r To End
Moscow Ties
In Europe
WASHINGTON (P)-The Senate
voted, 43-36, yesterday to grant
President John F. Kennedy wide
authority to aid Eastern European
countries whenever he thinks it
would help break their, ties with
Moscow.
It did so over vehement protests
of a minority who argued that
any aid intended for the people
would, in the end, be gulped up
by puppet Communist govern-
ments. This would tighten the
Russians' dictatorial grip rather
than loosen it, the opponents said.
Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC)
called it an example of "the
naivete of the self-styled humani-
tarians-whom I prefer to call
misguided radicals." Hesaid when
the "United !States sent wheat to
Poland a few years ago all it did
was "alleviate the economic
strain" on the Kremlin.
The legislation, which now goes
to an uncertain fate in the House,
would amend the Battle Act which
places tight curbs on any assist-
ance to a country which ships
strategic materials to Russia and
Communist countries, including
Red China.
Sen. J. William Fulbright (D-
Ark), asking passage, said Ken-
nedy's only immediately planned
use of the authority is to lend
back to Poland American-held Po-
lish currency obtained through the
sale 'of surplus farm commodities
to that government.
"It is expected that Poland
and the United States will agree
over a period of time to use this
Polish currency in the field of
health, education and community
facilities," Fulbright, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, told the Senate.
Green Seeks
Cuban Talks
GENEVA (P)-Canada's Foreign
Minister said yesterday his coun-
try is ready to mediate between
the United States and Cuba when
the dust settles over that bitter
feud.
Howard C. Green discussed. the
Cuban situation with Secretary of
State Dean Rusk in Oslo Tuesday.
He indicated Mexico and Brazil
are also interested in placing their
good offices at the disposal of
Washington and Havana.
The foreign minister added
Canada, with British encourage-
ment, is thinking of joining the
Orgiinization of American States
(OAS) in the hope of playing a
more active role in the affairs of
the Western Hemisphere.
During private sessions, Green
criticized the United States for its
publicly stated unwillingness to
negotiate with the regime of Fidel
Castro. But he also expressed con-
cern at the ever-developing pro-
Soviet orientation of Cuba.
"The more Cuba is pushed the
greater becomes her reliance on
the Soviet bloc. Of course Canada
is farther away from Cuba than
the United States and so it's eas-
ier for us to seem more dispas-
sionate. But we would hope to be
able to solve this problem when
the situation slows down and eases
a bit," he said.
Kennedy Asks
Delinquency
Program Aid
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- President
John F. Kennedy asked Congress
yesterday to declare a five-year
federal war on juvenile delinquen-
cy.
He said offenses by youth "di-
minish the strength and the vital-
ity of our nation."
Primarily his $10 million legis-
lation would help "those dedicat-
ed persons in local communities
throughout the nation who are
striving in many ways to create
social conditions" that choke off
juvenile delinquency, Kennedy
said.
The bill would provide for
grants to state and* community
agencies to aid [n the evaluation
of techniques for controlling de-
linquency.
GOVERNMENT REPORT:
Factory Employment
Shows Improvement
WASHINGTON () - Employ-
ment on factory assembly lines.
began to show some small but
encouraging improvement in Ap-
ril.
The government also reported
yesterday that the factory work
week-one of the most closely
watched economic indicators -
rose again in April.
The work week increase was
only 6 minutes to an average 39.2
hours a week but it represented a
full half hour rise since January.
Seymour Wolfbein, Labor De-
partment manpower chief, said
Johnson Pledges
Aid to Viet Nam
SAIGON, South Viet Nam RP'-
Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson
worried the police but tickled the
fancy of cheering, flag-waving
crowds of Vietnamese who wel-
comed him to Southeast Asia yes-
terday.
The Vice-President brought a
cheering promise that President
John F. Kennedy is determined to
give South Viet Nam powerful sup-
port in its fight against Commu-
nist guerrillas.
these minor changes are "not
something you want to write home
about, but in terms of what's hap-
pened we think this small turn-
around is significant."
Wolfbein said the statisticians
have their fingers crossed over the
strength of the upturn, looking
for some reversal in the still-ris-
ing trend of long-term unemploy-
ment and for improvements in
especially hard-hit industries, oc-
cupations and areas.
The principal April job figures
had been released a week ago.
They showed employment rose by
218,000, less - than expected, to
65,734,000. Unemployment fell by
533,000, more than expected, to
4,962,000. Some further seasonal
cut in the idle total is due in May.
Factory employment remained
about the same in April at 15.5
million but showed increases in
certain key industries such as steel
and other metals production, met-
al fabricating and machinery-
making.
Wolfbein said the fact that fac-
tory employment remained steady
in April was especially encourag-
ing because the month usually
brings a seasonal decline of about
100,000.
[d Bill
Group Adds
$252 Million
To Proposal
Dirkson, Goldwater
Oppose Funds Boost
WASHINGTON (/P)-The Senate
Labor committee approved a $2.55
billion school aid bill yesterday
and pointed it toward a floor bat-
tle starting next Tuesday.
The committee added $252 mil-
lion to President John F. Kenne-
dy's recommendations but did not
change the purposes for which
the money could be used. Thus the
funds would be available for pub-
lic school construction or teacher
salaries, or both, during the next
three years.
Kennedy May Approve
Sponsors did not claim White
House approval of the higher
spending figure, but they indicat-
ed confidence that Kennedy would
accept it.
All ten committee Democrats
and two Republicans voted for the
measure, which includes a newly
adopted formula for allotting
money among the states. Oppos-
ing them in the 12-2 lineup were
Senate Republican Leader Ever-
ett M. Dirksen of Illinois and
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz),
Dirksen told reporters he was
against the original bill and was
even more opposed "now that it
has been increased more than $200
million."
Trim Bill
The measure was discussed at a
conference of Senate and House
GOP leaders and Dirksen said Re-
publicans will try to trim it down
with amendments on the Senate
floor.
H o u s e Republican Leader
Charles A. Halleck of Indiana said
there will not be "any tremendous
Republican support" for the bill,
but its Democratic sponsors seem-
ed confident they have the votes
for passage.
No money is provided for pri-
vate schools, but private school
pupils are counted in a state's en-
rollment for distribution purposes.
Chief effect of this is to increase
the aid for such states as Penn-
sylvania and Michigan which have
big parochial school enrollments.
No matching funds are required.
WASHINGTON (m)-A Defense
Department spokesman said yes-
terday that "under no circum-
stances does Secretary Robert S.
McNamara think that the Ameri-
can public should be misled about
a military program."
"But at the same time he does
not think we should gratuitously
provide any potential enemy with
valuable information about any
difficulties which may be encoun-
tered in the development of new
weapons systems."
This was the Pentagon's reply
to questions newsmen raised about
remarks McNamara made before
the Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee in secret session while dis-
cussing military secrecy about the
Nike Zeus anti-missile missile, and
other projects.
"Why should we tell Russia that
the Zeus developments may not
be satisfactory? What awe ought
to be saying is that we have the
most perfect anti-ICBM system
that the human mind will ever
devise. Instead, the public domain
is already full of statements that
the Zeus may not be satisfactory,
that it has deficiencies ... I think
it is absurd to release that kind
of information for the public,"
McNamara told the committee.
This statement startled some
newsmen, who interpreted it as
Constitutional
Changes Asked
By Portuguese
LISBON ()-Political oppon-
ents of Premier Antonio Salazar's
regime yesterday called for dras-
tic changes in the Portuguese
constitution to bring about a
more democratic rule for the na-
tion.
Their demands coincided with
new and violent crises in Portu-
guese Africa and followed Sala-
zar's recent attempts to strength-
en his hand with government
shakeups.
Seventy well known opposition
figures-lawyers, journalists and
businessmen-submitted their de-
mands in the form of a memo-
randum to the press. Political ob-
servers saw the move as the first
shot in the election campaign for
the National Assembly next Octo-
ber.
meaning McNamara favored giv-
ing out falsely optimistic informa-
tion about the Nike-Zeus and oth-
er secret military projects.
Referring to McNamara's ref-
erence to telling Russia that Zeus
developments may not be satis-
factory, the Pentagon spokesman
said the secretary had in mind
"the enormous advantages to Rus-
sia of our disclosing difficulties
which might develop in new weap-
ons systems."
Miller Urges
Wiretapin
WASHINGTON P)-A Justice
Department official yesterday urg-
ed Congress to legalize telephone
wiretapping by federal and state
police agencies and to permit the
use of wiretap evidence in crim-
inal trials.
But such authority should be
accompanied by strict safeguards
against invasion of privacy, Her-
bert S. Miller of the department!
said.
"Law enforcement officials
should be as free as criminals to
use modern scientific methods,"
Miller told the Senate Constitu-
tional Rights Subcommittee. This
group is conducting hearings on
bills proposing to authorize wire-
tapping to varying degrees.
Miller said the law should give
only the President and Attorney
General authority to permit wire-
tapping in the investigation of
spying, subversion and other
crimes affecting national security.
In cases involving othe'r crimes
this authority should be vested in
the courts.
The bill should permit each
state to write its own rules for
wiretapping by state and local of-
ficials, he said.

World News Roundup
WASHINGTON P)-Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark) yesterday
appealed to Congress to outlaw strikes which he called damnable and
blamed for slowing down the space flight-missile programs.
McClellan heads the Senate Investigations subcommittee which
has just suspended its hearings on labor troubles at missile bases. He
said the disclosures were appalling-at least as shocking as anything
turned by up the old Senate Racket Committee he headed during
three years of probing into labor-management-underworld ties.

NAIROBI (MP)-Kenya yesterday moved another step toward inde-
pendence from Britain, opening its multiracial legislative council
while police held off thousands of howling African demonstrators.
Goy. Sir Patrick Renison told the new colonial ministry-which
Tom Mboya's Kenya African National Union has refused to join-
that he believes Kenya can emerge as an independent nation where
all races can live without fear.

COQUILHATVILLE, The Congo VP)--In a mood of now or never,
President Joseph Kasavubu and his supporters are making a final
drive to draw up a new constitution for the Congo.
Uppermost in the minds of the delegates to the Coquilhatville
political conference is an absent member, Katanga's Moise Tshombe,
locked up in a guarded villa and charged with treason.
Hope for a workable solution to the Congo's 10-month-old politi-
cal and economic crisis rose as committees wound up their work for
presentation to the full conference.
