Dirksen Washington (AP)--A Negro leader publicly lobbied Sen. Everett M. Dirksen yesterday-even called for prayers for him--but failed to swing the Republican leader behind the public accommodations section of the Kennedy civil rights bill.

In his famous musical tones, the Illinois senator said he would stick to the principles "I learned at my mother's that he would carry out his oath to defend the Constitution according to his rights. Therefore 1 Dirksen said, he is supporting seven sections of President Kennedy's bill but not highly-controversial eighth--the one banning discrimination in public accommodations such as restaurants, hotels and theaters. On that Dirksen favors a voluntary approach. After a dramatic dialogue in a Senate hearing room, the ro leader, Clarence Mitchell, Washington representative of National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, newsmen: "I haven't given up on Sen.

Dirksen. I feel we've got to go to Illinois and arouse the leople he cares about." The confrontation was an offshoot of a civil rights strategy conference sponsored by the NAACP. The aim of this three- day meeting is to members of Congress and think up improved methods of build- ng grass roots sentiment for civil rights legislation. Yesterday afternoon, NAACP delegates split up, a Republican iroup going to Capitol Hill to lear Republican senators talk, and a Democratic contingent istening to senators of their party. Mostly these speakers favored broad civil rights legisla- ion.

The three-day effort here is separate from the big march on Washington being organized for Aug. 28 by Negro and white lackers of civil rights legislation.
