Washington apr the Bill outlawing mail order sales of guns and ammunition battered for months in House and Senate faces new danger As it nears what should have been the end of its Long trek through Congress. The measure was approved by a House Senate conference committee late tuesday but the possibility of new trouble was raised when some Senate conferees did not sign the committee report. There also were doubts that the House would accept the ban on mail order sales of All a in Muni Tion since it had exempted this category when its version of the Bill was passed. The conference Bill must be approved again in each chamber before going on to the White House. The legislation goes part Way to meet the appeals of president Johnson for tightened gun controls but does not include his request to require registration of All firearms and the licensing of owners. The assassination of sen. Robert f. Kennedy d-., in Early june touched off a renewed drive for the legislation. Training his Job a forgotten men of the Vietnam War Are military advisers such As Navy chief gunners mate Edmund Canby 44, at right who Here advises vietnamese Navy Crew Man on operation of 81 Nim mortar aboard a command boat. Advisers have been organizing and training Viet forces since 1955, Long before american troops entered conflict in 1965, House members pick up to Bill after conducting a late late show Washington apr the House fought and muddled its Way through almost 20 hours of delaying tactics before taking up today a Bill to facilitate a Hubert h. m. Nixon George c. Wallace television debate. Records and precedents fell like tenpin during the continuous Day and night struggle Between democrats Bent on passing the Bill and republicans staging the House equivalent of a filibuster. For the last 2i/2 hours of preliminaries members were physically locked in the House chamber by majority vote the first such instance Veteran members said in More than 50 years. The idea was to Block the favorite Republican delaying tactics to partly empty the Cham. Ber and then Force one Tim consuming Roll Call after another to establish a quorum. Before the motion to consider the Bill could be called up there were 36 Roll Calls by a wide margin a record for one continuous session. Thereafter republicans continued to find ways to Force Roll Calls each consuming about half an hour. The democrats had charged filibustering republicans with trying to prevent the presided tial debate and at the same time shield their candidate from blame for ducking the encounter. The Bill democrats support would allow networks to arrange the debate without giving equal time to numerous minor candidates. Republican members raised a storm of protest Over the locked doors. Some said it was an illegal use of Powers under the House rules and rep. Robert Taft jr., a Ohio said the restriction on the Freedom of the members Vio i a t e d their constitutional rights. House speaker John w. My Cor Mack said he was bound by the majority vote and insisted that the doors would remain locked until the business before the House was completed. Taft still protesting that lock ing the me milers in violated their civil liberties challenged the legality of the action by forcing his Way out of the chamber. A Burly Man he pushed through tile door when it was unlocked to permit another member to go to the rest room then brushed past two startled doormen who grabbed him belatedly and forced him to halt. Jake w. Johnson the ser Geant at Arins of the House told Taft he would have to return but the congressman refused to do so unless Johnson put him under arrest. Johnson declined to arrest him but told Taft he was in violation of the rules of the House. Taft left but later returned to the chamber. A the democratic leadership has been preventing the House from voting on these Bills for two years a he said. Mccarthy refuses to Back huh new York apr sen. Eugene j. Mccarthy has again rejected overtures that he support democratic nominee Hubert h. Humphreys presidential Campaign and close ranks in the party. The Minnesota senator in his first major political speech since he lost the nomination to Humphrey in August said tuesday night the Call for party Unity was no More acceptable to him now than when he entered the presidential race a year ago. But he left the door open for Humphrey to possibly obtain his support before the november election. Mccarthy listed three positions he said were crucial to him and his supporters and indicated he hoped the vice presi Dent would adopt them. Mccarthy spoke at a $100-a-plate fund raising dinner for new York democratic Senato rial nominee Paul of Dwyer a Vietnam War critic who has refused to endorse Humphrey. A three minute standing ova Tion greeted Mccarthy when he mounted the dais before the 1,400 persons packing the grand ballroom of the new York Hilton. Then later As he Rose to speak chants of a we want Gene we want Gene interrupted him. His fingers flicked the a for Victory sign he used steadily through the nomination Cam i pain and again he was wildly applauded. He said he began his Campaign last fall More a to raise issues than to save or Divide the democratic a we did not a he said a raise these issues to gain control. To win still Mccarthy said a the Call goes out for party Unity just As it did a year ago. A it was not acceptable then and its not any More acceptable the audience cheered. Mccarthy then listed the three conditions he thought should be met to change the direction of the democratic party a shift in Vietnam War policy a restructuring of the draft system and of the party machinery. On Vietnam Mccarthy said promises to Stop the bombing of the North As Humphrey has conditionally pledged were not enough. What is needed he said is a willingness to accept a coalition government a communist and non communist in South Vietnam. Second Mccarthy said something must be done to put fairness into the military draft system not just promises of a lottery selection method. Rather the Burden of the draft should be spread Over a the entire Pofi lations and a provision made for exemption a on the basis of conscience a Mccarthy said. Also he continued democrats must be assured that party re. Forms will be put into effect along democratic lines with a Small a a do. A we must continue to put these things before the Public a Mccarthy added. Giant Apollo rocket on launch pad Cape Kennedy Fla.
