EDNESDAY, MAY 13. 1964 15 NO. 134 ISM By GLOBE EWSPAPgH CO. Telephone AV 8-8000 GUIDE TO FEATURES I lie IS Am Speaker Up For Ouster Once More 4 vi I Key Deal On Rights By ANDREW J. GLASS WASHINGTON Senate Republican leader Everett M.

Dirksen, (I1L), said Tuesday that he has reached "a firm accord" with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy on a revised civil rights package. With this key agreement in hand, the GOP chieftain said he thought the Southern filibuster against the bill, now in its 10th week, could be broken by mid-June. Dirksen also announced that he would support a coming drive to gag the Southern forces, a move which requires an elusive two-thirds majority. And he withdrew his opposition to keeping the Senate talkathon in motion well past midnight.

"The stretchout," he reported, "is under way." Pro-rights Democrats who sat in on the week-long Dirksen-Kennedy talks were more reserved in their optimism. None would go as far as the GOP leader, who said: "It's all buttoned up." "We have an agreement in general," Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey the bill's floor manager, said. "And that's very conclusive." It was learned that Humphrey and Dirksen had a long, frank talk over dinner Monday night.

Their exchange helped advance the apparent legislative breakthrough. But the bi-partisan rights leadership was not yet entirely out of the woods. Even if the Dirksen-Kennedy-Humphrey deal sticks together, the coalition remained two to three votes short of being able to choke off debate by imposing cloture. RIGHTS Page 2 Workman Killed as Sub Is Launched in Portsmouth By JAMES S. DOYLE The Speaker of the Massachusetts House faces impeachment today, the second time this week.

John F. Thompson, indicted Friday on charges on bribery and conspiracy with nine finance corporations, will be given until 1 p.m. to resign by the Republican minority. He has said he will not resign, today or ever. At 1 p.m., the scheduled time for the House to be called to order, Minority Leader Sidney Q.

Curtiss will move to vacate the chair. There will follow a short debate and a rollcall. The 235 members will then be asked to put their political reputation on the line again. On Monday, a similar move was defeated, 115 to 101. Twenty-one Democrats sided with 80 Republicans in favor of vacating the chair.

The betting is that there will be even more Democrats voting to impeach Thompson today, although the Democratic leadership in the House has tried to make the question a party issue. In favor of Thompson, the argument is that he is innocent unless proved guilty in court. Against him, the argument is that no indicted man should lead the House, and if he does not voluntarily step aside he must be shoved. In the background is an intense battle for power. Majority Leader John F.

X. Davoren, who has been designated to run the House for Thompson, is locked in a fight with Rep. Cornelius Kiernan of Lowell for votes to succeed Thompson in the speakership. SPEAKER Page 4 A.

The Lodge primary drive is stalled by one question: Is Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge a real candidate for President? An attempt will be made to answer this today1 when his son, George Cabot Lodge, stands before a press conference at noon. George Lodge will say that his father will be a candidate if there is popular support for him and that an expression of this support can be made right here in Oregon in Friday's primary.

Lodge is still a front runner here. All the polls show it, but his lead is being shaved because not all Lodge supporters here are convinced that he will return from Saigon and campaign actively for the nomination. The sentiment is for Lodge, but the vote may not be unless George is able to con- vince them that his father is a ready and willing candidate. The Lodge people came in here a few days after the New Hampshire primary in March. They were riding a big win.

The early polls showed Lodge far ahead. Most gave him 40 percent or better of the Republican vote. Tuesday morning The Oregonian published a poll which showed that he has slipped to 36 percent. This still gives him a substantial lead over Gov. Nelson A.

Rockefeller at 22 percent, Sen. Barry M. Gold-water at 16 percent and Richard M. Nixon at 13 percent, but it does show that his upsurge has been halted. CIRCUIT Page 2 Quincy Mayor Straddles Transit RUSSELL NICHOLSON Murdered george p.

Delia Chiesa who is also a state representative could not tell his colleagues on the Joint Legislative Ways and Means Committee whether he was for or against the bill. It was Opponents' Day during the Committee's two-day hearing on the governor's transportation plan.

Nicholson was found in a wooded gully near the Woburn line Tuesday afternoon with two bullet holes in his head, Nicholson, 33, of 12 Sargent Somerville, apparently had been murdered elsewhere and his body then brought to Wilmington by car and dragged into the woods. Although town and state police began an immediate roundup of suspects, there were strong indications that the man they wanted most to talk with was one of the FBI's 10 most wanted men. Robert Quentin Crane, Democratic representative from Brighton, was elected Tuesday by the House and Senate to be State Treasurer about 6 hours after former Treasurer John T.

Driscoll resigned to become chairman of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority at $27,500 a year. Crane won on the second ballot, with 162 of 257 votes. The voting was secret. On the first ballot, he was only six votes short of a majority. Two of his opponents quit the race when the vote was announced.

His election leaves Ward 22 in George (Punchy) McLaughlin, who made the bigtime list last week, has reportedly had the heat on for Nicholson since 1961, when Nicholson, then on the M.D.C. force, was found in the company of two men who were charged with slaying McLaughlin's brother, Bernard, 38. Bernard's bullet-punctured body was found Oct. 31, 1961, in Charles-town's City two men were seen running from the scene. Punchy McLaughlin vowed at the time that he would avenge his brother's death, even if he died in carrying out his promise.

BLUE CROSS Knowles, director of Massa- Page 3 By HERBERT BLACK Medical Reporter Massachusetts Blue Cross subscribers, numbering half million back the people who pay the premiums.

If the hospitals win their war and force Blue Cross to include costs of free care in their reimbursements, the increase will, of course, be even greater. While Blue Cross has declared it will not make a statement before Friday on The danger is raiding such reserves is that, if an epidemic groke out or there were a disaster, Blue Cross could go broke. Investment of the reserve fund also helps to maintan rates, which have not been raised across the board since 1957. That leaves Blue Cross only one place to go to get the $10 A special legislative commission, in its report Friday, will say that it recommends that the present requirement of 40 percent of incurred losses be maintained without change. In other words, the commission is telling the Legislature it believes there should be no further using up of contingent reserves.

The rate of expenditures is rising proportionately faster each year as its members use record-setting benefits. Blue Cross has only two places to turn for more money. It has contingent reserves ob about $37 million that are required by state law as a safety factor. This is less than 40 percent of incurred losses during a calendar year. the population of the state, face an almost certain $10 million increase in premiums by the end of the year.

This seems Inevitable even if hospitals -lose their war to force Blue Cross to help pay the costs of free care. Last year Blue Cross had a net loss of $6 million, and the projected loss for 1964 is seen as $10 million. Over the last three years Blue Cross used up a rate stabilization reserve of $18 million to meet losses without raising premiums. fire Dia C-l "I Daily Double Closet 7 TOUBS TO THI ii i in ii Colonial LUHliiJA WORLD'S FAIR I SvliO 1 thousands OPTO COST! of fRi Of FREE SEATS Interest begins in.np.it MORI fREt PARKING What Is It?
