BIRMINGHAM, Sept. Is
(APls--"It was lust a matter
Of when," said the Rev. John
H. Cross. We've been ex-
pecting this all along, watt

The four Negro girls had
been dead 10 hours and the
heart of Mr.. Cross, pastor of
the e-shattered
SiXtee h Street Baptist
Church, was heavy with
grief as the humid night air
was heavy with tension.

bonn b threats since last
April" he said. We've
searched the church several
times. We've called off night
time meetings because we
felt it would be Just too
dangerous to gather, even If
only to pray"
Fear Of Extremists
I'VE haven't underesti-
mated the extremists" he
said. We've known right
along there were people in
this town capable of any
thing. Even this"
In parts of the city, as Mr..
Cross spoke, there was the
periodic echo Of a siren. the
occasional crack Of a gun,
the ugly shout Of a curse.
BY contrast, the home Of
the distraught pastor, near
the church, was still. His
voice was soft and dulled by
exhaustion as he reflected
last night on the tragedy and
its victims.

Treaty Passes
First Hurdle
Changes Barred
In Pact Itself
By ]. A. OLEARY
Oy o. hs " AGhAs 4
Star staff Writer

The Senate took the first step
toward approval of the nuclear
test ban treaty today by calling
up the resolution of ratification.
This closed the door to any
possible change in the text of
the treaty itself but leaves open
the offering of reservations or
understandings to be added to
the resolution of approval.
Senator Thurmond, Demo-
crat Of South Carolina, blocked
the first step last week but was
not in the chamber today when
the presiding officer, Senator
Carlson, Republican Of Kansas,
announced that, in the absence
of objections, the treaty would
be considered as having passed
through its elementary stage.
The final vote on ratification
may not come until late this
week or early next week.
Robertson Critical
A little earlier, Senator Rob-
ertson, Democrat of Virginia,
had predicted the United
States will lose its ability
to defend the free world
from Russians aggression If it
ratifies the nuclear test ban
treaty.
At the same time, two other
Democrats, Senators Sparkman
of Alabama and McGovern Of
South Dakota, defended the
treaty as the Senate began a
second week of debate.
Democratic Leader Mansfield
plans to convene the Senate at
10 am. daily in the hope of
finishing the treaty this week.
But he said he is not trying to
time the vote to precede Pres
ident Kennedy's speech before
the U. N. Friday. Some oppo-
nents have expressed doubt the
debate will end this week.
Paradox Seen
Senator Robertson said the
Senate faces an anamolous
situation in being asked to
ratify the treaty on the as
sumption that Soviet leaders
have had a Echange OF heart
and. at the same time, awaiting
the largest peace-time defense
appropriation bill biased on the
assumption there has been no
change" in the Communist OBJ
jective of world domination.

The United States Board of
Parole, which controls the free
dom of more than 5000 paroled
convicts, meets tomorrow to
consider how to put into ef-
feet a recent court decision
which ordered sweeping changes
in the Nationwide Federal sys-
tenn used for parole revocation.
The decision, handed down
by the United States Court of
Appeals, directed the Parole
Board to arm the convict with
considerably more rights than
he now has to protect himself
against parole revocation.
Members of the Parole Board
said that the court decision, If
followed, would be the most
substantial administrative mod
ification of parole procedure
in recent years and would be
quite difficult to carry out.
Judge Warren E. Burger, who
wrote the 39-page majority
opinion, stressed that parole
revocation is still an admins
trative, not a judicial, proce-
dure.
Decision Cited
However, Judge Burger said,
the Parole Boards present sys-
tenn does not fully observe
basic concepts of fairness" i'm
herent in the congressionally
established scheme Of parole.
In addition, Judge Burger
pointed out: THE parolee at
liberty on conditional release
is obviously not in the same
posture as an ordinary citizen
but it does not follow that
the parolee is without any
rights, for Congress has given
him certain projections"
The eight-man Board of Pa
role has been studying the de-
cision since 1t same down last
April II and has scheduled a
session tomorrow to act on the
opinion.
The court decision will have
a Nationwide impact on all
Federal convicts. The board,
with its main offices here. has
jurisdiction over more than
$4,000 persons consigned to
Federal prisons. About 5000

Washington, Walter M. Bastian
and John A. Danaher. Con-
curing in part and dissenting
in part were Chief Judge David
L. Bazelon and Circuit Judges
j, Skelly Wright, Charles Fahy
and Henry w. Edgerton.
Some of the dissenting opin-
ions wanted the revocation
procedure to be almost exactly
like a criminal trial.

U.S.. Parole Board Seeks to Implement
Changes in System Ordered by Court

, are now out on parole, either
under the mandatory good
time provisions or under good
behavior. The board held some
700 revocation hearings last
year. of which 1900 resulted in
revocation.
The greatest change in the
present procedure was the
courts order that a re-aTrested
convict receive his preliminary
interview at a place near where
the alleged parole violation
took place.
Under the present procedure,
the convict receives this inter-
view at a Federal prison which
many times is hundreds of
miles away from the site Of
the violation.
The court imposed this re-
quirement because it said that
the parolee often had little OPP
portunity to obtain witnesses in
his defense.
Formal Hearing
Another major change In the
preliminary interview was the
courts requirement that a
complete record be kept of the
interview in such a way as to
justify the revocation on the
face Of the record. The opinion
turned the interview into a
more formal hearing with VOL
untary witnesses, opposing
counsel and a record.
The board now holds rather
informal preliminary hearings
with a sparse transcript.
The other major changes
were court orders that the ar
rest warrant for the convict
contain full descriptions of the
alleged parole violation, and a
directive that a board member
interview persons who have
knowledge Of the violation and
Evening star., 1963-05-05

keep a digest Of their state
ments.
At present, the board does
many Of these things, but is
under no compulsion to do so
In addition, the court said
that the arrest warrant should
show probable cause" for ar
rest. Now, the warrant is issued
If the board thinks there may
be reason to believe a violation
has taken place.

PEPCO Is Asked
To Submit Plan
For Cut in Rates

The Potomac Electric Power
Co. has been asked to submit
a plan to reduce rates starting
July l, Chairman James A.
Washington, jr., Of the District
Public Utilities Commission
disclosed yesterday after a
meeting with company officials.
The company had been
asked to have the rate reduc-
ton plan ready yesterday or
to be prepared to justify its
present rates.
The P. U. C. began informal
discussions with the company
last month after it found that
PEPCO's earnings were exceed
ing levels authorized in the
last rate case. Mr.. Washington
emphasized that there are new,
increaSed-cost factors which
might justify higher earnings
levels than previously set by
the regulatory commission.
PEPCO's president. Raymond
Dunn, said the company would
work up plan to offer pro
motional rates to benefit its
customers. He explained that
these would give the customer
an incentive TO use more elec-
tricity by lowering the per
kilowatt hour charge for in
creased use.
Mr.. Dunn said he did not
know whether the plan would
save on the electricity bill for
the homeowner who does not
increase kilowatt consumption.
