Navy Probing
Sinking Of Sub
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (UP1) A
naval court of inquiry into the
sinking of the submarine Thresher
went into closed session today to
hear and review evidence of a
classified nature.
Vice Adm. Bernard L. Austin
court president, said the closed
sessions might last "several'
davs. The court Is trying to de
tcrmine the cause of the April 10
sinking In which 129 men were
lost. ' -
The hearing room was cleared
of newsmen shortly after an offi
cial of the Portsmouth- Naval
shipyard where the submarine was
built and overhauled was called
to identify debris believed from
the Thresher.
It was indicated the testimony
by Cicero A. Lewis, project engi
neer in the shipyard's design di
vision, might deal with military
secrets.
..The debris included a charred
chunk of plaslic believed part of
the Threshers nuclear reactor
shield. A previous witness had tes
tified the plastic was burned in
a "rush of flame."
..The debris, scooped from the
Atlantic in the area where the
Thresher sank, also included oil
slick samples, gloves used in a
nuclear reactor section of a sub
marine, and part of a life jacket.
Shortly before going into closed
session, a veteran employe of the
shipyard ' expressed the opinion
Uiat a failure in the Thresher's
piling system triggered the sink
ing. , ' ;:
James ' C.: Rogers, an assistant
quality assurance division super
intendent at the yard, said ."fail
ure of a piping system would be
the most hazardous condition that
alight occur."
-While the court was hearing tes
timony, the Thresher's sister 'ship,
Jack, was' launched In the "yard
n,earby. The Jack was designed to
travel faster, deeper and more si
lently than the ill-fated Thresher,

Textbook Rent
Plan Opposed
SALEM (UPI) A bill to let
school districts rent textbooks to
parochial high s c h o o Is was at.
tacked here Tuesday by two
churches, a lodge, the Oregon
School Boards Association and the
Civil Liberties Union. The Senate
Education Committee is hearing
the bill.
The measure grew out of a
State Supreme Court ruling last
year that the ' state's long prac
tice of giving textbooks to pa
rochial schools was unconstitution
al. Two Portland attorneys, both
involved in the case, favored the
bill.
Leo Smith, representing t h e
Catholic Archdiocese of Portland
and Oregon, said the bill only ex
tended the "common privilege of
any citizen" to rent books.
Judah Bicrman of the ACLU
replied the Supreme Court pro
hibition against giving books
would apply to renting them to
parochial, high school students.
He said the court decision
'made fully clear that even
though the books were nlaccd in
the pupils hands they benefit the.
religious institution."
He said the bill would be "open
ing the door again to state sub
sidy of religious education."
Attorney Roy F. Shields, a sup
porter of the bill, conceded school
districts would incur some admin
istrative . expenses in renting
books. 1 .
Lewis E. Stan' of the Masonic
Lodge' said his group would not
oppose the bill If it wort amended
to -charge the 'private schools for
all costs.
i The committee did not lake any
final action.

segregated in a policy followed at
the church for the past two
years.
Father Ecimovich, a memoer
of the Society of the Divine Word
for almost 20 years and a native
of Alexandria, La., said Maeken-
roth jabbed his finger into the
priest s shoulder repeatedly dur
ing the argument.
"One of the parishioners said
'Why don't you stand up to me ?
Father Ecimovich said. "1 ai
swered I wasn't afraid to stand
up." He said when he did Mac
kenroth hit him on the left eye.
He said Mackenroth continued
to strike him and knocked him
against a filing cabinet. He said
one of the other parents pulled
Mackenroth back. Father Ecimo
vich said he extended his hand
to Mackenroth, "but he and the
others walked out."
Thraattns A Mauling
He said Mackenroth shouted as
he left: "I am going to maul you
so you can't preach tomorrow."
Whether the case ever comes
to trial will be up to Dist. Atty.
Leander Perez Jr. He must study
the affidavit the priest filed with
a justice of the peace Tuesday.
Perez' father, Leander H. Perez
Sr., the political leader of Pla
quemines Parish in which Belle
Chase is located, was excommu
nicated last year from the Roman
Catholic Church for vocal opposi
tion to the archdiocese's plans to
desegregate the schools under its
jurisdiction.
A spokesman for the archdio
cese said an attack on a priest
means automatic severance from
the sacraments of the church.
Belle Chase schools are not de
segregated. The town is about SO
miles north of Buras, La., an
other Plaquemines Parish com
munity, where last year segrega
tionists succeeded in getting a to
tal boycott of a Catholic school
which was desegregated.
The sciiool remains open, but
no children attend.

more on secrecy and constraint,
Irwin Maier told the 77th ANPA
convention in the annual address
of the president.
"Two years ago," he said,
"President Kennedy rightly point
ed out the existence of a 'dilem
ma' because of the present need
for 'far greater public information'
along with the need for 'far great
er official secrecy.' I make no
judgment as to the gravity of the
dilemma at that time or at this
time. There will always be that
dilemma, or tension.
"But the dilemma will not be
resolved by administration offi
cials who assume the govern
ment's 'right to lie' to its own
people.
"Aside from the moialty of the
matter, if a government, for what
ever motives, begins to deceive its
citizens, it has begun to corrode
their trust. And once that corro
sion begins, the viability of self
government is gravely in doubt."
Maier, who is publisher of the
Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel,
addressed the opening of general
sessions in the third day of the
four-day meeting.
Government attitude toward
"controlling the flow of public in
formation" is one of the circum
stances which confront the press
in its duty to inform and explain,
he said. Another is the incidence
of "long and punishing" strikes,
he said, with particular reference
to those during the last 12 months
at Minneapolis, Cleveland, and
New York.

Bar To Big Fees
Aimed In Bill
On War Claims
WASHINGTON (UPI)
r,u-
Senate Appropriations Committee
today was expected to approve a
plan for rewriting the Philippine
War Claims Act to bar big fees
for Washington lobbyists.
An appropriations subcommittee
decided to. include the proposal
in a catch-all $1.4 billion supple
mental money bill. The Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has
voted unanimously to change the
law and make the S73 million
lump sum payment to the Phil
ippines.
The present law, passed last
year, provides for payments to in
dividual claimants through the U.
S. Foreign Claims Settlement i
Commission.
Senate action on the House-
passed measure appeared likely
Lext week.
The revised approach was spon
sored by Chairman J. William
Fulbright, D-Ark., of the foreign
relations group following disclo
sures that lobbyists for Philippine
claimants stood to reap huge
fees from the present law.
Money for the original $73 mil
lion claims program was appro
priated last year. If approved by
the Senate and retained ' in the
bill by House-Senate conferees, the
new provision would redirect the
amo.-n to the Philippine govern
ment instead of to the claims
commission. No additional funds
would be needed.
Other congressional news:
Medical: House leaders were
faced with fights over civil rights
and student loans in efforts to get
the administration's medical
school bill passed. The bill would
spend $175 million over three
years to help build and renovate
medical, dental and other "health
profession" schools. It also would
provide $61 million over the same
period to finance a loan program
for needy medical, dental and os
teopathic students. Rep. Abner
Sibal, R-Conn., said he would in
troduce an amendment to bar al
location of funds to schools that
practice racial or religious dis
crimination. A move to knock out
the loan feature from the pro
gram was believed to stand a
good chance of winning House
approval.
Communications: Sen. Albert
Gore.D-Tenn.. questioned whether
the Senate had the constitutional
right to confirm officers of the
Communications Satellite Corp.
Gore said it would be unprece
dented for the Senate to give its
"advice and consent" in a situa
tion involving a "private corpora-
tion organized and chartered for
nrofit..." His remarks were pre
pared for the opening of a Senate
battle over the 14 prominent busi
ness and profession: 1 leaders
named by President Kennedy as
incorporators to set . up the new
