Five bills were presented Tuesday for introduction in the two houses, and all of them plus those turned in today were to be assigned to committees. Following Gov. George Clyde's State of the State address Tuesday the House got a slight jump on the Senate by spending the afternoon in session. Senators decided to take a break until this afternoon. The Democrats, with Minority Leader Ernest Dean as spokesman, . managed to delay approval of the joint rules changes and the House rules changes until today. Dean held an early caucus today to discuss the rules and other par- pre-filin- ty matters.

Soon after Khrushchev's speech, American newsmen were ordered from the hall and informed they would not be permitted. to attend: any further sessions. This means they will have to cover any reply by the Communist Chinese by state radio and Communist news agency reports. The Chinese are expected to reply to Khrushchev in a speech Thursday. In a address to the East German Communist party congress in East Berlin, the Soviet leader warned there can be no East-Wedisarmament agreement until the Berlin and German issues are settled. But he refrained from any new ultimatum or deadline to the West. Khrushchev added a grim note when he said the United States "now has roughly 40,000 hydrogen bombs and warheads." He said the Soviet Union also "has more than enough of this stuff." But he said the Soviet Union has the biggest bomb of all a nuclear bomb and implied it would be used only on the United States if necessary. "Such a bomb should not be Used in Europe,"' he said- - "Such measures could only be used out-si- d Western Europe." Wants Peace on Earth ' He called for a peaceful solution to East-Weproblems, saying 'iWe do not want a kingdom in heaven we want a beautiful empire a earth." "Frr that reason we act with a sense of responsibility. We do not want war. But if one is forced on us, we shall hit back." Khrushchev reviewed at length the 'economic progress made by Soviet Russia and said it already is pressing the United States hard in this field. He said when the Bolshevists took power, Russia was economically far behind other European countries and the United States. v, "Today the Soviet Union is a socialist great power that has long overtaken the other European countries in the level of its industrial production and is already treading on the heels of such a : . 1 NikitaTalk - if- two-hou- r, Carried No 35-min- st 'Surprises' U.S. (UPI) officials today assessed Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's East Berlin speech as a major effort to convince the Communist parties of the world of the wisdom of his policy of "peaceful coexistence"' as opposed to Red China's demand for more warlike strategy against the West.

Dirksen Set To Sidetrack Gag Rule Fight WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen served notice today he is prepared to try to sidetrack the Senate's antifilibuster rule controversy next week. The Illinois Republican, with announced concurrence by one liberal GOP member who favors tightening the gag rule, told the Senate he thinks one week is enough to debate the issue. Dirksen at the same time said he is "against all these proposals" to revise the present filibuster rule and would be content to let things stand as they are. He indicated a vote as early as. Monday, might be tried. Dirksen reminded the Senate of the recent death of Sen. Robert S. from a sudden Kerr, heart attack. He pleaded for consideration for the health of members and avoidance of long sessions. The senator made it clear to newsmen later that he will confer with Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., on timing of a showdown on the three pending rule change proposals. Mansfield will vote for a middle - ground amendment which would let three fifths of the senators voting, or 60 members, apply cloture, gag rule. Earlier, Sen. Richard B. Russell, said he would try to block other major business temporarily while the Senate is tied up in the liberal drive to modify the antifilibuster rule. a., D-G-a.f Now You Know The first settlers in America did not live in. log cabins.
