Johnson's new plan was de signed to keep Southerners close to the floor day and night. The Southern strategy has been to leave only two or three Dixie lawmakers in the chamber and then demand quorum calls . through the night to rout out civil rights backers. 'Keeps 'Em Guessing' Dipping into his parliamen tary bag of tricks, Johnson had the Senate vote at 4 a.m. to adjourn for five minutes. But the vote had no signifi cance because the five min utes was up before the roll call was completed. In another "keep 'em guess ing" maneuver, Johnson walk ed about the chamber asking lawmakers in a stage whisper whether they were ready to vote for cloture. It was known that he plan ned other votes in the small hours of the morning to keep the Southerners close to the floor. As part of the same strategy, Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.), raised the question of invoking a little known rule deducting a sena tor's pay for each day he is not .present. Plan House Strategy Senate liberals were agreed to try a cloture move but were split over when to make the attempt. Some civil rights backers in both parties felt the gag effort should be made immediately, even if it meant failure for the present.

Nixon's dis avowal of tactics of his New Hampshire campaign chief in dicated today he wants the GOP to turn away from the "soft on Communism" attacks he has used himself against Democrats in past campaigns. Gov. Wesley Powell of New Hampshire, state chairman of the Nixon campaign, leveled such a charge at Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) on the eve of today's presidential primary. Kennedy replied by accus ing Powell of a "smear." He said in effect that the gover nor did not know what he was talking about. He expressed confidence that Nixon would 'In Complete Agreement' Although his method was about as gentle as possible. Nixon did disavow. Powell's tactics. ... He might, have ignored the incident, but instead he. au- say that both Nixon and Ken nedy were "in complete agreement in their unalter able opposition to Commu nism." Nixon made much use of the "soft on Communism" charges against Democrats in this 1946 and 1950 California campaign, first as a candidate for the House, and then for the Senate. He did the same as the Re publican vice presidential nominee in 1952 and as the most active national cam paigner for GOP congression al candidates in 1954. Powell Reiterates Charge In more recent campaigns, however, he has made little use of the issue. Powell's reaction indicated that all Republicans may not share Nixon's apparent disr interest in the issue now. ; After Kennedy suggested he resign from the campaign post because of Nixon's "re pudiation," Powell dispatched a telegram to the vice presi dent saying he reiterated the charge. Powell -told Nixon "The senator you defend now has stood silent on the Commu nist issue ... and if you and the Republican Party expect to win, you must be on the at tack." . .. against civil rights legislation in their chamber. There has been speculation that some House-passed bill might be the solution to the- Senate deadlock. Proposed Drunk Law Constitutional Salem-flJPD-A proposed law which would make drunk driving a felony instead of a misdemeanor is constitution al, Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton said Monday. The opinion was requested by the Legislative Interim Highway committee, now drafting such a law. A felony is described in the Oregon constitution as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in the state penitentiary. It also provides that the punishment must fit the crime. Thornton said the State Su preme court might decide such a punishment would fit the crime "because of the se riousness of the offense and the peril to which the public is exposed by the intoxicated driver."

By WILLIAM F. HORSEY Buenos Aires - (UPD - Presi dent Eisenhower's whirlwind tour of four South American countries did much to remove from Latin' minds the sus picion that the United States is too deeply preoccupied with Europe and Asia to bother with them. Eisenhower is the first U.S. President who has taken time out for talks with the chief executives of Brazil, Argen tina, Chile and Uruguay on their home grounds. Official circles said the four South American presi dents were "unusually frank" with their distinguished guest. This fruitful on-the-ground exchange of views was strengthened by Secreatry of State Christian Herter's talks with foreign ministers Horacio Lafer of Brazil, Diogenes Ta boadaof Aregntina, German Vergara of Chile and Homero Martinez of Uruguay. Advisors Hold Talks The President's brother, Milton, and other members of the six-man National Advisory Council on Inter-American Affairs also talked with lead ers of the countries covered by the Eisenhower tour. Each of the countries on Eisenhower's itinerary got something from his visit. Eisenhower went out of his way to point out America's currently adverse balance of trade, but promised in prin ciple to keep U. S. aid flow ing to Latin America. - The President also chal lenged the Latin idea that the United States wants weak economies south of the Rio Grande in order to enrich itself. . ' Points To Resources He pointed to the resources available to Latin American countries through the World Bank, the U.S. Export-Import Bank, and - the new Inter American Bank - to each of which the United States is the t4t - .

On the political front, the President took pains to scotch the story current in Latin America that the United States prefers to do business with dictators. 'The idea is ridiculous," he said. "No nation in the world loves liberty more than the United States. "We repudiate dictatorships in any form. Our action in the United Nations and the Or ganization of American States in two world wars and Korea stands like a lighthouse for all those who love freedom."

The Minnesota lawmaker was the lead-off speaker in the Democrats round of state ments scheduled to interrupt the Senate's eight - day-old civil rights talkathon. More Effort Needd Huhmphrey noted that East-West disarmament talks reopen in Geneva next week He said there was some hope the Russians were becoming 'less rigid" on the issue of disarmament inspection on their soil.
