MINORITY OF TWO
House Has q Third Porty

Mr.. Gross did it again last
week in even more spectacular
fashion when his questioning
led to defeat of an obscure
resolution to create a fancy
special flag for members of
Congress.
How 1t All Started
How did the Gross Hoffman
party start? Well, its all in
fun. but Mr.. Hoffman has this
explanation:
1T goes back to the time
when Gross used to rise to
make a point or order or a
point of no quorum. Some of
the Republican leaders used to
rush down there, and in my
opinion they tried to intimi-
date him. They gathered
around him publicly. arguing
with him. I considered it a
humiliation.
$50 when they began to put
the heat on Gross, why, I'd
object. I didn't want to see
him kicked around. And you
notice he isn't anymore"
In truth, no one seems to
get irked by Mr.. Gross quorum
calls. They are accepted as one
of the facts of existence by
other members, like dawn, April
showers and appropriation bills.
Mr.. Hoffman som tt m e S
leaves a committee meeting
with the explanation that he
has to hold a caucus with Mr..
Gross over their party tactics.
Actually, he says, I'VE play
it by ear-there's nothing fixed
or formal"
Just Plain Fun
Mr.. Gross has no dramatic
explanation. I'VE just have a
lot Of fun" he says. with all
the Illustrations around here,
you've got to have a little fun
sometimes"
"A lot of people wanted to
join our party" he adds. I'VE
make them file a written ap-
plication. Then we find some
thing wrong with it and stall
it along"
He said Representative FL
mer Hoffman, Republican of
Illinois, (no relation to Clare
Hoffman, was one Of these.
Hes an ex-officio member. a
former sheriff, large of stature,
so we made him Sergeant-at-
arms" Mr.. Gross said
But he doesn't get a vote
he's a nonvoting member"

week.
Sailor Lake, Alvord said, was
one body of water selected for
1859 seismograph studies by the
University of Wisconsin. This lake
was picked because it met depth
requirements for seismograph
work and was inhabited by stunt
q eastern brook trout. Because Of
the kind of fish it contained, it
was felt the fishery would lot
suffer from explosive charges set

According to Alvord, brook
trout would still be competitors
with the cutthroat since migration
routes were open to them from
the South Boulder river.

When the sun goes down,
traffic accidents go UP. That's why
driving is more dangerous during
October's shorter days and longer
nights. AT sunset, in the deepening
twilight, it's difficult for a driver
to spot shadowy hazards and to
estimate safe stopping distances.
SO, it's wise not to try to keep up
that hurried schedule you follow
during the daylight hours. For
safety's sake, speed must be
governed by conditions. Dusk and
darkness are dangerous conditions.
So when night begins to fall, be
sure and turn on your lOw-beam
headlights, not just your parking
lights. This will increase your
visibility and help other drivers
see you coming. Watch out for
careless pedestrians, who are
often wearing dark clothing and
difficult to spot in the evening
shadows. And, why not slow
down? Why not allow yourself the
luxury OF wasting a few minutes?

If the nations communications
systems were suddenly to blare
out that sixty-six divisions of
armed men would, within the
next few weeks, be invading our
marshes and forest lands the re-
suits would amount to a neal
panic. Yet this is exactly what's
going to happen between now and
October when more than a mill
lion bright-eycd nimrods will
eagerly turn into walking arse
nels, set out to drink in the au-
tumn air and return home loaded
with priced venison, rare fowl,
and in some cases the pelt of a
fellow hunter. This is also the
time when forest rangers, game
keepers, local sheriffs and first
aid stations tensely prepare for
the possible carnage that could
ensue when the eagerly sought
target turns out to be the back
side of a brother in arms.

Opposed Plea Acceptance
Wednesdays criminal case
involved the guilty pleas of
Mrs. Nora L. Melchior of the
1900 block of Gainesville street
Sc, to two charges of passing
bad checks, both for less than
$50.
At the trial, Assistant United
States Attorney James J. Flood.
jr., opposed acceptance of the
guilty pleas. He argued the
recent Lynch decision by the
United States Court of Appeals
required the judge to reject the
guilty pleas and hear evidence
in the case.
The Lynch decision, handed
down two months ago, said a
judge can refuse to accept a
guilty plea if he has evidence
the accused was mentally i'll at
the time of the crime or needs
pSychiatriC treatment.
Frederick c. Lynch, a Az
year-old former Air Force lieu
tenant colonel, tried to plead
guilty in December, 1859, in
Municipal Court to two bad
check charges. Chief Municipal
Court Judge John Lewis Smith.
jr., refused to accept the pleas.
/ PSyChiatristS who had eX-
amlned Lynch told Judge Smith
the defendant had been of un-
sound mind at the time he
allegedly wrote the checks and

atric treatment to insure against

said Assistant United States
Attorney Edmond T. DAILY, the
chief prosecutor at Municipal
Court. He would not say what
further action was contem-
plated.
Court sources agreed, how
ever, that the only way the
Government could reopen the
case would be through a re-
quest for a writ of mandamus
from the Municipal Court of
Appeals.
This writ-rarely asked for
could be in the form of an order
from the appeals court to Judge

aside his action and proceed

he has directed members of the

Intern Program, which handles

Cept cases in Judge Kronheim's

This step, unrelated to Wed
nesday's criminal case, is
apparently the elimination OF
a series of instances in which
Judge Kronheim has indicated
disapproval of the internS' court
activities.

Notes PeriIs
In Berlin Test
BY the Associated Press

Congress generally agrees
that the West faces an early
showdown with Soviet Premier
Khrushchev over Berlin that
could erupt into a third world
war.
This view is reflected by
week long debate-particularly
in the Senate-stirred by the
suggestion of Senator Mans
field, Democrat of Montana,
that all Berlin be declared a
"free city," its neutrality and
safety guaranteed by both sides.
Senator Mansfield, the Sen
ate Democratic leader, warned
in a speech a week ago yester-
day that the commitment to
defend West Berlin ranges all
the way "to a final pledge of
the lives and fortunes of every
man, woman and child in this
NdIlOIl.
Most Of those who have
spoken opposed Senator Mans
fields solution, but none has
sought to minimize the gravity
of the situation.
JavitS' Views Shared
Most Of the speakers, par
ticularly t h e Republicans,
agreed with Senator Javits, Re-
publican of New York, that the
United States should not back
down on a policy of keeping
Western troops in West Berlin
Evening star., 1961-06-23

until Germany can be reunited
on the basis of free elections.
Senator Javits yesterday Of
fered a resolution to put the
Senate on record in support
Of that stand.
He said it was mot without
risk" but it is imperative to
choose what may seem to be
the harder way, but what is by
far the more secure and Sure1
way"
Senator Bridges, Republican
of New Hampshire. chairman
of the Senate G. o. P. Policy
Committee, agreed with Senator
JavitS. THE urgency of the
moment" Senator Bridges de-
clared. sis survival ITSELF"
G. o. P. Pressure Increases
The Republican pressure for
new commitments by the ad-
miniStration to the oft-re-
/ peated policy of standing firm
on West Berlin built up despite
the fact President Kennedy
himself had declared his own
similar position on his return
from Vienna talks with Mr.
Khrushchev.
Mr.. Kennedy told the Ameri-
can people he had informed
Mr.. Khrushchev that United
States security is deeply in
voled in access rights to West
Berlin and I'VE are determined
to maintain these rights at
any risk"
And, after Senator Mans
fields speech, Secretary oi
State Rusk said promptly that
there has been no change what
Soever in United States policy
on Berlin, and that none was
in contemplation.
Senator Mansfield said he
was floating no trial balloon
for the administration, but was
speaking as an individual Sen

ton in that country is alb
normal" he declared. 'The
Soviet position in regard to this
matter is predicated on the be-
lief that the division Of Ger
many is normal, that the d.
vision of Berlin is normal, and
that the sole abnormality that
persists is West Berlin. This is
not a formulation of the prob
lem which is acceptable to the
United States"
Mr.. Rusk also attacked many
contradictions and historical
fallacies," in the Russian po-
Sition.
Hits at Peace Threats
THE SovietS talk constantly of
peace but threaten the obvious
peace which exists in West Ber-
lin," he said. a.. If the world
is full of anxiety and uneaSiness
over Berlin, this arises directly
from the threat of the Soviets
to the rights of others and to-
the liberty of the West Berliners
rather than to anything in the
present situation in Berlin"
On other topics Mr.. Rusk
asked about the situation in
the Dominican Republic since
the assassination of Gen. Ra-
fael Trujillo, commented, IT
personally believe the OAS
Organization of American
States) committee left the Do
minican Republic somewhat too
soon"
The six-nation group spent
only a week in the Dominican
Republic investigating the new
regimes actions to restore de-
mocracy.

Secretary of State Rusk's
quiet but firm determination
to keep the West in Berlin
while giving Soviet Premier
Khrushchev every opportunity
to avoid a 1niscalculation" was
being well received by allied
diplomats here today.
The United States princi-
pal allies agreed that the
West must again provide q
backdoor through which the
Soviet Premier can slip If he
decides he cannot risk war to
oust them from West Berlin.
In this connection, diplomats
