House Judiciary subcommit-
tee m m bers said today
they would approve a civil
rights bill within the next 10.
days and that Republican Rep
resentative McCulloch of Ohio
would be the key to its con-
tents.
The section on racial dis
elimination in public accom-
modations is the last major
hurdle. Unlike other sections
which the subcommittee tenta-
lively made stronger than
Pre- sid e n t Kennedy'S recon-
mendationS, this one seemed
likely to be considerably modi-
fled. A few of the earlier
approved provisions also might
be softened.
ReSuming closed sessions
today the subcommittee, headed
by Judiciary Committee Chair
man Celler, Democrat of New
York, hopes to finish its work
this week.
In any event, members
voiced confidence they would
send a measure to the full
committee by early next week.
They estimated the committee
would need about three weeks
to consider it.
McCullOch Stand Unknown
Mr.. McCulloch, ranking Re-
publican on the subcommittee
and the full committee, has
not announced his specific
stand on statutory proposals
to curb discrimination in places
such as hotels, theaters, stores
and other establishment pro-
viding goods or services to the
public.
He was authoritatively re-
ported today to be firmly
against loading up" the bill
with so many controversial
provisions that it might have
great trouble getting through
the House and no chance at
all in the Senate. Mr.. McCul-
loch repeatedly fears that
uncompromising opponents of
the bill would like nothing
better than to make it as con-
troversial as possible.
He is understood to be in
siSting, despite pressures from
all sides, that a strong and |
far-reaching but realisticI
measure be produced by the
subcommittee and full COM
mittee. He has said he wants
the House this year to pass
the most comprehensive civil |
rights bill in almost a century,
and base it on broadest possible
constitutional grounds.
Against Broad Scope
But he made clear to asso-
ciates that he sees nothing to
be gained, and perhaps every
thing to be lost, by trying to
push through sweeping legisla-
ton which many moderates
might challenge and which !
merely would add fuel to a
Senate filibuster.
This raised a distinct pos
sibility that the subcommittee
this week might be unable to
agree on any public accom-
modations section, or at the
most restrict it to only a few
establishments.
Such a development would
not reflect on Mr.. McCulloch'S
efforts to obtain equitable and
workable civil rights legisla-
ton. Early this year he led
some 40 other House Repub-
licans in introducing a bill that
went much farther than Presi-
dent Kennedy's legislative pro-
posals at that time. To some
extent they also were broader
than the revised recommended
ton Mr.. Kennedy made in
June.
The McCulloch measure did

On returning, we had to wait

intense period Of interviews

The clandeStine organizations
offered great intelligence serv-
ice. Many were the public

which were formed about the

Of Russian troops.

ference held for that purpose,
we denounced the arsenal Of

Of the Russian troops.

Conclusions

First: The United States
have been the victims of a mas
ter move (play) by the Rus
Second: With the United
States immobilized and Cuba
caught in the strange discord
of the psychological war be-
tween two large world powers,
1t has become necessary also to
immobilize the Cuban patriots.
Third: heroic and martyred
Cuba, abused and starving, has
been used as a card in the ne
gotiating. despite the American
Monroe Doctrine and the
often repeated offers Of Coop
alton received by me.
Fourth: that the office Of the
co-ordinator of Cuban affairs
recently was created and its
agency in Miami Is carrying
out a rapid liquidation Of the
Cuban case. These, in all
their crude reality. are the
facts. American govern
ment policy has shifted sud-
denly, violently and unexpect-
eddy. No power can twist
the destiny Of our country, be-
cause our freedom is not and
never will be, negotiable.

Some Rough Times

1862, we had a long and very
pleasant interview with Secre-
tary Of State Rusk for q brief
ing on the policy to be developed
at the Conference Of Ministers
which was to take place at
Punta del Este, Uruguay.
After analyzing the position
OF all nations, he politely put an
end to the interview with these

the attorney general (on April

me to go with him to the Presi-
dents house. I went, as on
previous occasions, with DR..
Ernesto de Aragon. Richard N.
Goodwin was there. The inter-
view with the President lasted
one hour. It was a satisfactory
meeting :.
The conversation was lively
and he (Kennedy) assured me
that the problem Is essential

should contribute the major

we should not adopt a unilat-
