Compromise On Filibuster Bill Wins Test Vote Compromise Group ” tn Senate Wins On Initibl Test Vote WASHINGTON (UPD-Compro-mise forces led by Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson won a test-vote today In the Senate dispute over filibuster rules. They did so by tabling at Johnson’s behest a motion, backed by the liberal anti-filibuster bloc, to re-adopt all of the old Senate rules except the one applying to curbing filibusters. The present rule provides for a two-thirds vote of all 98 members—or 66 votes—to cut off' debate. The liberals want the rule changed to curb debate by a simple majority—or 50 votes. Johnson is willing to change the present filibuster rule to some extent. but not as drastically as the liberal proposal. Johnson's move carried by a 6036 vote. Johnson’s tabling motion. was . supported by 40 Democrats and 20 Republicans. Opposing it were 22 Democrats and 14 Republicans. It signified that Johnson’s compromise proposal on the filibuster, issue probably will be adopted. Avoid Biennial Fight Leaders of both parties threw their weight behind Johnson’s compromise proposal to require only two-thirds of those present and voting. This could be as few as 34 and as many as 68. It also would let the same two-thirds vote to limit debate on rules changes, on which cloture is now banned. Johnson’s compromise also would spell out that the Senate is a “continuing body” with rules that carry over from session to session, and thus avoid the biennial fight over whether it must—or can—adopt new rules at the outset of each Congress. 1 On only the second day ot the new Congress, the Senate was held in session Thursday. pight until 10:10 p. m.. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), whb spoke for four hours and six minutes on the evils of filibusters. Headed For Adoption Johnson’s motion seemed headed for adopw’n, despite a lastminute modification designed to make the rules - change proposal more attractive to opposing members. All other Senate business, including reapportionment of committees to allow for Democratic gains in the 1958 elections, was at a standstill pending outcome of the historic rules battle. Some- members hoped the fight over tightening the anti-filibuster rule might be ended by early rwvt wppk Sen. Clinton P. Anderson <DN.M.) .authoried the move for adoption of new Senate rules. But his proposal ran into a barrage of complaints that its adoption would leave the Senate without any rules at least temporarily and lead to a “Pandora’s box” of rule changes. CiarK Offers Modification To meet this objection. Sen. Joseph S. Clark <D-Pa.) offered a modification stipulating that all Senate rules for the 85th Congress would apply in this session except the rule governing filibusters. Anderson, it was announced, had accepted this change and would offer it as a modification of his motion. But Johnson was expected to press his tabling motion regard-lessr-and appeared confident he would win. Then, the Senate could consider various alternatives for tightening the gag on filibusters under its Rule 22. The Army Quartermaster Corps has developed a solution effective as a sterilizing germicidal rinse where there's no scalding water available.

Richard Moser. ’ Assistant district commissioner Sylvester Everhart, of Decatur, al- . so attended the meeting. Den Chief InstaDed J The round table was opened by ; a demonstration on the installation of a den chief. This may be done, . it was explained, at a scout troop •_ meeting <the den chief is a Boy Scout), at a parent’s night, or at a court of honor. ' The troop and pack members ) and guests stand in a semi-circle ) around a blazing camp fire, or a ■ facsimile of one. The new den ' chief, scoutmaster, and cubmaster 1 stand facing the group. A scout and ' a cub hold single gold and blue cords. The scoutmaster takes the ' gold cord, and explains how this ’ stands for truth, leadership, and ; good turns of scouring, and hands ’ it to the den chief. The cubmaster . takes the blue cord, explains that - it stands for the parents’ hopes, the ? law of the pack, and cub scouting, and hands it to the den chief. The • two cords are then twisted into the s symbol of office of the den chief, - signifying the third law, a scout is • helpful. » First Aid After the opening ceremony, a 20 minute lecture and demonstration -by Dick Heller, Jr., institutional ' representative of Lions troop 62, ? was given. The importance of first aid, reassuring the patient, sending ‘ for a doctor or ambulance, keeping the patient lying down, warm, stop- ’ ping any bleeding, restoring breath-' j ing by Artificial respiration, and t keeping all wounds or burns dean f by covering with sterile bandages was explained. t Order of Arrow r The order of the arrow was then f explained by a member of the camping fraternity from Portland. " A scout’s greatest thrill is receiving’ r the Eagle award, and the second \ greatest is the order of the arrow 1 I The order founded in 1921 at Camp 1 Treasure Island in Pennsylvania. 1 j and the initiation into the camping f service group is a public ceremony of great beauty, especially the , “tapping in.” A brown bear is the totem of the order, and the initials WWW are present, signifying the 1 Indian for “brotherhood of cheer- ; ful service.” The entire procedure t is based on Delaware Indian leg-. • end. At the end of each camp at I Big Island, an “ordeal” is held ..for 1 those nominated as members. This I : is a mental, spiritual, and physical i ordeal, lasting 24 hours, so test the. ’ qualities of the members. Members also engage in many' ■ useful and helpful activities, arriv- ‘ ■ ing—at camp-before—it opens.- and ■ ’ putting in the docks, cleaning up ' the area, etc. They also tear down the camp at the end of the season, and this wintei;, they are planning ; to rebuild a septic tank there.

Rep. Overton Brooks <D;La.), u said he w.as not pressing judgment or “being critical of anyone.” But he said the nation’s ’space program must be handled on an urgent basis. He made the statement to United Press International following J predictions by space and atomic experts {hat Russia" at any time now would’ score two new scientific triumphs: '■ •*—The launching and the return to earth of a space vehicle carrying a man. —The development of a nucle-ar-powered plane. Space experts also forecast that once the Russians hit the moon with a rocket their next possible move would be to send a rocket to Mars or Venus. ... Rep. Melvin Price <D - Ill.) chairman of the joint congressional atomic research subcommittee, predicted the Russians woulcT fly a nuclear-powered "plane by the end of the Price said the present “foot dragging” U. S. program would not develop a nu-clear-powdered plane for at least ! four or five years or more. The House Space Committee Thursday night released a space handbook prepared by the Rand Corp., a top research organizaL lion. predicting the Soviet launching of a manned space vehicle “soon.” Informed sources said that meant anytime within the next two years. The latest official estimate on American prospects of launching a manned space vehicle [sets the date at least two years froin now.

Mikoya Lands In Chicago On OheDay Visit Hungarian Freedom Fighter Pickets At Chicago's Airport • CHICAGO (UPD - Anastas Mikoyan, Soviet deputy premier, arrived for a 24-bour visit in Chicago today and got a sign-waving greeting from a group of Hungarian freedom fighter pickets. Mikoyan came here from Detroit, where his appearances also had been picketed and where a crowd of 500 demonstrators shouted insults Thursday night and hurled eggs and snowballs. The deputy premier and his party, including Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov, spent no more time than was necessary at Chicago’s Midway A i rpo rt. They got off the plane and Mikoyan stopped briefly on the ramp to smile and wave. Then the party was whisked into limousines and headed downtown to the Conrad Hilton Hotel. Police, who lined the pathway from the ramp to a gate opening directly on Cicero Avenue, kept the demonstrators and pickets, who numbered only about 20, out- ■ side the airfield and along Cicero. As Mikoyan’s car pulled out, one of the pickets threw a sign toward his car. The sign, a cardboard placard on a wooden stick, landed in front of-the car and was run over. Hart Eggs In Detroit “Mikoyan Go Home,” said’ one of the signs carried along the fence line outside the landing site. “The Naked Truth,” and “Imre Nagy Believed in Coexistence He Is Dead” said others. Peter Swack, 30, Chicago, a wine importer, previously had identified the delegation as members of the Federation of Hungarian Freedom fighters. 1
