Inc interview, IN written QueS-
ton and answer form, was
given January IL and cleared
for policy and security within
the Navy on January 16, ac-
cording to the Navy. This was
before Mr.. Kennedy's inaugu-
ration.
Arthu Sylvester, Assistant
Secretary Of Defense for Pub
lie Affairs, believes that even
under the directives Of the old
administration the interview
transcript should have been
cleared by the office Of the
Secretary of Defense.
Trouble on Statements
Furthermore, Mr.. Sylvester
believes Admiral Burke has not
been as cooperative as the
other chiefs of staff in CO.
ordinating policy statements. AS
an example, he pointed out
that interview transcripts Of
the same newspaperman, Elias
Demetracopoulous Of the Athens
Daily Post, with other chiefs
of staff had been double
checked with the new admin
istration.
A question in the interview,
distributed in this country by
the North American News
paper Alliance, said that Pre-
mier Khrushchev had said that
"the Soviet Union will not toll
crate Omitted States 9Th Fleet)
visits and exercises within the
Black Sea-"
Principle at Issue
Admiral Burke replied: "The
Black Sea is an International
body of water. We will
abide by (Soviet) regulations
for her own territorial waters,
as recognized by international
law. But, in international
waters we will go where we
please and she won't stop US
neither will anybody else."
The Navy interprets this as a
statement of the principle of
freedom Of the seas, but Mr..
Sylvester believes announce
ments of American intentions
in foreign areas should be left
up to the State Department.
Simple statements of the
freedom of -the-seas policy GER
tainly are not ruled out" Mr..
Sylvester said.
The interview also contained
other statements that could be
interpreted as in variance with
policy on deterrence and nu-

new administrations
The Navy believes it has been
complying strictly with new di-
receives on coordination. A
memorandum was sent by
Admiral Burke to his sub
ordinates. for instance, forbid
ding information leaks and or
dering full cooperation with
Defense information policies.

Grams, 500, 900, and old age as
SiStance, IL million.
But in his subcommittee re-
port today, Senator Mcnamara
argued that those outside the
Social Security system cannot
look forward to high quality
medical care under other ex-
isting programs and therefore
should be included in the new
social security.
His subcommittee suggested
that the cost Of including them
be financed from general rev.
enues. Those eligible for Social
Security would help finance
their own medical care by hav-
ing the taxable wage base in
creased in 1862 from $4,000 to
5000 and by paying a higher
tax In 1853 Of one-foufth Of one
per cent. The employer would
pay q similar increase in that
year.
A committee source said the
cost Of financing the benefits
for those not under Social Se-
curity would be $3.50 million q
year. But he said the extension
Of the benefits to this group
would permit a reduction of
$3.50 million in present welfare
costs, leaving a net cost Of $40
million Q year.
Other Proposals
Other recommendation in
the Mcnamara report would
have Congress:
!. Add q National Institute
Of Gerontology to the Govern
ment's health research facil-

to help the States finance

President Kennedy today
sent Congress his first farm
program, an emergency meas
ure to cut corn and feed grain
production while increasing
price supports. He asked for
action by March /.
The President recommended
an increase in the Government
guaranteed minimum price for
corn from $1.06 q bushel to
$1.20 and commensurate in
creases in the other feed grains.
But In Q sharp departure
from the Eisenhower admins
tration policy, Mr.. Kennedy
asked Congress to require
farmers to- reduce their feed
grain acreage 20 per cent in
order to be eligible for any
price supports.
Secretary Of Agriculture
Freeman said the Kennedy
plan, II adopted. would save
the Government $500 million
next year on storage and price
support costs and raise the in
come Of the affected farmers
10 to IL per cent. Consumer
prices, he said, will not be af-
fected measurably."
Mr.. Freeman told o press
conference he had discussed the
new plan with many congress
sional farm leaders. "I think
it has . fair chance Of pas
sage" he said. =.
Outlook Dark
Mr.. Kennedy, in his message
to Congress. painted q dark
picture Of the current corn and
feed grsin, situation.
The existing program" he
said. has resulted in the ac-
cumulation Of q burdensome
and dangerous surplus. At
the same time, 1t has failed to
protect farm income, and 1t Is
threatening to drive down the
prices farmers receive to
disastrous levels. Immedi.
ate action is required to pre-
vent further deterioration of
this situation"
The Government now holds
2.T billion bushels Of feed grains
In surplus storehouses. with an
investment Of nearly 81 million
in the stockpile.
Secretary Freeman asked
Congress for $500 million to
finance the administration's 8
land retirement program. He
estimated the net cost Of an
other year under the old pro-
gram would be 81 billion or
more. The net saving, he said,
would be $500 million.
Seek Conservation
Under the administration
plan. each corn and feed grain
producer would be asked to
shift 20 per cent Of the land
he planted to those crops last
year TO conservation uses. He
would receive . payment from
the Government equal to go
per cent Of the receipts he
could have expected from
planting those acres.

Mr.. Randolph observed that
the recession hits Negroes
harder than white workers.
The Negro unemployment rate
is about double the white rate,
he said, because joblessness Is
concentrated among unskilled
and semi-skilled workers.
Negroes are prevented from

program, Mr.. Randolph urged

Negroes from union member

Iment to the contrary, Mr.. RAN

cation Of about 10000 Negro

although that station had re-
ceived signals from the sphere
very early in its flight.
johannesburg picked up sig
mails from the rocket casing at
1888 am. on the second run
and held them for 19 minutes.
The scientific purpose of the
launching was to use the sphere
in a new study of the planets
atmosphere which is still a
puzZler in mans efforts to con-
quer space.
The nickname Polka Dot"
had been hung on the Satel-
lite because its aluminium foil
outer surface had 3,400 2-inch
diameter dots painted on it
with special white paint. The
idea was to help maintain
proper temperature.

and be visible to the naked eye |
at times.
The Scout was unsuccessful |

honIey-Fund
Action Seen
Aiding Dollar
BY GEORGE SHERMAN
Star staff Writer

American officials believe the
decision Of Britain, France,
Germany and seven other
members Of the international
Monetary Fund to make their
currencies formally convertible
win help the besieged American
dollar.
The INF ,stipulates that all
its loans be repaid in converti-
BILE currency. That has meant
mainly the American dollar.
Borrowing nations have tended
to demand dollars on loan be-
cause they knew repayment
must be in dollars.
Currency In Equal Status
That viii cnange now. Cur
rency Of Britain, France, Ger
many. the Benelux countries,
Sweden. Ireland and Peru have
been raised to equal status
with the dollar in international
payments.
Most Of these countries made
their money freely convertible
for non-residents more than
two years ago. That move con-
siderably reduced international
demand on the dollar.
The announcement yesterday
goes o step further. For the
first time. these currencies be-
come eligible for repayment oi
loans under the international
Monetary Fund.
Officials stress, however, thai
the change does not remove
whatever currency restriction
remain for residents Of eacf
country. During the past few
years these have been steadily
reduced.
The new move makes more
difficult any return to thu
really stringent currency re.
StrictionS imposed in many
devastated countries mediate.
ly after the war. Members Of
the INF were permitted thesC

waiver Of membership rules.

In effect, the 10 nations are

Is complete. They are pledgine
that they viii impose no new
currency restrictions without
prior agreement Of the Inter.
national Monetary Fund.

tionS were IN the same cate.

they include nine nations with
