In hteory 166 H-bombs were dropped on 155 targets in the United States and its territories.

Eisenhower was "evacuated" directly from the White House. Today the clock was jumped to 15 days after the 'attack. Purpose of this phase of the drill, to last until Friday, is to determine how a govemment-in- hiding would bring order out of chaos. U. S.

Special singing each evening LIKELYTUESDAY Foes Ex peer to Limit Measure to Voting Rights Only. By JOHN CHAD WICK WASHINGTON Sen. Ervln (D-NC) said, today ne sees "a good chance" to reduce the administration's civil rights bill "to what its supporters have been trying to advertise it.to a voting rights bill." While Ervin and other Southern senators expressed confidence they were gaining ground, they are likely to run into an increasing counterattack from supporters of the House-passed bill once the preliminary skirmishing is ended. So far the Senate debate, now entering its seventh day, has been technically on a motion of Senate Republican Leader Knowland of California to take the bill off the calendar and bring it up for ac tion. This is to be voted on late Tuesday, and even the bill's all-out (foes concede the motion will carry.

Once this happens and the Sen ate turns to actual consideration of the bill and proposed amendments, proponents plan to jump into the deWe. To date, in the interest of time, they have been largely to leave the speech-making to Southern foes of the bill. The measure, passed by the House last month, would establish a six-m ember commission to study civil rights problems, and create a special civil rights division within the attorney general's office. Another part, designated Section 3, would permit the attorney general to obtain federal court injunctions against violations, or threatened violations, of voting rights and other civil rights instead having to rely ohcflmlnal prose' cutions. Persons accused of defying the injunctions could be convicted and jailed for contempt of court with' out a jury trial.

Still another section makes similar provisions specifically limited to voting rights. Sen. Russell (D-Ga), leader of the Dixie forces, offered an amendment Saturday to rip out the whole of Section 3. He and other opponents contend that section is aimed at forcing racial integration in Southern schools and other public places with the use of federal troops if necessary. Later in the day Sen.

Nine Lives Lost Nine persons lost their lives in Chicago due to the storm.

Many of them were electrocuted as they tried to pump water out of the homes. Thirteen thousand of the 33,000 telephones knocked out of service in the city and suburbs Still have substitute for the House-passed bill that would strike out Section 13 and provide for jury trials when issues of fact were involved in contempt cases growing out of the enforcement of voting rights. Mundt said his substitute was designed as "a measure, the Southerners can't vote for, but one with which they can live." He said that it would curtail the powers of the proposed civil rights commission so that it could issue subpoenas only in cases involving voting rights. Further encouragement for the Southern forces came from the disclosure by Sen. Anderson (D- NM) that he is drafting an amendment which, like Russell's, would erase Section 3 of the bill.

Anderson, at the start of the congressional session this year, led a futile fight to revise Senate rules to make it easier to break Southerners' ultimate weapon against civil rights measures. BUI Too Stringent But he said in an intennew that he had become convinced that the bill passed by the House is "too stringent." "I want the Negroes to vote and I believe that if Congress passes a bill guaranteeing them the right to vote, it will be respected," ne said. If not, he said, Congress could toughen the law. While Russell, Ervin and other Southern senators applauded these developments, Sen. Douglas (D, HI) said he would "resist any amendment" of the bill.

Also speaking out against any compromises were Senators Javits (R-NY) and Potter (R-Mlch).
