Democrat Liberals Name New Leader

WASHINGTON (DPI) -r- House Democratic liberals elected a new leader today and he promptly served notice of 1 plans to try wresting control erf legislative traffic from conservatives next year. Rep. Chet Holifield defeated Rep. James Rooseveh, a feUow Californian, jby i 2 to 1 margin in a contestror the leadership of the liberal Democratic bloc in ' the House. Hlifield got 36 votes to Roosevelt’s 18. He takes over as chairman of the Democratic study group which has directed the bloc’s legislative battles since January. The group’s main campaign has been aimed at getting House action on legislation which otherwise would be bottled up by the House Rules Committee, dominated by conservative Republicans and southern Democrats. The committee channels bills to the floor after legislative committees approve them. Other congressional news: FEDERAL PAY: The House voted, 345-69 — 69 votes more than the required two-thirds majority — to override President Eisenhower’s veto of a $740 million federal pay raise biU. POLICY: New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller told senators studying federal policy machinery that a super-strong president and powerful new top-level aides are heeded to streamline decisionmaking on vital foreign and domestic issues. He said modernization of the government would provide a 25 to 50 per cent increase in the nation’s rate, of economic growth—an indirect reply to Vice President Richard M. Nixon’s recent criticism of “growthmanshiptt proposals for increased federal spending. MONITORING’ The House voted money for the Federal Communications Commission to monitor television programs—despite a warning this might open the way to government ownership. The $150,000 was part of a compromise bill, sent to the Senate, carrying $8,307,964,000 to run a batch of independent agencies in the fiscal year which begins today. IJ-2: Sen. Alexander Wiley <RWis.) accused Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) of using the U-2 spy plane incident for “partisan politics” and for “undermining confidence in U.S. policy.” Fulbright is chairman and Wiley senior Republican of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which recently investigated the administration's handling of the incident. Fulbright made a speech this week charging administration bungles. Slipping Straps Sew small tapes in the shoulders of your sleeveless dresses.

Defense Money Bill Up To Eisenhower WASHINGTON (UPI) — Congress has sent. President Eisenhower a S4O billion defense money bill providing $661 million more than he asked to run the nation’s space-age military machine for the next year. ,/ The chief executive was expected to sign the appropriation shortly. But Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) charged that a June 9 memorandum issued by the defense secretary’s office indicated the administration did not plan to spend all the funds added by Congress. Johnson said the memo stated, “It Congress makes available more funds than are requested, and where the law does not require expenditure, agencies should reserve the increase.” The military spending bill, accounting for more than half the federal budget, was approved by Congress Thursday. The House passed it first, 402-5, and the Senate concurred, 82-3. Senate - House conferees wrote the compromise measure from differing versions approved by. the two branches of Congress. The House originally voted to increase Eisenhower’s defense budget by only $2.87 million. After the summit collapse and cancellation of Eisenhower's trip to Tokyo, the Senate added $1.17 billion. The extra money finally approved was earmarked for a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, the 870 supersonic bomber program and air force “spy in the sky” satellites.

Nikita Offers To Buy Entire Austria Output VIENNA (UPD—Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was so moved today by an enthusiastic greeting by workers at an Austrian automobile plant he jovially offered in an off-the-cuff speech to buy up Austria’s entire industrial output. Khrushchev arrived Thursday to one of the coolest receptions he has ever experienced in his globetrotting tours. Today he got a mixed reception on a glad-handing walk through the Vienna streets. But workers at the Austro - Fiat .plant were more friendly. 'I am like a merchant who comes to the market with a bag full of things," Khrushchev told the workers. "I can say to all of you—wrap up all your goods and send them to us. We can buy all of Austria.” This was a direct translation but the workers took jt as an offer to buy the nation's entire output and they cheered and applauded. ‘‘But we have to pay you for all we get from you in equal amounts,” Khrushchev continued. “M this can be arranged the Austrian worker will always enjoy full employment." — Khrushchev embarked on a tour of factories and social insjtallations in Vienna after formal meetings with Chancellor Julius Raab. Informed sources said the men

agreed to expand economic and cultural relations between the two countries. At the factory Khrushchev appeared to be in his element. He told the workers he,, too, had been a worker. The workers greeted him with shouts of "friendship” and tried to shake his hand. The Austro-Fiat plant is one of the few factories in Austria where the Communists control the union shop stewards, and as a result . he found the kind of enthusiastic I atmosphere he is used to at home. , There were red flags and bunting ; and pictures oi Khrushchev. - He . looked delighted. > , When he beganto speak his interpreter called tofcwertera ‘4»n---i ored gentlemeh' ’ -fsehr geehrte , herren> and Khrushchev tapped him on the shoulder and told -him ’ to call them “comrades.” I Negro Worker Dies After Heart Attack Eddie J.

FRIDAY. JULY 1, Iflto

Sen. Johnson Denies Story y Williams By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—It Could ■be the heat, as Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.) suggests or, perhaps, it could be the humidity. Whichever it may be, it made ■eevcral politicians extremely uncomfortable. Johnson’s discomfort was caused by Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams of Michigan. Williams told a' questioner at the Glacier Park governor’ conference that Johnson had threatened to block the Forand bill for medical care for the aged if Williams announced support of. Sen. Johri F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) for pre'sißent. Williams said the threat was made to Walter P. Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers of America. Johnson and his associates sharply denied Williams' story which the governor conceded he had second hand. “It is very unfortunae,” Johnson said, “that political campaigns are carried bn in the summer months when the heat affects some people’s judgment. The story is untrue—the usual pre * convention nonsense.” Misunderstanding about Kennedy Reuther disposed of the incident by abruptly stating that Williams’ story* hat no basis in fact.” It is Wilhams turn, now, to be uncomfortable as the bearer of false tidings. t Another brush fire of misunderstanding burns around Kennedy and what he told liberal party leaders in New York about his attitude toward southern delegates to the Democratic national convention. A headline on June 24 said: “Kennedy assures liberals he seeks no help in South.” The story lead off like this: "Sen. John F. Kennedy told the liberal party yesterday that hff hoped to win the Democratic nomination for President without a single southern vote in the. Convention. .. .Immediately after his statement, the Massachusetts senator was assured of a liberal endorsement if he won the Democratic nomination. Such an endprsement could be vital to his chances of carrying New York in the election.” The New York liberal party is . ‘ a splinter group with belance-of-power possibilities in any close election. There is no doubt that Kennedy made a hard pitch for liberal support. Whether Kennedy told the liberals in closed session that he hoped to be nominated without southern delegate support os.. that he expected to be. $o nominated is mostly a matter of , semantics. Southern Governors Irked Photographic copies of the headlined story were circulated, however, among the southern governors attending the Glacier Park conference and they were suitably outraged. Kennedy’s supporters at Glacier Park said the story was factually correct because the senator had little if any delegate support? from southern states. It was Kennedy’s lime, however, to be uncomfortable, , ..... / Vice Chairman Alex Rose of the liberal party finally clarified the situation somewhat by saying: “Kennedy told us that he was confident that he will be nominated although he had few if any southern delegates’ votes as of then.” Meantime, Kennedy's campaign office was mailing appeals to all delegates — including all of the southern delegates—for their convention support. One more quote mav mean something. After the Kennedy - liberal meeting, New I Now York County Chairman MurIry Barqn said: “Many southern C llti«»r leaders w« Be kory distisfled vgith hl* (Kennedy’B) nomination.” ?’ vj. Witnesses Planning Detroit Convention The DWatur ■ congregation ol Jehovah's Witnesses has been Invited to attend a four-day Christian assembly in Detroit, Mich.. July 28-3). Clyde D.
