Congress Passes
Anti-PoIIution Bill
BY the Associated Press

Compromise legislation au-
thorizing q stepped-up Federal
anti-pollution program was
passed by the Senate by voice
vote today and sent to the White
House.
The legislation Is an adjust
ment Of separate bills passed
previously by both branches.
It would add, subject to ap-
preparations. $50 million to
the amount Of Government
spending previously authorized
to help cities build sewage
treatment plants and finance
other pollution abatement pro-
grams. It also would give the
Federal Government more pow
er to force compliance with
anti-pollution measures.

Church School
Looms Upheld
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Labor Committee
has voted down a move to elimi-
nate a $375 million classroom
loan program for church and
other private schools from the
National Defense Education Act
extension bill.
Senator Randolph, Democrat
Of West Virginia, failed yester-
day by a 1915 vote in his bid
to strike out the provision.
Democratic congressional
leaders believe Senate passage
of the church school loan pro-
gram will win votes from House
members who are insisting on
some aid for parochial schools
The $2.55 billion general pub
lie school aid bill now is stale
mated in the House Rules Com
mittee, primarily due to OBJ
jections that it does not con-
tain aid to parochial schools
The Senate passed the bill In
May.

BOSTON, July IA (AP) In
dustrialist Bernard Goldfine
today accused the Federal Gov
ernment of unreasonable ac-
tionS against him and said
what he termed complete dis
regard" for his rights could cost
the jobs Of his 1,500 employees
In papers prepared for filing
today in the United States Tax
Court in Washington, the To-
year-old textile manufacturer
said he offered more than two
years ago to turn over to the
Government as security SIG
million, plus 100000 annually,
pending final determination Of
his tax liability.
Accused q. s. Of StaIling
Goldfine is now serving a
sentence in the Federal Cor
rectional Institution at DAN
bury, Conn.,, for evasion of
nearly 100000 in income taxes
Through his Boston attorney,
Burton L. Williams, Goldfine
claimed the Government delib-
eartely has stalled on filing a
required bill of particulars as to
exactly what Goldfine owes, has
refused to discuss a possible
settlement and is forcing Gold
fine to pay $4,000 a month tax
penalty interest.
In his motion for an immedi-
ate hearing, Mr.. williams said
that while the Government
contends it needs more infor-
nation from Goldfine it has
barred Mr.. Williams from visit
ing his client.
Says Jobs in Peril
The attorney said Warden
Frank Kenton told him the mo
visits" order came directly from
the director Of Federal prisons,
