Latin Countries
On Dictatorship

Vice President Johnson said
today that dictatorial regimes
are incompatible with our
hemisphere"
Mr.. johnson told the council
Of the Organization of Ameri-
can States that "totalitarian-
isrns are unacceptable and in
tolerable in our midst" He did
not specify which regime he
was talking about. He spoke at
a special meeting observing
the second anniversary of the
Alliance for Progress program
for Latin America.
eff we are to keep our hemis-
phere moving forward, our first
and foremost task-together-
is to keep it free and in peace
he said. This we shall do"
The Vice President cautioned
the GAS representatives that
American resources committed
to the Alliance Of Progress are
not inexhaustible and will be
advanced only to those coun-
tries that make progress to-
ward social reform.

five additional pay-increase
categories for political jobs in
the executive branch, ranging
from $4,000 up.
Mr.. Stats said the admins
tration's tentative proposals
are to set the cabinet salary
figure at $40 900 and to set the
appointive job scale at a begin
ming figure Of about $27,500.
Drafting Congress Bill
The administrations pro-
posals for the political posts in
the executive branch tie in with
President Kennedy's recon-
mendations on classified and
postal employees salaries. I'm
der the administrations bill,
the top classified post would
carry an annual salary Of
SOS, 500.
Representative Udall said he
was drafting a bill to raise the
salaries Of the top executive
branch posts, members Of Con-
gress and Federal judges, He
said his proposed salary scales
would not be as high as those
recommended by the Randall
committee.
Today's agreement on speed
ing up the hearings means
that the committee probably
will finish them in three or
four weeks. It is likely that
the committee will take a vote
on legislation within two or
three weeks after finishing the
hearings.

came convinced that his for

him, has become an informer
for the Justice Department,

subcommittee.
Group Flown to Monmouth
Senator Mcclellan confirmed
reports that he was one of a
group flown to Fort. Monmouth
Sunday under extraordinary
precautions so elaborate the
Army closed the Monmouth
landing field to civilian traffic
for a period. The closing of
the field and its use by a then
unidentified plane led to re-
ports that Valachi was being
transferred to a new hiding
place.
1t was reported, meanwhile,
that plans are being worked
out to bring Valachi to Wash

of the hearing. Senator Nc
Clellan refused to discuss this
He said merely that he plans
to question Valachi in more
detail some time before the
hearings but that it would be
up to the Justice, Department
to determine where this would
take place.
Senator Mcclellan said he
talked with Valachi for more
than 2 hours, and added:
HE can become a most
valuable witness in our hear

leads in his testimony"

Senator Mcclellan declined
to give details. 1t was learned
from others, however, that he
regarded the meeting with
Valachi more in the nature
Of a preliminary session which
gave both him and the mobstel

presidential nomination.
Nothing has been settled yet
about the trip.
The talk has reached the
point, however, that the White
House was reported on reliable
authority today to have asked
the Interior Department several
weeks ago to outline a possible
journey. Some advance work
on a trip may be undertaken
shortly by a White House staff
member or two.
Georgia Date Cancelled
AS things stand now. the trip
may be undertaken in October
and might take Mr.. Kennedy
by plane, train and car from
Grand Coulee Dam in the
Northwest to Glen Canyon Dam
in Arizona. Ceremonies are on
tap at each place in October.
Mr.. Kennedy recently cam
celed an engagement to appear
on October Z in Atlanta at the
celebration Of the 18th ami
versary of Georgia Tech.
The White House gave a
rather vague explanation that
the Chief Executive might be
busy elsewhere at that time.
The Western trip, one adj
ministration Official said, would
be "oriented primarily to con-
servation." 1t might last four
or five days.
And while conservation might
get the obvious emphasis, Mr..
Kennedy still would be showing
up in an area where he would
hope to do better politically
next year than he did in 1860,
particularly since some South
ern Democrats are saying the
President might not fare so
well in their realm.

Mr.. Kennedy carried only Ne
vada and New Mexico in 1860.
He lost Arizona, California,
Colorado, Ida no, Montana,
Oregon, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming. ... -
Couldn't Visit All West
Apparently there is no
thought that Mr.. Kennedy
might be able to visit anywhere
near all of these Western
States this fall. Some of those
familiar with the preliminary
work, say he, at least. could be
expected to go to Washington,
Utah, Colorado and Arizona.
And while California has not
received serious consideration,
one administration authority
said that I'VE know people who
are pressing for the inclusion
of California and possibly it will
be worked in" ,..
A visit to the Columbia
River basin in Washington, if
1t comes off, probably would
be in connection with the 30th

night when a speaker where Mr..

Gated failed. Rescuers couldn't
relay any information to the

when a new speaker was low

Mr.. Bova at intervals and that
Mr.. Bova apparently had suf'
fered a hip injury. Later he
lost contact with Mr.. Bova and
thought that perhaps Mr.. Bova
went to sleep or tried to change

ated at Sheppton, about nine

differed last night from that

discovered the miners were still

Utilization Is Gone
The jubilation that had been
there Sunday night and early
yesterday morning was gone
and in its place was a grim de-
termination to get the men out
safely. Relatives and friends
continued their vigil.
Mr.. Fellin, trying to keep up
the morale of rescuerS and rel
atives, joked over the micro
phone. He told rescuers the
men had kept themselves alive
by drinking sulphurous water
from a stream running through
the mine.
Since I've been drinking that
stuff I have no more belly
aches" he quipped.
But then, in a more serious
vein, he said:
