A Senate judiciary subcommittee Monday unanimously approved a bill designed to curtail the government's power to withhold information from the public. It would eliminate "in the public interest," "for good causes" and other reasons used for years to keep documents, reports and activities from the press. A much more restrictive formula would be substituted. Largely the right of secrecy would be limited to matters involving the national security, foreign policy, and a few situations found to justify exemp- tion. Mere Excuses The subcommittee, headed by Senator Edward Long Mo.) said existing reasons for withholding information were being defined so broadly as to make them excuses for suppressing information to which the public and the press were obviously entitled.

In some instances, the panel's report stated, the legal exemptions from a law designed to implement a policy of disclosure were being employed to cover up embarrasing mistakes, irregularities or other actions lacking the right of secrecy. The amending legislation, sent to the parent Judiciary Committee, is aimed at Section 3 of the Administrative Procedure Act, of 1946, where the loopholes were found. Sees Opposition "We should not kid ourselves," Long observed, "there is intense opposition to the bill from virtually every government agency in Washington. It will be an uphill fight." The bill is co-sponsored by 15. Democrats and five Republicans.

The panel said some reports and documents not related to national security or foreign policy deserved secrecy. One of the principal items cited was reports of the Bureau of Federal Investigation. It has been charged that FBI reports on a witness against Robert (Bobby) Baker had been released through high administration sources. Proper Secrecy Other matters for which ex- Insurance for Rail Switchmen emption from disclosure was found justified included investigative reports from other agen- to cies that involved individuals; internal personnel rules and practices, and "trade secrets" obtained confidentially from business concerns. The measure also would provide a specific court remedy for any wrongful withholding by agency personnel.

An aggrieved person or group could bring an action in the nearest district court. If the court upheld the claim to information, the agency involved would pay the costs to the complainant, including reasonable attorney's fees. at CHICAGO, ILL. (AP)-Signing of a health benefits and life insurance agreement covering the nation's railroad switchmen was announced Monday by Neil P. Speirs, president of the Switchmen's Union of North America, (A.

F. I. 0.) The railroads will pay $23 a month for each employe covered by the union. Insurance companies will be asked to submit bids for the coverage by Mar. 9.

The switchmen were the first of the five operating brotherhoods to conclude such an agreement with the railroads. A similar plan has covered members of the non-operating unions for 10 years. Testimony From Oswald Backer WASHINGTON, D. C. (AP)The commission investigating the assassination of President John Kennedy said Monday it will hear testimony Wednesday from Mark Lane, attorney for the accused assassin's mother.

PANAMA HINTS SOFTER POLICY PANAMA CITY, PANAMA (AP) Panamanian President Roberto Chiari said Monday night he believes President Johnson has opened a way to a solution of the seven-week-old crisis over the Panama Canal. Chiari said Mr. Johnson's latest remarks were "not in conflict" with Panama's basic position on the canal dispute. Mr. Johnson told a news conference Saturday that the amended 1903 Panama Canal treaty, the core of contention between the two countries, probably would require revision this year or next.

He underlined, however, that the United States never would accept preconditions to a discussion of the treaty with Panama. Chiari said in a news statement Monday night that in spelling out his country's position he was not "establishing prior conditions to the contents of said treaty. "The important thing now, the cardinal matter, is to express a willingness to negotiate without prior conditions." Chiari's statement was viewed here as a softening of Panama's stated policy in the dispute. Up to now, the Chiari government had said flatly it would not resume relations with Washington unless the United States agreed to negotiate a new treaty. An official U.

S. source in Washington said Chiari's remarks sounded "encouraging" and would be looked into promptly.

(AP) Teamster President James Hoffa was accused of the government Monday of taking part in "one of the greatest attacks on the jury system ever known in America." His defense, terming Hoffa a clean-living family man, declared him the victim of "a foul, filthy plot" conceived in jail by a convicted felon-the government's chief witness at Hoffa's jury-tampering trial. The jury of eight men and four women listened to the closing arguments by James Neal, chief prosecutor from Washington, and James Haggerty, Hoffa's chief defense lawyer from Detroit. The jurors will begin sometime today to weight them along with five weeks of evidence. The trial, which began Jan.

20, entered its seventh week Monday. The jury has been locked up each night in a downtown Chattanooga hotel. Hoffa and five other men are on trial on charges of attempting to fix the 1962 Nashville jury that heard a conspiracy charge against Hoffa. That jury could not agree and a mistrial resulted. Both Neal and Haggerty devoted a major portion of their closing arguments before the jury to Edward Grady Partin, a Baton Rouge, Teamsters official who became the principal government witness at the trial.

In six days of testimony, Partin was the only government witness to link Hoffa with alleged efforts to fix the 1962 jury. THE DAY IN WASHINGTON, D. C. Menday, Mar. 2, 1964 President Witnessed swearing in of Nicholas Johnson, 29, a native of Iowa City, as Maritime administrator.
