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

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

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." :
