community.
Urges European Unity
Apparently aiming at Britain
and France, Mr.. johnson said:
Progress toward an inte-
grated European community
will help strengthen the Allan
tic community. A more cohe-
sive and powerful Europe with
in a developing Atlantic COM
munity is needed to undertake
the large tasks which lie ahead.
THE essential national and
loosely co-ordinated efforts of
the past will no longer suf-
flee"
The remarks appeared di-
rected at Britain's hesitance to
join the European Common
Market and French President
de Gauue's fierce defense of
French sovereignty in the mill
tary and political fields.
The Vice President, who is on
his way home from Senegal's
independence celebra ions,
stopped last night in Geneva
and conferred with Arthur H,
Dean, the American delegate
to the United States-British-
Soviet negotiations for a ban
on nuclear weapon tests.

that a coalition might wind
up with a Communist takeover
of Laos"
But Both Mr.. Halleck and
Senate G.. o. P. Leader DrkSen,
said the meeting agreed not
to make a formal, written state
ment, to avoid embarrassment
to President Kennedy while he
is negotiating with British
Primer Minister Macmillan.
Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota said earlier that G. o. P.
attempts to define a coalition
government as one necessarily
dominated by Communists
amounts to emotional misrep-
resentation."
Partisanship Attacked
"The critical international
situation in Laos should not be
exploited for partisan advan-
tage," Senator Humphrey, the
assistant Democratic leader and
a member of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, said in an
interview.
Senator Morton of Kentucky,
G. o. P. national chairman, told
a party Embarrassing dinner in
Luray, Va, last night that
President Kennedy should "re-
pudiate" a suggestion by his
rowing ambassador, Averell
Hartman, that the only way
to make Laos a neutral nation
would be to establish a coali-
ton government.
Everyone knows that fore
ing Laos to accept a coalition
government would be the same
as delivering it into the hands
of the enemy" Senator Morton
said.
In urging a cessation of such
attacks, Senator Humphrey
said that Mr.. Kennedy and his
administration have been very
frank with the people and the
leaders Of both parties" and
that "this close cooperation
must be maintained and ex-
Ipanded."
/ Coalition Held Necessary
Political settlement will re-
quire a coalition government, {"
Senator Humphrey declared.
But coalition does not mean
Communist inclusion or DOM
nation.
ITO define coalition as mean
ing Communist inclusion is en-
gaging in emotional misrepre-
Sentation. =. We should seek
to strengthen the hands of ouI
negotiators rather than try tc
tie them"
Mr.. Hartman made it clear
in a televiSion interview last
Sunday he thinks the West is
going to have to accept the
presence of some Communists
in any neutraliSt regime in
Laos.
Senator Morton, in his
speech, called Mr.. Harriman's
) comment highly indiscreet and
fallaciouS and added:
Everyone knows that fore
ing Laos TO accept a coalition
government would be the same
as delivering it into the hands
Of the enemy.

JUSTICE

Contlnued from First Page
which are either Federal crimes
or crimes Of the State in which
they are committed.
2. Protect witnesses who CO.
operate with the Justice De-
partment or any Federal
agency. The proposed measure
would cover the intimidation or
injury of any person or giving
false or misleading information.
The maximum penalty for the
offenSe would be 5000 and five
years in prison. Mr.. Kennedy
explained that witnesses ap-
pearing in a judicial or con-
greSsional investigation already
are protected against threats or
harm, but no Federal law pro-
tects those otherwise aiding a
Federal inquiry.
Firearms Revision
3. Extension Of the Federal
Firearms Act. This law now
bars interstate shipment of
weapons to those convicted of
certain crimes Of violence, such
as murder, robbery, rape, may
hem and kidnapping. The pro-
posed measure would extend
the prohibition against weap-
ons shipment to cover all
crimes punishable by more than
a years imprisonment.
The two proposals dealing
with gambling, originally made
by Mr.. Rogers, but now revised,
would:
/. Prohibit the interstate use
Of telephones or telegraph for
betting. Unlike Mr.. Rogers
proposal. 1t would not apply to
radio and television broadcastS
Of sports events, since Mr.. Ken
nedy feels that the Federal
Communications Commission
has authority to control trans
mission Of gambling informa-
ton by these means. Mr.. Ken
nedy further noted that the
Rogers bill provided only for
the removal Of the phone or
wire facility, and 1--WE believe
it would be more effective to
make the prohibited activity a
criminal offense. The maxi
mum penalty for transmitting
gambling by interstate tele-
| phone or wire would be $4,000
and two years Imprisonment.
Gambling Breakdown
2. Prohibit interstate trans
portation of gambling materials
The revised bill would be more
specific about the material in
lvolved and would ban the inter-
Estate transportation of "any
record, paraphernalia, ticket
certificate, bill, slip, token
paper, writing or other device
designed for use in bookmaking
wagering pools with respect to q
sporting event or numbers pol
icy, bolita or similar game
Maximum penalty for trans
porting such materials woulc
be $4,000 and 5 years impris-
onment.
The three measures recon-
mended by Mr.. Rogers last
January 18 and supported BY
his successor include:
/. Immunity for certain with
nesses in labor-management
racketeering cases to compe
testimony from employers anc
employees before grand iurie!
; and courts.
2. Extension of the Fugitiv!
Felon Act to include all crime
punishable by more than ,
, years imprisonment. Like tht
J Firearms Act, this law now ap
. plies only to certain more seri'
Gus crimes. This bill woulC
make it a crime to flee acros

1860 soybean crop was valued
at $9,299,000, a big jump from
9 1859 value of S6,937,000. A
big drop occurred in the value
of potatoes raised in Delaware
this past year, the 1860 yield
being valued at only So, l46, 900,
against, $5.568,0O0 for 1859.
This decrease in value reflected,
in large measure, a drop in av-
erage price from s2.32 a bushel
to only SLAB per bushel. That
Delaware's field crops brought
in more cash this year than last
is due to the sizeable increase
in the value of the soybean har-
vest and an increase in the corn
harvest, which more than made
up for the big drop in potato
yields and sales, concludes the
