The nine Supreme 9 Court
Justices, whose television view
ing habits are unknown, have
been told by lawyers how both
good and poor old movies wind
up on TV screens.
The information came out
yesterday In oral arguments in
q civil case in which six dis
tributors had been found in
violation Of antitrust laws for
old film "block booking"
Attorney Daniel M. Fried
man, who represented the Gov
ernment, maintained the dis
tributors had forced TV sta
tions to take bad old films in
order to obtain more choice
ones.
Lawyer Louis Nizer, who rep
resented the distributors, con-
tended the alleged violations
were very few and. besides, the
TV stations wanted the poor
films for fringe time.
Appeal New York Ruling
The case involves cross ap-
peals by the Government and
the distributors from a ruling
handed down last year by Judge
Archie o. Dawson in Federal
District Court in New York.
Judge Dawson found that the
obtaining Of some films had
been improperly conditioned on
the purchase of others in <vio-
lation of the Sherman Act. He
enjoined this activity.
But he did not go as far as
the Government wanted in pre-
venting future package deals.
The Government wanted pic
ture-by-picture prices, but the
Judge declined to require this.
The judge also declined to
bar another practice to which
the Government objected-the
temporary insistence on pack
age deals by distributors while
they secuted other possible
markets.
Meanwhile, the Government
contended. the station was un-
der stiff competitive pressure
to take the entire package, in
cluding good and bad films, out
Of fear another station might
get it.
Some Called Unusable
Mr.. Friedman told the jus
tices some stations had been
required to take early talkies
and unusable foreign-language
films as part Of mixed-film
package deals.

the old ones we're pretty good"

There was no explanation

A possible explanation is that

the number z in the capsules

The name was a sharp break

House action tomorrow, Mr..
Rusk conferred with the
Speaker at the Capitol this
afternoon. He left a 1900
word letter analyzing the COM
mittee's recommended reduc-
tions and expressed hope that
the House would reverse at
least the major cuts.
The committee yesterday
slashed the annual foreign aid
appropriation bill more than
Sl.3 billion below President
Kemledy's original requests.
The reduction for economic
and military assistance items
was more than $1.1 billion be-
low the SAT- billion ceiling set
by the House in an authorize
ton bill last July.
II am gravely concerned by
the drastic cut" Mr.. Rusk said.
"The foreign aid program has
a central and major role in our
foreign policy whose objectives
are to protect the security and

promote the welfare of our
country. -
II feel impelled, therefore,
to bring to your attention my
deep conviction that those OBJ
iectives will be greatly en-
dangered if this cut is allowed
to stand.
"It is obvious that a drastic
cut of the nature recommended
by the Appropriations Com
mittee would compel an equally
drastic change and weakening
of the policy now carried out
by the President pursuant to
the legislation itself. l do not
believe that any such change
in policy is desired or intended
by Congress"

Lemons, cherries, oranges and

Southern Maryland counties.
The fruit is not the orchard

1862 totaled some $18.4 million.
The famous mild Maryland

Tawes Agrees
To Back Laws
Against Slots
Small Proposes
Curb of Machines
By Referendum
By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

GOV. raves has agreed to
back legislation aimed at abol-
ishing slot machines in Mary
land.
While an official announce
ment was awaited from the
Governor. his Republican OPP
ponent in the gubernatorial
campaign, Frank Small, jr.,
came out with a proposal of
his own that would let counties
abolish slots by referendum.
The Governor was expected
to announce late today a stand
calling for ultimate State
wide elimination of slots, which
four Southern Maryland coun-
ties now permit.
1t had been his position pre-
viouSly that slots are a local
issue. His announcement is
not expected to state a specific
time for elimination of slots,
but it is anticipated that legis-
lation to carry out his stand
will be introduced at the 1868
session of the General Assembly.
Thrust to Forefront
The developments from
Democratic and Republican
camps thus thrust slot ma
chimes into the forefront of the
campaign, with the Republican
candidate in the local-choice
corner formerly occupied by
Democrats. and the Democrats
presumably crusading for a
slots-free State.
Mr.. Small, who has said pre-
viously that slots are a local
matter, today announced that
he would press for an amend
ment to the Maryland Con-
stitution which would enable
residents of Southern Maryland
counties to abolish the slots.
He proposed a constitutional
amendment which would give
the residents of any county
the right to petition the State
to put public local laws affect
ing their county on the ballot
for that county-and this would
include the slot machine law.
But they also would be free to
keep slots If they so chose.
1T has always been my posi-
ton that the counties should
have the opportunity to decide
about their own local issues.
This amendment would guar
antee them that right" he de-
clared.
Charges VacillatiOn
He accused Gov. Tawes of
vacillation on the slots issue.
"Mr. Tawes has been playing
cat and mouse with the public
on this slot machine ISSUE" Mr..
Small said. "He and David
Hume have been making deals
and they say they're going to
tell the public about them later.

Joint Resolution
Is Expected to Get
Quick Passage
By j. A. OLEARY
Star staff Writer

A resolution declaring the in
tention of the United States to
use arms if necessary to prevent
the Communist regime in Cuba
from taking aggressive or sub
versive action in any part of
this hemisphere was approved
unanimously today by two SEN
ate committees.
The Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees
also decided to make ita "joint"
resolution, which means it would
be acted on by the House and
Senate and signed by the
President.
The unanimous vote led to a
prediction the Senate would
pass it quickly tomorrow.
The Senators kept House
leaders informed of their action
as they drafted the resolution
this morning, and the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
will meet to consider it this
afternoon.
Text of Resolution
AS finally agreed to, the reso-
luton reads:
Resolved by the Senate and
the House of Representatives
of the United States of America
in Congress- assembled, that the
United States is determined
"(a) To prevent by whatever
means may be necessary, in
cluding the use of arms. the
Marxist feminist regime in
Cuba from extending, by force
or the threat of force, its ag-
gressive or subversive activities
to any part Of this hemisphere;
"(b) To prevent in Cuba the
creation or use of an externally
supported military capability
endangering the security Of the
United States; and
"(c) To work with the Organ
ization of American State, and
with freedom-loving Cubans to
support the aspirations of the
Cuban people for self-deter-
mination.
The resolution starts out with
several whereas" clauses which
merely recite the history Of the
Monroe Doctrine and treaties
this country has entered into
with other Latin American
countries.
The committee made a last
minute change in one where
as" eliminating a reference to
1858 as the date when inter-
national communism began ex-
tending its political, economic
and military influence into
Cuba.
The most significant decision
the committee reached was in
making it a "joint" instead of
a concurrent resolution, A
concurrent resolution is merely
an expression of the sentiment
of Congress and does not 60
to the President. A Joint
resolution must be signed by
the President and has the

Cormsek headquarters.
"Voodoo, you mean," said
another.
They made it plain they re-
gard the President as the chief
sorcerer of the spell that has
been laid again over Massachu-
sets by the Kennedys.
But neither they nor anyone
else is quite sure this morning
that Teddy Kennedy is merely
the sorcerer's apprentice.
Teddy. at 80, his first time
out, dragged more than a half
a million people to the polls to
vote for him in a record-break-
ing primary turnout.
It's going to be impossible
from here on in to sort out
those who voted for the family,
or the President, or for Teddy
himself.
Uphill Work for Rival
1t surely will be uphill work
for his Republican rival for the
Senate. George Lodge. When
Mr.. Lodge, at IL o'clock last
took the lead from his
opponent, Representative Cur
tis, by 1000 votes, he went into
the cold night air for the tele-
vision cameras and said he was
mot surprised" at the size of
the Kennedy victory.
He was one of the few people

Teddy was ready for victory.
To make it less tough for

headquarters are side by side

his workers, praising his op-
ponent and reminding Demo-
Gratis that they had fought be-
fore in primaries because we
care about the issues" and
united in elections because we

crush worthy of a presidential

greeting workers at the Boston
Naval Shipyard-and getting
an enthusiastic greeting in re-
turn.
He also called on fishermen
aboard a trawler, and had a
mug up"-hot coffee, and
some breakfast with them.
The victories of Mr.. Kennedy
and Mr.. Lodge yesterday set
the stage for a fourth-round
battle in an old bout between
their families for high political
office.
Mr.. Kennedy, of course, is
the youngest brother Of Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy. Mr..
Lodge is the son of Henry Cabot
Lodge, former United Nations
ambassador who held the seat
at stake in November until he
lost it to John Kennedy in 1852.
The nominees are young
men. Mr.. Lodge is 35, and Mr..
Kennedy reached the minimum
age for a Senator, 80, just last
February %.
Mr.. Lodge today challenged
Mr.. Kennedy to a series of tele-
vision debates. He proposed
that Harvard Prof. H. Stuart
Hughes, who is running as an
independent in the senatorial
contest, be included in these.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose margin
over Mr.. Mccormack is credited
in part to his TV debates with
his primary opponent, said he
would be delighted to meet Mr..
Lodge. But he gave a cold
shoulder to the idea of making
it a three-way affair. Most
Massachusetts, politicians count
Mr.. Hughes out as a serious
contender.

2-1 in the voting across the
State over his rival. State
