14" North Adams Transcript, Tuesday, June 6, 1967 Administration Officials Admit Swift Outbreak of War Surprising to Them WASHINGTON (AP) Top administration officials ac- k'i-vledged to congressional leaders that the swift outbreak of Arab-Israeli fighting caught them by surprise, informants si 1 It was one of the few reports thr.t filtered out of Capitol Hill briefing Monday by Secretary of Dean Rusk, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara Richard Helms, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The need for secrecy was emphasized at the briefing. "They knew of course how serious the situation was but I' -sy Ihoiv'hl they had more time to work on it," said one member of Congress who attended. But Congress members, who often mount the battlements vith an oratorical arsenal at the first flash of crisis, generally were following a silence-is-golden course.

"It's a very serious situation and popping off won't help it at nil." said one congressional leader. What comment there was centered on urgings for a cease-fire and U.N. action. But if congressional concern could not be measured in decibels it could be in numbers. When an invitation went out to senators to sit in at a late afternoon briefing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a State Department official more than half the Senate showed up.

Surprised committee Chairman J.W. Fulbright counted 56 senators jammed into the small hearing room a floor down from the Senate chambers. "It was more than we ever had in the room before," Fulbright told newsmen later. At the earlier briefing for congressional leaders Rusk had recalled a previous leak and twice cautioned the Crr'nrs members against whispering to newsmen what went on. Again, at the later session, the question of leaks was brought up by Senate Republican Leader Everett M.

Dirksen who reportedly rumbled: "I'm sick and tired of keeping my big trap shut and having everyone else leak. Is this a secret session or isn't it?" He was quickly assured by Fulbriglit and Lucius D. Battle, assistant secretary of slate for Near Eastern affairs who conducted the briefing, that it was secret. But afterward, some of the 5fi senators who heard Battle and questioned him. wondered why it was secret.

They said they heard little if anything in the briefing they hadn't already learned from news reports. "What we've read and heard was not much different from what we heard" in the briefing, said Sen. Edward W. Brooke, R- Mass. Fulbright said the meeting should have been open because "there wasn't a thing said that couldnU have been said in the open." Sen.

Hugh Scott, complained that many of the senators' questions were turned away with the comment, "The information on that must come from a higher source." Fulbright said, however, it was "quite clear" that the war in Vietnam was linked io the vents in the Middle East. He expressed belief the Arabs embarked on Iheir course feeling that the heavy drain on U.S. power in Asia had "neutralized our capacity to respond" in the Middle East. But, he added, "The State department doesn't take that view." Says Newspapers Give Best Local News Coverage NEW YORK (AP)-The president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors says radio and television are not up to newspapers for local news coverage. "Let no one ever be conned into believing that local coverage worth a damn has ever been made, followed, interpreted, explored, reported or investigated by radio and television," said Michael J.

Ogden, who is executive editor of the Providence Journal and Bulletin, in the ninth a a Pulitzer Memorial Lecture at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. Addressing the 1967 gradual' ing class on Monday. Ogden said that news they might consider routine is part of the making of a report in depth and a reflection on the whole city, state and world around us." At the luncheon addressed by CMen, Otis Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times, and Edgar B. Stern head of WDSU-TV in New Orleans, were given journalism awards by Columbia, It was the first presentation of the awards. The awards, silver were presented by Columbia President Grayson Kirk.

In his lecture Ogden said that "for good or bad, the newspaper still seems a living, brepHi- ing institution in a sense that none of the other speedier media could be." He said he rarely heard any emotional feeling expressed about television networks.

(AP) National Guardsmen, bolstered by light tanks, machine guns and nearly 80 law officers, trudged through hills of northern New Mexico today in search an armc'l of men who shot up a rural courthouse.

Claim Land The fugitives were identified by State Police Chief Joe Black as Reies Looez and his followers in a long-threatening militant move to press claims to old Spanish land grant tracts. Black said 30 to 40 men led by Tijerina were in the forested hills around Canjilon. They fled Monday after shooting their way into the Rio Arriba County courthouse at Tierra Amarilla, about 15 miles north of Canjilon. Two officers were shot and wounded, about 20 persons were held hostage for two hours and a d'Hricl barricaded himself in the court chambers. Chief Black and Maj.

Gen. John P. Jolly, commanding about 450 Guardsmen, set up headquarters in Canjilon and sent their men into the forest and small rural communities in search of the Tijerina force. Two M42 tanks were brought in. Episcopal Bishop's Call for Christians To Unite Under Pope Starts Controversy SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A controversy developed in Christendom today over Episcopal Bishop C.

Kilmer Myers' proposal that Anglicans and Protestants unite under the Roman papacy. Tile bishop says he was prompted to deliver the sermon at Grace Calhci'ral Sirchv by the threat of war in the Middle East--which is now a fact. Myers told newsmen later he had been thinking about it for three years, and the blockade of the Gulf of Aqaba dramatized for him mankind's "sinful devotion disunity." "The Middle East represents fragmentation basically caused by food problems," he said. "I do not believe that God will permit his church to lead mankind further into a tribalistic situation," he had said in his sermon lo the standing-room- only congregation of 1,500 on Nob Kill. A spokesman for the said reaction had brer, mixed.

Although telephone calls and letters have been across the country, id. only violent protests have come from laymen, predominantly women. "What the hell does your bishop think he's doing?" the spokesman quoted a woman who called him as saying. He said lay objections appeared to be based mnstly unon traditional fears of papal power and the doctrine of infallibility. On the pastoral level, the proposal by the successor to the controversial Bishop James Pike as leader of 103,000 Northern Episcopalians met a restrained response both ways.

"Do you want me to register a look of pleasant surprise?" asked Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph McGuecken Monday as he met reporters and photographers. He welcomed the Myers proposal, but said he knew many non-Catholics are suspicious of centralized papal power. However, he said, peace, poverty and racial justice "are all fields in which we can come together with .1 of love." He said he had forwarded a copy of sermon to Ihe Vatican, where sources said the proposal would receive consideration. In Great Britain, Church of England circles showed no disagreement with the Myers' proposal but it was pointed out that the Anglican position traditionally has been that its chief differences with Home are in what are regarded as human innovations such as worship of the Virgin Mary and Ihe principle of papal infallibility. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Pope cannot commit an error when speaking, by virtue of his office, on matters of faith and morals.

At Stanford University, Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, of the School of Religion, praisedd the Myers concept. It may "set certain ecclesiastical teeth on he said, but Myers was only expressing openly "the un- sinken yet half-acled impulse" of some Protestants lo "use Pone Paul or Po'ie John as support for our concerns." "We protestants can see in the papacy, as reconceived by Pone John, an ininnrtnnt symbol of a united Christian voice and 'viiness." Brown said. Tune in June 10 and 11 to the 10th Annual Suick Open, on NBC-TV. Buick Bargain Days are here.

Now, drive a Buick bargain. A half dozen tracks and more than 20 Jeeps were used in the search. About 40 persons, many of them children, were taken into in the Canjilon area Monday night and placed under guard at then- homes. Tijerina's Wife Jailed Tijerina's wife, was jailed in Santa Fe on a charge of cnrni- racy to commit a felony. Her 6- month-old daughter was taken to a foster home.

One of those arrested late Monday was identified as Bal'a- zar Apodaca who, Black said, was charged with kidnaping and assault in connection with the armed band's seizing of a deputy sheriff and a newsman as hostages when they left the courthouse. Deputy Pete Jaramillo and United Press International newsman Larry Galloway were taken out of Tierra Amarilla. Calloway broke loose. Jaramillo was released later. Critically wounded in the initial rush by Tijerina's group at the courthouse were a state policeman, Nick Sais, and jailer Elugio Salazar.

Sais was in an Albuquerque hospital and Salazar in a Santa Fe hospital. Shoot Way Sheriff Benny Naranjo, one of those held as hostages in the courthouse, said about 20 men led by Tijerina shot their way into the building shortly after seven other members of Tijerina's organization appeared before District Court Judge James Scarborough. Scarborough, who barricaded himself in his chambers during the shooting, said the seven men were free on bail when they left his courtroom after a preliminary appearance in connection with earlier activities of the Tijerina group. Tlie seven persons who appeared before the judge, and four other members of the Tijerina organization, including two of his brothers, were arrested last weekend as state police moved lo break up a so-railed showdown meeting at Coyote on the land dispute. Tijerina had been sought on criminal warrants involving the planned meeting and previous activities of his group, which attempted to draw officers into a fight last October at a Carson forest campground.

That at- tomnt failed. The most recent Tijerina activity involves claims to Gfm.OOn acres in Rio Arriha County, most of it forest land, under an old Spanish land grant.
