Rayburn rales Out Tax Higher Wage C nuts, SIBS CtaoiiDfledy's Coup in Fails To Washington -UPD- Sen. John F. Kennedy's (D-Mass.) politi cal coup in Ohio failed today to jolt Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) into any primary bat tles for the Democratic presi dential nomination. A third major Democratic contender, Sen. Humphrey (D- Minn.), said he would stay in the fight for his party's presi dential nomination even if he lost the key Wisconsin pri mary in April. But he said he had no intention of losing there or elsewhere. To Be Favorite Son Ohio Gov. Michael V. Di Salle Tuesday in effect gave his state's 64 convention votes to Kennedy by unexpectedly announcing he would cam paign, in the May 3 primary as a favorite son candidate pledged to the Massachusetts senator. DiSalle, a Roman Catholic like Kennedy, said he did not think any major candidate would challenge him in the Ohio primary. This meant that Kennedy could skip that race and concentrate on cam paigning for convention dele gates in other state primaries. Kennedy and Humphrey have declared they are formal candidates for the Democratic nomination. Symington, Sen ate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson (Tex.) and Ad lai E. Stevenson, unsuccessful 1952 and 1956 candidate, are Communists Said Possible Behind Anti-Semitism Bonn, Germany -(UPB- The West German government said today that Communists may be in back of recent anti Semitic outbursts in this coun try. Government press chief Felix von Eckardt said there was "no positive proof that the incidents were organized and controlled by a single or ganization but he added "we hope to have the proof soon." Von Eckardt told United Press International after his formal news conference that the synagogue desecration in Cologne Christmas Eve, which started the rash of incidents throughout German and the world, probably was. spon taneous and unorganized. Can Help Only Enemies "But the rash of incidents following appears to have definitely been steered by a central organization," he said. "And these incidents can help only the enemies of the Federal Republic, namely the Communists." He said there were "definite conclusions" that the inci dents had been organized by some central group. An unsmiling Chancellor Konrad Adenauer called in his top aides to discuss the growing anti-Semitic distur bances. His conferences were ex pected to result in two-fisted measures to stamp them out. The United States occupies with Great Britain a number of islands in the South Pa cific, notably the Gilbert and Ellice islands. HOUSEWARES - GIFTS - f ANDIRONS & TOOL SETS!

Phone SP 2-5201 dndu More Liberal Social Security Program Visioned Washington (UPD Speaker Sam Rayburn, ruling out ma jor tax cuts, predicted today that the election year Con gress will boost the $1 an hour minimum wage and liberalize the social security program. Rayburn made the state ment to newsmen as the sec ond session of the 86th Con gress convened. Civil Rights Action Urged Rayburn invited House members - but pointedly did not urge them to take quick action to pass a pending civil rights bill which would bol ster voting rights in the South and provide new penalties for obstructing school desegrega tion orders. Civil rights, social security and minimum wage legisla tion are among the numerous election year . problems con fronting the second session of the 86th Congress, from whose ranks could come the next President of the United States. The ' session- also will be charged with election year politics. Five presidential hopefuls are in the Senate. President Speaks Thursday The opening day session of both the House and Senate were largely routine and cere monial. No formal business was planned in either body until after President Eisenhower delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session Thursday. National defense, another major issue, got prompt at tention. Two senators, a Democrat and a Republican, called for strengthening America's de fenses. Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn.) said that a deter mined fight should made for a "sharp" boost in spending for missiles, nuclear submarines and conven tional military forces. His GOP colleague from Connecticut, Sen. Pres- cott Bush, said the United States must make sure that "national defenses remain im pregnable until an effective, controlled disarmament is ne gotiated." Farm Legislation Doubtful Rayburn, discussing the legislative outlook for the new session, said measures dealing with school construction, housing and aid for depressed areas would be considered this year. He indicated doubt that any new farm legislation would become law in view of the stalemate between the administration and Congress on the issue. Rayburn said no decision had been reached on whether the Democratic leadership will go along with Eisenhow er's renewed insistence that Congress repeal the 4V4 per cent ceiling on interest on marketable government bonds. Leaders of the Democratic majority, frustrated last year by Eisenhower's effective use of the veto, postponed any maneuvering until after the chief executive delivers his State of the Union message. Denmark Bars Nuclear Vessel Copenhagen (UPD Den mark will not allow the U. S. nuclear freighter Savannah to visit here unless the United States supplies full informa tion about its safety equip ment, it was announced today. The Danes would not let the U. S. atomic submarine Naut ilus call here last year be cause U. S. authorities refused to give details of the secret equipment that guards against radiation from its reactor en gine. Atomic energy chief Christ ian L. Thomsen, who returned recently from Washington, said today he believes the U. S. will be more willing to talk about the safety devices that protect the Savannah. "We expect a report on the problems of nuclear vessels in harbor from a Danish en gineer who spent nearly a year in the United States studying the subject," Thom sen said. "This report will be of great value, but only a security re port from the American au thorities would be decisive." NIXON TO SPEAK South Bend," Ind.-filPD-Vice President Richard M.
