the board and parole officer. ex-
planned that the administrator has
statutory responsibility for any

complimenting the theme of the
story. II includes the works of
some of the great composers such
as Wagner. Mozart. Handel. Bach
and Gunod.
The Oberammergau Passion Play
traces its origin back to the year
1884 when il was presented for
the first time by the village of
0berammergau as the fulfillment
of religious vow. Every ten years
il has been repeated. Gradually
the language used changed from
Latin to German. Now, of course,
il is presented in English. This

FUNDS LACKING - The state
has run out of funds for substi-
tute teachers.
The 100000 appropriated for
this purpose during fiscal 196O-61
has been used, according to DR..
r. l.. Herbst. assistant state SUI
perintendent in charge of business
for the State De-
partment of Public Instruction.
A bill is pending in the General
Assembly which would permit dis
tricts to use state-appropriated
money in the regular salary ac-
count to defray the cost of substi-
tutes.
Meanwhile. however, substitutes
will have TO be paid from local
funds.
At least one school district has
no such funds for this purpose.
George H. Keen, superintendent of
Georgetown schools, has announc-
ed that "since the local funds ac-
count has already been budgeted.
the district will not hire substi-
tue teachers until funds are appro-
priated."
What will be done in the event
of illness of regular staff MEM
bers?
Emergency measures will be
initiated to provide supervision
for classes whose teachers are alb
sent because of Illness" Keen
said.

Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee, called the first wit
ness. Like yesterdays hearing,
that was as far as the hearing
got,
When the Senator tried to
swear in the witness, Senator
Wiley, Republican of Wiscon-
sin, called for the subcommit-
tee to go into executive session.
The arguing and name-call-
ing that followed consumed the
next three-quarters of an hour.
BY that time the Senators were
already due for an early session
Of the Senate.
Executive Session Set
Senator Kefauver made an
effort to resolve the dispute by
announcing an executive seS-
sion for 2 pm. to determine II
the hearings should be closed
to the public. He was baked
by Senator Hruska, Republican
of Nebraska, who protested that
the subcommittee couldn't meet
while the Senate was in session
Then, Senator Kefauver
called an executive session to
be held 80 minutes after the
Senate adjourned today. Sen
ator HruSka protested even
more loudly.
II don't propose to be buf-

will not submit to the arbi-
trary calling Of a meeting. ]
don't think 1t becomes the dig
nifty Of the Senate"
Senator Kefauver said that
he did not like committee meet
ings at night or early in the
morning any better than his
colleagues, but he didn't antici-
pate objections to public hear
ings. For the benefit of the
witnesses. he added. it was
necessary to get q ruling on
the closed hearing issue so that
the inquiry could get under
way. He stuck to his call for
a late meeting.
Wiley Conceived
Senator Wiley, who has five
constituents among the big
electrical manufacturers, said
he was "very concerned for
various reasons" that the sub
committee should not proceed
in open seSsion-if at all.
Senator Wiley argued that
where the court takes juris-
diction, it isn't the business of
the subcommittee to get into
the case.
He referred to the civil suit
Evening star., 1961-04-14

his memorandum was different.
Senator Kefauver argued
that If the hearings were con-
Quoted in secret session, the
public would never know what
the legislation growing out Of
these hearings was all about.
Senator Hruska argued that
the subcommittee's hearings
could be released after they
had been reviewed to see that
no harm was done to any indi-
viduals
Senator Kefauver said that
since the subcommittee was or
ganized in 1850 it had never
taken testimony in executive
session except once when a wit
ness brought in a medical GER
tificate that his condition
would suffer from a public
hearing.
Aroused by Remark
Senator Wiley and Senator
Kefauver then got into a hassle
over whether the hearings were
to get fact. or to get publicity.
What do you think these
people are here for?" Senator
Wiley roared.
II can tell you," Senator Ke-
fauver replied, they are law
yers, public relations men and
witnesses"
Senator Wiley said Senator
Kefauver was not that naive.
Senator Kefauver replied that
he was not running for office
and that he resented Senator
Wiley's unfair and unfounded
remarks"
Senator Wiley retorte d
that's an old trick to gain
sympathy"

which filed against the elec-
trical manufacturers since the
Governments biggest antitrust
suit wound up in Philadelphia
with pleas Of guilty or no
contest.
Senator Kefauver responded
that there is no line Of inquiry
the subcommittee could pursue
where some issue Is not pend
ing before the Federal Trade
Commission, the court or a
grand jury.
"If the Senator wants the
subcommittee to go out of
business, that's another thing, "
Senator Kefauver remarked.
HruSka in Fray
Senator Hruska then picked
up the cudgel for closed hear
ings. He referred to Senator
Kefauver's statement yesterday
that the cases now before the
court deal only with the quS-
ton of damages and not with
guilt.
Senator Hruska said he had
a memorandum from legal au-
thorities showing that a plea
of guilt or mo contest" does
not serve as evidence in the
civil cases and the complain
ants will still have to prove
in court the acts of conspiracy
alleged in the antitrust in
dictments.
Senator Kefauver wanted to
know if the memo he referred
to was one prepared by attor-
neys of General Electric. Sen
ator Kefauver said he had "a
14th carbon copy" Of that
memorandum but it was toe
illegible to read.
