Lobby Probe
Site Shifted
For Secrecy
~ ne Aasoeia dom Presa


The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee took elaborate pre-
cautions today to hide the
identity Of a witness as it re-
sumed its investigation into
efforts Of paid lobbyists for for
eign powers to influence United
States policy.
The committee had announced
its closed session would be held
in its hearing room at the
Capitol at 10 am.
Reporters observed that the
committee table had been sci
up. complete with pencils and
tablets. and glasses of water fol-
each Of the Senators. Two
policemen were on duty out
side the door, and reporters
were requested TO leave the
room.
But when the time for OPEN
ing the meeting had passed,
reporters we're told the hearing
had been moved to the COM
mittee offices.
By the time reporters got to
the meeting room. the hearing
was already under way, with
the doors locked.
Apparently it was all part of
a policy Of Senator Fulbright,
Democrat Of Arkansas, to avoid
any public testimony critical
of any lobbyist until it has
been fully weighed in executive
session.
A committee member who
left the hearing early told re-
porters privately the witness
was a sugar lobbyist registered
with the Department Of Justice
under the Foreign Agents Reg
istration Act. But he did not
name the witness.

every word he utters for public
print will be closely examined
by political opponents for
campaign ammunition, by for
eign diplomats for a hint of
what the administration is
really thinking, and by report
ers who consider him the most
valuable news source outside
the White House.
Hears Key Queries
This interview, held during
q ride from a hotel speaking
engagement to his Justice
Department office. was one Of a
recent series given by the At
torney General to the Associated
Press in an attempt to answer
these questions:
Is he being groomed to as
sumo the presidency when John
F. Kennedy leaves officer
How true are some Washing
ton rumors that. in preparation
for q run at the presidency, he
will be named Secretary OF
State, with Dean Rusk leaving
that post TO become Ambassa-
dor to the United Nations and
Adlai Stevenson being eased
out Of the administration
How does he define the un-
usual role he plays in Govern
ment affairs2
Absolutely No"
In. brief. these are Robert
Kennedy's answers:
/. The presidency - "Abso-
lutely no. / don't even think
about being President. I know
that may sound funny 10 some
people, but that's the truth"
2. Secretary OF State-"Com-
pletely ridiculous and untrue.
3. His role-"I try TO do the
best Job I can running the De-
partment Of Justice as Attorney
General. It's a very important
Job. Sure. the President gets
my advice on matters outside
the department. Just as he doet
from lots Of others. But he
weighs II. Just as he does the
advice OF the others, and ther
makes the decisions himself"
These are roughly the sams
answers he has given privately
many times 10 similar Questions
which have cropped up during
his first two years In office and
no doubt, will recur.

(AP).-The Kennedy political
family has made its first direct
attack on Senator Barry M.

The chore fell last night to
freshman Democratic Senator
Edward M. Kennedy, the Presi-

talk to an audience of TOO at
a $10-a-plate party fund

Beside hammering at SEN
ator Goldwater and praising
President Kennedy's domestic
and foreign policies, the new,
31-year-old Senator from Mas
sachusetts made a hit with
the women.
Outside Speech
Senator Kennedy, making
his first political speech out
side his home State, said the
Democrats would run for elec-

economic recovery, price sta
bility and economy and eff
cheney in Government.
He ranged much of the worlc
