Armor, Men Begin Texas-Europe Shift
ABOARD LEAD JET TRANSPORT — (UPI) — The "hell on wheels" division is streaming over a 5,600-mile aerial bridge from Ft. Hood, Tex., to Europe today to show enemy and ally alike how fast the 1963 U.S. Army can rush into action overseas.
The plans for this $20 million project calls for the entire 2nd Armored Division plus 3,000 support troops—10,000 men in all—to fly from Texas air bases in less than 72 hours.
Kick-off for the gigantic effort came when this military version of the 707 jet passenger liner jumped from a Bergstrom Air Force Base runway at Austin with Maj. Gen Edwin H. Burba, division commander, elements of his headquarters and four newsmen aboard.
Scheduled flying time for jet transports is $10^{\frac{1}{2}}$ hours and, for the slowest planes, C124 Globemasters, $31^{\frac{1}{4}}$ hours.
Preparations for the enormous movement were weeks in the making and infinitely detailed.
Everything from making of wills to instructions about avoiding the no-man's land at the Iron Curtain was drilled in the troops, probably half of them are going to Germany for the first time.
For the past two weeks, Ft. Hood, home of the 2nd Armored, bore resemblance to German bases and towns where the troop will spend the next month. German road signs were posted everywhere—like "Einbeinstrasse" for one-way street—and drivers were carefully trained under German traffic regulations.
Troops were drilled on the standard operating procedures of the U.S. 7th Army in Europe under whose jurisdiction they will maneuver. They learned about German-American relations and their legal rights under status of forces agreements. Medical, legal and financial affairs were arranged.
Four hundred men of the division remained at Ft. Hood to care for the division's 300 tanks, 429 armored personnel carriers, 76 howitzers and other heavy equipment. Counterpart equipment is stored in Germany and it is part of the exercise to see how rapidly it can be taken from depots, made ready and rushed into action.
There was a movement over the week-end of 500 2nd Armored men to Germany to inventory the equipment and be ready to feed the thousands of soldiers and airmen streaming in.
House Committee Nears Civil Rights Bill Decision
WASHINGTON,-UPI- The House Judiciary Committee today approached a decision on civil rights.
The 35-member committee scheduled a meeting today to start voting on the stepped-up version of President Kennedy's civil rights bill approved last month by a subcommittee.
It was the second time the committee was supposed to begin nailing down provisions of the controversial bill. On the first occasion last week, committee leaders abruptly cancelled the meeting and went into a series of private strategy talks.
The reason for the first postponement was that the committee is split at least three ways on what kind of civil rights bill should be sent to the house.
THE FIRST GROUP, led by Chairman Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y., and Rep. William McCulloch, R-Ohio, was trying to soften the most controversial provisions of the bill and reach an agreement that would unite both liberal and moderate northern Democrats and Republicans. Estimated strength of the Celler-McCulloch group is about 12 members. Its effort was spearheaded by Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, who told the committee last week that the subcommittee bill was too tough to pass.

The second group is led by Reps. Robert Kastenmeier, D-Wis., and John V. Lindsay, R-N.Y., who are fighting to retain the subcommittee bill with only minor changes. This faction may have as many as 15 members, but some of them are believed ready to switch to the Celler-McCulloch axis if the two leaders can come up with a bi-partisan bill.
THE THIRD GROUP is made up of the committee's eight southern members--six Democrats and two Republicans—who oppose the bill from top to bottom. The southerners have the most completely united group and, depending upon their willingness to gamble, have the best strategic position.
