5 Sticks Of Dynamite
Found Near Capitol
Caps Also
In Package,
Police Say

Five sticks Of dynamite were
found Just off the Capitol
grounds yesterday.
Along with four blasting caps,
they were wrapped in 2 news
paper.
A Capitol policeman spotted
the bundle at $50 am. beside
the sidewalk on c street be-
tween First and Second streets
NE. The package lay in the
dirt where a congressionally-
owned parking lot meets the
property of the private Senate
Courts Apartments, Capitol
Police Chief Charles Sullivan
confirmed today.
Chief Sullivan said the dy-
Mantle and caps were sent
to Fort McNair for examine
ton and disposal.
Near Senate Offices
The closest Capitol building
is the New Senate office
Building located across the
street at an angle.
Construction crews are at
work on Capitol Hill, but there
has been no dynamiting.
An Army spokesman said
specialists in the bomb disposal
unit at Fort McNair declared
that the contents Of the parcel
included q 4-foot length Of
time fuse.
The dynamite sticks, caps and
fuse were not connected, the
official said.
| He said the explosive was in
five standardized dynamite
sticks about 8 inches long. The
nonelectric blasting caps were
in q separate container in the
parcel.
Although the sticks and caps
were not Joined for immediate
defamation, they could have
been readied for blasting in a
few minutes.
An Army explosive expert
said a match dropped on the
paper parcel could have set
off one of the blasting caps,
decorating the dynamite.
The paper was dry and APP
parently had not been rained
on, Capt. Sullivan said.
Weather Bureau observers
said that prior to yesterday
evenings rain and drizzle, there
had been no rainfall in the
area since 3 am. Saturday. The
pa ckage apparently was
dropped near c street over the
week end or early yesterday.
FBI Notified Quickly
First efforts to keep the dis
covery quiet apparently were
motivated by an official con-
Germ that the report might be
magnified beyond its signifi-
canoe in the emotional after
math of President Kennedy's
assassination and his suspected
assaSsin's death.
But the FBI was notified i'm
mediately after the Capitol
policeman reported his find.
1t was believed that leaders
Of Congress and aides at the
White House were informed,
too.
Officials said the dynamite
was wrapped in a newspaper
dated November 81. the day
before the President was as
saSsinated.

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 3 CAP)
Pope Paul VI reduced the de-
pendence of Roman Catholic
bishops on the Vatican Curia
today, extending them certain
limited powers on a permanent
basis.
The Roman Catholic pontiff,
appearing in person before the
Vatican Eumenical Council,
promulgated a degree which
apparently put him on the side
Of progressive bishops on col
legiality-the concept that the
bishops as a whole share with
the Pope in authority over the
church.
The main power granted by
the Pope was the right for the
bishops to exercise on their own
40 faculties, or powers, they
previously could use only on
application to the curia.
Pope Paul also granted eight
privileges, or concessions. One
is entirely new for bishops. 1t
is the privilege, previously pos
sessed only by Cardinals, to
preach and hear confessions
anywhere in the world, and not
in their own dioceses alone.
The other seven privileges
like the faculties-were previ-
ously allowed on application.
Marriage Case Decisions
One of the most important
grants is the right of bishops
to decide marriage cases in

Arts Memorial
For Kennedy
Both Houses Get
Bills to Rename
Cultural Center
BY ORR KELLY
Star Staff Writer


President johnson gave his
support today to the proposal
to dedicate the National Cul-
tural Center as a memorial to
the late President Kennedy in
an administration bill pre-
pared for introduction in both
Houses Of Congress.
Democratic legislative lead
ers emerged from a meeting
with the President this morn
ing with copies Of the bill
which would name the center
the John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Memorial Center and provide
for Federal funds to match,
dollar for dollar, private con-
tributions for both construc-
ton and operation of the
center.
Senator Humphrey, Demo-
crat Of Minnesota, said the
administration bill would be
introduced today by Senator
Fulbright, Democrat of Arkan-
sas, as a modification of a
similar bill he introduced last
week.
On the House side, the ad-
ministration bill was intro
duced this afternoon by Rep
resentative Wright, Democrat
of Texas, a member of the
center's board Of trustees.
Half Way to Goal
Nearly half of the $50 million
needed for construction Of the
center has already been raised,
either in cash or in pledges.
Passage Of the administration
bill would clear the way for a
start of construction in the
near future.
Edward Durell Stone. archi-
tect for the center, has es-
timated that it would be tech
nically feasible to start con-
struction before the middle Of
next year.
Passage of the bill would also
help to solve a problem that
has been worrying those con-
nected with the center-the
problem Of how to provide an
endowment sufficient to make
the center q truly significant
focal point for American music
and drama.
Senator Humphrey said the
bill to be introduced today
had been approved by members
of the family Of the late Presi-
dent and by trustees Of the
center.
Board Will Meet
The executive board of the
center's trustees will meet at
2:30 pm. tomorrow at the CEN
ter offices. 1701 Pennsylvania
avenue NV. One Of the major
items on the agenda will be
discussion of the changes that
will have to be made in plans
for financing and building the
center.
The joint resolution prepared
for introduction in Congress
provides:
That. as a mark of respect
and affection for President
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, as a
recognition of his abiding desire
to promote and encourage the
arts in America, and as a COM
memoration of his great serv-
ices to the Nation and people
of the United States, the Ma
tional Cultural Center shall
be known hereafter as the John
F. Kennedy Memorial Center. +"
The center is planned for a
13-acre site on the bank of the
Potomac near the new Roose-
welt Bridge. Plans include a
1,200-seat theater, a 2,750-seat
symphony hall. a 2,500-seat hall
for opera, musical comedy and
ballet, and a garden-like roof
area for band concerts, art ex-
hibits, festivals, theater-in-the-
round and balls.

Rep. Jamie L. Whitten Of

tee, said he would demand a
full explanation from the Pen
tagon for the reason the Green
vile base was selected.
1.-The question to be developed
is whether the selection of
Greenville was an objective de-
cision," he said.
The Mississippi Democrat said
he intends to question Pentagon
spokesmen when they appear
before the defense appropria-
tons subcommittee in January.
Whitten took issue with Nc
Namara's choice Of Greenville
to be disposed as compared
with other bases offering the
same type of training"
Sen. James 0. Eastland said,
''There are bound to be hard
ships involved" He said the
Mississippi delegation was ad-
viSed at the time the present
technical training program was
initiated that the base had a
very low priority"
Mississippi Sen. John StenniS,
in expressing regrets over the
plans, said the base had been
on the marginal list for some
time"
He promised to exert every
effort to see that the valuable
facilities at Greenville are util-
lied in some necessary and es-
sential part of our defense pro-
gram.
The base, constructed in 1941,
served as a pilot training base
until late 1860 when its primary
function was changed.
It presently serves as a tech
nical training base with the

FBI Busy, Quiet
On Investigation
OF Sinufra Case

LOS ANGELES (UPD-T h e
FBI today secretly pressed it s
search for kidnapers of Frank
Sinatra Jr. while declining COM
ment on reports it had taken
motion pictures Of the suspects
with a long-range camera as
the $4,000 ransom was being
picked up.
Frank Sinatra Sr. was report
ed by a close friend to have
seen the pictures, taken with a
telescope lens and infra-r e d
light, and recognized two of the
suspects.
The friend, director of one of
the San Francisco Bay areas
largest liquor distributorShipS,
refused to have his name used.
He and a Bay area night club
owner who corroborated tn e
story, said they wished to re-
main anonymous because of the
delicate nature of the search
and to protect people from
whom they received the infor-
nation.
There were other published
reports of alleged d evelo p
ments in the case, including
one by a reporter for a New
York City newspaper that the
agents who questioned young
Sinatra ''felt he was too pat
with his answers. Too neat"
In Washington, the FBI dis
closed today it has the serial
numbers on the ransom money.
A spokesman said a list of num-
bers is being d tr i b u t e d
throughout the nation. 1t is Al

The policy increased specu-
lation that the FBI, playing a
lone hand, was preparing an
alright case that could be an
nounced by the attorney gener-

J. Edgar Hoover as has been
the pattern in recent federal
cases.
