Submission Os Civil Rights Bill Delayed Report Conflicts In Administration Over Key Features WASHINGTON (INS) *— The Eisenhower administration again today postponed sending its civil rights program to congress, apparently because of uncertainty over how strong itshould be. The just deprat~ent had told newsmen that the program would be sent to congress by noon (EST) today. But for the third time in recent weeks the action was hastily called off. A department spokesman said the bill probably would be delayed until congress returns from its Easter recess on April 9. The spokesman declined to say what caused the new delay. However, it was learned, that there have been conflicts within the administration on several key features of the bill, which was first announced by President Eisenhower last January. Mr. Eisenhower said he intended to. ask congress to create a bipartison ocmmission to investigate civil rights matters. But some adjnlnistration officials were reported to have objected to suggestions that the commission be given broad sub-poena powers. RED PARTY IS (Continued From Pag* One) tinued operation, hastily set up its New oYrk editorial offices next to the composing room of the firm which prints the paper. Today's edition carried a fivecolumn headline proclaiming: "Our Office Seized — Here We Are.” ~ Daily Worker managing editor Alan Max termed the treasury action "an outragious attack on the freedom of the press." And Eugene Dennis, general secretary of the party, telegraphed President Eisenhower protesting the “Gestapo-type raids" and charging the seizures were "nothing but transparent McCarthylike political harassment." The Communist party was charged with tax evasion totaling $389,265.46 for 1952 while the Worker allegedly failed ttJ pay 446,047 in taxes during 1961-52-53.
Says Truman Favors Governor Harriman Top Democrat Says Draft Move Grows WASHINGTON (INS) —A highranking Democrat declared today that former President Harry S. Truman is pulling the strings of a movement to "dump Stevenson” in favor of a Harriman-Kefauver presidential ticket. He told this correspondent that Truman is now in the driver’s seat, as a result of Adlai Stevenson’s trouncing in the New Hampshire and Minnesota primaries. “It confirmed Truman’s type of campaigning?' he explained. “Even the party leaders who were strong for Stevenson last week are now watching Truman for their cue, and Frank McKinney has given the advance tip-off.” The source said McKinney, Truman's hand picked Democratic national chairman until Stevenson fired him in 1952, “would not take a move without consulting Harry.” McKinney announced in Indianapolis earlier this week that Gov. Averell Harriman of New York is his choice for the Democratic presidential nomination. McKinney admitted that he presided at a secret meeting to boost Harriman, which was held with Truman's blessing in Denver March 4. The professional politician told this writer that Truman and McKinney have already enltiited the support of Gov. Raymond Gary of Oklahoma "and probably of Sen. Robert Kerr” (D Okla.) in their drive to knock Stevenson out of the running. The top-rapking Democrat said Truman and McKinney are arranging to launch their We-Want-Harri-man movement in the southwest and far west. The strategy is to have it gradually sweep eastward, so that by the time it reaches New York, it can “look like a draft” In this way, Harriman can be kept under wraps until the strategic moment for him to become ? n a vow ed candidate. ■ ■ -.-v . - * The source said that former agriculture secretary Charles Brannan, now head of the liberal National Farmers’ Union, will shortly come out for Harriman. He predicted that such potent labor leaders as president George Harrison of the Brotherhood of Railway Mail Clerks and AFL-CIO president George Meany will also jump on the Harriman bandwagon “as soon as Truman gives high Sign.'* iJtUsK. e.v.v
