the a Wednesday The Montgomery Aduertiser August 24, 1960 House Cites Three Port Authorities For Contempt In Document Hassle WASHINGTON (AP) The House Tuesday cited three Port of Sew York Authority officials, for contempt of Congress. refused last June to turn over subpoenaed documents to House investigators. The action climaxed over two months of between Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and Govs. Robert B. Meyner of New Jersey and Nelson A.
of New York. The three officials of the bistate agency-Executive Director Aus En J. Tobin, Chairman S. Sloan Colt and Secretary Joseph G. Car-said Meyner and Rockefeller ordered them to withhold the confidential records from House scrutiny.
Votes on the three resolutionsone for each Pot Authority offi1-came after two hours of debate in which Celler charged the Port Authority with a giant propaganda effort to defeat the contempt move. The contempt citations will be given to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia who under law must present them to a federal grand jury. It the three are indicted the case would be tried in U.S. District Court here.
Maximum penalty for conviction would be a $1,000 fine and one year in jail. The authority claims that as a agency it is immune from congressional investigation. Celler described as intransigent and truculent the Port Authority's attitude in the investigation, requested by New Jersey House members objected to Port Authority plans to locate a commercial jet airport in Morris County, N.J. At Trenton. N.J., Meyner declared that New Jersey will fight the contempt citations in "every way we can." He said he did not believe the courts will uphold Congress.
A 170-124 roll vote cited Colt for contempt. Tobin was cited on a 190-60 standing vote. The resolution against Carty passed on a voice vote. Rockefeller 'n a last-ditch attempt to swing votes tot the Port Authority sent telegrams Monday to each House member urging them to oppose the contempt resolutions. This prompted Rep.

Warmer weather is forecast for the Gunman, Girl Friend Tell Varied Stories Of Slaying KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) A Kentuckian, accused of first de- a gree murder and his hometown girl friend gave divergent accounts in court Tuesday of how the victim met his end.
Mary Catherine Hampton, 18, of Sandy Hook, Ky. testified that Emmett Spencer, 29, told her he hit Johnnie T. Keen with a hammer "and put him out of this world" last April 14. Spencer, who has told police he is involved in eight slayings, said Keen apparently was slain by Leon C. Hammel, 45, whom Spencer has admitted killing soon after Keen was bludgeoned to death.
The lanky barge worker's testimony in his own defense confounded law officers who said after the circuit court session that in hours of questioning Spencer, they hadn't heard the story he told in 1 court. Spencer gave this account of his Florida adventures: He and Mary picked up Hammel, a Jacksonville bartender, at Jacksonville Beach as the twO Kentuckians drove south. The three stopped at Marathon where they met a local resident, John Flanagan, and robbed Flanagan's trailer of several guns, a TV set and radio after slipping their, host knockout drops. He said the robbery was the girl's idea, and accused her of suggesting that the victim be slain because "dead men tell no tales." Flanagan was not killed. Spencer, Mary and Hammel then drove to Key West.
Hammel introduced Spencer to Keen, who had a home three doors from where Spencer and Mary were staying. Spencer came back from downtown Key West the night to of the slaying and Mary led him a bedroom where Keen's battered Politics (Continued From Page 1) Committee. He told reporters after the closed meeting gave him "quite optimistic reports." The vice pregident said this coincides with information he has elsewhere. Senators who attended quoted Nixon as saying polls were showing better results for the GOP ticket than he had expected, especially in the South. Republican congressional leaders who went to the White House for their weekly meeting, told Ei(senhower also that the GOP political campaign is "going very Other campaign high lights: Kennedy addressed a Washington meeting of North Carolina newspapers, radio and TV representatives.
Among other things, he said: "I can't believe that in the year 1960 the United States is going to say I cannot be president because of the church I gO to (Roman Catholic). I think North Carolina is going to be fair about it and I think the country is going to be fair about it." Nixon, writing in Life magazine, said America's national purpose is "to extend the of the preamble of our Constitution to our relations with all men." The Democralic National Committee announced plans for a series of coffee hours and afternoon receptions to introduce the women of the Kennedy family to the women of the nation. Gov. J. Lindsay Almond of Virginia planned to interrupt a vacation to welcome Kennedy at an Alexandria, rally Wednesday night.
This was significant in view of the refusal Sen. Harry Byrd, the state's powerful Democratic leader. to say whether he will support the Kennedy ticket. Motorcade Planned To Hear Nixon Speech Plans were announced Tuesday for the formation of a motorcade of Richard Nixon boosters to drive to Birmingham Friday to hear him speak.

Davis, Summons Servers Still Play Hide, Seek Game BATON ROUGE (AP) Three U.S. deputy marshals Mondav. night appeared at the Louisiana executive mansion in another attempt to serve Gov. Jimmie H. Davis a summons to a New Orleans school integration hearing.
But administration sources said the marshals were unsuccessful. The marshals- reported still in a game were, of hide and seek that has gone Senate and his running-mate, Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D- Tex). They have been expected to make Social Security health benefits a major campaign issue. PROGRESSIVE TEST The Senate included in its version two far-reaching Social Security law changes inserted in the Finance Committee.
One would permit retired persons to earn $1,800 a year and still receive their benefits, a $600 boost over the present $1,200 limitation. The other would permit men to retire at 62. but with lower benefits than if they waited until the present of 65. A man taking his retirement payments at 62 would receive 1 for life 80 per cent of the monthly payment he would get at 65; for every month he waited beyond the time he attained 1 62, his payment would be stepped up proportionately until it reached the full rate at 65. GIVEN IN 1956 This age-62 privilage was given women in 1956.
The Senate also accepted liberalizations made by the House in the Social Security disability program written into law in 1956. One of these removes the requirement that only persons over can get these benefits. The Kerr public assistance provision would aid about 2,400,000 needy persons now on the relief rolls. He estimated about 10 million other old persons with low incomes would be eligible for help and that 500,000 to one million might be given help under it in a year. For those already on the rolls, the plan would provide an extra $12 per month for each old age assistance recipient with Washington paying 50 to 80 per cent of the cost depending on the per caita income of the state.
PAY SOME SHARE For needy persons with incomes slightly above the public assist- (Continued From Page 1) the Senate was a plan worked out in the Senate Finance Committee to boost federal grants to stateto help pay medical expenses of persons on the public assistance relief rolls. Aid also would be available under this program for persons with incomes high enough to keep off relief but too low to enable them, to pay medical bills. $200 MILLION The estimated federal cost of this was 200 million dollars a year as it came from the committee. It had been accepted by the Eisenhower administration although in the past the President had, frowned on boosts in federal grants under the public assistance program. However, Tuesday night the Senate voted 51-38 to widen the scope of this provision to include expenses of the mentally ill and tuberculosis patients.
Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla), chief sponsor, of the original provision, said he feared this would mean a veto. This change added about 120 million dollars to the 200 million of the original plan. The broader coverage was proposed by Sens.

The 51-44 setback for the Democratic attempt to apply medical aid to Social Security beneficiaries was a sharp reversal for Kennedy ance level, the plan provides that the federal government would pay the same share of the cost. There would be no dollar limit on this.
The dramatic roll call came shortly after Kennedy had raised the vote to even higher importance by declaring it to be a test of whether Congress could pass any progressive legislation in this abbreviated session. If the Social Security proposal failed, he suggested, the legislators might as well go home and let the party standard bearers take the issues to the people this! fall. The vote was a victory for President Eisenhower who repeatedly has said he would not approve legislation linking a medical care program to Social Security, The likelihood of a veto was a factor in the outcome. Several senators said the Social Security approach to the problem could be considered later but that it was obvious it could not be written into law this year even if Congress voted for it. on between them and the governor.
Davis has remained in the mansion much of the time, and levaded service in the suit by the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP seeks to prevent the governor from enforcing a state law permitting him to close public schools ordered to racially integrate. The suit will be heard by a three-judge court in New Orleans Friday. TOOK OVER The governor last week took over administration of the New Orleans public schools under another new state law as an injunction was sought against him and Atty.
Gen. Jack Gremillion to prevent any interfernece with court-ordered school integration at the first grade level. A. P. Tureaud, Negro attorney for the NAACP, said Davis really is not needed in court Friday since the state's top legal officer, Gremillion, has been served said he would appear.
State treasurer Pat Tugwell also has been served and will appear. At issue in the suit is whether federal court order to integrate the Orleans Parish schools will be carried out or the governor's action taking over the Orleans school system will prevent racial integration. Tureaud has predicted the schools will integrate Sept. 7 regardless of what action the governor takes. State officials and the governor, however, contend the schools will open of a segregated basis.

But Nixon, Klein added, has long been interested in providing for exchange students, especially students from Africa and Asia.
Democrats in the Senate also turned back on Republicans the charge that Kennedy-for-President backers outbid the State Department to help the students for political campaign purposes. Sen. Hugh Scott (R Pa) had raised the charge against Kennedy in the Senate last week, leaving the impression that the Kennedy Foundation wanted to win favor with Negro voters in this country.

Mary told Spencer she was leaving with Hammel. Spencer saw Hammel coming at him with a knife, and shot him with one of the guns stolen from Flanagan. At this, said, Mary told, him "I'll get even with you if can." 1 Spencer testified he and Mary picked up James L. Jobe, 22, of Glace Bay, N.S., a hitchhiker, in Marathon as they headed out of the Keys. He said all were drinking heavily and the car reached speeds up to 125 miles an hour before a state highway patrol trooper cornered it near Leesburg and was wounded as Spencer and Jobe scuffled for Spencer's gun.
Spencer continued alone in the car and was captured at a Leesburg police roadblock. Miss Hampton earlier told an entirely different version of Keen's death. On the night of the slaying, she said, Spencer left their apartment in Key West and took a .45 caliber pistol and a hammer with him. When he came back, she said, he had the pistol but not the hammer. Spencer cursed her and told her to pack.
He said he had car belonging to a Johnny Keene, she testified. "He told me he hit Keene with the hammer and put him out of the she said.

Boy's Death By Choking Brings Probe ANNISTON (AP) A 14-yearold boy apparently choked himself to death with a fishing cord near here Tuesday, Calhoun Coroner Joe Frank Gulledge reported. The coroner said Kenneth Donald Ham was found on his knees with a cord wound tightly around his neck in an outhouse on the Ham farm in the Choccolocco community. Gulledge said the boy's father. Lewis Ham, told him he and his other son went to town for ice and had left Kenneth at home. But he said the boy apparently was in good spirits.
The boy's mother is dead, Gulledge reported. Gulledge said "we will have to assume that he took his own life under the circ*mstances." He said the investigation is continuing.

French Head, Senegal Chief Discuss Split PARIS (AP) -President Charles de Gaulle talked Tuesday, with Senegal's Premier Mamadou Dia in efforts to patch up the quarrel that has' broken up the Mali Federation of Senegal and the old French Sudan.
One of Gaulle's aims is to forestall a drift by the Sudanese toward neutralism or anti-French ties. Dia came to Paris in response to De Gaulle's offer of mediation in the dispute between the two former colonies. BREAK FINAL The Senegalese leader made it clear before seeing De Gaulle that Senegal's break with the federasuch is final. He seemed ready, however, for new links with Sudan. But Sudanse Premier Modibo Keita warned in a telegram to De Gaulle that, if the French President recognized the "secession" of Senegal, "this could have extremely grave consequences FLIRTING WITH REDS Although he did not spell it out, competent sources said they felt Keita was threatening to break with the French community and an association with Guinea, another former French colony.
Guinea's Marxist-leaning, president, Sekou Toure, broke with Paris in 1958 and since has been flirting with Moscow and Peiping. Keita said he wasn't able to see De Gaulle for the present. He refused to recognize the breakup of Mali, declaring this is constitutionally impossible." Keita arrived Tuesday morning in Bamako Sudan's capital, aboard a special train on which the Senegalese had packed him and his staff after releasing him from virtual house arrest in Dakar, Senegal. Reports from Bamako said as many as 50,000 Sudanesc jammed the streets to greet Keita. Powers (Continued From Page 1) same navy blue suit and light.
