 The Fulton County Grand Jury said Friday an investigation of Atlanta's recent primary election produced no evidence that any irregularities took place.
 The jury further said in term-end presentments that the City Executive Committee, which had over-all charge of the election, deserves the praise and thanks of the City of Atlanta for the manner in which the election was conducted.
 The September-October term jury had been charged by Fulton Superior Court Judge Durwood Pye to investigate reports of possible irregularities in the hard-fought primary which was won by Mayor-nominate Ivan Allen Jr.
 Only a relative handful of such reports was received, the jury said, considering the widespread interest in the election, the number of voters and the size of this city.
 The jury said it did find that many of Georgia's registration and election laws are outmoded or inadequate and often ambiguous.
 It recommended that Fulton legislators act to have these laws studied and revised to the end of modernizing and improving them.
 The grand jury commented on a number of other topics, among them the Atlanta and Fulton County purchasing departments which it said are well operated and follow generally accepted practices which inure to the best interest of both governments.
 Merger proposed however, the jury said it believes these two offices should be combined to achieve greater efficiency and reduce the cost of administration.
 The City Purchasing Department, the jury said, is lacking in experienced clerical personnel as a result of city personnel policies.
 It urged that the city take steps to remedy this problem.
 Implementation of Georgia's automobile title law was also recommended by the outgoing jury.
 It urged that the next Legislature provide enabling funds and re-set the effective date so that an orderly implementation of the law may be effected.
 The grand jury took a swipe at the State Welfare Department's handling of federal funds granted for child welfare services in foster homes.
 This is one of the major items in the Fulton County general assistance program, the jury said, but the State Welfare Department has seen fit to distribute these funds through the welfare departments of all the counties in the state with the exception of Fulton County, which receives none of this money.
 The jurors said they realize a proportionate distribution of these funds might disable this program in our less populous counties.
 Nevertheless, we feel that in the future Fulton County should receive some portion of these available funds, the jurors said.
 Failure to do this will continue to place a disproportionate burden on Fulton taxpayers.
 The jury also commented on the Fulton ordinary's court which has been under fire for its practices in the appointment of appraisers, guardians and administrators and the awarding of fees and compensation.
 Wards protected the jury said it found the court has incorporated into its operating procedures the recommendations of two previous grand juries, the Atlanta Bar Association and an interim citizens committee.
 These actions should serve to protect in fact and in effect the court's wards from undue costs and its appointed and elected servants from unmeritorious criticisms, the jury said.
 Regarding Atlanta's new multi-million-dollar airport, the jury recommended that when the new management takes charge Jan. 1 the airport be operated in a manner that will eliminate political influences.
 The jury did not elaborate, but it added that there should be periodic surveillance of the pricing practices of the concessionaires for the purpose of keeping the prices reasonable.
 Ask jail deputies on other matters, the jury recommended that : 1 four additional deputies be employed at the Fulton County Jail and a doctor, medical intern or extern be employed for night and weekend duty at the jail.
 2 Fulton legislators work with city officials to pass enabling legislation that will permit the establishment of a fair and equitable pension plan for city employes.
 The jury praised the administration and operation of the Atlanta Police Department, the Fulton Tax Commissioner's Office, the Bellwood and Alpharetta prison farms, Grady Hospital and the Fulton Health Department.
 Mayor William B. Hartsfield filed suit for divorce from his wife, Pearl Williams Hartsfield, in Fulton Superior Court Friday.
 His petition charged mental cruelty.
 The couple was married Aug. 2, 1913.
 They have a son, William Berry Jr., and a daughter, Mrs. J. M. Cheshire of Griffin.
 Attorneys for the mayor said that an amicable property settlement has been agreed upon.
 The petition listed the mayor's occupation as attorney and his age as 71.
 It listed his wife's age as 74 and place of birth as Opelika, Ala.
 The petition said that the couple has not lived together as man and wife for more than a year.
 The Hartsfield home is at 637 E. Pelham Rd. J. Henry L. Bowden was listed on the petition as the mayor's attorney.
 Hartsfield has been mayor of Atlanta, with exception of one brief interlude, since 1937.
 His political career goes back to his election to city council in 1923.
 The mayor's present term of office expires Jan. 1.
 He will be succeeded by Ivan Allen Jr., who became a candidate in the Sept. 13 primary after Mayor Hartsfield announced that he would not run for reelection.
 Georgia Republicans are getting strong encouragement to enter a candidate in the 1962 governor's race, a top official said Wednesday.
 Robert Snodgrass, state J chairman, said a meeting held Tuesday night in Blue Ridge brought enthusiastic responses from the audience.
 State Party Chairman James W. Dorsey added that enthusiasm was picking up for a state rally to be held Sept. 8 in Savannah at which newly elected Texas Sen.
 John Tower will be the featured speaker.
 In the Blue Ridge meeting, the audience was warned that entering a candidate for governor would force it to take petitions out into voting precincts to obtain the signatures of registered voters.
 Despite the warning, there was a unanimous vote to enter a candidate, according to Republicans who attended.
 When the crowd was asked whether it wanted to wait one more term to make the race, it voted no -- and there were no dissents.
 The largest hurdle the Republicans would have to face is a state law which says that before making a first race, one of two alternative courses must be taken : 1 five per cent of the voters in each county must sign petitions requesting that the Republicans be allowed to place names of candidates on the general election ballot, or 2 the Republicans must hold a primary under the county unit system -- a system which the party opposes in its platform.
 Sam Caldwell, State Highway Department public relations director, resigned Tuesday to work for Lt. Gov. Garland Byrd's campaign.
 Caldwell's resignation had been expected for some time.
 He will be succeeded by Rob Ledford of Gainesville, who has been an assistant more than three years.
 When the gubernatorial campaign starts, Caldwell is expected to become a campaign coordinator for Byrd.
 The Georgia Legislature will wind up its 1961 session Monday and head for home -- where some of the highway bond money it approved will follow shortly.
 Before adjournment Monday afternoon, the Senate is expected to approve a study of the number of legislators allotted to rural and urban areas to determine what adjustments should be made.
 Gov. Vandiver is expected to make the traditional visit to both chambers as they work toward adjournment.
 Vandiver likely will mention the $100 million highway bond issue approved earlier in the session as his first priority item.
 Construction bonds meanwhile, it was learned the State Highway Department is very near being ready to issue the first $30 million worth of highway reconstruction bonds.
 The bond issue will go to the state courts for a friendly test suit to test the validity of the act, and then the sales will begin and contracts let for repair work on some of Georgia's most heavily traveled highways.
 A Highway Department source said there also is a plan there to issue some $3 million to $4 million worth of Rural Roads Authority bonds for rural road construction work.
 A revolving fund the department apparently intends to make the Rural Roads Authority a revolving fund under which new bonds would be issued every time a portion of the old ones are paid off by tax authorities.
 Vandiver opened his race for governor in 1958 with a battle in the Legislature against the issuance of $50 million worth of additional rural roads bonds proposed by then Gov. Marvin Griffin.
 The Highway Department source told The Constitution, however, that Vandiver has not been consulted yet about the plans to issue the new rural roads bonds.
 Schley County Rep. B. D. Pelham will offer a resolution Monday in the House to rescind the body's action of Friday in voting itself a $10 per day increase in expense allowances.
 Pelham said Sunday night there was research being done on whether the quickie vote on the increase can be repealed outright or whether notice would have to first be given that reconsideration of the action would be sought.
 While emphasizing that technical details were not fully worked out, Pelham said his resolution would seek to set aside the privilege resolution which the House voted through 87-31.
 A similar resolution passed in the Senate by a vote of 29-5.
 As of Sunday night, there was no word of a resolution being offered there to rescind the action.
 Pelham pointed out that Georgia voters last November rejected a constitutional amendment to allow legislators to vote on pay raises for future Legislature sessions.
 A veteran Jackson County legislator will ask the Georgia House Monday to back federal aid to education, something it has consistently opposed in the past.
 Rep. Mac Barber of Commerce is asking the House in a privilege resolution to endorse increased federal support for public education, provided that such funds be received and expended as state funds.
 Barber, who is in his 13th year as a legislator, said there are some members of our congressional delegation in Washington who would like to see it (the resolution) passed.
 But he added that none of Georgia's congressmen specifically asked him to offer the resolution.
 The resolution, which Barber tossed into the House hopper Friday, will be formally read Monday.
 It says that in the event Congress does provide this increase in federal funds, the State Board of Education should be directed to give priority to teacher pay raises.
 Colquitt -- after a long, hot controversy, Miller County has a new school superintendent, elected, as a policeman put it, in the coolest election I ever saw in this county.
 The new school superintendent is Harry Davis, a veteran agriculture teacher, who defeated Felix Bush, a school principal and chairman of the Miller County Democratic Executive Committee.
 Davis received 1,119 votes in Saturday's election, and Bush got 402.
 Ordinary Carey Williams, armed with a pistol, stood by at the polls to insure order.
 This was the coolest, calmest election I ever saw, Colquitt Policeman Tom Williams said.
 Being at the polls was just like being at church.
 I didn't smell a drop of liquor, and we didn't have a bit of trouble.
 The campaign leading to the election was not so quiet, however.
 It was marked by controversy, anonymous midnight phone calls and veiled threats of violence.
 The former county school superintendent, George P. Callan, shot himself to death March 18, four days after he resigned his post in a dispute with the county school board.
 During the election campaign, both candidates, Davis and Bush, reportedly received anonymous telephone calls.
 Ordinary Williams said he, too, was subjected to anonymous calls soon after he scheduled the election.
 Many local citizens feared that there would be irregularities at the polls, and Williams got himself a permit to carry a gun and promised an orderly election.
 Sheriff Felix Tabb said the ordinary apparently made good his promise.
 Everything went real smooth, the sheriff said.
 There wasn't a bit of trouble.
 Austin, Texas -- committee approval of Gov. Price Daniel's abandoned property act seemed certain Thursday despite the adamant protests of Texas bankers.
 Daniel personally led the fight for the measure, which he had watered down considerably since its rejection by two previous Legislatures, in a public hearing before the House Committee on Revenue and Taxation.
 Under committee rules, it went automatically to a subcommittee for one week.
 But questions with which committee members taunted bankers appearing as witnesses left little doubt that they will recommend passage of it.
 Daniel termed extremely conservative his estimate that it would produce 17 million dollars to help erase an anticipated deficit of 63 million dollars at the end of the current fiscal year next Aug. 31.
 He told the committee the measure would merely provide means of enforcing the escheat law which has been on the books since Texas was a republic.
 It permits the state to take over bank accounts, stocks and other personal property of persons missing for seven years or more.
 The bill, which Daniel said he drafted personally, would force banks, insurance firms, pipeline companies and other corporations to report such property to the state treasurer.
 The escheat law cannot be enforced now because it is almost impossible to locate such property, Daniel declared.
 Dewey Lawrence, a Tyler lawyer representing the Texas Bankers Association, sounded the opposition keynote when he said it would force banks to violate their contractual obligations with depositors and undermine the confidence of bank customers.
 If you destroy confidence in banks, you do something to the economy, he said.
 You take out of circulation many millions of dollars.
 Rep. Charles E. Hughes of Sherman, sponsor of the bill, said a failure to enact it would amount to making a gift out of the taxpayers' pockets to banks, insurance and pipeline companies.
 His contention was denied by several bankers, including Scott Hudson of Sherman, Gaynor B. Jones of Houston, J. B. Brady of Harlingen and Howard Cox of Austin.
 Cox argued that the bill is probably unconstitutional since, he said, it would impair contracts.
 He also complained that not enough notice was given on the hearing, since the bill was introduced only last Monday.
 Austin, Texas -- senators unanimously approved Thursday the bill of Sen. George Parkhouse of Dallas authorizing establishment of day schools for the deaf in Dallas and the four other largest counties.
 The bill is designed to provide special schooling for more deaf students in the scholastic age at a reduced cost to the state.
 There was no debate as the Senate passed the bill on to the House.
 It would authorize the Texas Education Agency to establish county-wide day schools for the deaf in counties of 300,000 or more population, require deaf children between 6 and 13 years of age to attend the day schools, permitting older ones to attend the residential Texas School for the Deaf here.
 Operating budget for the day schools in the five counties of Dallas, Harris, Bexar, Tarrant and El Paso would be $451,500, which would be a savings of $157,460 yearly after the first year's capital outlay of $88,000 was absorbed, Parkhouse told the Senate.
 The J estimated there would be 182 scholastics to attend the day school in Dallas County, saving them from coming to Austin to live in the state deaf school.
 Dallas may get to hear a debate on horse race parimutuels soon between Reps. V. E. (Red) Berry and Joe Ratcliff.
 While details are still to be worked out, Ratcliff said he expects to tell home folks in Dallas why he thinks Berry's proposed constitutional amendment should be rejected.
 We're getting more pro letters than con on horse race betting, said Ratcliff.
 But I believe if people were better informed on this question, most of them would oppose it also.
 I'm willing to stake my political career on it.
 Rep. Berry, an ex-gambler from San Antonio, got elected on his advocacy of betting on the ponies.
 A House committee which heard his local option proposal is expected to give it a favorable report, although the resolution faces hard sledding later.
 The house passed finally, and sent to the Senate, a bill extending the State Health Department's authority to give planning assistance to cities.
 The senate quickly whipped through its meager fare of House bills approved by committees, passing the three on the calendar.
 One validated acts of school districts.
 Another enlarged authority of the Beaumont Navigation District.
 The third amended the enabling act for creation of the Lamar county Hospital District, for which a special constitutional amendment previously was adopted.
 Without dissent, senators passed a bill by Sen. A. R. Schwartz of Galveston authorizing establishment in the future of a school for the mentally retarded in the Gulf Coast district.
 Money for its construction will be sought later on but in the meantime the State Hospital board can accept gifts and donations of a site.
 Two tax revision bills were passed.
 One, by Sen. Louis Crump of San Saba, would aid more than 17,000 retailers who pay a group of miscellaneous excise taxes by eliminating the requirement that each return be notarized.
 Instead, retailers would sign a certificate of correctness, violation of which would carry a penalty of one to five years in prison, plus a $1,000 fine.
 It was one of a series of recommendations by the Texas Research League.
 The other bill, by Sen. A. M. Aikin Jr. of Paris, would relieve real estate brokers, who pay their own annual licensing fee, from the $12 annual occupation license on brokers in such as stocks and bonds.
 Natural gas public utility companies would be given the right of eminent domain, under a bill by Sen. Frank Owen 3 of El Paso, to acquire sites for underground storage reservoirs for gas.
 Marshall Formby of Plainview, former chairman of the Texas Highway Commission, suggested a plan to fill by appointment future vacancies in the Legislature and Congress, eliminating the need for costly special elections.
 Under Formby's plan, an appointee would be selected by a board composed of the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House, attorney general and chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court.
 Austin, Texas -- state representatives decided Thursday against taking a poll on what kind of taxes Texans would prefer to pay.
 An adverse vote of 81 to 65 kept in the State Affairs Committee a bill which would order the referendum on the April 4 ballot, when Texas votes on a U.S. senator.
 Rep. Wesley Roberts of Seminole, sponsor of the poll idea, said that further delay in the committee can kill the bill.
 The West Texan reported that he had finally gotten Chairman Bill Hollowell of the committee to set it for public hearing on Feb. 22.
 The proposal would have to receive final legislative approval, by two-thirds majorities, before March 1 to be printed on the April 4 ballot, Roberts said.
 Opponents generally argued that the ballot couldn't give enough information about tax proposals for the voters to make an intelligent choice.
 All Dallas members voted with Roberts, except Rep. Bill Jones, who was absent.
 Austin, Texas -- Paradise lost to the alleged water needs of Texas' big cities Thursday.
 Rep. James Cotten of Weatherford insisted that a water development bill passed by the Texas House of Representatives was an effort by big cities like Dallas and Fort Worth to cover up places like Paradise, a Wise County hamlet of 250 people.
 When the shouting ended, the bill passed, 114 to 4, sending it to the Senate, where a similar proposal is being sponsored by Sen. George Parkhouse of Dallas.
 Most of the fire was directed by Cotten against Dallas and Sen. Parkhouse.
 The bill would increase from $5,000,000 to $15,000,000 the maximum loan the state could make to a local water project.
 Cotten construed this as a veiled effort by Parkhouse to help Dallas and other large cities get money which Cotten felt could better be spent providing water for rural Texas.
 Statements by other legislators that Dallas is paying for all its water program by local bonds, and that less populous places would benefit most by the pending bill, did not sway Cotten's attack.
 The bill's defenders were mostly small-town legislators like J. W. Buchanan of Dumas, Eligio (Kika) De La Garza of Mission, Sam F. Collins of Newton and Joe Chapman of Sulphur Springs.
 This is a poor boy's bill, said Chapman.
 Dallas and Fort Worth can vote bonds.
 This would help the little peanut districts.
 Austin, Texas -- a Houston teacher, now serving in the Legislature, proposed Thursday a law reducing the time spent learning educational methods.
 Rep. Henry C. Grover, who teaches history in the Houston public schools, would reduce from 24 to 12 semester hours the so-called teaching methods courses required to obtain a junior or senior high school teaching certificate.
 A normal year's work in college is 30 semester hours.
 Grover also would require junior-senior high teachers to have at least 24 semester hours credit in the subject they are teaching.
 The remainder of the 4-year college requirement would be in general subjects.
 A person with a master's degree in physics, chemistry, math or English, yet who has not taken Education courses, is not permitted to teach in the public schools, said Grover.
 College teachers in Texas are not required to have the Education courses.
 Fifty-three of the 150 representatives immediately joined Grover as co-signers of the proposal.
 Paris, Texas (sp.) -- the board of regents of Paris Junior College has named Dr. Clarence Charles Clark of Hays, Kan. as the school's new president.
 Dr. Clark will succeed Dr. J. R. McLemore, who will retire at the close of the present school term.
 Dr. Clark holds an earned Doctor of Education degree from the University of Oklahoma.
 He also received a Master of Science degree from Texas J & J College and a Bachelor of Science degree from Southwestern State College, Weatherford, Okla.
 In addition, Dr. Clark has studied at Rhode Island State College and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 During his college career, Dr. Clark was captain of his basketball team and was a football letterman.
 Dr. Clark has served as teacher and principal in Oklahoma high schools, as teacher and athletic director at Raymondville, Texas, High School, as an instructor at the University of Oklahoma, and as an associate professor of education at Fort Hays, Kan., State College.
 He has served as a border patrolman and was in the Signal Corps of the U.S. Army.
 Denton, Texas (sp.) -- principals of the 13 schools in the Denton Independent School District have been re-elected for the 1961-62 session upon the recommendation of Supt. Chester O. Strickland.
 State and federal legislation against racial discrimination in employment was called for yesterday in a report of a blue ribbon citizens committee on the aid to dependent children program.
 The report, culminating a year long study of the J program in Cook county by a New York City welfare consulting firm, listed 10 long range recommendations designed to reduce the soaring J case load.
 The report called racial discrimination in employment one of the most serious causes of family breakdown, desertion, and J dependency.
 Must solve problem the monthly cost of J to more than 100,000 recipients in the county is 4.4 million dollars, said C. Virgil Martin, president of Carson Pirie Scott & Co., committee chairman.
 We must solve the problems which have forced these people to depend upon J for subsistence, Martin said.
 The volume of J cases will decrease, Martin reported, when the community is able to deal effectively with two problems : relatively limited skills and discrimination in employment because of color.
 These, he said, are two of the principal underlying causes for family breakups leading to J.
 Calls for extension other recommendations made by the committee are : extension of the J program to all children in need living with any relatives, including both parents, as a means of preserving family unity.
 Research projects as soon as possible on the causes and prevention of dependency and illegitimacy.
 Several defendants in the Summerdale police burglary trial made statements indicating their guilt at the time of their arrest, Judge James B. Parsons was told in Criminal court yesterday.
 The disclosure by Charles Bellows, chief defense counsel, startled observers and was viewed as the prelude to a quarrel between the six attorneys representing the eight former policemen now on trial.
 Bellows made the disclosure when he asked Judge Parsons to grant his client, Alan Clements, 30, a separate trial.
 Bellows made the request while the all-woman jury was out of the courtroom.
 Fears prejudicial aspects the statements may be highly prejudicial to my client, Bellows told the court.
 Some of the defendants strongly indicated they knew they were receiving stolen property.
 It is impossible to get a fair trial when some of the defendants made statements involving themselves and others.
 Judge Parsons leaned over the bench and inquired, you mean some of the defendants made statements admitting this?
 Yes, your honor, replied Bellows.
 What this amounts to, if true, is that there will be a free-for-all fight in this case.
 There is a conflict among the defendants.
 Washington, July 24 -- President Kennedy today pushed aside other White House business to devote all his time and attention to working on the Berlin crisis address he will deliver tomorrow night to the American people over nationwide television and radio.
 The President spent much of the week-end at his summer home on Cape Cod writing the first drafts of portions of the address with the help of White House aids in Washington with whom he talked by telephone.
 Shortly after the Chief Executive returned to Washington in midmorning from Hyannis Port, Mass., a White House spokesman said the address text still had quite a way to go toward completion.
 Decisions are made asked to elaborate, Pierre Salinger, White House press secretary, replied, I would say it's got to go thru several more drafts.
 Salinger said the work President Kennedy, advisers, and members of his staff were doing on the address involved composition and wording, rather than last minute decisions on administration plans to meet the latest Berlin crisis precipitated by Russia's demands and proposals for the city.
 The last 10 cases in the investigation of the Nov. 8 election were dismissed yesterday by Acting Judge John M. Karns, who charged that the prosecution obtained evidence by unfair and fundamentally illegal means.
 Karns said that the cases involved a matter of even greater significance than the guilt or innocence of the 50 persons.
 He said evidence was obtained in violation of the legal rights of citizens.
 Karns' ruling pertained to eight of the 10 cases.
 In the two other cases he ruled that the state had been unable to make a case.
 Contempt proceedings originally had been brought against 677 persons in 133 precincts by Morris J. Wexler, special prosecutor.
 Issue jury subpoenas Wexler admitted in earlier court hearings that he issued grand jury subpenas to about 200 persons involved in the election investigation, questioned the individuals in the Criminal courts building, but did not take them before the grand jury.
 Mayer Goldberg, attorney for election judges in the 58th precinct of the 23d ward, argued this procedure constituted intimidation.
 Wexler has denied repeatedly that coercion was used in questioning.
 Karns said it was a wrongful act for Wexler to take statements privately and outside of the grand jury room.
 He said this constituted a very serious misuse of the Criminal court processes.
 Actually, the abuse of the process may have constituted a contempt of the Criminal court of Cook county, altho vindication of the authority of that court is not the function of this court, said Karns, who is a City judge in East St. Louis sitting in Cook County court.
 Faced seven cases Karns had been scheduled this week to hear seven cases involving 35 persons.
 Wexler had charged the precinct judges in these cases with complementary miscount of the vote, in which votes would be taken from one candidate and given to another.
 The cases involved judges in the 33d, 24th, and 42d precincts of the 31st ward, the 21st and 28th precincts of the 29th ward, the 18th precinct of the 4th ward, and the 9th precinct of the 23d ward.
 The case of the judges in the 58th precinct of the 23d ward had been heard previously and taken under advisement by Karns.
 Two other cases also were under advisement.
 Claims precedent lacking after reading his statement discharging the 23d ward case, Karns told Wexler that if the seven cases scheduled for trial also involved persons who had been subpenaed, he would dismiss them.
 Washington, Feb. 9 -- President Kennedy today proposed a mammoth new medical care program whereby social security taxes on 70 million American workers would be raised to pay the hospital and some other medical bills of 14.2 million Americans over 65 who are covered by social security or railroad retirement programs.
 The President, in a special message to Congress, tied in with his aged care plan requests for large federal grants to finance medical and dental scholarships, build 20 new medical and 20 new dental schools, and expand child health care and general medical research.
 The aged care plan, similar to one the President sponsored last year as a senator, a fight on Capitol hill.
 It was defeated in Congress last year.
 Cost up to $37 a year it would be financed by boosting the social security payroll tax by as much as $37 a year for each of the workers now paying such taxes.
 The social security payroll tax is now 6 per cent -- 3 per cent on each worker and employer -- on the first $4,800 of pay per year.
 The Kennedy plan alone would boost the base to $5,000 a year and the payroll tax to 6.5 per cent -- 3.25 per cent each.
 Similar payroll tax boosts would be imposed on those under the railroad retirement system.
 The payroll tax would actually rise to 7.5 per cent starting Jan. 1, 1963, if the plan is approved, because the levy is already scheduled to go up by 1 per cent on that date to pay for other social security costs.
 Outlays would increase officials estimated the annual tax boost for the medical plan would amount to 1.5 billion dollars and that medical benefits paid out would run 1 billion or more in the first year, 1963.
 Both figures would go higher in later years.
 Other parts of the Kennedy health plan would entail federal grants of 750 million to 1 billion dollars over the next 10 years.
 These would be paid for out of general, not payroll, taxes.
 Nursing home care the aged care plan carries these benefits for persons over 65 who are under the social security and railroad retirement systems : 1 full payment of hospital bills for stays up to 90 days for each illness, except that the patient would pay $10 a day of the cost for the first nine days.
 2 full payment of nursing home bills for up to 180 days following discharge from a hospital.
 A patient could receive up to 300 days paid-for nursing home care under a unit formula allowing more of such care for those who use none or only part of the hospital-care credit.
 3 hospital outpatient clinic diagnostic service for all costs in excess of $20 a patient.
 4 community visiting nurse services at home for up to 240 days an illness.
 The President noted that Congress last year passed a law providing grants to states to help pay medical bills of the needy aged.
 Calls proposal modest he said his plan is designed to meet the needs of those millions who have no wish to receive care at the taxpayers' expense, but who are nevertheless staggered by the drain on their savings -- or those of their children -- caused by an extended hospital stay.
 This is a very modest proposal cut to meet absolutely essential needs, he said, and with sufficient deductible requirements to discourage any malingering or unnecessary overcrowding of our hospitals.
 This is not a program of socialized medicine.
 It is a program of prepayment of health costs with absolute freedom of choice guaranteed.
 Every person will choose his own doctor and hospital.
 Wouldn't pay doctors the plan does not cover doctor bills.
 They would still be paid by the patient.
 Apart from the aged care plan the President's most ambitious and costly proposals were for federal scholarships, and grants to build or enlarge medical and dental schools.
 The President said the nation's 92 medical and 47 dental schools cannot now handle the student load needed to meet the rising need for health care.
 Moreover, he said, many qualified young people are not going into medicine and dentistry because they can't afford the schooling costs.
 Contributions to schools the scholarship plan would provide federal contributions to each medical and dental school equal to $1,500 a year for one-fourth of the first year students.
 The schools could use the money to pay 4-year scholarships, based on need, of up to $2,000 a year per student.
 In addition, the government would pay a $1,000 cost of education grant to the schools for each $1,500 in scholarship grants.
 Officials estimated the combined programs would cost 5.1 million dollars the first year and would go up to 21 millions by 1966.
 The President recommended federal matching grants totaling 700 million dollars in 10 years for constructing new medical and dental schools or enlarging the capacity of existing ones.
 More for nursing homes in the area of community health services, the President called for doubling the present 10 million dollar a year federal grants for nursing home construction.
 He asked for another 10 million dollar initial appropriation for stimulatory grants to states to improve nursing homes.
 He further proposed grants of an unspecified sum for experimental hospitals.
 In the child health field, the President said he will recommend later an increase in funds for programs under the children's bureau.
 He also asked Congress to approve establishment of a national child health institute.
 Asks research funds the President said he will ask Congress to increase grants to states for vocational rehabilitation.
 He did not say by how much.
 For medical research he asked a 20 million dollar a year increase, from 30 to 50 millions, in matching grants for building research facilities.
 The President said he will also propose increasing, by an unspecified amount, the 540 million dollars in the 1961-62 budget for direct government research in medicine.
 The President said his proposals combine the indispensable elements in a sound health program -- people, knowledge, services, facilities, and the means to pay for them. Reaction as expected congressional reaction to the message was along expected lines.
 Legislators who last year opposed placing aged-care under the social security system criticized the President's plan.
 Those who backed a similar plan last year hailed the message.
 Senate Republican Leader Dirksen (Ill.) and House Republican Leader Charles Halleck (Ind.) said the message did not persuade them to change their opposition to compulsory medical insurance. Halleck said the voluntary care plan enacted last year should be given a fair trial first.
 House Speaker Sam Rayburn (D., Tex.) called the Kennedy program a mighty fine thing, but made no prediction on its fate in the House. Washington, Feb. 9 -- acting hastily under White House pressure, the Senate tonight confirmed Robert C. Weaver as the nation's federal housing chief.
 Only 11 senators were on the floor and there was no record vote.
 A number of scattered ayes and noes was heard.
 Customary Senate rules were ignored in order to speed approval of the Negro leader as administrator of the housing and home finance agency.
 In the last eight years, all Presidential appointments, including those of cabinet rank, have been denied immediate action because of a Senate rule requiring at least a 24 hour delay after they are reported to the floor.
 Enforce by demand the rule was enforced by demand of Sen. Wayne Morse (D., Ore.) in connection with President Eisenhower's cabinet selections in 1953 and President Kennedy's in 1961.
 Oslo the most positive element to emerge from the Oslo meeting of North Atlantic Treaty Organization Foreign Ministers has been the freer, franker, and wider discussions, animated by much better mutual understanding than in past meetings.
 This has been a working session of an organization that, by its very nature, can only proceed along its route step by step and without dramatic changes.
 In Oslo, the ministers have met in a climate of candor, and made a genuine attempt to get information and understanding one another's problems.
 This atmosphere of understanding has been particularly noticeable where relations are concerned between the colonialist powers and those who have never, or not for a long time, had such problems.
 The nightmare of a clash between those in trouble in Africa, exacerbated by the difficulties, changes, and tragedies facing them, and other allies who intellectually and emotionally disapprove of the circumstances that have brought these troubles about, has been conspicuous by its absence. Explosion avoided in the case of Portugal, which a few weeks ago was rumored ready to walk out of the J Council should critics of its Angola policy prove harsh, there has been a noticeable relaxation of tension.
 The general, remarkably courteous, explanation has left basic positions unchanged, but there has been no explosion in the council.
 There should even be no more bitter surprises in the J General Assembly as to J members' votes, since a new ad hoc J committee has been set up so that in the future such topics as Angola will be discussed in advance.
 Canada alone has been somewhat out of step with the Oslo attempt to get all the allied cars back on the track behind the J locomotive. Even Norway, despite daily but limited manifestations against atomic arms in the heart of this northernmost capital of the alliance, is today closer to the J line.
 On the negative side of the balance sheet must be set some disappointment that the United States leadership has not been as much in evidence as hoped for.
 One diplomat described the tenor of Secretary of State Dean Rusk's speeches as inconclusive.
 But he hastened to add that, if United States policies were not always clear, despite Mr. Rusk's analysis of the various global danger points and setbacks for the West, this may merely mean the new administration has not yet firmly fixed its policy.
 Exploratory mood a certain vagueness may also be caused by tactical appreciation of the fact that the present council meeting is a semipublic affair, with no fewer than six Soviet correspondents accredited.
 The impression has nevertheless been given during these three days, despite Mr. Rusk's personal popularity, that the United States delegation came to Oslo in a somewhat tentative and exploratory frame of mind, more ready to listen and learn than to enunciate firm policy on a global scale with detailed application to individual danger spots.
 The Secretary of State himself, in his first speech, gave some idea of the tremendous march of events inside and outside the United States that has preoccupied the new administration in the past four months.
 But where the core of J is concerned, the Secretary of State has not only reiterated the United States' profound attachment to the alliance, cornerstone of its foreign policy, but has announced that five nuclear submarines will eventually be at J disposal in European waters.
 The Secretary of State has also solemnly repeated a warning to the Soviet Union that the United States will not stand for another setback in Berlin, an affirmation once again taken up by the council as a whole.
 Conflict surveyed the secretary's greatest achievement is perhaps the rekindling of J realization that East-West friction, wherever it take place around the globe, is in essence the general conflict between two entirely different societies, and must be treated as such without regard to geographical distance or lack of apparent connection.
 The annual spring meeting has given an impetus in three main directions : more, deeper, and more timely political consultation within the alliance, the use of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (when ratified) as a method of coordinating aid to the underdeveloped countries, and the need for strengthening conventional forces as well as the maintenance of the nuclear deterrent.
 This increase in the threshold, as the conventional forces strengthening is called, will prove one of the alliance's most difficult problems in the months to come.
 Each ally will have to carry out obligations long since laid down, but never completely fulfilled.
 Washington the Kennedy administration moves haltingly toward a Geneva conference on Laos just as serious debate over its foreign policy erupts for the first time.
 There is little optimism here that the Communists will be any more docile at the conference table than they were in military actions on the ground in Laos.
 The United States, State Department officials explain, now is mainly interested in setting up an international inspection system which will prevent Laos from being used as a base for Communist attacks on neighboring Thailand and South Viet Nam.
 They count on the aid of the neutral countries attending the Geneva conference to achieve this.
 The United States hopes that any future Lao Cabinet would not become Communist dominated.
 But it is apparent that no acceptable formula has been found to prevent such a possibility.
 Policies modified the inclination here is to accept a de facto cease-fire in Laos, rather than continue to insist on a verification of the cease-fire by the international control commission before participating in the Geneva conference.
 This is another of the modifications of policy on Laos that the Kennedy administration has felt compelled to make.
 It excuses these actions as being the chain reaction to basic errors made in the previous administration.
 Its spokesmen insist that there has not been time enough to institute reforms in military and economic aid policies in the critical areas. But with the months moving on -- and the immediate confrontations with the Communists showing no gain for the free world -- the question arises : how effective have Kennedy administration first foreign policy decisions been in dealing with Communist aggression?
 Former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon in Detroit called for a firmer and tougher policy toward the Soviet Union.
 He was critical of what he feels is President Kennedy's tendency to be too conciliatory.
 J GOP restrained it does not take a Gallup poll to find out that most Republicans in Congress feel this understates the situation as Republicans see it.
 They can hardly restrain themselves from raising the question of whether Republicans, if they had been in power, would have made amateurish and monumental blunders in Cuba.
 One Republican senator told this correspondent that he was constantly being asked why he didn't attack the Kennedy administration on this score.
 His reply, he said, was that he agreed to the need for unity in the country now.
 But he further said that it was better politics to let others question the wisdom of administration policies first. The Republicans some weeks ago served notice through Senator Thruston B. Morton (R) of Kentucky, chairman of the Republican National Committee, that the Kennedy administration would be held responsible if the outcome in Laos was a coalition government susceptible of Communist domination.
 Kennedy administration policies also have been assailed now from another direction by 70 Harvard, Boston University, Brandeis, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology educators.
 Detente urged this group pleads with the administration to give no further support for the invasion of Cuba by exile groups.
 It recommends that the United States seek instead to detach the Castro regime from the Communist bloc by working for a diplomatic detente and a resumption of trade relations ; and concentrate its constructive efforts on eliminating in other parts of Latin America the social conditions on which totalitarian nationalism feeds.
 Mr. Nixon, for his part, would oppose intervention in Cuba without specific provocation.
 But he did recommend that President Kennedy state clearly that if Communist countries shipped any further arms to Cuba that it would not be tolerated.
 Until the Cuban fiasco and the Communist military victories in Laos, almost any observer would have said that President Kennedy had blended a program that respected, generally, the opinions voiced both by Mr. Nixon and the professors.
 Aid plans revamped very early in his administration he informed the Kremlin through diplomatic channels, a high official source disclosed, that the new administration would react even tougher than the Eisenhower administration would during the formative period of the administration.
 Strenuous efforts were made to remove pin pricking from administration statements.
 Policies on nuclear test ban negotiations were reviewed and changed.
 But thus far there has been no response in kind. Foreign aid programs were revamped to give greater emphasis to economic aid and to encourage political reform in recipient nations.
 In Laos, the administration looked at the Eisenhower administration efforts to show determination by sailing a naval fleet into Southeast Asian waters as a useless gesture.
 Again and again it asked the Communists to freeze the military situation in Laos.
 But the Communists aided the Pathet Lao at an even faster rate.
 And after several correspondents went into Pathet Lao territory and exposed the huge build-up, administration spokesmen acclaimed them for performing a great service and laid the matter before the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization.
 J SEATO was steamed up and prepared contingency plans for coping with the military losses in Laos.
 But the Communists never gave sufficient provocation at any one time for the United States to want to risk a limited or an all-out war over Laos.
 (some J nations disagreed, however. ) there was the further complication that the administration had very early concluded that Laos was ill suited to be an ally, unlike its more determined neighbors, Thailand and South Viet Nam.
 The administration declared itself in favor of a neutralized Laos.
 The pro-Western government, which the United States had helped in a revolt against the Souvanna Phouma neutralist government, never did appear to spark much fighting spirit in the Royal Lao Army.
 There certainly was not any more energy displayed after it was clear the United States would not back the pro-Western government to the hilt.
 If the administration ever had any ideas that it could find an acceptable alternative to Prince Souvanna Phouma, whom it felt was too trusting of Communists, it gradually had to relinquish them.
 One factor was the statement of Senator J. W. Fulbright (D) of Arkansas, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 He declared on March 25 that the United States had erred a year and a half ago by encouraging the removal of Prince Souvanna.
 Washington the White House is taking extraordinary steps to check the rapid growth of juvenile delinquency in the United States.
 The President is deeply concerned over this problem and its effect upon the vitality of the nation.
 In an important assertion of national leadership in this field, he has issued an executive order establishing the President's committee on Juvenile Delinquency and Crime, to be supported and assisted by a Citizens Advisory Council of recognized authorities on juvenile problems.
 The President asks the support and cooperation of Congress in his efforts through the enactment of legislation to provide federal grants to states for specified efforts in combating this disturbing crime trend. Offenses multiply the President has also called upon the Attorney General, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and the Secretary of Labor to coordinate their efforts in the development of a program of federal leadership to assist states and local communities in their efforts to cope with the problem.
 Simultaneously the President announced Thursday the appointment of David L. Hackett, a special assistant to the Attorney General, as executive director of the new Committee on Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Crime.
 His sense of urgency in this matter stems from the fact that court cases and juvenile arrests have more than doubled since 1948, each year showing an increase in offenders.
 Among arrests reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1959, about half for burglary and larceny involved persons under 18 years of age.
 East Providence should organize its civil defense setup and begin by appointing a full-time director, Raymond H. Hawksley, the present city J head, believes.
 Mr. Hawksley said yesterday he would be willing to go before the city council or anyone else locally to outline his proposal at the earliest possible time.
 East Providence now has no civil defense program. Mr. Hawksley, the state's general treasurer, has been a part-time J director in the city for the last nine years.
 He is not interested in being named a full-time director.
 Noting that President Kennedy has handed the Defense Department the major responsibility for the nation's civil defense program, Mr. Hawksley said the federal government would pay half the salary of a full-time local director.
 He expressed the opinion the city could hire a J director for about $3,500 a year and would only have to put up half that amount on a matching fund basis to defray the salary costs.
 Mr. Hawksley said he believed there are a number of qualified city residents who would be willing to take the full-time J job.
 One of these men is former Fire Chief John A. Laughlin, he said.
 Along with a director, the city should provide a J headquarters so that pertinent information about the local organization would be centralized.
 Mr. Hawksley said.
 One advantage that would come to the city in having a full-time director, he said, is that East Providence would become eligible to apply to the federal government for financial aid in purchasing equipment needed for a sound civil defense program.
 Matching funds also can be obtained for procurement of such items as radios, sirens and rescue trucks, he said.
 Mr. Hawksley believes that East Providence could use two more rescue trucks, similar to the J vehicle obtained several years ago and now detailed to the Central Fire Station.
 He would assign one of the rescue trucks to the Riverside section of the city and the other to the Rumford area.
 Speaking of the present status of civil defense in the city, Mr. Hawksley said he would be willing to bet that not more than one person in a hundred would know what to do or where to go in the event of an enemy attack.
 The Narragansett Race Track grounds is one assembly point, he said, and a drive-in theater in Seekonk would be another.
 Riverside residents would go to the Seekonk assembly point. Mr. Hawksley said he was not critical of city residents for not knowing what to do or where to assemble in case of an air attack.
 Such vital information, he said, has to be made available to the public frequently and at regular intervals for residents to know.
 If the city council fails to consider appointment of a full-time J director, Mr. Hawksley said, then he plans to call a meeting early in September so that a civil defense organization will be developed locally.
 One of the first things he would do, he said, would be to organize classes in first aid.
 Other steps would be developed after information drifts down to the local level from the federal government.
 Rhode Island is going to examine its Sunday sales law with possible revisions in mind.
 Governor Notte said last night he plans to name a committee to make the study and come up with recommendations for possible changes in time for the next session of the General Assembly.
 The governor's move into the so-called blue law controversy came in the form of a letter to Miss Mary R. Grant, deputy city clerk of Central Falls.
 A copy was released to the press.
 Mr. Notte was responding to a resolution adopted by the Central Falls City Council on July 10 and sent to the state house by Miss Grant.
 The resolution urges the governor to have a complete study of the Sunday sales laws made with an eye to their revision at the next session of the legislature.
 While the city council suggested that the Legislative Council might perform the review, Mr. Notte said that instead he will take up the matter with Atty. Gen. J. Joseph Nugent to get the benefit of his views.
 He will then appoint the study committee with Mr. Nugent's cooperation, the governor said.
 I would expect the proposed committee to hold public hearings, Mr. Notte said, to obtain the views of the general public and religious, labor and special-interest groups affected by these laws.
 The governor wrote Miss Grant that he has been concerned for some time with the continuous problem which confronts our local and state law enforcement officers as a result of the laws regulating Sunday sales.
 The attorney general has advised local police that it is their duty to enforce the blue laws.
 Should there be evidence they are shirking, he has said, the state police will step into the situation.
 There has been more activity across the state line in Massachusetts than in Rhode Island in recent weeks toward enforcement of the Sunday sales laws.
 The statutes, similar in both the Bay State and Rhode Island and dating back in some instances to colonial times, severely limit the types of merchandise that may be sold on the Sabbath.
 The Central Falls City Council expressed concern especially that more foods be placed on the eligible list and that neighborhood grocery and variety stores be allowed to do business on Sunday.
 The only day they have a chance to compete with large supermarkets is on Sunday, the council's resolution said.
 The small shops must be retained, for they provide essential service to the community, according to the resolution, which added that they also are the source of livelihood for thousands of our neighbors.
 It declares that Sunday sales licenses provide great revenue to the local government.
 The council advised the governor that large supermarkets, factory outlets and department stores not be allowed to do business on Sunday.
 They operate on a volume basis, it was contended, and are not essential to provide the more limited but vital shopping needs of the community.
 Liberals and conservatives in both parties -- democratic and Republican -- should divorce themselves and form two independent parties, George H. Reama, nationally known labor-management expert, said here yesterday.
 Mr. Reama told the Rotary Club of Providence at its luncheon at the Sheraton-Biltmore Hotel that about half of the people in the country want the welfare type of government and the other half want a free enterprise system. He suggested that a regrouping of forces might allow the average voter a better pull at the right lever for him on election day.
 He said he was confessing that I was a member of the Socialist Party in 1910.
 That, he added, was when he was a very young man, a machinist and toolmaker by trade.
 That was before I studied law.
 Some of my fellow workers were grooming me for an office in the Socialist Party.
 The lawyer with whom I studied law steered me off the Socialist track.
 He steered me to the right track -- the free enterprise track.
 He said that when he was a Socialist in 1910, the party called for government operation of all utilities and the pooling of all resources.
 He suggested that without the Socialist Party ever gaining a national victory, most of its original program has come to pass under both major parties. Mr. Reama, who retired as vice president of the American Screw Co. in 1955 said, both parties in the last election told us that we need a five per cent growth in the gross national product -- but neither told us how to achieve it. He said he favors wage increases for workers -- but manufacturers are caught in a profit squeeze -- and raises should only come when the public is conditioned to higher prices, he added.
 Indicating the way in which he has turned his back on his 1910 philosophy, Mr. Reama said : a Socialist is a person who believes in dividing everything he does not own.
 Mr. Reama, far from really being retired, is engaged in industrial relations counseling.
 A petition bearing the signatures of more than 1,700 Johnston taxpayers was presented to the town council last night as what is hoped will be the first step in obtaining a home rule charter for the town.
 William A. Martinelli, chairman of the Citizens Group of Johnston, transferred the petitions from his left hand to his right hand after the council voted to accept them at the suggestion of Council President Raymond Fortin Sr.
 The law which governs home rule charter petitions states that they must be referred to the chairman of the board of canvassers for verification of the signatures within 10 days and Mr. Martinelli happens to hold that post.
 Mr. Martinelli explained that there should be more than enough signatures to assure the scheduling of a vote on the home rule charter and possible election of a nine member charter commission within 70 days.
 He explained that by law the council must establish procedures for a vote on the issue within 60 days after the board of canvassers completes its work.
 A difference of opinion arose between Mr. Martinelli and John P. Bourcier, town solicitor, over the exact manner in which the vote is handled.
 Mr. Martinelli has, in recent weeks, been of the opinion that a special town meeting would be called for the vote, while Mr. Bourcier said that a special election might be called instead.
 Mr. Bourcier said that he had consulted several Superior Court justices in the last week and received opinions favoring both procedures.
 He assured Mr. Martinelli and the council that he would study the correct method and report back to the council as soon as possible.
 Mr. Martinelli said yesterday that the Citizens Group of Johnston will meet again July 24 to plan further strategy in the charter movement.
 He said that the group has no candidates for the charter commission in mind at present, but that it will undoubtedly endorse candidates when the time comes. After inspiring this, I think we should certainly follow through on it, he declared.
 It has become our responsibility and I hope that the Citizens Group will spearhead the movement.
 He said he would not be surprised if some of the more than 30 members of the group are interested in running on the required non-partisan ballot for posts on the charter commission.
 Our most immediate goal is to increase public awareness of the movement, he indicated, and to tell them what this will mean for the town.
 He expects that if the present timetable is followed a vote will be scheduled during the last week in September.
 Some opposition to the home rule movement started to be heard yesterday, with spokesmen for the town's insurgent Democratic leadership speaking out against the home rule charter in favor of the model municipal league charter.
 Increasing opposition can be expected in coming weeks, it was indicated.
 Misunderstanding of the real meaning of a home rule charter was cited as a factor which has caused the Citizens Group to obtain signatures under what were termed false pretenses.
 Several signers affixed their names, it was learned, after being told that no tax increase would be possible without consent of the General Assembly and that a provision could be included in the charter to have the town take over the Johnston Sanitary District sewer system. Action on a new ordinance permitting motorists who plead guilty to minor traffic offenses to pay fines at the local police station may be taken at Monday's special North Providence Town Council meeting.
 Council president Frank SanAntonio said yesterday he may ask the council to formally request Town Solicitor Michael A. Abatuno to draft the ordinance.
 At the last session of the General Assembly, the town was authorized to adopt such an ordinance as a means of making enforcement of minor offenses more effective.
 Nothing has been done yet to take advantage of the enabling legislation.
 At present all offenses must be taken to Sixth District Court for disposition.
 Local police have hesitated to prosecute them because of the heavy court costs involved even for the simplest offense.
 Plainfield -- James P. Mitchell and Sen. Walter H. Jones J, last night disagreed on the value of using as a campaign issue a remark by Richard J. Hughes, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, that the J is campaigning on the carcass of Eisenhower Republicanism.
 Mitchell was for using it, Jones against, and Sen. Wayne Dumont Jr. J did not mention it when the three Republican gubernatorial candidates spoke at staggered intervals before 100 persons at the Park Hotel.
 The controversial remark was first made Sunday by Hughes at a Westfield Young Democratic Club cocktail party at the Scotch Plains Country Club.
 It was greeted with a chorus of boos by 500 women in Trenton Monday at a forum of the State Federation of Women's Clubs.
 Hughes said Monday, it is the apparent intention of the Republican Party to campaign on the carcass of what they call Eisenhower Republicanism, but the heart stopped beating and the lifeblood congealed after Eisenhower retired.
 Now he's gone, the Republican Party is not going to be able to sell the tattered remains to the people of the state.
 Sunday he had added, we can love Eisenhower the man, even if we considered him a mediocre president but there is nothing left of the Republican Party without his leadership.
 Mitchell said the statement should become a major issue in the primary and the fall campaign.
 How can a man with any degree of common decency charge this?
 He asked.
 The former secretary of labor said he was proud to be an Eisenhower Republican and proud to have absorbed his philosophy while working in his adminstration.
 Mitchell said the closeness of the outcome in last fall's Presidential election did not mean that Eisenhower Republicanism was a dead issue.
 Regrets attack Jones said he regretted Hughes had made a personal attack on a past president.
 He is wrong to inject Eisenhower into this campaign, he said, because the primary is being waged on state issues and I will not be forced into re-arguing an old national campaign.
 The audience last night did not respond with either applause or boos to mention of Hughes' remark.
 Dumont spoke on the merit of having an open primary.
 He then launched into what the issues should be in the campaign.
 State aid to schools, the continuance of railroad passenger service, the proper uses of surplus funds of the Port of New York Authority, and making New Jersey attractive to new industry.
 Decries joblessness Mitchell decried the high rate of unemployment in the state and said the Meyner administration and the Republican-controlled State Senate must share the blame for this. Noting that Plainfield last year had lost the Mack Truck Co. plant, he said industry will not come into this state until there is tax reform.
 But I am not in favor of a sales or state income tax at this time, Mitchell said.
 Jones, unhappy that the candidates were limited to eight minutes for a speech and no audience questions, saved his barbs for Mitchell.
 He said Mitchell is against the centralization of government in Washington but looks to the Kennedy Administration for aid to meet New Jersey school and transportation crises.
 He calls for help while saying he is against centralization, but you can't have it both ways, Jones said.
 The state is now faced with the immediate question of raising new taxes whether on utilities, real estate or motor vehicles, he said, and I challenge Mitchell to tell the people where he stands on the tax issue. Defends Ike earlier, Mitchell said in a statement : I think that all Americans will resent deeply the statements made about President Eisenhower by Richard J. Hughes.
 His reference to discredited carcass or tattered remains of the president's leadership is an insult to the man who led our forces to victory in the greatest war in all history, to the man who was twice elected overwhelmingly by the American people as president of the United States, and who has been the symbol to the world of the peace-loving intentions of the free nations.
 I find it hard to understand how anyone seeking a position in public life could demonstrate such poor judgment and bad taste.
 Such a vicious statement can only have its origin in the desire of a new political candidate to try to make his name known by condemning a man of world stature.
 It can only rebound to Mr. Hughes' discredit.
 Sees Jones ahead Sen. Charles W. Sandman, J May, said today Jones will run well ahead of his J opponents for the gubernatorial nomination.
 Sandman, state campaign chairman for Jones, was addressing a meeting in the Military Park Hotel, Newark, of Essex County leaders and campaign managers for Jones.
 Sandman told the gathering that reports from workers on a local level all over the state indicate that Jones will be chosen the Republican Party's nominee with the largest majority given a candidate in recent years.
 Sandman said : the announcement that Sen. Clifford Case J, has decided to spend all his available time campaigning for Mr. Mitchell is a dead giveaway.
 It is a desperate effort to prop up a sagging candidate who has proven he cannot answer any questions about New Jersey's problems.
 We have witnessed in this campaign the effort to project Mr. Mitchell as the image of a unity candidate from Washington.
 That failed. We are now witnessing an effort to transfer to Mr. Mitchell some of the glow of Sen. Case's candidacy of last year.
 That, too, will fail.
 Sandman announced the appointment of Mrs. Harriet Copeland Greenfield of 330 Woodland Ave., Westfield, as state chairman of the Republican Women for Jones Committee. Mrs. Greenfield is president of the Westfield Women's Republican Club and is a Westfield county committeewoman.
 County Supervisor Weldon R. Sheets, who is a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, today called for an end to paper ballots in those counties in the state which still use them.
 The proposal, Sheets said, represents part of his program for election reforms necessary to make democracy in New Jersey more than a lip service word.
 Sheets said that his proposed law would offer state financing aid for the purchase of voting machines, enabling counties to repay the loan over a 10-year period without interest or charge.
 Sheets added that he would ask for exclusive use of voting machines in the state by January, 1964.
 Although he pointed out that mandatory legislation impinging on home rule is basically distasteful, he added that the vital interest in election results transcended county lines.
 The candidacy of Mayor James J. Sheeran of West Orange, for the Republican nomination for sheriff of Essex County, was supported today by Edward W. Roos, West Orange public safety commissioner.
 Sheeran, a lawyer and former J man is running against the Republican organization's candidate, Freeholder William MacDonald, for the vacancy left by the resignation of Neil Duffy, now a member of the State Board of Tax Appeals.
 My experience as public safety commissioner, Roos said, has shown me that the office of sheriff is best filled by a man with law enforcement experience, and preferably one who is a lawyer. Jim Sheeran fits that description.
 Trenton -- William J. Seidel, state fire warden in the Department of Conservation and Economic Development, has retired after 36 years of service.
 A citation from Conservation Commissioner Salvatore A. Bontempo credits his supervision with a reduction in the number of forest fires in the state.
 Seidel joined the department in 1925 as a division fire warden after graduation in 1921 from the University of Michigan with a degree in forestry and employment with private lumber companies.
 In October 1944, he was appointed state warden and chief of the Forest Fire Section.
 Under his supervision, the state fire-fighting agency developed such techniques as plowing of fire lines and established a fleet of tractor plows and tractor units for fire fighting.
 He also expanded and modernized the radio system with a central control station.
 He introduced regular briefing sessions for district fire wardens and first aid training for section wardens.
 He is credited with setting up an annual co-operative fire prevention program in co-operation with the Red Cross and State Department of Education.
 Boonton -- Richard J. Hughes made his Morris County debut in his bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination here last night with a pledge to carry the issues to every corner of the state.
 He promised nearly 200 Democratic county committee members at the meeting in the Puddingstone Inn : when I come back here after the November election you'll think, you're my man -- elected.
 He said you're the kind of governor we're glad we, we Democrats must resolve our issues on the test of what is right and just, and not what is expedient at the time.
 Attacks Republicans in his only attack on the Republicans, Hughes said, the three Republican candidates for governor are tripping over their feet for popular slogans to win the primary.
 But we'll have a liberal, well planned, forward looking, honest platform.
 We'll not talk out of one side of our mouth in Morris County and out of the other side in Hudson.
 We'll take the truth to the people, and the people will like the truth and elect their candidate and party in November.
 He said, you can see signs of the Republicans' feeble attack on the Meyner administration.
 But I shall campaign on the Meyner record to meet the needs of the years ahead.
 He urged New Jersey to become a full partner in the courageous actions of President Kennedy.
 He called for a greater attraction of industry and a stop to the piracy of industry by Southern states, and a strong fight against discrimination in business and industry.
 We must keep the bloodstream of New Jersey clean, the former Superior Court judge said. To prevent hoodlums from infiltrating the state as they did in the Republican administration in the early 1940s.
 Calling the Democrats the party that lives, breathes and thinks for the good of the people, Hughes asked, a representative Democratic vote in the primary for a springboard toward victory in November. Hughes supported Gov. Meyner's Green Acres plan for saving large tracts of open land from the onrush of urban development.
 He said legislation for a $60 million bond issue to underwrite the program is expected to be introduced Monday.
 Conservation plan the plan will provide $45 million for purchase of open land by the state.
 The other $15 million is to be alloted to municipalities on a matching fund basis.
 Hughes said, this is not a plan to conquer space -- but to conserve it, pointing out the state population has increased 125,000 each year since 1950.
 He said Morris County is rapidly changing and unless steps are taken to preserve the green areas, there will be no land left to preserve.
 Hughes would not comment on tax reforms or other issues in which the Republican candidates are involved.
 He said no matter what stand he takes it would be misconstrued that he was sympathetic to one or the other of the Republicans.
 After the primary, he promised, I'll be explicit on where I stand to bring you a strong, dynamic administration.
 I'm not afraid to tangle with the Republican nominee.
 Trenton -- fifteen members of the Republican State Committee who are retiring -- voluntarily -- this year were honored yesterday by their colleagues.
 The outgoing members, whose four-year terms will expire a week after the April 18 primary election, received carved wooden elephants, complete with ivory tusks, to remember the state committee by.
 There may be other 1961 state committee retirements come April 18, but they will be leaving by choice of the Republican voters.
 A special presentation was made to Mrs. Geraldine Thompson of Red Bank, who is stepping down after 35 years on the committee.
 She also was the original J national committeewoman from New Jersey in the early 1920s following adoption of the women's suffrage amendment.
 She served one four-year term on the national committee.
 Resentment welled up yesterday among Democratic district leaders and some county leaders at reports that Mayor Wagner had decided to seek a third term with Paul R. Screvane and Abraham D. Beame as running mates.
 At the same time reaction among anti-organization Democratic leaders and in the Liberal party to the Mayor's reported plan was generally favorable.
 Some anti-organization Democrats saw in the program an opportunity to end the bitter internal fight within the Democratic party that has been going on for the last three years.
 The resentment among Democratic organization leaders to the reported Wagner plan was directed particularly at the Mayor's efforts to name his own running mates without consulting the leaders.
 Some viewed this attempt as evidence that Mr. Wagner regarded himself as bigger than the party. Opposition reported some Democratic district and county leaders are reported trying to induce State Controller Arthur Levitt of Brooklyn to oppose Mr. Wagner for the Mayoral nomination in the Sept. 7 Democratic primary.
 These contend there is a serious question as to whether Mr. Wagner has the confidence of the Democratic rank and file in the city.
 Their view is that last-minute changes the Mayor is proposing to make in the Democratic ticket only emphasize the weakness of his performance as Mayor.
 In an apparent effort to head off such a rival primary slate, Mr. Wagner talked by telephone yesterday with Representative Charles A. Buckley, the Bronx Democratic leader, and with Joseph T. Sharkey, the Brooklyn Democratic leader.
 Mayor visits Buckley as usual, he made no attempt to get in touch with Carmine G. De Sapio, the Manhattan leader. He is publicly on record as believing Mr. De Sapio should be replaced for the good of the party.
 Last night the Mayor visited Mr. Buckley at the Bronx leader's home for a discussion of the situation.
 Apparently he believes Mr. Buckley holds the key to the Democratic organization's acceptance of his choices for running mates without a struggle.
 In talks with Mr. Buckley last week in Washington, the Mayor apparently received the Bronx leader's assent to dropping Controller Lawrence E. Gerosa, who lives in the Bronx, from this year's ticket.
 But Mr. Buckley seems to have assumed he would be given the right to pick Mr. Gerosa's successor.
 Screvane and Beame hailed the Mayor declined in two interviews with reporters yesterday to confirm or deny the reports that he had decided to run and wanted Mr. Screvane, who lives in Queens, to replace Abe Stark, the incumbent, as the candidate for President of the City Council and Mr. Beame, who lives in Brooklyn, to replace Mr. Gerosa as the candidate for Controller.
 The Mayor spoke yesterday at the United Irish Counties Feis on the Hunter College Campus in the Bronx.
 After his speech, reporters asked him about the report of his political intentions, published in yesterday's New York Times.
 The Mayor said : it didn't come from me.
 But as I have said before, if I announce my candidacy, I will have something definite to say about running mates.
 Boston, June 16 -- a wave of public resentment against corruption in government is rising in Massachusetts.
 There is a tangible feeling in the air of revulsion toward politics.
 The taxi driver taking the visitor from the airport remarks that politicians in the state are all the same.
 It's see Joe, see Jim, he says.
 The hand is out.
 A political scientist writes of the growth of alienated voters, who believe that voting is useless because politicians or those who influence politicians are corrupt, selfish and beyond popular control.
 These voters view the political process as a secret conspiracy, the object of which is to plunder them.
 Corruption is hardly a recent development in the city and state that were widely identified as the locale of Edwin O'Connor's novel, The Last Hurrah.
 But there are reasons for the current spotlight on the subject.
 A succession of highly publicized scandals has aroused the public within the last year.
 Graft in the construction of highways and other public works has brought on state and Federal investigations.
 And the election of President Kennedy has attracted new attention to the ethical climate of his home state.
 A reader of the Boston newspapers can hardly escape the impression that petty chicanery, or worse, is the norm in Massachusetts public life.
 Day after day some new episode is reported.
 The state Public Works Department is accused of having spent $8,555 to build a private beach for a state judge on his waterfront property.
 An assistant attorney general is directed to investigate.
 Washington, June 18 -- Congress starts another week tomorrow with sharply contrasting forecasts for the two chambers.
 In the Senate, several bills are expected to pass without any major conflict or opposition.
 In the House, the Southern-Republican coalition is expected to make another major stand in opposition to the Administration's housing bill, while more jockeying is expected in an attempt to advance the aid-to-education bill.
 The housing bill is now in the House Rules Committee.
 It is expected to be reported out Tuesday, but this is a little uncertain.
 The panel's action depends on the return of Representative James W. Trimble, Democrat of Arkansas, who has been siding with Speaker Sam Rayburn's forces in the Rules Committee in moving bills to the floor. Mr. Trimble has been in the hospital but is expected back Tuesday.
 Leadership is hopeful the housing bill is expected to encounter strong opposition by the coalition of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans.
 The Democratic leadership, however, hopes to pass it sometime this week.
 The $6,100,000,000 measure, which was passed last Monday by the Senate, provides for forty-year mortgages at low down-payments for moderate-income families.
 It also provides for funds to clear slums and help colleges build dormitories.
 The education bill appears to be temporarily stalled in the Rules Committee, where two Northern Democratic members who usually vote with the Administration are balking because of the religious controversy.
 They are James J. Delaney of Queens and Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. of Massachusetts.
 Three groups to meet what could rescue the bill would be some quick progress on a bill amending the National Defense Education Act of 1958.
 This would provide for long-term Federal loans for construction of parochial and other private-school facilities for teaching science, languages and mathematics.
 Mr. Delaney and Mr. O'Neill are not willing to vote on the public-school measure until the defense education bill clears the House Education and Labor Committee.
 About half of all Peace Corps projects assigned to voluntary agencies will be carried out by religious groups, according to an official of the corps.
 In the $40,000,000 budget that has been submitted for Congressional approval, $26,000,000 would be spent through universities and private voluntary agencies.
 Twelve projects proposed by private groups are at the contract-negotiation stage, Gordon Boyce, director of relations with the voluntary agencies, said in a Washington interview.
 Six of these were proposed by religious groups.
 They will be for teaching, agriculture and community development in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
 Question raised interviews with several church leaders have disclosed that this development has raised the question whether the Peace Corps will be able to prevent confusion for church and state over methods, means and goals.
 There are a number of ways this could happen, the churchmen pointed out, and here is an example : last month in Ghana an American missionary discovered when he came to pay his hotel bill that the usual rate had been doubled.
 When he protested, the hotel owner said : why do you worry? The U. S. Government is paying for it.
 The U. S. Government pays for all its overseas workers.
 Missionary explains I don't work for the Government, the American said.
 I'm a missionary.
 The hotel owner shrugged.
 Same thing, he said.
 And then, some churchmen remarked, there is a more classical church-state problem : can religious agencies use Government funds and Peace Corps personnel in their projects and still preserve the constitutional requirement on separation of church and state?
 R. Sargent Shriver Jr., director of the corps, is certain that they can.
 No religious group, he declared in an interview, will receive Peace Corps funds unless it forswears all proselytizing on the project it proposes.
 Moscow, June 18 -- at a gay party in the Kremlin for President Sukarno of Indonesia, Premier Khrushchev pulled out his pockets and said, beaming : look, he took everything I had ] Mr. Khrushchev was jesting in the expansive mood of the successful banker. Indonesia is one of the twenty under-developed countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America that are receiving Soviet aid.
 The Soviet Union and other members of the Communist bloc are rapidly expanding their economic, technical and military assistance to the uncommitted nations.
 The Communist countries allocated more than $1,000,000,000 in economic aid alone last year, according to Western estimates.
 This was the biggest annual outlay since the Communist program for the under-developed countries made its modest beginning in 1954. In 1960 more than 6,000 Communist technicians were present in those countries. United Nations, N. Y., June 18 -- a committee of experts has recommended that a country's population be considered in the distribution of professional posts at the United Nations.
 This was disclosed today by a responsible source amid intensified efforts by the Soviet Union to gain a greater role in the staff and operation of the United Nations.
 One effect of the proposal, which puts a premium on population instead of economic strength, as in the past, would be to take jobs from European nations and give more to such countries as India. India is the most populous United Nations member with more than 400,000,000 inhabitants.
 The new formula for filling staff positions in the Secretariat is one of a number of recommendations made by a panel of eight in a long and detailed report.
 The report was completed after nearly eighteen months of work on the question of the organization of the United Nations.
 Formula is due this week the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions is expected to receive the report this week.
 The jobs formula is understood to follow these lines : each of the organization's ninety-nine members would get two professional posts, such as political affairs officer, a department head or an economist, to start.
 Each member would get one post for each 10,000,000 people in its population up to 150,000,000 people or a maximum of fifteen posts.
 Each member with a population above 150,000,000 would get one additional post for each additional 30,000,000 people up to an unspecified cut-off point.
 Geneva, June 18 -- the three leaders of Laos agreed today to begin negotiations tomorrow on forming a coalition government that would unite the war-ridden kingdom.
 The decision was made in Zurich by Prince Boun Oum, Premier of the pro-Western royal Government ; Prince Souvanna Phouma, leader of the nation's neutralists and recognized as Premier by the Communist bloc, and Prince Souphanouvong, head of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao forces.
 The latter two are half-brothers.
 Their joint statement was welcomed by the Western delegations who will attend tomorrow the nineteenth plenary session of the fourteen-nation conference on the future of Laos.
 An agreement among the Princes on a coalition government would ease their task, diplomats conceded. But no one was overly optimistic.
 Tactics studied in Geneva W. Averell Harriman of the United States, Malcolm MacDonald of Britain, Maurice Couve De Murville, France's Foreign Minister, and Howard C. Green, Canada's Minister of External Affairs, concluded, meanwhile, a round of consultations here on future tactics in the conference.
 The pace of the talks has slowed with each passing week.
 Princess Moune, Prince Souvanna Phouma's young daughter, read the Princes' statement.
 They had a two-hour luncheon together in an atmosphere of cordial understanding and relaxation, she said.
 The three Laotians agreed upon a six-point agenda for their talks, which are to last three days.
 The Princess said it was too early to say what would be decided if no agreement was reached after three days.
 To deal with principles the meetings in Zurich, the statement said, would deal only with principles that would guide the three factors in their search for a coalition Government.
 Appointment of William S. Pfaff Jr., 41, as promotion manager of The Times-Picayune Publishing Company was announced Saturday by John F. Tims, president of the company.
 Pfaff succeeds Martin Burke, who resigned.
 The new promotion manager has been employed by the company since January, 1946, as a commercial artist in the advertising department.
 He is a native of New Orleans and attended Allen Elementary school, Fortier High school and Soule business college.
 From June, 1942, until December, 1945, Pfaff served in the Army Air Corps.
 While in the service he attended radio school at Scott Field in Belleville, Ill.
 Before entering the service, Pfaff for five years did clerical work with a general merchandising and wholesale firm in New Orleans.
 He is married to the former Audrey Knecht and has a daughter, Karol, 13.
 They reside at 4911 Miles Dr. Washington -- thousands of bleacher-type seats are being erected along Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and the White House for the big inaugural parade on Jan. 20.
 Assuming the weather is halfway decent that day, hundreds of thousands of persons will mass along this thoroughfare as President John F. Kennedy and retiring President Dwight D. Eisenhower leave Capitol Hill following the oath-taking ceremonies and ride down this historic ceremonial route.
 Pennsylvania Avenue, named for one of the original 13 states, perhaps is not the most impressive street in the District of Columbia from a commercial standpoint.
 But from a historic viewpoint none can approach it.
 Many buildings within view of the avenue are some of the United States government's tremendous buildings, plus shrines and monuments.
 Of course, 1600 Pennsylvania, the White House, is the most famous address of the free world. Within an easy walk from Capitol Hill where Pennsylvania Avenue comes together with Constitution Avenue, begins a series of great federal buildings, some a block long and all about seven-stories high.
 Great chapters of history have been recorded along the avenue, now about 169 years old.
 In the early spring of 1913 a few hundred thousand persons turned out to watch 5000 women parade. They were the suffragettes and they wanted to vote.
 In the 1920 presidential election they had that right and many of them did vote for the first time. Seats on square along this avenue which saw marching soldiers from the War Between the States returning in 1865 is the National Archives building where hundreds of thousands of this country's most valuable records are kept.
 Also the department of justice building is located where J. Edgar Hoover presides over the federal bureau of investigation.
 Street car tracks run down the center of Pennsylvania, powered with lines that are underground.
 Many spectators will be occupying seats and vantage points bordering Lafayette Square, opposite the White House.
 In this historic square are several statues, but the one that stands out over the others is that of Gen. Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
 Moving past the presidential viewing stand and Lafayette Square will be at least 40 marching units.
 About 16,000 military members of all branches of the armed forces will take part in the parade. Division one of the parade will be the service academies.
 Division two will include the representations of Massachusetts and Texas, the respective states of the President and of Vice-President L. B. Johnson.
 Then will come nine other states in the order of their admission to the union.
 Division three will be headed by the Marines followed by 12 states ; division four will be headed by the Navy, followed by 11 states ; division five, by the Air Force followed by 11 states.
 Division six will be headed by the Coast Guard, followed by the reserve forces of all services, five states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the trust territories and the Canal Zone.
 Jackson, Miss. -- what does 1961 offer in political and governmental developments in Mississippi?
 Even for those who have been observing the political scene a long time, no script from the past is worth very much in gazing into the state's immediate political future.
 This is largely because of the unpredictability of the man who operates the helm of the state government and is the elected leader of its two million inhabitants -- Gov. Ross Barnett.
 Barnett, who came into office with no previous experience in public administration, has surrounded himself with confusion which not only keeps his foes guessing but his friends as well.
 Consequently, it is uncertain after nearly 12 months in office just which direction the Barnett administration will take in the coming year.
 Could be scramble some predict the administration will settle down during 1961 and iron out the rough edges which it has had thus far.
 The builtin headache of the Barnett regime thus far has been the steady stream of job-seekers and others who feel they were given commitments by Barnett at some stage of his eight-year quest for the governor's office.
 There are many who predict that should Barnett decide to call the Legislature back into special session, it will really throw his administration into a scramble.
 Certainly nobody will predict that the next time the lawmakers come back together Barnett will be able to enjoy a re-enactment of the strange but successful honeymoon he had in the 1960 legislative session.
 If Barnett doesn't call a special session in 1961, it will be the first year in the last decade that the Legislature has not met in regular or special session.
 The odds favor a special session, more than likely early in the year.
 Districts issue legislators always get restless for a special session (whether for the companionship or the $22.50 per diem is not certain) and if they start agitating.
 Barnett is not expected to be able to withstand the pressure.
 The issue which may make it necessary to have a session is the highly sensitive problem of cutting the state's congressional districts from six to five to eliminate one congressional seat.
 With eyes focused on the third congressional district, the historic Delta district, and Congressman Frank E. Smith as the one most likely to go, the redistricting battle will put to a test the longstanding power which lawmakers from the Delta have held in the Legislature.
 Mississippi's relations with the national Democratic party will be at a crossroads during 1961, with the first Democratic president in eight years in the White House.
 Split badly during the recent presidential election into almost equally divided camps of party loyalists and independents, the Democratic party in Mississippi is currently a wreck.
 And there has been no effort since the election to pull it back together.
 Future clouded Barnett, as the titular head of the Democratic party, apparently must make the move to reestablish relations with the national Democratic party or see a movement come from the loyalist ranks to completely bypass him as a party functionary.
 With a Democratic administration, party patronage would normally begin to flow to Mississippi if it had held its Democratic solidarity in the November election.
 Now, the picture is clouded, and even J Sens. James O. Eastland and John C. Stennis, who remained loyal to the ticket, are uncertain of their status.
 Reports are that it is more than probable that the four congressmen from Mississippi who did not support the party ticket will be stripped of the usual patronage which flows to congressmen.
 Baton Rouge, La. -- the Gov. Jimmie H. Davis administration appears to face a difficult year in 1961, with the governor's theme of peace and harmony subjected to severe stresses.
 The year will probably start out with segregation still the most troublesome issue.
 But it might give way shortly to another vexing issue -- that of finances in state government.
 The transition from segregation to finances might already be in progress, in the form of an administration proposal to hike the state sales tax from 2 per cent to 3 per cent.
 The administration has said the sales tax proposal is merely part of the segregation strategy, since the revenues from the increase would be dedicated to a grant in aid program.
 But the tardiness of the administration in making the dedication has caused legislators to suspect the tax bill was related more directly to an over-all shortage of cash than to segregation.
 Legislators weary indeed, the administration's curious position on the sales tax was a major factor in contributing to its defeat.
 The administration could not say why $28 million was needed for a grant-in-aid program.
 The effectiveness of the governor in clearing up some of the inconsistencies revolving about the sales tax bill may play a part in determining whether it can muster the required two-thirds vote.
 The tax bill will be up for reconsideration Wednesday in the House when the Legislature reconvenes.
 Davis may use the tax bill as a means to effect a transition from special sessions of the Legislature to normalcy.
 If it fails to pass, he can throw up his hands and say the Legislature would not support him in his efforts to prevent integration.
 He could terminate special sessions of the Legislature.
 Actually, Davis would have to toss in the towel soon anyway.
 Many legislators are already weary and frustrated over the so-far losing battle to block token integration.
 This is not the sort of thing most politicos would care to acknowledge publicly.
 They would like to convey the notion something is being done, even though it is something they know to be ineffectual.
 Underlying concern passage of the sales tax measure would also give Davis the means to effect a transition.
 He could tell the Legislature they had provided the needed funds to carry on the battle. Then he could tell them to go home, while the administration continued to wage the battle with the $28 million in extra revenues the sales tax measure would bring in over an eight months period.
 It is difficult to be certain how the administration views that $28 million, since the views of one leader may not be the same as the views of another one.
 But if the administration should find it does not need the $28 million for a grant-in-aid program, a not unlikely conclusion, it could very well seek a way to use the money for other purposes. This would be in perfect consonance with the underlying concern in the administration -- the shortage of cash.
 It could become an acute problem in the coming fiscal year.
 If the administration does not succeed in passing the sales tax bill, or any other tax bill, it could very well be faced this spring at the fiscal session of the Legislature with an interesting dilemma.
 Since the constitution forbids introduction of a tax bill at a fiscal session, the administration will either have to cut down expenses or inflate its estimates of anticipated revenues.
 Constant problem in either case, it could call a special session of the Legislature later in 1961 to make another stab at raising additional revenues through a tax raiser.
 The prospect of cutting back spending is an unpleasant one for any governor.
 It is one that most try to avoid, as long as they can see an alternative approach to the problem.
 But if all alternatives should be clearly blocked off, it can be expected the Davis administration will take steps to trim spending at the spring session of the state Legislature.
 This might be done to arouse those who have been squeezed out by the trims to exert pressure on the Legislature, so it would be more receptive to a tax proposal later in the year.
 A constant problem confronting Davis on any proposals for new taxes will be the charge by his foes that he has not tried to economize.
 Any tax bill also will revive allegations that some of his followers have been using their administration affiliations imprudently to profit themselves.
 The new year might see some house-cleaning, either genuine or token, depending upon developments, to give Davis an opportunity to combat some of these criticisms.
 City Controller Alexander Hemphill charged Tuesday that the bids on the Frankford Elevated repair project were rigged to the advantage of a private contracting company which had an inside track with the city.
 Estimates of the city's loss in the $344,000 job have ranged as high as $200,000.
 Shortcuts unnoticed Hemphill said that the Hughes Steel Erection Co. contracted to do the work at an impossibly low cost with a bid that was far less than the legitimate bids of competing contractors.
 The Hughes concern then took shortcuts on the project but got paid anyway, Hemphill said.
 The Controller's charge of rigging was the latest development in an investigation which also brought these disclosures Tuesday : the city has sued for the full amount of the $172,400 performance bond covering the contract.
 The Philadelphia Transportation Co. is investigating the part its organization played in reviewing the project.
 The signature of Harold V. Varani, former director of architecture and engineering in the Department of Public Property, appeared on payment vouchers certifying work on the project.
 Varani has been fired on charges of accepting gifts from the contractor.
 Managing Director Donald C. Wagner has agreed to cooperate fully with Hemphill after a period of sharp disagreement on the matter.
 The announcement that the city would sue for recovery on the performance bond was made by City Solicitor David Berger at a press conference following a meeting in the morning with Wagner and other officials of the city and the J as well as representatives of an engineering firm that was pulled off the El project before its completion in 1959.
 Concern bankrupt the Hughes company and the Consolidated Industries, Inc., both of 3646 N. 2d St., filed for reorganization under the Federal bankruptcy law.
 On Monday, the Hughes concern was formally declared bankrupt after its directors indicated they could not draw up a plan for reorganization.
 Business relations between the companies and city have been under investigation by Hemphill and District Attorney James C. Crumlish, Jr.
 Intervenes in case the suit was filed later in the day in Common Pleas Court 7 against the Hughes company and two bonding firms.
 Travelers Indemnity Co. and the Continental Casualty Co. At Berger's direction, the city also intervened in the Hughes bankruptcy case in U. S. District Court in a move preliminary to filing a claim there.
 I am taking the position that the contract was clearly violated, Berger said.
 The contract violations mostly involve failure to perform rehabilitation work on expansion joints along the El track.
 The contract called for overhauling of 102 joints.
 The city paid for work on 75, of which no more than 21 were repaired, Hemphill charged.
 Wide range in bids Hemphill said the Hughes concern contracted to do the repairs at a cost of $500 for each joint.
 The bid from A. Belanger and Sons of Cambridge, Mass., which listed the same officers as Hughes, was $600 per joint.
 But, Hemphill added, bids from other contractors ranged from $2400 to $3100 per joint.
 Berger's decision to sue for the full amount of the performance bond was questioned by Wagner in the morning press conference.
 Wagner said the city paid only $37,500 to the Hughes company.
 We won't know the full amount until we get a full report, Wagner said.
 We can claim on the maximum amount of the bond, Berger said.
 Wagner replied, can't you just see the headline : city hooked for $172,000?
 Know enough to sue Berger insisted that we know enough to sue for the full amount. Douglas M. Pratt, president of the J, who attended the meeting, said the transit company is reviewing the work on the El.
 We want to find out who knew about it, Pratt said.
 Certain people must have known about it.
 The J is investigating the whole matter, Pratt said.
 Samuel D. Goodis, representing the Philadelphia Hotel Association, objected on Tuesday to a proposed boost by the city in licensing fees, saying that occupancy rates in major hotels here ranged from 48 to 74 percent last year.
 Goodis voiced his objection before City Council's Finance Committee.
 For hotels with 1000 rooms, the increased license fee would mean an expense of $5000 a year, Goodis said.
 Testifies at hearing his testimony came during a hearing on a bill raising fees for a wide variety of licenses, permits and city services.
 The new fees are expected to raise an additional $740,000 in the remainder of 1961 and $2,330,000 more a year after that.
 The ordinance would increase the fee for rooming houses, hotels and multi-family dwellings to $5 a room.
 The cost of a license now is $2, with an annual renewal fee of $1.
 Goodis said that single rooms account for 95 percent of the accomodations in some hotels.
 Revenue estimated the city expects the higher rooming house, hotel and apartment house fees to bring in an additional $457,000 a year.
 The increase also was opposed by Leonard Kaplan, spokesman for the Home Builders Association of Philadelphia, on behalf of association members who operate apartment houses.
 A proposal to raise dog license fees drew an objection from Councilwoman Virginia Knauer, who formerly raised pedigreed dogs.
 The ordinance would increase fees from $1 for males and $2 for females to a flat $5 a dog.
 Commissioner replies Mrs. Knauer said she did not think dog owners should be penalized for the city's services to animal care. In reply, Deputy Police Commissioner Howard R. Leary said that the city spends more than $115,000 annually to license and regulate dogs but collects only $43,000 in fees.
 He reported that the city's contributions for animal care included $67,000 to the Women's S.P.C.A. ; $15,000 to pay six policemen assigned as dog catchers and $15,000 to investigate dog bites.
 Backs higher fees city Finance Director Richard J. McConnell indorsed the higher fees, which, he said, had been under study for more than a year.
 The city is not adequately compensated for the services covered by the fees, he said.
 The new fee schedule also was supported by Commissioner of Licenses and Inspections Barnet Lieberman and Health Commissioner Eugene A. Gillis.
 Petitions asking for a jail term for Norristown attorney Julian W. Barnard will be presented to the Montgomery County Court Friday, it was disclosed Tuesday by Horace A. Davenport, counsel for the widow of the man killed last Nov. 1 by Barnard's hit-run car.
 The petitions will be presented in open court to President Judge William F. Dannehower, Davenport said.
 Barnard, who pleaded no defense to manslaughter and hit-run charges, was fined $500 by Judge Warren K. Hess, and placed on two years' probation providing he does not drive during that time. He was caught driving the day after the sentence was pronounced and given a warning.
 Victim of the accident was Robert Lee Stansbery, 39.
 His widow started the circulation of petitions after Barnard was reprimanded for violating the probation.
 The City Planning Commission on Tuesday approved agreements between two redevelopers and the Redevelopment Authority for the purchase of land in the $300,000,000 Eastwick Redevelopment Area project.
 The commission also approved a novel plan that would eliminate traffic hazards for pedestrians in the project.
 One of the agreements calls for the New Eastwick Corp. to purchase a 1311 acre tract for $12,192,865.
 The tract is bounded by Island Ave., Dicks Ave., 61st St., and Eastwick Ave.
 Four parks planned it is designated as Stage 1 Residential on the Redevelopment Authority's master plan and will feature row houses, garden apartments, four small parks, schools, churches, a shopping center and several small clusters of stores.
 The corporation was formed by the Reynolds Metal Co. and the Samuel A. and Henry A. Berger firm, a Philadelphia builder, for work in the project.
 The second agreement permits the authority to sell a 520-acre tract west of Stage 1 Residential to Philadelphia Builders Eastwick Corp., a firm composed of 10 Philadelphia area builders, which is interested in developing part of the project.
 Would bar vehicles the plan for eliminating traffic hazards for pedestrians was developed by Dr. Constantinos A. Doxiadis, former Minister of Reconstruction in Greece and a consulting planner for the New Eastwick Corp. The plan calls for dividing the project into 16 sectors which would be barred to vehicular traffic.
 It provides for a series of landscaped walkways and a central esplanade that would eventually run through the center of the entire two-and-a-half-mile length of the project.
 The esplanade eliminates Grovers Ave., which on original plans ran through the center of the development.
 The esplanade would feature pedestrian bridges over roads in the project.
 Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- the president of the Kansas City local of the International Association of Fire Fighters was severly injured today when a bomb tore his car apart as he left home for work.
 Battalion Chief Stanton M. Gladden, 42, the central figure in a representation dispute between the fire fighters association and the teamsters union, suffered multiple fractures of both ankles.
 He was in Baptist Memorial hospital.
 Ignition sets off blast the battalion chief said he had just gotten into his 1958 model automobile to move it from the driveway of his home so that he could take his other car to work. I'd just turned on the ignition when there was a big flash and I was lying on the driveway, he said.
 Gladden's wife and two of his sons, John, 17, and Jim, 13, were inside the house.
 The younger boy said the blast knocked him out of bed and against the wall.
 Hood flies over house the explosion sent the hood of the car flying over the roof of the house.
 The left front wheel landed 100 feet away.
 Police laboratory technicians said the explosive device, containing either J or nitroglycerine, was apparently placed under the left front wheel. It was first believed the bomb was rigged to the car's starter.
 Gladden had been the target of threatening telephone calls in recent months and reportedly received one last night.
 The fire department here has been torn for months by dissension involving top personnel and the fight between the fire fighters association and the teamsters union.
 Led fight on teamsters Gladden has been an outspoken critic of the present city administration and led his union's battle against the teamsters, which began organizing city firemen in 1959.
 The fire fighters association here offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for the bombing.
 A $500 reward was offered by the association's local in Kansas City, Kas.
 The association said it would post 24 hour guards at Gladden's home and at those of James Mining and Eugene Shiflett.
 Mining is secretary-treasurer of the local and Shiflett is a member of its executive committee.
 Both have been active in the association.
 Ankara, Turkey, Oct. 24 (AP) -- Turkish political leaders bowed today to military pressure and agreed to form an emergency national front government with Gen. Cemal Gursel as president.
 An agreement between the leaders of four parties which contested indecisive elections on Oct. 15 was reached after almost 18 hours of political bargaining under the threat of an army coup d'etat.
 By-passing the military junta which has ruled Turkey since the overthrow of Premier Adnan Menderes 17 months ago, the army general staff, led by Gen. Cedvet Sunay, had set a deadline for the parties to join in a national coalition government.
 The army leaders threatened to form a new military government if the parties failed to sign an eight point protocol agreeing on Gen. Gursel as president.
 Gen. Gursel has headed the military junta the last 17 months.
 The military also had demanded pledges that there would be no changes in the laws passed by the junta and no leaders of the Menderes regime now in prison would be pardoned.
 Party leaders came out of the final meeting apparently satisfied and stated that complete agreement had been reached on a solution to the crisis created by the elections which left no party with enough strength to form a government on its own.
 Vincent G. Ierulli has been appointed temporary assistant district attorney, it was announced Monday by Charles E. Raymond, District Attorney.
 Ierulli will replace Desmond D. Connall who has been called to active military service but is expected back on the job by March 31.
 Ierulli, 29, has been practicing in Portland since November, 1959.
 He is a graduate of Portland University and the Northwestern College of Law.
 He is married and the father of three children.
 Helping foreign countries to build a sound political structure is more important than aiding them economically, E. M. Martin, assistant secretary of state for economic affairs told members of the World Affairs Council Monday night. Martin, who has been in office in Washington, D. C., for 13 months spoke at the council's annual meeting at the Multnomah Hotel.
 He told some 350 persons that the United States' challenge was to help countries build their own societies their own ways, following their own paths.
 We must persuade them to enjoy a way of life which, if not identical, is congenial with ours, he said but adding that if they do not develop the kind of society they themselves want it will lack ritiuality and loyalty.
 Patience needed insuring that the countries have a freedom of choice, he said, was the biggest detriment to the Soviet Union. He cited East Germany where after 15 years of Soviet rule it has become necessary to build a wall to keep the people in, and added, so long as people rebel, we must not give up.
 Martin called for patience on the part of Americans.
 The countries are trying to build in a decade the kind of society we took a century to build, he said.
 By leaving our doors open the United States gives other peoples the opportunity to see us and to compare, he said. Individual help best we have no reason to fear failure, but we must be extraordinarily patient, the assistant secretary said.
 Economically, Martin said, the United States could best help foreign countries by helping them help themselves.
 Private business is more effective than government aid, he explained, because individuals are able to work with the people themselves. The United States must plan to absorb the exported goods of the country, at what he termed a social cost.
 Martin said the government has been working to establish firmer prices on primary products which may involve the total income of one country.
 The Portland school board was asked Monday to take a positive stand towards developing and coordinating with Portland's civil defense more plans for the city's schools in event of attack.
 But there seemed to be some difference of opinion as to how far the board should go, and whose advice it should follow.
 The board members, after hearing the coordination plea from Mrs. Ralph H. Molvar, 1409 J Maplecrest Dr., said they thought they had already been cooperating.
 Chairman C. Richard Mears pointed out that perhaps this was not strictly a school board problem, in case of atomic attack, but that the board would cooperate so far as possible to get the children to where the parents wanted them to go.
 Dr. Melvin W. Barnes, superintendent, said he thought the schools were waiting for some leadership, perhaps on the national level, to make sure that whatever steps of planning they took would be more fruitful, and that he had found that other school districts were not as far along in their planning as this district.
 Los Angeles has said they would send the children to their homes in case of disaster, he said.
 Nobody really expects to evacuate.
 I think everybody is agreed that we need to hear some voice on the national level that would make some sense and in which we would have some confidence in following.
 Mrs. Molvar, who kept reiterating her request that they please take a stand, said, we must have faith in somebody -- on the local level, and it wouldn't be possible for everyone to rush to a school to get their children.
 Dr. Barnes said that there seemed to be feeling that evacuation plans, even for a high school where there were lots of cars might not be realistic and would not work.
 Mrs. Molvar asked again that the board join in taking a stand in keeping with Jack Lowe's program.
 The board said it thought it had gone as far as instructed so far and asked for more information to be brought at the next meeting.
 It was generally agreed that the subject was important and the board should be informed on what was done, is going to be done and what it thought should be done.
 Salem (AP) -- the statewide meeting of war mothers Tuesday in Salem will hear a greeting from Gov. Mark Hatfield.
 Hatfield also is scheduled to hold a public United Nations Day reception in the state capitol on Tuesday.
 His schedule calls for a noon speech Monday in Eugene at the Emerald Empire Kiwanis Club.
 He will speak to Willamette University Young Republicans Thursday night in Salem.
 On Friday he will go to Portland for the swearing in of Dean Bryson as Multnomah County Circuit Judge.
 He will attend a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee Saturday in Portland and see the Washington-Oregon football game. Beaverton School District No. 48 board members examined blueprints and specifications for two proposed junior high schools at a Monday night workshop session.
 A bond issue which would have provided some $3.5 million for construction of the two 900-student schools was defeated by district voters in January.
 Last week the board, by a 4 to 3 vote, decided to ask voters whether they prefer the 6-3-3 (junior high school) system or the 8-4 system.
 Board members indicated Monday night this would be done by an advisory poll to be taken on Nov. 15, the same date as a $581,000 bond election for the construction of three new elementary schools.
 Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg will speak Sunday night at the Masonic Temple at a $25-a-plate dinner honoring Sen. Wayne L. Morse, J.
 The dinner is sponsored by organized labor and is scheduled for 7 p.m.
 Secretary Goldberg and Sen. Morse will hold a joint press conference at the Roosevelt Hotel at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Blaine Whipple, executive secretary of the Democratic Party of Oregon, reported Tuesday.
 Other speakers for the fund-raising dinner include Reps. Edith Green and Al Ullman, Labor Commissioner Norman Nilsen and Mayor Terry Schrunk, all Democrats.

 A stronger stand on their beliefs and a firmer grasp on their future were taken Friday by delegates to the 29th general council of the Assemblies of God, in session at the Memorial Coliseum.
 The council revised, in an effort to strengthen, the denomination's 16 basic beliefs adopted in 1966.
 The changes, unanimously adopted, were felt necessary in the face of modern trends away from the Bible.
 The council agreed it should more firmly state its belief in and dependence on the Bible.
 At the adoption, the Rev. T. F. Zimmerman, general superintendent, commented, The Assemblies of God has been a bulwark for fundamentalism in these modern days and has, without compromise, stood for the great truths of the Bible for which men in the past have been willing to give their lives.
 New point added many changes involved minor editing and clarification ; however, the first belief stood for entire revision with a new third point added to the list.
 The first of 16 beliefs of the denomination, now reads : the scriptures, both Old and New Testament, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
 The third belief, in six points, emphasizes the Diety of the Lord Jesus Christ, and : -- emphasizes the Virgin birth -- the sinless life of Christ -- his miracles -- his substitutionary work on the cross -- his bodily resurrection from the dead -- and His exaltation to the right hand of God.
 Super again elected Friday afternoon the Rev. T. F. Zimmerman was reelected for his second consecutive two-year term as general superintendent of Assemblies of God.
 His offices are in Springfield, Mo.
 Election came on the nominating ballot.
 Friday night the delegates heard the need for their forthcoming program, Breakthrough scheduled to fill the churches for the next two years.
 In his opening address Wednesday the Rev. Mr. Zimmerman, urged the delegates to consider a 10-year expansion program, with Breakthrough the theme for the first two years.
 The Rev. R. L. Brandt, national secretary of the home missions department, stressed the need for the first two years' work.
 Surveys show that one out of three Americans has vital contact with the church.
 This means that more than 100 million have no vital touch with the church or religious life, he told delegates Friday.
 Church loses pace talking of the rapid population growth (upwards of 12,000 babies born daily) with an immigrant entering the United States every 1-1/2 minutes, he said our organization has not been keeping pace with this challenge.
 In 35 years we have opened 7,000 churches, the Rev. Mr. Brandt said, adding that the denomination had a national goal of one church for every 10,000 persons.
 In this light we need 1,000 churches in Illinois, where we have 200 ; 800 in Southern New England, we have 60 ; we need 100 in Rhode Island, we have none, he said.
 To step up the denomination's program, the Rev. Mr. Brandt suggested the vision of 8,000 new Assemblies of God churches in the next 10 years.
 To accomplish this would necessitate some changes in methods, he said.
 Church meets change the church's ability to change her methods is going to determine her ability to meet the challenge of this hour.
 A capsule view of proposed plans includes : -- encouraging by every means, all existing Assemblies of God churches to start new churches.
 -- engaging mature, experienced men to pioneer or open new churches in strategic population centers.
 -- surrounding pioneer pastors with vocational volunteers (laymen, who will be urged to move into the area of new churches in the interest of lending their support to the new project).
 -- arranging for ministerial graduates to spend from 6-12 months as apprentices in well-established churches.
 U.S. Dist. Judge Charles L. Powell denied all motions made by defense attorneys Monday in Portland's insurance fraud trial. Denials were of motions of dismissal, continuance, mistrial, separate trial, acquittal, striking of testimony and directed verdict.
 In denying motions for dismissal, Judge Powell stated that mass trials have been upheld as proper in other courts and that a person may join a conspiracy without knowing who all of the conspirators are.
 Attorney Dwight L. Schwab, in behalf of defendant Philip Weinstein, argued there is no evidence linking Weinstein to the conspiracy, but Judge Powell declared this is a matter for the jury to decide.
 Proof lack charged Schwab also declared there is no proof of Weinstein's entering a conspiracy to use the U.S. mails to defraud, to which federal prosecutor A. Lawrence Burbank replied : it is not necessary that a defendant actually have conpired to use the U.S. mails to defraud as long as there is evidence of a conspiracy, and the mails were then used to carry it out.
 In the afternoon, defense attorneys began the presentation of their cases with opening statements, some of which had been deferred until after the government had called witnesses and presented its case.
 Miami, Fla., March 17 -- the Orioles tonight retained the distinction of being the only winless team among the eighteen Major-League clubs as they dropped their sixth straight spring exhibition decision, this one to the Kansas City Athletics by a score of 5 to 3.
 Indications as late as the top of the sixth were that the Birds were to end their victory draught as they coasted along with a 3-to-o advantage.
 Siebern hits homer over the first five frames, Jack Fisher, the big righthander who figures to be in the middle of Oriole plans for a drive on the 1961 American League pennant, held the J scoreless while yielding three scattered hits.
 Then Dick Hyde, submarine-ball hurler, entered the contest and only five batters needed to face him before there existed a 3-to-3 deadlock.
 A two-run homer by Norm Siebern and a solo blast by Bill Tuttle tied the game, and single runs in the eighth and ninth gave the Athletics their fifth victory in eight starts. House throws wild with one down in the eighth, Marv Throneberry drew a walk and stole second as Hyde fanned Tuttle.
 Catcher Frank House's throw in an effort to nab Throneberry was wide and in the dirt.
 Then Heywood Sullivan, Kansas City catcher, singled up the middle and Throneberry was across with what proved to be the winning run.
 Rookie southpaw George Stepanovich relieved Hyde at the start of the ninth and gave up the J fifth tally on a walk to second baseman Dick Howser, a wild pitch, and Frank Cipriani's single under Shortstop Jerry Adair's glove into center.
 The Orioles once again performed at the plate in powderpuff fashion, gathering only seven blows off the offerings of three Kansas City pitchers.
 Three were doubles, Brooks Robinson getting a pair and Marv Breeding one.
 Hartman impressive Bill Kunkel, Bob Hartman and Ed Keegan did the mound chores for the club down from West Palm Beach to play the game before 767 paying customers in Miami Stadium.
 The Birds got five hits and all three of their runs off Kunkel before Hartman took over in the top of the fourth.
 Hartman, purchased by the J from the Milwaukee Braves last fall, allowed no hits in his scoreless three-inning appearance, and merited the triumph.
 Keegan, a 6-foot-3-inch 158-pounder, gave up the Orioles' last two safeties over the final three frames, escaping a load of trouble in the ninth when the Birds threatened but failed to tally.
 Robinson doubles again in the ninth, Robinson led off with his second double of the night, a blast off the fence 375 feet deep into left.
 Whitey Herzog, performing in right as the Orioles fielded possibly their strongest team of the spring, worked Keegan for a base on balls.
 Then three consecutive pinch-hitters failed to produce.
 Pete Ward was sent in for House and, after failing in a bunt attempt, popped to Howser on the grass back of short.
 John Powell, batting for Adair, fanned after fouling off two 2-and-2 pitches, and Buddy Barker, up for Stepanovich, bounced out sharply to Jerry Lumpe at second to end the 2-hour-and-27-minute contest.
 The Orioles got a run in the first inning when Breeding, along with Robinson, the two Birds who got a pair of hits, doubled to right center, moved to third on Russ Snyder's single to right and crossed on Kunkel's wild pitch into the dirt in front of the plate.
 The Flock added a pair of tallies in the third on three straight hits after two were out.
 Jackie Brandt singled deep into the hole at short to start the rally.
 Lumpe errs Jim Gentile bounced a hard shot off Kunkel's glove and beat it out for a single, and when Lumpe grabbed the ball and threw it over first baseman Throneberry's head Brandt took third and Gentile second on the error.
 Then Robinson slammed a long double to left center to score both runners.
 When Robinson tried to stretch his blow into a triple, he was cut down in a close play at third, Tuttle to Andy Carey. The detailed rundown on the Kansas City scoring in the sixth went like this : Lumpe worked a walk as the first batter to face Hyde and romped around as Siebern blasted Hyde's next toss 415 feet over the scoreboard in right center. Carey singles Carey singled on a slow-bouncing ball to short which Robinson cut across to field and threw wide to first.
 It was ruled a difficult chance and a hit.
 Then Throneberry rapped into a fast double play.
 Breeding to Adair to Gentile, setting up Tuttle's 390-foot homer over the wall in left center.
 If the Orioles are to break their losing streak within the next two days, it will have to be at the expense of the American League champion New York Yankees, who come in here tomorrow for a night game and a single test Sunday afternoon. Miami, Fla., March 17 -- the flavor of Baltimore's Florida Grapefruit League news ripened considerably late today when the Orioles were advised that Ron Hansen has fulfilled his obligations under the Army's military training program and is ready for belated spring training.
 Hansen, who slugged the 1960 Oriole high of 22 homers and drove in 86 runs on a.255 Freshman average, completes the Birds' spring squad at 49 players.
 The big, 22-year-old shortstop, the 1960 American league rookie-of-the-year, flew here late this afternoon from Baltimore, signed his contract for an estimated $15,000 and was a spectator at tonight's 5-to-3 loss to Kansas City -- the winless Birds' sixth setback in a row.
 15 pounds lighter the 6-foot 3-inch Hansen checked in close to 200 pounds, 15 pounds lighter than his reporting weight last spring.
 He hopes to melt off an additional eight pounds before the Flock breaks camp three weeks hence.
 When he was inducted into the Army at Fort Knox, Ky., Hansen's weight had dropped to 180 -- too light for me to be at my best he said.
 I feel good physically, Hansen added, but I think I'll move better carrying a little less weight than I'm carrying now.
 Seeks improved fielding the rangy, Albany (Cal.) native, a surprise slugging sensation for the Flock last year as well as a defensive whiz, set improved fielding as his 1961 goal.
 I think I can do a better job with the glove, now that I know the hitters around the league a little better, he said.
 Hansen will engage in his first workout at Miami Stadium prior to the opening tomorrow night of a two-game weekend series with the New York Yankees.
 Skinny Brown and Hoyt Wilhelm, the Flock's veteran knuckleball specialists, are slated to oppose the American League champions in tomorrow's 8 P.M. contest.
 Duren, Sheldon on hill Ryne Duren and Roland Sheldon, a rookie righthander who posted a 15-1 record last year for the Yanks' Auburn (N.Y.) farm club of the Class-D New York-Pennsylvania League, are the probable rival pitchers.
 Twenty-one-year-old Milt Pappas and Jerry Walker, 22, are scheduled to share the Oriole mound chores against the Bombers' Art Ditmar in Sunday's 2 P.M. encounter.
 Ralph Houk, successor to Casey Stengel at the Yankee helm, plans to bring the entire New York squad here from St. Petersburg, including Joe Dimaggio and large crowds are anticipated for both weekend games. The famed Yankee Clipper, now retired, has been assisting as a batting coach. Squad cut near pitcher Steve Barber joined the club one week ago after completing his hitch under the Army's accelerated wintertime military course, also at Fort Knox, Ky.
 The 22-year-old southpaw enlisted earlier last fall than did Hansen.
 Baltimore's bulky spring-training contingent now gradually will be reduced as Manager Paul Richards and his coaches seek to trim it down to a more streamlined and workable unit.
 Take a ride on this one, Brooks Robinson greeted Hansen as the Bird third sacker grabbed a bat, headed for the plate and bounced a third-inning two-run double off the left-centerfield wall tonight.
 It was the first of two doubles by Robinson, who was in a mood to celebrate.
 Just before game time, Robinson's pretty wife, Connie informed him that an addition to the family can be expected late next summer. Unfortunately, Brooks's teammates were not in such festive mood as the Orioles expired before the seven-hit pitching of three Kansas City rookie hurlers. Hansen arrived just before nightfall, two hours late, in company with Lee MacPhail ; J. A. W. Iglehart, chairman of the Oriole board of directors, and Public Relations Director Jack Dunn.
 Their flight was delayed, Dunn said, when a boarding ramp inflicted some minor damage to the wing of the plane. Ex-Oriole Clint Courtney, now catching for the J is all for the American League's 1961 expansion to the West Coast.
 But they shouldda brought in Tokyo, too, added Old Scrapiron.
 Then we'd really have someplace to go.
 Bowie, Md., March 17 -- gaining her second straight victory, Norman B., Small, Jr.'s Garden Fresh, a 3-year-old filly, downed promising colts in the $4,500 St. Patrick's Day Purse, featured seventh race here today, and paid $7.20 straight.
 Toying with her field in the early stages, Garden Fresh was asked for top speed only in the stretch by Jockey Philip Grimm and won by a length and a half in 1.24 3-5 for the 7 furlongs.
 8,280 attend races Richard M. Forbes's Paget, which had what seemed to be a substantial lead in the early stages, tired rapidly nearing the wire and was able to save place money only a head in front of Glen T. Hallowell's Milties Miss.
 A bright sun and brisk wind had the track in a fast condition for the first time this week and 8,280 St. Patty Day celebrants bet $842,617 on the well-prepared program.
 Prior to the featured race, the stewards announced that apprentice James P. Verrone is suspended ten days for crowding horses and crossing the field sharply in two races on Wednesday. Culmone gets first win Garden Fresh, the result of a mating of Better Self and Rosy Fingered, seems to improve with each start and appeared to win the St. Patrick's Day Purse with some speed in reserve.
 She was moving up to the allowance department after winning a $10,000 claiming event.
 Cleveland, March 17 (AP) -- George Kerr, the swift-striding Jamaican, set a meet record in the 600-yard run in the Knights of Columbus track meet tonight, beating Purdue's Dave Mills in a hot duel in 1.10.1.
 Kerr, who set the world record earlier this month in New York with a clocking of 1.09.3, wiped out Mills's early pace and beat the young Big 10 quarter-mile king by 5 yards.
 Both were under the meet mark of 1.10.8 set in 1950 by Mal Whitfield.
 Mills shot out in front and kept the lead through two thirds of the race.
 Then Kerr, a graduate student from Illinois, moved past him on a straightaway and held off Mills's challenge on the final turn.
 Mills was timed in 1.10.4.
 The crowd at the twenty-first annual K. of C. Games, final indoor meet of the season, got a thrill a few minutes earlier when a slender, bespectacled woman broke the one-week-old world record in the half-mile run.
 Mrs. Grace Butcher, of nearby Chardon, a 27-year-old housewife who has two children, finished in 2.21.6.
 She snapped five tenths of a second off the mark set by Helen Shipley, of Wellsley College, in the National A.A.U. meet in Columbus, Ohio.
 San Francisco, March 17 (AP) -- Bobby Waters of Sylvania, Ga., relief quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League, will undergo a knee operation tomorrow at Franklin Hospital here.
 Waters injured his left knee in the last game of the 1960 season.
 While working out in Sylvania a swelling developed in the knee and he came here to consult the team physician.
 St. Petersburg, Fla., March 17 (AP) -- two errors by New York Yankee shortstop Tony Kubek in the eleventh inning donated four unearned runs and a 5-to-2 victory to the Chicago White Sox today.
 Austin, Texas -- a Texas halfback who doesn't even know the team's plays, Eldon Moritz, ranks fourth in Southwest Conference scoring after three games.
 Time stands still every time Moritz, a 26-year-old Army Signal Corps veteran, goes into the field.
 Although he never gets to play while the clock is running, he gets a big kick -- several every Saturday, in fact -- out of football.
 Moritz doesn't even have a nose guard or hip pads but he's one of the most valuable members of the Longhorn team that will be heavily favored Saturday over Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.
 That's because he already has kicked 14 extra points in 15 tries.
 He ran his string of successful conversions this season to 13 straight before one went astray last Saturday night in the 41-8 slaughter of Washington State.
 Moritz is listed on the Longhorn roster as a right halfback, the position at which he lettered on the 1956 team.
 But ask coach Darrell Royal what position he plays and you'll get the quick response, place-kicker.
 A 208-pound, 6-foot 1-inch senior from Stamford, Moritz practices nothing but place-kicking.
 Last year, when he worked out at halfback all season, he didn't get into a single game.
 This year, coach Royal told me if I'd work on my place-kicking he thought he could use me, said Moritz.
 So I started practicing on it in spring training.
 Moritz was bothered during the first two games this year by a pulled muscle in the thigh of his right (kicking) leg and, as a result, several of his successful conversions have gone barely far enough.
 Moritz said Monday his leg feels fine and, as a result, he hopes to start practicing field goals this week.
 He kicked several while playing at Stamford High School, including one that beat Anson, 3-0, in a 1953 district game.
 I kicked about 110 extra points in 135 tries during three years in high school, he said, and made 26 in a row at one time.
 I never did miss one in a playoff game -- I kicked about 20 in the five playoff games my last two years.
 Moritz came to Texas in 1954 but his freshman football efforts were hampered by a knee injury.
 He missed the 1955 season because of an operation on the ailing knee, then played 77 minutes in 1956. His statistical record that year, when Texas won only one game and lost nine, was far from impressive : he carried the ball three times for a net gain of 10 yards, punted once for 39 yards and caught one pass for 13 yards.
 He went into the Army in March, 1957, and returned two years later.
 But he was scholastically ineligible in 1959 and merely present last season.
 Place kicking is largely a matter of timing, Moritz declared.
 Once you get the feel of it, there's not much to it.
 I've tried to teach some of the other boys to kick and some of them can't seem to get the feel.
 Practice helps you to get your timing down.
 It's kind of like golf -- if you don't swing a club very often, your timing gets off.
 Moritz, however, kicks only about 10 or 12 extra points during each practice session.
 If you kick too much, your leg gets kinda dead, he explained.
 Footnotes : in their first three games, the Longhorns have had the ball 41 times and scored 16 times, or 40 per cent ; their total passing yardage in three games, 447 on 30 completions in 56 attempts, is only 22 yards short of their total passing yardage in 1959, when they made 469 on 37 completions in 86 tries.
 Tailback James Saxton already has surpassed his rushing total for his brilliant sophomore season, when he netted 271 yards on 55 carries ; he now has 273 yards in 22 tries during three games.
 Saxton has made only one second-half appearance this season and that was in the Washington State game, for four plays : he returned the kickoff 30 yards, gained five yards through the line and then uncorked a 56-yard touchdown run before retiring to the bench.
 Wingback Jack Collins injured a knee in the Washington State game but insists he'll be ready for Oklahoma.
 Last week, when Royal was informed that three Longhorns were among the conference's top four in rushing, he said : that won't last long.
 It didn't ; Monday, he had four Longhorns in the top four.
 A good feeling prevailed on the J coaching staff Monday, but attention quickly turned from Saturday's victory to next week's problem : Rice University.
 The Mustangs don't play this week.
 We're just real happy for the players, Coach Bill Meek said of the 9-7 victory over the Air Force Academy.
 I think the big thing about the game was that our kids for the third straight week stayed in there pitching and kept the pressure on.
 It was the first time we've been ahead this season (when John Richey kicked what proved to be the winning field goal).
 Assistant coach John Cudmore described victory as a good feeling, I think, on the part of the coaches and the players.
 We needed it and we got it.
