Senate probers heard testi-

national crime syndicate for
any local police force to crush.
Police Chief Neil G. Brown
Of Tampa told the Senate In

there have been % gang
land Sayings" in the Tampa
area since 1928, only one Of
them solved.
Mr.. Brown said the killings
show "how the Malta uses muir
der to discipline its member
ship, to revenge itself against
violators of its code and TO
otherwise eliminate opposition
to its criminal activities and
goals" They show, too, how
difficult it is to get witnesses
to talk, he said.
OF 145 homicides other thar
gang killings between 1858 and
the end of 1862, he said, only
four remain unsolved. Every
homicide in the 1960-l961
period has been solved.

way unless we get some mean
ingful legislation"
COnciliatOry Approach
Mr.. Kennedy's 26-page pre-
pared statement to the COM
mittee was conciliatory in con-
ceding that reasonable men
might reasonably differ" both
as to the need as well as con-
stitutionality of some Of the
bills broadest provisions"
He took the general position
that most if not all of the
provisions could be justified
on the basis of civil rights de-
mails as well as demonstra-
tons particularly during the
past year. Nevertheless, he
questioned whether Congress
would be wise in giving con-
siderably broader authority
than the administration re-
quested to cope with racial
discrimination in various
areas.

the changes and submit them
again to the council.
Today's vote approved the
use Of modern languages for
the sacraments Of baptism, con-
firmation, penance. matrimony
and extreme JUNCTION. The vote
was 2.l33-l9, a council press
spokesman said.
The more than 1000 prelates
meeting in st. Peters Basilica
also agreed to change the name
of extreme unction-the Sac
rament of Last Anointing-to
Amounting Of the Sick" This
was done to remove the fear
of-death overtones Of the sac
rament's present name.
Approval of these changes
came in voting on amendments
to a schema (topic) on Lit
urgy, or public worship.

voted to end discussion on q

Attorney General Kennedy
urged Congress today to ap-
prove the administrations origi-
nal civil rights proposals in
stead Of padding provisions he
warned might unnecessarily
and dangerously broaden Fed
eral power.
Appearing at a House Ju-
dietary Committee closed ses-
sion on an especially compre-
.hensive and controversial bill,
he pleaded for bipartisan sup
port and proper compromise to
obtain a strong but realistic
measure this year.
Mr.. Kennedy advised the
committee to modify but not
water down various parts Of
the bills section dealing par
ticularly with public accommo-
dations, voting rights and fair
employment practices.
He Endorsed many Of the
broader provisions a subcom-
mittee recommended two weeks
ago. He noted that most Of
the bill was in line with Presi-
dent Kennedy'S recommended
tons last summer.
Compromise Urged
He made it clear that he
believes there is a real need
for compromise If any civil
rights bill is to get through the
House this year. He insisted,
however, both to the commit
tee and later in comments to
newsmen, that the administra-
tons primary concern is not
to get a political compromise
in Congress, but to obtain en-
actment Of a good bill as soon
as possible in the best interests
Of the Nation.
In response to newsmen's
questions as to whether he
favored toning down the sub
committee bill and whether
his stand might antagonize
Negroes and other strong civil
rights advocates, the Attorney
General replied:
THE original recommended
tons by the President were
hailed as a major step for

States to Accept

President Kennedy has

nearly two more years in which
to take advantage Of the Fed
eral bonus offered for control
ling billboards along the inter-
state highway system.
States which accept the Fed
eral billboard standards receive
one half of per cent in addi-
ton to the normal 80 per cent
which the Federal Government
contributes to building the in
terstate system.
Thus far, 20 States have &C.

Congress decided to give the
others more time in which to
act. Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia are among the
20 which have signed up.
Begun in 1856, the interstate

quarter caused CONSERVATION

into taking emergency action.
The United States has def
cts in its balance of payments
because the Government, pri-
vate individuals and businesses
spend, lend, invest and give
away more money abroad than
they receive from foreign
sources.
Continued large deficits lead
to losses Of gold from Govern
ment stocks and can undermine
confidence in the dollar.
The emergency actions taken
in July generally are credited
with improving the situation so
dramatically in the July
September quarter.
Investments Curbed
The Federal Reserve Board
made the key move, raising the
discount rate from 3 to 3.5 per
cent. This had the effect of
raising short-term interest
rates generally.
Higher rates have discour-

Plan Decried

The Presidents top science

DR.. jerome Wiesner, head of
the Office of Science and Tech

that research and development
budgets for the Defense De-
partment have been relatively
stable for the last three or four
years.
However, he told a House

if the civilian space agency
were not pushing vigorous

the Defense Department would
have to add some programs,
such as manned orbital flight.
But DR.. Wiesner insisted mo

as communications.
DR.. Wiesner said the Situa-
ton is very different from that

States was "at a very serious
disadvantage"

stage the proposal is at least

recommended that the tax be
made retroactive.
Spending CurtaiIed
Mr.. Kennedy, in another July
move, also ordered reductions
in overseas spending for foreign
aid, defense and other pro-
grams.
Some administration Off
Gals regard the Improvement in
the July-September quarter as
a turning point toward final
solution Of the payments prob

But others are skeptical about
how far the Improvement will
go. They note that even a 50
