House Expected to OK
Pension Plans Control
By ROBERT K. WALSH
Star Staff Writer
A move to put teeth into the 1958 law governing S6O mil
lion in employe pension and welfare plans will give the House
its first labor legislation debate of the 1962 session.
House Labor Committee sponsors of the measure predicted
passage this week by a big margin. Some critics warned that
the proposed investigative and regulatory powers for the Secre-
tary of Labor could cause “fish-1
ing expeditions” against pri
vate business as well as labor
unions.
Rules Committee Chairman
Howard W. Smith, Democrat of
Virginia, also warned that the
bill might result in Federal
"pre-emption” of State author
ity to prosecue persons charged
with kickbacks or embezzle
ment.
Roosevelt Sees Need
Representative Roosevelt,
Democrat of California, main
sponsor of the bill, said the
1958 law requiring administra
tors of private employe pension
and welfare benefit plans to
file reports was good on paper
but has proved inadequate in
practice.
“The Department of Labor
is merely a depository of the
plan descriptions and annual
Grain Storage
Profits Scored
By the Associated Preee
Chairman Cooley, Democrat
of North Carolina, of the House
Agriculture Committee, struck
back yesterday at what he
called “non-farm vested in
terests” who have been making
"extreme comments” about
President Kennedy’s new farm
program.
“I can only conclude that
those who have been so vio
lent in their criticism must be
speaking for some of the big
corporations that reap millions
from storing surplus wheat,
feed grains and other commod
ities on which the Government
has billions in investments,”
Mr. Cooley said in a statement.
He said more than 40 com
mercial warehouse firms got
In excess of $1 million from the
Government for grain storage
In 1960, and one firm got S2B
million.
Some warehousemen have
complained lately that sales of
stored grain by the Govern
ment have left them with large
investments in empty storage
bins. They also said that the
Government has short-circuited
them out of these transactions
by selling directly to the grain
users.
Mr. Cooley said “the non
farm beneficiaries of farm pro
grams have accumulated vast
resources and some of them
now are wielding political
power to prevent the enactment
of legislation that will reduce
the surpluses that bulge in
their warehouses.”

Bailey Sees Rockefeller
Catering to'Old Guard'
By DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer
Democratic National Chair
man John M. Bailey charged
last night that Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York had
“surrendered to the far right”
by opposing President Ken
nedy’s plan for creation of a
Department of Urban Affairs.
He said the Republican Gov
ernor had switched from his
previous approval of the pro
posal in hopes of winning con
servative support for the 1964
presidential nomination.
Mr. Bailey was replying to
a speech Thursday night in
Des Moines in which Gov. Rock
efeller accused Mr. Kennedy of
"political fakery” in blaming
the Republicans for the defeat
of the urban affairs bill in the
House Rules Committee.
The bill was rejected, 9-6,
with all five committee Re
publicans and four of the 10
Democrats recorded against it.
•Cites Race Issue
Mr. Kennedy has resubmitted
it to- Congress in the form of
a reorganization plan and has
announced he will appoint a
Negro, Robert C. Weaver, to
head the new Cabinet depart
ment if Congress allows it to
come into existence.
Gov. Rockefeller said it was
“demagoguery and deception”
on the President’s part to bring
in a “completely unrelated race
issue” by announcing his inten
tion to name Mr. Weaver.
As for the proposed depart
ment, he said it “might well
be used, in the form proposed,
as a subterfuge to bypass the
constitutional sovereignty of
I the States and to gain direct
August. It was brought up in
the House under suspension of
the rules but fell 12 votes short
of a necessary two-thirds ma
jority. The 244-161 vote at
that time indicated it should
have no trouble getting 'a
straight majority vote for pas
sage this week.
The bill would give the Sec
, retary of Labor investigative
and subpoena powers and au
. thority to bring civil suits to
enjoin violations. The bill
' also would direct him to make
; specific regulations relating to
the filing of reports and other
1 required information. He also
■ would be empowered to issue
1 authoritative rulings and of
ficial interpretations which
• would have to be uniformly
followed by other Government
' agencies and administrators of
plans.
Kickbacks, conflict of in
terest payments, and the giv
■l ing of false statements or con
cealment of facts in docu
ments filed with the Labor
Department would be made
felonies.

employes of welfare and pen
sion plans would have to be

political control over the Na
tion’s big cities.”
In a statement, Mr. Bailey
I said "the most charitable ex
. planation” for the Governor's
I stand is that he "has decided
he cannot be nominated In
1964 without the support of
i the Republican right wing.”
“There can be no other ex-
• planation for this curious re-
> pudiation of the interests and
• welfare of the people who live
■ in America’s cities and sub-
I urbs,” he said, "unless Gov.
Rockefeller is a political cha-

i litical coloration of whatever
■ area he is visiting.”
Governor Is Challenged
Earlier yesterday, Represent
,: ative Celler, Democrat of New
York, challenged Gov. Rocke
feller to “repeat in New York
’ City what he said in the mid
! die of the farm belt.’”
Mr. Celler said the Governor,
when serving as chairman of
former President Eisenhower’s
I advisory committee on Govern-
> ment organization in 1953, had
. “recommended recreation of a
t Department of Urban Affairs
, similar to that proposed by
. President Kennedy.”

Ball so Testify
For State Dept.
At Censor Quiz
By CECIL HOLLAND
Bt»r Btatf Writer
Senators Investigating char
ges that military leaders have
been “muzzled” have scheduled
their first State Department
witness for hearings this week.
The witness will be Undersec
retary of State George Ball. He
will be questioned about State
Department procedures in re
viewing speeches of defense of
ficials, military and civilian,
having foreign policy implica
tions.
Chairman Stennis of the Sen
ate Armed Services Prepared
ness Subcommittee conducting
the investigation said public
hearings will resume at 2 p.m.
Tuesday and Mr. Ball will ap
pear at a hearing Wednesday
morning.
Decker To Testify
Tuesday’s witness will be Gen.
George H. Decker, Army Chief
of Staff. Several of his speeches
last year underwent change at
the hands of censors.
The Investigation has been
pointing towards the testimony
of State Department witnesses.
More than 70 Instances have
been cited showing changes and
deletions made at the direction
of the State Department which
has the responsibility under a
long-standing directive to re
view speeches and statements
which discuss foreign policy.
Senator Thurmond, Demo
crat of South Carolina, who
brought on the investigation
with attacks on censorship,
contends that most of the
changes ordered by the State
Department water down com
ments by military leaders and
others on the menace of com
munism.
Clash Unresolved
Senator Stennis scheduled
another round of the hearings
with a clash with the Kennedy
(Administration still unresolved.
This involves whether the
Defense Department will ac
cede to Senator Thurmond’s
demand for the names of indi
vidual censors who reviewed
specific speeches. The South
Carolina Senator said he wants
the censors to testify and ex
plain why changes and dele
tions were made.
The question, involving the
doctrine of executive privilege,
remained unresolved after Sec
retary of Defense McNamara
conferred Friday with Senators
Stennis and Thurmond.
Senator Thurmond, it is un
derstood, rejected an offer by
Mr. McNamara to find out the
information desired and pre
sent it in writing to the sub
committee. The Senator in
sisted that the censors should
be subpoenaed to testify under
oath and the question on

whether their changes were
made on the basis of personal
judgment or in keeping with
policy.
McNamara Reluctant
Mr. McNamara is reported as
reluctant as ever to make the
censors available for question
ing. He has told the subcom
mittee that this is not in keep
ing with good management
practices and that he assumes
responsibility for what the
Pentagon censors did.
At the same time, the Secre
tary is said to be reluctant to
invoke executive privilege in
denying the subcommittee the
names of individual censors.
However, subcommittee mem
bers have indicated Mr. Mc-
Namara will have to invoke
the privilege or disclose the
names.
Another meeting will be held
by Mr. McNamara and Sena
tor Stennis early this week in
a new effort to resolve the
dispute. The same question is
expected to arise with regard
to State Department censors
in the course of the hearings.
