BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 20
(AP). - Truckloads Of black
helmeted gendarmes rushed TO
guard the United States En-
bassy here today after a dem
onstration by sympathizers of
the embattled Katangan regime
Of President Noise Tshombe.
About 200 demonstrators, rail-
lied by the Belgian-KatangeSe

leave the United Nations" and
Long live Katanga."
The gendarmes broke up the
demonstration without serious
incident and set up barbed wire
in front of the embassy.

drive for legislation, have
reached agreement. The Com
missioner said he was now
satisfied" with proposed leg
islation.
This appears to clear away
the roadblock that has existed
since last spring. District Off
cials have acknowledged that
investment houses should be
regulated here-as they are in
48 Of the so States-but they
previously contended that the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission, rather than the Dis

Mr.. Acheson said yesterday
that he was now more hopeful
than at any previous time that
a bill can be presented to Con-
gress at the beginning OF the

The increases in Federal clas-
sified and postal pay would
bring them up to compatibility
with industry salaries as of
early 1862, the last date when
the BIS compared salaries.
Mr.. Kennedy will also pro-
pose sizable pay raises for Gov

whose pay is set under the
Executive Pay Act.
The proposals are said to cal
for a $35,000-a-year salary fol-

An erratic winter storm hit
the Washington area yester-
day, creating treacherous driv-

streets with 3.6 inches Of wet,
slippery snow.
Sleet and rain, respectively,

new record for total December
snowfall here-16.2 inches. The
old mark, las inches, was set
in 1882.
Colder weather is expected
to grip the Washington area at
least through Monday, the FORE
caster said, and the slush
created by the rain and snow
yesterday was expected to freeze
up, causing continued driving
hazards.
The one bright spot in the
weather forecast was for sunny
skies today, but this was not
expected to keep the tempera-
lures from staying well below
the freezing mark.
City, county and State high
way officials modified hun

combat highway hazards that
increased throughout the day.

The President interrupted his
winter vacation at Palm Beach
Fla, for a helicopter trip to
Miami to bring my Nations
respect for your courage and
your cause" to the lib Cubans
released from Castro prisons
just before Christmas.
During the nearly 80 minutes
he and Mrs. Kennedy spent in
the Orange Bowl, the voice of
the crowd hardly ever was
hushed. 1t was largely a
Spanish-speaking voice, a blend
from the juSt-released prisoners
and their relatives and friends
in the stands. 1t roared words
like "Libertad"- Liberty and
"Guerra"-War.
President Heartened
The enthusiastic response to
his appearance and to his
numerous references to an
eventually free Cuba obviously
heartened the President, whose
conscience long has been trou-
bled by the burden of RESPONSE
bility he bore for the disaster
that befell Brigade 2506 in
the April, 1861, Bay of Pigs
invasion.
Mrs. Kennedy gave the Cuban
freedom fighters and their fell
low-exiles an emotional wallop
by speaking to them in fluent
Spanish Of her admiration for
the bravery Of the men who
fought for three days against
overwhelming odds on the
beaches at the Bay of Pigs and
then survived 20 months as
Castro captives.
1T is my wish and my hope,
said Mrs. Kennedy, that her
2-year-old son, John, jr., some
day may be a man at least
half as brave as the members
of Brigade 2506."

The reason for the large In
creases for the upper-middle
and top grades is that Congress
did not fully follow the pay
compatibility principle in en-.
acting the Federal pay reform
law this year.
This was because no Execu-
tive Act pay recommendation
had been made by the admin
istration. and Congress did no
want to raise the pay Of Fedora
career employees above that Of
their bosses-not to mention
the fact that Congress didn't
want to raise the pay Of career
employees above that made By
members Of Congress.
However, Congress recognized
the problem and invited the
administration to submit add,
tional pay proposals for the
super-grade jobs in 1868, alonl
with other recommendations II

Lean and Hard
There were not fat men for
the President to see in the
brigade ranks. They appeared
to be well-fed, but lean and
hard. Mr.. Kennedy, who had
thought the freedom fighters
all were young men, was much
impressed to find men in their
SOS and COS in the ranks.
The highlight of the emotion
packed ceremony came when
the President and the brigade
officers joined Mrs. Kennedy,
Cuban Revolutionary Council
President Jose Miro Cardona
and other leaders of the stout
hearted exiles on a raised stand
near midfield-facing the bri-
gade and most of the crowd.
Erneido Olivia, second in COM
mand of the brigade. presented
to the President the brigade
flag which had flown over the
Bay of Pigs command post for
three days and was slipped
away from capture by a Senor

Manuel Artime, civil head OF
the brigade, had explained
earlier that the President "is
going to keep it (the flag for

clared:

California taxpayers of as much as
81 million, state auditors reported
recently.
They said physicians prescribe ex-
pensive brandname drugs for people
on welfare, then INSCRIPTIONS drug
gists fill the prescriptions with low
cost drugs and bill the state for the

When the rural electrics borrow

Under present tax laws, many
commercial power companies are able
to charge consumers for more taxes
than they actually relay to the gov

and it add sup to 81 II billion in eight

utilities to give their stockholders

Legislation passed by the S7th

Williams declared further ''fal
greater leadership by the federal
government is needed in this field
because most states "rhave serious
financial problems and are often
vulnerable to threats by an air-pollut-
ing industry to move somewhere
else"
Last year the Administration spon-
sored bill by which the federal gov
eminent would make matching grants
to states and localities for air pollu-
ton control programs. Senator Maur-
inc Neuberger (D-Ore.) introduced
a similar but stronger bill to permit
federal enforcement powers. How
ever, neither measure was acted upon
by Congress.
CALLED CRIMINAL"
Among other speakers, Congress
man John E. Fogarty (D-RI.), chair
man of House subcommittee which
deals with health problems, termed
the air pollution criminal and de-
clared the federal government must
take every reasonable and appro-
pirate means to reverse the wanton
destruction of the air.
One of the strongest speeches in
support of federal action came from
a Republican-Arthur S. Fleming,
who was Secretary of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare in the Eisen-
hover Administration. Fleming, now
president of the University of Oregon,
backed effective federal regulation,
similar to that now prevailing in the
case of water pollution.
In surprising development, the
American Medical Association
which so often oppose all federal
programs-sent a message to the
conference not only supporting
government participation in air
pollution control but also advocat-
ing it have federal enforcement
powers in the field.

wheat program for 1864, with the

is an effort to bring Americas do
mestic wheat program into better
balance and offers means of provid-
ing incentives for producing quality
wheats.
Wheat growers won't solve their
problems in ruthless competition with
one another; only the big operators
and professors will grow bigger under
the competitive programs some peo-
pie are proposing.
American farmers are already
spending upwards of $9O,000,O00 a
year for various promotion schemes
for farm products. After years of
producers assessments in dairying
the milk producers are generally
worse off and Americans are con-
Stunning less milk per capita.
Usually it is the professors, news
papers and magazines and other adj
vertising media who promote COM
modify commissions and commodity
promoting assessments.
The Farmers Union position is that
since research helps everybody, all
taxpayers should bear the research
costs. The best way to promote great
er use of farm products is through |
Increasing purchasing power of the
consumers. The human stomach can
hold only so much food at one time.
Should farmers continue to compete
With one another fighting to fill that
our-pound stomach, trying to out
'roduce and outwit one another? Or
hould farmers work together for
etter farm program for producers
f all farm commodities and get more
