Americans Will Greet New Year At Midnight

By UNITED PRESb Americans will greet the New Year tonight with a top - hat whingding in a sWank New York hotel, water - skiing at Waikiki Beech, a beer - guzzling concert party in Milwaukee and thousands of unpretentious lodge and neighborhood get-togethers. Revelers will make whoopee with about the same degree of gaiety .and strain on the pocketbook as they greeted 1956, Night spots in New York, Chicago, Reno, Las Vegas and Honolulu repeftted a .heavy demand for New Year’s Eve But the demand was off and relatively subdued celebrations were expected in San Francisco, Washington and Denver. Nowhere, a United Press check showed, was there any indication that tonight would be the nation’s “gayest New Year’s Eve yet.” In most . cities, the survey showed, merrymakers could expect to pay about, the same prices for their fun-making as they did a year ago. The tab was nigner, however, in Honolulu and Chicago, and a real night -on the town figured to ■ cost SIOO and up per couple in many cities. Fancy Package at Waikiki Basic prices ranged from $2.50 at Lanie’s nightclub in Indianapolis up to $35 per person at Honolulu’s Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The average tab in hotel dining rooms and supper clubs around

the country was $lO to S2O per person for dinner, entertainment, and noisemakers with perhaps one drink thrown in. The prices were sharply higher where they covered all the liquor a customer could down. The swankiest celebrations were offered by the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Henry Kaiser’s Hawaiian Village along Waikiki Beach, For S7O a couple there get a “package deal” that includes a Polynesian-style dinner, midnight brunch, gin-fizz breakfast in bed, sailing, swimming and water-ski-ing. New Yorkers could dine on pheasant with goose liver and truffles, dance to gypsy music and toot on fancy horns at the Ambassador Hotel's Embassy Club and Knight Box for S3O per person. Formal dress was a •’must.” At Chicago’s Chez Paree, $24.60 per person buys dinner and a look at comic Jerry Lewis. Milwaukee Goes Highbrow Milwaukeeans wan highbrow with two New Year’s Eve concerts—but didn't forget their beloved beer. The Milwaukee auditorium featured a concert with a S3O-a-box top. For their money, the music lovers got beer and cheese with Bach and Beethoven. There also was a concert by the without the beer—and a special production of "Harvey” With Edward Everett Horton. The Grand Rapids. Mich., alcoholism center planned a "dry” party for 500 “graduates.” It offered soft drinks and fruit juices. Night spots in Washington, D.C., went along with the city traffic director’s suggestion and placed a warning card on each table. "Alcohol and gasoline do not mix; make that last one for the road a- coffee,” the signs read. In Chicago, nightchib 'doormen were asked to carry the campaign 1 against drunk driving right to the curb and Urge departing patrons to leave their cars and go home by bus or taxi.

Ike Is Advised To Keep Hands Off Filibuster • M Senate Filibuster Dispute Expected To Start On Thursday By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON W — President Eisenhower is being advised to keep hands off the angry Senate filibuster dispute which will begin, shortly after 12 noon, Thursday, Jan. 3. Congress convenes at that hour. ' It probably would be to the long haul political advantage of the Republican party if Mr. Eisenhower supported efforts to change the Senate filibuster rule and got the rule changed. The rule is No. 22 about which a 1 great deal will be* heard from Washington next month and thereafter. Rule 22 permits a Senate filibuster on any subject for so long as senators may desire unless 64 of them join in a vote to impose cloture. Cloture means closing and, in this instance, it, would mean a closing of the filibuster. ' It has proved impossible in practice to obtain such an absolute two-thlrds Senate majority to close debate. It probably will be impossible in the future. Therefore, senators interested in enacting civil rights legislation in the up-coming 85th Congress seek a new approach to what some persons would regard as a gag on Senate debate, Re-Adoption Opposed These interested senators hope to prevent the senate next week from re-adopting for the 85th session the nfles which have been in force in one fojtm or another during the preceding years. Specifically, they want to get rid of Rule 22. The arguments for and against the adoption of new rules are technical as they have been stated so far, , These technicalities will be explained in subsequent United Press stories. The realistic politi,cal questions involved are'these; —Stall the Senate change its i rules in such manner as to prevent the minority of southern Democrats from organizing a filibuster? A filibuster unquestionably would prevent enactment of civil righte legislation. No. rule change; no ctytl rights legislation. It is as ly Democratic states be deprived by a change in Senate rules df the last important remainder of the power they once ehjoyed within the Democratic party? There has not been much public discussion of this latter phase of the filibuster dispute. These, however, are the facts: For 100 yehrs, or thereabouts, until 1936, the states of the * socalled solid South enjoyed a veto power over nominations in Democratic national conventions. * Ended With FDR Franklin D, Roosevelt and his political manager, James A. Farley, deprived the South of that convention veto. At their command the delegates,* Southerners included, voted to, abandon the traditional a convention rule that -a; presidential nomination required a two-thirds vote. A mere majority vote thereafter, has been sufficient to nominate. Senate Rule 22, however,, continued to provide organized South-, •erners with a veto on congressional legislation. Now it is proposed to change Rule 22. The rule' probably - will survive.

north will ram down southern throats not only candidates the South dislikes, but legislation the South detests. If that comes to pass, look for a southern speed-up toward a two party system and a new day in U.S. politics in which not only Republican presidential candidates, but congressional candidates as well, may hope ,to carry southern states and districts. New Storm Adding To Holiday. Hazard Heaviest Snowfall In Michigan, New York By UNITED PRESS. A new storm moving southeastward out of Canada began spreading •«aoW over -most «f'the Great!

Hungarians To Abandon New Year Holiday 'Black* Observance Os New Years Eve To Defy Government 1 BUDAPEST (UP)—The Hungar- i ian underground called today for a "black” New Year’s Eve in de- ' fiance of the government and in memory of Hungarian dead. A nation famed for the abandon of its New Year’s Eve celebrations planned to go to bed early in silence, the only form of protest open to'the Hungarians. Only a fragment ot the nation's workers expect to have jobs and full wages after this New Year’s Eve. The hundreds of thousands to be laid off at factories and in the ministries faced only the prospect of being coerced to work in the labor - short coal mines. Unsigned Leaflets Distributed Unsigned leaflets scattered in the streets of Budapest called for a “black” New Year’s eve of mourning. Similar guestures of defiance In the past have been widely followed. In any event tne regime of Premier Janos Kadar has ordered the curfew to remain at 10 p.m. even on the eve of the New Year. It was lifted only on Christmas Eve. The Underground leaflets also pointed out that any celebration would be out of place because Hungary is still in mourning for the thousands who died in the vain struggle for freedom. Casualty Estimates Differ (Hungarian newspapers reported “1,800 to 2,000” citizens were killed in the street fighting against Russian tanks in Buadpest. Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru estimated 25,000 Hungarians and 7,000 Russians died.) Production was at a standstill throughout the country. Factory production depends on the coal mines, and the miners were making less effort as day followed day. The Soviet Union promised SSO million in aid which Hungary could ifse to buy supplies in. toe West, and was bringing pressure, cm ojher East European nations to* come through in turn. Hungary has estimated its’ immediate needs at least S4OO million. ■-ft* ' ft *- J1 * Famous Monologist Dies In New York - NEW YORK Iff) — Ruth Draper, internationally known monologist who performed for 36 years, died Sunday, apparently of a heart attack.
