FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1965 ~$7OO Million Viet Funds Bill TFHE MICHIGAN DAILYV PAGE THREE _. _... ..... .... _ . rv aaA~ I a i r. Meets Little Senate Resistance WASHINGTON P)-Propelled by the top leaders in both parties, President Lyndon B. Johnson'sI $700-million Viet- Nam war fund bill crashed through the Senate yesterday amid cries of blackjack tactics. 4 The Senate passed the bill by a roll call vote of 88 to 3 after a fixed five-hour period of furious debate. Senator after senator served no- tice 'that his vote for the money bill was not to be construed as blank check endorsement for poli- "cies that might bog this country down in large-scale land warfare. in Asia, Senate approval of the measure came 24 hours after the House whipped it through by a vote of 408 to 7, and a little over 48 hours after Johnson asked for its pass- ge "at the earliest possible mo- ment." The measure now goes to the White House for Johnson's signa- ture . He plans to sign it at 9:15 a.m. (EDT) today, the White House said. Voting against it in the Senate were Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska) and Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis). All sev- en House votes against the bill were cast by Democrats. The bill was passed in the Sen- ate with the votes of 57 Demo- crats and 31 Republicans. There were eight Democratic and one Republican absentees. Morse, who led the opposition, said the bill giveshJohnson far more than a $700 million appro- priation. Morse contended it gives the President authority to wage undeclared war ,and he predicted it will be followed by the sending of thousands more troops to Viet Nam. "The President is using this bill." Morse said, "as a vehicle for getting a vote of confidence for his policies in Viet Nam out of Congress." The blackjack cry was . raised by Gruening, who said he approv- ed of Johnson's policies in the Dominican Republic uprising but said the President's message ask- ing for the Viet Nam fund "sought to give the clear impression that a vote against this appropriation is a vote in aid of Communism." "This implication is totally un- warranted," Gruening said. "It attempts to blackjack the senators and representatives and to hold them up to scorn and to brand them as less than patriotic if they choose to differ and dis- obey the presidential command." Senate Republican-leader Ever- ett M. Dirksen (R-Ill) told his col- leagues, "I plan to stand up and vote for the President's request. No word of mine will ever impair the morale of our fighting men in South Viet Nam." Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield (D-Mont) said congres- sional approval of the measure would uphold the President and American servicemen in Viet Nam. f. : t. I t t; C t; a : C p s SEN. WAYNE MORSE *House Passes Space Budget WASHINGTON (IP-With hard- ly a voice raised against it, the House yesterday passed a $5.2 billion space authorization bill in- cluding almost everything the ad- ministration requested.

UN Argues Privileges Of Nations UNITED NATIONS (P) - How far can a regional group of na- tions go without encroaching on the chartered ways of the United Nations Security Council to main- tain world peace and security? That has become a key ques- tion in UN debate on the Domini- can crisis and the decision of the Organization of American States to dispatch an inter-American peace force to the Dominican Re- public. Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko points out that under the UN charter "no enforcement action" should be taken by a re- gional organization without au- thorization of the Security Coun- cil. He contends that an inter- American peace force would con- stitute such enforcement action. The United States, on the other hand, says there is no question of enforcement but simply a question of maintaining peace and security while a constitutional government is being set up. Britain, National- ist China and Bolivia have backed the U.S. position that the prob- lem should be left in the hands of the OAS, with the Security Council keeping it under review. That's , the way the matter stands. And it seems likely that each member of the council and the OAS will go on interpreting the OAS action in its own way. The Soviet Union does not have. the votes to make its challenge stick. There has been an increasing emphasis in recent years on the use of regional organizations. The council has left several Latin American problems in the hands of the OAS--over Soviet objec- tions.

LIUZZO TRIAL: Wilkins Fate Given To Alabama Jury HAYNEVILLE, Ala. ( .)-Ku Klux Klansman Collie Leroy Wilkins Jr.'s first-degree murder. trial ended yesterday and went to a Lowndes County Circuit Court jury with a ringing denunciation of the civil rights aims of the slaying victim, Mrs. Viola Liuzzo.

She had a right to be here without being shot down in the middle of the night. "This was a cold-blooded middle-of-the-night killing." Wilkins did not take the witness stand.

Marines Land In Viet Nam SAIGON (A)-Three more Unit- ed States Marine battalions began pouring ashore on a South Viet- namese beach 340 miles northeast of here today to secure an area on which a new combat airbase is to be built. The marines came ashore in landing craft. at a remote beach in Quang Tin province, 60 miles south of Da Nang. Vietnamese authorities had sixG battalions of their ownstroops in their area and a contingent of banner waving school girls at the beach to welcome the marines. "The marine battalions will pro- vide security for the construction of a new airfield which, when completed, will make a contribu- tion to the effectiveness of the Vietnamese and other friendly air forces," an official communique said.

Defense Attorney Matt H. Murphy Jr., in a shouting, arm- waving, body-bending summation that left him dripping perspira- tion, told the jury: There has been p r e s s u r e brought to bear against right- wing groups in this country .-. you heard what the President of the United States said . . . that these men were Klansmen, that they struck at night and killed this woman. "I'm proud to be a white man and I stand for white supremacy, not for black supremacy. When white people join up with them (Negroes), they become white nig- gers . . "God didn't intend us to mix with the black race. I don't care what Lyndon Baines Johnson says. What in God's name are they trying to overcome? God's law it- self?" Circuit Judge T. Werth Tha- gard, in his charge to the jury, included four possible verdicts - acquittal; first-degree manslaugh- ter, punishable by one to 10 years in prison; second-degree murder, punishable by a minimum 10 years or such additional time as the judge cared to set; and first- degree murder, with malice afore- thought, with life imprisonment or death - the penalty left to the jury. Labor Obtains Steel Vote Win LONDON (M)-The Labor gov- ernment's plan to nationalize the bulk of the British steel industry squeezed through the House of Commons last night with a mar- gin of four votes. The endorsement to nationalize Britain's big steel companies left doubts, however. The victory may lead to a surrender by the Labor government to rebels within its own ranks. Labor memberes cheered at the result-310-306 in favor of Labor's White Paper outlining nationali- zation plans. The vote was a test of parlia- mentary opinion before bringing in the steel bill itself-and it hinted that the government may have to advocate less than total nationalization if it wants to ob- tain some kind of control over the steel industry. . The key lies in the -votes cast for the government by two right- wingers, Woodrow Wyatt and Des- mond Donnelly. "We made up our minds in between cigarette ends, you might say," Donnelly told re- porters later. I RENT A The. yen is local currency i~n Japan. So is this.
