Ike Rejects Rights Bill WASHINGTON (UP) — Republi can congressional leaders today pronounced the Senate’s civil rights bill “unacceptable” to President Eisenhower.

Moreover, he said use of the con troversial belts in all cars and trucks would cut in half the num ber of serious injuries resulting from traffic accidents. Ford Vice President Robert S. McNamara said in a statement prepared for the House traffic safety subcommittee: “It is our opinion that the Use of seat belts in all cars and trucks on the American road today would reduce the 40,000 fatalities annual ly to less than 19,000 and would reduce the 1,000,000 serious inju ries to no more than 500,000.” Belts Most Effective Alex L. Haynes, Ford advanced product study director, said in pre senting McNamara’s statement that “ tests and experience have proved beyond all reasonable doubt that seat belts are the most effective single item available in reducing traffic injuries and deaths.” “Ford Motor Company strongly recommends the use of seat belts in all cars and trucks.” he said.

Dulles told a news conference that the proposals made by him In London last week represent the most significant offer in terms of peace made in recent history, or perhaps in all history. Speaking with great feeling, Dulles said he believes world public opinion will demand accep tance of safeguards against either East or West launching a surprise attack. He said the advantages of such safeguards in terms of security, lower military budgets and other factors will be irresistible to the United States and Russia alike. Surprise Big Factor If ironclad agreements can be reached to prevent surprise at tacks, Dulles said, all nations can feel with reason that the danger of major war has receded. Dulles warned however that he is dubious about making progress on control of armaments unless agreement Is reached first to guard against surprise attack. A major war, he said, will not be started unless the aggressbc believes he can attack his ad versary with surprise. Sufficient inspection to ward off the danger of a surprise attack, the secretary said, would be a real move toward making arms reduction almost inevitable. Dulles returned from London Saturday after arranging an a greement among the North At lantic Treaty nations on a new aerial-ground inspection program. This was the proposal presented to the Russians at the London dis armament talks.

There were widespread spatter ings in a downward sweep from the northern Rockies to New Mex ico, but no heavy amounts such as those which caused flash floods in Las Vegas, N.M., early Monday Rain starting Sunday night built up a wall of water which cascaded out of the mountains and tore upper Gallinas River. Two persons, a preacher and his 10-year-old daughter were killed when the rushing waters swept away their car. Between 35 and 45 families had been forced to evac uate their homes, authorities said. The cool Canadian air front which edged southward and left only Florida and southern Texas uncovered caused nighttime tem peratures to drop to the 50s in the Great Lakes region, as well as the northern half of the Atlantic coast al area. Temperature readings in the 70s followed an “L” shaped course down the plains area east ward through the Gulf Coast. Georgia and Florida continuad to be pelted by thundershowers as *TTTey remained just out of reach of the Canadian front.

Stanley Lehrer, attorney for the Auto Glass Dealers Assn, of New j York, told the committee that his! 140 to 150 members agreed to pay Dio $25 per employe to ward off jurisdictional picketing which i could drive them out of business. Lehrer said his association — largely composed of one - man shops—capitulated to picketing in the summer of 1955 because truck drivers would not cross the picket lines to deliver the windshield glass they needed dally. He said the' association negotiat ed a contract with President Harry Reiss of Local 227, United Auto Workers AFL — a union whose New York director was Dio, convicted labor rackateer. When the negotiation was nearlly complete, Lehrer said, some of the employers asked how they could avoid being picketing by other unions which had also sought to organize them. He said Reiss told them Dio was the only man in New York who could help them. Lehrer said he talked with Dio, who said his firm. Equitable Re search Associates Corp., would prevent such jurisdictional picket ing for $2,500. He said the asso ciation agreed to pay Dio's outfit $8.33 annually for three years for each employe, including owners of one-man shops.
