Newsmen Told To Leave Congo Within 48 Hours KINSHASA, The Congo (A.P) -The Congolese government today ordered all correspondents and photographers of The Asso ciated Press to leave the Congo within 48 hours. A similar measure was announced against a representa.

tive of the British news agency, Reuters. Information Minister Jean Jacques Kande said the decision was taken by President Joseph D. Mobutu personally. Kanda told Michael Holdsmith of The Associated Press the AP men were being expelled because AP stories had "speculated about Russian planes which are bringing Tshombe to The Congo and the route they are supposed to take, by way of Cairo." Ex Premier Moise Tshombe, under arrest in Algeria, faces a death sentence here. Kande said the government also objected to an AP report from Bujumbura, Burundi, three weeks ago quoting Congolese Interior Minister Etienne Tshisekedi as saying some white residents had been killed and eaten by undisciplined troops in Katanga.

In a separate meeting with Francois Duriaud of Reuters, Kande said the government objected to Reuters reports of ualties suffered by the Congolese army in a battle with mercenaries Tuesday. American Ambassador Robert H. McBride and British Ambas. sador John Cotton said they planned to urge Foreign Minis. ter Justin Bomboko have the expulsion order rescinded.

Also affected by the measure were a part-time Associated Press reporter Pierre Moser, a Swiss citizen, and Associated Press photographer Max Nash.

Bar Association To Review Stand On Crime News HONOLULU (AP)-The chief proponent of limiting crime news reporting said today his American Bar Association panel will review its recommendations in the light of objections raised by news media representatives. Justice Paul C. Reardon of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts said in an inter.

view that the review will be carried out before the recommendations are presented in February to the ABA's policy-making arm, the House of Delegates. Still, it seemed clear after a day-long hearing Friday that the Reardon panel will not retreat on its major proposals. And J. Edward Murray, chairman of the American Society, of Newspaper Information Editors' Freedom and Committee, said he is pinning his hopes for liberalization of the recommendations on the House of Delegates. It is that group, he said in an interview.

that is likely to a "more liberal construction to the very serious sanctions recommended by the Reardon report." Murray, managing editor of the Arizona Republic, said the recommendations are "of grave concern for all of The Reardon report calls on lawyers and police officials to restrict their comments on pending criminal cases and to cut back on the release of infor. mation about them. It also recommends contempt of court action against anyone who "disseminates by any means of public a prejudicial statement about a defendant in a willful attempt to affect the outcome of his trial. The same sanction is recom mended when the pretrial hear. ling has been closed by the judge.

Reardon and David L. Shapiro. Harvard law professor who was chief researcher for the panel, defended the contempt recommendations. "It seems to Reardon said. "that the contempt, proposals should be by the press.

We have narrowed the power." And Shapiro said, "We are attempting to confine it." However, W. Theodore Pierson, general counsel of the Radio and Television News Directors Association, said the contempt recommendations strike at investigative reporting. For instance, he said, a news. paper reporter who obtained incriminating statements during his investigation of a crime could be put in jail if he published them during a trial or during a closed pretrial hearing.

Word 'Temporary' In LBJ's Tax Boost Move Raises Doubt WASHINGTON (AP) porary taxes have had a way of lingering on- almost permanently.

But government officials say they don't want that to happen to the proposed temporary 10 per cent surcharge on individual and corporate income taxes sent to Congress by President Johnson. His plan calls for the surcharge to expire June 30, 1969, or to continue only so long as the Vietnam war if the war lasts beyond that date. Probers Seek to Cite Carmichael Under U.S. Laws WASHINGTON (AP) -Black Power advocate Stokely Carmichael is keeping the Justice Department busy writing letters explaining to the public why he hasn't been jailed or deported. More than 1.000 persons have written the department about Carmichael in the past four months alone, it was learned Friday.

Most of the letters included queries about the chances of prosecuting the militant Carmichael in connection with various of his activities. Many of the letters wondered if Carmichael, born in Trinidad, could be deported. The department's Since Carmichael derives citizenship through naturalization of his father, "he is not subject to deportation under existing federal law." And the department also told most of the letter- writers it still is reviewing Carmichael's activities "to determine whether he has violated. in any particular instance, any applicable federal law." told correspondents that Justice. Department officials "any individual who upon his fellow citizens to disobey our country's laws, who advocates violence, or who seeks to set one race against another does his nation and himself a grave disservice." Carmichael, former chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, has been sharply attacked on all those grounds by a number of congressmen.

Without specifically referring to Carmichael, the department wrote in response to one letter that "a citizen may take actions which do aid and comfort the enemy -making a speech critical of government or opposing its measures, profiteering, striking in defense plants or essential work. and the hundreds of other things which impair cohesion and diminish our strength -but if there is no adherence to the enemy in this, if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason."

Isle of Capri Struck By Raging Brush Fire CAPRI, Italy (AP) A rag. ing brush fire whipped by sea breezes raced out of control over miles of this romantic island today, causing panic among tourists and threatening hotels and villas. Capri authorities appealed to the North Atlantic Treaty Orgazation installation at Naples, on the mainland 18 miles away, to send men and equipment to help fight the flames. Frightened tourists abandoned beaches to be ready to leave the island. Shafer Asked to Veto Pa.

Ban on Imported Steel HARRISBURG (AP) An importer's organization asked Gov. Shafer to veto legislation that would require use of domestic steel only in pulic works projects. Gerald O'Brien, executive vicepresident of the American Importers' Association of New York told Shafer the bill is injurious to Pennsylvania's economic interests. He said it might bring retaliatory action from countries which buy from the commonwealth. The bill passed both the House and Senate by overwhelming margins.

Backers claim it is necessary to ease the economic threat of foreign steel to the domestic steel industry. Agents of the U.S. State Department urged both Shafer and the legislative leadership recently to oppose the measure on the ground that it was contrary to U.S. trade policy. Shafer has been silent on the measure, although there were indications from other quarters that a veto was in the offing.

Mao Supporters Rally in Peking TOKYO (AP) Japanese reports said one million supporters of Mao Tse-tung rallied in Peking today, marking the reported deadline for Mao's enemy, President Liu Shao-chi, to leave his house in the leaders' living area. The rally also celebrated appearance one year ago of wall posters, personally, written by his cultural revolution -a purge of his enemies. Reports throughout the week said Maoists had set today as the deadline for Liu, described as "China's Khrushchev," to leave or be dragged out of Chung Nan Hai Park. Maoists at the rally were led by Red Guards and soldiers. The teen-aged Red Guards sprang to prominence as watchdogs of Mao's thought one year ago.

Today's rally came amid reports of widespread unrest and clashes in communities throughout mainland China, some set off by opponents of the purge.

(AP) Metropolitan Courthouse -lists The Black Power advocate who claims to be director of Nashville's "Liberation School" says the federal overnment "can keep funds going to continue operating." H. Brooks, leader of Nashville's Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee chapter, said Friday the school will operate on local contributions if charges that the school teaches hatred of whites lead to a cutoff of federal funds.

Police Capt. John A. Sorace told the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington Thursday that the antipoverty school teaches "pure, unadulterated hatred of the white race." Brooks, a husky 20-year-old Detroit Negro, answered Sorace Friday night. "I think Sorace is a racist. He should be killed," Brooks said.

"He no longer serves a function in society. He ought to be put away somewhere. He's insane." Asked to amplify, Brooks said, "I think any man who resorts to lying to this country about what's going on in the black community should be killed. He's a traitor." Sorace could not be reached for comment. The school- -which holds classes for Negro children in St.

Anselm's Episcopal chapel-is a summer project of the Metropolitan Action Commission, local organization of the Office of Economic Opportunity. Although Brooks says he is director the school, officials of the Commission and OE0 say he has not received pay from the federal government. In Washington, the Rev. J. Paschall Davis.

Commission Chairman, told Senate investigators that no federal funds for the school will be approved if Sorace's statement is found to be accurate. Federal funds for the school have been delayed until officials complete a security check of employes, Bill Davis. Commission Director said Friday. The proposed Commission payroll for August--on file in Kury Plans to Propose Changes On Conservation Top officials say they hope this timetable can be kept. But a look at some past "temporary taxes" makes the outlook bleak.

Consider the spate, of extra taxes imposed or ones increased during World War I and the Korean War. Many of them -chiefly excise taxes-were put in the temporary category and called for on grounds of war needs. But many lingered on for years afterward. Congress adopted in 1965 a major reduction and elimination of excise taxes which dated from the depression of the 1930s and World War II. Johnson strongly supported the measure.

But it's been hard to remove a temporary tax once it works its way into the system. Take, for example, the tax on I transportation. It was first enacted during World War expired, after the. World but War was II. Part of 5 per cent tax on air transportation--lingers on.

A 10 per on train rides finally was repealed in 1962. The alcohol tax of $9.50 per gallon was raised "temporarily" to $10.50 during the Korean War but was later made permanent. Although the administration has worked rid the tax' system of as many excises as possible, it now wants to postpone some reductions which are scheduled to go into effect early year. On April 1. the 7 per cent manufacturer's auto excise tax is scheduled to fall to 2 per cent and to 1 cent on Jan.

1, 1969. The 10 per cent excise tax on telephone service is scheduled to fall to 1 per cent April and to be eliminated on Jan. 1, 1969. These rates had been substantially higher during wartime. Johnson now has asked Congress to postpone the first drops to July 1, 1969, and the second drops to Jan.

1, 1970, as part of his new tax package. County Board to Attend Parley Correction of an improper assessment was the only item of business transacted yesterday afternoon by Northumberland County Commissioners. The board heard routine reports, approved the pay roll and authorized payment of bills. At the request of the chief assessor, commissioners approved a motion to strike off taxes due for 1962 through 1966 on a parcel in Shamokin Township. The parcel was improperly assessed in the name of Margaret and Robert Frederick, but investigation showed the property consisted of a trailer on leased land.

The trailer has since been moved. Announcement was made that the regular meeting on Tuesday has been 1 canceled because board members will be attending the convention of the State Association of County Commissioners in Philadelphia.

Patacos, interior minister in the four-month-old regime, expounded his views on the Communist role in the resistance movement during several informal talks with newsmen this week. He said the opposition which is beginning to emerge is still small and scattered, but is increasingly irritatng.

Antiregime handbills have been sprinkling down on the back streets of Athens almost nightly during the past week or two. A homemade bomb ed near a big Athens tourist hotel Thursday night-the second such blast in a month. An underground group which calls itself "New Greece" or "Patriotic Front" has been sending its mimeographed propaganda leaflets to news agencies and embassies.

Scattered arrests for such activities have taken place from Crete to Macedonia. Patacos implied. however. that provocation was coming mostly from outside Greece. All known leaders of this country's extreme left movements are among the nearly 2,000 political prisoners still held on Yioura and Leros islands in the Aegean Sea southeast of Athens.

But other activists are still loose and awaiting guidance. Patacos said these were the ones who under outside prodding. were beginning to cause trouble in Athens, Salonika and ou the island of Crete to provoke the government to clamp on tighter controls.

Nashville Police Capt. John A. Sorace testified Wednesday that $7,700 in federal funds supplied by the Office of Economic Opportunity is supporting the school. Sorace said it teaches racial hatred. "No money has been given to that school as yet," the Mr.

Davis testified. "No money will be given until we have an opportunity to investigate." And he said if Sorace's testimony about the school is found to be true, it will get no poverty-fighting money. The cl said that probably will chairman outcome. "The money has been allocatel to our program," he acknowledged. involved in a certain way--we have a contract with them." The clergyman said the contract is not with Brooks, but with St.

Anselms Episcopal Chapel, where the school operates. Records in Nashville indicated that a "Liberation School" payroll, with Brooks listed as director. was to have been financed by the poverty agency Aug. 28. It was at St.

Anselms, the Rev. Mr. Davis said, that Brooks took possession of the white station wagon leased by the poverty agency. But he likened the transaction to a janitor receiving a package delivered to an apartment house. Eastland disagreed.

"He's driving the station wagon he is director of the school and you contractual relations with him," the Mississippi senator said. The Rev. Mr. Davis said the "Liberation School" project was approved on July 18 by the OE0 regional office in Atlanta, and initiation contract signed with the Rev. James Woodruff of St.

Anselms on July 24, But he insisted again no money has been paid out because investigation and clearances through a labyrinth of local administrative agencies has not been completed. Sen. Edward M. Kennedv. D.

said the Rev. Mr. Davis had refuted Sorace's ttstimony "I'm just hopeful that truth can up with what is falsehood." Kennedy said. "I disagree, said Eastland. "I think this testimony supports him.

Supports Mr. Sorace? Kennedy asked. "That's correct," Eastland said. The school, for children aged to 12, was described in its application for Poverty funds as a program to teach Nechildren about tht history of their people. Brooks said Thursday it is "not our responsibility if Negro children grow to hate whites through exposure to history, including that dealing with enslavement of Negroes.

But on Friday, the 20-year-old Negro militant said the school teaches neither hate nor violence. Eastland said he is issuing a subpoena summoning Brooks to testify before the Judiciary Committee. Legislation for a comprehensive reorganization of Pennsylvania conservation agencies into a new department of conservation of natural resources will be introduced in the House of Representatives Representative Franklin L. Kury, Montour-Northumberland. Kury's proposal, which would have a profound impact on the Anthracite region, will include the following.

1. The present Department of Forests and Waters would be named the Department of Conservation of Natural Resources and would be the basic unit around which the new department would be created. 2. All existing programs and personnel in the Department of Mines and Mineral Industries, dealing with strip mine enforcement. water pollution and land reclamation, would be transferred to the new department.

The Department of Mines would thereby be returned to its original puras a state agency for inspecting and regulating mining for safety. 3. All existing programs and personnel in the Department of Health, dealing with water and air pollution, including the Sanitary Water Board and Air Pollution Control Commission, would be transferred to the new department. 4 The Sanitary Water Board would be re-named "The Clean Water Board." to indicate that it is concerned with pollution as more than a matter of health. 5 The billboard control program in the Department Highways would be transferred to the new department.

6 The Soil and Water Conservation Commission would be transferred from the Department of Agriculture. 7. The topographic and geological survey bureau of the Department of Internal Affairs would be transferred to the new department. 8. A special office of conservation law enforcement staffed by full-time attorneys directly responsible to the secretary conservation would be established.

This office would have the authority to coordinate and supervise enforcement of any law dealing with conservation administered by any state agency. "There is serious doubt that Pennsylvania's government properly equipped to meet the challenge of natural resource conservation in final third the 20th Century," Kury said. the, "Our state's governmental machinery for natural resourcRev.es conservation has been structed on a piecemeal haphazard fashion over the past half Kury declared. "Today that machinery is not only outmoded, it is splintered in that its efforts are dispersed without a strong sense of direction. Conservation efforts are spread out over no less than state agencise and boards.

The performance is often marred 1 by intrarivalry and in and the cause of conservation loses in the process. "I am therefore introducing this legislation to give our conservation efforts a streamlining so they can do a much more ef. fective job." Kury said. "I think it is particularly in the Anthracite area where we are about to undertake a project of undoing century of scars that have been inflicted on our land and water." Brooks as director at a salary of $300 for the summer. Bill Davis said the official title of director of the school is held by the Rev.

James Woodruff, rector of Anselm's. Thirty -four Negroes 6 to years old attended classes Friday. Their work- observed for the first time by newsmen-included a dramatic interpretation of the pre-Civil War underground railroad which aided escaping slaves, working with paints, studying math and swimming. There were no discussions among the pupils and several young "student aides." One white observer, Harry Carpenter, an inspector with OE0 in Washington, was ordered here by OE0 officials as a result of Sorace's testimony. He declined comment on his investigation.

Brooks who said Thursday that no whites be allowed to enter the school told newsmen Friday the school is open to children of all races. The school, approved "in principle" by the commission and OEO, was designed to instill in young Negroes a pride in their race. The curriculum, Brooks said, is based on Negro authors "because white schools use white authors." In a classroom adjoining the chapel are several drawings auditorium, Negro and white children playing together. The wall is lined with photographs of former SNCC Chairman Stokely Carmichael and the late Malcolm X. and several signs proclaiming black power.

A bulletin board carries a pamphlet called "Black Thesis" which includes speeches by SNCC Chairman H. Rap Brown and a story purporting to show that a 14-year-old Nashville Negro was kidnaped by a Negro policeman.
