r. 2 THE NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN, Wednesday. Aug. 19. 1964 LBJ, Democratic 'Insure Racial Peace' LBJ Says Governors To Meet Meat Imports Face Quotas Senate, House Pass Measure To Hold Rate 15 Pet.

Below '63 Australia. New Zealand, Ireland porters to his office for an Impromptu news conerence. THE PRESIDENT said all SI Democratic governors have been invited to a working session at the White House Saturday afternoon and "to stay with us for dinner that night, if they can." (Eddie Jones, press secretary for Gov. Frank Clement, said here yesterday that Gov. Clement has received an invitation to the White House conference but has not as yet determined whether he will be able to attend.

governor has a number of things that have gotten his weekend schedule jammed up, and as of now his plans are indefinite." Jones said. "However, I expect he will be able to say Thursday whether or not he will be able to attend the Saying "There is much we will talk about." Johnson enumerated WASHINGTON UP) Presi dent Johnson will meet Saturday with the nation's Demo cratic governors to talk about affairs of state and, without much doubt, election year poll tics. Before, he does that, however, Johnson will take a bipartisan stance toniqht and entertain al members of Congress Demo crats and Republicans to thank them personally for passing major administration programs. These include the Civil Rights Bill, the tax cut and antipov erty legislation. Johnson announced the two affairs after summoning re Senate Kills Debate Hopes WASHINGTON i.T) The Sen ate killed off the last hope for televised presidential candidate debates this year by shelving last night a measure to suspend equal time provisions of the communications act.

The vote was 44 to 41. The Democrats rolled up a party-line majority to defeat a compromise bill which would have permitted television debates between President John son and Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. SEN. NORRIS Cotton, charged that the Democrats were acting on "orders from high up to junk this bill from the campaign. Cotton said the bill did not re quire a confrontation Detween the two candidates since "all tne President has to do is say no." "Why should we kill this bill imply to save the President of the United States from having to say yes or no?" he asked.

Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa. charged that "somebody decided It was better to be chicken than strong and forthright about It." THE SENATE'S action was signaled earlier when Mansfield said after a Senate Democratic policy committee meeting he expected to bring the TV-debate legislation before the Senate later in the day. He said then that "there will be a tabling motion" and other policy committee members said Mansfield would as he did make the motion. The tactic, it was widely pre sumed, was decided upon at a White House conference oi President Johnson and Demo cratic congressional leaders yesterday morning.

The chief execu- Sutton Witness (Continued From Page One) Reject Rioters (Continued From Page One) Act." Chancellor Heard said following the conference. PRESIDENT Johnson told the committee members "a time has come to cease telling ourselves WASHINGTON LV) The House and Senate in quick succession passed and sent to the White House yesterday a com promise bill designed to keep imports of beef, veal and mutton 15 per cent below last year's rec ord high level. There was opposition In both chambers by some Democrats and Republicans who protested that the bill would boost prices of hamburger and other cheap meats. Supporters argued it would help restore slumping prices at the beef producer leve without raising prices unreason ably for the consumer.

The Senate-House compro mise was passed by a 232-149 House vote. Then the Senate adopted it by voice vote after several senators criticized the State Department's opposition as "too much interference In do-mestie legislation." THE MEATS coming from lax Feedback Plank Seen WASHINGTON UP) Democratic platform pledges of excise tax reduction next year, income tajt cuts later, and possibly an eventual "generous" feedback of federal revenues to the states were foreshadowed by top administration officials yesterday. In testimony to the Democratic Platform Committee, Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon Chairman Walter W. Heller of the President's council of economics advisers gave a go-ahead, in effect, to planks matching the liberal tax-cut promises of the Republican party. The rosy prospect of tax relief was based on rising revenues from the record prosperity which In 3' years.

Heller proclaimed, See editorials, "Platform Isn't Too Long If It Is Clear, Specific" and "Strong Plank on TVA Needed," page 12. has built "the strongest economic base any nation has ever had for the fulfillment of its goals and aspirations." THE 102 delegates drafting a platform for approval at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, N.J., next week, listened with interest and obvious approval as they were told: By Dillon that "next year Is the time" for a congressional review and action on the whole excise tax structure, with reduction or elimination of some of the sales levies. The Treasury will be ready with recommendations next session, he announced By Dillon again, that fur ther reduction in income taxes, beyond the $11.5 billion general tax reduction of this year, should be possible in the years ahead. By Heller, that the government should consider "declaring a dividend to the American people" out of the prospective $6-billion average yearly Increase in federal tax collections. This might take the form of further tax reduction or enlarged federal investment in growth stimulating programs, the White House economists said, but he added thin third suggestion to insure racial peace.

ville meeting was for the purpose of discussing "bumper stickers for Sutton's campaign" for sheriff of Lawrence County. The Secret Service agent also confirmed, under cross-examina tion, that he had received a letter front Sutton's attorneys saying the defendant was offering to take a lie detpctor or truth serum test at his own expense. He confirmed, too, that no such test was ever conducted. THE TRIAL Is scheduled to reconvene before U.S. Dist.

Judge Clarence Allgood at 9 a.m. todav with further cross-examination of Doster. The prosecution indicated yesterday it. has more witnesses to bring to the stand before the defense begins presentation of its side of the case. Attorneys indicated yesterday the case will go to the jury tomorrow.

The government tried to show that the bill was passed on a day when Sutton visited Milam in nearby Birmingham. Secret Service Agent Doster, of Nashville, said he talked with Sutton twice both conversations coming after Sutton's brother was linked with the passing of counterfeit bills. Doster said Sutton told him "Milam was the source of the notes." Sutton confirmed he met in Knoxville with Smith and Milam, but that the conversation was about "bumper stickers." and that Milam gave him $300 as a campaign contribution, Doster said. Doster said Sutton, in their first interview, offered his services to help track down the source of the counterfeit bill. The agent testified under cross examination that Sutton later offered to take a lie detector test.

U.S. Treasurer Falls, Fractures Knee, Elbow WASHINGTON (JP) Kathryn O'Hay Granahan, U.S. treasurer, fell yesterday in a radio studio and suffered fractures of the knee and elbow. Treasury officials said she was hospitalized, and her con dition was reported as satis factory. ment against the six defendants.

four of whom have pleaded guilty. Pat Sutton is charged in three counts. Bedford County farmer Chaney Bobo, a neighbor of Henry Sutton, testified Henry gave him a bogus $50 bill to pay for $27.33 worth of work Bobo had done on Sutton's farm. Bobo said he wrote a personal check for the difference and that Henry Sutton's wife later had repaid him the $50 loss. William C.

Mittwede, owner of Mittwede's Super Market in Shelby ville, testified that Henry Sutton attempted in July, 1962 to pay a grocery bill at Mittwede's market with a $50 Federal Reserve note that Mittwede said he recognized as counterfeit. THE GROCER said he told Mrs. Sarah Christine, a cashier at the market, not to accept the bill. Mrs. Christine and Mittwede each testified that Sutton had then left the market without taking the groceries or paying for them.

The prosecution attempted to pile up proof on one count of Sheriff Sutton's indictment that he had passed a bad $50 bill in the store in which Mrs. Moore works. The store is at Huey-town, near Birmingham. Mrs. Moore pointed out Sutton as the man who gave her a counterfeit $50 bill In June, 1962, to pay for more than $20 worth of groceries.

Defense attorney Maurice Bishop, in cross-examination, tried to prove Mrs. Moore did not recognize Sutton until he was pointed out to her by government agents. HOOKER, on cross-examination, asked Paul B. Doster, special agent-in-charge of the Secret Service in Nashville, if Sut- jton had cooperated fully with authorities after his arrest and had, in fact, given them leads they might not otherwise have gotten. "Tes," Doster replied.

Doster laid Sutton had told him "Milam was the source of the (counterfeit) notes," and that Sutton confirmed he met with Smith and Milam in Knox, ville. He said, however, that Sutton had told him the Knox- an array or oruciai concerns: The impact of federal programs on state economics, me oppor tunities for the states to take advantage of new legislation and the general problem of federal-state relations. AND HE HINTED politics certainly will play a part in thn discussion, being held just two days before the Aug. 24 opening of the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, N.J. Johnson did this bv reminding newsmen that several governors and mavors have been his week end guests recently.

And ha said, without prodding, that they talked about politics as well as governmental problems. Asked what kind of election day prognosis his visitors hsd conveyed to him. Johnson said he did not think it was the time to go Into details. But he added: "Tt is ffood." ADVERTISEMENT Doctors Trim 8 Inches OH Flabby Waists!

But these countries voluntarily cut nacK their sales to America and began sending more meat to Europe. Because the imports are run ning 25 per cent under last year a level, U.S.

officials say they expect there never will be any need to impose quotas. Nor, How They Voted WASHINGTON UP) The Tennessee congressional delegation voted unanimously yesterday for a bill setting up meat import quotas. The House approved the bill 232-149. Voting for the hill were Tennessee Democratic Heps. Bass, Davis, Everett, Evins.

Fulton and Murray, and Republican Reps. Baker, Brock and Quil-len. they say, will there be need to cancel the voluntary agreements holding down meat imports. The bill as passed originally by the Senate had been strongly opposed by the State and Agri culture Departments as too restrictive. But State Department officials said yesterday they can live with the compromise measure although they would prefer no mandatory quotas.

THE COMPROMISE version, in contrast to the original Senate measure, would not immediately impose quotas. It would restrict Imports of beef, veal and mutton but not lamb starting in I9t5 lr the secretary of agriculture determined imports were rising above specified levels measured by a complicated formula. Excluded are canned and cured beef from Argentina and Uruguay. Keating To Run Independently NEW YORK l.T') Republican Sen. Kenneth B.

Keating said yesterday he will seek re-election independently of the national ticket headed by Sen. Barry Goldwater. Keating told a news conference that "I cannot in good con science conceal my convictions behind a facade of conformity disguised as unity." He said he did not intend to pay lip service. The senator's independent stand made it virtually certain that he would be opposed by Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, author, one-time diplomat and former congresswoman, as the candidate of the Conservative Party.

U.S. ATTY. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy has strong backing for the Democratic nomination, to be determined Tuesday.

The white-haired Keating, 64, told more than 100 newsmen at the Overseas Press Club: "I stated right after the Republican National Convention that as far as my own political future is concerned, the maintenance of the principles which have always guided me in public life is more important than elec tion to public office." PULLEYS MILL Governors of the four states recently met with President Johnson and other federal authorities in an effort to gain ap proval or tne Bridge and interstate route.

IN NEW YORK, Turkey warned it would act again to protect Turkish Cypriots if they were attacked by Greek Cyp riots. The warning was in a message from Turkish Premier Ismct Inonu to other heads of government made public by Turkey's U.N. delegation.

In Ottawa, Foreign Secretary Paul Martin said Canada in formed both Turkey and Greece that their Canadian-built Sabre Jet fighters must not be used in any Cyprus operations. He told commons that Canada had supplied Greece and Turkey with 107 Sabres each under NATO'f military assistance program but on condition that the planes be used to strengthen the alliance. The U.N. statement on the blockade issue referred particularly to Nicosia, Ktima, Kok-kina, Lefka and Limnitei areas of the biggest Turkish Cypriot population. Dispatches from abroad told, of these developments: High naval sources In Is kenderun, Turkey, announced Turkish warships and warplanes have begun another military exercise in the Mediterranean off Cyprus.
