Mr.. O'Connor, an oil mar

Hopes to Block Move
Senator Proxmire's an.
nounced objective is to induce
the Senate to send the nom
ination back to the Senate
Commerce Committee, which
had approved it unanimously 9
week ago.
"I don't claim I'll win," Sen.

said, he hoped his speech will

Volunteers Continue
Surge of EnIistments

.13,700 men, an arrnored divi-
sion 14,600. But the present
permanent strength (the cadres
of already trained mem in
those divisions is believed to
be less than half of authorized
combat strength.
Completing Plans i
The Defense Department and
Army now are completing de-
tailed plans for adding man.
power, training men and con-
verting the three STRAF divi-
sions to cobalt outfits. Then
they will be added to the IL
combat divisions now in the
Army.
The threat Of the draft is
spurring voluntary recruiting
for all services. Only the Army
uses the draft. Mr.. Kennedy
said that draft calls might be
doubled or tripled. SubseA
quently, the quota for August.
which had been set on July IL
at 5000, was boosted to $4,000.
Announcement of the Sep
tember quota is expected within
"a few days. Secretary Of De-
fense Mcnamara has said 1t
will be at least 10000.
Latest volunteer, first-enlist-
ment recruiting figures are for
June and those are still an
estimate. -
Normally an Increase -.
The Army estimate is about
10000, compared with 6,400 for
May. However, there is a nor
NAL sharp increase annually
between May and June. This
results from the end of school
years. when youngsters decide
to enlist and get their military
obligations behind them, rather
than be drafted.
The estimated volunteers for
the Air Force in June totaled
about 1000, compared with
1900 in May; the Navy, 1,405
compared with 4,700, and the
Marines, 2,643 compared with
l 900.
But the trends now being
noticed. since July IS, "are
better than they would be sea-
sonally," a Pentagon spokes-
man said today. These trends
are on the basis of applications
by volunteers. The number. of
eventually accepted volunteers
will be less than the total of
applications for a number of
reasons, including physical and
mental standards and other
factors.

Senator Proxmire, Demo
crat of Wisconsin, told the
Senate today President Ken
nedy's appointment of a for.
mer Texas oil man to the
Federal Power Commission
amounts to stacking the deck
loading the dice, against the
householder"
Senator Proxmire renewed
his one-man fight against
Senate confirmation of Law
renee j. O'Connor, jr., for 8
seat on the FPC. which regu-
lates the oil and gas industry
among others.
He told reporters he doubted
that a vote on Mr.. O'Connor's
nomination would be reached
before tomorrow.
Senator Proxmire spoke
during most of yesterdays
nine-hour Senate session, anc
said he would need eight to lC
hours more today to complete
his speech.
Denies Filibustering
But as he resumed his
speech today he denied he was
filibustering. He said he has
stuck to his subject of criti-
cizing Mr.. O'Connor's fitness
for ne post, and has not used
o. rum calls or other delay
v q tactics to consume time.
Senator Proxmire charged
that Mr.. O'Connor is a man
with a "built-in bias in favor
of the industry" he would help
to regulate as a FPC member
He also quoted statistics which
showed, he, said, that the in-
dustry has such vast power that
it has obtained special taS
benefits under which some rich
oil companies pay a lesser rate
than wage earners do.
He said they don't need q
spokesman on the FPC in addi-
ton to this.
Declaring it would serve nc
purpose to mention names
Senator Proxmire said "a huge
oil company" he identified only
as "Co. A" paid Federal income
taxes of $5,26O,OoO in 1857
which figured out to 14.9 pei
cent of its net income of about
$35 million, and in 1858 paic
only $367 900 taxes or 1.9 pei
cent of the net earnings. N
Cites Smaller Firm
almost any wage earnel
falls into the 20 per cent in
come tax bracket" he said.
The Senator cited a Go. b

ings of 1921, 900.
He said most corporations
outside the oil industry pay
taxes ranging from Al to S:
percent of. their net earnings
He said this shows a ''tremend'
Gus advantage" given oil-gal
companies by the tax laws.
The Senate met two hour,
early with Majority Leader

Mundt Scores
'MuzzIe' Memo
Of Mcnamara
Ry the Associated prea.

Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara says it is 1nappro-
priates for Pentagon officials
to make foreign policy state
ments outside their normal
duties.
These are matters for the
State Department, he said, not
for civilian or military officials
in the Defense Department.
Mr., McNamara's views, ex-
pressed at a Senate subcom-
mittee hearing yesterday.

against any effort to ''muffle

strict officers and others from
making public statements on

The Defense chief said the
directive, which has been Bit
terly protested by Senator
Thurmond, Democrat of South
Carolina, was not intended to
prevent personnel from express
sing personal opinions, in a
balanced" manner, before con-
gressional committees.
Senator Mundt asked if an
officer would be barred from
giving a speech on the nature
Of the Communist menace, or
the need for national defense,
because of the conspiracy
launched by Moscow"
Mr.. Mcnamara replied that
a major recently returned from
Southeast Asia might discuss
Communist aggression in that
area, but would hardly be quail
fled to discuss the Soviet eco
nomic system, for example.
Senator Mundt disagreed.
Our servicemen can speak
with authority" Senator Mundt

Book Describing

Bunned at School

LEVITTOWN, N. Y, Dec. IL
(AP).-A history book contain
ing four pages on the pioneer
custom of bundling has been
banned from the high school
in this Long Island community
after a tWo-Week controversy.
Bundling was the practice of
an unmarried couple, fully
clothed, occupying the same bed
to keep warm.
Levittown's School Board
voted, 4 to l, last night to stop
use of the book, History of the
United States from the Age Of
Exploration to 1865" in the Gen.
Douglas Macarthur High
School.
Shortly after the book ar
rived at the school, Ernest ].
Orlandini, social studies chair
man, ripped out the four pages
on bundling on the ground they
were in bad taste and might
even be immoral"
Some students and their
parents protested the action as
censorship. Principal Donald
Grant ordered the four pages
restored, but the school board
ruling upheld Mr.. Orlandini.

Suit Over Capitol Tile
Gets Into Fine Points

Today. however, acting Cap
itol Architect Mario Campbell
said he had measured the tiles
in question, and discovered that
any irregularities are convex,
not concave. He added that
measurement of the convex ir-
regularities with a feeler gauge
"a thin length of metaD
showed there were differences
of only five one-thousandths
and eight e-thousandths of
an inch.
Mr.. Campbell said he also
measured other tiles near the
spot where Mrs. Mcnamara
claims she fell and did discover
concave depressions in the
floor, but these were not IN the
ornamental tiles installed be-
fore the Civil War. He said
that he found Gepressions in
two tiles measuring up to one
twenty-fifth OF an inch, with
other depressions measuring
less than this in three other
tiles.
The acting architect said the
ornamental tiles which do have
irregularities could not be re-
placed without tearing up the
entire floor. He added that the
irregularities would have to be
ground down. destroying the
ornamentation.
Judge Holtzoff, noting that
he expects to go look at the
accused tiles, added that he
had tried other cases involving
depresSionS in floors.
But l have never tried a

Recent Indication of Plans
Recently, in a speech before
the American Public Welfare
Association, the HEW chief had
indicated what the broad re-
orientation of Government well
fare policy would be when he
declared:
Changes are needed, both
large and small, and they must
be made in two broad direc-
tions. First, they must be made
to meet head-on any abuses at
all which exist in our welfare
SyStem-With practical solu-
tions. Changes must be made
to correct abuses with fair
solutions rather than heartless,
nickel-saving schemes that cost
more dollars in the long run"
Mr.. Ribicoff yesterday said
the new administrative actions
were dictated by a hard head
and a compassionate heart"
Among the 10 administrative
changes he called for are:
Establishment in each State
of a special unit TO locate de-
serting parents of children who
are applicants or recipients of
public welfare.
Strengthening of State ad-
ministrative procedures for un-
covering fraudulent assistance
claims.
Policy changes enabling the
States to permit a child with
income to conserve funds
without a deduction from the
public assistance grant-in or
der to meet future needs.
Increased attention to be
given the cases of children of
unmarried parents to determine
which families are most in need
of special services.
