Thomas Ootid Triggers Spate in Charge of 'Dribbling' Pace of Senate By WnXIAM THEI8 United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - Why has it taken the Senate so long to accomplish so little? Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D Conn., triggered a spate of soul-searching oratory when he charged that Democratic Lead er Mike Mansfield, Mont., was responsible for the Senate's "dribbling" pace. . "If we're going to get about our business, he's got to be a leader and say no sometime," Dodd said. He did not spare Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111. He said the oppo sition "has become so compla cent, so soft, so cozy that it doesn't amount to much." As is his custom, the mild mannered Mansfield turned the other cheek, insisting that Con gress' record required no apol ogies. Dirksen blasted Dodd Bids Called for Construction of Galice Area Road Sealed bids for construction of a segment of the Galice Road located in the Northwest Admin istrative Area of the Medford district, Bureau of Land Man agement, are now being accept ed by the Bureau of Public Roads and will be received until 2 p.m. Nov. 20.

Court 4 McAndrewt 772-2111, and said the Connecticut Demo crat was displaying "cerebral incoherence." The Dodd outburst and the ensuing debate pointed up the mounting frustration on Capitol Hil! over the legislative slow down, however. It apears that this session will end without fi nal action on either civil rights or tax cut legislation the two big issues President Kennedy wanted settled in 1963. Mansfield and to a lesser extent Dirksen are easy tar gets, fellow senators say, but neither should bear the blame for the slowdown. They say the blame should be spread farther afield the White House, the House of Rep resentatives, Southern lawmak ers fighting civil rights legisla tion, not to mention the Sen ate's system of rules branded "archaic" by liberals. "You can put 90 per cent of it down to civil rights," one veteran senator declared. "And the blame belongs as much downtown (the White House) as in Congress." Once President Kennedy switched his 1963 program in midstream and decided to push for an omnibus civil rights bill "a lot of people began to sit on things," he said. That meant a little delay here, an extra Medford Tribune SECT'.ON D MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1963 batch of witnesses to be heard there anything to produce a stretch-out of congressional business. "The only way Southerners have of modifying the civil rights bill so they can perhaps live with it is to force it into the election year," the senator said. "And there isn't too much that Mike Mansfield or anyone else can do about it, under our system." Blames Archaic Rules Senate Republican Whip Thomas H. Kuchel, Calif., blames the Senate's "archaic rules' for most of the trouble. "You couldn't put Paul the Apostle in the majority leader's scat and have him conduct the business of the country with the rules we have," he said. Manrficld has suffered in some appraisals because he followed the flambuoyant Lyndon B. Johnson as floor leader. John son, now vice president and re moved from the legislative bat tleground, liked to dramatize his victories and screen his de feats. Mansfield, a pipe-smoking former college professor, admits that "glamor is not the hallmark" of his perforance." Part of the leadership prob lem on the Democratic side lies in holding together the differing wings of the party. Northern liberals and Southern conserva tives take a lot of organization al trouble-shooting to keep in voting harness. Mansfield's problem in this regard was magnified recently by the departure of the major ity secretary, Robert G. (Bob by) Baker. Now under investi gation for possible conflict of interest because of outside busi ness deals, Baker resigned his post Oct. 7. A Needed Conduit His outside activities aside, Democratic senators agree that Bobby provided a needed con duit for action orders and coop eration among Democratic members. A South Carolinian who had spent 21 years around the Senate, he was an agile and effective go-between and aide to the leadership. But the legislative problems already had gotten out of hand when Baker stepped out. His real loss may be felt more next year. From time to time there has been speculation that Mansfield might give up the majority leadership, even give up his Senate seat to return to aca demic life. He is a candi date for re-election in 1064 and favored to win, however. The current spate of criticism will not cause him to step out of the leadership, intimates said. "Even if he wanted' to, we wouldn't let him," said a Pern-, ocratic senator,. "He's too easy-going at times for his own good, but that can change. Be sides, we're all to blame for this situation. And some of us are ashamed of what just happened." And Dodd, the man who start ed it all, said "Amen" to that last night. He told the Senate he felt "like a skunk at a lawn party" and conceded it might have been "wiser" to have "kept my mouth shut." Describing Mansfield as a "very great man," Dodd said, "he has my respect and affec tion as well as my loyalty." : rPENNEYS"MONDAY "Tuesday! hurry j don't missh THESE TREMENDOUS BARGAINS !
