Information Chief Os Pentagon Scored

WASHINGTON (UPD — Pentagon information chief Arthur Sylvester has won early top billing, by name and by implication, in a congressional investigation of federal “news management.” Sylvester’s name and comments were repeated frequently, and seldom favorably, Tuesday in the’ opening round before the House Government Information subcommittee headed by Rep. John E. Moss, D-Calif. The hearing was devoted to a panel discussion by 11 news industry representatives who generally agreed that the Kennedy administration indeed is managing. and over-managing news. But opinions ranged from cries of “shame” and “decet” to a view that the situation is “not as black” as some people paint it and is better than in the last 20 years. Moss began and ended the first session by calling for “formulation of guidelines” for any future crisis so there will be no repetition of mistakes made during the Cuban emergency last fall. Hearings Resume Monday The hearings will resume Monday with testimony by Sylvester, who is assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, and Robert Manning, assistant secretary of state for public affairs. References to Sylvester mainly centered about his statement last December that it was the government's “inherent...right, if necessary, to lie to save itself when it’s going up into a nuclear war.” The statement referred to some events in the Cuban crisis. The hottest attacks ter were made by Clark Tdollenhoff, Washington correspondent for the Cowles Publications and a representative of the Freedom of Information Committee of Sigma Delta Chi (SDX), professional journalism society. “It is difficult to see how any-

one bow can have much confidence in what he has to say,” Mollenhoff declared. Not A “Vendetta” Another panelist who also had assailed Sylvester assured the subcommittee at one point that no attempt was being made at “a vendetta” against the Pentagon official —a former Washington correspondent himself. But Rep. Porter Hardy, D-Va., said later—apparently in jest: "We are engaging here now in making a finding about Mr. Sylvester, that he's not the right man for the job.” Sylvester had no comment on the day’s testimony—and in the view of Pentagon newsmen, he still had the confidence of his boss, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara. The news media representatives said the government had no right to lie to the public in any situation short of all-out war or unless the national security was involved. They'charged that the administration went beyond these limits in the Cuban crisis.

Tomato Growers At Geneva March 26 During the next three months, the tomato growers of north central Indiana will have the opportunity to learn the latest developments in the industry. A series of 12 meetings, at which a number of related problems will be discussed, is being held under the direction of the Purdue extension service. The Indiana agricultural association, Farm Bureau's newest affiliate, is assisting with arrangements. March meetings will be held in Mt. Summit school cafeteria, March 21, 7:30 p.m.; at the Geneva fire house, March 26, 8 p.m. It is suggested that growers from Delaware, Madison, Henry, and Rush, attend the Mt. Summit meeting and Adams, Allen Jay, Randolph' and Wells, the one at Geneva. Mark Tomes, Purdue botany and plant pathologist, will discuss tomato varieties on the first three programs; while G. E. Wilcox, Purdue horticulturist, will report on the latest development in fertilzation. Tomes will be replaced by Wm. Davis, Farm Placement, United States employment, service, in the Geneva meeting.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Surprise Move On Budget Bill

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Lt. Gov. Richard O. Risfine proposed today that a 12-member conference committee and ex officio group including Governor Welsh be given the responsibility for fashioning an “austere but adequate” budget and revenue measure while a special session of the Indiana Legislature is in recess. Ristine’s surprise proposal, in which he criticized foot-dragging lawmakers and confessed his own guilt, promptly was hailed by some legislators and frowned on by others. Ristine’s proposal would send home indefinitely the lawmakers not on the committee. Ristine made his proposal in recess remarks in the Senate where he is presiding officer, and said he did so after discussing it with Governor Welsh. Ristine suggested the 12-member committee be made up of House and Senate Republicans and Democrats with Welsh, Ristine, the state budget director and the House speaker sitting in. The group would “confer in an attempt to resolve our difficulties and come up with an adequate but austere budget and a tax program," Ristine said. Ristine made a strongly-worded speech in which he assailed the Democratic net income tax on corporations proposal as detrimental to a high employment rate. “We stand in grave jeopardy of betraying our pledge to the people of Indiana and we must render an accounting to our Indiana citizens,” Ristine said. “No hope of high office or political consideration should stand in the way of our pledge to determine the needs of the state and provide a budget, to provide for growth of jobs, and our pledge to provide relief to property taxpayers.” He warned that if Indiana fails to provide needed governmental services “the people will go to Washington for it.” Senate Democratic minority leader Marshall F. Kizer said after Ristine spoke that the Democrats would “accept the procedures outlined by” Ristine but he said the proposal represented “pessimism of the worst kind.” By compromising, Kizer said, “a tax bill can be written right on this floor” without making a conference committee necessary. Ristine suggested that when the conference committee reaches a compromise agreement, if would call the legislators back to their desks and distribute copies of the agreement,which they would study for 24 hours before acting on it. Ristine criticized the lawmakers for varying attitudes which contributed to the assembly’s procrastination, and he told them “you who do not feel the criticism fits may take your case to the public.” “First, we have among us those who avoided responsibility as to how the state needs might be met,” Ristine said. “Second, we have those who projected revenues without regard to the impact on, jobs and growth. Third, we have those who sought to find the popular answer and sweep the problem under the rug. “And finally, we have those who wanted to see others take the blame and they take the credit.” He said some may feel the criticism does not fit them “but I confess I cannot stand here before

. you and make such a claim.” “I am hopeful we will adopt a budget which will meet the demands and will be austere but adequate,’’ Ristine said. “But I am not so hopeful that we can adopt a revenue measure and go home. We cannot budget beyond our revenues and surplus and the surplus now is close to exhaustion. “If we don’t povide some cushion every department, agency, school corporation would be in jeopardy.” * Earlier, a seven-member House committee met in a last-ditch effort to agree on redistricting of the lower chamber. Signs Bill Forming State Youth Council Governor Matthew E. Welsh has signed a bill creating the Indiana youth council a department of state government that will replace the present governor’s youth council. The law, which becomes effective July 1, 1963, also creates a citizens advisory committee and prescribes that tnere be at least one committee member from each county in the state. The new statute will not affect the status of citizens advisory committee members appointed under the existing law. Leo Seltenright and Robert Worthman, both of Decatur, the members of the CAC of Adams county will continue to serve in their present capacities. The Indiana youth council is a bi-partisan facility designed to coordinate the planning, leadership and services of the several agencies of state government which contribute to the prevention, control and treatment of juvenile delinquency. Its duties include giving consultative assistance to municipalities, counties, organizations and individuals whose programs and services are dedicated to the maximum development of Hoosier youth and to combating forces that encourage delinquency. The Advisory Committee members are charged to advise, assist and cooperate with the Youth Council in performance of statutory duties and, upon the request of voluntary citizens groups or individuals conducting youth programs, to act as liaison between puch groups and the Indiana Youth Council.

Soviet Russia Rips France On Nuclear Tests GENEVA (UPD — The Soviet Union today ripped into France for resuming nuclear tests in the Sahara Monday and implied that the United States tacitly approved of the French action. Soviet negotiator Semyon Tsarapkin told the 17-nation disarmament conference it was “characteristic” that the United States had “found no word to condemn France” for the new test. Tsarapkin said U.S. silence on the subject took on added significance in view of last year’s Unitea Nations General Assembly resolution appealing for a halt to all

nuclear testing by last Jan. 1. Earlier, the United States told the Soviet Union to quit stalling and get down to serious talks on negotiating a nuclear test ban agreement. U.S. Ambassador Charles C. Stelle told the conference that it is time for faster progress and fewer disappointments in the negotiations. He" said the Soviets blocked progress last month by their refusal to compromise on the issue of on-site inspections, just when “it seemed that an accord was very near.” But Stelle added that an agreement can be reached “if only the Soviet delegation were willing to engage in serious negotiations." Before Stelle spoke, the United Arab Republic expressed its “genuine shock nd grave alarm" at the renewal of French testing, while Canada made a passing reference to the new test. But it was the Russians, as expected, who made the most propaganda out of the latest French

test. Before he spoke, one Western diplomat had observed that Tsarapkin could hardly “be expected to pass up a chance of this kind.” And he didn’t, “The’ actions of the Western powers make it extremely difficult to advance discussion on general and complete disarmament as well as to conclude a nuclear test ban,” he saW» "The United States is camouflaging the true reason for the failure of the nuclear negotiations which is that the United States does not want an agreement based on two to three inspections and seismic stations.”
