Censorship
EasingbyReds
Due Tomorrow

LONDON, Mar. 1S (AP). -
Western diplomats reported to-
day the Soviet Union is ex-
pected to abandon direct CEN
SorShip of stories written by
foreign correspondents begin
ming Monday.
Such a step would end 81
years of Soviet interference
with the free transmission Of
news from the USSR.
Information from Moscow
suggested that correspondents
will no longer have to submit
their work to anonymous CEN
sors behind a green baize cur
tain in the central telegraph
office.
Substitute Form Likely
But in place Of direct CEN
sorShip there is likely to be a
form Of voluntary censorship,
meaning correspondents will
have to decide before sending
stories whether they might Of
fend the regime. This proce-
dure already operates in other
Communist countries, such as
Poland. Correspondents there
have the freedom to pick up a
telephone and contact their
offices in the West without
going through an official CEN
sor. But their words are
studied by officials and they
may be called to account later.
The reported plans to lift
censorship follow a number Of
stories in the Soviet press COM
planning about restrictions on
Soviet correspondents in the
United States.
Bargaining Role Seen
These involved limitations
on the movement Of corre-
Spondents-applied in retalia-
ton for similar restrictions on
United States newsmen in
Moscow-and charges Of search
and inspection by agents Of the
FBI.
The Russians could use their
relaxation Of censorship as a
bargaining lever to reduce re-
strictionS on their newsmen in
the United States, while re-
tanning the same limitations
on United States newsmen in
Moscow.
AS for the significance Of
the predicted Soviet action.
one Western diplomat said:
1T is in line with other dis
plays of Russia's confidence in
its own recent achievements"
Direct censorship Of news
was imposed by the SovietS in
1889 during the Finnish war.
Ever since, foreign correspond
ents have had to submit their
material to censors. Sometimes
their stories are killed com
pletely; sometimes whole
chunks are removed. In recent
years the cenSorS have been
liberal. but whatever happens,
the stories are delayed while
the censor goes over the copy
Direct censorship has been
removed for occasional pc
RODS, such as when British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
milan and United States Vice
President Nixon visited the So
Wet Union in 1859.

The Vice President
Is a Changed Man
BY MARY McGRORY
Star Staff Writer

Lyndon B. johnson Of Texas
is a changed man.
The flamboyant Senate lead
er of yesteryear has become, as
Vice President, a self-effacing
and scholarly person who in
sists he is content in his role
of understudy.
Whereas he used to talk of
legislative victories narrowly
achieved, he now expands on
his congenial relationship with
and frequent visits to the man
he once challenged for the
White House.
He has, according to his as
sociateS, after a rather lonely
and wistful interlude, accepted
his new status as presiding Of
ficer of the Senate instead of
its master.
Not even those who opposed
his election to preside over the
Senate Democratic caucuseS
have found fault with his per-
formance; they say he has been
unobtruSive and helpful. The
leadership still conSultS him.
During the long hours when
the administrations unemploy-
ment bill was being passed
through a series of tight votes.
he was in constant attendance
in case Of a tie but never laid
a perSuading hand on any
sleeve.
On his desk in his Capitol
office, he has a study which
was prepared by a friend Of
his. He consults it in his spare
time. 1t is called THE Vice
Presidency: Its Problems and
Personalities"
At the Tuesday morning
White House legislative meet
ings, Mr.. johnson has little
to say. But his associates say
he contributes greatly by
bringing up sticky subjects and
by never letting a subject be
dropped until everyone knows
what is going to be done.
His appointment schedule is
full. The other afternoon, in
the course of a few hours, he
saw Jean Monnet of France,
the advocate of a united Eu-
rope; the Mayor Of Wichita.
Kans., q representative Of the
Army Information School and
the Foreign Minister Of Yugo-
slavia.
Keeps His Place
AS chairman of the PreSi-
dents Committee on Space, he
conSultS more with scientists
than with Senators. AS chair
man Of the Presidents Com
mittee on Equal Employment
Opportunities, he regularly
confers with White House staff
experts and cabinet members.
But he emphasizes that the
Vice President has not the
staff or the authority to carry
on operational activities, and
he is careful not to overstep.
Its like a trip around the
world" he says Of his new
Job. you're learning all the
time. It is difficult in many
cases to know enough to make
a judgment, even though you
don't actually have to make a
judgment"
He hasn't yet explored all
the possibilities and limitations
Of his situation.
Its a little difficult" he
explained. you're kind Of at
tached to one branch through
presiding over the Senate and
kind of attached to the other
branch so far as succession and
national security problems are
concerned, and I don't have a
clear line of demarcation."
He has yet to accept any
major speaking engagements.
But he has made a number of
Washington appearances. some

McCIoy Talk
Kept Silent
BY the Associated Press

The White House remained
mum today on the report Pres
ident Kennedy received from
his disarmament administra-
tor, John J. McCloy.
Mr.. McCloy briefed Mr.. Ken
nedy for more than an houl
at the White House late yester-
day on Mr., McCIoy's lengthy
talk with Soviet Premier Khru-
Shchev last week.
Sitting in at the White
House session was Secretary of
State Rusk, who flies to Paris
this week to meet with the
foreign ministers of Britain,
France and Germany on the
Berlin situation.
2 Weeks of Talks
Mr.. McCloy, who has Just
concluded two weeks of dis
armament discussions at Mos
COW, is the first high-ranking
American to have a long session
with Mr.. Khrushchev since the
Kennedy Khrushchev meeting
in Vienna June 3-4 at which
Mr.. Khrushchev advanced his
Berlin plan. Mr.. McCloy saw
Mr.. Khrushchev at the Soviet
chiefs Black Sea resort resi-
dence.
Mr.. Khrushchev says he will
sign a peace treaty with Com
munist East Germany this year
He contends this will wipe out
Western rights in West Berlin,
Inforinants said Mr.. Khru-
shchev restated his position
during his discussion with, Mr.
McCloy and added nothing
basically new to his previous
statements.
Didn't Slam Door
But these sources said, too,
that Mr.. Khrushchev did not
slam the door on further talks
about a long-range settlement
of the German question.
Mr.. Khrushchev repeatedly
made plain his dislike for Mr.
Kennedy's radio-TV speech to
the Nation a week ago in which
Mr.. Kennedy pledged to de-
fend West Berlin by force il
necessary.
However, the KhruShchev-
McCloy meeting was described
as frank and cordial in tone,
not bitter.
Although the Moscow dis
armament discussions were
largely fruitless, as were the
previous two-week talks on the
subject in Washington, United
States authorities saw enough
hope in the slight Soviet mod
ification to warrant pursuing
the matter further.
United States officials
planned to confer with West
ern allie. Then they expect to
resume the talks with the So
VETS in New York in a few
weeks.

The White House affirmed
matter of factly yesterday that

Press Secretary Pierre Salin-
ger said in effect that it has
been Mr.. Dulles plan all along

Mr.. Salinger declined to

Others declining to comment

1t was learned later that Mr..
Hamilton is a front runner
among those being considered
to succeed Mr.. Dulles, but that

asked Mr.. Dulles to continue

sensitive job. Government of
ficials have said privately that
Mr.. Dulles coupled his agree.
ment to do so with the ex-
pressed hope that he could re-

The Kennedy administration

the aged under Social Security
today had the full support of
the 900,000-member Interna-
tional Association of Machin-
lists.
In testimony prepared for the

never has met the problem of
providing care for the aged.
Because Of built-in limita-
lions it never WILL" Mr.. Hayes
said.
Many private health insur-
ance policies are cancellable at
the option of the company, Mr..
Hayes said, adding: "And this
option Is too often exercised
about the time the first illness
occurs"
In other prepared testimony,
DR.. William A. Sawyer, medical
conSultant to the Machinists
Union, said many older persons
do not receive the medical care
they need because they do not
have the money to pay for it.
1.-THE barrier of rising medical
care costs confronting many
workers is of such proportions
as to frighten them and they
