Backs Mcnamara
On Senate Quiz

@. My question concerns the
impasse which has arisen be-
tween Secretary Mcnamara
and the Senate Subcommittee
inquiring into the alleged muz-
zling of the military at the
Pentagon. Do you support the
Secretary, sir, in his refusal
to identify the reviewers who
have made specific changes
in speeches, and have you any
suggestion on how the impasSe
may be resolved?
A. Well, I would like to first
review exactly what the Sec
rotary of Defense has made
available to the committee. He
has made available every
speech that was given and he
has made available all of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-08

Mr.. Mcnamara has co-operated
very fully and will continue to
do so in the areas which !
have named.
@. Mr.. President, Gov. Rock
efeller had some harsh things
to say about you last Thursday.
1t was in connection with your
uhban affairs proposal. I think
he accused you of political fax
cry. I am sure you know what
he said. Would you want to
comment on it?
A. No. I was interested in the
statement because, as you know,
in 1856 and 1857. Gov. Rock
efeller recommended the exact
proposal that we recommended.

accept that responsibility in my
opinion. the only way that the
Department can function. II he
is going to get honest and
loyal support from those who
work for him in carrying out
his policies, then Secretary
Mcnamara must accept the
responsibility and he does &C
cept it.
I think he has been extremely
cooperative with the commit
tee, and I don't think that Mr..
Mcnamara or l. however, can
agree to harassment Of indi-
viduals who are only carrying
out the policies dictated by
their superiors. I think that

mended that civil defense be
included, but as we have placed
civil defense under the mill

have, for one reason or an

Consistency Demanded
Of Interest Tax Critics

Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield today challenged
members Of Congress opposing
tax withholding on dividends
and interest to be consistent by
advocating repeal Of the with
holding system already applied
to wages.
In a strong defense of the
Presidents tax bill, Senator
Mansfield emphasized that no
new tax is being applied to
dividends and interest but said
the withholding system would
be a convenience to taxpayers
just as withholding on wages
has proved convenient to many
workers who otherwise might
find themselves hard-preSSed
to meet their tax payments on
each April Is.
Senator Mansfield said those
who oppose extension of the
withholding system must do so
because of some objection to
the principle of withholding,
since the obviously do not ap-
prove of evasion.
"If this is true" the Senator
added, then to be consistent
they must also favor a repeal
Of the withholding provision on
wages. I have been informed
that in the House a member
has proposed such a bill, and ]
must say that those who op-
pose application of withholding
to interest and dividends must
logically find themselves in ac-
cord with the Congressman's
proposition.
Earlier, Senator Douglas
Democrat of Illinois, a member
of the Finance Committee, also
issued a strong defense of the
Withholding principle in answer
to finance chairman Harry F.
Byrd of Virginia, who came out
against it yesterday.

out Senator Byrd by name,

Martin Luther King.
The 33-year-old Negro in
tegration leader. speaking in a
television interview yesterday,
declared:
'I believe segregation will
end in my lifetime. 1t may
end sooner than many of us
are able to see. I have the
feeling that within the next 10
years desegregation will be a
reality all over the South. That
is, the legal barriers will be
broken down at least in all of
the major urban areas, and this
includes the hard-core resisting
South"
Mr.. King said he rated Presi-
dent Kennedy's administration
ahead of former President Eli
senhower'S in the field of civil
rights, but added:
ION the other hand e.. I dc
not feel that President Ken
nedy has given the leadership
that the enormity of the prob
lem demands. There is still
more that the President can dc
in terms of moral persuasion,
and executive orders"
Mr.. King said there is still
bitterness in Montgomery, Ala.
over the part he played in a
fight to deSegregate buses 515
years ago.
But he said other Southern
communities have made prog
