Fec Changes
Under Attack;
Censor Feared

President Kennedy's plan to
re-organize the Federal Com
munications Commission and
increase the chairman's powers
met stiff congressional opposi-
ton today.
Members of Congress charged
in testimony before a House
Government Operations sub
committee that the plan would
increase White House domina-
ton of the FEC and give
Chairman Newton N. Minow a
chance to censor televiSion
programs.
But Mr.. Minow described the
proposed change as "a minor
housekeeping provision" He
said in a prepared statement
the majority Of a commission
could take such powers away
from any chairman who abused
them.
The plan will go into effect
next month unless Congress eX-
presses its disapproval.
Industry Stirred Up
Mr.. MinoW has aroused op-
position in the broadcaStlng
industry and in Congress by his

gramming as "a vast waste

newal of licenses for stations
that fail to serve the public in
terest in programming.
Representative Avery, Re-
publican Of Kansas. contended
in his testimony that the re-
organization plan would have
the effect Of virtually creating
a one-man commission in the
chairman" and would let the
White House dominate" the
FEC through a "czar."
Mr.. Minow said fears that he
would adopt a one-man rule
were without foundation.
He described the proposed
added powers as minor, and
said actions under them could
be overruled by q majority of
the seven-man commission.
Thus" he said, "aS a prac-
tical matter, the chairman must
act fairly or the commission
will, in effect. withdraw his
power to act in this area"
Mr.. Avery said he has grave
apprehension over his CMr,
j Minow'S) increasing zest fol
