MOSCOW (IP)-Nikita Khrush-

in the Kremlin purge, took off
gaily yesterday for a goodwill visit
to Red-ruled Czechoslovakia.
Khrushchev, the rotund Com-
munist party boss, and bearded
Premier Bulganin, salesmen of So-

Prague in an atmosphere of con-

SENATE:
New Fight Seen
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON (P)-A Senate battle of historic proportions began
at 2:17 p.m. yesterday when Republican Leader William Knowland, of
California, moved to call up the administration's civil rights bill.
The bill was immediately attacked by Sen. Sam Ervin (D-NC) as
the "most drastic and indefensible" legislation ever submitted to
Congress.
Southern senators are determined to try to kill it-as they have
all other civil rights legislation in recent years.
Filibuster?
A filibuster may develop from this effort. In that event, Congress
might have to stay in session until mid-September.
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, the Democratic leader, said
he had been informed by Sen. Knowland and other supporters of the

from the Communist parties o

In Prague, the official party
newspaper Rude Pravo hailed the
group's liquidation.
"The Soviet comrades come t
a country which will never leave
the bartricades of communism
where the Red Flag is raised b
the Soviet Union," Rude Prav
said.
Paper Speaks
"Our meetings with the Sovie
leaders will result in absolute
agreements which will demon-
strate a strengthening of th
partnership of the Socialist state
on all fundamentalquestions." -
This was echoed by a Czech of-
ficial in Prague.
"It means big things," he said.
Another official scoffed at the
forecast of big developments. "I
Is simply the return of a visit our
leaders made to Moscow," he said,
"It is that and nothing more."
Khrushchev
'Out and In'
DuringVote
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, ()-
Russia's ruling Presidium actual-
ly voted to oust Nikita Khrush-
chev at the outset of the Kremlin's
palace revolt in June, reports
from Moscow said yesterday.
The reports said Khrushchev
denounced the ouster as illegal
and defeated it with the powerful
support of Defense Minister Geor-
gi Zhukov and Deputy Premier A.
I. Mikoyan.
Khrushchev is supposed to have
told the majority that voted to re-
move him as first secretary that
he was elected by the party Cen-
tralCommittee and was responsi-
ble only to the committee.
This is reported to have precipi-
tated a week-long session of the
Central Committee; Khrushchev
won the battle of votes, and his
leading foes - Deputy Premier
V. M. Molotov, Georgi Malenkov
and Kazar Kaganovich - were
ousted.
There is no official confirma-
tion 'of this version of what took
place in the two crucial weeks
that f ol o w e d the return of
Khrushchev and Premier Nikolai
Bulganin from a state visit to
Finland June 12.
Whether poor timing or the in-
tervention of the powerful Zhu-
kov, who spoke for the armed
forces, upset the plotters' program
was not apparent here.
F Political experts in Prague saw
one flaw in this version. They
could not understand how such a
veteran as Molotov would even
dream of moving against his arch-
enemy unless he was certain of
success.

bill that no other business will be
allowed before the Senate until the
civil rights issue is settled.
The only exceptions, Sen. John-
son said he was advised, would be
measures of "extreme urgency" or
bills that could be handled by
unanimous consent.
Russell Asserts
Sen. Richard Russell (D-Ga),
the leader of the Southern opposi-
tion, jumped quickly into the fray
with an assertion that backers of
the civil rights bill have tried to
"make the South the whipping boy
of the nation.'
"They are tryiing to make us a
bear, beingpoked at all of the time
to make it dance!" he cried.
"We will resist-we will resist."
Sen. Russell has asked for a con-
ference with President Dwight D.
Eisenhower on the civil rights bill
and will get an appointment, the
White House announced.
Knowland Speaks
Sen. Knowland told the Senate
he hoped for a vote on his motion
before the end of the week.
He had said previously he would
force the Senate into round-the-
clock sessions if it became appar-
ent that Southerners were trying
to talk the bill to death.
Both Sen. Knowland's motion to
bring the House-passed bill before
the Senate and discussion of the
bill itself are subject to unlimited
debate. The vote of two-thirds of
the Senate membership-64 of the.
96 senators-would be necessary
to impose a limit on the debate.
Vice President Richard Nixon,
presiding officer of the Senate,
told reporters in Rochester, N. Y.,
"I believe there is a good chance
the Senate will pass a civil rights
bill at this session."
Passed By House
The bill that Sen. Knowland
seeks to bring to the Senate floor
was passed by the House June 18
by a vote of 286 to 126.
It would empower the attorney
general to take into federal courts
cases of persons whose civil rights
were deemed violated or threat-
ened, and to protect their interests
by seeking federal court injunc-
tions.
Those disobeying injunctions
could be tried by a judge for
contempt, without a jury.
It would also establish a special
division in the Justice Department
to handle civil rights cases and
would set up a bipartisan commis-
sion to make a two-year study of
civil rights problems.
Sen. Ervin contended the bill
would not only skirt what he called
the constitutional requirement for
jury trial in criminal cases but
would make violators subject to
contempt action in civil cases and
liable for criminal prosecution on
the same charge.
Sen. Ervine's speech was the
first formal one to be -made in
opposition to Knowland's motion.
Tennessee
Segregation
Trial Starts
Defense Records
Hard-Fought Win
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (A) - The
defense won a hard-fought victory
yesterday in gaining the dismissal
"for cause" of the first Negro
appearing as a prospective juror
in the Clinton segregation trial.
United States District Judge
Robert L. Taylor dismissed the
talesman, Albert Cloud, 28, errand
boy at a Tazewell, Tenn., bank,
after Cloud acknowledged he
"couldn't feel kindly" toward the
lone Northern defendant, Fred-
erick John Kasper of Washington,
D.C.
Taylor refused to disqualify
Cloud because of his status as a
non-property owner, ruling that it
was not necessary to be "a free-
holder" to become a juror in a
federal court.
On trial in what has been
heralded as a major test in the
bitter controversy over segregation
are 15 residents of the little (pop.
4,500) Cumberland Valley town of
Clinton, 20 miles northwest of
here, and Kasper, 27.
The defendants are accused of
violating a federal court injunc-
tion, issued by Judge Robert L.
Taylor last September, forbidding
any interference with the peaceful
integration of 12 Negro students
in Clinton's previously ill-white
high school.
Both sides staked out the major
issues in the case with questions
emphasizing constitutional guar-
antees of the right of free speech
and assembly, the power of federal
courts to enforce antiviolence in-
junctions, and the - debate over
mixing whites and Negroes in
schoo i.
Conviction could lead to a maxi-
mum sentence of six months in
jail or a $1,000 fine, or both.
But the overriding point of in-
terest is whether the federal gov-
ernme.t, through the courts, can
get a Southern jury to convict
white defendants accused of vio-
lating a federal injunction.

NEW YORK ()-An American
couple abroad were named in a
federal grand jury indictment
yesterday as members of an inter-
national spy ring that fed United
States defense secrets to Russia.
They are living in a Left Bank
Paris apartment house.
George Zlatovski, 47, and his
wife, Jane Foster Zlatovski, 45,
were linked by the government to
a ring headed by Jack Soble, who
currently is awaiting sentence as
a confessed ringleader in the spy
plot.
He said French authorities have
been notified of the case, and ef-
forts will be made to extradite the
couple to this country.
The new indictment alleged for
the first time that the late Lav-
renty P. Beria had a direct hand
in sending Soble to this country in
1940 to "execute assignments in
the Soviet Intelligence service."

LONDON (R) - Russia threw
cold water on United States pro-
posals for a 10-month suspension
of hydrogen bomb tests yesterday.
It was an apparent stiffening
of the Soviet attitude on disarma-
ment.
Soviet delegate Valerian Zorin,
told the five-nation United Nay
tions Disarmament subcommittee
a 10-month suspension would be
too short to be of significant
value.
Renewed Demands
He renewed Soviet demands
that the tests be suspended Im-
mediately for two or three years.
Zorin insisted that East and West
get together to work out some
formula by which the use of nu-
clear weapons should be finally
renounced.
Western delegates appeared
shaken by the speech.
They asked that no session be
held today while the statement is
carefully examined.
Lloyd Speaks
British Foreign Minister Selwyn
Lloyd, who presided over yester
d'ay's s u b c o m m i t t e e meeting,
termed the speech "disappoint-
ing."
French representative Jules
Moch said it "seemed propagand-
ist."
High United States officials de-
ment, which followed a declara-
clined to characterize the state-
tion by Moscow radio that anyone
who expected "concessions" as a
result of last week's Kremlin
shakeup would be "disappointed."
Zorin Declares
Mixed with Zorin's criticism of
Western proposals was a declara-
tion that the Soviet government
was convinced of the possibility
of a partial disarmament treaty.
Russia believes the subcommit-
tee should be able to work out an
agreement on such steps as are
now feasible, Zorin declared.
He flatly rejected, however, a
Western proposal made last week
that scientists be put to work
mapping out details of how a sus-
pension of nuclear tests might be
enforced.

"A world of change faces to-

adolescent the teacher faces,"
Helen K. Mackintosh emphasized
in an address to an overflow audi-
ence in Auditorium C yesterday.
Miss Mackintosh, president of
the National Council of the Tea-
chers of English, spoke to an in-
tent assembly of elementary and
secondary school teachers on her
subject "So They Don't Like
Poetry?"
"It is important for teachers to
recognize the sources of this
change," she said.
'On The Move'
Interpretation has become a
duty of the teacher, she said.
"Poetry should merit the same
values as drama, music and the
dance," she remarked.
"There is enough poetry to em-
phasize all child experiences,"
Miss Mackintosh advised.
The youngest children should
be given poems about the world
of fantasy - the popular rhymes
about fairies and elves, she sug-
gested.
Best Type Poetry
She felt this was the best type
of poetry for later response to all
literature.
In the fifth and sixth grades,
poems about legendary heroes are
appropriate. A group organized
around a period of history is gen-
erally successful, she related.
