WASHINGTON-Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) yesterday over-
ruled a Republican effort to suspend a Senate investigation of price
fling inthe electrical equipment industry. He denied that the hearings
would become a three-ring circus at the expense of an already
punished industry.
But the argument which arose between Keauver, chairman of
Subcommittee, and Sen. Alexander

the start of testimony by officials

Assembly Refuses
To Call for Boycott
UNITED NATIONS (P) - The
United Nations General Assembly
yesterday asked all nations to con-
sider separate and collective action
to compel South Africa to aban-
don its white supremacy policies.
But the assembly refused to ap-
prove specific demals for a
world-wide economic and diplo-
matic boycott.
Urges Measures
By a vote of 95-1 the assembly
adopted an Asian resolution rap-
ping South Africa for its policy of
apartheid' and urged unspecified
measures.
Only Portugal voted against it.
Nepal, Spain and South Africa-
which have boycotted the apar-
theid debate-were absent.
The assembly killed the harsher
resolution pushed by African na-
tions by rejecting the key para-
graph spelling out penalties to be
considered against South Africa.
The vote was 42-34 with 21 ab-
stainingA two-thirds majority
was required.
U.S. Disapproves
The United States was among
those refusing to approve such
punitive action as the closing of
all world ports to South African
ships and a boycott of all South
African goods.
As a result, Ghana's ambassador
Alex-Quaison-Sackey withdrew the
resolution and it was not put to a
vote.
The assembly 'approved also by
78-0, with two abstentions, a reso-
lution urging South Africa to con-
sut with India and Pakistan on
treatment of persons of Indiani
and Pakistani origin in South Af-
rica. Like apartheid, this has been
a long-standing issue before the
UN.
Kennedy Asks
streamlining
Of Agencies
WASHINGTON () - PresidentI
John F. Kennedy asked Congresst
yesterday to whip the federal reg-
ulatory agencies into streamlinede
shape, and singled out the Fed-
eral Power Commission for the
biggest overhaul.
Except for the FPC, Kennedy's .
proposals were broad and general
in dealing with the agencies .
In the case of the FPC,, Ken-1
nedy asked Congress (1) to in-
crease the number of commission-i
ers from five to seven, (2) to breakc
up a logjam of cases by exempt-
ing small natural gas producersf
and some pipeline constructiona
from jurisdiction, and (3) to passr
legislation designed to protect thes
gas consumer.
In a special message to Con-
gress Kennedy said faster actionv
by the FPCson some constructionn
permits would mean more jobs for o
the unemployed.
Kennedy said efforts were un- b
derway to improve coordination inn
the fields of broadcasting and sur-
face transportation.a
Portuguese
Alert Army
LISBON, Portugal ()-Ail Por-
tuguese security and army forces
were called to stand by last night
in a "state of prevention," fol-
lowing Premier Antonio De Oli-
veira Salazar's seizure of control
over the defense ministry and
sweeping overhaul of the armed
forces and overseas ministries.
In a broadcast, the premier said
there would be an even bigger
change in the government in or-
der to defend the African terri-
tory of Angola.
New Massacres
Portugal, aware of new mas-
sacres and unrest in Angola and
of demands of exiles abroad for
democratic reforms in the govern-
ment, was alive with rumors.
During a state of prevention,
troops are confined to their bar-
racks but there are no restrictions
on civilians. An official described
the state of prevention as an or-
dinary precautionary measure.
Demand Change
Gen. Julio Botelho Moniz, the
dismissed defense minister, was
reported tohave headed a group
of high ranking officers who were
demanding changes in the na-
tion's overseas and home policies.
Salazar's overhaul follows wide-
spread violence in West African
Angola, which the government
considers an integral part of Por-
tugal, and the seizure of the Por-
tuguese ship Santa Maria in Jan-
uary by rebel Capt. Henrique Gal-
vao.
Senate Studies
Wage Hike Bill
WASHINGTON () - President
John F. Kennedy's minimum wage
measure moved to the 'Senate
floor yesterday and promptlyran
into a brisk crossfire from south-
ern Democrats and conservative
Republicans.
Administration leaders remain-
ed confident they have the votes
to put over their proposal to
boost the minimum wage from $1
to $1.25 an hour and extend cov-
erage to about four million work-
ers, mostly in the larger retail
stores, service industries and con-
struction.
But it seemed unlikely there
would be a final vote until after
extended debate and many efforts
to narrow down the White House
program.
The House already has passed a
measure put across by joint action
of Southern Democrate and con-
servative Republicans. This calls
for raising the wage floor to $1.15
and extending coverage to 1.2
million workers, all in chain
stores. The present law applies to
about 24 million emplyes.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY)
won voice approval for an amend-
ment to require a study of wages
of non-tipped hotel, motel and
restaurant employes not covered
by thepresent law or pending
measures.
This was approved with only
about half a dozen senators on the
floor after Sen. Pat McNamara
(D-Mich), floor manager for the
bill, said he had no objections
Social Legislation
Faces House Vote
WASHINGTON (P)-Legislation
to permit optional retirement for
men at 62 and carry out most of
President John F. Kennedy's other
social security proposals was clear-
ed yesterday for House vote.
House Democratic leader John
W. McCormack of Massachusetts
said the bill will be brought up for
action next Wednesday.
The Democratic-sponsored bill,
scaled down somewhat from the
draft Kennedy sent Congress,
vould, finance the changes in the
social security system by a social
security tax increase of one-
eighth of one per cent on em-
iloyers and the same amount on
employes.
