Senate Sets Record for Continuous Sessions During Covin lights debate Engine Trouble Forced Changes In Ike's Plans Ramey Air Force Base, Puerto Rico-IUPD-Engine trou ble forced minor changes in President Eisenhower's sched ule several times during his South American tour, but Thursday wa3 the first time he ran into difficulties while flying over a jungle in a jet An oil leak made it neces sary for Col. William G. Draper, the presidential pilot, to shut down the No. 4 en gine of Eisenhower's big 737 jetliner over the Brazilian jungle, an hour before arriv ing in Paramaribo, capital of of Surinam Dutch Guiana. Draper alerted air-rescue units in the area just in case, but he told newsmen later that he never doubted that the big jet would arrive safely in Paramaribo. Three engines provide more than enough power for safe operation of the plane. In previous instances where minor malfunctions had af fected the Eisenhower trip, the plane involved was the President's propeller - driven "Columbine." In no instance did engine trouble cause more than a brief delay. Throughout the trip, the plane in which the President was traveling has been fol lowed up by an identical plane and ab ya big Hercules turbo - prop transport, used mainly to carry spare parts but also having space for pas sengers. All All of the passengers from the President's plane transferred to the second 707, and six of the passengers who had been traveling in the sec ond jet remained aboard. The others finished the trip in the Hercules. The crippled 707 was left in Paramaribo for repairs.

Morton Washington -(DPD- The Sen ate set a record for around-the-clock sessions early today during a debate in which tempers flared briefly over a proposal to gag the Southern filibuster against civil rights legislation. After the dispute was re solved with apparent good feelings all around, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson said he would like to wait at least until next week before trying to choke off the talkathon with a rarely-used cloture petition. At 1:38 a.m. (e.s.t.) the Sen ate had been in session day and night for 85 hours and 23 minutes, except for a 15-min-ute recess, equalling the rec ord set during a 1954 fili buster on atomic engery. That debate was broken by a 24 minute recess. The civil rights talkathon will set the record for a con tinuous session unbroken by any temporary recess if it's still going at 1:38 p.m. The old mark, 54 hours and 10 minutes, was set during a 1915 debate on President Woodrow Wilson's ship purchase act. The gag rule flare-up start ed when Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) placed a cloture pe tition on the Senate clerk's desk and Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky.) tore the paper to shreds and dropped it into a waste basket. The lawmakers later shook hands and dismissed the in cident with smiles.

Dissension Delays Filing of Charges Against Hoffa Washington -(CPD- Growing dissension among monitors named to supervise a Team ster's "housecleaning" has de layed filing of new corruption charges against Union Presi dent James R. Hoffa. Informed sources said to day the charges, prepared by monitor chairman Martin F. O'Donoghue, have been await ing board approval for more than a week. A heated clash Thursday amonk O'Donoghue and two other members of the "watch dog" group - Daniel Maher, and Lawrence Smith-further delayed a decision. Another board meeting was set for to day. Hot Verbal Exchange Maher, who represents the Teamsters, and Smith, spokes man for rank-and-file rebels seeking to reform the union, were allied against the chair man in the hot verbal ex change. This broke up Thurs day's session before the c h a rg e s concerning Hoffa could be brought to a vote. The dispute was reported to have involved charges and countercharges of bad faith or slowdowns in carrying out monitor duties. The monitors are seeking Hoffa's removal as president of the nation's largest union and his expulsion from mem bership. They have accused him, with Maher dissenting, of mishandling union funds in connection with a Florida real estate deal. Hoffa's trial on these charges is set for late April.
