Kennedy Fears
U. S. Involvement
In Lebanon War

HARTFORD, Conn, June %
Ex-senator Kennedy, Demo-
GRAFT Of Massachusetts, said
last night the rebellion in
Lebanon was "a delicate sit
uation that finds us poised
once again on the brink of
war"
The youthful Senator told
the Connecticut Democratic
Convention in his keynote
speech:
I'VE are faced with involve
ment in a brush-fire war after
six years of steady deteriora-
ton in our capacity to fight
brush fires instead of atomic
war.
I'VE are confronted with
armed conflict in the Middle
East because We have devel-
oped no alternative to armed
conflict.
THE decline in our prestige
in that area, the increase in
Soviet influence, the acerbation
Of all its ancient rivalries, the
instability of unpopular gov
ernments-all of these have
passed beyond the point where
the United States is in control. 4"

Agency Integrity
BY the Associated Press

Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, has introduced a
resolution calling for a commit
tee of distinguished citizens to
draft measures to insure in
tegrity, impartiality and public
confidence in Federal regula-
tory agencies.
Members of the opposition
party are talking about vicuna
coats and oriental rugs these
days" Senator Bush told the
Senate. lust as in 1852 men,
bers of my own party were
rather bitterly discussing mink
coats and deep freezes.
Underlying all the cam
paign oratory there exists a
deeply serious problem which
cries for solution"
His resolution proposes to
nave Congress call on Attorney
General Rogers to set up an
advisory committee of men
who have attained "eminence
in the practice of administra-
tive law, in public administra-
ton and in judicial administra-
ton"
1t suggests that the commit
tee be charged with reporting
promptly its recommendation
for measures to assure public
confidence ''in the exercise Of
adjudicatory and rule-makine

Smear Tactic
Laid to Probe

Boston Publisher Robert B.
Choate has accused the House
Subcommittee on Legislative
Oversight, which is Investigate
ing the Goldfine-Adams case,
of uncomfortable and unpar-
alleled smear-and-run tactics"
In kilograms, to members Of
New England delegations in
Congress, Mr.. Choate, publisher
Of the Boston Herald Traveller.
urged that steps be taken ito
protect innocent and decent
men and companies" from this
notorious subcommittee"
Mr.. Choate's wires followed
testimony by John Fox, Boston
financier that extremely pow
erful" Federal pressureS had
been brought to bear on him
and that those pressure were
not unconnected with the Bos-
ton Herald Traveller Corp. and
Bernard Goldfne.
The Herald Traveller and the
Boston Post, the now defunct
newspaper which Mr.. Fox con-
trolled. had been involved in a
long and bitter contest for Bos-
tons television Channel 5. The
channel finally was awarded by
the Federal Communications
Commission to a Herald-Trav-
eler subsidiary, a matter which
has been under the scrutiny Of
the House subcommittee.
In his wires to the Congress-
men, Mr.. Choate asserted that
the House subcommittee had
provided a forum for Mr.. Fox
so that he might with APP
parent impunity utter libels
and ISLANDERS with the fore
knowledge and appreciation Of
subcommittee members"
The publisher declared that
every allegation by Mr.. Fox had
been denied and that charges
against the Herald-Traveler
had been investigated by the
Justice Departments Antitrust
Division and the FBI and had
been found groundless.
