e - Gbihmittee Reaches Agreement on Foreign MBill MS Most Messages Sent To Kennedy iFavor Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Washington-HJPI)-"It will be a black day for all people if we do not take this first step for peace." "It is another give-in to the Reds." These conflicting views on whether the United States should sign the nuclear test ban treaty with Russia were among more than 2,000 let ters and telegrams that have poured into the White House on the issue. Both messages came from California. The White House reported that messages to President Kennedy were running about 12 to 1 in favor of the test ban agreement. It gave report ers a look Wednesday at a Tandom selection of the let ters and telegrams received since Kennedy's address to the nation Friday night. A telegram from Washing ton state told the President that "fathers and mothers thank you" and one from Brooklyn said "anybody op. posing the treaty should have his head examined." A Demo cratic club in California tele' graphed praise for the treaty and urged "more mgn level conferences." Can't Rely on Russia "It is our opinion that this proposal is nothing . more than a victory for the cow ardly pacifists," a Chicago couple wrote. "We feel that you are naive to think that the American people should be expected to think that they can rely on' the signa ture of the Soviet Union." Another Chicagoan asked "how many times does the West have to be sucked in by Russia before she finally re alizes that any peaceful seeming concession such as the test ban treaty is merely another chess move in Rus sia's game to win the world?" "If we are foolish enough to disarm, then communism has us bound and will take over," , a , Montana couple wrote. From Arizona came a tele gram opposing the treaty, saying that Khrushchev should be made to tear down the Berlin wall and remove Russian troops from Cuba and other countries. "A test ban without an ab solute foolproof inspection is suicide," said a telegram from West Palm Beach, Fla. A Philadelphia woman wrote that the treaty "will stop future fallout, will les sen the armj race and might even lead to disarmament." A letter from Madison, Wis., said it was "reassuring to know that our water and food will be less contaminat ed with strontium." You said what urgently needs to be said and you said it with power and authority,' a letter-writer in Nashville Tenn., told Kennedy. "Even FDR could not have done better." A letter from Urbana, 111. said history may record the treaty as the most significant action of the Kennedy admin istration. But an Indiana critic said the treaty could only help Russia and that experience over the past 17 years should show that it was worthless.

Herbert Bale Co. sawmill at Wallowa, Ore., the National Labor Relations Board said Wednesday. An order decertifying the union was signed by Thomas P. Graham, NLRB regional director. The union has 10 days to appeal. The vote was held June 13 and 300 ballots were cast. The company and union chal lenged 154 of the votes, but eventually 146 votes against the union and 84 in favor were counted. Graham then ruled that 10 of the remaining ballots were not valid, making it impos sible for the others to offset the voles against the union. Local 2fl0fi went on strike at the mill June 15, l!lti2, but it later reopened with non union workers. Figure Totals $438 Million Less Than Asked Washington - WPP - The House Foreign Affairs Com mittee reached agreement to day on a foreign aid bill totaling slightly less than S4.1 billion. This was $438 million below what President Ken nedy wanted. Chairman Thomas E. Mor gan (D-Pa.) announced the figure after a closed-door ses sion. Morgan said a commit tee vote on the bill would be taken next week, but that was only a formality. The committee approved an amendment by Rep. Robert R. Barry (R-N.Y.) calling upon the industrialized nations to assume a greater share of the burden of aiding the under dt eloped countries. This was in line with the committee's feeling that West ern Europe and Japan should now take on at least part of the aid responsibility which the United States has been carrying. A d m i n i s t r ation forces claimed at least a partial vic tory by holding down reduc tions in the face of strong congressional demands to cut deeper than ever before. But, in doing so, they had to ac cept new restrictions on how Uncle Sam would hand out the assistance. Among other things, the bill contains a ban on further U. S. aid to Indonesia unless President Kennedy makes a formal finding .that such as sistance is vital to U. S. interests. African Arms Prohibited The committee also insert ed a prohibition against more arms aid to African countries beyond what they need for reasonable" internal security reauirements. Kennedy also could make an exception to this if he could justify the move in a finding. At the same tune, the com mittee said in advance that if Cuban Premier Fidel Castro is overthrown, the new gov ernment would not receive any U. S. sugar quota or aid money unless at least 50 per cent of American properly seized by Castro is relumed. Communist Cuba does not re ceive U. S.. assistance. Senate Maneuver Kills Measure For Bracero Program Extension Washington-IUPB- Senate lib erals Wednesday killed a bill to extend the Mexican farm labor program by using a surprise parliamentary ma neuver. Sen. William Proxmire (D Wis.) pulled the surprise when he objected that the bill had been reported out of the Agriculture Committee with out a quorum present. The House earlier, in a sur prise move, narrowly voted down a two-year extension of the bracero program. An at tempt to keep the program al ive beyond this year was riding on what the Senate did. Senate opposition had been led by Sen. Harrison A. Wil liams (D-N.J.). Western farmers, especially in Texas and California, have traditionally contended that they needed the supply of Mexican labor to harvest their crops. Several church organizat'ons and labor un ions have denounced the pro gram as damaging to U. S. do mestic workers. The move in the Senate came when Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) ruled that the bill was not properly before the body after consulting with as- ACCEPTS RESIGNATION Washington -IUPII- President Kennedy has accepted the resignation of Anthony B. Akers as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand. Hollywood - (UPD - Actress Barbara Rush, 34, and her in fant girl were reported in "ex cellent condition" today at Cedars of Lebanon hospital. sistant Senate parliamentar ian Floyd Riddick. Pell's ruling was made over the protests of Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Sen. Gordon Allout (R-Colo.) and Sen. Spcssard L. Holland (D-Fla.). Pell ruled the bill was still in the custody of the Agricul ture Committee, which had reported it out without hear ings over the objections of Proxmire and three other members. Get the best cooler!

Special Session In California Nears Last Hour ; Sacramento -IUPII- The 1963 j legislature, one of the most bitterly partisan in years, headed into its final hours today. Only one major issue re mained to be settled: adop tion of a joint Senate-Assembly conference committee re port on slate aid to schools. Under the accord reached j in the six-member committee, j local schools would get an extra $25 million in yearly J state aid. But, responding to Senate opposition, t h e conferees ; turned down an administra- j lion-backed measure to adopt i a countrywide tax system for j scnooi support, lorcmn weal thier districts to share their money with poorer districts in the same counties. With adoption of the re port, both houses could ad journ today, completing a four-week special session called by Gov. Edmund G. Brown beginning July 8. j But Assemblyman Charles J. Conrad (R-Sherman Oaks), GOP floor leader, said the ac tion might be illegal anyway. He based his statement on adoption of a resolution by the assembly Wednesday changing the lower body's rules and having the practi cal effect of firing four GOP ; committee chairmen and sev en vice chairmen. On a 47-26 party line vote. Democrats changed the rules : lo require that the positions be held by members of the same party as the assembly speaker.
