Trial began Oct. 28. Rights in 60 By ARNOLD SAWISLAK WASHINGTON (UPI) President Johnson's campaign to get the civil rights bill moving paid its first dividends Thursday. The House now is expected to act on the measure within 60 days. There was no official word of agreement on a timeable for the bill.

But there was every indication that a bipartisan arrangement was in the making to move it through the House Rules Committee and through the House in January. Senate action may take several more months. The bill, aimed at the elimination of racial discrimination in voting, employment, education, public accommodations and the use of federal funds, is the number one item on Johnson's legislative priority list. The measure, extracted by the late President Kennedy from the House Judiciary Committee after months of bickering, has been before the Southern led Rules Committee for two weeks. In the usual course, all big bills must be cleared by the rules committee.

Chairman Non-Committal Until Thursday, Chairman Howard W. Smith, leader of the House conservative Southern bloc, had given no indication he planned to move it despite private appeals from speaker John W. McCormack and other leaders. Johnson, early this week, gave McCormack and other civil rights supporters the goahead to try to take bill away from Smith if the Virginian would not move. That effort was building up to the (Continued on Page 6, Col.

Lehman, 85, New Deal architect and' a liberal leader of the Democratic party, died Thursday of a heart attack as he prepared to the White House to receive fore nation's highest civilian peacetime honor awarded to him by the martyred President Kennedy. Lehman succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt as governor of New York and served four terms, matched only by the four terms of Al Smith.

James Battin, R- said Thursday.

"We are a country that can unite when challenged and a country that can provide leadership when it is needed," Battin said. He said national unity following the assassination of John F. Kennedy was an example of this American characteristic. "Out of the tragedy that struck the nation Nov. 22 we must realize the country did not die and that Americans have proved again their ability to unite in time of crisis as they always have and always will," Battin said.

The orderly transition from one administration to another typical of a nation that describes itself as "a government of law, not of men," Battin told the Montana Wool Growers Association. Battin added that the oftvoiced warning against "hate" since the Kennedy assassination should not be taken as a cue to stifle dissent among men, among parties, among institutions.

LBJ in Budget Bind By ROBERT BARKDOLL WASHINGTON -President Johnson was pictured Thursday as caught in a budget bind that will all but force him to propose a fiscal 1965 spending program of about $102 billion. That would be about $3 billion more than in the current year. The picture was drawn by White House officials who blamed only fate- or "built in" budget increases.

There was no attempt to fault Congress or the Kennedy administration. According ot these Johnson aides, the only way to trim the budget for the fiscal year starting next July 1 is to reduce or eliminate programs already in this year's budget. While they did not say so, such programs are few in the administration's eyes. Here is the way one source saw the situation: The budget sent to Congress last January for the current fiscal year called for spending of $98.8 billion, and a deficit of $11.9 billion. Add $3 Billion has been added as the result of legislation passed in previous years and during the current session of Congress.

Legislation of past years accounted for an additional $1.8 billion and 1963 bills for another $1.15 billion. One example of "built in" in- Actually, however, $3 billion creases stemming from past years is the military pay increase bill. It was effective for nine months of the current fiscal year, but will cost another $300 million in fiscal 1965. Other examples include space funds to abide by past commitments, pay raises for federal workers and of course the steady rise in interest on the public debt.

Averell Harriman, Thursday, soon to ON HOLY LAND JOURNEY Jordan Fears for Pope's Safety JERUSALEM (AP)-The visit of Pope Paul VI to the Holy Land early in January was seen in this divided city Thursday night as a pilgrimage to improve Roman Catholic relations with Jews and Moslems. Some even expressed belief that the Pope's unprecedented journey might help to allay anger and suspicion that wall off Jews from the Moslem Arabs in the volatile Middle East. One concern expressed early was for the safety of the pontiff who has been in Dallas at the governor's bedside. The second of three bullets fired by Kennedy's assassin Nov. 22 passed through Connally's body broke his right wrist in two places and lodged in his right thigh.

His wrist will have to remain in a cast 90 days or more and it will be six months before doctors can tell whether he will have full use of his wrist and hand.

Kidnaped Colonel Released CARACAS Army Col. James K. Chenault, 45, of Sherman, was released unharmed Thursday by proCastro terrorists who kidnaped him at gunpoint from the doorstep of his home eight days ago. Chenault's release coincided with the capture by police of "Lt.

Col." Juan de Dios Moncada, self-styled "supreme commander" of the Venezuelan underground. The army officer told newsmen his captors tried to brainwash him by urging he read books on communism and lecturing him on its virtues. "It's a great feeling to be free again," he said. The capture of Moncada, head of the underground Armed Forces for National Liberation (FALN) was the second bodyblow suffered by the underground in as many days. Wednesday, Venezuelan troops attacked and killed 21 terrorist guerrillas in a mountain hideout in Falcon State.

A Jordanian official said "the most rigid security measures" will be in force while the pontiff visits the holy places of Jordan as a personal guest of King Hussein, a Moslem. Neither in the Israeli section of Jerusalem nor in the Jordan quarter had any official word been received from the Vatican of the pontiff's plans. Never before has a Pope visited the Holy Land although some made the journey before elevation to the papacy.

All officials knew was what has been publicly announcedthat the Pope said in Vatican City on Wednesday he would make a brief visit to the Holy Land "on behalf of peace among men," and the later Vatican statement that the trip would be made in the first 10 days of January. However, tentative plans could be based on his expressed desire to see the holy places.
