part in the move TO expand

Vows to Oppose Move
Senator Dirksen announced
last week he would oppose any
attempt by the Democrats 10

and predicted 1t would be de-
feated in the Senate II recon-
mended by the Democratic
leadership.
Southern Democrats are un-
derstood 10 be lined up against

cupy seven OF the IS places on

Opponents Of the enlarge

by the administration to help

But one informed Democrat
ic source discounted this argu-
ment and suggested II was be-
ing considered mainly 10 make
openings for some OF the DEM
ocratS with seniority who are
anxious TO get on the Finance
Committee.
This source explained that,
while the Finance Committee
as now constituted might not
report out the kind OF tax bill

leadership is confident that

which the Presidents supper
ers could amend on the Senate

all Federal lending programs.
From the standpoint Of gen.
eral philosophy, these we're the
committees major recommen-
dations:
/. The goal Of Federal credit
programs should be to encour-
age and supplement-not dis
place-private lending.
2. All programs should be re-
viewed periodically because the
committee believes lit is rea-
sonable TO expect that some
programs should. over time,
move from extending one type
Of credit assistance 10 another
more in tune with the evolu-
ton OF private markets"
3. Occasionally. a program
might be so successful in foster
IAN efficient. competive and
self-reliant private market" in
a given field that special Fed
eral support could be with
drawn entirely"
4. Direct Federal loans,
rather than guarantees or in
surance backing private lend
ing should be granted only as
a last resort.
The committees emphasis
throughout the report was on
placing greater reliance on pri-
vate resourceS-the point en-
phasized by Mr.. Kennedy In
both his budget and economic
messages to Congress.
In arguing for the elimina-
ton OF fixed interest rates on
FHA and VA loans, the COM
mittee said more flexible ar
rangements would make rates
more responsive TO changing
credit conditions.

the committee we're Chairman

Gil Of Economic Advisers, Chair

held out in pockets In heavily
populated sections OF Baghdad.
Troops and civilians of the
National Guard have been
moving In Systematically to

Tigris River near the city's
main telegraph office.
A rifle shot cracked from an
upstairs window, according to
an eyewitness, and an army
tank crew stationed on the side
street opened fire with two
machine guns.
The cracking of small arms
and the boom of heavier guns
were heard sporadically for the
rest Of the night, winding UP
just before dawn with a heavy
outburst near Baghdad's main
intersection, Liberation Square.
Just before the fighting
started, Iraq's new President,
Abdel Salam Aref, told a news
conference that Gen. Kassem
tried to bargain with him for
mercy a few hours before his
downfall.

pie"
President Aref said Gen,
Kassem managed to reach him
by telephone Friday night aft

Defense Ministry where the
Premier was dug in.
He tried to bargain for
time, to use our old friendship
to plead for mercy but 1t was
merely a trick" said the AZ
