Secretary of the Treasury
Dillon has laid down the law
for his department: There
shall be no recording of tele-
phone calls to or from the
Treasury without the knowl-
edge of the other party.
It was learned today that
Mr.. Dillon issued the new pol
icy statement June 9. The
practice, which Mr.. Dillon
called "monitoring," is thought
to be fairly widespread in Gov
ernment offices.
Telephone eavesdropping" is
the term applied to the practice
by Representative Moss, Demo-
crat of California.
Mr.. Moss, chairman of the
House Government Information
Subcommittee, got into the act
when a subcommittee staff
member discovered during a call
to the Treasury that his words
were being taken down, un-
known to him, by a secretary
on an extension.
The subcommittee Staffer
said he asked the Treasury Of
ficial, Joseph F. Worley, if it
was a usual procedure to record
a telephone conversation Sc
cretly, and was told it was. Mr..
Moss fired off a couple of let

The Government reported to-
day a strong pickup in work.
ing hours and employment in
heavy industry in May, par
ticularly in autos and steel.
A Labor Department report
amplifying earlier May job
totals said the economy is con-
tinuing to show extra-seasonal
gains.
The work week Of the aver
age factory worker moved up
more than seasonally from 39.S
hours in April to 1915 hours in
May-the fourth increase in
working hours in as many
months. The work week has
increased nearly a full hour
since January, but is still a
bit less than a year ago.
Ray Larson, a Labor De-
partment manpower statistics
expert, said the steady increase
in the work week is a strong
indication that employers will
continue adding to payrolls.
PayrOlls Up 100000
The number of workers on
non-farm payrolls rose by 5O0,-
900 to SIS million, almost
double the usual rise for May
This included a 150,0O0-job in
crease in durable goods in
dustries, an area in which en-
ployment had fallen by nearly
100000 from 1860.
The largest gains from April
were in the steel and auto in

Estimates of Costs
If the school system con-
tinues to operate its buildings
three-quarterS of the year, he
added, Montgomery will have
to spend about $12.4 million a
year on new buildings or an
estimated $62 million by 1866
BY that year, DR.. Whittier
said. the school population is
expected to grow less rapidly
than at present. Thus the
need for new buildings will
not be as urgent after that
time.
In the meantime, he declared
continued growth coupled with
the county'S rapid urbaniza-
ton makes it necessary to
reappraise the school attend
ance pattern in the light OF

He added that "the economic
necessity Of pupils working on
the farms and the idea that
parents could have their vaca-

summer months of the year is
untenable under modern con-
ditions and requirements for
additional space"

The system, which Mont
gomery officials say would be
the first of its kind in the
country, will be put into effect
next July at the earliest-and
then only if the public is agree

A child's school year might
be scheduled like this:

The schools would be in con-
tinuous use as four overlapping
cycles of "twelve-four" (12

the plan. Thus, DR.. Whittier
said, cycle A might begin on

cycle c on August 90 and
cycle D on September 26.
Usual Holiday Observance
Holidays. except for spring
vacation, would be observed as

"The twelve-four plan pre-
sented here does not mean that
pupils would attend year-round
school," he explained. "They
would be in school 180 days a
year, about the same number
as at present. The advantage
of this arrangement would be
to permit use of school build

Housing Bill
Keyed toLast
For Two Years
House Approval
Predicted for
Kennedy's PIon
BY J. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

Congress may get by without
another housing bill until 1863
if the House goes along with
the SCI billion measure passed
by the Senate yesterday.
For many years Congress has
had to battle over an annual
housing bill, but the admin
istration measure that cleared
the Senate yesterday by a vote
of 64-25 makes long-range pro-
vision for the major parts of
the program.
Another bill in 1868 is likely
because the Presidents new 40
year mortgage plan for moder-
ate income families is limited
to two years as an experiment.
Twelve Republicans joined SO
Democrats in supporting the
measure. Only eight Demo-
Gratis lined up with II Repub-
licans against it.
Maryland Senator Beall was
among the Republicans voting
for the bill. Against it from
this area were Democratic
Senators Harry F. Byrd and
Robertson from Virginia and
G. o. P. Senator Butler Of
Maryland.
81 don't see any reason now
for a big omnibus housing bill
next year." said Senator Spark
man, Democrat of Alabama, who
spearheaded the new measure
through the Senate. He said
some few changes in FILA pro-
cedures might be necessary
next year. but no comprehenS-
i've legislation.
Called Too Far-Reaching
Senator Capehart, Republi-
can of Indiana, who led the
fight against the adminiStra-
tion bill as being too big and
far-reaching, commented that
if the next bill "is going to be
like this one, it ought to be
the last one forever"
Earlier the Indianan had
told the Senate: This bill is
the best example Of why ma
tions go socialistic, because we
are constantly eating away at
the private enterprise system. f"
Senator Clark, Democrat of
Pennsylvania. replied that op-
ponents of the bill were living
in the past while its supporters
were looking to the future.
Cites Precedent
Senator Sparkman admitted
this may be the largest housing
bill ever passed, but empha-
sized that it also is the first
which attempts to deal with
the problem for several years
in advance. Although the Sen
ate total is SCI billion, it in
cludes $1.2 billion for continu-
ing housing loans to war vet
Grams, which will be taken out
and passed as a separate vet
erans bill in the House. This
will leave the general housing
bill at $40 billion.
Senator Sparkman pointed
out that the $2.5 billion for
the Federal share of urban re-
newal is expected to last for
four years. The $1.3 billion
for loans for college dorn.itories
is for five years. and the farm
loan program also has a five
year duration.
The general authority of
FILA to insure private mort
cages which has heretofor been
extended for a year at a time,
will continue under this bill
until October, 1865. The need
to extend this authority has
provided the main pressure for
passage of a housing bill an
nually.
Much of the controversy in
the Senate related to the fol-
lowing new programs recon-
mended by President Kennedy:
/. Government backing for
40-year mortgages to enable 8
million moderate income fam
lilies to buy homes. The Pres
ident asked that no down pay
ments be required, but the op-
position forced a Senate re-

Big Extension
OF JobIess Aid
Plan Would Help
3 Million More,
Raise Payroll Tax
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy today
proposed an extensive overhaul
of the Federal-State unemploy-
ment compensation system
calling for more benefits and
for coverage of 8 million addi-
tional workers.
In sending Congress a bill
to carry out the recommended
tions, Mr.. Kennedy also called
for increases in employers
payroll taxes to pay for them,
THE BILL" the. President
said. would strengthen the
Federal-State system by in
creasing the number of workers
covered, by requiring adequate
benefit amounts, by improving
financing and by providing a
Federal program of additional
compensation, on a standby
basis, for workers who exhaust
their regular benefits during
economic recessions and at all
times for workers who have
had a long attachment to the
labor force"
4.S Million JObIess Now
The President pointed out
that. while "the bottom of the
recession has been passed."
there still are 4.8 million
Americans out of work. OF
these, the President added,
100000 have been unemployed
for more than s months.
He promised continued eff
Eorts to reduce unemployment,
and added:
1T is apparent, however, that
there will be those who will be
unemployed at various times.
Enactment of the draft bill
will, to some extent, alleviate
the suffering of unemployed
workers and their families, and
will help stabilize the economy
by increasing the purchasing
power of such workers. hope
It will have prompt and favor
able consideration by the Con-
Eress."
Long-Range Changes
The Kennedy plan would
amount to the most extensive
overhaul of the jobless insur-
ance system that has been pro-
posed since it was enacted as
part of social security during
the Roosevelt New Deal.
Most of the suggested changes
are long-range in character

Senator j. William Fulbright,
Democrat of Arkansas, as say
ing he was informed Scarbeck
was seduced by Polish blond,
who then blackmailed him"
Senator Fulbright, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, said he was briefed,
presumably by the State De-
partment, in advance of the
announcement of the arrest.
He told newsmen:
"It'S a very sad and dis
tressing development. I under
stand the root of the trouble
was a. woman. I was informed
a Polish blond seduced him
and then blackmailed him."
, Senator Fulbright would not
discuss the nature of the Sc
curity information Scarbeck
was charged with turning over
