No Advance Notice
Although not q complete
surprise, there had been no ad-
vance announcement that the
committee would consider the
three bills yesterday in execu-
tive session after an open hear
ing on two unrelated measures.
Chairman Smith repeatedly
reminded his committee col
leagues that they voted 9-6
several weeks ago to await ar
rival Of a third school aid bill
before acting on two previously
received from the Education
and Labor Committee. He
noted that the three were
available if the committee
wished to act now. Mr.. CoImer
moved to table all three of
them.
Mr.. Delaney, Mr.. ONeill and
Mr.. Madden are Catholics. On
the vote last month Mr., Della
Iney and Mr.. O'Neili sided with
Chairman Smith and Mr.. Col
mer and the five Republicans
to delay action. Mr.. O'NeIlt and
Mr.. Madden voted against the
tabling motion, however.
G. o. P. Refuses Blame
House Republican leaders
refused to apologize or take
any blame for rejection Of the
bills. The House G. o. P. Policy
Committee had gone on record
against the Federal aid-to-edu-
cation proposals In general and
many of the major provisions
Of the three bills. 1t voted
yesterday to urge Republicans
on the Education and Labor
Committee to support an i'm
pacted area bill.
Chairman Powell said he still
believed the House should pass
the three bills. He estimated
that Sls members Of Congress
have federally irmpacted areas
in their districts.
Mr.. Powell and others cited
several possible ways to bypass
the Rules Committee. This
theoretically could be done by
a discharge petition requiring
signatures Of at least 219 Of the
437 House members, q rules
suspension requiring a two
thirds majority vote for House
passage or a So-called calendar
Wednesday procedure.
Under the latter method,
House committees can be
called in alphabetical order on
Wednesdays and the chairman
could bring up any bill ap-
proved by his committee. Such
a bill, however, would have to
be acted on the same day.

COMMITTEES
JUST TOO MANY.
MCCLELLAN SAYS


Senator McC leIlan, Dem
ocrat of Arkansas, says
Congress has 303 commit
tees and that's too many.
Senator Mcclellan said
yesterday something ought
to be done to telescope
some Of the 1877 commit
tees Of all kinds maintained
by the Senate. In addition
there are 152 House COM
mittees and "a Joint COM
mitteeS of House and SEN
ate.
IF we can tighten the
burden Of Senators by re-
ducing the present scat
tered workload, If we can
eliminate just one of the
unrelated lines Of legisla-
ton through consolidation
OF present diverse RESPONSE
bilities, then it viii be time
well spent" he said. - i
Senator McClellan's c6m-
ments were in a report By
the Senate Committee on
Government Operations, of
which ne is chairman.

Iof the Prince Georges police
said a man with light blond
hair knocked on Mrs. Frazier'i
door about 9:15 am. and asked
for her husband. He had a CUR
in his hand and wore a black
Upper jacket.
When the man learned Mr.
Frazier wasn't in, the detective
added, he pushed his way in
side the apartment, asked fol-
a kitchen knife and then cut
the cords on the Venetian
blinds and a vacuum cleaner,
apparently to tie up Mrs
Frazier.
Mrs. Frazier started to flee,
and the man bounced upon her
with the knife, stabbing her
in the back, 1t. Huber reported
The asSailant ran from the
apartment. At about the same
time another man, this one with
black hair and wearing dark
pants and a white T-shirt, ap-
preached another resident OF
the apartments with a short
barrel gun ard asked if he
had seen a license tag number
The man with the gun and
the knife -wielder then fled in
the cream-colored car bearing
Maryland license tags.
Mrs. Frazier told her husband
later that the gunman told her,
This is a hold-up. Give me
all your money" She gave him
between $40 and $12, the huS-
band said.
Mrs. Frazier has been resi-
dent manager of the apart
ments for about Q month. She
kept no rent receipts there,

Bill Provides
$4,000 for

A second effort is being made
to obtain from Congress $685.
600 in damages for Charles
Bernstein, IS. who spent nine
years in prison-two of them
in death row on a murder
conviction Of which he subse-
quently was pardoned.
Speaking for a bill he intro

ocrat Of Tennessee, said enact
ment will at least partly COM
penSate Mr.. Bernstein for the
years he spent in prison for a
crime of which he was inno-
cent"
Mr.. Bernstein, of 1921 H
street NV, was convicted in
1934.of the gangster-style shot
gun Staying Of gambler Milton
(MiltSie) Henry. Mr.. Bernstein
testified he was visiting his
parents in New York at the
time Of the Staying.
After President Roosevelt had
given him a conditional pardon
in 1910, Mr.. Bernstein received
a fun pardon from President
Truman five years later.
In 1858 a bill was initiated
in the House for $25,0 900 COM
penSation for Mr.. Bernstein.
It died in committee because
the Justice Department failed
to produce certificate of in
nooence.
Senator Kefauver's office
said an attempt now will be
made for a declaration of in
nocence, regarded as a techni-
caiity that was overlooked in
hearings three years ago. The
new bill was referred to the
Judiciary Committee.

urged favorable action by Con-
greSs.
The President was asked If
he would veto a bill carrying
only the provision for Federal
assistance for impacted areas,
as Chairman Powell Of the
House Education and. Labor
Committee indicated he would.
The Presidents answer was
that the best way to obtain
passage of that particular bill,
would be to leave it as a unit
in the general school aid
measure.
The. three bills appeared SO
deeply buried today that only a
major parliamentary miracle
could revive them in whole or
in part for House consideration,
Bills Tangle
The legislation became, SO
tangled in religious, political,
financial and legal pickering
that many House members
quietly breathed signs Of relief
when the Rules Committee act
ed yesterday.
This, however, did not put an
end to recriminations or ap-
prehension as to the public and
political reaction to the COM
mittee's vote. The door still
was open for attempts to force
one or all of the bills to the
House floor, but the prospects
we're dim. rs
1 Several Influential House
members were worried as to
the effect the action would
have on House voting next
month on the foreign aid bill
There also was speculation as
to whether the apparent killing
of the school bills would hurt
the Kennedy administration
President Kennedy did not
recommend aid to parochial
or private schools.
An immediate result of the
committees vote was a move
by House Education and Labor
Committee, members. to obtain
passage Of q separate bill as
surfing continued aid to APP
proximately $500 school dis
tricts in federally impacted
areas.
Eight Blamed

hackers of the three bills today
included Representative De-
laney, Democrat of New York;

Representative Colmer, Demo-
crat Of Mississippi, and the

berS, Representatives Brown OF

voting yesterday was in secret

the bills. Those voting against

ocratic Representatives Mad

WEIGHT: Shortly after
his first marriage, Gen.
George c. Marshall, then an
infantry lieutenant, left his
bride to serve a tour Of duty
in the Philippines.
He and a brother officer
shared the interminable
tedium between monthly
steamer calls, relates Dean
Acheson in Sketches From
Life.
"One evening, an idea oc-
CURED to him. Over a year
or more, his wife, in almost
every letter, referred to her
weight. She had gained so
much or lost so much.
They decided to work out
her present weight. Starting
with an approximate weight
on their departure from the
States, Lieutenant Marshall
went through the letters,
calling out the gains and
losses, while his colleague
kept the tally.
I'm the end, they came to
the disconcerting conclusion
that Mrs. Marshall weighed
minus fifteen"

'Munchousen' Brought $500
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

Baron Munchausen, with
his fabulous lies and exag-
gerations, spawned one Of
history's most famous books,
but the boastful old German
cavalry officer was not him
self its author.
That post was filled by one
Rudolph Erich Raspe who
had heard the gabby baron
holding forth in a beer halls
Of Hanover.
RaSpe's version, in Eng
hsh, appeared first in a small
stitched book, printed in 1876,
Oxford, England. The author,
. sometime professor of arc
haeology turned thief and
swindler, had gone to London
as q fugitive and turned to
writing when he was down
and out.
The title page of the ex-
tremely rare first edition
reads, in part:
BARON MUNCHAUSEN'S
NARRATIVE OF HIS MAR
VICIOUS TRAVELS and
campaigns In Russia i.
Oxford =. :. MDCCIiXXXVI.
Collectors still argue over
which of the two issues of
the 1886 first edition has
priority-the one with Dub
lin included in the imprint
or the one without it. Either
one is worth many times its
weight in gold. Two copies
sold at auction in the 1950S,
one for $500 and the other
