Two companies that run

The complaints were filed by

WMATC officials said they also

President Kennedy's brother,
Robert, the Attorney General,
who still seems crumpled in his
grief, sat with the cabinet on
the right of the fireplace. The
Supreme Court was gathered
on the other side.
Mrs. johnson, wearing black,

men.
Two of Mr.. Kennedy's most
devoted and afflicted aides,

keeping watch over the family
of the slain President.
Today the Kennedy children
and a little cousin, 7-year old
Sydney Lawford, went to play
in MontroSe Park near their
home. The Lawford child,
daughter of the actor and Mrs.
Peter Lawford, came to visit
them in their new home shortly
after they moved in yesterday.
The family brought with
them from the White House
familiar and personal items
such as Caroline's two-wheeled
bicycle and a big box marked
John Jr. Toys"
Neighbors watching in the
street got a look at Mrs. Ken
nedy's fur coats and the pink
covered cages of the Kennedy
children'S pet parakeetS.
There was a sad reminder-a
bullying briefcase with the ini-
tials "JFK."
AS they settled into the IL
room, 5-bath residence, Mrs.
Kennedy sent word through
her press secretary that she
was very grateful to the Harri-
mans for loan of their house,
filled with art treasures.
She was happy she could
bring her children to such a
home, Mrs. Kennedy said.
Looks Forward to Quiet
The former First Lady nov
looks forward to many quiet
days there" the secretary, Miss
Pamela Turnure, added.
The Kennedys had lived in a
narrow red brick home at 1907
N street before they moved
into the White House.
Nearby are the shops of Wis
conSin avenue, where Mrs
Kennedy often went to browse
even occasionally after she
became First Lady.
Two blocks away is the spa
cious yellow brick home of Mrs
Kennedy's mother, Mrs. Hugh
ID. Auchincloss.
Caroline will be off for the
week end and then go back to
| first grade classes at the school,
in the White House. She'll be
the only member of the family
making daily return visits to
the White House.

Cowan, head of the team, says
his data forces us to the con-
cluSion that it's a neutrino."
The neutrino is about as
close to nothing as it is posi-
BILE to get. 1t has no mass when
not in motion, no electric
charge, and an intermediate
momentum property called az
SPIN" 1t has never been OBJ
served directly, and probably
never will be.
Professor Cowan is one of
the co-diScoverers of the neu-
trino.
Identified In 1856
He and another physicist,
Frederick ReineS, identified it
in 1856 through its interactionS
with other particles produced
in an atomic reactor at the
Savannah River plant in South
Carolina.
The neutrino's existence had
been predicted a quarter CEN
fury earlier by Wolfgang PAUL.
and Enrico Fermi as an expla-
nation for certain anomalies OF
subatomic physics.
The Catholic University ex-
periments which produced the
new neutrino began about
three years ago under grants
from the Atomic Energy CON-
mission and the Office of Naval
Research. Actual observations
have been going on for about
a year.

Cowan characterized as the site
of 1.-The most violent process
known to man."
The neutrino detector used
in the experiment is located in
a cave in the Blue Ridge Noun
tainS mot far" from here. DR..
Cowan said the location is Sc
cret by order Of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission.
He said he is forbidden to
tell how deep it is beyond stat
ing that the rock above the
cave is the equivalent of 200
meters of water. Assuming that
the rock is at normal density
the cave is probably about $50
feet deep.
This depth is sufficient to
screen out most cosmic rays
without stopping the type of
neutrino the team was looking
for, DR.. Cowan explained.
Penetration Capabilities
Ordinary neutrinos are vir-
tually unaffected by even the
densest material. Some scien-
lists have said that a typical
neutrino could pass through
10 billion earths without being
stopped by an atomic nucleus
on the way. Another way of
putting this is that only one
neutrino in 10 billion would be
unable to penetrate the 5000
mile diameter of our planet.
Professor Cowan's forme +
partner, DR.. Reines. is working
in a 2-mile-deep mine shaft in
South Africa to trap neutrinos
with a detector bigger and
more sensitive than the one
used by the Catholic University
team. Yet DR.. Reines has said

Conferees Fail

Oppose Addition

By GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

Senate and House conferees
last night failed to agree on a
District budget for the current
year.
They walked out of a two
and-a-half hour conference in
disagreement over the number
of school teachers, counSelors,
social workers and welfare in
vestigators the city needs. An
other session is scheduled for
10 am. Tuesday.
Last nights discussion Of dis
puted items was prolonged by
an argument over Federal aid
for families Of unemployed
parents-a controversial issue
which was not officially before
the conferees.
More Teachers Opposed
House members objected to
A grade school teachers and
IS teachers for mentally re-
tarded added to the money bill
by the Senate. Senate Chair
man Robert c. Byrd, Democrat
of West Virginia, also was I'M
able to clear with his House
counterpart, Repre- S entative
hatcher, Democrat of Ken
lucky, the 80 new workers rec
commended in the Child We'll
fare Division and the AZ in
veStigators the Senate wants to
review all new welfare cases in
the next six months.
Senator Byrd insisted on the
school and welfare positions. If
he could save them, he told
House conferees, they could
write their own ticket" on the
Health Department.
At issue there Is a major
reorganization Of the depart
ment and a birth control pro-
gram in the Senate but not in
the House bill.
At this point, Representative
hatcher injected the question OF
relief for jobless parents. He
said some Of the House COM
mittee members wanted the
program. 1t should be discussed
Tuesday, he suggested.
Voted Down by Senate
Senator Byrd, a determined
foe of the new welfare program
maintained that jobless relief
was beyond the bounds of the
conference. It was not pre-
Sented to Congress until after
the House had adopted a
budget. The Senate voted down
the program. The Senate APP
preparations Committee voted
against it, too, despite a BIZ
partisan effort of Senate liber-
ais to start such relief pay
ments here.
But Senator Byrd explained
his position to House members
and repeatedly did not raise q
point Of order that discussion
Of the item was improper since
it was missing from both
budgets.
1t was not clear whether
House members were deter
mined to try to insert the re-
lief figure in the conference
report or whether they simply
wanted to use it as a negoti-
ating tool.

gested that he would resign

Before leaving his home in
Northwest Washington to go to

circled through that a little

Mr.. Raley told the Leglsla-
