Secretary of Commer e
Hodges says he finds no evi-
dence of any Federal officials
being involved in payola in con-
nection with construction of the
Al ,000-mile, SAL billion inter-
state highway program.
Mr.. Hodges, in testimony be-
fore a House Appropriations
subcommittee made public to-
day, said some irregularities at
the State levels have been
found. but indicated he consid-
cred these relatively minor as
part of the huge program.
He was referring to investi-
cations being conducted by a
House public works subcom-
mittee headed by Representa-
tive Blatnik, Democrat of Min
neSota. They have shown that
contractors in some cases have
made payments to State high
way officials or employees in
order to receive favorable
treatment.
James c. Allen, assistant COM
missioner of public roads, said
that even if the bureau had
additional help he did not think
that cases where contractors
were found guilty of payola
practices with State employees
could have been avoided.
The Blatnik subcommittee has
held hearings on irregularities
in the program in Florida and

tereSt rates. He maintained
that the Federal Reserve has
been following a policy of credit
and money ease" in its efforts
to help combat the recession.
Thus, there is no real prob
lem about monetary policy
now. But Mr.. Martins teSti-
mony lent weight to predictions
by high-ranking adminiStra-
ton officials that conflicts will
develop at some point in the
economy's upswing.
Worried Over Initiation
These officials have said the
Federal Reserve is more wor-
ried than the administration
about initiation, and Mr.. Mar
tins testimony tended to con-
firm that appraisal.
In trying to stimulate eco
nomic growth, the administra-
ton probably will favor
postponing action to apply
monetary brakes until initiation
is imminent. Administration
officials expect the Federal
Reserve to move to restrict the
supply of money and credit at
a relatively early stage of the
economic upswing, in an effort
to stop initiation before it gets

Soviet Hits UAR
Over Arab Reds

MOSCOW, June 3 (AP) -
The Soviet Union protested to-
day, through its Central Coun-
Gil of Trade Unions, against
arrests and alleged mistreat-
ment of Arab Communist lead
ers by the United Arab Re-
public.
The official Soviet Com nu-
mist Party organ Pravda made
RusSia'S first formal protest
Other newspapers had tackled
the subject in roundabout fash
ion earlier.
The protest specifically men,
toned the recent death of Leb-
anese Red Leader Faradzhalla
Khel in a Syrian prison. The
Arab Communist arrests are
an extremely sensitive matter
here because Russians have
been led by their government
to believe the UAR is a true
friend of the Soviet Union.

Senator Keating. Republican
Of New York, says the Central
Intelligence Agency has pre-
sented to the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee evidence
Of widespread forgeries by Com
munist sources.
Senator Keating, a subcom- :
mittee member. said the group
heard testimony in closed ses-
sion yesterday of more than 80
major instances of forged doc
uments traced to Soviet propa-
ganda sources" The subcom-
mittee had asked CIA to check
up on such documents.
The forgeries, Senator Keat-
ing said, are designed to dis
credit the West, SOW suspicious
among United States allies, and
stir discomfort in non-Soviet
countries.
CIA witnesses testified, the
Senator said, that in some cases
Communists had succeeded in
planting stories in legitimate
news channels" in the West.
Examples he cited we're:
A revision of a United States
Senate committee report so as
to make it appear as an outline
for the United States to take
over Africa.
A planted report that the
French generals who recently
revolted in Algeria had CIA
backing.
A "phony letter" attributed
to New York. Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller and supposedly writ
ten to former President Dwight
D. Eisenhower outlining a plan
to gain control of the world.
Seator Keating said he hoped
the full record of the hearing
would be made public.

The new chairman OF the
Republican National Committee
set out today to prove his as
sertion that "the American
people want our party back
in power just as quickly as We
can get there"
Representative William E.
Miller of New York, elected
unanimously yesterday to re-
place Senator Thruston B.
Morton of Kentucky, told
COP. leaders they have no
reason to feel downcast.
Can Win House in '62
With adequate effort, par
ticularly in selling" their pro-
gram. the 47-year-old Con-
gresham declared, Repub-
licans can win control of the
House next year and regain
the Presidency in 1864.
Failure of the Republicans
to seize this opportunity, he
warned could destroy the two
party system and lead either
to one-party government or a
multiplication of splinter
parties.
Mr.. Miller, who has been the
head of the party's Congress

public today.
Richard P. Goodwin, acting

sion, said that nuclear cores for
the ships motor now are ex-
pected to last about three years,
instead of "a years.
He said the experimental
Government ship will run about
250,000 miles on one fueling,
about twice as far as the Nau-
tilusScan go even with an i'm
proved reactor core. This is be-
cause the Savannah is designed
to run as economically as pos
sible, using a lower grade OF
uranium in the cores.
Ready for Sea Tests
Maritime Administrator
Thomas E. Stakem, jr., said the
Savannah is ready to be sea-
tested, and all that remains Is
for the Atomic Energy Commits
sion to make a report on hear
ings held on the safety of the
nuclear reactor.
Mr.. Stakem said the safety
report will be made soon
When that is done, the nuclear
reactor on the ship will be
activated to 10 per cent of its
powers. If we we're to pick
a date. we would say July OF
August.
Then the nuclear plant will
be shut off and the ship will
proceed to its berth in York
town, Va. under auxiliary
power. When it gets in York
town, it will be put through a
series of sea tests and dock
tests and at that stage we are
ready for business"
First A-CargO Ship
The $35 million Savannah is
the first nuclear- powered cargo
ship in the world. The Rus
slams have a nuclear ship in
operation, but it is used as an
icebreaker.
Mr.. Stakem also disclosed
that another experimental ship,
a sea-going hydrofoil capable
of slicing along at an eventual
speed of 100 knots, also will be
ready for testing in July or

Senator Cites
Secrecy by
The Services

Senator Symington, Demo-
crat of Missouri, called the
Senate's attention today to- re-
ports that the several branches
of the military service have
been keeping secrets from each
other and from Defense Secre-
tary Mcnamara.
The Missouri Senator placed
in the Congressional Record a
story by Richard Fryklund in
The Evening Star of June /
stating that Secretary McNa-
mara had found that reports
made for the individual serv-
ices by private research COM
panies and paid for with tax
payers money, we're not only
withheld from the other serv-
ices, but from him.
Senator Symington said the
services do not want the other
services or the Secretary to
know the details of why they
take a certain position before
the Joint Chiefs of Staff
The story placed in the Rec
ord said that on April Is Mr..
Mcnamara directed the serv-
ices to send hin and Deputy
Secretary Gilpatric a copy of
each research report they have
made.
The Senator said that as a
result it is felt the services
may hold back data from their
own contractors, or receive re-
search results in some form
other than formal reports. The
Senator said the possibility Of
such reports gave rise in his
mind to two questions, namely:
who will pay for these in
formal research developments?"
and Does the Secretary of De-
fense have the right to know
what is going on in lis depart
ment?"

itance and copied the white
mans culture. In the process,
the Africans say, the American
Negro has lost the ability to
fight.
"I've heard the statement
from the Africans that. AS
soon as we gain our independ-
ence We'll come over and help
you win yours" a student
remarked. They definitely
think we are weaker.
But the American Negro
student feels we are strong
brave people and we are taking
the right steps in the right
direction"
Also expressed by Negroes
here is the belief that the
African has more freedom than
the American Negro. If an
African is Disseminated against
in a restaurant, the President
of the United States might
even apologize to him publicly
That won't happen to us,
Negroes say.
Backgrounds Differ
Another source of friction is
the difference in racial back
grounds.
/ so many Of us have mixed
blood" a teacher said. For
instance. I'm French. Spanish
and Negro. My grandfather
was a white man. So I natu-
rally feel more American"
You might even say we feel
we are more of the old OAR
type" he said. 1--WE feel U. S
American. And why shouldn't
we? We've never known any
thing else"
When American Negroes
demonstrated in the United Ma
tions after the death of Patrice
Lumumba, the reaction of g
housewife in Northeast Wash
ington was typical of many
Negroes in the Capital.
Il must say 1 am diSgusteo
with our people in New York,
she said. II heard someone on
television the other night who
said Negroes in America were all
behind the Africans. Now why
did he say that? It's not true
That's just another generaliza-
tion that's not true.
II think it's something like
that man in Virginia. You
know, what's his name? Rock
well. George Lincoln Rockwell
Well, I'm sure he wouldn't be
set up as an example of the way
the white man thinks. At least
I certainly hope not. Well. it's
the same way with U.S."

feelings.

brothers in the United States
were suffering" a student from
Nigeria was saying. "Our senti-
ment was aroused by the treat
ment they received"
That was before he came to
the United States. Now, his
attitude has changed.
THE students at Howard
seem to look at Africa as a jun
gle and at the Africans as peo-
pie who come from the tree
tops and wear hide skins. They
are skeptical about us.
Some of the American Ne
groes l talk to feel we look
down on them" he went on.
I'VE think they look down on
us. must say that if this type
of attitude prevails and I go
home with this impression
Africa will tend to grow further
away from America.
Most of the Africans have
this dark color. You see," he
said, touching his hand, my
skin is black. We are proud of
it. But many American Negroes
do not seem as proud"
Concerned Over Africa
| Often Negro intellectuals in
Washington express concern
about what is happening in
Africa and how it might affect
race relations in the United
States.
What could be worse for the
American Negro than If Afri-
cans prove a failure in govern
ing themselves" one man said.
Certainly we would get a set
back. Certainly it would help
those who like to say the Negro
is politically naive.

See, we've been saying all along
we've got to take you by the

would resurrect the idea Of the
white mans burden.
The American Negro should
realize he is a part of American
culture and he should not seek
the African culture. We are in
the American stream of life
We must solve our own prob
lens here"
Despite the differences ano
misunderstanding, most Ne
groes are aware that in perhaps
an intangible way there is
bond with Africa.

Biloxi, Miss. both are foreign

But when you see a photo

or you see a picture of white
troops fighting Africans you
react because of color"
Such feelings. though. are
by no means widely held among
Negroes in Washington. The
college students seem to be
the most affected by Africa.
BY far the largest number of
Negroes in Washington say
they are sympathetic to the
African struggle-but no more
so, for instance, than they were
for the Hungarian freedom
fighters.
They are Americans first.
In fact, there is miSunder-
standing between the African
and the American Negro. Quite
often. there is mutual dislike.
The Africans I've met have
no appreciation of the Negro
in the United States" one Ne
gro said. They are misinformed
and they have no real under
standing of our history from
slavery to the present. So there
has been this tendency to dep
recate the American Negro.
Il think most Africans do
not have as much social re-
sponsibility as the American
Negro. They are more concerned
about politics than education,
more concerned about commu-
nism than cholera.
A Difference Of Attitude
A Negro lawyer expressed a
similar view.
Il thought at first there was
a social Identification with At
rica, and l went running to
embrace it," he said. But
found out differently. I was
politely told that we are pure
breeds and we don't know what
you are
There is a difference in atti-
tudes. It's not open. but I've
experienced 1t at African en-
bassieS. This impression that
the American Negro is the low
est thing on the totem pole.
Whereas they think. I'm an
important visitor. I'm not like
you"
This argument is often heard
Perhaps because there are
many African diplomats in
Washington, it is expressed
here with some vehemence.

william McChesney Martin,
jr., the Governments chief
money manager, doubts that
President Kennedy can achieve
his announced goal of holding
interest rates down as the
economy RECEIVERS from the
recession.
Furthermore, Mr.. Martin has
no intention of helping with
any efforts the President may
undertake to force" interest
rates down.
Mr.. Martin, who is chairman
of the Federal Reserve Board,
sketched the outlines of poten-
tial conflict with the admins
tration in testimony yesterday
before the Senate House Eco
nomic Committee.
Further Recovery Needed
No real clash has developed
to date. because Mr.. Martin
and the administration agree
that economic recovery has not
yet progressed far enough to
Justify restrictive action by the
Federal Reserve.
But Mr.. Martins testimony
made it clear there is sub
stantial difference of emphasis
between the President and the
semi independent board. This
difference could lead to a test
of power if business activity
proceeds briskly.
Mr.. Martin stated his views
when asked to comment on
this passage in the Presidents
recent speech to Congress on
urgent national needs:
The full financial influence
of the Government must con-
tinue to be exerted in the di-
rection of general credit ease
and further monetary growth
while the economy is recover
ing. Some fur rYher downward
adjustments in interest rates,
particularly those which have
been slow to adjust in the re-
cent recession. are clearly de-
sirable: anG certainly to in
crease them would choke off
recovery"
Apparently taking issue with
the President. Mr.. Martin min
imized the Governments capac-
ity to influence interest rates.
If business continues to i'm
prove, he told the committee,
interest rates will tend to rise.
Only if business declines, he
said, will interest rates drop.
Implicit in the Presidents
statement was the view that
the Federal Reserve whoul6 use
it's power to help reduce in
terest rates.
Mr.. Martin said he wants
interest rates to be as low as
they can go without producing
initiation, but he insisted that
the Federal Reserve should not
be asked to force" interest
rates down to "artificiaily low
levels.
Force 'Self-Defeating'
Interest rates serve as an
"equilibrating lactoii" in guild
ing the flow of money, he said
and any attempt to force
rates down would be self
defeating" He said artificially
low interest rates would not
help to cure unemployment.
Mr.. Martin emphasized that
he does not now advocate
Federal Reserve action tt
tighten" the supply of money
which would tend to raise in.
