Indonesians Greet Khrushchev; } ""USE RULES COMMITTEE: ICivil Rights. .. .. Bill Cleare Government Attitude Cautions vti.. To Discuss Economics, Russian Aid r Leaders To Avoid 'Ideological' Disputes 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.

LARGE CUT PREDICTED: Eisenhower Defends Foreign Aid Proposals NOVEMBER: Electorate 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- 9) ~IY IED?

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. ront Page Page 3 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.
