But he said this country still will in sist on some kind of on-the-spot inspection plan. Kennedy made the state ment shortly before confer ring wilh Chief U. S. Nuclear Negotiator Arthur Dean. He said Dean would return to Geneva today to work toward achievement of an agreement based on the new findings.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The big news from Wash ington as this is written con cerns a filibuster conducted by what the dispatches de scribe as "a small band of Democratic 'liberals' in the senate" who are opposing President Kennedy's commun ications satellite bill-which is a bill to create a corporation to handle the worldwide com munications, including Inter national television broadcasts, that will be made possible by the Telstar satellite system. The administration bill would create a corporation governed by 15 directors. Six of the directors would be elected by holders of stock to be offered to the public at a minimum initial price of $100 per share. Six more directors would be named by commun ications companies in propor tion to voting stock held, but no company could vote for more than three directors. Three directors out of the 15 would be named for three year terms by the President. CONSIDERING the problems that MUST be solved, in cluding international negoti ations that will have to be conducted at government lev els, it doesn't sound too bad. But It is opposed by a band of starry-eyed liberals who ap parently concede that they haven't voles enough to defeat it so are adopting the fili buster tactic which amounts to talking it tr death. OUR Wayne Morse is against the President's bill. He says: "As far as I am con cerned, I am AGAINST IT. Those satellites should be AMERICAN FLAG satellites and not monopoly satellites." Our Matirine is also against the President's bill. She says: "Under the administration bill, the AT&T would be the chosen instrument to own and control civilian space com municiilions. Why should we hasten to give away the fruits of billions of taxpayer dollars to a private monopoly owned and controlled by a few huge companies and dominated by the greatest and most power ful monopoly in America today?" Revision of Satellite Bill Said Expected Washington - (UPI) - Sen. Al bert Gore (D-Tonn.), said to day he figures the Senate For eign Relations committee will revise the space communica tions bill to allow President Kennedy to control interna- j tional negotiations involving any satellite corporation. Gore, a member of the com-1 mittee, and other liberal Dem ocrats led the five-day fill-1 buster which resulted In the : bill being returned to the com-1 mittee for a 10-day study. Deadline Aug. 10 The legislation to create a i privately owned, government regulated communications; satellite corporation must be reported back to the Senate I for action by noon on Au?. 10. ! Gore said the bill, as it now stands, gives the corporation primary seat" In foreign negotiations involving space communications, and "the President a secondary one." "The Constitution," Gore said, "contemplated it to be the other way around." Other congressional news: Bonds - The House Foreign Affairs committee met behind closed doors to work out a compromise proposal to pur chase United Nations bonds. Sources say President Ken nedy has told the lawmakers he will accept a compromise if it will assure passage of the bill. Eslei - The Senate investi gations subcommittee, probing Billie Sol Estcs' activities in Washington, called two Agri culture department officials to testify about meetings Estes attended at the department's headquarters.
