Subcommittee Charm a n
Rooney noted recent press
statements by Milton Vessel,
who handled the Apalachin
case in New York; Richard B.
Ogilvie Of the Chicago group
Of crime busters. and others Of
the Special Group. Mr.. Rooney
summarized these statements
as complaints that the group
did not receive cooperation
from anyone - "either the
courts or the Congress or the
FBI or any Government agen-
cy."
Mr.. Hoover said Mr.. Vessel
and Mr.. Ogilvie got complete
cooperation from the FBI
that was proper and consist

these gentlemen" he added,
when they wanted to have
assigned to them for their in
dividual direction a substantial
number of special agents with
out any specific target in mind,
but to be used on fishing ex-
peditions." Obviously we have
neither the manpower nor the
time to waste on such Specula-

the special group with informa-
ton on the operations of

had received letters and ex-

Mr.. Bow then asked about
segregation cases in New Or
leans and "other areas"
1--WE have been working on
that (the New Orleans situa-
tom very hard over the period
of the last 10 days." Mr.. Ken
nedy said. These things are
never finally settled, but I
think we have achieved a very
satisfactory result, the result
being that the Governor has in
fact recognized, and the Legis-
lature has in fact recognized,
that these two schools will be
operated on a desegregated

OF Possibility
OF TV Censor
By LEE NJ. COHN
Star Staff Writer

The House Government OPP
Grafton Committee is studying
warnings that President Ken
nedy'S plan to reorganize the
Federal Communications Com
mission could lead to censor
ship of television programs and
White House domination of the
FEC.
FEC Chairman Newton N.
Minow, who has called TV pro-
gramming "a vast wasteland,"
testified yesterday that the
proposed reorganization is es-
sential to eliminate red tape
and expedite commission work.
He emphatically denied that
he intends to censor television
or exercise "one-man rule"
over the Seven-member COM
mission.
The reorganization plan will
go into effect automatically
next month unless the House
or Senate disapproves it by a
majority vote. The Government
Operations Committee is ex-
pected to file report soon with
its recommendations on the
FEC plan and similar Presiden-
tial reorganization proposals for
the Federal Trade Commission,
Securities and Exchange Com
mission and Civil Aeronautics
Board.
Only the FEC plan has
aroused substantial controversy.
Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican of Michigan, has in
troduced a resolution to reject
the Presidents proposal to re-
organize the FEC. He could
press tor House vote Monday,
but more likely will await the
committees recommendation.
In testimony and statements
to the committee yesterday, the
commission split, 4 to 3, against
the reorganization plan. Op-
ponentS expressed fears that
the plan would concentrate too
much power in the chairman'S
hands and would lead to White
House domination of the legal
ly independent agency.
Appearing in opposition to
the plan were FEC Commits
sioners Frederick w. Ford,
RoSel H. Hyde and Robert T.
BARLEY. A fourth FEC COM
missioner, Robert E. Lee, filed
a statement along similar lines.
Siding with Mr.. Minow we're
