1m The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
Preparing for his inauguration
next week and wanting to avoid
possible conflict of interest, President-elect
Kennedy, although not
required by law to do so, re
cently disposed of all his stock
holdings and reinvested the-pro
ceeds in government bonds fed
eral, state and municipal.
This disclosure was made to
newsmen this morning by Pierre
Salinger, the President elect's
new secretary. Salinger added:
"The only holdings he has today
are bonds and real estate. His
direct real estate holdings con-1
cist of his homes in Washington
and Hyannis Port, Massachu
setts." Questioned by the newsmen
v ho pull no punches when a good
ttory is in the wind Salinger
went on to disclose that President-elect
Kennedy's TOTAL hold
ings now consist of such bonds,
plus the houses he owns in Wash
ington and Hyannis Port, and
three trust funds set up .for him
and his brothers and sisters by
their father, Joseph P. Kennedy.
He added:
"The President-elect's net in
come from these trusts set up
in 1026, 1936 and 1949 amounts
to about $100,000 annually, AF
TER taxes. The income BEFORE
taxes, reportedly, is about $500,
000 a year."
Even the President of the Unit
ed States, you see, feels the bite
of the tax collector.
The President is exempt from
the federal law dealing with con
flict of interest which is as
it should be. Some 20 centuries
ago. Caesar said: "Caesar's wife
ought to be above suspicion." The
lame principle holds in the case
of the President of the United
States.
If the time ever comes when
we feel we must pass a law re
quiring the President to divest
himself of all property that might
be enhanced in value by his de
cisions in matters of public pol
icy, we will be in a bad way.
This conflict of interest law
hits other federal officials in the
pocketbook. Under its provisions,
Secretary of Defense designate
Robert S. McNamara had to get
rid of his stock in the Ford Mo
tor Company, of which he was
present.. He said the transac
tion would represent a potential
personal loss to him of between
two million and three million dol
lars over a period of years.
One of his predecessors as sec
retary of defense, Charles S. Wil
son, was caught in the same pre
dicament. In order to serve his
country in a post involving heavy
responsibility and paying a sal
ary of $25,000 a year, he had to
dispose of his holdings in Gen
eral Motors at a heavy personal
sacrifice.
This is the problem:
The government of the United
Slates is the biggest business in
the world. To handlo it properly,
we need men who have carried
heavy responsibility, who know by
experience how to handle the
problems involved in BIGNESS.
Should we make it so COSTLY
for people of that type to serve
their country that they will come
to feel that they CAN'T AFFORD
IT?
That's a question that deserves
a lot of careful thought.
Tense Haiti
Holds Clergy
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (AP)
Unconfirmed reports for more
arrests of Catholic priests and a
scries of noise bombs added to
tension in Port au Prince today
as striking students prepared for
possible clashes when schools re
open Monday.
President Francois Duvalier's
regime, which expelled Roman
Catholic Bishop Remy Augustin
this week and earlier deported
Archbishop Francois Poirier for
allegedly aiding the strike, was
denounced as a police state in
student leaflets calling for demo
cratic elections.
Censorship under martial law
prevented Haitian newspapers
and radio from telling the pre
dominantly Catholic population in
this Negro republic of the Vati
can's excommunication of those
responsible for the expulsions.
Haitians learned of it from the
radio of the neighboring Domini
can Republic.
The papal nuncio called a meet
ing of five bishops from the prov
inces where unconfirmed reports
said more priests have been ar
rested. University students have been
en strike since November in pro
test against the arrest of 20 stu
dents accused of distributing
Communist propaganda. Duvalier
freed those arrested last month
Noise bombs at three schools
Wis week emphasized the de
mand.

23 Exposed
In Idaho
Atom Blast
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP)
The Atomic Energy Commission
says 23 men were exposed to ra
diation after last week's explosion
of a nuclear reactor, but checks
show no clinical symptoms in any
of them.
The blast on the AEC eastern
Idaho testing station Jan. 3 killed
three young servicemen. The
commission said in Thursday's re
port that one victim lived morel
than two hours after the explosion.
The 23 men were exposed to ra
diation while working in relay
teams to recover the bodies and
assess the damage inside the cyl
indrical reactor building. They
wore protective clothing.
The blast killed Army Spec. 5
John A. Byrnes, 27; Spec. 4 Rich'
ard L. McKinley, 22, and Navy
Electrician l.C. Richard C. Legg,
26.
They were getting the reactor
a prototype of a mobile heat and
power unit for the armed forces-
ready to start up after a 10-day
shutdown. " -- ' v
The AEC didn't say which man
lived for a time after the blast.
Show Tower
For Massive
New Rocket
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
The tower from which missile-
men will service the Saturn super
space rocket is a massive, com
plex structure reaching 310 feet
into the sky.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration showed itj
off to newsmen for the first time
Thursday, and they were im
pressed.
The 28-story steel tower domi
nates the Cape Canaveral skyline,
dwarfing the 115-foot tall Atlas
and Titan service gantries and the
shorter structures for the Thor,
Jupiter, Polaris, Redstone and
Minuteman
The Saturn rocket, which will
begin testing here next fall, is the
United Stales' biggest hope in the
next few years for placing multi-
ton payloads into orbit, landing
instrument packages on the moon,
Mars and Venus, and hurling
manned spaceships around the
moon and returning them to
earth.
The Saturn tower was built by
Kaiser Steel Co., for the Army
Corps of Engineers. It cost $4
million.
It is completely self-supporting
unit with its own power station,
heating, air conditioning and light
ing facilities, three elevators and
five enclosed moveable platforms
from which the launch crew can
service the 230-foot rocket at dif
ferent levels Each platform is the
size of an average three-room
house.

Ferry boats across the Congo
River at Brazzaville, in the for
mcr French Congo, were packed
throughout the day with Europe
ans and Congolese.
The flurry was symptomatic of
the uneasiness in this capital
whenever Lumumba is men
tioned.
There was no official confirma
tion that Lumumba actually is
free. Telephone lines to Thysville
where Camp Hardy is situated
were cut.
Lumumba was locked up In
Camp Hardy Dec. 2. He was re
captured during an abortive at
tempt to reach his loyal strong'
hold at Stanleyville.
While the pro-Communist ex.
premier has been brooding in jail
his followers have taken control
of Oriental and Kivu provinces
and thrust into North Katanga.
The Lumumba rebels now control
over a third of the Congo and
have strong support in other
areas.
Lumumba took over as the Con
go's first premier June 30 when
the Belgians granted the colony
independence. In his inaugural
speech he accused the Belgians of
inflicting sufferings on the Congo
lese people for 80 years.
Within a few days, the Coneo
lese army mutinied against con
tinued command by Belgian offi
cers. Lumumba s opponents
cnarge he incited the army to
rise. The mutiny created panic
among the Belgians remaining in
the Congo and they quit the coun
try in droves.

GOP Senator Critical Of
Selection For Attorney
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate
Republican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen said today the selection
of Robert F. Kennedy to be attor
ney general marks a departure
from the idea of putting a sea
soned lawyer in the office.
"I think the country has always
felt that the attorney general
should be a legal scholar and
learned in the law," the Illinois
senator said at a Judiciary Com
mittee hearing on the appoint
ment.
President-Elect's s$ets
Estimated At $10 Million
PALM BEACH. Flai (AP) -
President-elect John F. Kennedy
appears to have investment assets
valued at perhaps up to $10 mil
lion.
This was indicated Thursday
night when it was disclosed that
Kennedy has converted all of his
investments over which he had
control into government bonds-
federal, state and municipal.
Pierre Salinger, his press sec
retary, to.d newsmen in response
to questions that the president
elect's total holdings now consist
of such bonds, plus the houses he
owns in Washington and at Hyan
nis Port, Mass., and three trust
funds set up for him and ' his
brothers and sisters by their fa
ther, Joseph P. Kennedy.
Salinger said the president
elect's income from these trusts
-set up in 1926, 1936 and 1949
amounts to about $100,000 annual
ly, after taxes. The income before
taxes reportedly is about $500,000
a year.

VIENTIANE. Laos (AP) - The
Laotian government's four newly
acquired planes from the United
States pounded the pro-Commu
nist rebels' artillery positions TO
miles north of Vientiane today for
the third straight day.
No reports were available so
far on the damage but military
experts said the Laotian pilots-
trained in France and Thailand
probably would need more of fly
ing to sharpen their aim.
So far there was no sign of air
retaliation from the Soviet Union,
Communist China or North Vict
Nam, which support the Pathet
Lao rebels. But Western intelli
gence sources reported an old
model Soviet spotter plane, was
observed directing rebel artillery
fire on Monday, the day before
the United States delivered the
four propeller-driven trainer
planes the government forces arc
using.
Use of the planes for attack
missions raised fears among Brit-
isUand..Erench diplomats ..here
that the Soviets or Red Chinese
would supply combat planes for
use against the anti-Communist
forces. i
The planes were reported at
tacking in the area of the Nam
Lie River, 70 miles north of Vien
tiane, where two companies of
government forces were reported
engaged with a rebel force of
about the same size.
Army sources said Premier

front in an effort to link up with
government units pushing down
from Luang Prabang, the royal
capital.
