20 PAGES Rights Leaders Want lo Curb Overt Actions NEW YORK (AP) Civil rights leaders in some cities express reservations about a call by Negro leaders for an end to most, if not all, mass demonstrations in the nation until after election day. The national leaders were cri-j tical of what they called the, "states rights platform" adopt-' ed by the Republican convention that nominated Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwatcr for president. Their statement, issued Wednesday night after a "summit meeting," said: "We believe that racism has been injected into the campaign by the Goldwater forces." Urging a shift in tactics, they called for "a broad curtailment, if not total moratorium, of all mass marches, mass picketing and mass demonstrations until after election day" and more emphasis on getting more Negroes registered to vote. Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, took pains to make it clear that the "summit" state- meat should not be interpreted as an endorsement of President Johnson's candidacy.

He also said in answer to a question that the action had not been taken in order to reduce the so-calied "white backlash," described as the resentment of whites reacting to mass demonstrations by Negroes. A spot check by The Associated Press indicated that several civil rights leaders on the local level intend to go ahead with demonstrations when they feel they are required to get results. Jesse Gray, leader of the Harlem rent strikes, said: "We'll continue to have demonstrations in Harlem in spite of what Wilkins says." Gray's Community Council on Housing is under court injunction forbidding further demonstrations.

Senate supporters of the ad Senate Votes $46 Billion for Defense Dept. WASHINGTON A The Senate has heeded Sen.

Richard B. Russell's warning that "we can't afford to be second best 1 and voted unanimously to spend more than $46 billion for dc- euse. The 76-0 approval Wednesday light of the biggest money bill of the fiscal year $46,774,401,000 sends the appropriation to he House, which earlier voted some $15 million less. After the House acts, a committee of bo'h chambers will arrange a compromise figure. The Senate amount is $1.4 bit- lion less than Congress forked over to the Pentagon last year and more than $696 million below President Johnson's initial budget requests.

a The unanimous vote is misleading in a sense. Debate was angry at times and Russell, floor manager for the bill, had to fight off efforts to cut the amount and to protect government i shipyards. After nine hours thi'j veteran Georgia Democrat had; his way on every test. Russell claimed huge mulli- billion-dollar outlays for manpower, missiles, submarines and other expensive military hardware must continue for the, foreseable future. Most of the dispute centered on efforts of Navy yard supporters to get a large share of nearly $2 billion in the bill to con-i struct, repair and convert the Navy's fleet of existing and new ships.

As part of an economy effort, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara has shut down large numbers of military bases and establishments. Now he is looking over government owned and operated ship yards. Sen. Jacob K.

Javits, to tack on the bill a rider Lo prevent a shutdown of any yards unless appropriate congressional committees got advance notice and agreed. Opponents argued this was an attempt at a congressional veto on executive decisions. It wi shouted down on a voice vote. Senate Move to Aid Navy Yards (Special to The Herald) Sen. Tom Mclntyrc, says the Congress is abdicating its authority by taking no part in decisions which could result in the closing of some of the nation's naval shipyards.

Sen. Mclnlyrr made this statement on the Senate floor last night in support of an amendment he cosponsored which would have directed the secretary of defense to provide Senate and House Armed Services Committees detailed reports on any recommended navy yard closings, and would have blocked the use of Defense Depl. funds to close any shipyard without approval of the committees. He also gave strong support to two other amendments aimed at strengthening the position of the naval shipyards and attempting to insure that they receive a fair share of new construction and repair work.

Similar move earlier this year by the Hous supporters were abandoned I ho face of certain defeat by the Ways and Moans Committee.

Any such provisions are sure lo meet stiff opposition and might block final passage of the bill this year, especially since Congress is driving to adjourn before the Democratic National Convention begins Aug. 24. As passed by the House, the bill would increase Social Security payments about $925 million annually by setting a new scale of $42 to $133.40 for a single worker, up lo $281.20 for a family with dependent children. The maximums would go up in future years, as high as $300 for a family. The bill also would step up the Social Security tax paid by employers and employes, in part by increasing from $4,800 lo $5,400 the wage base on which they are levied.

The increase would amount to $31.20 each next year. bills would also add about 600,000 aged persons to the beneficiary rolls by relaxing coverage requirements for the benefit of persons, mostly wi dows, 72 and older.

Robbins Beaten In Golf Play; Tibbetts Wins FALMOUTH (AP) Medal- ist Jim Grant of Wethers- ield, and defending champion Warren Tibbetts of Manchester, N.H., scored first victories today as match play started in the New Eng- and amateur golf tournament. Grant, continuing the sub-par golf that he played throughout he qualifying rounds, coasted to a 7 and 5 victory over Jack Reilly of Fitchburg, Mass. He was three under par for the 13 holes played on the par 71 Portland Country Club course. Tibbetts, who qualified automatically, had more of a struggle before edging Dave Harrigan of Stoneham, 2 and 1. All even at the turn, the defending champion went two up when his opponent pitched nk the woods on both the llth ant 13th, then put on the clincher with a 10-foot birdie putt on th loth.

That put Tibbetts three uj with three holes to go. Allhouf Harrigan slaved off the fini: by sinking an 8-footer for a birdie on the 16th, tho match ended when both players parred the 17th. John I.evinson HI of whose father has woi ROBUINS turn to thret) U.S. SEN. CLAIR ENGLE Sen.

Sen. Mclntyre told his colleagues that. Congress is empowered under the Constitution to create military installations such as navai shipyards and also to determine policy concerning national defense. "In view of this mandate," he said, "I find it very surprising that Congress finds itself in a position now where it has no voice in the fate of yards it has created, financed and regulated." "Now," the senator said, "we find ourselves watching a man and his study decide whether ie yards should be closed and aeir mission forgotten. We have ropped out of the game at the rucial point.

Mclntyre, would have assured that 50 per cent of new ship construction be done at public shipyards. He said this amendment would re-affirm a 1934 law, which had the same provision. "It is disappointing that Congress should need to re-affirm this position, but it is a fact that we must," he said.

"For years, the 50-50 provision has been circumvented, bypassed to such an extent that a'mockery has been made of this act." He said that in fiscal 1964, 82 per cent of new construction was done in private shipyards, leaving only 18 per cent for the naval shipyards. The final amendment would have deleted from the law a provision guaranteeing that at least 35 per cent of all naval ship repair, overhaul and conversion work be done at privatt shipyards. He said this provision "stands as a memorial to the efforts of private lobbyists to cut away at our taxpayer-owned shipyards which are the mainstay of our national defense." LEE H. ROPER, D.D.S.

Herald reporter Stevt Taylor made an exttnsivl study of court records and interviewed men who are closest to the problem. The results of Taylor's survey will be published in two articles.) By STEVE'TAYLOR The average citizen, who rarely sees the inside of courtroom, perhaps envisions a court as a place where justice is handed down offenders pay fines or go to jail, the innocent go free and that's the end of the matter. Unhappily that's not always the case, at least trot in Rocklngham County, where an audit of Superior Court records for the past three and a half years shows that only a handful of criminal cases, fewer than one in 50, arc tried before 12 men, good and true. This generally covers the wide fields of thr. misdemeanors and actual criminal charges.

Mostly these cases arc disposed of hy the "pica" mechanism, wherein the defendant enters either a plea of guilty or nolo contenders, meaning that he, docs not choose to contest the charges. Cases customarily arrive in Superior Court via two routes appeals or indictments. The appeals arc all from convictions handed down by the county's 13 municipal courts, seven of which became district courts July 1. The indictments originate from action by Ruckingham County Superior Court grand juries after they have heard evidence presented by the county attorney or attorney general's department. Once appeals arrive from the municipal ami district courts and HIP indictments arc returned from the grand juries, prosecution (if the cases becomes the responsibility of the county attorney alone, unless he chooses to call for help from the attorney general.
