Republicans
To Force
Rights Vote
WASHINGTON UP)
Republi
cans disclosed yesterday they hope
to force a quick test vote in the
Senate on the politically explosive;
civil rights issue and thereby
embarrass the Democrats.
The planned first step is the!
early introduction of a bill to car-'
ry out civil rights recommenda
tions President Eisenhower made;
yesterday in his message to Con-I
grass.
Then the Republicans would
seek to place the bill op the Sen
ate calendar without referral to
committee.
Such a motion would be debata
ble. opening the way for a fili
buster against it by Southern foes
of civil rights legislation. But it is
anticipated that a motion will be
made to table and thus kill the
motion to bypass committee con
sideration.
A tabling motion is not debata
ble and thus a test vote could be
forced that Republicans feel would
dramatize the split between
Northern and Southern Democrats
over civil rights legislation.
Republican leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois told a reporter
he expects to offer the bill today.
He said also ne plans to offer
the motions designed to keep the
bill out of the hands of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, headed by
Sen. James 0. Eastland (D.-Miss.).
This committee long has been a
graveyard for civil rights mea
sures.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D.-
Ga.), chief strategist of the South
ern forces, left no doubt he will
use every available resource to
block action.

nationals there would have pro
tection and safety.
Hammarskjold sounded a
warning in the council against
any unilateral act ion that
would bar the UN from its goal
of establishing or de r in the
newborn African republic. He
said such action would extend
the East-West conflict to the
African continent.
He ticked off his defiance to
threats of independent action
against Katanga that have come
from the Soviet Union, Ghana
and Guinea among others.
Without naming any country,
he told the council. "It does not
help the UN effort if it has to live
under a threat of any one—or
more contributing government
taking matters in its—or their—
own hands, breaking away from
the UN force and pursuing a uni
lateral policy."

A fourth point—in a provisional
agenda sent to member govern

joint defense of democratic insti

system incompatible with such

But the OAS Council, acting on
a committee r e c o m mendation,
toughened this up and asked the
ministers to review inter-Ameri
