
Senator Mansfield took the
unusual step of getting UNI
animous consent for a live
quorum call on Monday be
cause I believe some of the
things which I have to say are
or ought to be of interest to
the members of this body"
Republic Is Robust
Senator Clark walked onto
the floor in time to hear SEN
ator Dirksen say that in 1894
the Senate was attacked in the
press as "the greatest time
killer of modern days"
The Minority leader stopped
there.
It will finish this speech
when 1 really get steamed UP,
the Illinois Republican told his
colleagues. Il just make ont
point-we have heard criticisms
that we are an archaic, obSolett
machine. Yet, the Republic il
pretty robust. The Senate o.
the United States is also pretty
rugged and robust"
Senator Clark said hi
regretted his absence because
of committee work.
"I will say that if the Senate
had a sensible rule of gernane'
ness, the Senator from Illinoi!
never would have been able Il
make his speech at ALL" Sena'
tor Clark said.
Then, he reminded Senators
they could have considered thu

said.
He asked Senator Dirksen if
he might have the whip given
the Minority Leader by his
friends to salute his leadership.
It would be useful in training
bulls, said Senator Morse.
/ Senator Clark aimed his at
tack yesterday at the senior
members in both parties on the
Finance Committee, which has
the tax bill; on the Judiciary
Committee, which has civil
rights legislation, and on the
Appropriations Committee,
which still has work to do on
eight out of IL money bills.
/ To punctuate his protest,
Senator Clark filed motions to
take the tax bill away from the
Finance Committee and to
discharge the Appropriations
Committee from further con-
sideration of the State Justice
Commerce money bill.
Passage Doubted
Both resolutions will have to
await a new legislative day.
which will not be this week.
But it is a safe prediction that
whenever they are considered,
the resolutions will not pass.
If that attempt fails, he
said, then a discharge petition
should be filed.
1t is generally conceded by
most lawmakers that the tax
bill will not be on the floor
until next year, and that
neither branch Of Congress;
will act on civil rights legisla-
ton this year.
The few remaining weeks be-
fore Congress quits for Christ
mas will be devoted to an effort
to move the eight appropria-
tions bills that should have
passed by July /.
Senator Clark's speech was

paign he launched last Febru-
airy against what he described
as the Senate establishment, u

of both parties who control

MR.. MADURO: Mr.. Chairman, I would just like

hearing that was held last night in St. Croix. In st.
Croix last night the people turned out in droves. Iven-

people. The hall was packed and people were standing

la later flight. They eventually decided that the Two
should go, and those were the last two passengers that
went on board Caribair that afternoon.
But then Caribair tries to tell me that there was
only d passengers, which proves that / was late, is a
false statement, Mr.. Chairman. On many occasions Ca
ribair has told people that they have to be on the wait
ing list as a standby. You find that when you do get on
the plane, the plane is only half-filled. 1t further goes
on and states that they are enclosing photocopies of your
ticket showing your clear confirmation on Carlbalr
flight No. 154, as well as your check-in slip clearly show
ing the officially recorded check-in time. The letter is
here, Mr.. Chairman qnolding up and displaying letter

not find any coy showing that had a confirmed ticket
on Flight No. 154.

and states that they now have two additional flights on,
which I'm most happy to know, and the taxi people and
the hotel people tell me that the traffic has increased
tremendously.
This afternoon, we four senators are trying to get
back to St. Croix and we find that the two flights this
afternoon are filled up. This again j~ustifies my state
ment that Caribair needed to provide better transport

EDITORIAL
CARNIVAL ISLANDS BIGGEST EVENT

THE CARNIVAL in St. Thomas has reached the point
where it is noted on the mainland, and many look forward to
it. It is listed among the many events taking place in many
parts OF the world as attractions. Under these circumstances
it is only natural that its continued success is a must. Nothing
should be done to impair its effectiveness. To the contrary
everyone looks to bigger and better things,
HAVING ACHIEVED status and permanence, the Car
nival is almost taken for granted. 1t is therefore with some
disappointment that people will read Of problems being con
fronted at the very outset Of its planning for this year. These
ought to be noned out quickly, for certainly no real progress
can be made under these conditions.
THE CARNIVAL in time should become an al[iSlandS
project. and the reasons are many. First, these Islands are a
single political entity. The reader on the mainland and else
where understands these Islands to be one, and would be CON
fused if he has to diferentiate between activities on each
island as separated from the others. Second, the size and i'm
nortance of the Carnival should take it out Of its confinement
to a single town.
PERHAPS no single event attracts more tourists to these
Islands, and especially St. Thomas, than the Carnival People
everywhere look forward to il, and plan for it. And they come
for it. An entire Island bends all its efforts to giving it the sta
ture and magnitude of any carnival to be found anywhere,
and for this the founders and those who have worked with it
deserve the fullest. credit. But we believe it is time to move
out and beyond.
NOR is this to say that the Havor, or anything else OF tne
Carnival, is to be lost. Nothing of the sort. The other Islands
can be brought into this project by representation on its steer
ing committees. In cooperation with the committee and the
airlines, steamship companies, and the like, special trips and
programs could be arranged, and the timing and scheduling
SO arranged as to afford side trips to the other Islands.
THIS IS NOT a new thought. 1t has been expressed
before. 1t is hoped that as time passes the idea will catch on,
and the Carnival extended in such a manner that it becomes a

Donovan Optimistic

1900 Russians Left
During the same period, ac-
cording to the intelligence
summary, Russian military
manpower in Cuba mounted
from a pre-July figure of SOC
to a total of about $4,000 by
late October.
This Soviet military strength
was cut by around 5000 mer
when Mr.. Khrushchev pulled
out his missiles and bombers
The withdrawal of the mer
assigned to those weapons
however, leaves an estimated

Most Of the new equipment

The special program is being

for Cuban refugees.
State Department officials
said yesterday the ex-prisoners
themselves will be consulted
before final decisions are made
on the specific provisions of
the plan. The program is to
be tailored to the Cuban vet

The aim, officials said, is to
be sure that all possible help
is made available to the vet

Informants reported that no
new legislation will be required
from Congress. They said there
is ample authority under exist
ing Cuban refugee aid pro-
grams to work out rehabilita-
ton plans for the veterans.
Officials working on the pro-
gram said that available au-
thority for Cuban refugee aid
includes family grants up to

grants up to $50, hospitaliza- :
