Senate Committee
More $ For Viet N
WASHINGTON' (AP) The
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee gave unanimous ap
proval yesterday to a $4.8 bil
lion ruthorizution for mount
ing Viet Nam war coats.
At the same time, Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell, D-Ga., Chair
man, said he would vigorously
oppose any effort to attach
any policy provisions to the
legislation when it reaches the
Senate floor.
Russell said the Senate com
mittee tightened up somewhat
broad powers which Secre
te ry of Defense Robert S. Mc
Namara had asked to shift
millioas of dollars of military
money from one purpose to
another.
Russell said Democratic
leader Mike Mansfield of
Montana told him the Viet
Nam funds authorization will
become the pending business
of the Senate Thursday if
as expected the second ef
fort to limit debate in the un
ion shop filibuster fails.
That would permit Senate
action Wednesday, Feb. 16,
when Congress returns from
a holiday rcess for Lincoln
Birthday speeches.
Russell said he expects Sen
ate passage because this in
volves funds to "support our
fighting men, some of whom
are in Viet Nam against their
wishes."
Although one Senator on the
Committee sharply question
ed U. S. policies in Viet Nam,
Chairman Russell said all 17
were recorded for approval of
the measure.
The authorization covers
part of the $?.2.8 billion of
emergency Viet Nam funds
asked by the President. Both
the Senate and House must
approve the authorization be
fore the actual funds are ap
proved in a separate money
bill later.
Russell said the authoriza
tion for $4,807,750,000 (B), in
cluded $3.4 billion for aircraft,
helicopters, missiles and sim
ilar military hardware; $1.2

Morse Blocks Committee
OK Of Vaughn Nomination
WASHINGTON (AP) A
Senate critic of U. S.-Latin
American policy held up yes
terday action on the nomina
t'on of Assistant Secretary of
State Jack Hood Vaughn to be
director of the Peace Corps.
As Assistant Secretary for
Inter - American Affairs,
Vaugh was one of the top of
ficials involved when President
Johnson decided to rush
troops to the bloody revolt in
the Dominican Republic last
year.
Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.,
told Vaughn at yesterday's
hearing by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that his
record "disqualifies you, and
I'll vote against your nomina
tion." The slender 45-year-old
Vaughn disputed Morse's ar
gument that "when the chips
of democracy are down we
walk away."
But Morse said There is no
question that you, Mann and
Rusk have given bad advice to
our President."
In addition to Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, Morse was re
ferring to Assistant Secretary
of State Thomas C. Mann.
Mann has been a special tar
get of critics of the Dominican
Intervention who charge him
with carrying out "a hard line"
in Latin America.

ed" apparently led to some
coolness between him and
Johnson.
Vaughn had his supporters
as well as detractors at yes
terday's session. Sen. Bourke
Hickenlooper, R-Iowa, told
Vaughn, "I think you have
rendered a great service to
Latin America ... I do have
a feeling your record has been
excellent."
Another critic of Latin Amer
ican policy, Sen. Joseph S.
Clark, D-Pa., praised Vaughn's
record as a Peace Corps of
ficial and Ambassador to Pan
ama. "But," he added, "you
can't hit every ball over the
fense ... I think in your pres
ent position you have been
more sinned against than sin
ning." One big question, said Clark,
is "when are we going to get
those generals out of the Do
minican Republic? . . . You're
familiar with the phrase hasta
manana (until tomorrow). It's
taking a long time isn't it?"
"I am also familiar with the
phrase "adios muchachos"
(so long, boys) Vaughn re
plied. He predicted the "generals"
military figures from both
sides of the revolution ordered
out of the country would leave
soon.

ers and a girl were killed and
unofficial estimated of the
wounded ranged to 43.
The incident touched off a

town area that quieted at noon
and started up again in the
afternoon. The rioters set fire
to a sation wagon belonging
to the U. S. representative
here. The Dominican driver
was reported beaten up.
One of the slain brothers
was identified as Antonio San
tos Mendes. The slam girl was
Altagracia Amelia Richart
Calventi. The National Press
Office listed four other girls
wounded.
Most of the estimated 600
demonstrators were high
school and grammar school
boys and girls. They had call
ed the demonstration ostensi
bly to demand that the gov
ernment restore financial as
sistance to the University of
Santo Domingo. But the dem
onstration turned into an anti
U. S. protest. One large plac
ard said, "Go Home, Yank
ees." Capt. German Perez Mont
as, in charge of the police de
tail, said students provoked
the shooting by throwing rocks
at police. The shooting broke
out as one group of youths un
furled an American flag, and
began to burn it.
Montas claimed some of the
students were armed and a
military spokesman at the na
tional palace said authorities
had been tipped before the
demonstration that some of the
students were armed. One of
the wounded was a police of
ficer who was shot in the leg.
The spokesman said the Inter-American
police force was
alerted ahead of the demon
stration but took no part in the
action except to patrol streets
around the palace after stu
dents dispersed.
Immediately after the shoot
ing, youth gangs ranged the
downtown street, shouting
"Strike, strike," overturning
garbage cans and trying to
throw up street barricades.
One auto, reportedly that of a
diplomat, was set afire.
Humphrey's plane left Hon
olulu International Airport at
8:11 a.m. (1:11 p.m. EST),
about six hours after his ar
rival from Los Angeles where
he met hurriedly with John
son. Responding to Humphrey's
remarks, Thieu expressed the
gratitude of his country to
American families who have
servicemen fighting in Viet
Nam. He pledged his coun
try's willingness "to pay the
price to bring peace and de
mocracy to Viet Nam."
Humphrey's mission will be
to begin implementation of a
political, social and economic
program outlined Tuesday in
the Declaration of Honolulu.
"We are determined to im
plement the aims of the dec
laration," said the Vice Pres
ident, "and we shall take im
mediate and continuing action
as partners with the govern
ment and the people of South
Viet Nam to achieve these ob
jectives." Flanked by Ky and Thieu
at a rostrum, Humphrey told
a tiny airport crowd that John
son was "most pleased" with
the conference. He called the
Declaration of Honolulu "one
of the great documents of his
tory." At the same time. Humnh-
rey said, the United States
will continue "the special ef-

achieve peace in Viet Nam.

State's Oldest Man Dies
I
BRISTOL (AP) The nation's second oldest man, according
to federal records, was buried yesterday in Bristol with only
a handful of persons on hand to mourn him.
A light rain fell as Joe Simms, 118, was laid to rest.
The white-haired Negro died at a Bristol nursing home this
week from complications resulting from a two-week bout with
pneumonia.
According to Social Security Administration records, Simms
was the nation's second oldest centenarian. Records show that
only Charlie Smith, 124, of Polk City, Fla., has outlived him.
Simms, a former slave, spent his entire life in Sullivan
County, and had worked as a janitor for a combined 60 years
at Steed College in Johnson City, Tenn., andSullins College
in Bristol. He said he was born April 1, 1847, while his parents
were slaves on the farm of Isaac Devault near Bristol.
Sanf ord PO Under Inspection
SANFORD, N.C. AP A team of postal investigators moved
into Sanford yesterday to probe charges that a New Jersey
firm was not following specifications in building! a new Sanford
Post Office. !
The building permit was revoked by municipal officials
who charged Schur-Lee Realty Corp. of Hackensack, N. J., had
departed from the building specifications. j
The officials alleged the company was using cinder blocks
for the walls instead of concrete and had also used concrete
pillars instead of steel.
The company is also involved in a controversy at Shelby,
where its post office building permit was revoked.
Schur-Lee qualified Tuesday to do business in North Caro
lina when Secretary of State Thad Eure approved the com
pany's application for a charter. The application had been re
turned because of two deficiencies.

State Has Shelters For 31
RALEIGH AP North Carolina could provide public shel
ters for 31.5 per cent of the state's 4,556,000 residents in event
of a nuclear attack, a state Civil Defense official said yes
terday. James Denning, operations officer, said most of the
fallout shelters are in cities and would offer "acceptable pro
tection" against radiation from a nuclear explosion.
"From an operational standpoint, knowing what to do in
case of an attack, North Carolina is as well prepared as any
state in the nation," Denning told The Associated Press.
"We're not as well off as some Northern states in the
number of public shelters available because they have bigger
and more buildings in metropolitan areas," he said. "But
we're on a par with Southern states."
The big problem in event of a sudden enemy attack, Den
ning noted, would be the movement of residents to areas con
taining public shelters.
"That problem is prevalent in all states," he said. "All
we could do would be to try to save as many lives as possible."
Denning added, "Civil defense is actually a game you play
before the whistle starts. It's like a coach preparing his attack
for a game. Anything can happen after the whistle blows, but
you hope for the best. Let's put it this way Civil Defense is
like insurance. It's good to have but you hope you never have
to use it."
Denning released figures
shelters through the state. Of these, 1,111 are stocked with
water and other provisions for use in an emergency,
Of the total shelters, Mecklenburg County as 144, Wake 146,
Forsyth 136, Guilford 131, Cumberland 107 and Buncombe 104.

N. Y. Supreme
Transit Settlement Raises
NEW YORK (AP) A judge
ruled yesterday th?t state law
requires city subway and bus
workers to wait three years to
collect pay raises they won af
ter a 12-day strike last month.
Supreme Court Justice Irving
H. Saypol called the sediment
that ended the crippling strike
"ransom extorted from eight
million citizens."
He said it was clear that the
state law forbidding strikes by
public employes requires that
reinstated strikers must be re
fused a pay raise for three
years.
Justice Saypol said it was
"craven servility" to grant pay
increases to illegal strikers,
and "if responsible officials
cannot stand up in firm re
sistance, the court will."
Leaders of the AFL-CIO
Transport Workers Union
promptly issued a statement
saying they would insist that
the Transmit Authority and the
mayor live up to the agree
ment. The auothority had no im
mediate comment. There is no
doubt Saypol's opinion will be
appealed. The Supreme Court
in New York is a trial court.
The 34,400 workers were
granted across-the-board in
creases of 4 per cent retro
active to Jan. 1, another 4 per
cent next Jan. 1, and another
7 per cent on July 1, 1967. The
total cost was estimated vari
ously at $52 to $70 million
over two years.
None of the increase has yet
been paid, since the union
members ratified the contract
only last weekend.
President Johnson de
nounced the settlement as in
flationary, but it was defend
ed by Ptepublican Mayor John
V. Lindsay.
The strike, the first city-side
transit shutdown in the city's
history, was called a few hours
after Lindsay took office on
Jan. 1. Business losses were
estimated in the hundreds of
millions of dollars.
The Transit Authority in
voked the state Condon-Wad-lin
Act, which forbids strikes
by public employes, to obtain
an injunction against the
strike.
