explaining that the GAO last
August tentatively approved
the arrangement because Of
USIA representations that it
would be "of primary impor-
lance to USIA in its overseas
information program"
Mr.. Campbell stated that sub
sequent study and discussions
indicated that any benefit to
the USIA foreign information
programs seemed remote and
conjectural." He said this did
not support the earlier view
that the primary purpose of
the contract was to help the
foreign information program.
Future Policy
Accordingly we have advised
the director Of the USIA that
the contract with United Artists
is outside Of the statutory au-
thority Of the agency" Mr..
Campbell stated.
However, we have also ad-
vised the director that, while
in this particular case it does
not appear to be in the Gov
ernment's interest to question
further the United Artists con-
tract (no appropriated funds
being involved, any further
contracts exclusively or pri-
marily for domestic distribution
of information will not be re-
garded as valid by the General
Accounting Office unless there
has been obtained express
statutory authority for entering
into such contracts"

BroyhiII Is Recovering

Representative Broyhill, Re-

recovering from an operation
for a collapsed lung.
His right lung collapsed yes
terday while he was at his
Arlington home. Hours later,
the Virginian was offered the
job of ranking Republican on
the House District Committee.
This position would almost
assure Mr.. Broyhill's control
over his party's position in the
House on District affairs
through this session of Con-
gress.
The Congressman underwent
surgery last night at Arlington
Hospital.
Doctors said he was in good
condition and predicted a full
recovery. He should be home
in a week and hopes to be back
at work on Capitol Hill within
a month, a spokesman for the
Congressman said.
Rest probably would have re-
stored the lung. But Mr.. Broy-
hill agreed to surgery recon-
mended by his doctor because
Of three other lung collapses
since 1856.
The offer Of the senior mi
nority chair on the District
Committee came from Repre-
sentative Auchincloss, Repub-
lican Of New Jersey, now the
ranking Republican. The pos
sibility Of Mr.. Auchincloss'
stepping aside for the Virginian

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 15.-The

its fight for more liquor IL
censes despite Senator Gilbert
Guides opposition to relaxing
county liquor laws this year.
william J. Brannan, jr., law
partner Of Montgomery States
Attorney Leonard T. Hardy,
registered yesterday as a lob
byist at the General Assembly
for the restaurant association.
Mr.. Brannan was listed as
representative of the associa-
ton on legislation relating to
the (restaurant) industry, par
ticularly alcoholic beverage
laws as they affect Montgom-
cry County"
Legislation Drafted
1t was reported that Mr..
Brannan has drafted legisla-
ton which he will present soon
to county lawmakers, to allow
more liquor-by-the-d drink Ii
censes.
Republican Senator GUIDE in
troduced a resolution last
night calling for a study OF
the county liquor laws before
making any major revisions.
His position would bar passage
Of legislation to relax the laws
at this session, since legislation
could not get through the
Senate without his support.
Nevertheless, some county
members Of the House of Dele
gates said they will consider
legislation which is expected to
be presented by the restau-
rant association.
Guide Criticized
Senator Guide was sharply
criticized last night by some Of
the county members of the
House. They said he did not
discuss his resolution with
them before he introduced it.
THE Senator should give us
the courtesy to let us know" /"
Democratic Delegate John p.
Moore said during a meeting Of
the 10 House members from
Montgomery.
Since 1t affects Montgomery,
we ought to know ahead of time
when he is going to do some
thing like this if we are going
to work as a unit" Democrat
Leonard S. Blondes said.
There was criticism of the
Senator also because he has
not been attending meetings of
the delegation. The 10 Dele
gates meet every Monday night.
Senator Guide said he does
not feel he should attend every
meeting because it might put
him in the position of trying to
influence actions of the House
members.
This is a bicameral legisla-
tupe," he said. II don't think

Urges Congress
To Ease Woes
Facing District
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy has asked
Congress to treat three domes-
tic ills which are special sore
points in the Nations Capital
I-jobless youth. voting bars
and congested traffic.
The President, in his state
of-the- Union address, recon-
mended possible and impera-
tive" legislative cures for each
Of the problems.
He did not single out the
District. But he indicated re-
forms we're needed in metropoh-
tan centers throughout the
Nation.
Jobless teen-agers who drop
out of school should be trained
to work with the illiterate, the
handicapped. the delinquent,
the weak and the unhealthy,
the President suggested. His
idea for a kind of peace corps
to serve the needy at home has
been incorporated in legislation
already proposed by Senator
Humphrey. Democrat of Min
nesota, and 81 other Senators.
Matching Grants
The legislation calls for Fed
eral grants to match local con-
tributlons for on-the-j job train
ing of young men and women
from l6 to 81. They would live
and eat at home. But they
would be paid about $40 a week
for taking such jobs as lab
technicians, nursing assistants,
recreational aides and skilled
and unskilled laborers at public
centers which are understaffed.
Some $500 teen-agers left
school last year in Washington
At least one-thrid of them are
unemployed. This pool of poten-
tial idlers amounts to about 40
per cent of pupils who enroll
in junior and senior high
schools here.
The youth problem of this
city, as well as voting rights
and transit needs, are expected
to be defined in the Presidents
special message to Congress on
the District, now scheduled for
delivery Friday. Locally, he ia
vors an elected city govern
ment and Federal aid for a
metropolitan transit system
balancing rapid rail and high
way arteries.
Discusses Transit
Bound to receive frequent
reference in the local transit
controversy were these remarks
of the President:
Local mass transit, faring
even worse (than national
transportation service), is as
essential a community service
as hospitals and highways.
Nearly three-quarters of our
citizens live in urban areas.
which occupy only 2 per cent
of our land, and if local
transit is to survive and re-
lieve the congestion of the
cities. it needs Federal stimu.
lation and assistance"
The National Capitol Trans
portation Agency has rec
commended an $500 million
transit system. Nearly 80 per
cent of construction capital
would come from private loans
backed by a Federal guarantee.
Federal and local grants would
make up the remainder.
The Presidents program
would be translated into spe-
cities for areas other than
Washington in legislation intro
duced yesterday by Senator
Williams. Democrat of New
Jersey. and 81 other sponsors
from both parties. This bill
would give State and local gov.
ernments $500 million over
three years to plan and build
mass transit systems.

IN THE OLD DAYS be-
tween the wars, all the Gov
ernment departments and
agencies would try to get a
paragraph about hoped for
expansion into the Presi-
dents message.
The report on "the state of
the Union" required by the
Constitution became a blue
print for the planned growth
of the Government services.
Now it's a report on the
state of the world.
The corps of foreign cor
respondents has become
larger than the diplomatic
corps. The office of Pierre
s alinger, the Presidents
press secretary, estimates
that there are 1900 corres-
pondents accredited to the
White House and of these
about 300 are from foreign
countries.
Then as now, everyone in
Washington who pretendS to
be anyone talks about the
Message on the day of its de-
livery and the day after.
The thing to do is to beat
them to the draw-the ques-
ton, that is.
Before you even say Hello
ask them:
what did you think OF the
Messenger"
If they've heard it on TV
or read it they will be glad to
give you their ideas about it.
If they haven't they'll stink
away.
In any event they won't
ask you about it.
If you should want to talk
about the Message, give it up.
Forget about 1t.
Actually being there no
longer enables one to domi-
nate the conversation. And
that's probably a good thing.

Perhaps TV has robbed
newspaper work of much of
its thrill-the thrill OF know
ing 1t first, seeing it first and
reporting it.
But not for the Rambler.
He could have read an ad-
vance copy of the Message in
the city room and then
watched its delivery on the
editors TV set.
But that wouldn't satisfy
him.
He had to go up on the
Hill, show his credentials and
crowd his way into the House
Press Gallery, where you
don't see the President in ac-
tion because he is right un-
der you.
Still there is something
about actually being there
that Tv can never quite
equal.
AS he waited, 1t occurred to
him that he had read a
good many messages in ad-
vance - been around quite
some time.
Borah, the lion Of Idaho
was still in the Senate when
the Rambler first visited the
gallery.
He remembers the Great
Debate as war approached.
1t was over the repeal of the
Neutrality bill.
But when he sees Jere-
