Administration Deal Seen on Rights Bill
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Two Republican senators suspect the Johnson Administration may have agreed to weaken the Civil Rights Bill in a deal for Southern support to continue excise taxes.
Sens. Thurston B. Morton, Ky., and Hugh Scott, Pa., suggested yesterday that while Southern Democrats held fast during Senate debate against repeal of taxes on items such as luggage and cosmetics, southerners in the House put up little fight against the broad Civil Rights measure.
"We all think that means they've got a deal brewing in the Senate with the administration," Scott said in a radio and television interview. "We don't know what the deal is, but we are very suspicious that it's something to weaken the Civil Rights Bill."
MORTON ADDED that it was the only way he could "account for the fact that Southern Democrats voted solidly to retain these taxes." He said that friends in the retail business had assured him they had "definite commitments" from five Southern senators to vote with Republicans on repeal of the taxes during debate of the $11.6 billion tax cut bill.
The bill, banning discrimination in voting, employment, education, public accommodations and use of federal funds was expected to be taken up in the Senate late this month or early in March.
A leading Negro spokesman warned yesterday that "direct action" may be used against any senator who does not support a move to
mit debate in the face of an ex-
pended. Southern filibuster.
JAMES FARMER, director of the Congress on Racial Equality, said no decision on the type of action to be taken had been made, but he said another "march on Washington" similar to the one held last summer was not planned.
"YAWS DO NOT enforce themselves," he said. "We will have to go from restaurant to restaurant in Mississippi and Alabama."
One Southern leader, Sen. John J. Sparkman, D-Ala., predicted Senate leaders would probably attempt to halt a filibuster two or three weeks after debate on the legislation begins. He conceded during a radio interview that enough votes could be mustered to limit debate on some unspecified provisions of Civil Rights Bill.
However, he idicated during a television program protest marches might be held in the hometown of any senator who does not vote for limiting debate. Farmer also said his group planned to have "even more lobbyists" on and for the Senate Civil Rights debate than it had in the House.
Cupid Strikes Royalty
Even if Congress passes a strong Civil Rights Bill this year, Farmer said it would not mean an end to Negro demonstrations against discrimination.
A Northern Republican senator, Sen. Clifford P. Case, N.J., predicted that the Senate certainly would weaken the bill as passed by the House, but said he was sure the measure would be passed. The question is, he said, "whether it will be strong enough to be worthwhile."
Editor's Note: Why do royal romances so often become stormy matters of State, as in the case of Holland's Princess Irene who has just become engaged to a Spanish prince? This is the first of three dispatches in which a noted correspondent who has been covering European royalty for many years reports on the pitfalls such lovers face.

addition to a bachelor of arts degree, offers English as part of the master of arts degree and the Ph. D. degree. At KU the English department is one of the largest departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and probably one of the most familiar to KU students. Each student at the University takes at least two and most students take four undergraduate courses in English.
Because the English Department touches so many students, it is important to keep attracting good faculty members, Worth said. "At present, the department is not only attracting high quality faculty members, but also retaining them," he noted. "We are also attracting and keeping young people to both the field of English and to teaching positions at KU."
Professor Worth has been a member of the English department at KU since 1955. His research activities have resulted in scholarly books, textbooks, and various articles on such literary persons as Dickens, Thackery, George Eliot, and other 19th Century authors.
"English is one of the humanities." Worth continued. "It is taught in hopes that it will stretch the student's mind and spirit, as well as giving him the background to cone with the world today."
A Fulbright fellow at the University of London in 1953-54, he returned to the University of Illinois to receive his Ph.D. in 1954.
cated it all becomes. Consider the case of Princess Irene, 24, daughter of Queen Juliana of Holland who fell in love with Prince Hugo Carlos De Bourbon Parma, 33, Carlist pretender to the throne of Spain.
HE IS SPANISH—and royal memories are longer and more bitter than those of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Wasn't it the Spaniards who inflicted the council of blood on the Netherlands about 400 years ago? Wasn't it a Spanish general who massacred the population of Naarden to a man?
And sparkling along the centuries of his distinguished lineage isn't that pulpy ancestor with the periwig Louis the XIV, the "Sun King" of France? Yes, indeed, and Louis warred against Holland with the same tenacity, if not the same ferocity, as the Duke of Alva.
Spain was Catholic—so is Prince Carlos. Four hundred years is eternity to the average family but to a nation it is a riffle of pages in a history that (to Holland) comes into the written word with the campaign of Julius Caesar in 57 B.C.
Princess Irene is one of the four wholesome daughters of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard. They are a warm and delightful family with a friendly informality that comes from within. When her parents say their first concern is the happiness of Irene you know they mean it.
SO THE ANCIENT antagonisms and suspicions simmer over a low flame ready to come to a boil at any time. And when Princess Irene left her Protestant faith to become a Catholic in December—the first in her family since her tight-lipped ancestor, William the Silent in the 16th century—the heat was on.
Irene was, until recently, second in line to the throne behind her sister, Crown Princess Beatrix, 26. She likes skiing, tennis, swimming and driving hot-rod automobiles but, being Dutch, she was a serious and useful side. She is a qualified interpreter in Spanish and licensed to practice before the Dutch courts.
LAST JANUARY 10 she left for Spain presumably to brush up on her Spanish but not, as far as the public knew, to concentrate so wholeheartedly on the verb "amar"—to love. Another fact not generally known at the time was that she had been received into the Catholic church a month earlier by Bernhard Cardinal Alfrink, Archbishop of Utrecht.

NEW YORK—(UPI)—The Soviet Union still is trying to remould the United Nations staff to its own liking.
Soviet Wants U.N.Shakeup
By Donald Johnson United Press International
While the Communists have shelved their demand for a "troika" executive, they are campaigning for a secretariat system which, Western officials insist, would demoralize the staff, increase and reduce the organization's operational efficiency.
The Communists want more of the 1,300 permanent U.N. jobs and a
greater turnover of the administrative staff. To achieve this, they are demanding more short-term contracts at the expense of a long-term international civil service.
This campaign is far more subtle than the former insistence upon a three-headed, or troika, executive representing the Communist, western and neutralist groups. The Communists discarded the troika idea for the time being when they accepted U Thant as Secretary-General and when faced by Western arguments that divided authority at the top would paralyze the world organization.
