Fulbriglit then said resignedly lie had no way of slopping any senator from talking. "I am not foolish enough to try," Fulbriglit said. Dillon testified that the amount oi secret information is 'being reduced gradually, and added he favors giving all possible information to the public. Sometimes, ho said, military aid requests are not made public be cause Congress may not approve mem tun ana the lorcign coun try involved might get the idea the United States is not "tip to its commitments. Church also challenged the value of most military aid to Latin America, saying "there are good reasons to question the popu larity of this program among the people of South America."

Mitchell that he would eat his hat if unemployment had not de clined below three million by October. The latest figure is 3,627,000. Dirksen, grinning, said he is confident Mitchell "will not have to chomp his chapeau. Dirksen said the drop in unemployment would slow down a Democratic drive to enact housing, depressed areas and airports leg islation which call for much larger outlays than Eisenhower proposed. Also, he said, the new figures cast doubt on the fate of a Senate- passed bill to set up a commission to investigate unemployment.

It is pending in the House. Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana, acting Senate Democratic leader, said in an interview the commission is still needed but perhaps should be set up on a more permanent basis that just 60 days, as the bill now provides. The GOP leaders also discussed administration plans for turning back to the states the financing of certain programs in exchange for relinquishing some federal tax revenues to the states. These programs include federal grants for vocational education, for construction of waste treatment and pollution control systems, and for school areas with financial burdens caused by the presence of federal installations.

The GOP leaders said the administration plans to send to Congress soon special messages on those matters.
