GOP OPPOSITION:
Committee Approves
Housing Program Bill
WASHINGTON (P)P -In a closed session, the House Banking
Committee, yesterday approved a multibillion dollar housing bill.
Committee Democrats and Republicans split on their vote, their
estimate of the total cost, and their appraisal of whether the bill
would satisfy President John F. Kennedy.
The vote reportedly was a straight party-line one, with all the
Democrats in favor and all the Republicans against. As a last move,
Republicans tried to substitute
MONTGOMERY ()--Five inte-
grationists, including the chaplain
at Yale University, left jail at
Montgomery yesterday a f t e r
spending the night behind bars
because of their "Freedom Ride"
actvities.
Cash bonds of $1,000 were post-
ed for the chaplain, the Rev. Wil-
liam S. Coffin, Jr.; the Rev. Gay-
lord. B. Noyce of Yale's Divinity
School; Dr. David E. Swift and Dr.
John B. Maguire, Wesleyan Uni-
versity religion professors; and
George B. Smith, Negro student
at Yale.
Six others arrested with them
Friday after seeking to break down
bus terminal segregation barriers
remained in jail and may stay
tWere until a hearing set for June
16.
Peace Corps
Coffin, a member of the Presi-
dent's Peace Corps advisory coun-
cil, told waiting newsmen as he
stepped outside:
"While /I have been in jail I
lave had time.to think of every
Ieace Corps man and woman,
whether they come from the North
or South, and particularly those
going to Tanganyika, the Philip-
pines and then Colombia.
"They will have to bear the bur-
den of Montgomery," he said.
Called Travesty
He called his arrest and the de-
tention of his companions "bla-
tantly illegal" and a "travesty on
justice.""
The Yale chaplain and the four
others posted cash bonds with
funds donated by well-wishers
back home.
Their departure from jail was
delayed more than an hour after
their formal release while they
waite(l for a National Guard con-
voy for an unannounced destina-
tion within the city.
All 11 integratonists were tak-
en into custody at the Trailways
bus station Thursday while seated
at the white lunch counter before
their planned departure on a bus
for Jackson, Miss.
Arrest Nazis
'r Picketing
Against Film
By The Associated Press
Ten members of the American
Nazi Party, arrested on charges
of disturbing the peace, remained
in a New Orleans jail yesterday
while another Nazi group dropped
out of contact on an announced
trip to the city.
Police arrested George Lincoln
Rockwell and nine of his "storm
troopers" Wednesday night when
they picketed a theater showing
the film "Exodus."
Thentroopers arrived from Ar-
lington, Va., aboard theirR own
"hatedbus" on a route which par-
alleled that of "Freedom Riders"
through the deep south. They
claimed they were pacifists oppos-
ing Communist Jews and the Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
At Little Rock, scene of major
disorders in 1957 when integration
first was ordered, the school board
announced plans to desegregate
four junior high schools and the
city's last remaining white high
school.
Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus
termed the action a "surrender by
degrees to the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Col-
ored People." The board acted un-
der a federal court directive that
school Integration be expanded.
In Washington, Atty. Gen. Rob-
ert F. Kennedy told the world yes-
terday the United States-despite
Alabama violence-is moving so
fast in race relations a Negro
could be president in 40 years.
the original bill proposed by Ken-
nedy for the final bill worked out
by committee Democrats. The Re-
publican move failed.
Democrats estimated the cost of
their bill at less than $5 billion.
But the Republicans said the final
draw on the United States Treas-
ury would reach $9 billion. They
said committee Democrats had
added $2 billion worth of projects
to the original Kennedy bill.
After the session, Rep. William
B. Widnall (R-NJ) told newsmen
the vote of the Democrats "ran
exactly opposite to' the appeal
Kennedy made Thursday for Con-
gress not to add on to spending
programs, no matter how desir-
able."
But Rep. Brent Spence (D-Ky),
the committee chairman, predicted
the Kennedy administration would
support the bill as approved by
the committee.
The bill includes many key Ken-
nedy recommendations, including
no down payment, 40-year federal
housing authority-insured mort-
gages on low priced houses, addi-
tional public housing up to 100,000
units and liberalized provisions for
making FHA home improvement
loans.
The bill also would allow the
FHA, in effect, to cut interest rates
by % per cent, would add $500
million for community facility
programs, reduce down payments
on houses costing more than $13,-
500, would set up a four-year col-
lege dormitory loan plan, and
would provide funds for rural
housing and parks.

Spencer Says Group
Seeks To Incite Riots
BULLETIN
JACKSON, Miss. (P)-Twen-
ty-seven "Freedom Riders,"
convicted yesterday of breach
of the peace in a desegregation
attempt, elected to remain in
jail rather than post bond or
pay the $200 fine and attend a
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo-
ple rally.
JACKSON, Miss. (AP)-Municipal
Judge James Spencer convicted
27 "Freedom Riders" yesterday of
breach of the peace, fined each
$200 and gave them 60 days sus-
pended sentences at the request
of the prosecution.
Spencer told the riders their
conduct has already led to mob
action and it would appear that
they wanted violence. He said they
sought to inflame the people to
fight it out among themselves in-
stead of taking their cases through
the courts.
The judge, talking in slow, de-
liberate tones, told the 27-all but
two of them Negroes-"the sole
purpose'that they came to Missis-
sippi for was to breach the peace."
He said that he was not trying
any segregation laws or the de-
fendants rights to. ride on any
particular buses in any way, or to
eat at any place
"These people took the laws in-
to their own hands and flagrantly
disobeyed the law," he said in a
statement before he handed down
the sentence.
Defense attorney Jack Young
said it would be two hours before
any decision was made on a pos-
sible appeal. He said he would
have to talk to each of the 27 in-
dividually, that same may want
to appeal and some ma want to
pay the fine. And some=to sit it
out.
Johnson's
Asia Trip
AidsSpirit
SAIGON, Viet Nam (-) - Vice-
President Lyndon B. Johnson's
trip to Southeast Asia boosted
morale in this area.
Reflecting assurances of in-
creased military and economic aid
from the United States, American
authorities in South Viet Nam and
Thailand got down to work im-
mediately to formulate specifics.
Talks began in Bangkok and Sai-
gon while Johnson was flying
home.
Modernize Arsenal
Military details of the program
cannot be disclosed in terms of
types and amounts of new Ameri-
can weapons. In general, however,
it is designed to modernize the
arsenal in Thailand and in Sai-
gon to make more men available
-and specificallyrtrained-for ac-
tion against Communist guerrillas.
Both countries are directly un-
der the Communist gun. Their
problems have been dangerously
aggravated by developments in
Laos which brought the Commu-
nist forces of North Viet Nam
much closer to vital areas.
Step-up Activity
South Viet Nam's central area,
formerly considered relatively se-
cure, is already seeing increased
activity by the Communist Viet-
Cong. Similarly, the Thais report
stepped-up Communist actions in
the northeast.
Reactions to Johnson's visit ap-
pear to have been uniformly good.
Asian government officials say
they had some reservations, at
first. "We have had assurances
and promises before," they tell
you. "The question was what ac-
tion the United States would
take."
By The Associated Press
Congressmen, foreign leaders,
and the general public are join-
ing in the increasingly hot de-
bate over the wisdom of sending
tractors to Fidel Castro as ran-
som for 1,200 Cubans he captured
in last months' ill-fated invasion.
Congressional Republicans went
on record in condemnation of
what they called a "movement for

U.S. Plans
Labor Peace
WASHINGTON (P) - The gov-
ernment came up yesterday with a
labor peace plan for missile and
space bases and officials said they
are sure it will work.
The plan involves a firm no-
strike pledge from labor unions
and a no-lockout pledge from
manufacturers and contractors--
along with a new 11-man "Missile
Sites Labor Commission" desig-
nated to settle all disputes.
President John F. Kennedy ex-
pressed confidence to Secretary of
Labor Arthur J. Goldberg, who
arranged the new peace plan, that
it will enable fast and economical
completion of the nation's multi-
billion dollars space projects.
The arrangement is all the more
important since Kennedy has just
asked Congress to chart an ac-
celerated program for sending a
man to the moon.
Goldberg agreed at a news con-
ference there is nothing in the
law, nor in an executive order is-
sued by the President establish-
ing the new commission, to compel
disputants to abide by the new
group's decisions.
blackmail payments to Fidel Cas-
tro," the Cuban dictator-prime
minister.
Individual Republicans repeat-
edly have attacked the privately
organized move to raise about $15
million to buy the 500 tractors
demanded by Castro for the re-
lease of the rebels taken when he
fcrushed last month's abortive in-
vasion. But yesterday's statement
by Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of
Illinois, the Senate Republican
leader, was the first official party
assault on the project.
Constituents React
Senators and representatives re-
ported angry or troubled protests
from their constituents against the
tractor deal, in, letters, telegrams
and phone calls. The volume was
not so heavy as on some redhot
issues of the past, but seemed to
be mounting.
The fund drive is being direct-
ed by a committee which has as
co-chairmen Democrat Walter P.
Reuther, head of the United Auto
Workers, and Republican Milton
Eisenhower, president of Johns
Hopkins University. Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt is honorary chairman.
Experts To Go To Cuba
The committee announced last
night it is seeking to form as early
as possible a committee of agri-
cultural and tractor experts to go
to Cuba to meet with Cuban tech-
nicians.'
The committee hopes the Amer-
ican experts can go to Cuba next
week.
The United States government
has an official hands-off attitude
toward the fund campaign. But'
President John F. Kennedy has
disclosed he gave advance bless-
ing to the project and encouraged
the Reuther - Eisenhower - Roose-
velt group to take charge of it
and called on Americans to con-,
tribute.I
The White House said letter
and telegrams to Kennedy on hi
statement endorsing the drive fo
funds were "running about even
for and against. Press Secretar
Pierre Salinger said about 60
communications had been receiv
ed.

GOP Blasts
F iscalPlns
WASHINGTON (M) - Republi-
can congressional leaders said
yesterday the country is headed for
a fiscal disaster of major pro-
portions unless President John F.
Kennedy's spending programs are
curbed.
The GOP leaders, Rep. Charles
A. Halleck of Indiana and Sen.
Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, said
Kennedy is taking the country in-
to "a jungle of unprecedented
spending .and loose fiscal policy."
In a statement read by Halleck,
the GOP leaders said they are con-
vinced no one in the administra-
tion knows what all of Kennedy's
programs will cost but prospects
are the federal budget will reach
at least $125 billion by 1965, if
not sooner.
By comparison, the budget for
the .new fiscal year starting July
1 runs about $85 billion, on the
basis of current spending pro-
grams.

... defense information
MeN amara
Ses Policies
WASHINGTON (A) - Secretary
of Defense Robert S. McNamara
yesterday set four principles to
help defense officials meet what
he conceded to be competing needs
for greater public information and
for greater official secrecy on mill-
tary matters.
"While it will restrict the flow
of properly classified information
in some respects," McNamara said
of the set of principles, "It will
also encourage more open, respon-
sible discussions of the pros and.
cons of national defense policies
and practices."
The four principles as explained
at the news conference were:
1. In a democratic society the
public must be clearly and fully
informed about the major issues
of defense policy.
2. Although it is essential to
avoid disclosure of information
that could be of material assist-
ance to the enemy, it is equally
important to avoid overclassifica-'
tioni especially to hinder public
discussion of controversial mat-,
ters.
3. Public statements appearing
to be defense department policy,
must actually reflect policy.
4. In public discussion, all de-
fense department officials should
confine themselves to defense mat-
ters.

Boy's Murder
To Eichmann
JERUSALEM (M)-For the first
time in his seven-week trial, Adolf
Eichmann was linked personally
yesterday with the murder of a
Jew, a boy accused of stealing
cherries from the Gestapo colon-
el's orchard.
The prosecution had announced
at the outset of the trial that it
had evidence Eichmann took part
in one murder, and Israelis had
been awaiting this moment.
Ayraham Gordon testified the
boy was taken into a tool shed.
"I saw Eichmann and his body-
guard over the shed. When he
emerged, Eichmann had stains on
his shirt and I was almost sure
they were bloodstains," he said.

JOHANNESBURG - More Ne-
groes and white sympathizers were
seized yesterday in the nation-
wide drive to head off a three-
day strike.
Before the new raids, an esti-
mated 10,000 nonwhites had been
jailed.
Leaders of the nonwhite major-
ity called the strikes in an at-
tempt to wring voting rights from
the white supremacist govern-
ment. The strikes coincide with
the proclamation Wednesday of
South Africa as a republic di-
vorced from the British Common-
wealth.
WASHINGTON - A resolution
favoring creation of a "white
fleet" to aid other nations in time
of famine, epidemic, floods or
other disasters was approved yes-
terday by the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
If adopted by the Senate, it
would say it is the feeling of that
body that if President John F.
Kennedy determines such a step
would promote United States for-
eign policy, he should establish
such a fleet.
The vessels, taken from the
mothball fleets would be equipped
to render prompt emergency aid
to other nations in case of dis-
asters and to carry out technical
assistance and training on "a con-
tinuing basis in the developing na-
tions of the world."
WASHINGTON-Sen. Thruston
B. Morton (R-Ky) urged yester-
day an overhauling of the present
system of electing presidents under
which all of a state's elec-
toral votes go to the candidate
receiving the most popular votes.
He advocated a constitutional
amendment providing instead that
two of each state's electors be
chosen statewide, as senators are,
and the rest by districts, as House
members are.
He said this would "reduce sub-
tantially the excessive influence
of pressure blocs in selecting can-
didates and in slanting party
platforms and campaigns for the
presidency."

posed income tax withholding on
