Sending the bill to the House, the committee directed the department to reshuffle some of its spending plans, continuing a number of research stations and programs that had been scheduled for elimination or reduction. It told the department to balance the cost by cutting down on Work for the Agency for International Development's The committee included $3 miiion for research on tobacco and insecticides, directing that it begin immediately. Its report said the $8-billion tobacco industry is deeply affected by findings linking smoking with cancer and other diseases and it is vital "to determine the properties of tobacco may affect the health of smokers and to develop means to eliminate 1 any harmful substances found." Publicity about pesticides, which the report said was "not always based on complete and objective information" and that sometimes presents "a completely one-sided point of view" has needlessly frightened consumers and damaged the interests of farmers and manufacturers, the committee said.

(AP)-President Johnson got a massive public reception today in the streets of Atlanta after making a forceful appeal for "justice among the races." Johnson's 8-mile motorcade through this city in the Deep South drew cheering crowds estimated by police at more than 500,000. The President frequently stopped his car after leaving a closed car to ride a convertible.

He stood on the trunk and spoke to the crowds through megaphone. Streets were jammed with people. They crowded about the President's car when he stopped to comment on a sign that said, that gave "We're the school $100 to the camel reference to famous LBJ Visits Tenant Farmer By PHIL CORNER Associated Press Writer ROCKY MOUNT, N.C.

The President flew in by helicopter near the tenant farm home of William -David who supports a wife, mother-in law, and seven children on an estimated net income.

Roosevelt occupied 26 years ago in a visit to Gainesville after it was rebuilt from the ruin of a tornado. "We need the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt," Johnson said. "Today--with Franklin Roosevelt's son by my side--I have come to Gainesville to say that his work and ours is not finished," he said.

He referred to Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. Roosevelt, he said, was the champion of the poor and of the aged, the forgotten farmer and neglected worker. pledged to carry forward his war on poverty and his push for equal rights for all citizens. "Full participation in our soci- ligion or region," he said.

Johnson made a dramatic ap peal for the civil rights cause in an address at a breakfast meeting in Atlanta with members of the Georgia Legislature. His references to what he called the "many troubles" of the South were certain to be regarded as unusually significant. Winding up a six-state toui; of poverty-packed Appalachia, the President suggested that in searching for racial justice, Georgia and the South "have a sure and faithful guide--the Constitution of the United States." He declared: "Because the Constitution requires it--and because justice demands it--we must protect the constitutional rights of all of our people.

Truman got a thunderous welcome back to the Senate on his 80th birthday today and was so overcome with emotion he could not make a speech.

The former president helped make history, however, by the few remarks he did make. He became the first official session in the chamber, "I'm a little overcome," he said, his voice choking, "this is one of the greatest things that has happened to me in my whole life." But he said, because of his emotion, he couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to make a speech. he said, -the -rule adopted last October, sponsored by Sen.

All 44 persons turbo-prop airline aboard the were killed. A quarter-mile of metal fragments, a garbled tape recording, the gun and bits of the victims' bodies were all the evidence that Civil Aeronautics Board investigators had to work with. The plane, a morning from Reno, went radio but was lost in a screech of static and electronic squeals.

The Federal Aviation Agency had a tape recording of it that investigators hoped would provide some clue. The FBI took charge of a cocked and loaded 38-caliber revolver.

The prediction was one item in an impromptu news conference that interrupted his traditional before breakfast walk-and cut it short--right in the middle of Farragut Square only three blocks from the White House.

Johnson said that "racial problems have deep roots in Southern soil" However, he emphasized his view that such problems are not peculiar to any single section, saying: "They also trouble the passions of men on the shores of Maryland, in the slums of Philadelphia and in the streets of New York." Actually, he took a hopeful view of the tribulations of the South, with these words: "We may well find racial peace in much of the South before the end of racial strife in the cities of the North." Johnson also appealed for rejection of extremism.

Conjuring memories of the Civil War, he said: Heed not those who come waving the tattered and discredited banners of the past--who seek to stir old hostilities and kindle old hatreds--who preach battle between neighbors and bitterness between states. That is the way back toward the anguish from which we came." The President, covering con siderable ground in 2,400 wordsj even made indirect reference to his own unannounced but obvious plans to seek election to a four-year term in November. Declaring that "we are today one nation, one people, one America," Johnson said: "I would not be looking forward to were this not true, looking forward to November, And I am In his swift passage Thursday through Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee and North also made clear his zest for his job and his hope of it.

A ATTRACTIVE COMPUTER Wanted Man Nabbed After Chase DETROIT (AP) A man po- ice said was wanted for ques- ioning in the slayings of two Virginia policemen was arrested today after a car chase in which his car collided with another, killing the driver. Sgt. Robert Trower of subur- )an Wayne police said the captured fugitive, badly hurt in the crash, was identified as Bruce Walter i address unknown. Leikett was taken to Wayne i County General Hospital. Police had yet to talk to him.

Trower said Leikett was so badly injured that "he was in no condition to talk." Two guns and handcuffs taken from two slain Fredericksburg, policemen were found in Leikett's car, Trower said.
