Monday. July 16. 1S56 MEDFORD fOEEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Congress Speeds Up Work Load in Effort To Adjourn in Two Weeks Waihington U.R) Con- fresi stepped up its work tempo today in an effort to adjourn within two weeks. Both houses began the rush to wind up the 84th session by calling up for debate controvers ial matters involving, directly or indirectly, the racial issue. The House tackled President Eisenhower's four-point civil rights program and braced for what was likely to be its sharp est and most prolonged debate of the year. Southerners were ready to put through every pos sible parliamentary block in the bill's path, but it was expected to pass. The Senate, meeting 2V4 hours earlier than usual, planned to consider Mr. Eisenhower's nom ination of Solicitor General Si mon E. Sobeloff to be a Circuit Court of Appeals judge in the circuit covering Virginia, Mary land, West Virginia and North and South Carolina. Southerners also object to Sobeloff's nomination. As solic itor general he presented to the Supreme Court the government's arguments on how the court's school desegregation decision should be carried out. Congress hoped to wind up its session in time for members to have a brief vacation before the national political conventions. The Democratic convention op ens Aug. 13 at Chicago; the Re publican convention, Aug. 20 at San Francisco. There were some optimistic predictions that Congress would quit by the end of this week and some pessimistic ones that adjournment is unlikely until in early August. But the week end of July 28 was considered the best bet. The big issues remaining to be dealt with are: Civil Rights: With the back ing of nearly all Republicans and Northern Democrats, the measure is virtually certain to pass the House. But most obser vers believe it will be sidetrack ed in the Senate, where it would face a Southern filibuster. Foreign Aid: The Senate plan ned to take up this week a bill providing S4,000,000,000 foreign aid appropriations, but a floor fight to trim it appeared likely. The House already has approv ed a $3,400,000,000 appropria tion. A conference committee probably will have to work out a compromise figure. Social Security: A bill lower ing retirement ages for women and disabled workers is sched uled for Senate debate this week. The House passed a similar bill last year, Housing: The Senate has pass ed a housing bill continuing pres ent housing programs and pro viding for expanded public hous ing. In the House, the measure has bogged down in the Rules committee in a fight over the public housing features. There are a number of other bills slated for consideration in one or both houses. Among these is the administration measure to raise postal rates. It has cleared the House but may not get be fore the Senate before adjourn ment. Senate-approved bills await ing House action include legis lation authorizing government construction of atomic power re actors, a flood insurance pro gram and liberalized insurance program and liberalized pensions for federal workers. Public Speaking Study Seen as Divorce Cure Waterloo, Iowa (U.R) The past president of Toastmasters International said today he has a plan to prevent divorce. Charleton Sias said if all hus bands and wives would study public speaking, they would learn not to speak on the spur of the moment and would also un- Sightseeing Seen Possible Crash Cause Portland, Me. (U.R) A congressional investigator says the crash of two airliners June 30 into Grand Canyon which killed 128 persons may have re sulted from "sightseeing." Rep. Robert Hail (R-Me.), said the pilots may have veered off their prescribed course to give passengers a view of the canyon. "If this is what happened, and it doesn't seem to me unlikely, the passengers paid a very high price for a few moments of scen- derstand the importance of listening. AGAINST BILL New Orleans (U.R) The Sugar Bowl association Saturday called on Gov. Earl Long to veto a bill, passed by the recent ses sion of the Legislature, which would prohibit Negro and white athletes from competing with or against each other in Louisiana. ic enjoyment," Hale said. Hale was a member of the special congressional committee which inspected the site of the apparent collision of the two air liners. Hale said both the United and Trans World airlines planes were off course, and that the only point where their paths would cross was over Colorado. The planes never reached that point.
