Newest ToneIe
In Financial Dotu
BY LEE NJ. COIN

Richard A. Mack's income
more than doubled his salary
as a member of the Federal
Communications Commission, &C
cording to records he submitted
to the House Legislative Over
sight Subcommittee.
Subcommittee Chairman Har-
ris, Democrat of Arkansas. dis
closed this new tangle in the
ousted commissioners financial
affairs yesterday.
At the same time, Mr.. Har-
ris told reporters he wouldn't
be surprised" if Mr.. Mack and
other key witnesses dodge this
weeks hearings. He said they
may object to testifying on the
Hill while a Federal grand jury
investigates their activities in
the battle for Miami Tv chan
mel 10.
If these witnesses decline to
testify on grounds of possible
self determination. Mr.. Harris
said. the subcommittee will
have to excuse them. He was
referring to Mr.. Mack, Thur
man A. Whiteside and Col. A..
Frank Katzentine.
Feeling every Low"
Mr.. Mack's attorney, William
A. Porter, said he knew of no
change in plans for his client
to testify before the subcom-
mittee Wednesday. although
the ex-commissioner is feeling
very low"
Mr.. Porter said I'VE have not
resolved" the question of
whether it would be wise for
Mr.. Mack to answer questions
on the Hill while the grand
jury is investigating.
Mr.. Whiteside. scheduled to
testify before the subcommit-
tee tomorrow, has denied
charges that he paid Mr.. Mack
to vote to award channel 10 to

a subsidiary of National Air

week before the grand jury, and
is scheduled to continue his tes-
timony there on Tuesday.

Federal funds for jobless COM

used to pay additional benefits
to the unemployed after they
exhaust their rights under State
laws.
While Mr.. Eisenhower spoke
of extending the benefits "for a
brief period" White House Press
Secretary James C. Hagerty
said he understood the proposed

The President said Secretary
of Labor Mitchell would spell

The administration, jockey

advantage, made its move with
out waiting for Senate and
House action on two resolu-
lions which call for just about
these same steps to combat the
current recession.
In outlining a seven-point
economic program, Mr.. Eisen-
hover rejected what he called
"pump-priming schemes" and
urged a speed-up of work al

This includes the early re-

Moscow Calls
For Atom-Free
Zone in Asia
Warning Undercuts
SEATO Conference
Set This Week

MOSCOW. Mar. 8 (R.-The
Soviet government called to-
night for establishment Of an
atom free zone and a system Of
collective security in Asia and
the Far East.
The call came in q 5000
word denunciation Of the
Southeast Asia Treaty Organi-
zation conference which ccn-
venes in Manila next week.
The official statement, re-
leased by the government news
agency Tass, made no specific
proposals.
1t warned nations Of Asia and
the Far East they would lay
themselves open to nuclear re-
taliation-presumably from the
Soviet Union-if they agreed to
the establishment Of nuclear or
rocket bases on their territory.
The Soviet Union has issued
a series of similar warnings to-
varied nations in the past. IT
also has backed a plan put for
ward by Poland for an atom
free zone across Europe.
Colonial Motives Hit
Today's statement accused
the United States and other
western aggressive powers" of
trying to use SEATO to fur
Their their colonial policies" in
Asia.
las is well known" it said,
american aid is aimed pri-
marily at the militarization Of
member states of SEATO such
as Pakistan, Thailand and the
Philippines"
The Kremlin warning was
worded in language similar to
that used on the eve of the re-
cent NATO summit conference
in Paris. 1t obviously was aimed
at the same goal-discord and
dissension in the allied camp at
a time when the Western pow
ers are speaking for unity.
The Kremlin charged the
Western powers we're aiming to
link NATO with SEATO and
warned that such move would
place SEATO's Asian members
in even greater dependence on
the imperialist states and would
make them responsible for the
policies of the organizers of
NATO."
This, it said. could involve
the nations of Asia in war lin
areas tens of thousands of kilo-
meters away from their own
territory"
Inevitably retaliatory blows
would fall directly on the ag-
gressors. it said.
Poor Bargain Signed
Asian member states of |
SEATO are striking a poor
bargain, the statement said. 1t
declared the West supplies
money and military equipment
and the nations of Asia furnish
"cannon-fodder" and subject
their territories to the risk of
"retaliatory blows of nuclear
weapons "
Leading circles in the Soviet
Union consider it necessary to
draw the attention of govern
ments Of the MEMBERSHIPS OF
SEATO to the serious respon-
sibilities which they BEAR" the
statement added.
1t said the Soviet Union is
convinced that improvement of
the international situation and
the establishment of trust
among nations requires the Gre
alton of a system of collective
security in Europe and Asia.
The strengthening and expan-
sion Of zones of peace in Asia
must replace the present sys-
tenn of military groupings, it

committee conference requiring
second offenders to serve 80
days in Jail.
The present law provides a
30-day minimum sentence for
second offenders, but it may be
suspended.
The Senate, which earlier
had tried to pass legislation i'm
posing a Today mandatory

agreed to go along with the
second offender idea by a vote
of 21-l0. but when the measure

Billion Dollar Budget
Action on the drunk driving
bill was the final piece of con-
troverSial legislation to be taken
before the 60-day session of
the General Assembly adj
journed at 6 pm.
Earlier in the afternoon, both
houses approved without a rip
pie a billion-dollar budget bill
after differences in the House
and Senate versions were re-
solved.
A House Senate conference
committee had worked out diff
ferences in the two versions,

from the Department of Con-
servation, and also restoring
$4,000 out of $4,000 that the
Senate had chopped from the

cation.

fund appropriations finally APP
proved amounted to $408, 1886, :
