A NEW YORK P)-The federal
government filed an anti trust"}'
suit Wednesday to shake loose
from the new World Journal Tri-
bune the syndicated columns it ac-
quired from the defunct Herald
Tribune, and make them available
to competing newspapers.
In the action, the Justice De-
partment said the World Journal
Tribune's monopoly of the col-r
umns and features posed a compe-
titive threat to the rival New York
Post.

Attempt to End Debate
WASHTNGTON UP - The Sen-
ate refused Wednesday to lialt its
civil rights debate, dealing what
may have been a death blow to'
President Johnson's measure.
But Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield of Montana said
he might try again to force action
on the proposal.
The Senate vote was 54 to 42,
or 10 votes short of the two-thirds
required to force anend the de-
bate. Voting for cloture were 42
Democrats and 12 Republicans.
Against it were 21 Democrats and
21 Republicans.

The Herald Tribune was to have
been a morning paper within the
new World Journal Tribune com-
bine. However, protracted labor
stalemates delayed publication of
the new enterprise for 140 days
and last Aug. 15 the Herald Tri-
bune was discontinued.
In its suit, the government asked
that the World Journal Tribune
be forbidden to publish syndicated
columns from the old Herald Tri-
bune, unless they are made avail-
able to competing newspapers.
The suit claimed that acquisi-
tion by the new paper of virtual-
ly all the publishing assets of the
Herald Tribune might lessen com-

of the New York Post.

Another possible straw 'in the
winds of controversy over racial
demonstrations and legislation was
the size of Democratic renomina-

Clement J. Zablocki. He scored
about 9-1 over his primary oppo-
nent, Roman R. Blenski.

Final returns from the 179 pre-
