Sees Communist
Gains Thwurted
By U. S. Stand

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 81
(AP).-President Kennedy has
taken sharp issue with some
of the foreign policy ideas ad-
vanced by Senator Barry Gold
water. Mr.. Kennedy said these
and other proposals backed by
some conservatives would lead
the Nation into a dangerous
world of retreat-not of
strength"
Mr.. Kennedy did not mem
ton by name the Arizona Re-
publican who may be his
G. o. P. opponent in the 1864
presidential campaign. But he
included some Goldwater poll
cies in a catalogue of what ne
termed unacceptable proposals
advanced by ultraconservatives
In a major address last night
before a full house of 5000 at
the historic Mormon Taber-
nacle, Mr.. Kennedy argued that
these policies would be fatal
to our national security" and
Invite a Communist expan-
Sion."
GOldwater Attack Denied
Without question, Mr.. Ken
nedy in this speech went fur
ther than ever before toward
challenging Senator Goldwater
And he took issue with the
whole political force often
labeled "the radical right"
The White House insisted Mr.
Kennedy was not attacking
Senator Goldwater, but, rather
making a positive statement on
the problems the administra-
tion faces in forging foreign
policy in a complex world.
Some Kennedy associates
were willing to concede, how
ever, that the address could
be interpreted in a different
light.
The President contended
that, under the policies of his
administration, "the Commu-
mist offensive has been
thwarted and turned back in
recent months"
He insisted the gains could
be lost by a return to conserv-
atiye attitudes which he lik-
ened to those of the Mckinley
era.
Policy Stand Criticized
In particular the President
criticized proposals to break off
diplomatic relations with all
states whose principles we dis
like" to withhold aid from
countries whose governments
are run differently from our
own" and to resume atmos-
pheric nuclear testing.
Senator Goldwater was one
of the strongest opponents of
the recently ratified limited
nuclear test-ban treaty. In a
speech arguing against the
pact, he advocated breaking
relations with the Soviet Union.
He insists, at every opportuni-
ty. that foreign aid be limited
to friendly nations.
In a one-sentence distilla-
ton of his views in those areas,

replied
Names GenOveSe as Boss
Valachi made it clear the
crime family" boss was Vito
Genovese, whom he says he
served especially faithfully for
more than 80 years but who
ultimately ordered his death.
Genovese is presently serving
a prison sentence at Atlanta
Penitentiary.
Murders - threatened and
performed-permeated the first
installment of Valachi's ex-
pected five days of public testi-
mony. During the morning
! session, however, Valachi did
not elaborate on the murders
he said he carried out under
orders.
The hearing room was packed
as Valachi made his long
awaited appearance. Some 800
people, including police Off
cials, crowded into the Caucus
Room of the Old Senate office
Building, but an equally large
number had to be turned
away.
Marshals Stand Guard
Standing with arms folded
at stragetic spots in the big
room were deputy msrshals
keeping an eye on the crowd.
Immediately behind Valachi,
shielding him from the audi
ence, were marshals and deputy
; marshals who are responsible
for keeping the witness alive.
Valachi says the underworld
has put 100000 price on his
head as an informer.
Within minutes after the
mobster took the witness stand
he was talking about the dis
appearance of the lieutenant
in charge of his regina" or
group within the Genovese

Missing Man Slain, He Says
He said Anthony Strollo, alias
Tony Bender, who dropped
from sight in 1860. was
murdered on orders from
Genovese.
Carefully, and with attention
to prison detail, Valachi told
how Genovese ordered that he,
too, be killed because he sus-
pected him of being an in
former.
Valachi maintained Genovese
was wrong. The two shared the
same cell in Atlanta at the
time.

Rate Increase
On Telephones
Asked in D. T..
Monthly Bills

$1.25 q Month
By DAN GOTTLIEB
Star Staff Writer

The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. today asked for
higher telephone rates for Dis
trict customers. But suburban
Maryland and Virginia rates
would not be changed.
The increases requested
would raise the basic monthly
charges for business and resi-
Dental telephones in Washing
tor by some IA to 81 per cent.
The average home phone
customer would pay about SIPS
more per month for his tele-
phone.
The company contends that
higher operating costs and in
creased investment in plant
and equipment make the in
creases necessary.
The company's request was
made this afternoon to the
District Public Utilities Com
mission. The request comes
less than six months after the
PUG. disclosed that it was
discussing with the company
whether its profits were ex-
ceeding previously authorized
levels and whether rate reduc-
tionS would be warranted.
Profit Drop Noted
Chairman James A. Washing
ton, jr.. of PUG, explained
in discussing the poSsibil-
ity of rate reductions with the
company that the most recent
figures submitted by the COM
pany now show a decline in its
profit rate. These figures are
being studied, he said, by the
PUG. staff.
Mr.. Washington said today
that any increases would not
be allowed to go into effect
without a public hearing. The
PUG. probably will not act on
the company's proposal until
after the first of the year, Mr..
Washington said, because of
the press of other business be-
fore the commission.
