Complete on 19,829 out the finding that board members are opposed to general federal assistance to education, but approve of existing categorical aid programs such as the National Defense Education Act, aid to federally impacted areas, and support of school lunch and vocational education. This pattern is generally followed by the Baytown School District.

The final report shows that 56.1 per cent of the boardmen responding to the opinionnaire believe that Congress should not pass any general federal aid to education bill. This compares with 55.2 per cent voting against such legislation in the preliminary report. Another 30.6 per cent (the same total as in the preliminary results) believe that such federal aid should be passed. Board members who are undecided account for 7.5 per cent, and those not answering for 5.8 per cent. The nationwide poll which had been requested by delegates to NSBA's 1961 convention was conducted by means of 90,000 opinionnaires which were mailed out to school trustees in all sections of the nation.

A preliminary report based on 13,500 replies had been released at NSBA's 1962 convention in April. The final report, in addition to being based on a. larger number of returns, also additional cross tabulation of figures. Opposition to a general federal aid program was regardless of school district size, type ol ct, or relative wealth. Based on per pupil ex- itures, the only districts to favor general federal those spending less than $150 a year.

The iere was 40 per cent in favor and 34.5 per cent The next higher category per pupil rejected federal aid by a 45.4 per cent to 36.9 margin. Those districts with the highest per nditures ($850 and over) voted 59.5 per cent cent against any general federal assistance, i size of district, opposition to general fed- least pronounced in the very small and 2 districts.

Parts or all of the document ap- 'parently have been "leaked" to selected newspapers.

But efforts on the part of Republican senators to have the Rostow Paper produced before the Senate For- tign Relations Committee met with failure. In the hearings called to inquire Into the new policy paper, the State Department invoked a device known as "executive priv- flege" to avoid having to present the document. The practice of Invoking "executive privilege" to withhold information pertaining to the Executive Branch of government from the Congress is a dangerous tendency which seems to have grown ot late. It is an activity which afl Americans, who are interested in the public's "right to know" about their government, would do well to study carefully. For "executive privilege" can be used to the detriment ot public welfare.

It can be utilized to cover up not only questionable policy decisions on the part an administration, but also scandals arising from the flagrant misuse of public funds or the mil- placement of public trust. The problem of "executive privilege" has been dealt with skillfully and exhaustively in a new book, "Washington Cover up," by Clark R. Mollenhoft, a veteran Washington correspondent. Tht author concedes the need for keeping information secret, particularly information involving weapons and defense. But he insists that unlimited secrecy (has been) employed to hide incompetence, laxity, bungling and outfight fraud In the Defense Department, in the foreign aid program and in dozens of other areas." Mollenhoff traces the history ot how the Executive Branch has reacted to requests for information from Congress from the time of George Washington's administration.

He notes that, beginning with the Truman administration, the Executive Branch has become increasingly high handed in its re- fusals to turn over pertinent data to congressional committees. He cites several examples ot executive privilege exercised in the Eisenhower administration in connection with the Army McCarthy hearings and the investigation of the Dixon Yates case as well as alleged foreign aid corruption in Laos and Peru. "Washington Cover Up" was written prior to the incident of the Rostow Paper, but author Mollenhoff warned that the Kennedy administration had made a "wobbly start" on the information front. He recalled the President's ringing campaign promises that tt is the executive's duty to make sort the people are "kept fully informed" and his claim that "there Is no justification for using tht doctrine of 'executive privilege' to withold information from Congress and the public." Then Mollenhoff wrote: "Barely more than a year after the Kennedy administration had taken office, a situation arose which raised grave questions as to what its long-range policy would bt. In February 1962, during the hearings on alleged muzzling of military officers, President Kennedy invoked the claim of 'executive privilege' at the request of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara.

McNamara wanted to avoid identifying for the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee the Pentagon officials who had censored specific speeches by high military officers. "President Kennedy's letter to McNamara of Feb. 8,1962, set out an ill-defined claim that the national interest was at stake. The letter contained some terminology that seemed to claim an absolute right to bar testimony before Congress by any subordinate career How do you stand, sir?

With Congress slewing over vitally important legislation, Powell has gone off to the night clubs of Paris, the theaters of London, the film festival of Venice, and the delights of a cruise through the Greek islands, largely at government expense. He has taken with him two worn- em members his staff, Mrs. Tamara J. Wall, a young blonde divorcee, and Miss Corrine Huff, receptionist in Powell's office, a. dark-complexioned former runner- up in the Miss Universe Contest.

Officially, they will study equal opportunity for women. Meanwhile, the education bill for aid to colleges and universities is deadlocked in the education and labor committee ot which Powell is chairman. Powell, who heads the largest Baptist: Church in the world, the Abyssinia Baptist Church of Harlem, favors outright grants to Catholic colleges as do other House members. The Senate opposes outright, grants as contrary to separation of church and state, but is wining to vote loans. Tne congressman from Harlem didn't seem worried about remaining in Washington to struggle with a bill badly needed to help the colleges, though it looked as if he might be detained by his investigation of David Dubinsky and the International Ladies Garment Workers.

Dubinsky, head of the garment workers, is a power in the liberal party in New York, which refused to endorse Powell for re-election; also refused to endorse Herb Zelenko, loquacious Democrat from the 21st District and a member of Powell's Education and Labor Committee. SO SUDDENLY Dubinsky and the garment workers found themselves under investigation by that committee. Itching to go to Europe, however. Powell turned the probe over to Zelenko, who needed the publicity for his tough primary battle with the able Bill Ryan. Powell then sailed on the Queen Mary Aug.

8 with his two secretaries at the taxpayers' expense. Just before he sailed, he asked the State Department to arrange a plush sight-seeing tour of Europe, and the State Department accordingly sent the following cable to its embassies in London, Paris, Rome, Athens and Venice: "Congressman Adam C. Powell, chairman Committee Education and Labor accompanied by Mrs. Tamara J. Wall and Miss Corrine Huff staff members traveling Western Europe accordance following itinerary: "Aug.

"Provisions handbook congressional travel apply. Codel and par- ly authorized use local currencies 19FT561 funds. Meet assist appoint control officers." This means that "Codel," the cable abbreviation for Powell's "congressional delegation" could get counterpart funds in each city without having to account for them.

Counterpart funds are local currency which American embassies have on hand usually in payment for surplus farm products, and the State Department's cable meant that Powell and his two secretaries could dip into these funds for shopping, night-clubbing, tips to doormen, etc. "REQUEST ONE single and one double with bath as follows," continued the State Department cable.

Adams Is To Tell Of Maneuvers BROWNWOOD (AP) A Ft- Hood spokesman said today that the Army is sending Lt. Gen. Paul Adams to Central Texas to confer with land owners about conducting large-scale military maneuvers in October. Landowners are resisting the Army's planned use of their land for SI rental because of what the owners claim was unsatisfactory compensation for damages in the last large-scale maneuvers in this area.

Adams is commander of the U.S. Strike Command at McDill AFB in Florida. The Army plans maneuvers over 1,950,000 acres from Brownwood to Ft. Hood. Ft.

Hood sources said Adams will meet with landownrs next week. A Central Texas delegation took their protests to Washington last week. C. Q. Davis of Browjwood said today, "We feel this is the first time therp bfwi a complete understanding; between ranchers and the army of all the problems on both sides." Did You Know?

By FULTON LEWIS WASHINGTON The young man who is perhaps the world's greatest chess player has a few observations that might be applicable to the fuzzy-minded strategists of the State Department. It is doubtful that 19-year-old Bobby Fischer knows much of Vietnam of Katanga or Laos. His knowledge of disengagement and disarmament is limited. But Bobby Kischer knows well the Soviet disciples of Marx and Khrushchev.

He knows, too, they aim to win, at any price. He says bluntly what those at Foggy Bottom refuse to note: the Soviets cheat. Fischer has vowed not to play in any further tournaments sponsored by the International Federation of Chess. Fischer points to the recent candidates' tournament at Curacao, designed to find an opponent for Russian Mikhail Botvinnik in next year's world championship. Botvinnik has consistently turned down challenges from Fischer.

He insisted instead on the eight-man Curacao tournament. There five Russians, one Yugoslav, and two Americans squared off for the right to meet him. Fischer charges that Russian candidates played prearranged games that generally resulted in draws. This way, no Soviet stars could be charged with a defeat. He points to one game between Tigran Petrosian, the tournament's eventual winner, and Paul Keres, both Russians, in which there was a clear win for Petro- sian.

A draw was offered and accepted. Famed international Chessman Samuel Reshevsky, contacted by The New York Times, said that only a Russian could win the "unjust and unfair" Curacao toumey. Observers at that meet report that Soviet players violated all rules by advising each other on moves against Fischer and pal Benko, the otherAme rican. Protests to the referees lell upon deaf ears. Reported New York Times correspondent Harold C.

Schoenberg: "It is said in chess circles that Russian chess players do not play as individuals but as members of a team and that they will points to colleagues when sary." The Soviets replied in characteristic fashion to Fischer's closures. The magazine Sovetskyl Sport carried an article by national chess referee" Prorvichf who said: 5 "It is well known that lies on short legs. And on such legs it is hard to keep up with those are ahead."
