Venezuelan Sees
Kennedy on OAS
BY the Associated Press

Foreign Minister Marcos Fal-
con Briceno of Venezuela met
with President Kennedy today
and said Mr.. Kennedy had lis
tened sympathetically to Vene-
zuelan proposals for a confer
ence of Western Hemisphere
foreign ministers.
The Organization of Ameri-
can States is to vote next
Wednesday on whether such a
meeting should be held.
The conference was proposed
jointly by Venezuela, Hondu-
ras. the Dominican Republic
and Costa Rica to consider the
attitude OAS member govern
ments should assume towards
leftist or rightist coups d'etat
in the Americas.

cannot be done now.
He added that it contains
several other very essential
safeguards" which he hopes
Congress will adopt this year
The President said a bill re-
ported by the Senate judiciary
Committee on July l9, embody-
ing some similar provisions
does not go far enough"
Mr.. Kennedy noted that con-
greSSional confereeS on an ap-
preparations bill had approved
this week a 25 per cent in
crease in the Food and Drug
Administrator staff. the larg-
est single increase in the
agency'S history.

have been required to remove
him at once on the plane on
which he arrived"
Mr.. Brooke's decision was the
latest chapter in a tangled legal
case which began when Soblen,
convicted in a us. court of
wartime spying for the Soviet
Union, jumped bail of 100000
and flew to Israel. He arrived
in Israel using his dead
brothers passport and was de-
ported as an illegal immigrant.
He lost two separate court
efforts here to be set free in
Britain under habeas corpus
proceedings.
Mr.. Brooke said Communist
CZechoslovakia was the only
country known to be willing to
grant Soblen an entry visa.
Israel is not willing to receive
him, the Home Secretary ex-
planned.
Sydney Silverman, an inde-
pendent Labor member, said
Britain's extradition treaty
with the United States does not
include cases of espionage. The
Home Secretary's function, Mr.,
Silverman claimed, was limited
to seeing that Soblen did not
remain here. He added that
Mr.. Brooke's action would be
regarded as shameful"
Soblen has been offered
asylum in Communist Czecho-
slovakia. Friends in Israel and
Britain have urged that he be
allowed to go there, saying he
is a leukemia victim with only
a short time to live.
A second attempt in three
weeks to overthrow the Israeli
cabinet over the Soblen affair
was defeated in Israel's Parlia-
lment yesterday.

To End Mess
Probed Cases Show
$50 Are Ineligible,
Some Holding Jobs
By BETTY MILES
Star Staff Writer

Senator Robert C. Byrd to-
day disclosed that 95 per cent
Of cases investigated in a spe-
cial relief study have been
ineligible. and ordered Welfare
Director Gerard M. Shea to
clean up the mess" in the
Welfare Department.
Dropped from the rolls were
recipients who were holding
full-time Jobs, in jail, or who
had not lived in the city long
enough to qualify.
Senator Byrd called the reve-
lationS shocking"
He sad, I'VE ought to be
honest about it. we need a
wholesale cleanup of free
loading in the District" The
West Virginia Democrat is
chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee holding hearings on the

This department of the Dis
trict government is in trouble"
the Senator declared. There's
something wrong with this de-
partment and there evidently
has been for quite some time"
He told Mr.. Shea to come up
with a plan in about two weeks
that will embrace not only the
need Of the recipient but a plan
that will embrace cleaning up
this mess"
Struggling of Shoulders
Don't push it under the
rug" he said. Each year you
come back asking for more po-
sitionS and more money. I want
to do what I can to help you
get the new positions and
money to inaugurate new pro-
grams If they are justified.
But what have you said
about cleaning up the mess,
and ridding the relief catego-
ries Of ineligibles? I sense a
struggling OF the shoulder to-
ward the shocking revelations.
Senator Byrd added, Mr..
Shea. my opinion of you is that
you are conscientious. You
want to do a good job, do q
right job. l think you ought to
have the opportunity to clean
this thing up and viii clean 1t
up" But the Senator turned his
fire on Bernard Scholz, head Of
the Public Assistance Division.
IF you were an elected rep
resentative of the people you'd
lose your job in a hurry unless
you made things right in q

Two Probes Ordered
Senator Byrd ordered two
special Investigations after well
fare hearings last year to de-
termine the extent of possible !
cheating on relief rolls.
The first study, a sample of
5 per cent of the cases in the
Aid to Dependent Children

abled.
Eighty cases are to be in

The President told a pres,
conference yesterday that new,
about the effects of thalidomidt
emphasizes again the urgenc!
of providing additional protec'
ton to American consumers
from harmful or worthless druG
products"
Used in Europe
There have been numerous
reports, mainly in Europe, OF
deformed babies born to women
who took thalidomide as q
Sedative during pregnancy.
Mr.. Kennedy said he thought
every woman in this country
must be aware that it is most
important that they check their
medicine cabinets" and get rid
of any thalidomide.
The new drug, developed in
Germany, never was sold COM
mercially in this country, but
many Americans brought some
of it back with them from
trips to Europe and some was
distributed by an American
firm to doctors around the
country for experimental use.
The President highly praised
DR.. Frances Kelsey of the Food
and Drug Administration for
preventing commercial distri-
button of thalidomide in the
United States. He said that DR..
Kelsey spared us this terrible
human tragedy which has been
visited on families in Ger

Coach Bill Elias expects Vir-
ginia's football team to reach
its season peak and snap a two
game losing streak against
North Carolina State, a six
time loser, tomorrow at Ra-
leigh. Kickoff time is 1870 pm.
Elias handed out the highest
grades of the season following

Carolina at Charlottesville. The
Cavaliers coaching staff grades
each players performance after
each game.
Although the Wolfpack has
won only one game against six
losses and a tie, it has played

season opener.

to a clause which would re-
