PRICE-FIXING HEARINGS: Vinson Contradicts Other T WASHINGTON (MF-Arthur F. Vinson, vice-president of General Electric, yesterday denied testi- mony that he had ordered illegal meetings to fix prices., "Somebody is crazy or some- body is lying," Sen. Philip A. Hart (D-Mich) answered him. And Sen. Estes Kefauver (D- Tenn), chairman of the Senate antitrust and monopoly subcom- mittee, said a transcript of the conflicting testimony by Vinson and four other witnesses would be sent to the Justice Depart- ment. There, Kefauver said, it would be "examined for the possibility of perjury." In previous hearings, four wit- nesses, all fired by GE for tak- ing part in price fixing meetings, testified that Vinson, at a lunch- eon in Philadelphia in 1958, had directed that GE representatives meet with competitors to fix prices. But Vinson told the subcommit- tee yesterday: "There was no such luncheon as has been described." In fact, Vinson continued, until recent scandals broke, he had nev- er heard of any collusion by a GE employe in his 30 years with the company.

New Rocket Investigates Outer Space CAPE CANAVERAL OP') - The United States yesterday fired into orbit the world's first astronomi- cal satellite-a "space telescope" designed to unlocq mysteries of cosmic radiation. The satellite is the thirty-ninth put in orbit by United States sci-' entists since Explorer I hurtled aloft 39 months ago. A four-stage Juno II rocket blasted the 95-pound telescope in- to an orbit ranging from about 300 to 750 miles above the earth. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration named the high- flying observatory Explorer XI. About 250 newsmen, the great- est number since the early Ameri- can space efforts, witnessed the launching. Most are here to cover the attempt to send a human as- tronaut on a 115-mile-high sub- orbital space ride, expected next Thursday. The mission of the seven and one-half-foot telescope was to peer into millions of miles of space in a search for gamma rays - high - energy radiation which streams out from cosmic sources. Scientists believe these rays may be the keys to information about the elements which make up the universe. WASHINGTON () -- President John F. Kennedy asked Congress yesterday to join him in laying down clear guidelines against cor- ruption in government. He called for regulations to "punish venality and double-deal- ing, and set a general ethical tone for the conduct of public business." In a special message to the House and Senate, Kennedy said venal conduct by public officials in this country has been compar- atively rare, but he added: Conditions Change "Nevertheless, in the past two decades, incidents have occurred to remind us that the'laws and regulations governing ethics in government are not adequate to the changed role of the federal government, or to the changing conditions of our society." Kennedy made no specific allu- sion to any of the investigations involving influence peddling and other scandals which have en- livened congressional hearings during the period he mentioned. The President noted that con- flict of interest laws date back 100 years or more. He said recent studies have recommended that "our outmoded and hodge-podge collection of statutes and regula- tions be amended, revised and World News Roundup By The Associated Press LONDON-Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip will begin their long delayed West African tour in Ghana Nov. 10, Buckingham Pal- ace announced last night. The royal couple are to visit Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia and Liberia on the month-long visit. The West African tour originally was scheduled for the fall of 1959, but was postponed because the Queen was then expecting her third child.

Executive Order The President said he is taking these actions by executive order, and asked Congress to add to his program: 1) Gifts to government person- nel are prohibited whenever it ap- pears they are designed to influ- ence official conduct. Church Group Hears Request BUCK HILL FALLS, Pa. (P') - Word that the Holy Russian Or- thodox Church wants to join the World Council of Churches yes- terday stirred mixed reaction from American Christian leaders. The surprise announcement of the application by the Russian church, which for decades has stood aloof from the rest of Christendom, came at a meeting here of the council's United States conference. 2) Government employes are prohibited from using official in- formation for private gain, such as for speculating in the stock market. 'Subtle Extortion' 3) No government employe may use for position to engage in "the subtler forms of extortion" by seeking favors from someone whose interests may be affected by ac- tions of the employe or his agen- cy. 4) No government employe should engage in outside employ- ment which is incompatible with his government work. 5) Orders will be issued regu- lating in detail the conduct of presidential appointees. "These high level officials owe a special responsibility to the government and to the employes of their de- partments to set a high standard of ethical and moral behavior," Kennedy said. 6) Governmentwide standards will be applied to the retention of property or stocks by appoin- tees in the executive branch. 1 U WANTS CONGRESS TO ACT: President Asks Ethics Laws SIKESTON, Mo.-A racially mixed group of members of the Congress of Racial Equality were arrested here for "peace disturb- ance" in a restaurant April 22 __ while participating in an inter- state bus trip.
