Rockefeller announced Tuesday night he would call on FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to help mobilize an all out fight against the "great tragedy" of juvenile violence that is sweeping New York City.

Rockefeller said he1 hoped to lead an emergency campaign against tecn-aged criminals with the help of religious leaders, social workers and other prominent persons. After a hastily-called meeting with his top aides, Rockefeller said he would hold two meetings with experts from all walks of life to map a definite campaign The recent tragic occurrence of juvenile violence in the streets, and the fear, anxiety and heart break they have evoked are tragic to all of us," Rockefeller said. CALL FOR ACTION "And they call for action by all of us-officials of government, parents and private organizations concerned with the welfare of our community. "The problem of juvenile delin quency has no easy remedy. There is no quick or overnight solution It is compounded of the neglect of parents, broken homes, poor liv ing conditions, unhealthy back ground, economic deprivation mental disturbance and lack oJ religious training." WILL MEET WITH OFFICIALS Rockefeller said he would meet with state oltiaals and represen tatives of religious and social or ganizations on Thursday to map an agenda for a meeting Tuesday.

In addition to FBI Director Hoover, Rockefeller said he hoped the second meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 8, would include Francis Cardinal Spellman, arch bishop of New York; the head of the Protestant Council of New York, an official of the New York Board of Rabbis and Thurgood Marshall, attorney for the Nation al Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. He said he also would invite the mayor, the police commission' er, judges and the director of the labor office of Puerto Rico. Miss), chairman of the full com mittee, was the only member of the subcommittee to vote against th first two amendments. Voting for them were Sens.

Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn), subcommittee chairman; Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conm; Thomas C. Hen-nings Jr. (D-Mo); William Langcr (R-ND), and Everett M. Dirksen (R-Ill).

However, Kefauver said Langer had not approved the repeal amendment but only voted to submit it to the full committee for consideration. Sen. Dirksen' vot- for repeal of the two-term limit was a surprise. As Republican leader of Senate he had been expected to line up with the administration against repeal. However, Dirksen said that President Esenhowcr had never been very emphatic w-ith respect to the issue.

The two-term limit was written into the Constitution in 1951 as the 22nd Amendment. It had been approved in 1947 the Republican-controlled 80th Congress dur ing the Truman administration when the memory of the four terms won by Franklin D. Roosevelt was still fresh. HARRY BACKED Its repeal has been advocated by former President Truman, but the Eisenhower administration has taken the position that it has not yet been tested enough. Eisen hower said last January he did not believe adoption of the amendment was a particularly wise de cision.

But he suggested in May that it be laid on the shelf for a' while to see how it works. The antipoll tax amendment was introduced Aug. 6 by Sen. Spessard L. Holland (D-F3a with 65 other senators as cosponsors Majority Leader Lyndon B.

John son (D-Tex), one of the sponsors, expressed hope for speedy action. with a.l 100 senators voting, it would require 67 votes, or two- thirds, to submit an amendment to the stages. Similarly, two thirds of the House members voting would be needed. Three-fourths of the 30 stalcs-35 would be needed to ratify.

Why not have the government take a poll of the majority of the Southern Negroes?" Moore said that such a po1! should be confined to Negroes because "our Northern Negro brothers do not live in the South and therefore do not understand wir Southern bicultural society." He urged the President "not to use force to integrate the schools and deny our race a major symbol of our progress all-Negro schools."
