it clear it thought the lower
court was so clearly wrong that
further discussion of the point
was not necessary.
The case involved a State
court injunction barring two
National States Rights Party
leaders from passing out hand
bills or holding a meeting in
1861 in the Birmingham sub
ul'b of Fairfield.
Edward r. Fields, the party's
information director, and Rob-
ert Lyons, its youth organizer,
were held to have violated the
injunction. They we're fined
$50 each and sentenced to serve
5-day Jail terms for contempt.
The American Civil Liberties
Union carried their case to the
Supreme Court. where the
appeal was backed-on prin-
ciple-by the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People. The Justice De-
partment also supported the
appeal.
The question of freedom of
speech and assembly presented
in the case was perhaps the
only issue that could have
prompted the three groups to
come to the aid of the segrega-
zionist organization.
The NAACP was concerned
that it's own activities might be
put under a disadvantage If
the convictions stood up.
Today's decision was handed
down less than a week after
the case was argued before the
Supreme Court. 1t said simply,

Allied contracts represented
about IL billion pounds of the

ulation.
Another area still under
study would involve Federal
regulation of warehouses and
tanks used for storage of COM
modities.

recommendations will go to
the White House soon, officials
said. President johnson is ex-
pected to submit specific pro-
posals to Congress early next
year.
Complex Deals
Meanwhile. Senator John j.
Williams, Republican of Della
ware, is working on his own
ideas for legislation, and con-
gressional investigators are
considering full-scale probes.
The trigger for all this &C
tivity is a bizarre scandal in
volving trading In soybean and
cottonseed oils by the Allied
Crude Vegetable Oil Refining
Corp. and its president, An
thony (Tino) DeAngelis.
1t will take months or years
to unravel the story. There
have been suggestions that
those caught in the web may
lose 500 million or more.
Allied was the country's
biggest export dealer in edible
oils, which are used in salad
oil, margarine, vitamins, paints,
plaStics and other products.
Soybean and cottonSeed oils
are major edible oils.
Oils and other agricultural
commodities are bought and
sold in the ordinary kind of
physical transactions on cash
markets, and also in futures
trading.
In futures trading, commodi-
ties are bought and sold for
delivery at the contracted price
at some specified future date.
Spectators buy futures when
they expect prices to rise by
the delivery date and sell when
they expect prices to fall. II

Church Burns
AT Bryantown
Catholic Edifice
Heavily Damaged

Historic st. Marys Catholic
Church at Bryantown, Md, was
heavily damaged by fire a short
time before its pastor was to
say mass there today.
At least a dozen fire COM
panies from four Southern
Maryland counties were called
out in a series of four alarms
starting at 1928 am.
I'm afraid it's gone." re-
ported the pastor, the Rev. Ed
ward j. O'Brien, an hour after
ward.
Flames then were shooting
from the roof of the l70-year-
old red brick structure. The
church is located about q
quarter-mile off State Route
5, seven miles southeast of
Waldorf in Charles County.
Started in Basement
Firemen poured water onto
the structure from the ada
cent parish cemetery where
among the graves, is that OF
DR.. Samuel A. Mudd, the coun-
try doctor who set the broken
leg of John Wilkes Booth, as
sassin of President Lincoln.
Father O'Brien said the
wind-fanned blaze appeared to
have started in the furnace
room in the basement of the
church. then spread to the
roof. He attributed it to an
apparent defect in the heating
system.
Most of the fire was confined
to the rear portion of the
building, including the altar
section, but smoke filtered
through the interior of the
church, which was redecorated
two years ago. Father O'Brien
said.
Father O'Brien estimated
that the loss may reach as
much as 100000.
The pastor said his assistant
the Rev. Donald Kelley, had
celebrated mass at 6:45 am
in the church convent, about
1000 yards away, and he was
returning to the rectory when
he saw smoke coming from the
church.
Father Kelley telephoned the
Charles County fire board in
La Plata.
They told us not to oper
any of the doors until firemer
got there" Father O'Brien said

BY then, he added, the church
apparently was fully involved
in flames inside and flames

Passnan Asks
j. ). Freeze
On New Aid
Urges Johnson
To Order Study;
House to Act
By j. A. OTEARY
Star Staff Writer

Representative Pass an,
Democrat of Louisiana, today
called on President johnson to
freeze all of the $2.8 billion of
new foreign aid money until
the program is restudied.
Opening House debate on
the bill. Mr.. Passman said the
AID agency has SIS billion
unspent in the pipeline from
prior years and could go
through this year without one
dime of new money" He said
the pipeline has increased by
SO billion in the last three
years.
As the debate began. DEM
ocratic leaders were still nom
committal on whether they
would make a fight to restore
any of the $500 million the
Appropriations Committee cut
from the authorized ceiling of
$3.6 billion.
Mr.. Passman recalled that
this is the ninth year he has
handled the bill and in each
year he has been accused of
recommending an amount
that would wreck the program.
He said that, over eight years
the total reductions have
amounted to SOS billion, but
the agency still had more
money last year than it could
spend.
Although House leaders have
not disclosed their strategy,
all indications were that they
would rely on the Senate to
restore part Of the cut rather
than make a fight in the
House.
Democratic leaders are con-
fident the Senate will heec
President Johnson's plea fol
a higher figure, closer to the
S36 billion authorized.
Hope for SS.2 Billion
If they could get about $3.4
billion through the Senate, the
conferees might wind up with
a compromise of about $3.2
billion in conference.
The leaders were believed to
be reluctant to try to upset the
Appropriations Committee in
the House because, if they tried
and failed, it might even start
demands for further cuts ano
reduce the chances of raising
the bill in the Senate.
Debate on the $3.6 billion au'
thorization bill, which cleared
both Houses last week, indi'
Gated that foreign aid is les
popular than usual this year
especially in the Senate.
President Johnson's recent
economy drive has added a new
complication. Members of Con-
gress who have been notified
that defense installations II
their States are soon to bt
closed are not likely to go or
record for higher spending or
foreign aid in other parts Of
the world.

measures Congress will try tt
finish this week before ad-
journing Friday or Saturday

johnson Tells NATO
He Plans No Cuts
WiIIKeepUp
U. S. Troop
Strength

PARIS. Dec. Is (AP).-Presi-
dent johnson assured the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
today that the United States
will maintain its troop strength
in Europe so long as these men
are needed.
Mr.. Johnson's promise was
contained in a message read by
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
at the opening of NATO's
three day winter ministerial
meeting to survey the state of
Western defenses and hopes for
peace.
Mr.. johnson stressed that his
administration would continue
the late President Kennedy's
strong line of support for
NATO.
Mr.. johnson called for "a
balanced NATO defense pos
ture. including powerful nu-
clear and non nuclear forces,
which will deter aggression"
The President added:
ITO NATO's continuing fuls
fillment of this task, I pledge
my country's will and resources
We will keep in Europe the
equivalent of six American di-
visions that are now deployed
there, so long as they are
needed. and under present cir
cumstances there is no doubt
that they will continue to be
needed"
Renewed Assurances
With his pledge the new
American President tried to put
at rest the speculation that has
been current in Europe since
the Big Lift" exercise two
months ago that a stable with
drawal of American troops was
| in the wind. Other United
States officials have also given
such assurances repeatedly
since Big Lift.
Mr.. johnson said United
States fulfillment of its NATO
commitments is "a lasting
memorial to the stature" of
President Kennedy.
But he also called on Ameri-
cas- allies to do their part, say
ing:
II am confident that our
allies will also make their full
contributions to this NATO de-
tense. so that the burdens and
responsibilities of partnership
may be equitably shared.
Military strength-both nu-
clear and -nuclear-is use
full only as it serves political
ends.
Our task is to ensure that
NATO remains an effective
means for concerning these
ends, as we'll as for building
that strength.
Partnership in Program
In these fields-as we'll as
in monetary affairs, in aid to
the developing areas and in
trade-we must each assume
responsibilities commensurate
with our resources.
This is what partnership in
a vigorous Atlantic community
means and requires. To this
end we welcome the emergence
of a Europe growing in unity
and strength. For we know
that only a uniting Europe can
be a strong Europe. and only
a strong Europe will be an eff
fective partner.
