Bob Kennedy Expected
To Decide on Job Soon
BY CECIL HOLLAND
stsF STAG Wmtes

President-elect Kennedy Is
expected to have Q Anal word
from his brother Robert in the
next few days on whether he
will accept a cabinet post as
Attorney General.
Senator Kennedy and his 35-
year-old brother. who served as
his campaign manager. have
held several discussions on the
appointment. Robert. 1t Is un-
derstood, will make his deci-
sion soon.
The President-elect's brother
has been under pressure from
Senator Kennedy. other mem
bers Of the family from the
Senator's associates to take the
cabinet place.
Tempted by Challenges
1t is one Of the few official
posts he is interested in. 1t is
understood. But he has been
reluctant to accept because OF
fears that the appointment
would not be well received by
the public.
However. the challenges in
the position as the administra-
tion's top legal officer appear
to have overcome Robert Ken
nedy's reluctance to some ex-
tent.
His appointment. If 1t comes
about. would bring to the JUS
tice Department one of the
youngest Attorneys General in
the country's history.
The PreSident-elect has in
dicated that he would like to
complete his cabinet soon. In
New York today he said he
expected to name a Secretary
Of State shortly.
A decision by his brother to
accept would leave State, De-
fense and Treasury as the key
administration posts to be filled.
Experience Outlined
Robert Kennedy served briefly
in the Justice Department after
his graduation from the Uni
versity of Virginia Law School.

II the Europeans will hold
still for "Gunsmoke" at 2 o'clock
in the morning. Howard Hughes
knows how to give it to them
via transatlantic television.
What Is more. the energetic
one-time boy wonder Of finance
says-through his representa-
tive in Hughes Aircraft Co.
that ocean spanning television
can be in operation within a
year, at a total cost Of no more
than SIS million.
Heart Of the scheme is a
satellite the size and shape Of
q fashion models hatbox, which
would hang poised in space
$4,000 miles over the equator.
It would be launched, Hughes
engineers say, by a version Of
the Scout rocket not unlike
one which failed to orbit an
aluminium balloon from Wallops
Island, Va, last Sunday.
Shows Working Model
DR.. Harold A. Rosen, man
ager of Hughes Aircraft's COM
munication satellite program,
displayed a a'working version OF
the satellite at the Shoreham
Hotel yesterday. The satellite
was part Of the American
Rocket Society's astronomical
exposition.
Hughes exhibit featured a
television camera which took
pictures, transmitted them from
an actual TV sending station
across a few feet of air to the
satellite, which reposed on a
stand. The satellite then re-
transmitted to a ground receiv-
ing station a few feet away
which fed its signals into an
ordinary television set.

DR.. Rosen emphasized the
low cost Of the Hughes system,
which he set at about l/10 of
other space-orbiting T'V relay
proposals. He said the setup
could also be used to transmit
several hundred voice messages
simultaneously In lieu Of one
TV channel.
U. S. Agencies Study Plan
Hughes has approached both
the Air Force and the civilian
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration with the pro-
posal. DR.. Rosen said the mat
ter is under study in 1t. Gen

search and Development Com
mand. and has been scanned by
the NASA high command here,
No final decision has been taken
by either agency, he said.
Hughes Aircraft is not pro-
posing to build the system with
its own money, officials stressed,
Rather, it is trying to interest
governmental or commercial
groups.
DR.. Rosen and an assistant,
Donald D. Williams, laid out
the program in detail In an in
terview. They said that about
one-third of the SIS million
would go for launching vehicles
and payloads, another third for
further development and con-
tingencies" and the remaining
$5 million for ground install
lations.

Towes Committee
Maps Bill to Form
Regulatory Units
By PAUL HOPE
Star stan Writer

A bill to regulate Maryland
savings and loan associations
has been drafted by q commit
tee appointed by Gov. Tawes.
A major provision Of the bill
would set up a new department
to supervise savings and loan
company operations. 1t also
would set up a new commission
which would have broad powers
to regulate the industry. Mary
land is the only State that does
not regulate savings and loan
associations.
Appointment Of the commit
tee by Gov. Tawes followed q
long controversy over regula-
ton Of savings and loan groups.
A regulatory bill was passed
at the 1860 session Of the State
legislature after lengthy de-
bate. but 1t was vetoed by Gov.
Tawes who said it was hastily
drawn and inadequate.
Details Of the committees
proposal are scheduled to be re-
leased later today in Baltimore.
Measure Seen In 81
However, it was learned that
the committee will recommend
that its proposed regulations be
introduced at the 1861 session
Of the State Legislature.
It was reported that the bill
would authorize the employment
Of q full-time administrator to
head the new department.
It also was reported that the
bill would bar multiple-stock
companies. 1t was explained
that this means only mutual
companies would be allowed
the type owned by the deposi-
tors. -
The purpose of the stock limi-
tation would be to prevent crea-
ton Of companies controlled by
q group Of permanent stock
holders independent Of the
savers. Maryland officials have
reported a flood of applications
in recent months to set UP such
companies.
Would Limit Prizes
Another major feature of the
proposed legislation would be q
limit on the value Of prizes
which could be given away tc
attract new depositors. It was
reported the limit would be sci
at $3.50.
Many savings and loan COM
panies now send out brochures
to residents listing q variety OF
prizes to lure depositors. The
proposed law would prohibit
giving away such items as
television sets and expensive
appliances.
The new commission would be
empowered to clamp down on
false advertising. 1t also would
be able to set up regulations for
insurance Of deposits, it was
reported.
Among the major architects
Of the proposed regulations are
State Senator Edward S
Northrop, Democrat of Mont
gomery, who is majority floor
leader in the Senate and chair
man Of the Senate Finance
Committee; Delegate Joseph D.
Tydings, Democrat of Hartford
County, who sponsored the bill
in the 1860 session which was
vetoed by Gov. Tawes, and
Richard w. Case. prominent
Baltimore attorney, who served
as chairman of the committee

committee was T. Hammond
