Clements Supported For Democrat Post WASHINGTON ( — Strong sup- support for Sen. Earle C, Clements of Kentucky as the next chairman of the Democratic National Com- mittee was reported yesterday to be building up among Senate Dem- ecrats. to add new millions of persons to the social security program, in- crease the benefit paymients and boost the annual contribution by employes and employers. Passage seemed assured. The Senate has scheduled debate starting Thursday on a House-ap- proved housing bill. While passage in some form is virtually certain. New opposition from some south- ern Democrats cast considerable doubt on the fate of the President's request for authority for a four- year public housing program. The Senate Finance Committee hopes to complete by Friday its version of the administration tax revision bill, already passed by the House. GOP leaders have voiced confidence that the committee will approve it about in the form the administration asked. But Demo- cratic senators plugging for a new income tax cut have said they will carry their fight to the Senate floor if they lost in the committee’s closed-door sessions. The tax revision, a bulky 875- page bill, would make no changes in major levies but would cut tax- es about $1,400,000,000 in its first year of operation through various benefits for individuals and busi- nesses. Sen. George (D-Ga) and two col- leagues are sponsoring 4 move to cut individual income taxes about 4% billion dollars this. year by boosting from $600 to $800 the per- payer and dependent. A Démocrat- ic drive for a boost to $700 lost nar- rowly in the House. The administration is fighting Douglas Calls For — Viet Nam Gov't WASHINGTON (# — Justice Wil- liam O. Douglas of the Supreme Court says military intervention alone will not save Indochina from the Communists, and that Western action behind a French colonial government would. be ‘‘disas- trous”’. Interviewed on a CBS television program yesterday, Douglas said the only hope of saving Indochina is an independent government for Viet Nam, preferably “‘this after- noon or tomorrow,” and he added: “Maybe that’s too late. It’s a thing that should have been done years ago. But it’s the only pos- sible thing . . .” The justice, who has traveled widely in Asia and written books on it, said Ho Chi Minh, Commu- nist leader of rebel forces, is “probably the most popular man in Indochina today . . . not be- cause he’s a Communist but be- cause he’s fight for freedom and independence.” Partial Service Restored After Train Derailment EAST. CHATHAM, N. Y. @— Wrecking ‘crews have restored to the tracks one of four Boston and Albany Railroad passenger cars which left the rails last night, bringing minor injuries to 12 per \s. sonal exemption allowed each tax | 544, The spokesman said that cause of the derailment could not be:giv- en until an investigation .is .eom- the move onthe ground the gov- ernment can not stand that loss of Tevenue. Democrats have coupled their ef- fort with a move to knock out of the house bill an administration- backed provision which would give substantial tax relief to stockhold- ers on their dividend income. The revenue loss would be 240 million the first year, and 814 million an- nually when fully effective. The social security bill, Rep. Damiel A, Reed (R-NY) said Sat- urday night, will win “overwhelm- ing” House approval. The Senate has not acted. Two GOP opponents Reps. Mason (Ill) and utt (Calif) assailed the bill’s main points but indicated they thought it would pass. Reed, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee which handled the bill, hailed it as representing ‘substantial progress towards achieving universal old-age and survivors’ insurance coverage with benefit levels adequate to provide alistic minimum . . . protec- Mason and Utt centered their fire on a provision to increase from $3,600 to $4,200 the maximum annual wage on which both work- ers and employers contribute, cur- Tently at a rate of 2 per cent. On the housing issue, Senate Democratic leaders were reported looking for some compromise which might avert a party split over a civil rights issue. The pos- sibility of such a split was raised last week when the Supreme Court threw out an appeal in behalf of racial segregation in a public hous- ing project. Sen. Maybank (D-SC), previous- ly a strong advocate of low-rent public housing, then announced he would move in the Senate to strike out all authority for such projects. Eisenhower asked authority to build 140,000 units over a four- year period. The House eliminated all public housing authority, and the administration had been count- ing on the Senate to restore it. Sen. Ellender (D-La) said over the weekend he would continue to support public housing, but he conceded the Supreme Court’s ac- tion would “undoubtedly affect the thinking of those who are luke- warm... .” The issue is not likely to come to a Senate vote before next week.

There was* still confusion as to how best to handle the assembly’s de-segregation motion. While the assembly’s motion was believed by some commissioners to have the effect of an order, other commis- sioners felt that it would be neces- sary for the various synods, pres- byteries and individual churches to decide whether to follow the motion. i The General Assembly generally gives to local churches a free hand. Whether the de-segregation action would be left in that category was still a topic of private debate here. pleted. diner of REASONABLE HARLINGEN, Tex.

In eastern sections of the coun- try where communities are closer to each other, stations in the homes of amateurs of mobile rigs in their cars provided the links. But in this mountain-studded area, portable equipment, most of it operated from small gas-driven electric generators carried over primitive roads up the sides of mountains, was used.
