JAKARTA (AM - Nikita S.
Khrushchev seemed assured the
biggest welcome of his South Asian
tour on his arrival in Indonesia
late yesterday. *Though the atmos-
phere is tinged with'° neutralist
caution, the government ordered a
big turnout.
Indonesian officials forecast a
million people would line the route
from the airport to President Su-
ksarno's palace.
Loudspeaker cars broadcast a
call for workers to be given time
off to cheer. School classes 'were
canceled. Free bus and train serv-
ice was arranged to haul in thous-
ands of persons from the country-
side.
The hammer and sickle, friend-
ship signs and huge portraits of
Khrushchev replaced street deco-
rations that had honored two de-
parted guests, the king and queen
of pro-Western Thailand.
The Soviet Premier brought his
coexistence campaign to this stra-
tegically situated, semi-socialist
island nation after a week in
FIndia and Burma in which he
showed little of his usual bounce.
Behind all the official enthusi-
asm here are signs that Indone-
sian leaders want to prevent
Ihrushchev's tour from being used
"nby the Communists for cold war
propaganda.
oreign Minister subandrio told
newsmen he hopes the visit will
not involve "an ideological con-
frontation" because, the two na-
tions have their own different sys-
tems.
Indonesia has grown a bit wary
of international Communism and
increasingly better disposed toward
the United States. -
Like India, it is involved in a
dispute with Red China. Peiping
Bbjects to the government's policy
of uprooting Chinese traders from
rural areas,,where they have been
economically powerful for decades,

It is unlikely Khrushchev will be
asked to mediate. Sukarno con-
ders the resettlement campaign
an intermin matter.
The two are expected to concen-
trate chiefly on economic matters
during Khrushchev's 12-day visit.
The Russians mayn offer further
aid for Indonesia, chronically
hard-pressed.

NOVEMBER:

To .Decide
Sales Tax
LANSING W-'-The Senate today
approved submitting a sales tax
increase proposal to voters in No-
vember.
The resolution easily cleared the
stiff two-thirds favorable vote re-
quirement when seven Democrats
joined with 22 Republicans on a
29 to 5 roll call.
Whether the necessary two-
thirds majority would be forth-
coming in the House remained in
doubt. In the House, the GOP
must have the help of at least 22
Democrats.
A year ago, Democrats in the
House blocked submission of an
almost identical proposition for
lifting the constitutional ceiling
on the sales tax to four per cent.
The existing limit is three per
cent.
Position Undeclared
Gov. Williams told newsmen
that the administration has taken
no position.
"We're not going to just de-
liberately kill it," he said. The
Governor indicated Democrats
might want to condition support
on Republican help for some other
ballot proposition, possibly a cor-
poration profits tax proposal.
An amendment to the Senate
resolution that would have opened
the way for exemption of food and
drugs from the sales tax narrowly
was defeated before the roll call
on adoption.
At first, the amendment, by Sen.
Edward Hutchinson (R-Fennville).
appeared to have carried on an
18 to 15 division (show of hands).
Demands Call
Sen. Carlton H. Morris (R-Kala-
mazoo), GOP tax strategist in the
arduous 1959 legislative struggle,
demanded a record roll call on
the amendment.
It resulted in a 17 to 17 tie
vote, and this failed to carry.
The Hutchinson amendment did
not expressly propose any exclu-
sions from the existing sales tax
vote. It merely would have left ex-
pansion or contraction of the base
within the legislature's discretion,
rather than frozen as it is in the
constitution.
In routine fashion, the senators
rejected a Democratic proposal for
embedding an exclusion of food
and drugs directly in the consti-
tution.
Khrushchev
Touts Soviet
,Moon Rocket
RANGOON (R) - Nikita S.
Khrushchev drew the biggest ap-
plause of his Burma visit with
some words on Soviet successes in
space. The touring Soviet premier
flew on yesterday to Indonesia
after visiting India and Burma.
The Russian premier Tuesday
gave President U Win Maung and
Premier Ne Win copies of the
pennant device carried to the
moon by a Soviet rocket.
He told Burma's leaders they
will have to be content with copies
"because," he said, "our original
is one the moon."
More than 1,000 guests at a So-
viet Embassy reception and din-
ner laughed and applauded.
Khrushchev, although obviously
tired, grinned broadly.
Food flown in from Moscow was
set up on outdoor tables in sub-
tropic weather.
Khrushchev obliquely chided
Burma during the day for ac-
cepting cash gifts from the United
States. and touted the Russian
technological Institute the way
out of advancement for this coun-
try.
Talking with Burmese newsmen,
Khrushchev said the institute
"will provide your nation trained
personnel."
WASHINGTON M) - Congress
moved two steps closer yesterday
toward passage of new civil rights
legislation, but the end appeared
to lie weeks away.
The House Rules Committee,
which has been taking its time
since last August, agreed infor-
mally to clear a bill for House
consideration.
The Senate Rules Committee
received a bill from its chairman,
Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr., (D-
Mo.), designed to help Southern
Negroes vote with the aid of fed-
eral officials.
Action Delayed
Hennings, however, sent word
he was ill and asked that action
on his measure be delayed.
House consideration may come
next month, with March 10 a like-
ly starting day for debate.
The House committee acted un-
der pressure, since about 209
members of the House were re-
ported to have signed a petition
that would take the legislation
away from the committee for di-
rect action. Only ten more signa-
tures would be needed.
Provisions Listed
The bill the House will get
would make it a federal crime to
oppose court orders for racial in-
tegration of schools by force or
threats or force. It would also re-
quire preservation of local vot-
ing records, give the FBI a freer
hand in checking on bombings,
and provide schooling for chil-
dren of servicemen stationed in
areas where public schools were
closed to avoid mingling of Ne-
gro and white pupils.
Amendments to broaden and
tighten the bill probably will be
permitted under the parliamen-
tary situation in which it will
reach the House.
The Hennings bill in the Senate
would provide for federal officers
appointed by the President to
oversee registration, voting and
vote counting in federal, state an
local elections.
Citizens listed as eligible by the
federal officials, but challenged'
locally, could go ahead and vote,
subject to having their vote
thrown out later if a federal court
upheld the challenges.
The Hennings plan is much like
the court-appointed referee plan
suggested by Atty. Gen. William
P. Rogers, but a Hennings aide
said it would permit if aster action.
Senate Debate
The Senate meanwhile settled
down to debate on civil rights
generally, especially arguments
by southern Senators advising
against federal interference with
states' rights.
Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.)
carried the ball first, with Sen.
John Stennis (D-Miss.) on hand
to follow him.
Ellender told the Senate the
current drive for civil rights leg-
islation has created the most
abominable situation of his 23
years in the Senate.
Program Introduced
A voice vote made the Senate's
pending business the administra-
tion's program as introduced by
Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill.)
This calls for voting referees ap-

WASHINGTON (I) - Striking
back sharply at critics of his
foreign aid proposals President
Dwight D. Eisenhower said yester-
day "it's the whipping boy for'
everybody who wants to have an-
other dam built or something else
done in his area."
Critics of the $4,175,000,000 out-
lay Eisenhower proposed to Con-
gress Tuesday are predicting that
in this election year at least a
billion dollars will be carved out1
of it. That would put the total at
about last year's level.
Johnson Comments
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn-
don B. Johnson of Texas com-
mented yesterday that "it is ob-
vious that the Congress, which has
been told the nation must live un-
der a tight budget, is not going to
take the lid off foreign aid until it
has made a thorough examination
of the facts."
"In my judgment it will approve
the amount that can be justified,"
Johnson added without predicting
what that might be.

As Eisenhower spoke at his news
conference of the need to sell
America on foreign aid, Secretary
of State Christian A. Herter was
defending the program at the start
of hearings on it by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
Need Margin
Herter said the United States
cannot withhold "that marginal
element of technical and economic
assistance" growing nations need,
nor fail to help some of the harder
pressed allies." The price of hold-
ing back in these responsibilities,
he said, would be to see "the rest
of the non-Communist world«.
swallowed up bit by bit."
Such action, Herter said, would
be "the height of folly."
Eisenhower told reporters "there
is no program that the United
States is pursuing now that is so
much in our own interests as this
one of mutual security."
Then he made the point that
some members of Congress seek-
ing to impress voters back home
with efforts to get approval of
local projects make foreign aid a
"whipping boy." He mentioned no
one specifically.
Foreign aid, Eisenhower said,
has "the political appeal of just
an ordinary clod out in the field--
none."
Then the President went on to
say that "if the United States as
a whole can be waked up to our
best interests" foreign aid will be
supported generously.
