Moreover, Sen, Lyndon B. John- son of Texas, the Senate Demo- cratic leader, called for an end to around-the-clock Senate ses- sions. The day and night meetings have turned out to be more of a strain on advocates of civil rights legislation than on the 18 South- erners organized to filibuster against it. The Senate agreed that when it recessed last night - whatever the hour - it would be until 10:30 a.m. today. Engineers Petition Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) was the main engineer of the petition to shut off debate by cloture, which requires a two-thirds mar- gin of those voting to become ef- fective. He led a bipartisan body of 23 Democrats and 8 Republicans into signing a cloture petition. Sixteen would have been enough to permit it to be filed. Johnson said he had not been asked to sign the petition, and would not have signed if he had been asked. "I do not expect to vote for clo- ture at this time," he said, and in- vited Republicans as well as Dem- ocrats to support him on the issue. He also said he hoped it would be possible to fix in advance an exact time for the vote. Dirksen Against Plan Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen, of Illinois, also said he was against cloture at this time. He said he would vote for it after CINEMA GUILD PRESENTS . .. a rare double bill tomor- row and Friday. Kontiki, as readers of Thor Heyerdahl's best-seller know, is the account of a 4,300 mile trip by raft across the Pacific to substanti- ate the author's theory that the South Sea Islands were actual- ly peopled by emigrants from Peru, rather than the common- ly accepted theory of Asiatic migration. Whatever the merits of his argument, and he dra-. matically demonstrated its pos- sibility, Heyerdahl is a modern hero of epic proportions. The experiences of himself and his five companions on the balsa raft is captured by the camera with unstudied fidelity. Heyer- dahl narrates his commentary with modesty, straightforward. ness and an engaging sense of humor. The second feature, The Ti- tan, tells the story of Michel- angelo without the use of a single actor. Filmed in Florence and Rome between 1938 and 1940 by the Swiss producer Curt Oertel, the film was or- iginally much longer and rath- er diffuse. After World War II Robert Flaherty saw it and was so struck by the beauty of the photography that he sponsored the film, after editing it and supplying an English narra- tion, spoken by Frederick March. The film is a moving tribute to the art of the Florentine master and an impressive tour de force in cinema art as well. s * * Saturday and Sunday, March 12 and 13, On the Waterfront. Based on actual newspaper ac- counts of waterfront corrup- tion, Budd Schulberg's power- ful story is transformed into a moving social document under the terse direction of Elia Ka- zan. Filmed on location at the Hoboken waterfront in 1954, this picture won 7 Academy Awards. It is a brilliantly-acted mov- ie. Brando's sensitive perform- ance as the ex-pugilist errand boy for a crooked union leader is matched by the ruthless ren- dering of Lee J. Cobb's dock boss. Karl Malden as the priest who must decide whether to minister to the minds as well as the souls of his flock is un- forgettable in his vividly etched role. Eva Marie Saint, in her film debut. helps makes con- further efforts to reach agreement on what he called a moderate, reasonable bill. Johnson said he was interested in working out a civil rights bill "that will meet the views of 67 members," the number needed to invoke cloture. Douglas, whose main lieutenant in the petition maneuver was Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.), has been demanding strong new laws to give the federal government new authority to help Southern Ne- groes who report their rights are violated. Johnson told the Senate he hoped members who want civil rights legislation would not sup- port the cloture move, because, he said, he believed its effect would be to perpetuate the issue instead of solving it. He said there many far reach- ing amendments are pending and "I hope Senators on both sides will support me in letting the votes determine the issue." West Reports Advancement On Disarming PARIS (A)) - Western experts were reported to have made some progress yesterday toward a co- ordinated disarmament plan for presentation to the Soviet bloc next week. "We expect some important de- cisions tomorrow," said a source who sat in on the five-power Western talks. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Italy are making a -final effort here to es- tablish a unified position for the 10-naion, East-West disarmament parley opening in Geneva next Monday. There has been a gap in thinking between the French and the others. The experts ordered their aides to put Western draft proposals on paper for the start of another session at 11 a.m. today. The schedule calls for presenta- tion of the plan to the permanent council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to- morrow. Details were kept secret. But there was an indication from con- ference sources that some middle ground had been found between the French position and that sup- ported by the United States and the other delegations. Indian Says NEW DELHI (P) - Communist China plans to join the nuclear club this month by exploding a small atomic bomb with Soviet help, a member of Parliament said yesterday. Raghuvira, who claims to have 'wide contacts In China, said the date for the test is March 28. He told Parliament the explo- sion would be set off near Urum- chi, the capital of Communist China's far western province of Sinkiang. Western scientists have reported that atomic research is under way in that area, and an atomic explosion would come as no great surprise to them. Progress Believed Raghuvira said he believed Red China is making more rapid pro- gress in nuclear work than France. He added that he was sure China "already has some kinds of atomic weapons." "The Chinese are just learn- ers," Raghuvira told a newsman after his statement in Parliament. "Russia is giving them a small atomic bomb of Hiroshima size." Raghuvira added that the Chi- nese bomb would actually be about 70 to 80 per cent Russian. No Confirmation He said his information came to him "through a whole chain of people" and not from official sources. There was no confirma- tion elsewhere. He is head of the International Academy of Indian Culture. His academy conducts literary re- search on Tibet, Mongolia, China and other countries. An atomic bomb for Communist China would bring new complica- tions to East-West disarmament negotiations. United States offi- cials concede that any agreement with the Russians to ban nuclear tests under international control would have to involve Peiping in some way. Ever since France exploded its atomic device in the Sahara last month to join the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union as an atomic power, speculation has increased that Moscow would at- tempt to redress the East-West balance by giving Peiping an atomic bomb. Involves Peiping Some Western officials, how- ever, say the Russians do not want to increase the power of their Chinese allies further. Peiping already has a strong and often independent voice with- in the Communist bloc. At present it is said to be cool to Soviet Pre- mier Nikita Khrushchev's pro- fessed policy of seeking better relations with the West. Some United States scientists had suggested Communist China might celebrate the 10th anni- versary of its revolution by setting off an atomic bomb last Oct. 1. This never came off, but several days before that a United tates scientist who played a leading role in creating America's first atomic bombs told a newsman: "It wouldn't surprise me if China now could make a small number of crude bombs." Relations Gives Report To Country In Broadcast Ike Notes Friendship, But Sees Problems WASHINGTON (P) -President Dwight D. Eisenhower last night pronounced United States rela- tions with the nations of Latin America at an all-time high. Yet he called for "an even firm- er partnership." In a report to the nation carried by radio and television, Eisen- hower said there are notable, but very few, exceptions to the friend- ly feelings between this country and its neighbors to the south. He made no direct reference to the deteriorating Cuban-United States ties. The chief executive was report- ing on the goodwill journey to Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uru- guay from which he returned only MondAy. He said the 15,500-mile tour was "a most instructive and rewarding experience." Finds Respect Eisenhower said that on his trip he had found "a vast reser- voir of respect, admiration and affection for the United States of America." But if the nations of Latin America were expecting any con- crete plans for assistance or speci- fic offers of United States help now that Eisenhower has seen their immense problems first hand, the speech was a disap- pointment. Eisenhower renewed offers he made many times on his tour to hold out the hand of this country in cooperation. But he spelled out no wealth of details. Eisenhower was warmly re- ceived by tremendous crowds in all the four countries he visited- Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uru- guay. And he said tonight his first words must be a heartfelt expres- sion of gratitude for the friendly receptions wherever he went. Demonstrations 'Minor' "Millions endured hot summer sun-and occasionally rain-to let us know of the enthusiastic good- will they have for the government and people of the United States," the President said. "In the nations of Latin Ameri- ca I visited-indeed, in all of the 18 countries I have visited on my trips of recent months-there is a vast reservoir of respect, admira- tion and affection for the United States of America. "The expressions of this attitude by peoples and their leaders were so enthusiastic and so often re- peated as to admit no possibility of mistake." Referring to demonstrations in which police used tear gas and fire hoses in Montevideo, Eisen- hower said the exceptions made headlines. But he dismissed them as minor incidents, lost in the massed welcome. Problems Still Exist Still, the chief executive came back repeating what he said be- fore he left on his four-nation swing-that problems and serious misunderstandings still exist in the relations of the United States and its neighbors to the South. He repeated an assurance that this country stands firmly by its commitment under the Rio Treaty of 1947 to regard an attack on one American republic as an attack on all. Many persons, Eisenhower said, fail to realize that the United States is committed just as firmly as the other American republics to the principles of the 1947 pact. 4 OTHER INCIDENTS OCCUR: Students Arrested in Negro Protest Hit New DISPERSE!-Sheriff's deputies on horseback disperse a crowd during the outbreak at the demonstration Sunday in Montgomery, Ala. By The Asso iated Press Police broke up a Negro protest demonstration at Alabama State College in Montgomery yesterday and hauled 30 students and a fac- ulty member off to jail. Two other Negroes were taken into custody at the jail while try- ing to get in to see the students under arrest. It was the second time in three days that officers stopped Negroes from demonstrating publicly against the recent expulsion of nine students who took part in earlier anti-segregation activities. But it was the first time any were arrested. NSA Supports (The National Student Associa- tion has expressed its disapproval of lunch-counter discrimination and its support of student demon- strations against such discrimina- tion.) A scheduled Negro mass meet- ing at the state capitol Sunday almost touched off a racial clash, but an estimated 500 city, county and state officers broke it up and drove off a jeering crowd of some 5,000 white persons. The students were arrested as they massed on the college campus where about 1,000 men and women had voted to boycott the school Monday. Students at Tuskegee Institute, 40 miles away, stayed from class in undetermined numbers in a sympathy protest. Some carried placards around the campus pro- claiming their demand for equal rights. Other Incidents In addition, the first Negro anti- segregation demonstrations were reported in the South's two largest cities, Atlanta and New Orleans, yesterday as a Houston, Tex., Ne- gro told police that while youths cut KKK signs on his skin. These and other incidents sent tensions mounting higher in the South. Negro sitdowns protesting segregated lunch counter arrange- ments already have occurred in eight Southern states. In New York three stores were picketed in support of the Southern Negro demonstrations. Scratch Initials Felton Turner, a 27-year-old unemployed Houston Negro, told police the white youths scratched two sets of KKK initials-symbol of the Ku Klux Klan-on his chest and abdomen after hanging him by the heels and beating him with chains. Turner told police one youth said they were hired to do the job because of notice Texas South- ern University Negro students have received over sitdowns at four lunch counters in Houston. Turner was treated at a hospital and released. Governor Protests Bennett Tuck, the store's gen- eral superintendent, said the group turned quietly away Monday was accompanied by a white Atlanta University student identified as David Vineyard of Springfield, Ill. The university is predominantly Negro. Georgia's Gov. Ernest Vandiver promptly issued a statement in which he said he has "repeatedly expressed warning about the ac- tivities of outside agitators in our state." At New Orleans more than 200 students at the predominantly Negro Dillard University paraded in front of the college in the first demonstration of its kind in the city. Another 200 students watched along with motorcycle policemen and plain clothesmen in unmarked police cars. No violence was re- ported. 3SlA 08 1a NOSYi v3d Prof. CHARLES L.
