Hal leck today labeled as "politi--cal baloney" Democratic sug gestions that additional Re publican support will be need ed to force quick House action -on the civil rights bill. Halleck and Senate Repub lican Leader Everett M. Dirk sen served as spokesmen for the Republican congressional leaders following their first "legislative meeting with Pres ident Eisenhower for the cur rent session of Congress. No Dissuasion Attempted . The civil rights fight in the House came up in the White House meeting. Halleck said ,,'Jater that while he personally did not sign discharge peti . tions, he was not attempting . to dissuade or persuade any Republicans in connec t i o n with the petition. "Trying to shift the respon sibility to the Republicans is .not going to stand up," Hal leck told reporters. . The civil rights bill is now T stalled in the House Rules ; Committee. A key House GOP member said today he doubted "that northern Democrats "would get enough GOP sup .port to force action on it. 'Signatures Needed c : The Democrats frankly ad- rmit they need about 60 Re- - publican signatures on a peti tion to pry the bill out of the 'rules group and bring it to the floor for action. Halleck said he was sup porting the civil rights bill as reported by the House Judici ary Committee in the last ses sion. He said he thought it was possible to bring the "measure to the House floor in the "regular manner" with out proceeding through a dis - charge petition for which "the Democrats are seeking signa tures. i A GOP source, who asked "not to be identified by name, : said it would be "difficult" to :get 60 Republicans to sign a '.discharge petition, even I though some may favor the bill.

It seems that the new boundary line cuts through the powerhouse of John Day dam, now under construction on the Columbia river. The Oregon Commission was notified of this situation by Oregon State Engineer Lewis Stanley. . The shifting channel of the Columbia served as the old boundary. The new line was set up by using fixed points and the powerhouse situation has developed because the Army engineers final site for the dam was different from two original alternate sites. Freeman Holmer, Salem, chairman of the Oregon Com mission, said as far as he knew the only problem re garding the bisected power house would be one of taxa tion. Stanley was authorized by the commission to "initiate discussions" with Washington state authorities on the matter.

Chang read a statement de nouncing the U.S. for its part in the apparent defection of the diplomat. But he refused to answer newsmen's ques tions about Chinese treatment of the American. The statement said Chang Chienyu, a staff member of the Bombay Chinese Consu late, "was kidnapped by mem bers of the U.S. Consulate General in Bombay" Nov. 26, Said Held by Force The Americans held Chang in the cousulate by force "and threatened to kill him if he stuck to his refusal" to ap ply for a "political asylum" in the U.S., the statement said. The Communist version was diametrically opposed to the U.S. version of the incident. According to the U.S. ver sion, Marine Sgt. Robert Arm strong, attached to the U.S. Consulate in Bombay, was dragged into the Chinese con sulate by four Communists and was beaten and threaten ed when he attempted to re cover a tape-recorded state ment Chang made in volun tarily" requesting asylum. a relative had asked him to Instead of the information.

S. (Protest Against -Grab off InloDdnngs Havana (UPD The Cuban government Monday night re jected a U.S. protest against seizure of North American holdings in Cuba: and said a formal protest railed to deal with "a basic situation" of Cuba's new agrarian reform laws. A statement by acting For eign Minister Marcelo Fer nandez Font made it clear Cuba would formally reject a State Department note hand ed over Monday to U.S. Am bassador Phillip W. Bonsai. However, Fernandez promised to study the note further. Fourth Protest Not ' In dealing with a similar American protest last June a spokesman first criticized the Washington note and the revo lutionary government later rejected it officially. Mon day's was the fourth U.S. pro test note in a year. U.S. insistence on cash pay ment for Americans whose property in Cuba is seized by the Fidel Castro government put a new strain on the al ready cool U.S. -Cuba rela tions, and Fernandez state ment made 'it clear Cuba would continue expropriating property. Position Reiieraled "Upon receiving the U. S. note we had the opportunity to reiterate to his excellency REBELS AMBUSH FRENCH Algiers, Algeria -IPD- Mos lem rebels ambushed a French military detachment at Arago, 24 miles northwest of Con stantine, Sunday.

Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.). the firm position of the revo lutionary government to speed up the working of the agrar ian reform, applying the same measures of expropriation and compensation both to national and foreign citizens, submit ting all doubtful cases to the proper Cuban courts," the Fernandez statement said. Fernandez also criticized the State Department for re leasing the contents of the note to the press and said this "does not follow the estab lished diplomatic usages." Concerns Denial of Rights The text of the stiffly word ed U.S. note was not made public, but the U.S. Embassy said it concerned the "denial of basic rights of ownership to-U.S. citizens in Cuba - rights provided under both Cuban law and generally ac c e p t e d international law." This meant payment for prop erty seized." -' prevailing in the united States and the efforts the United States is exerting for the cause of freedom." The statement said the Americans stopped him, took him into another room and threatened to kill him unless he applied for political asyl um. Th Chinese statement said Chang pretended to agree and copied out a statement dictated by the Americans- applying for asylum and con demning intelligence work carried out by China in for eign countries. Apparently Changed Mind American officials orevious- ly had said - Chang went to the consulate and applied for asylum voluntarily. Chang apparentlv had a change of heart and took his tape recorded statement to the Chinese Communist Consulat with him. Armstrong was dragged into the Chinese consulate from the street out side it.
