Compromise Civil Rights Bill
Fails To Gain Majority Support

WASHINGTON UP-) - A last-
ditch effort by President John F.
Kennedy's administration to line
up a majority of the House Judi-
ciary Committee behind a compro-
mise civil rights bill apparently
failed yesterday.
Kennedy conferred last night
4 with key House leaders of both
parties in a personal effort to sal-
vage a civil rights bill in the House.
One possible result, sources said,
is likely to be a second postpone-,
ment- of a showdown vote in the
judiciary committee.
Supporters of a more sweeping
bill said they have solid assurances
they have enough votes to send
Prison Opened
To Discourage
Race Agitators
BURAS, La. (P) - Leander H.
Perez, political boss of Plaquemin-
es Parish (county), has renovated
an old 18th century fortress to be
t used exclusively for racial demon-
strators.
The prison is nestled in the
snake and mosquito-infested tidal
swamps deep in South Louisiana.
The parish leased the site for
five years.
Actually, there have not been
any demonstrators in Plaquemines
Parish yet.
Perez considers his prison a
form of insurance against demon-
strators in the parish, which has 'a
population of '24,000, with 6300 of
them Negroes.


their version to the House floor
today despite administration ob-
jections that it has no chance of
enactment.
But if the committee doesn't
meet, the bill can't be voted on.
The vote was originally schedul-
ed for yesterday morning but
Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-NY)
ordered a 24-hour postponement to
see if support could be rallied for
the compromise bill backed by the
administration.
However, one of the leaders of
the compromise move is known to
have told committee colleagues
this effort fell short of its goal.
The administration is expected
to persist in efforts to narrow the
bill down. The probable strategy
will be to work out a milder ver-
sion and have it presented either
as a substitute package, or in the
form of amendments, once the bill
reaches the floor.
Celler, although he originally
helped draft the 10-part bill being
pushed by a coalition of Republi-
cans and liberal Democrats, sought
to help the administration achieve
a compromise. He said two advo-
cates of the stronger bill did not
appreciate the strength of the pro-
posals recommended by the ad-
ministration.
There were indications, how-
ever, that even Celler would now
go along with the majority and
vote to send the subcommittee bill
to the House floor.
It was Rep. Arch A. Moore, Jr..
(R-W. Va) who moved to vote on
the subcommittee bill, and he said
11 of the 14 Republicans on the
committee would vote for it.

In Washington, the State De-
partment announced that United
States Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge, assigned here in the midst
of the crisis in August, was being
called home for consultations withI
President John F. Kennedy. A.
spokesman said Lodge would go to
Washington late this month or
early in November.
The chairman of the seven-man
UN group, Abdul Rahman Pazh-
wak of Afghanistan, said the com-
mittee came to "obtain the facts
of the situation as regards the al-
leged violation of human rights by
the government of South Viet
Nam." He said the group would
receive petitions from all organi-
zations wishing to present them.
Claim Discrimination
The Buddhist opposition claims
the Diem government, whose lead-
ers are Roman Catholics, discrim-
inated against Buddhists.
President Ngo Dinh Diem's re-
gime invited the UN mission here,
but has announced no plans for
its members to talk with leading
Buddhist; opponents. Most Bud-
dhist leaders who have openly op-
posed Diem are in jail.
Besides Afghanistan, countries
represented on the UN team are
Brazil, Ceylon, Costa Rica, Daho-
mey, Morocco and Nepal.
Disapprove of Talks
The regime has made it plain
it would disapprove of any talks
between the UN mission and the
top Buddhist leader, Thich Tri
Quang, now in asylum in the Unit-
ed States embassy.
Despite government denials, ru-
mors continued to circulate that
government agents are planning
violent raids against the United
States embassy or its missions.

PUBLISH REASONS:
U.S. Announces Policy
On New Experiments
President John F. Kennedy announced Tuesday that the United
States will be committed "to make every effort" to publish the reasons
for large scale scientific experiments before they are authorized.
The purpose of this "open examination" would be to allow the
world community an opportunity to view proposed experiments that
might adversely affect man's environment. Kennedy did say that
there will be exceptions when this
policy will have to be violated such
as a matter of national security. Pate Asks
