Another witness yesterday
afternoon was New York City
Police Commissioner Michael
j. Murphy. He told the COM
mittee that "the caution, So
phistication and personal con-
duct Of the major racketeers
and the insulation inherent In
their system" make it almost
impossible to secure evidence
to convict them.
Commissioner Murphy pre-
dicted the Valachi testimony
would show the need for ap-
propriate weapons to root out
the criminal cartels. He called
for Federal legislation to per-
NIT overlapping as "the single
most important weapon in the
arsenal Of law enforcement"
He also urged establishment
of a Nationwide agency to
concentrate on gathering
criminal intelligence. Such an
agency, he said, would be a

Valachi was talking with
Mr.. Hundley on their brisk
walk down the corridor when
newsmen and photographers
waiting outside the Caucus
Room got word of his approach
and rushed toward him.
Ranking officers of the Capt.

to clear a path for the star

mass Of newsmen from block

on the scene, 1t appeared, was
Valachi himself.
Security Clamps Tight
The short and stocky valachi
wore a dark gray flannel suit,
a white shirt and a red tie
with a small figure. His close
cropped gray hair had a red
dish-sandy cast that looked
like an imperfect dye job.
Chairman Mcclellan and
members of the committee
awaited Valachi inside the
Caucus Room. On the wall,
huge charts had been hung.
Valachi presumably used them
in identifying the infamous

tions surrounded today's meet
ing because the underworld
repeatedly has put a 500, 900
price tag on the 60-year-old
informer's life.
Although today'S session was
the first meeting between the
convict = turned informer and
most Of the subcommittee men,
bers. Valachi had conferred
twice with Chairman Mcclellan
once at Fort Monmouth, N. j.,
and at District Jail on Tuesday
Senator Mcclellan told re-
porters, after spending an hour
with Valachi in the Jail, the
prisoner still seemed willing to
talk.
AS for press reports that a
pSychiatrist found Valachi men
tally disturbed at Atlanta
Penitentiary shortly after the
mobster killed a fellow prisoner
there last year, Senator Nc
Clellan said he had seen the
psychiatrist'S report and that
Valachi had been found legally
sane.
Competent to Testify"
IF the court found him re-
sponsible enough to accept his
plea for murder and to SEN
tence him to life Imprisonment,
Senator McClelland said. VA
lachi is certainly competent to
testify here"
Valachi apparently knows
enough about the mob hierarchy
to whip up considerable APP
prehension in New York's fra
ternity Of crime, according to
New York Deputy Chief In
spector John F. Stanley, COM
handing officer of the Criminal
Investigation Bureau.
Inspector Stanley said he
had learned through wiretaps
and observations that the COM
mittee's new hearings into Or
ganized crime have upset the
syndicate more than people
realize"
He said the mobS are so
concerned about what Valachi
is going to say on the stand
that they have even consid-
cred hiring public relations
people"
The New York intelligence
chief, who will be recalled to
expand on Valachi's testimony,
yesterday set the stage by ex-
planning how the rulers of Or
ganized crime remain in power
despite ruthless underlings and
the full might Of Federal and
local law enforcement.
Top Ranks Insulated"
The top ranks of the crime
families" he said, insulate
themselves with a variety of
protective measures. Their per-
sonal conduct is free Of obvious
misdeeds. They have no con-
tact with actual lawbreakdrs
and routine observations of
their lives would indicate for
the most part exemplary con-
duct"
The strongest protection to
the hierarchy is the philosophy
that the boss must be protected,
he said, adding that lit is this
philosophy which has produced
80 years Of silence, this wit
ness CValachD being the only
one who dared to abandon the
credo."

sentative, the Associated Press
reported.
Y The Peavey Co.. a large Mid
western grain firm. said, 1--WE
felt it was improper for a group
Of American businessmen to be
dealing in a foreign country
with another country that Is
In ayowed enemy Of this coun-
try without the open sanction,
or preferably the request, of
the Government of the United
States"
: The two different prices for
wheat in this country present
the foremost obstacle to a deal
with Russia.
The higher one, about 50 a
'bushel, is the price the miller
pays.
But this price, artificially
supported by the Government,
IS about so cents a bushel
higher than what a foreign
importer could buy grain for
bn the world market.
Subsidy Program
To allow the United States
to remain competitive and sell
on the world market, Congress
has passed a subsidy program
which works this way:
If a friendly country" or
Eers grain from the United
States trader. it need pay him
only the average world price"
about $l.40 a bushel. The
trader then receives from the
Government a subsidy of about
so cents a bushel-the differ
ence between the world and
the domestic prices.
: In the preamble to the Agri-
cultural Act of 1861, Congress
Said that no subsidized prod
ucts should be sold to an "un-
friendly nation" A previous
law listed the Soviet Union as
an "unfriendly nation"
= Because of the obvious in
tention of Congress not to
sell this cut-rate grain to
Russia, the Commerce Depart
ment has said it would not
grant an export license to any
American trying to ship such
wheat to Russia.
+. Russia, or other Communist
countries, could buy all the
grain it wanted at the higher
domestic price, but this is not
considered likely.
Administrations View
> The administrators view,
generally, is that it would be
in the interest OF the United
States to sell wheat to Russia.
Such sales would reduce the
wheat surplus in this country
now estimated at IL billion
bushels-and it would help the
balance of payments problem
But the administration be-
lieves that Congress will have
to take some concrete action
first before the Commerce De-
partment can approve export
licenses that would permit
Russia to buy subsidized wheat
as a friendly" country does.
Such congressional action
could take various forms. A
Joint resolution could be
passed, or more simply, the
Agriculture Committees could
issue some statement giving
their approval to any sales.
Because sale or subsidized
wheat to the Communist world
has important political impli-
cations, the administration is
proceeding slowly.
The State Department yes
terday said that 1t preferred to
wait until a concrete offer had
been made before making any
policy decision.
Most likely no firm action
will be taken until President
Kennedy returns TO his desk
next week after his Western
conservation tour.

may object TO providing Russis

which ultimately were accom-
panied by such strife that the
National Guard occupied the

The fate Of the amendment
probably will depend upon
whether the rights group still
commands the allegiance OF
the majority Of the Negro
community.
For even the most optimistic
proponents Of the anti-discrim-
ination law doubt that it can
be enacted without substantial
assistance from Negro voters.
Two NAACP representatives
repeatedly were en- route here
to join some local Negro min
listers in trying to persuade the
Negro residents to disregard
the boycott.
Mrs. Richardson in recent
weeks has been in open con-
flict with the NAACP and
clergy regarding the proper at
titude toward the referendum.
Her position has been that
Negroes should not be sub
jected to the humiliation of
having their rights submitted
to an election.
However, until last night,
neither she nor the committee
attempted to disSuade their
followers from voting in the
referendum.

The clash doubtless was a
factor which motivated Mrs.
Richardson early yesterday to
announce that she was quitting
the civil rights movement.
She withdrew her statement
Of resignation just as it was
being handed to reporters. But
the threat that she might quit
doublessly influenced the COM
mittee to adopt the more mil
liant stance she preferred.

are our constitutional rights
that we are asking you not to

ment said.

Stimulation of the economy

House passage yesterday was
on a roll call vote. Voting for
the bill were 223 Democrats
and 48 Republicans; 1875 Re-
publicans and 20 Democrats
voted against passage.
On final passage, Republican
Representatives Broyhill of
Virginia and Matthias of Mary

the bill.

tives, Democrats Landlord end
Sickles of Maryland, voted for

But the key vote was the
226-199 roll call on which the
House rejected a Republican
recommittal motion embody-
ing an anti-spending amend
ment.
Persuasion by Mills
Representative OKonski of
Wisconsin was the only Re-
publican voting with the 225
Democrats who opposed the
amendment. Voting for the
amendment were 173 Republi-
cans and rs Democrats. Almost
all the Democrats sup
porting the amendment were
Southerners.
The amendment was defeated
mainly because Chairman Mills
of the House Ways and Means
Committee persuaded most of
the Southerners that the
G. o. P. formula would be in
effective as a curb on Federal
spending.
The amendment would have
cancelled the rate cuts If Presi-
dent Kennedy had estimated
Federal spending above $97
billion for fiscal 1854 or above
500 billion for fiscal 1865.
Mr.. Mills, an Arkansas DEM
ocrat, moved to clinch his vic
tory in the final moments Of
debate with a charge that a
technical flaw in the Repub-
lican amendment could lead to
tax increases.
He noted that the amend
ment would cancel the rate re-
auctions If spending estimates
exceeded the specified ceilings,
but would let the structural re-
forms take effect.
Some Of these reforms would
raise revenue and some would
reduce revenue. The Treasury
estimates the reforms would
raise about $50 million, net
