DIRKSEN SEES PASSAGE
Senate Committee
OKs Distrctin Bill
.WASHINGTON (P) - A bill to delay court-ordered legislative
reapportionments won speedy Senate committee approval yesterday
and was ticketed for a fast ride to President Lyndon B. Johnson's desk.
Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill) said he will try to attach the
measure to the $3.5-billion foreign aid authorization bill now before
the Senate.
"The foreign aid bill is certain to hit the President's desk soon,"
Dirksen told newsmen.
Dirksen, the Senate Republican leader, predicted quick Senate
approval after the judiciary committee voted 10-2 to clear the bill
- ithout the usual formality of
kS public hearings.

PREMIER TSHOMBE
Rebellion
Moves into
S tanleyville
LEOPOLD VILLE (M-The East
Congo rebellion surged yesterday
into Stanleyville, the biggest of its
targets, and then evidently ebbed.
Congolese troops pressed Commu-
nist-backed insurgent warriors in-
to a withdrawal across the United
States consulate's lawn.
Fearful that Stanleyville would
fall by attack from without and
a leftist fifth column within, of-
ficials had already ordered an aer-
ial exodus of white women and
children, including dependents of
theU.S. consulate staff.
Dispatches reporting the clash
south of the city said the rebels
were lightly armed. But they are
skilled bush fighters who have
rarely been equipped with modern
weapons in the skirmishing that
has given them control of a 500-
mile are northward from Albert-
ville, the captive capital of North
Katanga.
Larger Group
They were believed to be part
of a larger insurgent group at-
tacking Wanie Pukula. At last re-
ports, the troops there were hold-
ing out.
Should Stanleyville fall to the
rebels, they would then be ex-
pected to seek diplomatic recogni-
tion for their regime, raising once
again the specter of secession in
the crisis-weary Congo.
The morale of the 600-man gar-
rison of Stanleyville was describ-
ed as fairly good. In only a few
instances, however, have the Con-
golese troops been able to hold
their lines successfully against the
howling, spear-bearing rebels who
believe they are protected by
witchcraft.

OKL.Broad
Federal
Pay Raises
WASHINGTON () - Congress
quickly hustled passage yesterday
of a bill providing yearly pay
raises ranging . from $10,000 for
some top government officials
down to $100 for lowest ranking
civil service and postal employes.
The bill, covering about 1.7 mil-
lion federal employes, now goes to
the White House for signing by a
sympathetic President Lyndon B.
Johnson, who has repeatedly con-
tended federal salaries are too low
to attract and keep highly com-
petent personnel.
Members of Congress, who fre-
quently worry about voting them-
selves pay raises in an election
year, appeared assured the action
would not become an issue this
time.
Favored by Both
Just before the ,House shouted
through the bill by voice, Rep.
Morris K. Udall (D-Ariz) said
both Johnson and Sen. Barry
Goldwater (R-Ariz) favored it.
Members of Congress get $7500
salary hikes under the measure,
bringing their pay to $30,006 a
year, except for the speaker of
the House who gets an $8000 boost
to $43,000.
The vice-presidency, now va-
cant, is also down for an $8000 in-
crease to $43,000.
$556 Million Cost
The total cost of the bill is es-
timated at $556 million a year.
That comes on top of another
estimated $207 million in pay
raises Congress approved Monday
for military personnel.
Under the civilian pay raise
measure, the 10 members of the
President's cabinet get $10,000 a
year raises, boosting their salaries
to $35,000.
At the bottom end of the scale,
more than one million classified
civil service workers will gain
raises ranging from 2.7 per cent
to 22.5 per cent of their present
salaries, and 600,000 postal em-
ployes will get average hikes of
5.6 per cent.
The nine Supreme Court jus-
tices will get raises of $4500,
bringing the chief justice to
$40,000 a year and the others to
$39,500.
Several House members said
the raise for the Justices was too
low and ascribed it to members
of Congress who are angry at
certain Supreme Court, decisions.
"When we enagage in an act of
vengeance because we don't agree
with the Supreme Court, we are
setting a very dangerous prece-
dent," said Rep. Charles S. Joel-
son (D-NJ).
All other federal judges get
raises of $7,500 under the bill,
bringing district judges to $30,000
a year and court of appeals jurists
to $33,000.
But Sen. Gordon Allott (R-
Colo), who had led a move that
resulted in slashing the Justices'
raises from $7,500, said the $4,500
boost was still to high.
Senate Passes
Defense Bill
WASHINGTON W)-The Senate
completed congressional action
yesterday on the biggest annual
appropriation-a $46.7 billion fund
to equip, operate and maintain
the nation's defense forces this
fiscal year.
Senate approval was by voice
vote. Earlier House approval came
359-0.

MISSISSIPPI
FBI Finds Bodies;
Believed Workers
JACKSON, Miss. () - The FBI last night found three bodies
buried in graves at a dam site near Philadelphia, Miss., where a trio
of civil rights workers vanished six weeks ago.
Roy Moore, chief of the FBI office in the Mississippi capital, said
his agency is "fairly certain" the bodies are those of the missing
workers but he cannot be positive until laboratory tests are made.

No injuries were reported. Police
said they had arrested a number

around the area.
At one point a crowd of about
100 Negroes gathered outside as
public housing project. About 50
policemen 'fired a score of shots
into the air and the Negroes
walked back to awire fence
around the project. The police did
not follow "them. A bottle flew
from the crowd.
Began at 10
The incident began around 10
p.m. when policemen drove up to
a corner where a group of Negroes
had gathered took a Negro boy
from the crowd, placed him in the
police car and left.
Addison McLeon, a Negro mem-
ber of the board of education,'
said he followed the police car in
a board of education vehicle, only
to be cut'off by a police car that
hemmed him in at a curb.
One bomb set fire to a vacant
four-story building at about 9
p.m., but damage reportedly was
not heavy. At 8:15 pm. a bomb
flew from the roof or an upstairs
window of a building. It splattered
in the middle of the street but
caused no damage.
Police Pull Up
Ten minutes earlir a police
truck plled up to a street corner
where a group of young Negroes
were standing with newsmen and
John Bell, city head of the Con-
gress of Racial Equality.
Patrolmen armed with night-
sticks jumped from the vehicle and
yelled at the Negroes to get off
the corner "before you get your
heads cracked."
"Oh, oh; that was a mistake,"
said one of the Negroes.
"They (the police) are looking
for trouble," Bell said. "One of
these guys (policemen) is going to
provoke nsomething."
There were indications that
groups of white youths were
traveling in cars around the area
where Negro youths fought police
in bloody battles Sunday and
Monday nights. Bell said he fear-
ed this would start more trouble.
He said he and other civil rights
leaders and clerygmen had been
in the streets all day trying to
persuade young Negroes to go
home after dark.
"Everytime we'd see a bunch of
kids that looked like trouble we
stopped and talked to them to tell
them to cool it, that this kind of
stuff isn't going to get us any-
where," Bell said.

The bodies were discovered in
graves in a wooded area about six
miles southwest of Philadelphia,
around 6:30 p.m. The only word
the FBI received was by radio
from its agents.
Moore said he had talked with
Mississippi officials and the bod-
ies would be brought to the uni-
versity medical center in Jackson
for identification tests.
The three, Andrew Goodman,
James Earl Chaney and Michael
Henry Schwerner, were last seen
on the night of June 21 near
Philadelphia.
The FBI said a search party of
FBI agents turned up the bodies
while digging in thick woods and
underbrush several hundred yards
off Route 21.
The governor said the FBI told
him the bodies were located on a
farm southwest of Philadelphia
near the Neshoba County fair-
grounds.
, When the searchers first comb-
ed the area, Johnson said he was
told, they found what appeared to
be a fresh dam thrown up to
catch water in a low area.
Later, it was noticed that the
lam had collected no water de-
spite several showers in the area.
An investigation of the dam was
ordered and the excavation uncov-
ered the bodies in the fill of the
dam.
Primary Votes
Close in Kansas,
Missouri Races
By The Associated Press
Missouri and Kansas were the
scenes of tight gubernatorial pri-
mary races yesterday.
In Missouri, Secy. of State War-
ren E. Hearnes jumped into an
early lead over Lt. Gov. Hilary A.
Bush in first returns in the hot
contest for the state's Democratic
nomination for governor.
Three other candidates collected
only token votes.
The winner will face Republi-
can Ethan Shepley, former Wash-
ington University chancellor, in
November. Shepley got off,.to an
early start in a field of four and
kept widening his lead.
U.S. Sen. Stuart Symington,
seeking a third term, easily won
Democratic renomination. His No-
vember challenger will be Jean
Paul Bradshaw, Springfield lawyer
who also was nominated easily.
In Kansas, Rep. William H.
Avery took a slim lead as a close
three-man race for the Republican
nomination for governor develop-
ed in he primary voting.
Incomplete returns from 343 of
2929 precincts gave these figures:
Avery 7,599, Boyd 6,927, Wunsch
5,011, Atty. Gen. William M. Fer-
guson 2,403. Four other candidates
trailed.
In the Democratic gubernatorial
primary a race developed early
between Harry G. Wiles, member
of the Kansas-Corporation Com-
mission, and Jules V. Doty, Ottawa
attorney. Early counts gave Wiles
3,018 and Doty 1,294 with four
other candidates trailing.

Red Naval Act101
Elicits Response
BULLETIN
TOYKO (A)-Communist North Viet Nam asserted thi
morning that the United States report of another attack b
North Vietnamese torpedo boats on American destroyers in inter
national waters yesterday was "a sheer fabrication."
WASHINGTON-President Lyndon B. Johnson announced
night that United States air strikes were under way against Cc
munist naval facilities in North Viet Nam.
The announcement came as Johnson addressed the nat
over radio and television following a second attack Tuesday mc
ing by North Vietnamese PT boats on U.S. naval vessels in
Gulf of Tonkin.
"We still seek no wider war," the President said. "But," he a
ed, "repeated acts of violence against the armed forces of
United States must be met note

only with alert defense, but with
positive response."
Air Action
"Air action is now in execu-
tion," the President said, "against
gunboats and certain supporting
facilities in North Viet Nam which
have been used in the hostile
operations."
An urgent meeting of the Unit-
ed Nations Security Council to
discuss the attacks and the U.S.
response has been called for this
morning at the United States re-
quest.
Secretary of Defense Robert S.
McNamara announced in a news
conference early this morning that
air strikes against North Vietna-
mese facilities would continue to-
day.
Refuses To Identify
He refused to identify in any
detail the facilities involved, but
said that Hanoi, the capital city,
was not being attacked.
McNamara said that attacks
were against "the bases from
which these PT boats have oper-
ated . . . and certain other tar-
gets directly supporting the oper-
ation of the boats."
He announced the buildup of
American military strength in the
Southeast Asia region from the
Western Pacific, 'and replacement
of the forces thus moved by troops
from the continental United
States.
Congressional Resolution
The President said that he also
is asking Congress to adopt a reso-
lution "making it clear that our
government is united in its de-
termination to take all necessary
measures in support of freedom,
and in defense of peace, in South-
east Asia.".
The chief executive injected
word that he had reached Sen.
Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz), the
Republican presidential nominee,
in Balboa, Calif., to tell him of
what he was going to say.
"I am glad to say he has ex-
pressed his support of the state-
ment'I Iam making tonight,"
Johnson'said.
In Balboa, Goldwater backed
Johnson's proposal as "the only
thing he can do under the eircum-
stances."
'Will Subscribe'
"I am sure that every American
will subscribe to the actions out-
lined in the President's state-
ment," Goldwater said. "We can-
not allow the American flag to be
shot at anywhere on earth if we
are to retain our respect and
prestige."
Johnson said he also had been
given assurances the resolution he
wants from Congress will be pass-
ed quickly with overwhelming sup-
port.
Johnson reported to the nation
by radio and television-at the re-
quest of the networks - several
hours after a 90-minute confer-
ence with congressional leaders of
both parties, and other top offi-
cials.
Follows Disclosure'
The conference followed right
after disclosure by the Pentagon
of a second North Vietnamese
attack on United States destroy-
ers-the Maddox and the C. Turn-
er Joy-in which it said two of
the attacking Red PT boats were
probably sunk and two others
damaged.
It was more than three hours
after the congressional session
broke up that Johnson went on
the air to speak as President
and commander in chief and say
that renewed hostile actions
against U.S. ships on the high

Set Back

The fall of Stanleyville to the
rebels, who are backed by the
Chinese Communists, would be a
sharp setback to Premier Moise
Tshombe's campaign to pacify and
unite the huge, turbulent coun-
try. The entire northeastern Con-
go would be effectively cut off
from the control of Leopoldville.
Rebel leader Gaston Emile Sou-
mialot might claim the city as
the capital for a "Popular Re-
public of the Congo" he recent-
ly proclaimed. It was the seat
in 1961 of the Communist-sup-
ported breakaway regime of An-
toine Gizenga. Gizenga is a for-
mer deputy premier freed by
Tshombe July 15 after 22 years
imprisonment.
Troops were at last report still
holding Wanie Rukula, about 30
miles southeast of Stanleyville,
after a brush with a rebel band
Monday.
