Senate Leaders Map Policing Of Ethics

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen-' ste leaders formally submitted today tteir recommendations for the appointment of a permanent bipartisan committee on senatorial ethics, but withheld an announcement of its make-VP- ^ j

The selections were turned over to Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, the presiding officer, as a sequel to the politically charged Bobby Baker investigation.

Three senators <rf each party already have been chosen for the new watchdog committee ..on standards and ccmduct, created by the Senate a year ago. But Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said it was decided to hold up announcing ^ them until the Baker probe was llnished.

That came Wednesday, with a final pwrt from the Rules Committee that said Baker had flagrantly abused his office to feather his own nest. The report recommended careful consideration of the possibility of indicting Baker for vlqlatlon of conflict of interest laws.

The committees Republican minoiity regcwed its charges of a Democratic cover-up and whitewash, saying the investigation was Incomplete because of the refusal of Democrats to call numerous witnesses.

Baker parlayed his outside business holdings. whole serving as the |l9.600-a-year secretary to the Senates Democratic majority. He resigned his Senate jxist Oct. 7, 1963, Just before the tovestigttion started.

A one-time Senate page boy from Pickens, S.C., Baker was ' reported to be in California Wednesday and could not be reached for comment. He had Invoked the Fifth Amendment protection against possible self-iDcrlmlnation in two appearances before the Rules Commit and refused to answer ques

tions. ,

To try to avoid future conflict (rf intereist cases, the committee in its report Wednesday recommended immediate activation of the watchdog committee. Mansfield said this would be done.

The new committee wl be responsible for investigating any Improper or illegal conduct by senators and Senate employes' and for recommending disciplinary action.

One sharp disagreement within the Rules Committee was over a Republican allegation that contractor Matthew H. Mc-aoskey, former ambassador to Ireland, slipped a political payoff to the 1960 Kennedy-Johnson campaign fund in connection wltlMthe big District of Columbia stadium McCloskey's Philadelphia firm buUt.

The Democratic majority report called this whole story a figment of the imagination of Don B. Reynolds, a key witness in the investigation. He is a local insurance man with whom Baker was associated. The GOP minority said the stadium situation involving McClockey was highly irregular.

The" majority rep<M^ said there was no proof of improprieties in connection with Reynolds sale of two $100,000 life tosurance policies to President Johnson. The first was sold in 1957 while Johnson was Senate majority leader and Baker was bis right-hand man. and the second after Johnson had become vice president.

I shall continue my personal Interest in all aspects of higher education and will keep the people of North Carolina Informed on the progress that is being made, he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Seasoned military men say the Communist attack on the key Da Nang Air Base points up the near impossibility of totally safeguarding even a heavily defended installation from guerrillas.

Da Nang is probably the best-guarded of all the bases in South Viet Nam where Americans have posted men, planes and equipment.

About 9,500 Marines" have been deployed around the base since early March. For weeks, they have patrolled aggressively far out into the countryside in search and destroy operations designed to root out and break up Communist concentrations.

And yet Red guerrillas were able to make a surprise penetration attack on the Da Nang base In darkness. First reports said Viet (Cong mortars poured about 30 shells on the airstrip. Later, U.S. military authorities in Saigon said their latest information indicated a small group of guerrillas infiltrated the base with explosives and 57mm recoilless rifles and inflicted the damage. These reports said only about 10 rounds of mortars hit the outer extremity of the base and apparently did no damage.

However, military men consider the mortar a particularly effective weapon for launching under the cover of darkness.

The weapon can be broken down and carried in sections, along with its ammunition, by a few men.

It can be assembled behind a bush screen or at night within range of target. It makes no loud report on firing. It sends off no telltale flame.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson gave definite orders today for development crf^a supersonic transport plane.

He said at the swearing-in of the new, administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency, retired Gen. William McKee, that the administrator will have charge of the progrgm. -

Until the President made his announcement, plans lor further development of a U.S. supersonic transport had been on a tentative basis, subject to evaluation of preliminary work.

Plans call for the U.S. plane to be capable of speeds up to miles an hour, in contrast to the smaller 1.500-mIle-an-hour Concorde being developed by Grfat Britain and Prance.

Earlier this month the Soviet government announced It also is working on development of a fater-than-sound airliner.

Turning to a number of senators and representatives at the ceremony, Johnson said he will ask an appropriation of $140 million for the next phase of the program.

He said that phase of design will cover an 18-month period starting about Aug. 1. and will Involve the same four manufacturers who have been taking part in the earlier stages of the program.

Johnson said the PAA administrator will be authorized to enter into contracts with the manufacturers to undertake detailed destign work and teats.

The President said he wa^^ o--derlng the program on the ha'^s of an Intensive appraisal of the supersonic transport situation by an advisory committee headed bv Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara.

John.son said the committee has Informed him that considerable progress has been made in the last severa^ months and has shown the probabllltv that, with further work on basic te^'h-nological problems, a commercially profitable supersonic transport can be developed.

The four manufacturers who will be Invited to continue their work are the Boeing CTo.. Seattle, and the Lockheed Co.. Burbank, Calif., developers of two different tynes of airplanes, ^-d the General Electric Co.. Cincinnati. and the Pratt and tVhit-ney Division of United Aircraft CJorp..

Pitt Operating On Old Budget

By JOHN JUSTICE

^ Reflector Staff Writer

The new fiscal year irrived today, but Pitt County is still operating on last years budget.

The county board of conjns-sloners, having problems to Iron out, yesterday p^ed an Interim resolution. Tne resolution,is a governmental device which simply means the county will operatlong on last years budget, tlons as last year until the budget is finally approved.

Arthur S. Alford, superintendent of county schools, made another appearance yesterday. After the commissioners implored him at an earlier meeting to try to shave a little off his request of $219,393.40, Alford won back and took a second look. Changes were made that reduced the county school request to $204,339.03.

One of the chief items of discussion was the $6,000 request for a physical education coordinator, to travel from school to-school directing, play.

Pointing out that only Bethel now has a physical education teacher, Alford said, Our responsibility is to the total child for each school day.

Alford reiterated that his budget now $658,712.87 la a minimal request for oiwatlng funds.

You'U have to admit, be told the board, "this budget has been pretty static for the last couple of years.

County schools got $578,143.18 In 1962-63; $602,171.12 in 1963-64; and $607,711.64 in 1964-65.

Also yesterday county auditor Reginald Gray relayed what he termed a serious plea from Welfare director' W. Ted Gart-man for a case worker which the board has tentatively stricken from the welfare budget.

(BartiMn, acoprlng to Gra'y,^ said th^ worker would be used for a new drug program and would actually save the county hKKiey. The commissioners took no action.

The commlsBioners monthly meeting is slated for Tuesday.

In the final businesa session of the three - day convention, Louisiana Atty. Geh. Jack P. F. Gremlllion was re-elected president of the aesociatlMj and the attorneys general avoided debate on controversial resolutiors by Mississippi Atty. Gen. Joe T. Patterson and South Carolina Atty. Gen. Daniel McLeod.

Both proposals failed to receive a favorable report from the resolutions committee and never- reached the convention floor for a vote.

McLeod urged support of a proposed constitutional amendment similar to one now before Congress and to one being proposed by several states, which would allow one house of a two-house legislature to be apportioned on a basis in additioa to population.

A 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision, known as the one man, one vote rule, states that bo^h houses must be apportioned on a strict population basis.

Patterson urged the attorneys general to come out against proposed civilian boards which would handle allegations of police brutality in civil rights arrests.
