Editors Say Government Secrecy Is Increasing WASHINGTON Ufi - A spokes man for America's newspaper ed itors said today a "suffocatingly pervasive" climate of secrecy is ' spreading through the vast fed eral government. J. R. Wiggins, vice president and executive editor of the Wash ington Post, spoke for tho Amer ican Society of Newspaper Editors in asking the House Government Information subcommittee to ap prove a bill which he called a "timid beginning" against the se crecy trend. The bill would specify that a 169-year-old law empowering fed' eral department heads to pre scribe regulations for handling records does not provide authority to keep records secret. All 10 gov ernment departments oppose the bill. Higher Wheat Support Asked WASHINGTON t - Nine Re publican senators from wheat producing states joined Friday in a move to force Secretary of Ag riculture Benson to peg govern ment wheat price supports at not less than $2 a bushel on this year's crop. The Eisenhower farm cabinet member previously announced an average support of SI. 79 a bushel on 1958 wheat the minimum poS' sible under existing farm laws Joining in the legislative effort to keep supports at $2, the aver age lor last year s crop, were Kens. Dworshak of Idaho, Mundt and Case of South Dakota. Young of North Dakota. Curtis and Hrus ka of Nebraska, Carlson and Schocppcl of Kansas and Thye of Minnesota. Mundt, acting as spokesman for the GOP wheat state lawmakers, said "we do not consider that this legislation provides a final and permanent answer to the prob lems confronting the wheat pro ducers of America, However, it will maintnin whent prices at pres ent levels or better during the 1958 crop year and provide time lor the country and the Congress lo come up with a more adequate and lasting solution to the (arm problem as it pertains to wheal."

"I can see no reason why we shouldn't vote it out ; publicly," Moss told a newsman. Louisville editor James S. Pope, speaking for the Southern News paper Publishers Assn., urged fewer secret committee proceed ings on grounds this would ease backstage pressures on congress men. Wiggins' strong endorsement of the Moss bill was paralleled in separate prepared testimony by Washington Atly. Irving Fermun for the American Civil Liberties Union and by Harold L. Cross, freedom of information counsel for the ASNE. Wiggins said the 1789 law was plainly intended only as a house keeping statute. If Its trainers had meant otherwise, he said, they could have written the words "concealment, withholding and secrecy into the law authorizing custody, use and preservation of records. "Departmental usage has cor rupted and distorted the plain meaning of the statute," Wiggins snid, making it "irreconcilable with the principles of the First (freedom of speech) Amendment and inconsistent with the right of citizens to know about the conduct of their own government." "Congress, by this simple amendment, will help alter a cli mate in which secrecy is becom ing pervasive in the federal estab lishment suffocatingly perva sive," Wiggins added. It is a very timid beginning!. . . it is worth doing. . , las I a sign and a symbol of congressional purpose and intent. . ." rerman sakl that because of a widespread need for information in keeping a democracy strong, it is "almost shocking" that all 10 federal departments should op pose Moss' bill. Cross said Moss proposed no- secrecy amendment to the 17119 statuto would still leave on the books more than 60 laws authoriz ing withholding of information, in cluding a 1946 act under which he said officials have been able to assert secrecy lor nearly all data they choose to. But Cross said the housekeep ing law has been a major legal prop lor departmental claims that making their records public is mutter of courtesy or grace them.

Polish Plan Written Off WASHINGTON i An immed iate start on income tax reduction was urged today by the Council of State Chambers of Commerce, which said such a move would be a big help in "turning around the recession." The council's recommendations. calling for graduated annual tax cuts, were contained in testimony prepared by Clarence D. Lavlin of Columbus, Ohio, for the House Ways and Means Committee. That group is winding up five weeks of hearings on general tax revision. "We believe strongly that the tax reductions of 1954 and the tax revision of 1954 helped materially I in tnrnino nrnttnrt tlia mnn.nn I which slartPd in tho faii f ioilrrom Paul Ziffron and ended in the summer of!lawye.r' who s.aid our system of free enterprise." In prepared testimony, Carter W. Atkins, executive director of the Connecticut Public Expendi ture Council, suggested a tax re vision program embracing: 1. "An income tax, individual and corporate, that embodies rates and principles which will not handicap this country in achieving and maintainins the greatest eco nomic strength" possible. 2. "A tax structure that leaves to the states and the local govern ments sufficient areas of taxation 1954," Laylin said "We are equally convinced that tax rate reductions at this time would have a similar elfect on the current recession." The council recommended to Congress lowering the maximum individual rate lrom 91 to 82 per cent and the minimum rate from 20 to 19 per cent, with additional rate reductions put into effect an nually until the-top rate is re duced to 50 per cent, ft proposed an immediate cut in corporation income taxes from NEW YORK :The New York 52 to 50 per cent, with the rate Times said today the State De-iu',imalely reduced to 47 per cent, purtment has written off as "ex-1 A spokesman for 13 stale tax- reineiy aangerous the Po sh Payer organizations called lor "an by Agricultural Lag Forecast PASADENA, Calif. i.f-A Cali fornia Institute of Technology sci entist foresees "a very hungry world in 100 years" unless agri cultural knowledge in the United Stales is spread to other countries and oilier steps are taken.

Stassen said Friday after talking with President Eisenhower that he is "continuing for now" as Eisen hower's special disarmament ad viser. Stassen said, however, he still is considering running for gover nor of Pennsylvania. He said he must soon mnko decision on whether to quit his present job and seek the governorship. 1 did not submit my resimia- tinn " L l-tJ ... . . , iotu iii-wsiuen. i was not asked for it. The 50year-old Stassen. rpnnrl. edly on his way out as U.S. dis armament negotiator, met with Eisenhower about 45 minutes. He lelt the' White House bv n sidi door and ran into a crowd of newsmen, photographers, news reel and television cameramen. In reply to a flurry of ques tions, he said he would meet again with Eisenhower "at the President's request." Stassen's talk of seeking the Re publican nomination has been greeted by Pennsylvania GOP leaders with a lack of enthusiasm. Stassen has been feudini; back- stage with Secretary of Siate Dulles over the kind of disarma ment proposals to be offered the Russians in any new talks. He also is known to have rriiiei-nwl Lunes attitude toward nesniia- plan for establishing a central European zone from which nu clear arms would be barred. A Washington dispatch to the newspaper added that the depart ment has advised U.S. embassies in the leading capitals of Euronp of the chief objections the admin istration has to the proposal. The proposal was made bv Po lish Foreign Minister Adani lia- packi. The Times story said in part: The U.S. attitude was cabled in a guidance statement for use by U.S. diplomats dealing with other diplomats. An official rejection of me roiisn proposal never has been announced in Washington, although U.S. opposition to it has been indicated. During international discussion of the proposal, the view gained ground in Washington that the Polish move had been insnirpH hv the Soviet Union, which subse quently endorsed it. One of the main factors in U.S. opposition to the proposal is that Soviet forces in central Europe outnumber those of the West. State Department sources in Washington said this country, as has been indicated previously feels that the plan should hn studied by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and this country's views have been given end to an income tax rate struc ture which destroys incentives, retards development, encourages evasion, and acts as a drag on Sarah Leaves For Europe NEW YORK WWActress Sarah Churchill took off by plane last night to visit her father Sir Win ston Churchill, but not before creating a scene at Idlewild Airport.

AF Ponders New Weapons SEATTLE i.n - The Air Force was reported Friday to be con sidering development of a ramjet-powered manned bomber which could fly at 2,700 to 4,000 miles an hour. Lt. Gen. C. S. Irvine. Air Force deputy chief for materiel, referred to this possible weapon in an in terview with the Seattle Times. He also said half a dozen com panies now are studying manned glide rockets, another proposed strategic weapon of even greater speed. Both would be steps beyond the WSI10A, chemically fueled inter continental bomber for which North American Aviation Co. of Los Angeles won a development contract in competition with the Boeing Airplane Co. A ram-jet bomber would utilize a power plant that is most effi cient at high altitudes, lt is the type used in Ihe Boeing-built Bo marc guided missile. "This would be a relatively easy step from the Bomarc," Ir vine said in referring to a ram jet powered bomber which could fly at four to six times the speed of sound. Speaking of the manned glide rocket, a project which has also been mentioned previously bv the Air Force, Irvine said, .' f h i s would be a two or three-slaco ma. chine."
