Expected Filibuster Will

administration’s civil rights bill,

be blunt, a filibuster.”
The bill, already passed by the
House, was placed on the Senate
calendar by a 45-39 vote in an unu-
sual maneuver sparked by Senate
Republican Leader Knowland of
California. Thus the bill bypassed
the Senate Judiciary Committee,
where a companion measure has

legislation sometimes shy away
from using the word filibuster,
Sen. Ellender (D-La) showed no

Bricker
Amendment
Okay Urged
WASHINGTON. June 32 HI -
Sen. Ellender (D-La) called to-
night far prompt passage of the
Bricker Amendment to “forestall
another Girard case.”
Ellender said that if the amend-
ment had been in effect when the
case of Army Specialist William
S. Girard broke. “I do not think
there would have been an interna-
tional furor over it.”
He spoke of the controversial
constitutional amendment by Sen.
Bricker (R-Ohio) designed to curb
the treaty-making power. Ellender
said it would make sure “not
treaty or international agreement
can be used to strip our citizens
of any rights guaranteed them by
the Constitution."
Ellender applauded an injunc-
tion in Washington by Federal
District Judge Joseph C. McGar-
rathy forbidding military author-
ities from turning Girard over to
Japanese authorities for trial on
a charge of fatally shooting a
Japanese woman.
The senator said that if the Su-
preme Court fails to uphold the
ruling Congress should see that
“status of forces and similar
agreements are promptly
amended.”
Steinbeck Says
He Was Adlai’s
Ghost Writer
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June
22 un—Author John Steinbeck said
today he acted as a ghost-writer
for Democratic candidate Adlai
Stevenson during last year’s presi-
dential campaign.
In an interview with the new-
paper Information, he said Steven-
son was actually “a fine writer,
but, as such, too intellectual.”
‘‘I myself helped him during his
campaign last year," he said. "I
prepared some of his speeches,
not only regarding their political
aims, but also with a view of mak-
ing them more understandable
for the masses.”
Steinbeck, who is here on a pri-
vate visit, praised Stevenson as
’ the most intelligent presidential
candidate we have had for a long
time.”

Insurance Plan
In 'Mothballs'
WASHINGTON, June 22 m—The
Federal flood insurance program
will be put in “mothballs” until
the next session of Congress, Al-
bert M. Cole, housing and home

Cole said no request will be

plans already developed are suffi-
cient for starting the program.
He stressed the need for such
a program and said Congress
would be asked at its next session
for funds to give the plans "a fair
trial.”
The House refused last Tuesday
