:-v HKRAI.D AND NEWS. Klamath Raise Asked For Cotton Allotments WASHINGTON! (L'PH - Chair man Allen J. Ellender o the Son ale Afiriculture Committee, called on the administration Saturday to raise 3 cotton planting al lotments and reduce the govern ment's cotton support price. His position was a blow to the administration, which is pressing Congress for quick action on leg islation coupling a new cotton sub sidy plan with more flexible plant ing controls. When the administration plan was formally unveiled in Presi dent Kennedy's farm message Thursday, Ellender gave it a cool reception, saying he thought a "more reasonable and realistic approach" could be found.' Defines Ideas Today the Louisiana Democrat, who led the fight for Kennedy's 10(2 farm bill, defined the "more reasonable approach" in an inter view. He said Agriculture Secre tary Orville L. Freeman could use the provisions of present law to reduce price supports from the l!a level of 32.47 cents a pound and to increase planting allot ments. hllender said his mind was "not completely closed" on Pres ident Kennedy's plan and "Im open to conviction." But as of the present, he added, "I think the secretary ought to try to make the present law work." The administration proposal calls for a federal payment to the cotton trade, allowing handlers to buy from farmers at the federal support level and resell to do mestic textile mills at lower, more competitive prices. The subsidy is designed to relieve the problem caused by the fact that foreign mills can buy U.S. raw cotton (or 8.5 cents a pound less than the present domestic price. The gov ernment pays an export subsidy on overseas cotton sales to ena hie U.S. cotton to compete on the world market. Kxtra Acreage The administration plan also would allow farmers to exceed their 19M acreage allotments by up to 20 per cent, according to one top administration spokesman with cotton grown on the extra acreage priced at the low world market level. A House cotton subcommittee is expected to complete public hear ings on the proposal Monday. Ellender said he feared the President's proposals would he "so costly there would be no chance of getting them through Congress." "We should not be increasing the cost 'of government pro grams'. We should be trying to decrease them," he added. Undersecretary of Agriculture Charles S. Murphy earlier had told the House cotton subcommit tee there was no way under pres ent law to increase the l!Ni3 cotton planting allotment. This has al ready been fixed at IB million acres compared with the 1W2 al lotment of m.l million acres. Tugs Loosen Big Carrier ALAMEDA. Calif. 'UPD - An armada of 10 heaving, straining tugboats pulled into deep water Saturday night the gigantic air craft carrier Coral Sea which grounded while returning to Ala meda Naval Air Station from training operations. The Navy waited until R pm. two hours prior to high tide, be fore ordering the towing job to proceed. An hour later the Kl.onn lon carrier floated free. A cursory inspection showed no .signs of serious damage, and she was taken to her regular berth alongside the is'and base. The !7a - foot carrier ran aground Saturday morning in the Oakland Estuary, a linger of San Francisco Bay. (In hoard was civilian pilot. Capt. Irving T. Tjalldeen. and the Coral Sea's skipper. Capt. Robert M. Elder of Milwaukee. Ore. It was not known which man was di recting the tricky navigation of the c.-tuary. At the lime of the mishap fog had cut visibility to 200 yards, the Navy said. The carrier's fuel supply was transferred to barges, considerably shortening her draft. All the Coral Sea's aircraft had Keen proviou-.lv flown to land hacs, said the Navy. The car rier, of the Midway class, carries a complement of 2400 officers and men. It was the second time this year a carrier had grounded in the hay.

Nixon volun teered his now famous "advis ory opinion." The present battle is in a week end lull after 18 days of debate. The Southerners fighting t h e anti-filibuster rule met Friday and laid undisclosed plans for two more weeks of maneuvering which many observers feel will win the fight (or them again. Tlie one revision of the Senate's famed rule 22 came on Jan. 12 after six days of debate. It was considered a moderate for ward step and was engineered by Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, now the vice president. But the liberals are still trying In the past six years, there have been nine roll call totes on the issue, including Thursday's 53-42 deleat for the liberals. The ultimate objective of the liberal bloc is a cloture igagi rule which would permit a major ity of the Senate, 51 members, to halt debate. The present rule requires the votes of two-thirds of those present and voting 67 if all :e present. Drew More Sup)Mirt This year the liberals drew ad ditional support by concentrating on a more moderate goal lo per mit three-fifths of those voting, 60 members if all arc on hand to kill a talkathon. A motion to take up that proposal is now pending. It was on the opening day o the 85th Congress, Jan. 3. 1937, that Nixon offered his "advisory opinion that the existing rule Family Eyes Wagon Tour RICHMOND.

Jan. 4. the Sen ate by a 55-38 vote tabled a lib- ral motion that the Senate assert this right. When the 86th Congress opened on Jan. 7, 1959, Nixon reiterated his opinion when the rules issue was raised again. This time, John- on's proposal to ease the old gag rule was the pending Senate busi ness. The aim was to permit two-thirds of those present and voting to end a filibuster. The liberals offered as a sub- stitute (or Johnson's amendment their by now familiar plan to end debate bv a majority vole. It wast abled by a 60-36 vote. Revision Approved Three more days of debate fol lowed. Finally, on Jan. 12. the Johnson revision was approved 2-22. But first the Senate reject ed two more liberal alternatives. A majority vote amendment bv Sen. Paul H. Douglas, 11-111., was defeated. 28-67. and a three-fifths rule amendment by Sen. Thrus ton B. Morton, R-K)., lost on a 3B-58 vote. When the 87th Congress con vened Jan. 3. 1961, the liberals tried again. This time the issue dragged on (or nine days. On Jan. 11, on motion of Dem ocratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, the liberal proxsal was referred to the Rules Com mittee for consideration and later action. The vote was 50-46. A proposal for a three-filths gag rule vote was reported to the Senate by the Rules Committee without recommendation the fol lowing September. On Sept. 16, 1961, the liberals filed a cloture ctit!on. Three days later, on Sept. 19, they lost by a 37-43 vote. Mansfield then moved to table the matter and the Senate so voted, 46-35. There it rested until the return of the new 88th Con gress on Jan. 9. From six years of maneuvering there emerges one predictable fact the liberals will be back hammering on the door for a tighter filibuster rule. Some day they are convinced, it will swin open. 5 Stranded Boys Saved RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif ( UPD Sheriff 's deputies and fire men shot a rope 200 Ieet across the storm-swollen American River early Saturday and rescued five teen-age boys stranded on an island.
