Scranton Concerned With GOP Lack of Concern for Northeast HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton says he is "deeply concerned" with the tendency of some national Republican leaders to underestimate the importance of the urban Northeast in the 1964 presidential race.

Scranton told his weekly news conference Thursday he had injected himself as a possible son" candidate at the 1964 GOP convention to emphasize the importance of the Northeastern section of the nation, paricularly Pennsylvania and New York. He said some GOP leaders had written off the area as a lost cause and planned to place campaign emphasis on the South and West. "If this was continued, in the election of 1964 Pennsylvania would not be given the due attention it. should have," the governor said. Asked if he would accept the presidential nomination if all other contenders were eliminated on the convention floor.

Scranton replied: a difficult question to answer, my best guess very, is no. Scranton reiterated that he would accept a favorite son role only if it were agreed to by the state delegation and if there were no clear cut favorite on the eve of convention. He said the favorite son status would not be used to promote "power politics" and urged the 64-member Pennsylvania GOP delegation to "vote as it wishes to But the governor added that if there were an even division of delegates nationwide. "it might be useful to have Pennsylvania together to use its 50 that we should have the due attention that is coming to a state like this Scranton said he saw no conflict in the possibility that he will be Pennsylvania's favorite candidate and chairman of the, state believe that delegation. I have made it very clear that I am not pushing my own candidacy, Scranton said he was aware there may be large-scale civil rights demonstrations in northeastern U.S.

cities this summer and that the best way to cope with them would be to make certain the state and local human relations commissions were operating efficiently. He noted it had been ed at the meeting of governors with President Kennedy earlier this week that some of the racial demonstrations were munist-inspired. But Scranton said the disorders "appear much deeper than that." In other news conference responses, the governor said: -The principle that able-bodied relief recipients should work on public projects was "a good thing." Legislation implementing the concept has the House and now is in the Senate. -He favored enactment of an amendment to the federal constitution permitting Bible reading and prayers in public schools on a voluntary basis. Scranton had suggested such a move when in Congress.

-He would campaign for Robert G. Bartlett. GOP candidate for the congressional seat held by the late Francis Walter. if Republican leaders of the 15th District requested him to do so. Mrs.

Funeral arrangements in charge of Campton Funeral Directors ap- House Committee Approves Record Defense Spending WASHINGTON (UPD) The House Appropriations Committee approved President Kennedy's record defense spending plans today almost intact. The committee said that if war could be deterred by strength, the power this country had would deter it. The committee voted $47 billion to support in the year starting July Army, Navy and Air Force functions for which Ken.

nedy had asked $1.9 billion more. But much of the cut reflected bookkeeping transactions will not save any money. The rest of the cut was scattered through most major items, and was calculated to back up the committee's insistence on elimination of waste. No major functions were eliminated or even heavily pared. In approving the bill the House group joined Defense Secretary Robert S.

McNamara in virtually writing off the controversial 2,000 mile-an-bour bomber, for which no additional funds were requested or provided by the committee. McNamara was told. however. that if the $155 million be had left from this year for this project proved insufficient to complete the three test planes beyond which he has been unwilling to go, he can get additional money by transfer from another project-Dynasoar-also on MeNamara's unfavored list. That would mean scrapping Dynasoar, envisioned as a winged space vehicle or orbiting plane, launched on a missile but capable of being piloted back to a landing.

Actually the committee's comments, in a report to the House, indicated that both Dynasoar and are fated to go down the drain. The committee's action, despite the bill's nominal cut of $1.9 billion below the budget request, also pretty well wrecked a Republican economy bloc's announced hopes to cut $10 to $15 billion from Kennedy's new appropriations requests, totaling $108 billion. 5 Muslims Beat Up Radio Emcee PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Five members of the "Muslim Improvement Association" stormed into a local radio station (WDAS) today and beat up the emcee of a controversial discussion proram. Shaykh Muhammad, a goateed, fez -wearing Negro, told police he and Joseph Rainey, also a Negro and emcee of "Listening Past," got into an argument over comments made by the moderator. Muhammad was ordered held in $2,500 bail on charges of aggravated assault and battery, breach of the peace, disorderly conduct and conspiracy.

The four others were in $1,500 bail each on charges of breach of the peace, disorderly conduct and conspiracy. Rainey, 61, a former magistrate, said he was punched and knocked down shortly, after he went off the air today. Police said Muhammad, who was a guest on Rainey's show last Tuesnight, resented statements made by Rainey at subsequent shows. Two other employes of the station broke up the melee and detective Frank Caffee said the Muslims were sitting quietly when they arrived. Muhammad said he was a member of a group known as the of Freedom' which subscribes to the Islam faith but differs from the Black Muslims in that he has "no hatred for the white Bail was set by Magistrate Louis Vignola at a hearing this morning.

Scranton faces tougher fight to expand state civil service than he experienced in enacting his tax program, according to a Republican lawmaker spearheading the merit system drive. Rep. Alan D.

Williams Jr. Bucks, estimated Thursday that 80 per cent of the House GOP bloc now opposes the bill which would double the number of state employes under legislative civil service. A co-sponsor of the embattled proposal, Williams predicted the number of opponents could slip to the 50 to 60 per cent mark by next week but added "then the pressure will have to start." Williams sketched the proportions of the administration battle for newsmen after Scranton had fired an opening salvo by soliciting support from about 10 representatives of business, labor and civic groups. Presses For Votes The governor told the assemblage to contact legisiators in efforts to swing sorely needed votes behind the bill. In a strongly worded statement, he lashed out at the dominant patronage sysem for filling state jobs as curb on state progress, Williams, who attended the conference with Rep.

Allan W. Hollman, R-Perry, said he thought work by organizations could reduce some of the opposition. But he made clear the real task would follow. "I think this will require more pressure than we had on the sales tax," he said. "There we had the support of the county chairmen, here the county chairmen are on the other side of he fence.

Williams also counted out any substantial support from the Democrats whom he said probably would fight the bill to "keep Scranton from making a Headed For Test The bill is headed for its first major test next Tuesday when it comes before the House State Government Committee for clearance. House GOP leaders already have said they expect several of a bevy of proposed amendments to be attached to the measure before it hits the floor. Under the bill, the number of employes protected by civil service would rise by about six existing agencies and one proposed department would be blanketed and a uniform system would replace what Scranton called a "hodge Scranton said the patronage system is too sensitive to shifts in party control. He contended it: undermines long term programs" such as education. public confidence in regulatory agencies" and leads to "favoritism and corruption." -Makes job recruitment "extremely to reduce the political process to a mere competition for government jobs."

Our efforts centered on the cooperation of store owners to keep these off the shelves out of view of children who may come into the stores. In most cases, the store owners have cooperated with our requests. Authorities in Coal Township feel that some syndicates have too far" in their publication of what would, under normal circumstances.

be classified as "art pictures." Chief Shuey said this has been an excuse that has been upheld down through the years. In the company of Patrolman Jesse Weaver, Chief Shuey yesterday visited a number of mag: azine stores in Coal Township and asked proprietors to remove all types of printed material containing "girlie" pictures, leud drawings or suggestive stories. Store owners were told that if material wasn't removed by the time of a followup check, magazines will be confiscated and destroyed by police. The owners will face arrest for failing to comply with a police order. Chief Shuey said the concern of a local minister was spurred by a report concerning two 1 16- year old girls who went into a Coal Township establishment and purchased some of the magazines.

They remained in the store, police said, paging through the books. In the presence of the store owner, one girl made a suggestive remark, police reported. After returning home, the girl informed her parents, who in turn called a minister. The particular case later was referred to the ministerial association, all members of which decided that police action was a necessity to rid the community of the suggestive type books. Meanwhile, the one minister conducted an investigation of his own and went to a bookstore where a quantity of magazines was on display.

The minister told the proprietor to remove the books from the racks and have them destroyed, pointing out the influence they had on one of his congregation members.

Township police differed with the opinions pointing out that books confiscated became immoral material in the hands of children. The magazines in question, police said, include full page color tographs of nude models, some in provocative poses. Stories and even caption inscriptions accompanying photographs are suggestive, the officer said. One of the books shown by Chief Shuey has a special section of questions and answers dealing with intimate problems.
