Probes Czech
Charge

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
June II (AP).-Czechoslovakia
was disclosed tonight to have
got quick action out of Dag
Hammarskjold on a cloak and
dagger complaint against the
United States. even though the
Communist state no longer rec
ognizes him as U. N. secretary
general.
The complaint charged the
United States was trying to ex-
pei Czechoslovak Delegate Mi
roslav Nacvalac because he had
refused to become an Ameri-
can spy. The United States re-
torted that Nacvalac was a spy
for CzechoSlovakia.
Diplomats said that within
hours after the communist pro-
test reached Mr.. Hammarskjold
yesterday he told the Czecho-
slovak delegation he was work.
ing on it personally. He for
warded the protest to the
United States delegation for
American comment last night.
This morning, by Czechoslo-
yak request. he sent all U. N.
missions copies of the original
protest and his reply. That
gave Czechoslovakia's version
an official circulation not yet
given the American story.
Contradiction Charged
A spokesman for the Czecho-
slovak mission reported that it
got a note from Mr.. Hammar-
skiold yesterday saying he was
taking charge of a U. N. study
of the case revolving around
Nacvalac, counsellor and third
ranking member of the mission.
The spokesman also said the
United States story on the af-
fair was self-contradictory.
The Czechoslovak delegation
yesterday complained tn a

Asks Slash

Representative Roosevelt 1t,
Democrat Of California. wants
q drastic" reduction in the
budget of the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee in
order to curtail its activities.
He made his request to the
House Administration Commit
tee which passes on the money
allotments Of House commit
tees.
Although the hearing yester-
day was secret, Mr.. Roosevelt
released a copy of his testi-
mony in which he restated his
view that the Un-American
Activities Committee eventually
should be abolished.
What is really needed is a
root and branch excision Of the
committee itself from the body
Of this House." he said.
AS a start, he proposed cut
ting the budget to one-fifth Of
its present ALLEGATION Of $780,
900 q year.
"The main reason for dras-
.tically reducing the requested
appropriation" he said, "is the
fact that virtually every cent
given to 1t is spent in injuring
our citizens and weakening our
democratic institutions"
Out of 10000 bills introduced
in the House during the last
session Of Congress, he said,
only IL we're referred to the
Un-American Activities Com
mittee. Yet. he added, the COM
mittee had the third largest
budget in the House.
A great part Of its money is
spent for printing documents
in which 1t seeks to glorify it
self. Mr.. Roosevelt said. Many
Of its other documents, he add
ed. are "name-calling counter
attacks" on critics of the COM
mittee.

learning about the Kings of
England and the battles Of

There hasn't been enough
emphasis, Mr.. Kennedy COM
planned, on the great historical
events and the great men oi
other great civilizations Of the
countries to the south of US
in Africa, the Middle East and
Asia.
Then he left again, fighting
his way through the crowd that
cheered him out Of the build
ing.
Meanwhile, Homer Wadse
worth, youth fitness conference
chairman from Kansas City,
reported that delegates had
shown broad enthusiasm for
President Kenndey's Council
on Youth Fitness, which Is
headed by Secretary Ribicoff
He said delegates believed

President Kennedy either is

House mall jam or stop asking
people for help in running the
country.
The White House is receiving
about three times as many

Some people are beginning
to complain. Others. perhaps
including Queen Elizabeth of
Great Britain, presumably have
the patience that comes with
understanding a problem.
Mr.. Kennedy and his new
son, it seems are most to blame
for the mail deluge. But Mrs.
Kennedy and 3-year-old Caro-

he told folks: TASK not what

The House Rules COMMITTEES
expected to vote today on
whether to send three measures

Smith.
At issue is a proposal to per-
NIT televising Of House COM
mitee hearings, a ban on So
called back door spending
for Government - programs
financed through public debt
transactions or contract au-
thority. and creation Of q
House-Senate committee to
suggest a national policy on
fuel supplies.

pose these measures. They do
not involve a clear-cut stIlg-
gle between liberals and con-
servatives and none Is certain
Of House passage, even II
cleared by the Rules Commit
tee.
Their fate at the hands Of
that committee today, however,
might be interpreted either as
something Of a rebuke to Mr..
Rayburn or as q snag to slow
Mr.. Smiths plan to flood the
House floor with bills unwanted
by the Democratic leadership.
Voting lineups on the COM
mittee also could be significant.
The full 15-memher commit
tee held all-day hearings yes
terday on the resolutions for
TV-radio coverage and a ma
tional fuels study committee.
This was the first time all 10
Democrats and 5 Republicans
have assembled since the
House voted 217-212 in favor
of the Rayburn proposal to in
crease the membership from
IL to IS. The announced pur-
pose Of that liberalization"
was to overcome a possible
coalition between Republican
and some Democratic members
that might block Kennedy ad-
ministration bills.

AS in the old days, they made
jests yesterday about being
"obStructionists," but they were
sour jests. It wasn't like the
old days when calling them
selves "obstructionists" meant
somthing.
They were frightfully eff,
cient in their cramped quarters
holding hearings on eight bills.
Some people thought this was
about as many as they heard
in a whole year before MIR.
Sam stepped in and spoiled the
fun.
Yesterday they drew a stand
ing-room only crowd, lured by
the prospects Of watching the
elders Of the Rules COMMITTEES
getting back at Speaker Sam
Rayburn. The matter under
discussion was the introduction
Of televiSion cameras. which
Mr.. Sam has fatty refused to
have in the House.
Can't Fight Mr.. Sam
A Republican, Representative
Meader Of Michigan, appeared
to plead the case for the magic
eye. But Mr.. Sans enemies on
the committee could not quite
put their hearts into the fight
against him. Tempted as they
were by the thought of ven-
geance. they were torn about
television.
Mr.. Meader begged them to
consider what television could
do for them. G. o. p. Repre-
sentative Brown, Republican o1
Ohio, was more obsessed by the
thought Of what televisior
could do to them.
Would your television cam.

"A clever editor sitting in
New York could change COM
pletely the picture the Ameri-
can people receive about what
goes on at a hearing" rumbled
Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Meader offered the
thought that while he knew
pictures could be cropped and
tapes doctored, he doubted
that the practice is widespread
in the television industry"
Representative Delaney,
Democrat Of New York, recalled
that when the New York City
Council meetings were televised,
1t had rapidly become q bur

He inquired If the House pro-
ceedings would be sponsored,

that Senators who participated

became famous; one of them
had become President.

do have control over radio-TV."
But Mr.. Brown pointed out
that you could always cancel

that they were not. the show

country to be concerned with

told the conference made up
Of community leaders In phys
ical education, sports, recrea-
ton, health and young peo-
pies organizations.

said. I'VE want a nation of

from his address to welcome the |
foreign teachers who are con- |
cluding six months in this
country on an HEW exchange
program. when you 60 back,
tell your people we may not
always realize our high aims
but we are interested in ad-
vancing ourselves" he said.
Then he left the HEW audi
torium. AS he was about to
enter his waiting limousine, he
changed his mind and wheeled |
back into the building.
There was q scream from one |
Of the teachers and in a minute |
the President-to the dismay
Of Secret Service agents trying |
to keep up with him-was com
pletely surrounded by the en-
thusiastic throng.

could make his way to him, and |
