N on-Swimmer
Rescued After 39
Hours in Water
CLEARWATER, Fla. UR—A ship
wrecked sailor who couldn’t swim
a lick today was none the <worse
for his experience after drifting
for 39 hours on a bait well.
Sam Butler, 25, was spotted
atop the eight-foot box^like con
tainer used to keep bait alive. He
suffered only minor shock and
exposure.
Butler and a shipmate were
hurled into the Gulf of Mexico
Friday night when the shrimper
Annie was struck by a raging
squall. His companion, Paul Hash,
has not been found. Butler said
he grabbed a bait well and shout
ed to Hash to do the same after a
wave tossed the vessel into the
air during the storm.
Butler was found by two sports
fishermen about three miles from
where the hulk of the Annie rests.
The fishermen almost passed him
by when they exchanged words
and the fishermen got the impres
sion he^was a skin diver.
When they started off, Butler
•hollered, said he had been adrift
for two days. Butler said later he j
must have been dozing while I
talking to the pair.
He didn’t appear too thirsty, his j
rescuers said, altho he said he
was very tired and hungry.
Butler said he drifted back and
forth with the'tides and got occa
sional sleep while sprawled out
on the floating bait well.

House Committee Votes to Clear
Civil Rights Bill for Action
WASHINGTON, The House
Rules Committee today voted 10
to 2 to clear the long-blocked
civil rights bill for House action.
The committee vote overrode
Chairman Howard W. Smith (D
Va) and Rep. Colmer (D->Miss),
last-ditch opponents of the com
promise measure, and paved the
way for House action expected
tomorrow.
Speedy House passage is ex
pected for the measure which had
been bottled up in the Rules Com
mittee since Senate passage on
Aug. 7.
The meeting of the Rules Com
mittee was forced by seven mem
bers because Chairman Smith had
refused to call a session of the
committee.
Under House rules, a majority
of a committee can force a meet
ing when the chairman does not
call one.
The committee voted to clear
the measure in the compromise
form approved by congressional
leaders of both parties last Fri
day. Then it will be up to the
House whether to go along with
the committee’s decision.
If that happens, as expected,
then the Senate is expected to
agree to the compromise bill, too,
and send it to the White House.
When the bill comes up in the
House, debate will be limited to
one hour.
Today’s meeting of the 12-man
| Rules Committee was forced
: when Rep. Hugh Scott (R-Pa)
| signed a call for a meeting previ
ously signed by six Democrats.
In its final form the bill is ex
pected to contain:
1. Provision for a bipartisan
civil rights investigating commi
sion and for a special section of
the Justice Department to handle
civil rights matters.
2. New powers for the Attorney
General to seek U.S. court injunc-1
tions against violations or threat
ened violations of voting rights. \
3. A special provision—the
heart of the final compromise—
that a judge shall decide whether
a person charged with criminal
contempt for violating an injunc
tion shall be tried by himself, or
by a jury.
If the judge tries the case him
self and levies a penalty of more
than 45 days in jail and a $300
fine, the defendant would have
the right to a new trial before a
jury.
The maximum penalty for such
injunction violations would be
six months in jail and $1,000 fine.
Under the compromise, civil
contempt cases would be tried
without a jury. Criminal con
tempt proceedings are those de
signed to punish violations of
court orders. Civil contempt cases
are aimed at getting compliance.

Confusion Between
Belly and Ballet Dance
In Russian Train Depot
CAIRO, UP>—Confusion of the
terms “ballet dance” and “belly
dance” almost caused trouble for
an Egyptian girl who recently at
tended the Moscow Youth Festi- <
val.
Reports from Russia said the
girl did a belly dance in her
nightgown in a railway station.
The Cairo press today reported
the education ministry had inves
tigated and found the girl was
properly clad at the time and had
performed “a ballet dance of a
! refined type taught in Egyptian \
! schools—not a belly dance.” 1
