. Johnson's new plan was de
signed to keep Southerners
close to the floor day and

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

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

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.
Others favored waiting un

Nixon Believed Turning From
'Soft on Communism' Attacks
By RAYMOND LAHR
Washington-IUPD-Vice Presi
dent Richard M. 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." . ..

been speculation that some

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."

Editor's note In the following
dispatch, the South American news
editor for United Press Internation
al analyzes the results of President
Eisenhower's . recent hemisphere
tour.
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

major contributor.
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."

Obscene Literature
Ordinance Invalid
Portland-UPD-Circuit Judge
Pro Tem Barnett Goldstein
ruled Monday that Portland's
city ordinance on obscene lit
erature and pictures is in vio
lation of the state constitu
tion.
Judge Goldstein's ruling
came in a 12-page memoran
dum he wrote in dismissing
the case against James E
Lienhard, Portland, for pos
session of an allegedly ob
scene photograph.
In the memorandum Judge
Goldstein said state law on
obscene or indecent materials
prohibits possession but
makes it illegal only if they
are possessed "with intent to
publish, sell, lend, give away,
distribute, show or exhibit."

Humphrey Attacks Failure
To Coordinate EDasarmamefat
Washington-(UPl)-Senate dis
armament chairman Hubert
H. Humphrey (P-Minn.) ac
cused the administration to
day of "indefensible" failure
to coordinate disarmament re
search. He called for creation
of a national peace agency.
Humphrey, a candidate for
the Democratic presidential
nomination, keynoted a Dem
ocratic demand that America
try to crack the East-West
disarmament deadlock with
some "giant step."
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. But he said far
greater effort was needed.
"There must be American
leadership, American drive.
American ingenuity to make
a breakthrough that would
end the arms race and secure
the safety of our nation at
the same time." he said.
"There must be a way out."
Other congressional news:
Space: Chairman Overton
Brooks (D-La.) of the House
Space committee, came out
against an administration pro-
posal to eliminate two organ
izations which form the only
formal link between the De
fense Department and the ci
vilian space agency. Brooks
declared, "I don't see how
the administration can avoid
keeping, a channel of com
munications between these
two agencies." The lawmaker
made the comment as his com
mittee called T. Keith Glen
nan, head of the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration, to testify on the
administration proposal.
Proxmir: Sen. William
Proxmire (D-Wis.) criticized
what he termed the "lavish
hospitality" accepted by Fed
eral Communications Com
mission Chairman John C.
Doerfer and Civil Aeronau
tics Board Chairman James
Durfee. He said there was
"national indignation" over
Doerfer's trips on the yacht
and plane of a radio-TV chain
president. Proxmire said Dur
fee accepted three trips from
airlines, including two that
had cases pending before the
CAB. The senator vowed to
continue his fight against Dur
fee's nomination to be a fed
