Senator Kennedy, Democrat
OF Massachusetts,, said today he
favors broadening the Federal
Lobbying Act to make it apply
also to contacts with executive
department officials.
He cited as an example the
appointment that j. E. Heyke,
president of the Brooklyn New
York; Union Gas Co., had with
White House Aide Sherman
Adams during Senate debate on
the controversial natural gas bill.
Mr.. Heyke is chairman of the
Council Of Local Gas Companies.
an organization of gas distribute
ing companies that was formed
late in October, 1855, to fight
passage Of the bill to free nat
|ural gas producers of direct Fed
eral price controls.
He said he had gone to Mr..
Adams. President Eisenhower's
top assistant, to find out if ru-
mors of administration support
for the bill we're true and to
urge. If they we're not, that steps
be taken to spike them. He said
Mr.. Adams was non-committal.
Mr.. Heyke testified yesterday
before the special Senate Lobby
Investigating Committee that he
did not regard his meeting with
Mr.. Adams as lobbying in the

marrow" sense of the term, but
he agreed that if he had gone
to see a member of Congress
about the bill. instead of Mr..
Adams, he would have had to
register under the Lobbying Act.
The committees hearing is in
recess until next Thursday
when Walter Reuther, president
lof the United Automobile Work.
Iers. will testify about the unions
part in fighting passage Of the
gas bill.
The gas measure passed the
Senate early in February, but
President Eisenhower vetoed it.
Senator Kennedy. a member
of the special committee, said
in an interview he felt the 1916
Lobbying Act should cover
efforts to influence legislation
through contacts with officials
of the executive branch of the
Government as well as with
Senate and House members.
The law requires the regiStra-
ton and filing of reports by per-.
sons who directly contact menu
bers of Congress as representa-
tives of organizations that solicit
or expend money in the interest
of furthering legislation. It
does not apply to contacts with
executive officials.

Auto Industry
Seen BetteriinQ
Weak Position.

DETROIT. june 70 tR.-The
Nations auto industry appears
to be successfully inching its way
out of the toughest situation it
has experienced since before
World War II.
On March ] the industry had
an almost overwhelming new car
inventory of nearly 100000 In
dealer hands. Through produce
ton cuts and stepped up sales
efforts. this has been reduced
to an estimated total of about
10000. With sales exceeding
factory output the total should
drop to about 100000 by July /.

Federal taxes of $1.05 q share,
net income will amount to $1.37
a share.
The result contrasts with
earnings of $1.70 a share before
taxes in six months ended June
80. 1855. Federal taxes amount
ing to 81 cents a share and net
Of $1.09 a share after taxes.
At a board meeting late yes
terday, directors declared an
extra dividend of 10 cents a
share in addition to a regular
semi-annual dividend of so cents
a share on the $40 par stock. It
is the first extra since the Citi-
zens National Bank and the
First National Bank were con-
solidated into the present insti-
tuition on July /. 1854.

Latest estimates Of worker

Report Says Nixon
Is Urged to Wait
On Big Decision

NEW YORK R-The New York
Herald Tribune said today it had
learned authoritatively that Vice
President Nixon is being urged by
administration aids and top Re-
publicans not to make any final
decision before Aug. 20 in chart
ing his political course.
A Washington dispatch to the
newspaper added that the purpose
is to prevent impairment of the
freedom of action of the Republi-
can nominating convention, which
opens August 20.
The story also said:
The matter of timing has be-
come important because Nixon
has told some close friends that
he is considering the possibility of
mot being available as the vice
presidential candidate.
Mr.. Nixon has expressed a
feeling of letdown-not specific
ally with any lack of endorsement
by President Eisenhower, but be-
cause he has been the butt of
political attacks without seeing
any substantial number of Repub-
licans rise to his defense"

Northeast States
Fight Late Winter
Floods, Billiards.
BY THE ASSOCIATED Press

The northeast states fought back
today late winter punch of tor
rental rains, floods, billiards and
chilling winds.
Flood waters were recedlng and
snow had ceased falling, but many
persons still were homeless. Many
homes were flooded or without
heat in the blizzard area where
the storm disrupted power lines.
The strange range of weather
of dying winter caused at least
nine deaths-two in New York
State and seven in Canada.
The rampaging Allegheny River
was dropping from record heights
after threatening Salamanca, NY.
and Warren, Pa. yesterday.
In Salamanca the river was
down almost a foot from the crest
of IA feet II inches-nine inches
above the previous high-Water
mark set in disastrous flood of
1912. During the night the tenn
perature dropped to 20 degrees
and four inches of snow fell I'M
der blizzard conditions.
Reports of higher water up
stream indicated it would be days
before many of the 500 evacuated
families could get back into their
homes.
The weather bureau said COM
munities below Pittsburgh along
the Ohio River "can expect trou-
BILE" late tonight and tomorrow.
Eastern Canada was digging it
self out of a blizzard while the
Weatherman warned of possible
new storms.

will arrive April 18 for their
much discussed trip to Britain.
And they will stay 10 days, two
days longer than were originally

ing keep the Red Beasts Out."
The protest was organized by

During their visit, Bulganin and
Khrushchev will hold political
talks with Prime Minister Eden,
be received by Queen Elizabeth II
and tour farms and industrial
plants.
Neither the Foreign Office nor

how "B and K"-as the British

But there has been speculation
they will sail up the Thames Riv-
er in Russian cruiser to be
greeted by Eden at Westminster

'SIZEABLE LAYOFFS'
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
DURING FEBRUARY

WASHINGTON, R-Employ-
ment slipped by 314,000 in Feb
ruary to a total of 62,577 900 be-
cause of wintry weather and
"sizeable layoffs" in the auto in
dustry, the Commerce and Labor
Departments reported today.
Automotive employment dropped
$4,000 from January, the monthly
report showed, and the resulting
production cut was reflected IN
layoffs in industries supplying the
motor companies, including met
ais and rubber.
However, unemployment across
the nation remained virtually un-
changed at 1914, 900. Joblessness
was up only 10000 for the month,
a barely perceptible change, sta
tistically speaking.
The joint statement said most
of the persons who left seasonal
jobs withdrew from the labor
market instead of seeking other
work. They were not counted as
unemployed.

bers of one family were killed last
night in a fire that destroyed their
two-room tar-papered home in
this rural southeastern Pennsyl-
vania Community. An investigator
said today cit looks like it could
be foul play"
The victims of the blaze were
identified tentatively as the wife,
children and grandchildren of
John Twyman, SO, truck driver
and a longtime resident of the
bottoms" section of Oxford.
Twyman, police said, appeared
at the scene of the blaze as the
last of the bodies of the Negro
family were being recovered from
the 20 to 30-foot home. Patrolman
Claude Swift said Twyman was
shocked into mumbling incoher-
ency but told him he had just re
turned from Baltimore.
Firemen were looking for ivy
mans body when he appeared.
Fire Marshal Robert Brown
said most of the victims, all ap-
parently asleep when the blaze
started, were charred beyond i'm
mediate Identification. He and

British Deport
Enosis Leader
From Cyprus

NICOSIA, Cyprus, R-British
Governor Sir John Harding today
ordered the deportation of Arch
bishop Makarios, leader of the
Cypriot Union With-Greece move
ment.
He has already left with three
other leaders of the Enosis-or
Greek Union-movement. All of
the four deportations were or
dered unter emergency regula-
tons instituted after this British
colony was torn by violence
bombings and Shootings.
An official announcement said
the four departed under escort
for a destination which will be
announced later"
Britain's deportation of Arch
bishop Makarios spells bigger
trouble for the island crown col
ony, which already has had more
than its share of strife.
The Greek orthodox prelate is
a symbol of the passionate Greek
feeling on the island of union with
Greece-Enosis.
Archbishop Makarios, a hand
some black-bearded and intense
man, welded a great deal of pow
er among the 100000 people of the
island who are clinical Greeks
and consider themselves bound to
Greece. The remaining 100000 of
the native population of the island
are of Turkish extraction.
