Citizens Hit u. S.
On D. c. Crime

The Federal Government
was blamed for the continuing
incidence Of violent crimes on
Washington streets at an in
dignation meeting of area resi-
dents last night in a hall at
1911 Columbia road NV.
Speakers criticized 'leniency''
Of the courts and the "un-
willingness" of Congress to
support increased police pro-
lection. DR.. w. Beaver Kehne,
president Of the Adams Nor
gan Community Council, pre-
sided.
The meeting adopted a reSo-
luton placing responsibility on
Congress because of the Fed
eral nature of Washington. "
They also criticized the made
quacy of long-range Federal
action to curb juvenile Of
tenders.
Police officers at the meet
ing outlined steps for more in
tensive street and park protec-
ton but said the city needs
more patrolmen.

the other eight powers votes
If any issues are brought to the
balloting stage.
AS set up by the General
Assembly, the United States,
Britain, Italy, Canada and
France were to represent the
West; the Soviet Union, Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Romania and
Bulgaria were to represent the
Communist powers. The other
eight participants are to be
Mexico, Brazil, Nigeria, the
United Arab Republic, India,
Burma, Sweden and Ethiopia.
Western disunity is even
more painful because the whole
test-ban issue has become prac-
tically academic with the
Soviet and American resump-
ton of nuclear shots last Sep
TENDER and the outspoken re-
fusal by the Kremlin to accept
anything like the inspection
both Britain and the United
States say is required.
The closely allied Anglo
American position on testing
began to break down when
President Kennedy publicly in
sisted last month that the in
spection system be expanded to
guard against secret prepara-
tons for a test series. This was
intended to prevent a Secur-
renee Of the Soviet series of
tests initiated last September
while negotiators were discus
sing a test ban at Geneva.
Early this month Mr.. Ken
needy announced his decision
to resume atmospheric tests
late in April unless the Soviet
Union accepts a suitably in
spected test ban before then.

U. S. Expects
Candidates
To Resign

The White House said today
that administration officials
will be expected to leave the
Federal payroll before seeking
public office.
The question came up at
Press Secretary Pierre Salin-
gers morning briefing.
He was asked about reports
that the administration would
ask James M. Quigley, an As
siStant Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, to re-
sign if he decided to run for
Congress in Pennsylvania
10Th district.
Mr.. Quigley, a Democrat, was
elected to the House from that
district in 1854 and 1858, but
was defeated in 1856 and 1860.
He repeatedly has been con-
sidering making another try
this year.
Mr.. Salinger said he had no
information on Mr.. Quigley's
plans. But without reference
to him, the press secretary
added, the general rule will be
that administration officials
who run for office will be ex-
pected to resign.
This, presumably, will apply
to HEW Secretary Ribicoff,
who is expected to seek the
Senate seat in Connecticut this
fall.

The smouldering feud be-
tween the two largest Govern
nient employee unions - both
AFL-CIO affiliates-has flared
again with the National ASso-
citation of Letter Carriers as
sailing the United Federation
Of Postal Clerks as having jeop-
ardized the pay raise drive.
William Doherty, NALC pres
ident, charged that the second
largest group the UFPC, broke
a. gentleman's agreement be-
tween postal employee groups to
support the Morrison bill which
would give postal clerks and
letter carriers a 10 per cent
raise.
Mr.. Doherty's ire was aroused
when postal clerk officials, in
testimony before the Senate
Civil Service Committee, urged
that the Morrison bill be
amended to place postal clerks
in pay levels five and six in
stead of their present level four
niche. This would increase the
bills cost considerably, he
declared.
~"ThiS was gross stupidity"
Mr.. Doherty asserted in ad-
dressing the pay raise rally of
the National Postal Union at
the Washington Hotel. Inter
eStingly enough, the NPU is not
affiliated with the AFL-CIO
and is a rival of the United
Federation of Postal Clerks.
"TheSe tactics on the part of
officials of the United Fedora
ton of Postal Clerks did ir-
reparable harm to the pay raise
cause" Mr.. Doherty declared.
The letter carriers chief said
that the Morrison bill is liberal
enough without jeopardizing its
chances by adding greatly to it's
costs by moving postal clerks
into a higher job level.
Mr.. Doherty asserted that
the UFPC had broken the solid
front" of the postal employe
unions support of the Morrison
bill.

ty declared. 1--WE already have

less the State enacts a reap
portionment law. Mr.. Nc
Cormack and Mr.. Martin are
generally regarded as practical
ly certain of reelection in any
event.
Critics Of the bill complained
especially about the way it was
brought before the House. Rep
resentative Gross, Republican
Of Iowa, asserted that you
wouldn't have seen hide nor
hair of this legislation if it
hadn't been for the State of
Massachusetts, and its failure
to clear up its mess in a reap
portionment fight" Represent
alive Hoeven, Republican of
Iowa, denounced the bill as
political expediency, a seat
grab, and a bill to bail out
politicians"
In any event, in the final
hectic maneuvering yesterday
main responsibility for recon-
initial of the bill was put at
the doorstep of Pennsylvania
rather than Massachusetts,.
The downfall of the bill began
when the House adopted, 121-
IS, an amendment offered by
Representative Walter, Dem
ocrat of Pennsylvania, in be-
half of the Judiciary Commit
tee.
The effect of the amendment
was to require Pennsylvania to
enact another congressional re-
diStricting law or have all it's
delegation run at-large.
The walter amendment
aroused doubt and apprehen-
sion among many Pennsylvania
Democrats. They were as
sured that Democratic Gov.
David Lawrence would call a
special legislative session, but
they were not sure the legisla-
tors would enact another re-
diStricting bill. Many of the
Pennsylvania congressman said
privately that they disliked the
possibility of having to run at
large.
1t was at this point that
Speaker Mccormack spread the
word he was "disavowing sup
port" of the bill. He said the
amendment meant that Con-
gress would "nullify" Missouri's
reapportiorment law and force
another Pennsylvania legisla-
tive session.
Earlier in the afternoon, spon-
sors of the bill voiced conf
dence it would be passed with
out change. This seemed in
creasingly likely when the
House rejecte d, 142-51, an
amendment proposed by Rep
resentative Trimble, Democrat
of Arkansas, to increase the
size Of the House to 467. Mr..

The Kennedy program also
will be an issue in several Dem
ocratic primary fights.
Representative Fascell of Mi
ami, rated the most liberal
member of the present delega-
ton, has drawn primary oppo-
sition from State Rep
reSentative David Eldridge, a
conservative.
In the new Miami district,
the Sd, ex-senator Claude Pep
per, who now describes himself
as a Kennedy Democrat, is try
ing for a political comeback.
He has three opponents, includ-
ing conservative State Senator
Cliff Herrell and Commissioner
Charles Hall of Metropolitan
Miami.
Republicans think they will
have a good chance to pick up
the Bird district if Mr.. Pepper
emerges as the Democratic
nominee. There are three can
didates for the G. o. P. nomi-
nation.
Two Republicans have filed
in the other Miami district,
now held by Representative
FaScell.
Other Targets of G. o. p.
Other Democrats the Repub-
licanS have hopes of upsetting
are Representatives Herlong,
Rogers and Haley-all of whose
districts gave the 1860 G. o. P.

40 per cent of the vote.
Single candidates have filed
for the Republicans in those
three districts. There also are
single Republican contenders
against Representatives Skies

Districts. all drawn by the
Democratic legislature as safe
Democratic territory.
The only incumbents to es-
cape a Republican challege are
Representatives B emmett and
Matthews.
Senator Smathers, seeking a
third term, apparently has an
easy road ahead. He has nom
inal opposition in the primary
from two little-known Demo-
Gratis. His general election op-
ponent will be Emerson Rupert
of st, Petersburg, the runner
up in the 1860 Republican
gubernatorial primary.

President Kennedy flies into
Florida today to launch the
1862 Congressional campaign
against the toughest opposition
the Republicans have yet pro-
vided in the South.
In addition to dabbling again
in politics, Mr.. Kennedy will
be resting and relaxing at a
private residence in Miami
Beach and probably will get in
some saltwater cruising.
And on the way coming and
going, the Chief Executive will
stop off for an hour or so in
Palm Beach to visit his 73-
year-old father, Joseph P.
Kennedy, who is recuperating
from a December 10 stroke.
The White House said the
President was taking his two
children, Caroline and John,
Jr., as far as Palm Beach,
leaving them for the week end
and picking them up on the
return flight Sunday night.
Mrs. Kennedy departs from
New York today on a trip to
Rome, India, Pakistan and
London.
Cramer Only Republican
Mr.. Kennedy will speak at a
$l00-a-plate Embarrassing din
ner in Miami Beach tomorrow
night in honor of Senator
Smathers.
Filings closed earlier this
week, with a record total of Is
COP. candidates challenging
in 10 of the IL Florida con-
greSsional districts.
A decade of rapid popula-
ton growth has won the State
four extra House seats, max
ing it a major battle-ground in
this falls contest for control of
Congress.
At present, Representative
Cramer of st. Petersburg
Tampa is the lone Republican
in the eight-man Florida dele
cation.
He predicted in an interview
today that the November re-
turns will bring at least one
and possibly two or three more
COP. Representative ives to
Washington.
With Mr.. Cramer's seat made
safe by the redistricting law,
the main Republican target is
the new 18th District in the
eaSt-central part of the St2Ge,
including Orlando and Cape
Canaveral. The 1860 Republi-
can candidate for Governor
carried the territory in the dis
trict and President Kennedy
lost it by a 2-to-1 margin.
With no incumbent in the
race, three Republicans and
seven DemocratS-one of them
a Self-proclaimed Kennedy sup
porter-have filed for the May
8 primary.

Geneva early tomorrow. He
and British Foreign Secretary
Lord Home are expected to
meet separately with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko Monday and possibly
Tuesday to deal with the Ber-
lin, Southeast Asia and other

Senator Sparkman, Demo-

tary expects to stay in Geneva
about 10 days.
Difference Called Minor
Senator Humphrey, Demo-

edged there is some difference
with Britain on the approach
to a nuclear test ban treaty,
but he said it is minor and
mainly at the political level.
He said he does not think
the scientists disagree.
Senator Humphrey reported
that a United States Informa-
ton Agency survey of world
opinion shows that an over
whelming majority commended
President Kennedy's decision to
resume nuclear tests in the at
mosphere if the Soviet Union
does not sign a test ban treaty

said, that atmospheric resump-

France BOycOtts Talks
Nevertheless, only five days
before the opening of the
Geneva conference, the West
ern Big Three found itself in
disarray on major issues.
France has refused even to
send an observer, thereby de-
nouncing the unanimous United
Nations vote calling for an
18-power general disarmament
conference.
Britain and the United
States, meanwhile, are working
feyerishly to restore their COM
mon front toward the Soviet
Union on inspection require
mentS for a nuclear test ban.
Britain wants to liberalize
the inspection system by re-
ducing the number of on-Site
inspections per year of suspi-
cious underground disturbances
in the Soviet Union.
The United States wants to
expand the inspection system
to watch for secret preparations
of test series by spot-checking
test sites and setting up per-
manent observation teams at
weapons laboratories.
France abstained in the U. N.
vote and had no objection when

Battle 10 Add
; House Seats

BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

A proposal to add three men,
bers to the House was in q
state Of collapse today after
carefully laid plans were dis
rupted by political complica-
lions.
When it seemed closest to
passage, the bill to enable Mas
sachuSetts, Pennsylvania an d
Missouri each to retain one of
the congressional S sea is they
lost in 1860 census changes sud-
denly fell apart yesterday. AS
a final blow, its most promi-
nent supporter, Speaker Nc
Cormack, disavowed it.
An overwhelming voice vote
sent it back to the Judiciary
Committee after confusion and
maneuvering, unusual even in
the House chamber and Hobbies.
Its most active advocates saw
little CHI ance today that it
would come back to the House.
Test of Mccormack
This move to enlarge the
size of the House to 438 men,
berS had been regarded in some
respects as a test of Mr.. Nc
Cormack's power and prestige.
1t was attacked in some quar-
tiers as a bill mainly for the
relief of Massachusetts,. 1t was
defended as a matter of fair
ness and historic tradition to
compensate for House seats
added as a result of the admis-
sion of Alaska and Hawaii az
States.
Since 1911 the House had
435 members. 1t added one
each for Alaska and Hawaii
three years ago. The 437 total,
however, was to revert to 435
at the end of this year. The
Inflated bill debated by the
House yesterday would have set
the total at 438. It did not
mention Massachusetts, Penn
Sylvania, Missouri or any other
State. Nor did it note that as
a result Of the 1860 Federal
census Is States lost a total
OF 81 House seats in reappor-
tionments, while nine States
gained a total of 10.
Headed Priority Table
The bills sponsors explained
that Massachusetts, Missouri
and Pennsylvania were the only
ones helped by the three-mem-
Der expansion bill because they
were No. l, 2 and 3 on the
table of priorities applicable
under the 1860 census"
In the priority system, the
population losses of those three
States were smallest. This en-
titled them to prime consider
alton in any House enlarge
ment move. Illinois, which lost
one seat, was fourth in line.
California, as fifth, gained nine

sized that Massachusetts, would
have had top priority for any
