Few Are Satisfied With Results Of
First Senate Rules Changing Measure
WASHINGTON, UR — The Sen
ate has changed its rule govern
ing debate, but the argument con
tinued yesterday over how big a
step it had taken toward curbing
filibusters.
“No gain at all,” commented
Senator Jacob Javits (R-NY), one
of a group of northern and west
ern Senators who had fought to
make it easier to throttle filibus
ters against civil rights bills and
other measures.
“A soothing syrup to lull the
conscience of America,” was the
assessment of Senator Paul Doug
las (D-Ill), one of the leaders of
Indian Chief Writes
Mikoyan, Apologizing
For Bad Manners
DURAND, Mich., UP> — Chief
White Bird, who represents 4,000
Chippewa Indians in Michigan,
has mailed Soviet Deputy Pre
mier Anastas I. Mikoyan an apolo
gy for the eggs thrown at him
during his visit to Detroit Thurs
day.
“When the white man first
came to America, we Indians
treated them as guests should be
treated,” White Bird wrote. “We
continued to treat them as guests
as long as they conducted them
selves as guests. We were often re
ferred to as uncivilized savages.
“You being a visitor of this
one-time Indian territory of Michi
gan, I must apologize for the way
some of the modern savages be
haved while you were here. So far
you have conducted yourself very
well during your stay here.”

the bipartisan fight for a rules
change.
Some southern senators pro
tested that the change — any
change — went too far.
But an overwhelming majority
of the Senate voted 72-22 for the
new rule to allow two-thirds of
the Senators present and voting
to cut off debate. A rule in ef
fect since 1949 had required the
votes of two-thirds of the entire
Senate membership, or 66 of the,
98 senators.
No one questioned that the out
come was a spectacular triumph \
for Senator Lyndon Johnson, the
Senate Democratic leader.
The change in rules went
through just the way he proposed
it on the opening day of the new
Congress last Wednesday. John
son and other Senate leaders of
both parties called it a reasonable,
middle-of-the-road solution.
Douglas said, however, that it
marked a great victory for south
ern senators.
With the aid of conservative Re
publicans, he said, they had been
able “not to blunt but to reverse
the drive for civil rights and an
effective antifilibuster rule.”
In contrast, Senator Richard
Russell (D-Ga), said “It is a sad
day when the Senate'of the United
States demeans itself by imposing
new restraints” on fredom of
debate.

Contracts Let For
Power Plants For
Man-Carrying Atlas
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Air
Force has ordered an extra firing
stage that could permit use of
the Atlas missile for shots to the
vicinity of Mars and Venus.
It announced today the award
of a contract for the upper stage
to Convair Astronautics Division
of General Dynamics. Convair
makes the huge Atlas Interconti
nental missile. Company officials
said the contract would amount to
about seven million dollars in its
first year.
The new upper stage will con
tain a high-powered rocket engine
designed to kick vehicles to grav
ity-freeing speeds.
The upper stage will also make
possible the launching of vehicles
weighing as much as five tons
into orbits at altitudes of 100 or
200 miles, Pentagon experts said.
Using only the Atlas itself, with
out the added stage, loads of one
to IVi tons can be fired into or
biting paths, they estimated.
One apparent use for the Atlas
upper stage combination would be
to launch a manned satellite un
der the Project Mercury program.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration awarded
Monday its own contract for de
signing and building a capsule in
which a man or men would ride
a satellite in orbit. However, it
be at least two years before NASA
has a man-carrying satellite ready
for test.
