The proposal being revived would establish a permanent new program for controlling wheat, beginning in 1964.

Under the new program, wheat surplus would be marketed 'by, growers at a lower price for livestock feed.

The four companies were ready to carry their arguments for refusing to furnish the data to the 15-member Senate Judiciary Committee at a public hearing. The hearing was scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m., EDT. The committee, in effect, will be sitting as a court of appeals from a decision of the antitrust r-n, it's mnauvei u-iciut. Refuse Compliance Last week Kefauver's unit recommended contempt citations when the companies declined to obey subpoenas. Five Democrats voted for contempt citations and two Republicans opposed them.

The recommendation for con tempt action embraced not only the refusal to supply data but also the refusal of nine company executives to appear before the antitrust subcommittee. The steelmakers said that to furnish production costs and data about pricing practices would help competitors at home and abroad. Bethlehem Steel the biggest of the four, said the only way to test the legality of the Kefauv-er subpoenas was to refuse compliance. Release By GAO The data called for in the subpoenas was to have been turned over to General Accounting Office for release in groups of three companies. Thus, according to Ke-fauver, data for individual firms would be concealed from competitors.

National Steel Corp. contended, however, that expert analysis (Continued on Page Eight) dent Kennedy summoned the nation today to a full-speed drive for the moon and first place in space over Russia so that space will be an area of peace and never "a terrifying theater of war." "For the eyes of the world and its restless millions now look up and out to space, to the moon and the planets beyond," Kennedy said. "And we have vowed that they shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of peace. We have vowed that they shall not see space filled with weapons" of mass destruction, but with instructions of knowledge and understanding." Kennedy's statements, some of the most significant he has made on this topic, were in a speech prepared for delivery here at the Rice University Stadium as a climactic midway point in the President's two-day tour of major space installations. Without saying so, Kennedy ap peared to be aiming some barbs at former President Dwight D.

Eisenhower, who criticized the administration's efforts to beat Russia to the moon in this decade and called the program "fantastically expensive." Defends Costs Kennedy acknowledged the hea vy cost rising to 50 cents per week for every American. The President said it "is not surprising that some would have us sit where we are a little longer just as there were those who resisted the horseless carriage and Columbus." "We choose to go to the moon in this decade, not because that will be easy, but because it will be hard. Because that challenge is one we are willing to one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win," Kennedy declared. He said it was for those reasons that he regarded his decision "last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions I expect to make in the office of president." Must Be First Kennedy said this nation's vews to keep the moon and planets free and to bar destructive weapons from space "can only be fulfilled (Continued on Page Eight) Houston Meeting To Be Held Sept. 15 A public hearing will be held concerning the zoning of Houston Borough on Saturday, Sept.

It was accepted and the reason for leaving the Authority Boards was due to his moving from the district. The dispute over the boundary lines in the Nottingham Township properties (that are included in the North Strabane Township District too) was pointed out that in the resurveying of territory by the County surveyors in the new reassessment, an error had occurred on the map. The solicitor, Michael Kusturiss, was authorized to take measures to keep the land within the township. All the directors were extended an invitation to attend the Pennsylvania State School Directors Association annual conference scheduled for Oct. 25-27 at Pittsburgh.

Maggi voted against the blanket motion due to the inclusion of a cost for record ing the deed for the Wylandville property that was included and that he was not in favor of the project. Bills to the Jointure were a matter that was given more thought and the final outcome was a motion to pay North Strabane Township's obligation in the amount of $78,234.65. A vote of confidence was given Dr.

Curry and will be entered on the Joint Board meeting agenda. A report of committees was given and accepted. The Board made a request that the combined members submit a clear picture of their status on the Wylandville School building project and that it is to come from the entire group not one individual representative or the solicitor's prepared statement.

Draft Board Closed Local Draft Boards 164 and 165, 335 Jefferson Washington, will be closed all day Tuesday, Sept. 18. Republican farm leaders vowed an all-out fight to kill the revived provision on the House floor. It also appeared that the final version of the second-try farm bill would offer inducements to wheat farmers to hold down production of 1963 crop surpluses.

A special bonus payment of 13 cents a bushel would be set up for wheat harvested by farmers who planted no more than 80 per cent of their alloted acreage. They would also receive a payment equal to half of the gross income they could have expected from wheat production on the diverted acreage. Other congressional news: Schools: A House-Senate school aid conference committee returned to work today, hopeful for the first time in months of breaking the long deadlock over aid to college and universities. The hope was engendered by a proposal that would provide both loans and grants to colleges, and restrict grants to construction of libraries and science laboratories and classrooms. It was hoped this would meet objections against use of federally financed buildings for religious teaching.

Congress Clamors For Stiffer Action Report WASHINGTON (UPI) The Kennedy administration showed clearly today it has no intention of changing its Cuba policy despite Russian threats of nuclear war and congressional demands for stronger action. High officials were unmoved by the Soviet Union's latest propa ganda blast or by demands from some congressmen lor a naval blockade of the Soviet-bolstered island. The risk of Soviet retaliation against pro-Western nations on the Russian border which receive military aid appeared to be a ma jor argument against a blockade 'to halt shipment of Soviet bloc i war material and technicians to Cuba. In Guatemala City, Foreign Minister Jesus Unda Murrillo said Guatemala would press for action against the Castro regime under Article 8 of the Rio (hemi sphere defense) Treaty, which provides for sanctions ranging from economic blockade to military intervention. Unda said his government will urge other New World nations at the informal foreign ministers' conference in' New York next week to "apply the sanctions they consider most apprpriate."
