church's general convention
last fall:
Western civilization is
threatened as it has never been
threatened since the Turkish
hammer beat against its wells.
The United States is called
to a central and indispensable
vocation in our time, since no
constellation Of nations, with
out our power, military and
otherwise, can compete success
fully with communism"
Referring to the address,
Bishop Lichtenberger said:
HE then suggested a four
point program for the United
States to follow in military, dip
lomatic and foreign aid policy
in order to save the West. Did
the Charleston Episcopalians'
ever hear of this? What is their
definition of patriotism?"

1882, DR.. Mollegen has been &C
claimed for giving classical
Christianity an appeal to in

extensively and is the author
of a number of theological
works.
DR.. Mollegen reported that
after the clamor against him
arose, he twice conferred with
President r. c. Edwards of

tual agreement" that he would
not appear in South Carolina.

wiretap was authorized by
State law.
He added that the inadmis-
stability of wiretap evidence in
a Federal court under current
law has "prejudiced the en-
forcement of Federal statutes
designed to protect the national
security" He noted that every
Attorney General for the last
rs years has authorized wire
tapping by Federal agents in
particular cases involving the
national security.

Calling present laws on wire

said the right of privacy is not
being protected and law en-
forcement agencies are being
unduly hampered.
He said existing law has
proved ineffective and the
present situation is unsatis-
factory.
Cites New Dilemma
"This is highlighted," he
said, "by the fact that State
and local prosecutors are now
faced with the dilemma that
the exercise of overlapping
authority conferred by State
law may violate Federal law"
He pointed out that courts
have indicated it would violate

The Secretary left the i'm
preston that the privilege
would be invoked if the sub
committee persisted in efforts
to obtain the names of CEN
sors who reviewed particular
speeches or statements.

ceive the reasons which under

Namara wrote.
Can Invoke Privilege
Mr.. Mcnamara said he had
been informed by his legal
staff and the Justice Depart
ment that circumstances would
Justify, as a matter of law,
invocation of the doctrine of
executive privilege" Then he
added:
"As you know, this admins
tration has not yet invoked the
doctrine and is most loath to
do so. It is our intention to
make the fullest information
possible available to Congress
at all times in aid of its legiS-
lative purpose.
''It is our view that impasses
between the executive and leg

avoided by resolving questions

He addressed his remarks d.
rectly to Cyrus R. Vance, gen.

Department. Senator Stennis
suggested that he and Senator

DR.. Mollegen said today that
in the 1930s he belonged to
"anti-Nazi and civil liberties"
organizations which also con-
tanned some Communists. But
he added that his purpose was
not to further communism, but
to fight nazi-ism and promote
civil liberties.
Deploring the action by the
Charleston EpiscopalianS,

Mr.. Sylvester defended the
Pentagon's censorship practices
in a statement he delivered be-
fore q special Senate Armed
Services subcommittee investi-
eating whether defense leaders
have been muzzled in talking
about communism.
Names UndiscIOsed
AS public hearings contin-
ued, the subcommittee pom
dered what to do about a sharp
collision with the Kennedy ad-
ministration over the refusal
of a Pentagon censor to name
individuals who reviewed par
ticular speeches.
The witness, Willis D. Law
renee, said he was acting on
the instructions of Secretary
of Defense Mcnamara.
This occurred at yesterdays
hearing and raised the ques-
ton of executive privilege
which has plagued congress
sional investigators for a long
time.
Secretary Mcnamara, in a
letter to the subcommittee to-
day, said he was not motivated
by any desire to invoke a con-
stitutional principle when he
instructed Mr.. Lawrence not to
disclose the names of censors
who reviewed particula r
speeches.
my reasons" he wrote,
were based simply on my firm
conviction that this refusal
would in no way inhibit the
investigation but was at
the same time absolutely essen
tial to maintain sound prin-
ciples of management of an
executive department, but not

he was "astonished" to find
that the stockpiling program
had piled up some SIT billion
worth of Internationally $3.4
billion in excess of "our emery
ency requirements as presently
determined"
He described "this excessive
storage of costly materials" as
"a potential source of excessive
and mconscionable profits" as
well as "a questionable burden
on public funds"
SymingtOn Agrees
Mr.. Kennedy said Senator
Symington, Missouri Democrat
who heads the Armed Services
Committees thHe-man stock
piling subcommittee, agrees that
the situation should be COM
pletely explored without de-
lay"
Senator Symington, back in
his office today after a trip
to New York, planned to con-
suit Immediately with the
other Stockpiling Subcommit-
tee members on how to pro-
coed with the investigation.
Other members of the group
are Senators Thurmond, DEM
ocrat of South Carolina, and

Symington also are members
of the special subcommittee

into charges of "muzzling" of

Georgetown
Renewal Plan
Other Areas Rate
Higher Priority,
City Heads Soy
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The District Commissioners
today told city planners to
shelve a proposal for urban re-
newal action in Georgetown.
In a letter to the National
Capital Planning Commission,
the Commissioners said other
areas of the city have priority
over Georgetown on urban re-
newal efforts.
The letter said, in effect,
that the Commissioners will
not indorse urban renewal &C
ton in Georgetown at this
time.
Last month, the planning
commission directed its staff
to prepare an urban renewal
plan for Georgetown with rec
concentrations to carry it out.
The District Commissioners
have the final say on whether
the city wants to use urban
renewal machinery.
After a planning commission
meeting today, Mrs. James H.
Rowe, jr., chairman, acknowl-
edged that the commission had
received the Commissioners
letter.
"Reserving Comment"
For the present, the COM
mission is reserving comment,
she said.
1--WE have received the letter
and have discussed it in ex-
ecutive session, but unfortu-
nately, District Engineer Com
missioner Clarke could not be
present and we feel we should
not take action without his
presence"
Engineer Commissioner
Clarke is an eX-officio member
of the planning commission.
In the letter Commissioner
Walter N. Tobriner said:
1.-THE particular area of
Georgetown designated for
study does not appear to be
so blighted or so deteriorated
at to warrant urgent public
action at this time.
Northwest Singled Out
con the other hand, the
Northwest I'D precinct) to
which the District Of Columbia
Is deeply committed. is such
an area and has been given a
high priority for urban renewal
action. Because of limited re-
sources, the Board Of Commits
sioners believes the Districts
urban renewal efforts should be |
concentrated on projects which
are more urgently needed from
an overall community stand
point"
BY limited resources" the
Commissioners meant District
funds and the ability to re-
house those displaced by the
urban renewal projects.
Under a proposal by the plan
ming commission staff. the Re-
development Land Agency would
take over a 97-acre area of
Georgetown for rebuilding in
accordance with an urban re"
newal plan.
This section is bounded by
Rock Greek Park and Key
Bridge, and by M street and
the Potomac.
Doubts Expressed Earlier
At last months planning
commission meeting, some OF
the commission members ex-
pressed doubt that Georgetown
deserves priority over blighted
areas for urban renewal.
In the letter from Mr.. To-
briner, the planning commits
sion wss reminded that the
District recently authorized the
drafting of a community re-
newal program, which Is a
master plan designed to estaS-
lish priorities for urban re-
newal projects based on need
and resources.
Accordingly, the letter said,
the Commissioners believe
that official actions which tend
to commit the District to pro-
jects other than those in the
above category should be de-
ferred until there is guidance

PortioI Text Of Message. Pose AS
ance and child welfare laws
that, for the most part, date
to the depression days of the
1930s.
Then the major cause Of
poverty was unemployment and
economic depression, Mr.. Ken
nedy said.
To-day, in year of relative
prosperity and high employ
ment, we are more concerned
about the poverty that persists
in the midst of abundance" he
said.
The administration estimates
the cost of the new programs at
$93 million, which is included
in the budget.
The two largest expenditures
would go to increase Federal
matching money to States to
strengthen Services-about $40
million-and to cover the cost
of grants to unemployed faith
ers-about $35 million.
Americans are spending
about 81 billion on assistance
programs today. The Federal
Government provides about So
billion Of this.
Refers to Newburgh
In a slap at some local eff
forts to slash relief rolls, the
President, without directly
naming the instance which has
stirred national controversy,
that of Newburgh, N. Y, said:
Communities which have
for W h atever motives - at
tempted to save money through
ruthless and arbitrary cutbackS
in their welfare rolls have
found their efforts to little
avail. The root problem re-
NAMED"
BY contrast, Mr.. Kennedy
said, communities which have
tried the rehabilitative road"
for relief clients have Jared
better: Families have been re-
stored to self-reliance, and
relief rolls have been reduced"
This approach can be fur
thered, he said, if Congress
will enact broad revisions of
the rules under which the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare makes Federal aid
grants to match State welfare
OUTLAWS.
Leading Proposals
Mr.. Kennedy made these
proposals:
l. The Federal Government
would pay three-fourths, in
stead of half, of the cost Of
services States provide for the
rehabilitation of INDECENT per-
sons and to aid in preventing
their going on welfare rolls.
This would encourage States
to increase professional staff,
reduce caseloads and give per-
Sonal attention to those with
severe problems.

Support Levels
Are Increased

Certain changes in the 1863
Feed Grain Program were an
nounced Monday by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture according to
James E. Warren, chairman of
the Virginia State ASC Commit
tee. The changes are as follows:
I'D The corn price support
loan level was increased from
Sl02 per bushel to a national
average of $l.07 per bushel. In
addition to this, the 18 cents per
bushel payment in kind specified
by law, announced previously,
makes the total support level
to cooperating farms at SIPS
per bushel
~ The barley price support
level was raised from 70 cents
to 81 cents per bushel. With the
IA cents per bushel payment in
kind the total support level to
cooperating farms is SO cents
per bushel.
80 The support level on grain
sorghum was raised from $1.62
/ to Sill Per hundredweight. This
plus payment in kind of %
cents per bushel brings the total
support level to cooperating
farms 70 $500 par hundred
