House Rules Committee Tables All Proposals for Federal Aid to Schools

WASHINGTON R - The House Rules Committee voted 8-7 Tues day to table all proposals for fed eral aid to schools.
 The committee action in effect killed three school bills for the present session of Congress.
 Chairman Howard w. Smith, O-VaD, said: q don't know of any way the action can be re- versed in this committed"
 The motion to shelve the bills was made by Rep. William Col mer, O-MissO. A motion to re- consider the action also was tabled by an 8-7 vote.
 The committee has before it three bills approved by the House Education and Labor Committee.
 One would have provided for general federal aid for school construction and teachers sal aries; another for long-term loans for limited construction for pri vate as well as public schools; and third would have provided for scholarships.
 The school measures possibly could be revived if majority of the House membership, 219 mem- bers, signed a petition forcing a House vote. Such a move would have little chance for success this late in a session.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn said prior to the Rules Committee action that it was "very doubtful" that there would be any school aid in the House this year.

Congress Applauds
 US. Note of Warning Sent to Soviet Union

WASHINGTON tR - Congress generally applauded Tuesday the warning to the Soviet Union that the United States will maintain it's rights in Berlin.
 "The U. s. notes blunt and serious, as it must be, and ac- curately reflects the mood of the American people" Sen. Jacob K. Javits, CR-N.Y), declared.
 JaVits, outspoken advocate of firmness on Berlin, said he sup ported the administration posi- tion, "and it should be supported by all Republicans"
 Chairman William Fulbright, O-Ark0, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called the U. s. note "a very restrained, serious and effective statement of our position"
 Sen. Frank Carlson, R-Kan), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee said he was pleased with the Presidents firm state ment on Berlin"
 "In my opinion" Carlson added, i've must be firm. We have com mitments and we must keep them"
 Sen. Hubert Humphrey, O. Minne0, Assistant Senate Majority Leader, said the note, firmly and quietly expresses the determina- tion of the President to insist on the legal rights of the occupy ing powers in Berlin"

US. Says Russia Is Jeopardizing
 World Peace"

WASHINGTON R - The Unit ed States, Britain and France told the Soviet Union Tuesday it is jeopardizing world peace and en- dangering the lives of millions of it's threats against West Der lin.
 The Western Powers rejected the Soviet Unions claim that it can wipe out their Berlin rights simply by signing a separate peace treaty with Communist East Ger many. At the same time they of fered to try to work out a me gotiated settlement of the unre- solved problems of Germany"
 Should the Soviets press the crisis, the U. s. note said, the international dispute arising out of Soviet claims would have the gravest effect upon international peace and security and endanger the lives and well-being of mil lions of people"
 For this menace to world peace, the note said, the Soviet Union must bear full responsibility be- fore all mankind.
 At another point the U. s. note declared:
 "There is no reason for a crisis over Berlin. If one develops it is because the Soviet Union is at- tempting to invade the basic rights of others"
 "All the world will plainly see," the United States asserted, that misuse of such words as peace and freedom cannot conceal a threat to raise tension to the point of danger and suppress the free dom of those who now enjoy it."
 The warning was coupled with an offer to try to settle the crisis by negotiation on the principle of self-dettrmination for the Ger man people.
 Similarly, the British and French notes left the door open for negotiation.

WASHINGTON R - The high cost of electricity in Alaska was cited yesterday as one of the major factors holding up development of the 49th State.
 Floyd E. Dominy, Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, made the observation at recent hearing of a House Appropria- tions subcommittee. His testi- mony was made public Tuesday.
 Everyone, I think, recognizes the high cost of power prevailing in Alaska and recognizes the fact that it is one of the strong de- terrents to development" Dom iny said.
 Steam generated power in Alas ka costs around cents kilo- watt-hour, Dominy said, com pared to to 8 mills generally in the rest of the nation.
 He said the total capacity of dll pOWcl JldIlio III Hldohd io III the order of 300,000 kilowatts."

 Rep. John Pillion, R-N.Y0, commented ''it will be long time before Alaska can absorb profit ably, with utility, million capa- city of power it is a rather suspect situation, is it not
 At that point the discussion went off the record.
 Later Dominy said there are tremendous tural resources available in Alaska Eff we can ever get the cost of developing them down so that they can be competitive on the market"
 Rep. Ben Jensen, R-1owa), said he wondered if Alaska is "suf- ficiently interested in this power development program to pitch in

GE Pulls Out Bid
For Commercial
Satellite Role
By the Associated Press

The General Electric Co. has
withdrawn its bid for a part
in operating a United States
commercial satellite commu-
nications system.
GE said in a letter to the
Federal Communications Com
mission that it has decided not
to divert its resources into the
carrier communications field
but plans to concentrate on its
traditional role as a manu-
facturer of space vehicles and
allied equipment.
The FEC made public yester-
day an exchange of letters in
which it accepted GEES appli-
cation to withdraw its bid to
enter the carrier field.
In a first report, issued last
July. the FEC limited initial
participation in the satellite
system to the international
communication carriers. GE is
not a communications carrier
GE Vice President George L.
Haller wrote the FEC that GE
firmly supported President
kennedy'S decision to encour-
age a privately owned commu-
nications satellite system and
stood ready to help.
The FEC has asked the in
ternational communication car
riers to get together to speed
up plans for such a system. No
decision has been made on
ownership and operation.

the two branches, said he sus-
'pected the cries of anguish from
the Senate were the result of
offended dignity more than
anything else"
For years they have called
the shots on adjournment" he
said. "They have let the House
sit around for hours with moth
ing to do while Senators made
long-winded speeches before
adopting a final adjournment
resolution so we could go home
This year we got the jump on
them and it apparently has
hurt their feeling of superior
ity."
Off-the-record comment of
same House leaders threw an
other light on the situation,
which threatens to make less
friendly future relations be-
tween the two branches.
They suspected that some
Senators didn't like the COM
promise and planned to try to
reject it and force another
Serate-House conference, which
could have kept Congress in
session days more. .r
Three items in the compro-.
mise were particularly objec-
tionable to some Senators.
One made it clear that House
members could send free mail
to constituents without address,
ing it to specific individuals.
The Senate knocked the item
out of the bill originally but
it was restored in the compro-
mise agreement.
Another item eliminated more
money the Senators had voted
for their own clerical hire.
The third retained in the bill
House language prohibiting
Treasury advances, known as
back-door spending, to finance
the depressed areas program
and some housing programs.

The 1861 session came to g

the Senate, forcing the Senate
to 7go along with every detail
in a big money measure. Any
change would have killed the

that "our conversations are

Later it was learned that Mr..

an explanation of precisely
what Soviet leaders mean when
they talk about guaranteeing

The question is crucial, because
the Western powers have in

The new United States Arms
Control and Disarmament
Agency plans a staff of about
$50 employees.
However, the full component
probably won't be achieved
until after the first of the year
The last-minute action by Con-
gress in creating the agency
didn't leave time for action
on sufficient supplemental ap-
preparations.
However, Congress left the
door open for the agency to
make a supplemental appro-
priations request in January.
Consequently, the agency
plans to hire about lao people
during the next few months.
This number, plus the approx
mately 30 employees already on
hand who have transferred
over from the previous United
States Disarmament Admin
istration and the White House,
will give the ACDA about 22O
employees.
The agency particularly needs
experts in scientific research
nuclear physicists, economists
military weapons strategy
space technologists and chem
lists.
Most of the jobs will be
under civil service. Congress
has given the new agency &c
top jobs paying from $15,255
to $4,000 a year. These in
clude IA super-grade jobs, ID
