In a 15-4 vote, the committee sent the controversial pact to the Senate floor for consideration' within a week or two. Opponents such as Sen. Karl E. Mundt, (R-SD), say the treaty' may prolong the war by resulting in increased trade with the Soviet Union which furnishes weapons to, North Vietnam. He said he will continue to fight against the bill on the Senate floor. But committee Chairman J: W. Fulbright said after Tuesday's vote that "it could be argued that the treaty might'bring an end to the war." The treaty, said the Arkansas Democrat, who opposes the way the United States is handling the war, "is a symbol of these two countries, the United States and Soviet Union, being able to make an agreement." Forward Step Fuibright said it owuld make "re- latively minor changes in the status quo" but is a "step for- ward" in relationships between what he termed "the two super powers." Last year, the committee ap- proved the treaty but it never came to a Senate vote Majority Leader Mike Mans- field D-Mont), said he hopes to call up the treaty for Senate ac- tion as soon as the $4.5 billion military authorization bill for Vietnam and congressional reor- ganization measures are acted upon. Mansfield said the support of Hickenlooper and Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill), "was heartening." Dirksen first indi- cated he might oppose it. GOP Enthusiastic Dirksen predicted later that Re- publicans will give "quite substan- tial" backing to the treaty. He told a news conference that he had outlined at a closed session of the GOP policy committee "Various misconceptions" he said had grown up around the treaty. He said he received vigorous applause for his remarks The treaty, Mansfield said, has become "sort of a symbol" for the administration's efforts to build bridges between the East and the West. Sen. Thruston B. Morton, (R- Ky)-not a member of the com- mittee-predicted that more than the required two-thirds majority of the 100 senators will vote for ratification. A canvass of Repub- licans, he said, shows 26 expect to vote in favor, five against and leaves five undecided. The treaty would establish rules under which consulates could be operated in the two countries. It would require notification within three days if an American was ar- rested in the Soviet Union and ac- cess to the arrested persons with- in four days. It also would give diplomatic immunity to arrest of consular of- ficials on all charges, including murder and espionage. No other consular treaty contains that tprovision Opponents of the treaty say the diplomatic immunity clause would facilitate Communist espionage The United States and the So- viet Union have had no reciprocal consulates since 1948 18 ARRESTED IN '64 CASE: Negroes Protest Monday Killing of Rights Leader) NATCHEZ, Miss. (P) - Negro leader Charles Evers told his fol- lowers Tuesday they "must teach our officials here a lesson" as a result of the bombing death of Wharlest Jackson, a former offi- cial of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People who died Monday night when his truck was blown apart. Evers, Mississippi field secretary for the NAACP, demanded arrests and convictions in the case. He scheduled protest marches for Tuesday night and Wednesday, and a one-day economic boycott Saturday. s In Jackson, Gov. Paul B. John- sondescribed the crime as an "act of savagery which stains the honor of our state." Johnson said Mis- sissippians "look with scorn and contempt and disguest upon the repulsive deeds of cowards who hide in darkness to violate the law of God and of all decent men." A father of five, Jackson, 36, was on his way home from work at the Armstrong Tire and Rubber curred. Police said a bomb appa- Co. plant when' the explosion oc- rently had been placed underneath Jackson's truck. In 1965, a similar explosion in the parking lot of the Armstrong plant severely injured George Met- calfe, president of the Natchez NAACP. Jackson was treasurer of the organization until last month. Evers, whose brother Medgar was slain in a 1964 rights killing, strongly criticized officials of the Armstrong plant. He directed that Tuesday night's protest march go to the Armstrong plant. "We're going to put ourselves in front of all those Kluxers down there and say, 'You killed our brother,'" Evers told a rally at the Beulah Baptist church. "We must teach Armstrong a lesson. We must teach otir officials here a lesson." The Armstrong firm offered a' $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and convic- tion of those responsible. This sup- plements a $25,000 reward offered by the city of Natchez, and pledges of $1,000 from local businessmen. MERIDIAN, Miss (P)-Eighteen persons, including Neshoba Coun- ty Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and his chief deputy, Cecil Price, were ari'ested Tuesday after being in- dicted for conspiracy in the slay- ings of civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner and Ronald Chaney near Phyladelphia, Miss., in 1964. .or 16 of them, including Ra- iney and Price, it was the second time they had been indicted in the case. The first indictments were dismissed. The 18 men posted $5,000 bond each and were released. A 19th man indicted Monday by a federal grand jury at Jackson was not arrested here. He was identified as James Edward Jor- don. Among the arrested was Sam Bowers Jr., identified by'the FBI as the Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Bowers is under federal in- dictment in another Mississippi civil rights murder case Price has been campaigning to succeed the tobacco-chewing Rai- ney as Neshoba sheriff in the August primary election. Rainey winds up a four-year term at the end of the year and cannot suc- ceed himself under law. Murder is not a federal offense. The State of Mississippi has never taken any action in the Philadel- phia slayings. Chou Moves Up in China Power Fight Mlaoists Struggle Despite Increasing Internal Problems TOKYO (P)-The growing power of Premier Chou En-lai in main- land China led to speculation Tuesday that he may eventually emerge as the new heir to party Chairman Mao Tse-tung. Defense Minister Lin Piao, Mao's current heir, has been mis- sing from the news since last No- vember and may be ill. His health is known to be frail. Possibly working for Chou was an official New China News Agen- cy announcement yesterday that the months of March and April will be crucial in the power strug- gle between Mao and backers of President Liu Shao-chi. Red China watchers agreed that if Mao believes the two months will be decisive, he will have to call on the vigorous Chou if Lin is ailing. At 73, Mao needs a dedi- cated and energetic lieutenant to carry on the current Chinese struggle. The question about Chou arose after his order of intervention last week to army units stationed in Honan Province. As premier, Chou does not have the authority to give directions to the 2.5-million-man army. This is reserved to the supreme military organ, the Military Affairs Com- mission of the Communist Central Commmittee, headed by Mao, or the National Defense Council. Chou is not listed as a member of either. The man who normally would be calling the military shots is Lin, senior vice chairman of both bodies. It "now seems possible that be- cause of Lin's long absence, Mao has named Chou to the vice chair- manship of the Military Affairs Commission, possibly also to a similar post in the National De- fense Council. As such, he would be empowered to issue orders to the army. Lin continues, however, to be in Mao's good graces. Official pub- lications repeatedly refer to him as' Mao's "close comrade in arms." Meanwhile, Shanghai's Munici- pal Revolutionary Committee noted that "the three months of Febru- ary, March and April were the crucial period of time for fulfill- ment" of the task of rousing the masses to "seize the party, admin- istrative, financial and !cultural power," the agency said. The agency's hint that this ap- plied to all China was reinforced by a Peking wall poster reported I by the newspaper in the Red Chi- nese capital. Yomiuri said Wang Li, Red Chi- na's chief of propaganda, told a meeting of students Feb. 14: "Within three months from Febru-i ary the struggle in the proletarian; cultural revolution which has been, waged for months in various pro- vinces and cities is expected to materialize"j By The Associated Press WASHINGTON-In a message to Congress yesterday, PresidentI Johnson asked for govermentally- instituted programs to reduce cur- rent health costs. Simultaneously, Johnson proposed a $91 million booster to speed development of a' nuclear-powered space-rocket en- gine. He also called for action to pro- mote the expansion of non-com- mercial television and radio, in- cluding educational programs in particular Concerning his health proposals, Johnson announced the Depart- ment of Health, Education and Welfare will hold a national con- ference on medical costs "to dis- cuss how we can lower the costs of medical services without im- pairing the quality." The President noted that aver- age hospital costs have more than tripled since 1950 and that other medical expenses have r i s e n sharply. As part of the announcement concerning the health cost prob- lem, Johnson also recommended enactment of a Public Television Act of 1967, a measure that would include the creation of a Corpora- tion for Public Television and pro- vide it with $9 million of first- year funds. "Today," Johnson said, "edu- cational and other noncommercial television is reaching only a frac- tion of its potential audience-and achieving only a fraction of its potential worth." The President added that a stu- dy of an educational television' network using communications satellites should be one of the corporation's first task. Addressing Congress separately on the question of the proposed acceleration of the Rover program, Johnson blasted the lack of flight testing in the current program, attributing this shortcoming to a lack of funds. The Rover project was the big item in the package of three scien- tific projects totaling $149.8 mil- lion in the fiscal year starting next July 1. The rest of the mo- ney, $58.8 million after the rec- ommended $91 milllon expendi- tuyre on Rover, will be used to develop two new research facilities at the Los Alamos, NH., scientific laboratory of the Atomic Energy Commission. Among the listed expenditures allocated to the Rover program are: -$27.5 million for work on en- gine systems, supervised by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; -$22.5 million for design and initial construction of testing fa- cilities, principally at Jackass Flats, Nevada.' -$40 million to the AEC for basic research projects involved with Rover. The program itself began as a joint AEC-NASA venture in 1963- 64, with an initial budget of $183 million. Of the Rover engine itself, John- son said: "This engine will sub- stantially increase our nation's space capabilities, and will give our rockets and spacecraft im- mensely increased power and ver- satility." The Rover-powered rocket would be used in the future in man- ned interplanetary travel. By vir- tue of its nearly unlimited thrust capabilities, the Rover would pro- vide the necessary power to tra- verse great interspace distances. Congressional reaction to the Rover statement seemed generally favorable. ASK NUCLEAR BOOSTER: Johnson Proposes New Plan To Limit Rising Hospital Costs Clark Resigns Court As Son Joins Cabinet WASHINGTON (P) - President Johnson nominated Ramsey Clark on Tuesday to be attorney general. Clark's father, Justice Tom C. Clark, said he will retire from the Supreme Court. The younger Clark has been ac- ting attorney general since last October when Nicholas Katzen- bach resigned to become under- secretary of state. Viet Cong Blast U.S. Presence in Vietnam Hoffa's Bail Appeal Denied Pending New Court Action While serving on an acting basis in the top Justice Department job, Clark continued to fill his regular job, that of deputy attorney gen- eral. The idea behind Justice Clark's retirement would be to avoid con- flicts with a Justice Department headed by his son. Justice Clark said he will step down from the bench at the end of the current term at the latest. He said in a statement he will decide when= he will retire after reviewing the court's docket "for any possible conflicts in cases that may 'arise during the remainder of the term." After this review, Clark said, "I shall decide whether I should- in order to avoid untimely incon- veninence and delay to litigants and the court-remain until the end of the term, which is anti- cipated to occur in June of 1967, or retire upon Ramsey's becoming the attorney general." Johnson called newsmen into his office Tuesday afternoon to announce the new appointment By The Associated Press SAIGON-The Central Commit- tee of the National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong, charged that the United States "is stepping up and ex- tending its war of aggression, cre- ating an extremely dangerous situation in Indochina." Broadcasting over North Viet- nam's official news agency radio station, the Viet Cong represent- ative in Hanoi, Nguyen Van Thien, reaffirmed the Viet Cong's stand on their five point demands of March 22, 1965. Van Thien said that the Viet Cong plan to fight until all U.S. troops are with with- drawn from Vietnam. B52 jet bombers staged a heavy raid near Cambodia's frontier in support of Operation Junction City yesterday, while on the other side of Viet Nam, U.S. Marines in Operation Deckhouse 6 stabbed again from the sea at their ene- my's coastal holdings. U.S. fighter-bombers struck on both sides of the border amid of- ficial silence here about develop- ments in newly disclosed pressures on North Vietnam-the long-range artillery shelling, naval bombard- ment and the aerial mining ofj navigable streams. Tass, the Soviet news agency, declared, that the U.S. guided mis- sle cruiser Canberra and four de- stroyers shelled coastal areas Mon- day, 80 miles south of Hanoi. The dispatch from Hanon described this as a pirate action. In Saigon there was another of- ficially sanctioned demonstration against France, the former colo- nial ruler of Indochina whose chief of state Charles de Gaulle, now regards neutrality as the solution to Vietnamese problems. World News Roundup By The Associated Press PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Henry R. Luce, cofounder of Time Inc., edi- torial chairman for Time, Life, Fortune and Sports Illustrated, died yesterday at the age of 68. The magazines have a combined worldwide circulation of nearly 14 million. LONDON-Prime Minister Har- old Wilson's Labor government Tuesday. night survived a major party revolt and won a 270-231 vote on its defense budget. Defeat for the government on an issue of this magnitude would have meant automatic elections. SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Gov. Ronald Reagan said yesterday he intends to be a "favorite son"' presidential candidate in 1,68, and hopes this will keep other Repub- lican contenders out of the Cali- fornia primary election. But the governor said he does not expect to be the GOP candi- date for the White House next year. * * * WASHINGTON - On the eve of House action in the Rep. Adam Clayton Powell case, separate drives by the New York Democrat's friends and critics threatened yes- terday to upset carefully con- structed censure proposals. PORT HURON, Mich. (P)-Af federal judge denied a request yes- i terday that Teamsters Union Pres-; ident James R Hof fa be allowed to stay out of prison on bond while his new trial motions are pending. Judge Clifford O'Sullivan of the, U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appealsx said he had consulted by telephone with two other members of a1 three-judge panel before announ-' cing the decision. The action blunted one of the two latest legal maneuvers in Hoffa's attempt to escape jail on his conviction for jury-tampering. The U.S. Supreme Court turned down on Monday Hoffa's requestI that it review its decision not to rehear his first appeal. New trial motion filed in Chat- tanooga yesterday claimed the Hoffa defense battery has obtain- ed "direct. evidence" that the Justice Department used wiretap- ping and eavesdropping during the 1964 trial. It was 24 pages long and was accompanied by 20 af- fidavits from persons who said they were involved in or knew about the wiretapping and eaves- dropping.
