For weeks it has been accepted around the Senate that there would be no relief of the garrison of liberal civil rightstsupporters trapped by a filibuster unless Dirksen mounted a counter as- sault. Dirksen, the Senate Republican leader, marshaled the margin of votes needed for the necessary two thirds to break filibusters in' 1964 and 1965. Principals Block Bill But in 1966 he opposed federal enforcement of open housing as a "matter of principle." Since he said then he couldn't compromise on principle, there was no bill. In the current controversy, he has sat with folded hands while the Senate twice rejected filibuster busting cloture resolutions once by seven votes and once by six votes less than the required two thirds margin. Open Housing by States He told a news conference last week he is opposed to federal en- forcement of open housing because he says this should be a state matter. Previously he had said that provisions of the House approved bill for federal protection of Ne- groes should not be limited to them but extended to all citizens. But time and circumstances seem to have arrived for a bit of bending of principle on Dirksen's part. He said yesterday he hopes to have a compromise bill ready for the Senate today. If it is acceptable to the liberals, he said he would solicit his GOP colleagues for cloture votes that would insure its passage. Dirksen Holds the Key Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said DirksenI holds the key to passage of a bill. Dirksen has been hearing from Illinois, where' he is a candidate for re-election at the age of 72. He was particularly irked at a Chicago Daily News editorial he said carried the caption, "Dirksen slams the door on civil rights." The site of the episode is eight miles east northeast of Cape Henry, five miles beyond the three mile territorial limit claimed by the United States. Here is what happened, according to Cosat Guard spokesmen: The 26 de Julio radioed the Coast Guard at 2 a.m. it was pro- ceeding toward Norfolk, Va., with 21 persons aboard, including an unspecified number seeking poli- tical asylum. The cutter Point Brown, com- manded by Master Chief Bosun's Mate Paul Cavanass, was dis- patched to rendezvous with the 26: de Julio at the three mile limit. Ram Boat, Men Crewmen of the Point Brown, while proceeding toward the ren- dezvous, observed the 26 de Julio lower a lifeboat containing three men, then get. under way and ram the boat. Two of the occu- pants were thrown into the water and the third clung to the boat, which was swamped but remained afloat. Subsequently the sound of "what could have been gunfire"- was heard and the 26 de Julio "turned about and made another pass" at the lifeboat. After the second pass the three men could no longer be seen. WASHINGTON PP)-A scientist,1 identified by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara as "not part! of the intelligence organization" during the 1964 Tonkin Gulf in- cidents, had charge of the Defense Department's super secret Na- tional Security Agency at that time. The scientist is Dr. Eugene G. Fubini. now a vice president of International Business Machines.- "He probably knows more about what was going on in our elec- tronic surveillance of North Viet- namn then (in 1964) than any other man in Washington," a re- liable source said yesterday. However. a source connected with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said there are no plans now to call Fubini or any other witnesses lest the committee's1 "inquiry" become an "investiga- tion" of the Tonkin Gulf incidents. Dr. Fubini's office said he is on vacation in Europe and could not be reached for comment. During last week's Senate For- eign Relations Committee hear- ings on the Tonkin Gulf inci- dents, McNamara was asked by the chairman, Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark.): "I have been told there was a very responsible scientist who was well informed about and working in defense intelligence by the name of Fubini. Do you know such a man?" McNamara: "I do indeed, al- though I don't think he was work- ing in defense intelligence." Fulbright: "Well, do you trust him? Is he a trustworthy man?" McNamara: "He is a very able individual in his field, which is electrical engineering and asso- ciated subjects."

If Ficials VaishedC In Fight ~to ReganCt Restrictive LONDON (RP) - Prime Minister Harold Wilson's Labor government bill to clamp restrictions dn a flood of Asian immigrants from East Africa won approval by a wide majority in a House of Commons vote last night. Despite emotional protests by members of all three main politi- cal parties over the. measure, the vote was 372 to 62 on the second reading of the immigration bill. As the House debated the meas- ure in London, African police broke up an unruly crowd of Ken- ya Asians gathered at Nairobi air- port to bid farewell to relatives flying off to Britain. Kenyans: Beat the Clock Several aircraft were leaving last night carrying hundreds of Asians to Britain in time to beat the new immigration quota re- strictions expected to be imposed tomorrow. Anti-British slogans were chanted by some of the crowd and police were called in when they threatened to break through barriers into the airport. The new legislation, although it still has to go to committee for mmigration study and a third reading, is vir- tually certain of becoming law. With Asians arriving at Lonodn airport from Kenya in an increas- ing flow of hundreds a day, Wil- son stepped in and introduced the new law which seeks to stem the flow to 1,500 a year. 'Draconian' Measure The decision, termed Draconian by some leftwingers and liberals, brought a stream of protests. The Asians coming in were holders of British passports grant- ed when Kenya became independ- erit from British rule. Fending off charges of racism, Home Secre- tary James Callaghan said in the Commons debate that the bill to limit the current flow of Asians from Kenya would deal in the long run with a million nonwhites in former British colonies who might want to settle in Britain. The bill enables the govern- ment to set a yearly immigration quota of 1,500 for British citizens who were not born in Britain and whose parents, though citizens, were not either. Critics say the proposal has the effect of distin- guishing between white and non- white holders of British pass- ports.

Giordano that proposed penalties for possession of LSD would be aimed at pushers, rather than experimenting s t u d e n t s, cleared the way yesterday for! early action on the proposal to curb dangerous drugs. "As far as I am concerned,' Giordao told a House Commercej subcommittee, these penalties\ are not aimed at putting young peo- ple in jail. They are aimed at the trafficker." Giordano noted that the federal penalty for possession of mari- juana is now two to 10 years in prison and said, "I have yet to know of any high sphool or college student that was involved with one marijuana cigarette that was prosecuted pnder federal law." Rep. Tim Lee Carter (R-Ky.), who has termed the administra- tion proposal to make possessionj of LSD a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison "ab- solutely unenforceable," said he supported the measure and agreed with Giordano on the need to con- centrate on pushers and traf- fickers. The acting subcommittee chair- man, Rep. Paul G. .Rogers (D- Fla.) said "I'm glad to know he (Carter) is for a penalty for pos- session." "Only for a certain purpose," Carter said. Carter had been the only sub- committee member who questioned the proposed penalty for posses- sion, and all members favor thej rest of the bill, which would strengthen existing penalties cov- ering the sale, manufacture, dis- tribution and possession for sale or distribution of hallucinogens, depressants and stimulants. Giordano testified that the ab- sence of a federal law against possession of LSD is one reason for increased use of marijuana. "Since it is widely known that LSD is more potent, and more dangerous than the type of mari- juana which is usually available," he said, "the more stringent laws which control marijuana have been made to appear hypocritical. "Many young people have a way of disregarding laws which they think are hypocritical, and so the lack of sanctions governing such drugs such as LSD, has autcally helped intensify problems with marijuana," he added Quang Nam Province was vaca- Kenya have fled the former Brit- tioning in Hue when the Con- ish colony because its government, bouang inamuProvine svCam- V C -.I f o tgahsdne hmwr n munist struck.
