The u. S. Senate is considering
a rules change to permit former
Presidents to address that august
body whenever they SO desire. And
it has been suggested that the
House of Representatives should
do likewise.
Of the three former Presidents
still living, Harry Truman has IN
dorsed the idea but Herbert Hoov-
er and Dwight Eisenhower haven't
made their views known, at least
for publication.

Floor Privileges

Although members of both
houses of Congress r jealous of
speaking privileges - often not
having enough time to 60 around
for themselves - extending it to
ex-Presidents isn't likely to cramp
their style.
Ex-Presidents emphasize that
they are statesmen, usually elder
ly statesmen. Therefore, on becom-
ing statesmen they bind them
selves not to be long-winded.

Allen7Scott Report
New Wire Tapping Probe

Washington, November rs: Strong
pressure is building up in the Senate
for the first full-scale investigation since
the 1905 of the governments covert
use of overlapping.
Already, a Senate Commerce 1nves-
tigating Subcommittee has quietly
launched a private review of complaints
by senators that their phones and others
NAV be illegally tapped by government
investigators.
These unpublished complaints involve
the monitoring of private and official
phones in Washington and other cities,
including hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada,
by Justice and State Department agents.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations
use Of overlapping in national security
cases is not being investigated by the
subcommittee.
Headed by Senators Strom Thurmond,
DIS. c., and Howard Cannon, D-Nev.,
the probers plan to raise this explosive
issue on the Senate floor, seeking funds
for a full-scale inquiry if their findings
continue to bear out the complaints.
In gathering their evidence, the two
Senators are pressing the State and JUS
tice Departments to spell out their
policies on the use of overlapping in the
light of a flood of conflicting state
ments from officials Of both departments.
They wrote Deputy Attorney General
Nicholas deb. Katzenbach demanding a
written statement of policy after officials
both departments admitted the use OF
overlapping after first denying the
practice to Senate committees.
THE NEVADA STORY Senator
Cannon also has demanded from Katzen-
bach a full explanation of the Justice
Departments wholesale tapping Of phone
in hotels in Las Vegas.
In reports to the Senator, hotel
detectives have told of instances where
federal agents we're discovered tap
ping entire s~witehboards.
Senator Cannon raised the matter OF
these bizarre overlapping incidents with
Katzenbach, saying:
''There presently Is . lawsuit on file
In Las Vegas and another one being
contemplated involving several of the
hotels in that city where wiretaps were
found and it is alleged that the build
ing where the wiretaps led to is n
that is leased and paid for by the JUS
tice Department. This raises my con-
Germ because it is my understanding
that there is no such legal authority at
the present time"
Earlier, when the senator's confronted
John Reilly, the Justice Departments
administrative officer In charge of all
u. S. attorneys, with the Nevada wire
tapping question, he claimed no know
ledge of this department activity.

WASHINGTON - The Union
of the American Federation OF
Labor and the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations was sup
posed to create a powerful friend
for the working man and to
help build the system of free
enterprise as a means OF Great
ing jobs and maintaining en-
ployment. But a recommends
ton just adopted by the ALL
CIO at its convention in New
York City casts doubt on wheth-
er such an objective would be
furthered if the principle en-
dorsed by the top labor lead
ers and delegates were enact
ed into law. For it would tend
to impede the operation and
expansion of various businesses.
The resolution adopted at the
convention referred only to sales
or mergers Of newspapers, but,
if the federal statute proposed
were passed, the formula could
be applied to any business
which was in financial trouble
and wanted to conserve its as
sets by a sale or merger.
An Associated Press dispatch
on Wednesday read in part as
follows:
"The resolution would require
publishers to give advance no
tice to all labor organizations in
volved in a proposed merger,
suspension or sale or a news
paper.
"The resolution said T. a t,
when there are claims that a
newspaper is being disposed Of
because it is losing money, the
Justice Department should be
authorized to ask for a court
appointed appraiser to deter
mine its fair market value.
"Then, under the resolution,
the newspaper would be thrown
open for bids from prospective
purchasers willing to pledge
continued publication. The pub
Usher would be required to
accept a bid equal to the value
set by the court-appointed ap-
p~raiser."
This is an astonishing propos-
al, for it would set aside the
right of the seller to do bust
ness with whomever he pleases
"a broad consequence perhaps
of the assumption in the "civil
rights" debate that congress
can dictate to whom sales in the
business market should be
made. Many times a would-be
buyer offers cash and promis-
sorry notes, but the seller has
to make up his own mind
whether the bidder is likely to
have enough success in the BUSH
ness to pay off such ote $.
Often a sale Of property goes
to a bidder who doesn't make
the highest financial offer but
who seems to the seller to be
most capable of paying the
amount due in the years ahead.
Yet, in the AFL-CIO resolution,
no such discretion would be al
lowed to the seller, who would
be compelled by court order to
accept the bid selected on the
basis Of only one factor - the
number Of dollars in the price
offered. If, however, a COM
petitor whose property would
be strengthened by a merger
were to make a good offer
even if it were the highest
the theory of the AFLrCIO reso-
luton Is that the Justice Depart
ment would promptly call this

Heart Association
Moves to Reduce
Cigarette Use

NEW YORK, June 8 (AP).-
The American Heart Associa-
ton went on record today for
the first time in favor Of active
steps to discourage cigarette
smoking on the, ground it is
harmful to health.
The action by the board of
directors opens the way for the
association to work with other
groups in campaigns against
smoking.
The association said q 1860
report by q special committee
Of physicians and scientists
showed that death rates in
middle-aged men from heart
attacks we're so to $50 per cent
higher among heavy cigarette
smokers than among non
smokers.
This statistical association
does not prove that heavy Gig
arctic smoking causes coronsry
heart disease" 1t said, but the
data strongly suggests that
heavy cigarette smoking may
contribute to or accelerate the
development Of coronary heart
disease or its complications"
1t said additional evidence
since 1860 confirms and sup
plementS the earlier findings.

perts. A recent report Of the
House Banking and Currency
Committee criticized the heavy
reliance on lie detector tests In
the Treasury Departments in
vestigation of the disappearance
of SIS million from the San
Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank.
II have heard reports Of some
Federal agencies requiring all
job applicants to undergo poly
graph tests. Although this
practice is justified on security
grounds, I think we should find
out if it is actually necessary"
The QUESTIONABLE seeks to
determine in detail how many
such devices were used and by
what Government agencies, how
many tests were made last year
and how much they cost.

Timid members of Congress
who are afraid Of raising their
own salaries might be inter-
ested In the report that Tommy
Vaughn. president of the Ma
tional League Of Postmasters,
has brought back from his
travels around the country.
Mr.. Vaughn, postmaster Of
Paris, Tenn, and an astute po-
itical observer, recently made
an extended visit to the West
ern and Midwestern States in
connection with his duties as
the leagues president.
In an attempt to gauge pub
lie sentiment regarding pay
raises for members Of Congress
and cabinet officers and
agency heads, Mr.. Vaughn
spoke with representative citi-
zens in each community he
visited-bankers, doctors. law
yers, farmers, union men, mer-
chants and housewives.
81 didn't try to slant my
questions, nor did I try to in
fluence In any way the answers
they gave" Mr.. Vaughn said.
Il merely asked them If they
felt q raise in the pay of men,
bers Of Congress and the top
officers Of the Government
would be justified"
Mr.. Vaughn continued, THE
overwhelming number Of people
favored such raises. Hardly
anyone said they opposed such
o raise. The general feeling was
that this country needed the
best possible people In the Con-
eress and in Government and
that higher pay would be a
good way to assure this"
OF course, Mr.. Vaughn has
more than a passing interest in
all this. II Congress raises its
own pay and that Of top Gov
eminent officials, then It's
considered certain to approve
President Kennedy's proposal
for additional pay raise adjust
Tnents for Federal classified
and postal employees. Otherwise,
the prospects for Federal and
postal pay raises will be dim
However, knowing that he
cannot be considered exactly
en- unbiased observer, Mr..
Vaughn said he was especially
careful In his discussion with
people to avoid any suggestion
OF trying 10 influence their
answers in favor Of pay raises.
eI'm satisfied that their pro
pay raise views represent the
feelings OF most American
communities" Mr.. Vaughn
said.
Meanwhile. Senator Lausche,

$455 million authorization is
unnecessary and wasteful on
top of the $3.50 million provided
last year to start the program.
They complain also that the
program has been poorly
handled and that some highly
questionable projects have been
approved.
Representative Taft, Repub-
lican Of Ohio, planned to ask
the House this week to approve
a civil rights amendment which
the Banking Committee de-
feated, 14-l0. Noting that al
most rs per cent Of the ARA's
industrial and commercial de-
velopment loan money has
gone into financing of hotel
and motel construction, he
urged that the bill require that
loans for such accommodations
be made without racial or re-
ligious discrimination.
The agency issued such an
Observation-Disclosures regulation
last December. Mr.. Taft said
this applied to housing and
establishments such as nursing
homes but not to transient or
hotel facilities intended for oc-
cupancy for periods Of less
than 80 days.
Such an amendment might
intensity opposition by some
Southern Democrats.

near here that will pro-
vide hot and cold running
water for spawning
salmon.
This is the first dam de-
signed by the Bureau Of
Reclamation providing
such service. Mr.. Kennedy

Salmon like water of SIS
degrees Fahrenheit for
spawning. But water be-
hind the dam can vary
from 80 to 40 degrees from
the surface to the bottom.
So WhiSkeytown Dam,
near Redding, will have
built-in control gates at
two different levels. Most
of the year, the top outlet
will be used to preserve
colder water for use dur
ing the critical autumn
period.
Water from both outlets
can be mixed to provide
just the right temperature
