Celler and Rep. Kenneth Keatj ing (R-N.Y.) the group’s \ topranking GOP member, both predicted that the house rules committee will send the measure to the floor for a vote. In the past, civil rights legislation has been pigeon-holed by the rules com- ' taittee. Keating said also there was “a very good prospect" that the bill will be approved by the house. Such legislation, however, faces a dim outlook for senate approval. When and if a ciVil rights bill is called up in the senate, southern members will conduct a determined filibuster against it.

Anglo - Soviet Talks Extend Extra Session Expect Statement By Russian Leaders Over Disarmament LONDON (INS) —Anglp—Soviet “friendship"' talks were extended today amid mounting belief Russia was preparing to make a major announcement, possibly concerning disarmament. Diplomata expressed confidence that a dramatic concession of some kind was being prepared by Soviet premier Nikolai Bulganin and Communist party boss "Nikita Khrushchev in an effort to keep their visit to Britain from being tagged as a fiasco. Observers became optimistic when the Soviet leaders and primb minister Sir Anhtony Eden decided at the last minute to extend their week-long talks for at least one extra session. > 'Hie final discussion was to have been this morning. But at the end of the two-hour session, the foreign office announced that the talks would be resumed thia afternoon. The arrival at London airport of two additional Soviet TU-104 jet airliners, making a total of three,increased speculation that the Russian leaders would remain in London past their scheduled departure date of Friday. <, Belief that the expected Soviet announcement would concern disarmament was caused by a surprise meeting - Tuesday night between Khrushchev and U.S. disarmament specialist Harold E. Stassen. U. S. officials described the nearly two —hour meeting as "very thorough." Stassen himself said the only subject discussed at the meeting, which was arranged by the Russians, was disarmament. He was believed to quickly communicated the Substance of his talk with the Communist party chief to Washington and to be standing by for a reply today. An indication that the Russians

and British will make some kind of an agreement coucerntg trade relations was given '’when Peter Thorneycroft. president of the board of trade, joined the discussions at No. 10 Downing Street. His Soviet counterpart also took part in the talks. Permanent undersecretary Ivone Kirkpatrick and first deputy foreign minister Andrei Gromyko were understood to be continuing their discussion on the Middle East problem. Russia is expected to join Britain in agreeing to collaborate within the United Nations on preserving peace in the Middle East. Any agreement on tradfe and the Arab-Israeli problem were expected to be of a minor nature. Since their arrival in Britain last Wednesday, Khrushchev and Bulganin have offered concessions so minor that the British have had difficulty taking them seriously. Wife Standing By Alleged Murderer Mrs. Jack Graham Believes Innocence DENVER (INS)—A pretty, darkhaired girl with glasses — Mrs. Gloria Graham, 22 — stood out today as a poignant figure at the airplane dynamiting murder trial. Her husband, Jack, 24 and goodlooking in a crew cut. collegiate sort of away, is the defendant in this, the biggest mass murder case in America's history. And Gloria — with a true wife's loyalty — is standing by him, no matter what others think or say. While Graham is charged specifically only with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Daisie E. King, 55, he is held responsible for the deaths of 43 other persons who lost their lives in the blow-up of a United Air Lines Mainliner near Longmont, Colo., last Nov. 1. Gloria told International News Service today shp is "praying for Jack” and will continue to believe he is innocent “until (hey prove otherwise, if they can.” She said Jack was a good husband and father. / As we talked she was sitting on a bench in a corridor just outside the capacity-crowded courtroom where the prosecution is presenting evidence against her husband. She cannot go inside because the defense plans to call her as a witness. Slim, young-looking Mrs. Graham said she has a baby sitter at home taking care of her two children, Allens >e, and' Buaaanep'fc *«’■ Gloria said that on the day of the plane explosion, she, Mrs. King and baby Allen drove to a motor hotel so Daisie could store her car flying to Alaska to visit her married daughter, Mrs. Helen Hablutzel. Jack Graham remained home. It was then he is alleged to have planted 25 sticks of dynamite ams a time-bomb .in his mother’s luggage. Gloria said her husband seemed "quite normal” the night of Noy. 1 last when they drove out to Stapleton airport, Denver, to see Mrs. King off. After ill-fated flight 629 took off, Gloria admitted Jack showed indications of not'feeling well. She said that when they were eating supper at the airport. Jack excused himself and went to the men’s room. When they had just got home, she went on, they heard that a plane had crashed. A neighbor who has TV came over with the news. "Jack was very much upset,” said Mrs. Graham. "So was 1, because I was fond of Daisie. We telephoned United Air Lines but couldn't find out much. Finally, about 11 p.m. we received confirmation that Daisie had died in the airplane explosion near Longmont, Colorado.” Gloria did not want to discuss her own folks because they are “upset” over what happened. All she would say Is her father worked for the Public Service Co. and that both her parents are living. One of the hardest things young Mrs. Graham has to bear, is to watch husband Jack being brought into the courthouse daily, heavily manacled and guarded by half a dozen men with guns in their shoulder holsters. SENATE GROUP (Continued from Page One) real estate and finance business in Atlantic City. Subcommittee cahirman John L. McClellan (D Ark.), rejected a protest on their behalf by attorney William H’. Collins that the senate group had no right to question them because of a “fixed viewpoint" that they are guilty of wrong-doing. Collins maintained that the hearing "does violence to every concept of orderly procedure" but McClellan said the inquiry is justified by a need for “corrective legislation” if charges of “collusion and fraud” are found to be true. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R Wis.), maintained Kravitz had proved his guilt by refusing to answer questions. He recommended that the subcommittee have the witness cited for contempt fpr,what be called "frivolous use” of the fifth amendment. x

Dillin Says Craig Breaking Road Law Cites Law Against Using Rock Asphalt , ANDERSON, Ind. (INS) —ln a speech prepared for delivery at ( Anderson, Hugh Dillln charged that Gov. George N. Craig is breaking the law in his handling of Kyrock. Dlllin, a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, eddressed the Madison County Jet-ferson-Jlaclcson day dinner, and said Craig was a “lawbreaker for directing the highway commission to buy Kentucky rock asphalt again this year.” The highway department recently announced it will buy Kyrock again for the year beginning May 1 to “desMek*’ slate highways. Said Dißln: , “The prohibition against Kentucky rock asphalt for surfacing or resurfacing state highways means just that and inventing the term ‘deslicking’ to justify the use of this prohibited constitutes nothing but a callous disregard and disrespect for existing law.” Dillln further charged that Kyrock was banned b ythe state legislature because it had proved itself unable to withstand heavy traffic and because it cost was excessive. The Petersburg attorney said an even more suitable “deslicking'* material can be manufactured out of a mixture of reidual asphalt provided by Indiana refineries as a byproduct of refining oil and Indiana limestone. He said this substance could be combined in any proportion to reach the maximum deslicking as opposed to the natural Kyrock. would take less time to cure and would be considerably cheaper. Dillin charged this wasn’t a "deslicking but another of Craig’s slick operations.” Said Dillln: “Here is just another example of the high-handed tactics of the Craig administration in defying the
