Filibuster Possible In Senate Fight WASHINGTON (AP) A bill proposing repeal of federal taxes on local telephone service, telegrams and travel faces a hot debate and a possible filibuster today in the Senate. A row over the measure erupted Friday night. It kept the Senate in session past midnight and drew warnings it could upset plans for adjournment of Congress before the July 11 start of the Democratic national convention in Los Angeles. The repeal provisions would bring a federal revenue loss estimated at 752 million dollars.

The Senate Finance Committee had hooked them onto a bill requested by President Eisenhower seeking a year's extension of four billion dollars worth of various other taxes and another increase in the limit on the national debt. The dispute apparently meant a postponement until next week of a Senate vote on ratification of the security treaty with Japan. Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pai led and lost a fight to block the Senate leaders' plans to bring the disputed tax bill before the chamber today.

Clark protested that he and others were being rushed, ill prepared, into the fight by the leaders' refusal to postpone the debate. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson tD-Tex) fired some caustic blasts at senators he said believe they know his job better than he does. He forced the issue, and by a top-heavy vote the Senate backed his motion, to make the tax bill its pending business.

Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. Anderson reportedly has warned Congress that President Eisenhower will veto the tax bill if any revenue reducing provisions are added to it. Despite Anderson's warning, the Finance Committee approved the travel tax repeal amendment to cessed for the weekend. Court rebecome effective Aug. 1, and the sumes Monday afternoon HINSDALE.

N.H. A power outage caused by a damaged insulator on the peninsula in Connecticut River below the village plunged the town in darkness for 53 minutes last night. Emergency lighting systems were put into operation at the Hinsdale Raceway where hundreds had gathered for the nightly event and at the town hall where the Hinsdale High School class of '60 was holding its reception and prom. Bernard Gallagher, manager of the Winchester o'fice of the Public Service Co. of New Hampshire, said that the insulator either as struck by lightning or had explod- ed as the result of accumulaUon of water in a brief but heaK storm.

Fragments ot the insulator were found scattered in the peninsula area, indicating that there had been some type of explosion. A crew sent from Keene made emergency repairs and service was restored about 11:45. The storm also created a headache for the police department, which had men on duty at Waites Corner until 1 a.m., unsnarling! Brattleboro-bound traffic from the raceway. The rain had formed small lakes on that part of the highway under construction and only one lane was usable. Unperturbed by a brief interruption of their festivities, the high school prom trotters danced by dim emergency lights as Dick Perry's orchestra from Brattleboro played without benefit of music scores.

government will consult with Japan before deploying forces from Japan or bringing in new armament. Provisions in the earlier treaty for use of U. S. forces in quelling internal disturbances in Japan are removed The provisions were intended to meet complaints of leftists, oriented either toward neutrality or the Communist bloc, that' the old treaty was unfair and imposed on Japan by the American occupation. With passage of the midnight deadline, the only question is whether the government can end the chaos created by the rioting.

Ratification by the U. S. Senate and an exchange of ratification documents in Tokyo perhaps June 27 or 28 will make the new alliance effective.

VITAL STATISTICS LGS (Continue from Page One) By The Associated Press A line of thunderstorms, pushed by 'chill Canadian air, moved through the Plains States today, but the violent storm activity that has raked the East with hail and rain appeared to ease. Thunderstorm activity was reported from western Kansas northeastward into the upper Mis-sippi Valley, but precipitation was light. A tornado caused minor property damage bi no injuries early today near Grand Island, the Weather Bureau reported. Behind the storm line tempera- tures dropped sharply. Readings in the 40s were recorded in such widely scattered areas as the San Francisco Bay region, northern Montana and the Great Lakes.

Mullan, Idaho, reported 40 degrees, Pellston and Sault Ste. Marie, each registered 42 degrees. Elsewhere, readings were generally in the 60s and 70s. An earlier cold front that dropped temperatures as low as 39 in the Midwest Friday had reached the East today, still causing some rain fall in the Northeast. At Binghamton, in south-central New York, a violent electrical storm Friday unloosed a torrential rain and caused damage that may run to more than a million dollars.

U.S. Looks to Jap Elections They May Clear Riot-Torn Air WASHINGTON (AP)-U officials say they expect new general elections in Japan to come as soon as possible after fin- ratification of the revised U.S.-Japan security treaty.

Such elections 'll clear the air after month-long leftist demonstrations and riots against the treaty. Premier Nobusuke Kishi and the scheduled visit of President Eisenhower, authoritative sources said. Most observers here feel, that Kishi will step down, dissolve the Diet and call for new elections once he achieves his major goal-bringing the new security pact into force. The treaty will be automatically ratified by Japan Sunday, Japan time a few minutes after 10 a m. EST, today) if the Diet continues in session.

Ratification by the U.S. Senate is expected to follow early next week, possibly Monday. Responsible observers here predict another conservative victory in the Japanese general election. A caretaker government, perhaps headed by elder statesman Shigeru Yoshida, probably would lead the country while it prepares for new elections.

N.Y. (AP) Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller has charged that Democratic bickering Is stalling the progress of civil rights. The Republican governor told a Negro Baptist Congress Friday night that the cause of racial equality has been advanced more In eight years of the Eisenhower administration than at any other time since the Civil War.

Rockefeller, openly at odds with the administration on some key Issues, confined his criticism to the Democrats and made no mention of presidential politics. His speech was described as one of a series in which he intends to give his views on major problems. Rockefeller pictured the Democrats aa "hopelessly divided and 'earful" on civil rights and called for an expanded federal program to speed Integration.
