CIVIL RICHT An attempt to et a two-da y arm i stice in the Senate•s Civ i l Ri h ts battle failed today - on the objection of Senator W ayne ~o rse of Ore on. Hie objection came after all factions in t h e Civil Rights battle had consented to setting the measure a ~i de tomorrow and Thureday so the Senate could act on the huge detenee money b111 and other ur g ent matters. Democratic Leader Lyndon Johneon, of Texae, had sought una imoue consent to sidetrack the Civil Rights Bill and Moree 1 s lone objection wae sufficient to block the plan. Moree declared that no legislation Johnson listed for action wae more pressing than the Civil Rights Bill.

There are some 175 bills backed u p on the Senate calendar - piled up during these last three week• while the civil rights battle has raged. And today, politics rearing its ugly head - an i ■ plied charge by the Veaocratic leader in the Senate, Lyndon Johnson, that his opposite nuaber, the lepublican leader, Bill Inowland, is playing for presidential votea. Knowland had said his pro-civil rights forces would stay in Washington all winter to fight through the administration p roposal. Johnson, fro ■ Texas, says that js just a hob-goblin - and that an effective bill can be pass d if_ as he put it - we a p eal to the be s t in men.

A machine roae straight up in front of the Pentagoa on a searing jet blaat, cliabed rapidly and flew into the clouds. It was the •Vctijet,• an experiaental craft s onsored by the air force and the Navy. Then it followed the route of the final acceptance flight of the first military aircraft, flown by the Wright Brothers this same day in July - but 48 years ago. That flignt fro ■ fort Meyer, Va., over Alexandria and back made military history. Today'• ascent by a jet plane from a standing start did too_ in the presence of members of the joint Chiefs Ol Staff and air officials of all the military services. ► VERTIJET - 2 - The "Vertijet,• manufactured by Byan Aeronautical Co., was flown by the company's ~hie£ Engineering test p ilot, f eter F. Girard. He took off from a contra p tion that looked so ■ething like a hat-rack. Under the nose of the plane, which when in level flight look1 like a odern fighter plane, is a ■ etal hook. Giard started with the hook over. a aetal rack at the top of a aobile platfora. Turning on full jet p ower, Girard blasted off the platfor■, alowlJ backed his machine away, turned slowly, then gave it another p ush of p ower and took off at high speed. Upon nis return, Girard turned the aircraft'• nose u p ward and slid down, then in that vertical position moved slowly toward the platfor■ and hooked back onto the rack.
