Congressional Control
Of Intelligence Shelved
Washington - HOT -The
House rules committee, acting
to head off a possible public
squabble over whether there
was fumblnig by the Central
Intelligence Agency in the
spy plane incident, today
shelved legislation to put the
agency under constant con
gressional scrutiny.
Chairman Howard W.
Smith (D-Va.) said the com
mittee felt "this was not the
time" to conduct public hear
ings on whether or not to
create a new watchdog com
mittee to oversee intelligence
No vote was taken at the
closed committee session, but
committee sources said the
decision appeared to be unani
mous. "However, there was a sur
prising amount of feeling that
this ought to be done at a later
time," one committee source
said.
The "later time," it was
clear, will not be before next
year.
The feeling of House and
Senate leaders has been that
the case of the spy plane
downed in Russia ought not to
be further brought Into pub
lic controversy.

Kennedy Confident
Party Nomination
Now Within Grasp
Washington - iLPt - Sen.
John F. Kennedy (Musi.) was
confident today that he would
win the Democratic president
ial nomination and political
leaders in both parties agreed
that his bandwagon was roll
ing in high gear.
But strategists in the camps
of rival Democratic a.spirants
contended Kennedy could be
stopped despite his smashing
victory In the West Virginia
primary which blunted the
religious issue and knocked
Sen. Hubert 11. Humphrey
(Minn.) out of the race.
Some jubilant Kennedy
supporters across tiie country
forecast he would capture the
nomination on the first bal
lot. But the 42-year-old sen
ator shied away from any
such prediction at a news con
ference Wednesday.
Kennedy Sure He'll Win
Kennedy, a Catholic, said
his victory in overwhelming
ly Protestant West Virginia
convinced him he would win
the nomination and "dimin
ished substantially, if not
eliminated" the religious issue
from the race.
He also belittled charges
that his West Virginia show
ing was the result of lavish
campaign spending on his be
half by his wealthy family
and supporters.
Kennedy's W est Virj.r.ia
triumph caused Republican
and one Democ.atic rival.
Sen. Wayne Morse (Ore to
step up their fire at the Mas
sachusetts lawmaker.
Victory Big Boost
Many Democratic leaders
.saw Kennedy's West Virginia
victory as a big boost to his
candidacy.
In a joint statement, New
York state Democratic Chair
man Michael H. Pendergast
and Carmine G. Dc Sapio, the
state's national commit tee
man, said Kennedy had "prov
ed himself to be a very strong
and very able contender."
Michigan Gov. G. Menncn
Williams said Kennedy's win
made him "the front runner
among those potential candi
dates who can attract support
of t he liberals in the Demo
cratic party."
Aides of Richard M. Nixon,
only candidate for the GOP
nomination, are reviewing the
vice president's campaign
plans to gear them to his con
viction that Kennedy will be
his probable opponent.

Missing Broadacres
Family Returns
Salem - ll'PI! - A family of
six ptrsons gont from their
home at Broadacres for a
week and reported missing
by a neighbor returned
home this morning, the
Marion county sheriff's
office said.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter L.
Rhoades and their four
children were back safe and
sound before deputies had
hardly started a check on
their whereabouts.
X15 rocket ship was made
today when pilot Joe Walker
flew across the desert at an
altitude of 75,000 feet.
Walker, test pilot for the
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, was
carried aloft for his third
flight beneath the wing of an
eight-jet bomber.
After final checkouts at
45,000 feet, Walker was trig
gered loose in the experi
mental plane over Silver
Lake, 110 miles east of here.
He gunned his engines to a
speed of mach 2.8, or nearly
2,000 miles an hour before his
fuel was expended in about
four minutes.
Ten minutes after the drop,
Walker lowered his skids and
slid to a dusty landing on
Rogers Dry Lake while crash
wagons swarmed around him
in a routine precaution meas
ure. The X15 then was loaded
on a flat-bed truck and re
turned to the air base.
