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."

Subcommittee Chairman Moss
'D-Califi indicated he might de
part from congressional practice
and seek approval of the bill in
open session.
"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

and ended in the summer of!lawye.r' who s.aid

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

In reply to a flurry of ques
tions, he said he would meet

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

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.

Washington said this country, as
has been indicated previously
feels that the plan should hn

SEATTLE i.n - The Air Force
was reported Friday to be con

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

A ram-jet bomber would utilize
a power plant that is most effi

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.
