Top Republicans Lash
Record of Democrats
By DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer
Nelson A. Rockefeller and
Barry Goldwater teamed up for
a twin-barrel assault on Presi
dent Kennedy last night.
The New York Governor ac
cused Mr. Kennedy of "political
fakery” on civil rights and the
Arizona Senator blamed the
Democrats for the swollen sur
plus stockpiles.
The potential rivals for the
1964 Republican presidential
nomination joined forces
against Mr. Kennedy as former
President Eisenhower urged
G. O. P. leaders to submerge
their internal differences, dis
card “conservative” and “lib
eral” labels and unite to win
the 1962 campaign.
All three men were seen on
a closed-circuit television pro
gram linking SIOO-a-plate fund
raising dinners in 17 cities.
Former Vice President Nixon,
who was to have shared stellar
billing with them, was confined
to his California home with
what doctors described as a
virus infection. (
Some 800 persons turned out
for the Washington dinner in
the Mayflower Hotel from which
Republican National Chairman
William E. Miller directed the
cross - country speaking pro
gram.
There were scattered boos for
Gov. Rockefeller from the
Washington audience when he
first appeared on the screen
from the rally he was address
ing in Des Moines.
But the Washingtonians
joined the Des Moines audience
in cheering the Governor when
he laid down his barrage on
President Kennedy.
The New Yorker said Mr.
Kennedy’s proposal to create a
Department of Urban Affairs
was "a subterfuge to bypass
the constitutional sovereignty
of the States and to gain di
rect political control over the
Nation’s big cities.”
He charged “political fakery”
in the President’s press con
ference statement that he
plans to name Dr. Robert C.
Weaver, a Negro and the head
of the Housing and Home Fi
nance Agency, to head the new
cabinet department.
Gov. Rockefeller said “it was
the Democratic Party, which
was responsible for the legisla
tion and had the votes to pass
it,” that killed the bill.
Timing Questioned
“And yet,” he said, “we read
of the President blaming its
defeat and by implication—
racial discrimination on the
Republican Party.
“If the President is so con
cerned about naming an out
standing Negro to the cabinet,
why wasn’t*Dr. Weaver ap-

pointed to the cabinet in the
first place? He found a cabinet
post for his brother—all right.
But he didn’t find one for Bob
Weaver.”
The whole maneuver, Gov.
Rockefeller said, was “dema
goguery and deception ... a
dishonest attempt to cover up
the deep and paralyzing differ
ence within the Democratic
Party—its inability to work as
a team—its built-in incapacity
to govern effectively—and its
lack of fundamental dedication
to civil rights.”
Senator Goldwater, coming on
the television screen from
Cleveland a few minutes later,
said to the Governor, "Nelson,
I was glad to hear you call
the President to task.”
Then he departed from his
own prepared text to lash Mr.
Kennedy’s declaration Wednes
day that he favored an in
vestigation of the Government
program of storing what he
called excessive amounts of sur
plus strategic materials.
“The President said he was
astonished at the size of the
stockpile,” Senator Goldwater
jibed. “All he had to do was
read (Senator) Harry Byrd’s
monthly report and he could
have kept himself from being
astonished and all shook up.”
Traced to Roosevelt
The stockpiling, Senator
Goldwater said, began under
President Roosevelt, continued
under President Truman “and
by the time the Eisenhower
administration came in, all but
three contracts had been made.
“This is a situation caused
by the Democratic Party,” he
said, “and if the investigation
is honest it will show the bad
decisions and poor judgment of
the Democratic Party.”
The personal attacks on the
President by both Senator
Goldwater and Gov. Rockefeller
launched the 1962 Republican
campaign on a sharper partisan
note than had been expected.
In recent months, most G. O. P.
orators have avoided personal
criticism of Mr. Kennedy, while
assailing his policies and some
of his advisers.
Gen. Eisenhower, in his
speech from Los Angeles, of
fered no direct criticism of his
successor.
“There is no need to take
time here,” he said, “to criticize
and attack the policies and ac
tions of our political opponents,
although those opponents have
provided a vast and inviting
field for such an assault by
any good Republican.”
Instead, Gen. Eisenhower de
voted himself to offering a
prescription for more frequent
Republican victories.
The G. O. P. program, em
phasizing “personal, political
and economic freedom and fis
cal responsibility,” is “vastly
superior to anything our op
ponents can offer,” the former
President said. It has not been
Moves to 'Thin Out'
Labor Supply Proposed
■ ■
Democratic Senators Prox
mire of Wisconsin and Douglas
of Illinois suggest that the
Government try to cure unem
ployment by reducing the sup
ply of labor instead of concen
trating so much on building up
demand for it.
In a report released yester
day, they said the labor supply
[could be cut back by encour
aging early retirement of work
ers, trying to keep youths in
school longer, reducing hours
in the work week and extend
ing vacations.
I Increased demand also is im-
I portant in the campaign
'against unemployment, the
Senators said, but it is diffi
cult to boost demand over the
I long run.
I Most Government efforts to
reduce unemployment, the re
port said, concentrate on in
creasing purchasing power
through Federal spending dur
ing recessions. But, it con
tinued, joblessness has become
a serious problem, even in
prosperous times, so it is not
enough merely to cushion

OUTLAYS FOR MONKEY STUDY
HIT BY BYRD AS DEBT GROWS
Senator Harry F. Byrd, Democrat of Virginia, com
plained today that the Government, while running the
national debt up close to S3OO billion, is planning to spend
, about $1.2 million over a six-year period to study the
“affectional relationship of an infant monkey and his
' mother.”
' The Chairman of the Joint Committee on Non-
Essential Federal Expenditures said he also had infor
mation that the Government has research programs in
tended to study “biological control of snails by shell
cracker sunfish, and another for the study of diving
reflex and volume receptors in the seal.”
Senator Byrd said it is difficult to be critical of
health research but added: “It seems to me that much
more care should be exercised in the expenditure of
taxpayers’ money, even in this Important area.”
He pointed out that over the last five years Congress
has appropriated more than $2.3 billion for the National
Institutes of Health.
i
■ indorsed by the voters in re-
■ cent presidential and congres-
■ sional elections because “our
marketing system is not good
enough.”
To improve it, he called
for strengthened Republican
organization, more "dedicated
and energetic leaders” and
more adequate financing of
party affairs. But he placed
his greatest emphasis on steps
to “assure and maintain the
unity of the entire force.”
“The little details of doctrine
that may seem to divide us are
not nearly as important as the
basic principles that unite us,”
Gen. Eisenhower said. “But any
divisions among us that may
be created at times by inordi
nate personal ambition or by
the use of diverse and con
fusing words and definitions
can be harmful.”
He suggested Republicans
“should discard . . . such shop
worn and meaningless terms as
‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’. . . .
Instead of trying to describe
what we are, why not say what
we are for . . . Responsible
progress, by and for free in
dividuals.”

Supply and demand are the
major factors in unemploy
ment, the Senators said, main
taining that “structural” un
employment is a relatively
minor factor. Structural un
employment is characterized by
inability to match jobless
workers with available open
ings.
Senators Proxmire and Doug
las said specific policies should
aim at reducing whatever
structural unemployment does
exist. Among programs they
mentioned were retraining and
relocation of jobless workers.
The report was filed by Sen
ator Proxmire’s subcommittee
of the Senate-House Economic
Committee.
Representative Curtis, Re
publican of Missouri, filbd a i

Democrats’ “negative ap-[

Vatican Lists
Council Dates
VATICAN CITY, Feb. 2 (AP).
—Pope John XXIII announced
today that the Roman Catholic
Church’s ecumenical council
will meet October 11.
The Pope proclaimed the
opening date for the 21st world
wide conclave in the history of
the church—the first in nearly
100 years—in a “motu proporio,”
a Latin document whose title
means “by his own will, or
decision.”
He said he chose the date
after long consideration to re
call the Ecumenical Council of
Ephesus in 431, convened by
Pope Celestine I.
The Council of Ephesus on
October 11, 431, proclaimed
that the Virgin Mary was the
mother of God.
To be known as “Vatican II,”
the council will bring to Rome
some 3,000 leaders of the
Catholic church arid will con
cern itself primarily with in
ternal affairs of the church.
It also will deal with the
growing movement of Christian
unity, and Pope John is ex
pected to invite other Christian
churches to send observers. The
Pontiff has already established
a secretariat for unity to
facilitate this.
The Pope has made it clear
that he considers the council
probably the most important
event of his pontificate. He
has been preparing the council
almost from the day of his elec
tion three years ago.
In his proclamation. Pope
John expressed hope that the
council would strengthen the
church, spread its benefits to
j mankind and aid in bringing
[true peace to the world.
[ The Pontiff in a papal bull
jon Christmas Day convoking
| the council expressed the hope
that it would serve as a step
toward Christian unity. But he
made clear that the Roman
Catholic Church still looks to a
return of “the separated broth
ers” and not a confederation of
churches in which authority
would be shared.

Stennis Hopes
To Bar Clash
On Censorship
By CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer
Senator Stennis, Democrat of
Mississippi, and Defense Secre
tary McNamara today con
ferred on the censorship
investigation in an effort to
avoid what Senator Stennis
called “an all-out clash.”
The threat of a clash arose
when Mr. McNamara refused to
permit Defense officials to tell
a Senate Armed Services sub
committee the names of Penta
gon censors who reviewed par
ticular speeches. The sub
committee is investigating
charges that military leaders
have been muzzled in talking
about the menace of commu
nism.
With public hearings re
cessed until next week, Sub
committee Chairman Stennis
said he and Mr. McNamara
would discuss the matter before
the subcommittee decides on
what to do next.
“I hope we can agree on
something! that would be short
of an all-out clash,” Senator
Stennis said before he and Mr.
McNamara met in the Sen
ator’s office.
Asked by a reporter if he
expected to work out a com
promise or some arrangement
for “peaceful coexistence,” Sen
ator Stennis retorted that he
had not said anything about
a compromise. He added that
he had made it clear earlier
that the subcommittee will
exert its full powers in the
investigation.
The subcommittee chairman
said his meeting with Mr. Mc-
Namara should reveal the Sec
retary’s fi.ial position in the
matter.
Meanwh.le, sources close to
Mr. McNamara said that he
is determined to keep his sub
ordinate speech-clearing offi
cers from testifying and also
to keep from invoking the
doctrine of executive privilege.
Mr. McNamara, it was said
authoritatively, feels very
strongly that it would damage
morale and unity in the De-
partment if he allowed the
men to be pilloried or em
barrassed in public for doing
a job ordered by higher offi
cials.
If the men did wrong, be is
convinced, the blame is his and
he should answer for the mis
takes.
Hopes for Agreement
• At the same time, he is re-
J ported to believe that the ex
r ecutive privilege doctrine can
1 create an unfortunate impres
sion that an official is taking
i a “Fifth Amendment” in order
1 to hide guilt. So although the
f legal opinion given him by the
' Justice Department is that he
can use executive privilege
‘ properly in this case, he is per
r sonally determined not to re
sort to it.
s Mr. McNamara believed a
- clash could be averted by his
f informal meeting with subcom
t mittee members today. If these
negotiations fail, however, the
1 possibility arises that he could
1 be cited for contempt of Con
» gress and be forced then to
choose either to sacrifice his
• subordinates, use ’the executive
> privilege doctrine or go to
> court.
Lincoln White, State Depart
. ment press officer, told a re
porter today the department
, would follow the same policy
' as Mr. McNamara on the. issue.
Mr. White said the subcom
’ mittee would receive a list of
‘ the department’s censors if it
j asks for this, but that the list
would not show which of them
had handled specific speeches.
. Pentagon speeches that touch
. on foreign policy require clear
' ance by both Pentagon and
, State Department censors.

' crat of South Carolina, joined .

Senator Thurmond, whose •
attacks on Pentagon censorship
provoked the inves tig a
tion, also asked Willis Law
rence, one of the Pentagon re
viewers, the questions which
brought about the threatened
impasse between the subcom
mittee and the Kennedy ad
ministration. (
He said the names of the i

were following policy in ‘
, changes and deletions they
, made.
The subcommittee took a
long week-end recess after
Arthur Sylvester, Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Public
Affairs, testified for more than
five hours yesterday.
Mr. Sylvester, questioned ex
tensively by Senator Thurmond,
said speeches wefe not “handled
capriciously out of hand or out
of solitary judgment.”
Deletions Questioned
Senator Thurmond asked Mr.
Sylvester about 27 specific
speeches by defense leaders,
military and civilian, in which
changes and deletions had been
ordered.
Five of them, the Senator
said, involved deletions of such
expressions as “achieving vic
tory ” over the Communists; 11
with deletions involving phrases
saying the Communists were
undertaking to dominate the
world, and 11 with references
to Communist aggression.
Mr. Sylvester testified that
most of the changes were made
at the direction of the State
Department. Under a long
standing directive, he pointed
out, speeches with foreign
policy implications must be
cleared by State.
In some cases, Mr. Sylvester
said, changes were ordered by
Pentagon reviewers because of
a policy against the expressions
reflecting interservice rivalry.
In several cases, Mr. Sylvester
said he did not know why
changes and deletions were
made but would undertake to
find out this information and
give it to the subcommittee.

SENATOR SAYS
KENNEDY VOTED
FOR STOCKPILES
Senator Williams, Repub

today that President Ken

record as a Senator in sup
port of building up un

piles.
The Delaware Republi
can cited nine roll-call
votes in the Senate between
1955 and 1960 on which he
said Mr. Kennedy voted
once against encouraging
stockpiling and eight times
the other way.
“While I regret that the
President did not support
those of us who were try
ing to curtail this extrava
gant program before so
many unnecessary millions
of the taxpayers’ money
had been wasted, neverthe
less I am glad that he has
