Harry F. Byrd of Virginia to the White House for lunch today in anoth Italy Given New Four -Party Coalition Government Today er maneuver aimed at attempting to prod an $ll-billion tax-cut bill through Congress. Congressional sources report ed that the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee accepted the invitation for a luncheon conference. The tax bill has passed the House, but Byrd's committee has shown no disposition to shove it along quickly, even though Johnson has given it top priority, just as President John F. Kennedy did.

Johnson has been using every opportunity to build up support for the bill he called on labor and business leaders Wednesday to get behind it, as well as civil rights legislation. Johnson told them it was languishing in the Finance Committee. The President developed a reputation for getting results with a sort of personal, political diplomacy when he was Democratic leader of the Senate. The meeting with Byrd was along similar lines. Johnson is appealing for help See LBJ Page 10 Action Would Be Break in Long Deadlock Resolution Is Planned To Take MeasureOut Of Rules Committee WASHINGTON (AP) Rep.

Howard W. Smith, chairman of the House Rules Committee, today said he will hold hearings on the civil rights bill "reasonably soon in January." The announcement was a major break in the deadlock over the legislation and could stall a drive by the Democratic leadership to take the bill away from the Rules Committee by a discharge petition. Rep. Emanuel Celler, chairman of the Judiciary Committee which produced the bill, said if Smith would announce that the hearings would not last longer than two weeks the discharge petition would not be filed. At present, however, Celler added, he intends to go through with his plan to file the petition Monday.

If 218 members sign it, the Rules Committee would lose control of the bill and it could be scheduled for floor action. House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck applauded the scheduling of hearings and predicted the civil rights bill will be passed by the House be fore the end of January. The Indiana congressman, who caught a ride to town with President Johnson today, said he made the same prediction to the President even before ha knew of Smith's announcement. After the automobile trip, the two had more time for talk fleer breakfast at the White House.

Asked what Johnson's reaction was, Halleck replied: "I'm not going to say he wouldn't like to have a bill by the end of this year, but one thing about President Johnson, he's a realist and I'd have to say he realizes this is about the best that can be done." Speaker John W. McCormack said Smith's action would not cause the discharge petition to be dropped. "The petition will be filed Monday," he said. Smith's announcement, released by his office, noted that the Judiciary Committee took six months to write the bill after President Kennedy requested it last June, and that a final report by the committee members was filed only this week. The firm setting of a hearing by Smith for early next year was one of the goals of House leaders in filing a discharge petition.

They hoped the petition would serve as a prod to break Smith's long silence on what he would do.

Robert Casper of Winterset, head of a group of insurgents which has sharply criticized Staley's policies as head of the NFO, said he was willing to retract all complaints "and eat crow." But there were indications that the three and one-half hour hassle at the national conven tion between the one-time friends may not have closed the split that has developed within the organization. After Staley and Casper shook hands delegates argued bitterly among themselves and a fist fight almost broke out in the Minnesota delegation. During the long debate Casper repeated his earlier charges that Staley ran the NFO "like a dictator," that finances were not properly handled and the policy emphasizing all-out holding actions was shortsighted and causing old members of the organization to lose faith.

Staley denied all the charges. Casper volunteered to take a lie detector test if Staley would do See STALEY Page 10 Nekoosa Rancher Held For Cattle Stealing WISCONSIN RAPIDS (AP) Robert Nichols, 26-year-old Nekoosa cattle rancher, has been ordered held under $5,000 bond in Adams County on a charge of stealing domestic aninvals. Sheriff Frank Series said that Nichols, who operates an 840-acre cattle ranch in Adams County, was arrested with a truck carrying six beef cattle which did not belong to him.

When Kennedv finished his 0wn speech, he turned and point- edly walked over to Mrs. Roose velt and Lehman to shake their hands. Lehman did not enter politics actively until he was 50, after he had carved a career as a sue-! cessful and wealthy executive in I the financial world. He was a partner in Lehman Brothers, a banking firm, resigning in 1928. That year he won election as 1 lieutenant governor, running on a ticket with Franklin D.

Roosevelt, who was elected governor. Roosevelt frequently called him "my good right arm." When Roosevelt moved on to the presidency in 1932, Lehman won the governor's chair and held it for 10 years three two-year terms and one four-year SeeLEILMAN-Page 10 rV fP iLLjt ROME (AP) Premier Aldo Moro and his new center-left Cabinet were sworn in today, giving Italy a four-party coalition government, including Socialists for the first time in 16 years. It was Italy's 25th post-Fascist government. As the premier took the oath before President Antonio Segni, there was speculation whether the uneasy alliance patched together with such difficulty could 6tand much strain. Formation of the four-party coalition ended a political crisis that began in April when the ruling Christian Democrats suffered a setback and the Communists gained a million votes in the election of a new Parliament.

For 13 months before the election, Christian Democratic Premier Amintore Fanfani headed a center-left government supported by the Socialists, but the latter stayed out of the Cabinet. The election results strengthened a Socialist faction that wanted the party to return to its traditional alliance with Italy's big Communist party. But, Socialist leader Pietro Nen-ni finally brought the party back into alliance with the Christian Democrats. Other parties in the coalition are Giuseppe Saragat's Democratic Socialists and the Republicans. They were the other two members of Fanfani's coalition.

The new government is pledged to support the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in foreign affairs and to begin new economic planning the first Negro admitted to Auburn. The university thus will be the fourth institution of higher learning in Alabama to ad mit a Negro.

S. Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. of Montgomery had issued the order Nov. 5 barring William V.

Parker, dean of the Auburn graduate school, fromj rejecting the application on tne grounds Franklin lacked a degree from an accredited college. Franklin, 30, is a graduate of Alabama State, a Negro college in Montgomery. He did not graduate from high school. A university official said Wednesday night that the school policy as stated publicly by the board of trustees and President Ralph Draughon, remains unchanged: namely, to continue the court fight and, meanwhile, prepare for the "orderly admission" of Franklin should all else fail. Winter quarter registration for new students is scheduled Jan.
