"It is the very first stepping- By BILL LYNCH Times Legislative Correspondent BATON ROUGE John J. McKeithen became Louisiana's 54th governor Tuesday, calling for a union with business and industry and a time for action, not words. Termed Nil Senate Democratic Leaders Tell 1 U.I Prior to Pleading With Southern Foo WASHINGTON Senate Democratic leaders told President Johnson Tuesday that progress on the civil rights bill is "nil." Then they went before the Senate to plead with Southern foes of the measure to permit some votes.

Senate Republican leader Ever ett M. Dirksen of Illinois painted a more optimistic picture. After the weekly luncheon of GOP sen-ators he told newsmen he believes a compromise bill could be passed in about five more weeks. Dirksen said full accord was reached on the 70-amendment package he offered to the Senate leadership and Atty. Gen.

Robert F. Kennedy last week. He said after "a final look-see" today he will put the package before a conference of all Republican senators. His soundings. Dirksen said, have convinced him the House would accept a bill carrying his amendments.

And his response from his Senate GOP colleagues has been good, he said. DIXIE SOLONS MEET Earlier in the day, Southern forces met in caucus and agreed not to permit any voting until they feel they have enough support to write in their version of a jury trial amendment. They remained unyielding in the face of the pleas for action. All this fame amid emotional speeches on the floor with senators taking their colleagues to task for letting the debate drag into its 53rd day. There were demands from sev- eral for an attempt to invoke cloture to shut off further talk, at least on the jury trial issue.

Some wanted outright cloture on the whole bill. Majority leader Mike Mansfield, made an emotion-choked admission that he hasn't tried this before because "in all honesty we did not have the voles." It takes a two-thirds majority of senators voting to limit debate. "And in my opinion," Mansfield added, "we do not have the votes now." After meeting at. the White House with Johnson, the Demo cratic leader told newsmen he would keep the Senate in session all year if necessary, with recesses for the national political conventions, to get Johnson's program passed. Dirksen, in discussing his more optimistic outlook, would not say he is certain enough GOP senators would accept his package.

He conceded it probably would require 2a votes from his side to attain the 67 needed for cloture, if all 100 senators voted. Asked if the package would produce cloture, Dirksen reminded the newsmen he has been saying all along that a time would come for action and he declared: "I get the feeling that that time is just about now." One of those in the floor debate who called for cloture was Sen. William D. Proxmire, who said Ihe debate is "already the longest filibuster in the his tory of the Senate the grand- daddy of all filibusters." after we get it we intend to protect it by whatever means necessary as an integral part of the Louisiana family." McKeithen said the presence of industrialists at the inaugural ceremony is evidence of "your acceptance at face value of my oft-repeated commitment to you that Louisiana has come of age in its attitude toward business and industry." He told the business world that the people understand they must walk hand in hand into the future in full cooperation with business and with industry. "Our labor leaders and those they lead appreciate this," he said.

"The message is now clear to us that our jobs, our prosperity, and the welfare of our The 43-year-old Colum bia attorney, who fought three difficult campaigns to win the governorship, had one last battle before he made it the elements turned against him and a storm nearly washed out the ceremony.

C. Aycock took the oath for his second term. A roving thunderstorm that already had drenched the several thousand spectators at the foot of the capitol steps once before the noon hour came back again just as McKeithen began his inaugural address. BAIN POURS DOWN The new governor abandoned part of his prepared text, do- daring he stood by what it said! and wound it up as rain poured down. He was shielded by urn brellas, but the crowd had dispersed when the rain began falling hard.

McKeithen said, "unless Louisiana -fosters, nourishes, encourages enterprises we cannot have economic well being for our citizens." Calling for action, McKeithen said, "so let us be about our work. The time for promises and words has passed." He said, "let those of us in government in this state demonstrate by our deeds that we not only want new industrial and business development, but that stroller -ft i man on the ballot, shared half of the votes in Tuesday's Nebraska Republican presidential primary with write-in candidates, notably former Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Ambassa dor Henry Cabot Lodfie. In another uncontested GOP presidential nrimarv. in West Vir ginia, Gov.

Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York received about two thirds of the voles cast in a Re publican gubernatorial primary. But unlike Nebraska, write-in votes are not counted in West Virginia. Goldwater supporters had said beforehand that Arizona's aspirant for the GOP presidential nomination would get more than half the votes cast in the Nebraska primary. Early returns showed him with a little less than per cent.

Nixon, the party's nominee in I Wilt who has said he would accent the iob again, but is not a candidate for it. drew about 30 per cent. A last minute campaign for write-ins was waged in his behalf. Lodge, ambassador to South Viel Nam and like Nixon a non-candidate, was running third. There also was a write-in campaign for him.

With 189 of Nebraska's 2.11R precincts reporting. Goldwater had voles. The. write-ins were scattered this way: 4,194 for Nixon. 2.049 for Lodge, 2-10 or Rockefeller, 48 of Gov.

William W. Scranlon of Pennsyl vania, 23 for Sen. Margaret Chase Smith. 18 for Gov. George Wallace of Alabama and 242 for others.

In West Virginia, Rockefeller had votes in 577 of the slate's precincts. This meant that about. fi5 per cent oi tne ne-publicans who voted in Tuesday's gubernatorial primary took time to vote also for Rockefeller. There were no Democratic presidential primaries in cither state but President Johnson was drawing a solid write-in vote in Nebraska. With 173 precincts reporting, Johnson had 4,354 votes to 184 for Atty.

Gen. Robert. F. Kennedy, 10(1 for Gov. Wallace and 187 for a handful of other men.

Tn another development Tues day, Rhode Island Republicans selected 10 at-large delegates to the GOP convention after beating down an all erupt to put one more Goldwater supporter on the delegation. The 10 are nominally uncommitted, but has some known backers of all the major candidates. Missouri Republicans elected I six more GOP delegates. Two viPt-p instructed to vote for Gold- water and two more said they favor his nomination. Two were isled as uncommitted.

Tuesday action gives Goldwater 14 of the 20 Missouri delegates selected so far, and boosts his front-running total, according to an Associated Press survey, to 276. Nomination requires 655. Voters in both West Virginia and Nebraska also elected dele gates to the Republican and Democratic conventions, but they are not bound bv the outcome of the presidential primaries in their states. The voters also nominated candidates for senator, governor and the House ot representatives. West Virginias tormer gover nor, Cecil II.

Bullets whistled around the Turkish sector all day, stopping only after the Irish soldiers took up positions on the walls, surrounding it and at the three gales on the border between the sectors. No casualties were reported.

The Greek army garrison on Cyprus was ordered by Athens to avoid any retaliation for the slaying of the two Greek officers, but Greece also demanded that the U.N. force arrest the Turkish Cypriots who machine-gunned them. REAL TRUTH The U.N. force sent a Swedish civilian official, former Stockholm police chief John Lundvall, to Famagusta to investigate the shooting and try to learn whether it was provoked or in cold blood. A U.N.

spokesman said Lundvall will "turn over every stone to get at the real truth of the matter." Defense ministry sources in Athens said Greek armored units begun maneuvers in Thrace bordering on Turkey, which has backed the Turkish Cypriot community in the conflict. In the Hague, Foreign Minister Paul Martin of Canada in a speech to the council of foreign ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization urged Greece and Turkey to reach a peaceful settlement. Both are NATO members and their dis pute over Cyprus poses a grave threat to unity of the alliance. Meanwhile, Canadian U.N. paratroopers tripled their strength, from 180 to 550 men, in the Kyrenia Mountains where new violence was feared.

The speakers ranged from minister of the interior Poly-carpos Georgadjis to representatives of the police, the Greek Cypriot national guard units and former member of EOKA, the Greek Cypriot underground that fought the British for independence. The speakers called the Turkish Cypriots "bloodthirsty barbarians" who had killed in cold blood.

By a 19-8 party-line vote Ihe Democrats defeated a Republican proposal to let existing agencies handle the nc program, instead of setting up a separate agency headed by Sargent Shriver. The vote reflected two weeks of separate sessions the Democrats have held to work out a unified position on the bill, which embraces a wide variety of pro grams designed tn help the poor gain a better place in the economy. The committee approved unanimously a change in the administration bill which would open a proposed job training corps to young women 16-22. A require ment, tentatively approved earlier by the Democrats, that one-third of the cnrolles be women, was eliminated. At all, a total of 17 amendments were offered during the first committee session on the bill and 8 were approved.

Legislature Returns to Toils Today Solon Will Srnd Hills to Committee, Decide on When to Ouit for Weekend By JACK OWENS BATON ROUGE UP) The legislature returns to day to send hundreds of bills to committee and de cide when to quit for the weekend. The Senate returns at 10 a.m. and the House 30 minutes later. The lawmakers also are expected to get the word whether Gov. John McKeithen will tell a joint session about his legislative program Wednesday night or next week.

Administration sources suggested the joint session address may be delivered next week. Both House and Senate took a holiday to take part in the inaugural festivities for McKeithen and Lt. Gov. C. C.

Both failed Monday to get the rules waived so their resolutions could be put to a vote instead of being held over on the calendar the usual one legislative day. One of the 138 Senate bills ready for assignment to a committee for study was Sen. Dudley LeBlanc's proposal to pay Louisiana teachers their full new salary schedule. Some lawmakers have given the opinion the eacher forces will put on one of their greatest pushes to get the $35 million pay boost. Companion measures for other school employees and bus drivers would hike the total to $51 million.

The proposed $1)64 million budget does not include these funds. In the House, the so-called free electors hill and at least two election law change bills were ready for committee assignment.

George II. Mahon, I)-Tex. See storv on Page 5-A. (AP Wirephoto) Busk Urges Allies to Aid S. Viet Nam Isolation of Cuba Also Asked in Hid To Head Off Crisis THE HAGUE, Netherlands Wi Secretary of State Dean Rusk asked the Western Allies T'ucs-! day to send non-military aid to' South Viet Nam and to isolate Cuba to head off a new world crisis.

He also saw potential danger to the West in the Moscow-Peking dispute. He urged the isolation of Cuba economically, politically, socially and even spiritually to prevent Prime Minister Fidel Castro's regime from subverting other Latin American countries. Rusk told the opening session of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO council of foreign ministers that a new crisis over Cuba would affect the whole Western world. This was aimed at such NATO nations as Britain and France who trade with Cuba despite the U.S. economic embargo on the island nation.

The United Stales is determined to continue aerial reconnaissance of Cuba, Rusk said, pointing out this could lead to as serious a confrontation as that in October of 1962, when the Soviet Union introduced missiles in Cuba. Foreign Secretary Richard A. Bui lor of Britain agreed with Rusk's proposal lor non-military aid to boost morale among civilians in South Vict Nam, where the United Stales is supporting a war against Communist guerrillas. Butler conceded that there was a difference of views over Cuba, a reference to the sale of British buses to Cuba. But this did not alter the fact that the aims of the Allies are Ihe same and that the NATO countries are determined to help Latin American countries protect their security, he declared.

In London, Prime Minister Douglas-Home told a cheering House of Commons that. Britain's trade wit Cuba is increasing and the government has no intention of stopping normal commercial practice.

"We are no longer self-sufficient pioneers. Our government has grown as our civilization has grown, and I see it now as every citizen's partner and protector, but as no man's tyrant, and as no man's slave. MUST BE FAIR "But to be good government it must be fair government. Its purpose is neither to fatten the few at the expense of the many, nor to feather the many at the expense of the few." McKeithen cited the wealth of the state's natural resources and said if something is amiss, "if we do witness poverty and inequity; if other states are surpassing us in prosperity; if distrust and dissension appear to be blocking our aspiration, the fault must be somewhere within ourselves. "I submit that it lies in our complacency, in our self-imposed isolation, and in our preoccupa tion with the past.

Like it or not, we live today in a world of change and turmoil. "We are faced with new reali ties, new possibilities, and new necessities," he continued. "We can no longer subsist on the fare that nourished our fathers." McKeithen confined his inau gural remarks to generalities, but his remarks obviously were geared toward the business and industrial community and a bet- ter image for Louisiana. "We must have more and bet ter education for all our citizens," he said. "WTe must provide ourselves with the understanding with the intellectual skill and training required to keep pace with our competitors." He said, I am determined to project an image of a newly-awakened, newly enlightened Louisiana, in which our native talent can flourish and to which new talent from elsewhere will be attracted.

'I cannot fabricate such an image," he declared, "lt must be authentic or it will quickly fade and vanish if it is not based on reality." The new governor urged the people to look forward as well as backward at their heritage. "We are proudly a part of the South," he said. "But we realize that the South is a part of America. The slate of Louisiana can contribute well governed, prosperous, wealthy, enlightened, and inspired, can vitally affect the destiny of both. The state of Louisiana can.

contribute significantly to the South, to this great nation, and to civilization itself, in the process of serving the needs of its own citizens. He said that through his program he hopes to serve the people honestly, prudently, efficiently and with imagination. McKeithen said that, when his term is done he hopes that he will be remembered for "having made the lives of the men and women I serve as governor more meaningful and more fruit ful." "Let us face the problems of our time and the challenges of our day," he said.
