AUGUST 3, 1965 SUN-DEMOCRAT, PADUCAH, KY. Ford Blames White House For Viet Conference Leak By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Gerald R. Ford of Michigan said today he has suspicion that information on a Viet Nam conference between President Johnson and congressional leaders last week "was leaked from the White House." The House Republican leader, regarded as the apparent target of Johnson's blast at "a prominent member of another party" over the reports, did not elabo- (rate. But in a television interview (Today NBC) he did deny anew that he was the source of the controversial accounts.

At issue was a published report that a memorandum read at the White House session by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana influenced Johnson's choice not to call up National Guard and reserve units. Johnson said that was untrue, and took the view. that the leak was in "perhaps malicious" form. Ford said most of the significant information on the meeting had leaked from other sources by the next morning and I much of it was given at a Pentagon press briefing the following day. "I broke no confidence," Ford asserted.

He said he thought it would be best to drop the whole thing. That part- of this comment today was about the same thing he had said. Monday, House Committee Approves Immigration Reform Bill WASHINGTON (AP) House Judiciary Committee today approved a bill calling for major reforms in immigration policy, including elimination of the controversial national origins quota system.The 26-4 bipartisan vote for the administration-backed measure indicated it would have strong support when it comes to. the House floor. A companion bill is before a Senate subcom-1968, mittee.

Besides scrapping the 40-yearold system of assigning quotas individual nations, the bill would set up a new order of preferences for immigrants, chiefly benefiting close relatives of U.S. citizens. Its major change in present policy, however, would be in its abolition of the quota system, devised to mirror the U.S. population makeup in 1920. Under it, northern and western European nations get most of the available U.S.

entry permits, but use only a fraction of them. The bill would do away with the quota system on July 1, and until then the quotas unused by any nation would be pooled to reduce the backlog of applicants from low quota coun- Starting July 1, 1968, a ceilling of 170,000 would be placed on immigration from the present quota countries, under which each country would be treated equally. A maximum limit of 20,000 would be placed on admissions from any one nation. Western Hemisphere nations, which are now allowed unrestricted immigration outside the quota, would not be affected by the proposed new law. Also outside the ceiling would be the parents, spouses and children of U.S.

citizens. The effect of the bill would be to authorize total annual immigration of about under the ceiling, 120,000 from the Western Hemisphere and 50,000 parents, spouses and children.

Mrs. Wilson had lived in Crittenden County all her life, and made her home with Mrs. Eulah Rowland on Shady Grove Road outside Marion. Born April 17, 1865, "Aunt Dora" was the fourth daughter of William and Susan Lamb Pickens. Their farm was on the old Chickasaw Trail which con-, nected Princeton and Fredonia Valley with Weston on the Ohio River.

The trailway, almost a straight line from Princeton to the river, had been a natural passageway for animals and Indians until about 1790, when the. Chickasaws won a battle over Kaskaskia Indians. Mrs. Wilson's grandfather, Joel Lamb, built a log house on trail when it was a natural runway. Mrs.

Wilson and all her brothers and sisters were born and reared there. Mrs. Wilson's husband, William Quincy Lysander Wilson, died about 30 years ago. They were married Sept. 20, 1885, and moved into their new home at Sugar Grove.

Mr. Wilson's grandfather had donated land and logs for an old Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which was hidden from Indians at the foot of a hill. After the Indian scare had been dispelled, Mrs. Wilson's husband donated a new location for the church at the top of the hill, along with a lot of lumber. The couple did much of the building the new frame church.

Mrs. Wilson was named the elder in charge of preparing the sacrament, when the church. was finished. For 65 years until in she broke her hip, she made unleavened bread and provided homemade wine for this service, which she never missed. A new Sugar Grove Church now stands on that early land site.

Mrs. Wilson, at times, had made her home with a niece, Miss Era DeBoe of Paducah, former Tilghman High School faculty member. She is survived by five other nieces, Mrs. Loren Yates of Telahoma, Mrs. Nona Horning of Sturgis, and Mrs.

Lee Morris, Mrs. Frank Bennett and Mrs. Willard Dollins, all of Marion; three great-nieces, Mrs. Dorothy Dollins of Detroit, Mrs. Inos Stallins of Benton and Mrs.

Those jailed Monday included a Roman Catholic priest and a baptist minister who said they were chaplains at Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich. Most of those jailed said they represented the Rev.

Government Overstepped Its Authority In Breckinridge Sale, Says Consultant By JOHN KOENIG JR. WASHINGTON (AP) -A Washington petroleum consultant is contemplating court action to safeguard leases he says he holds on oil and gas rights on land that formerly was the site of Camp. Breckinridge, Ky.

Declared excess by the Army, Camp Breckinridge was to have been disposed of as surplus property by the General Services Administration. The GSA exceeded its authorIty, McKenna believes, in plac-Ition ing mineral rights including gas and oil on sale, in addition to the surface lands. McKenna said he filed appli-sale.

Heath Loses First Bout With Wilson By COLIN FROST LONDON Two leading British newspapers said today that Edward Heath, making his parliamentary debut as Conservative party leader, lost a verbal duel with Labor Prime Minister Harold Wilson. "He lost by a knockout," the independent Times of London said. "When it comes to the art of infighting, Mr.

Wilson has no peer. By the same token, Mr. Heath has a lot to learn." "Disappointment was sadly and generally registered by Conservatives when they heard their new leader," said the conservative Daily. Telegraph. The House of Commons debate Monday night centered on a motion by Heath expressing no confidence in the Labor government and deploring Wilson's handling of the affairs of state.

With the 10 Liberal members abstaining, the government defeated the motion 303-290. Heath accused the Laborites of destroying confidence by over dramatizing the extent of Britain's financial crisis and by using piecemeal measures to ease it. The new Tory chief avoided verbal fireworks in his first major speech as party leader. And Wilson brought the packed benches to a fever by taunting the previous Conservative government with having secretly prepared every kind of emergency measure which they now sought to censure. He charged that the Conservatives had detailed schemes ready for an imports surcharge of the kind his government introduced last October, and for an imports quota system, which Labor has avoided.

He accused Heath of humbug and political cowardice, and said: "We treat his censure motion with contempt." Heath sprang to his feet to reply, but his words were drowned out by-shouts from the Labor seats. At one point, both leaders were on their feet pointing their fingers at each other. The debate ended with the speaker appealing to both to stick to the rules. I Chairman Glenn T. Seaborg of the Atomic Energy Commission has announced that the commission has approved an agreement under which the State of Tennessee will assume part of AEC's regulatory authority over the use of radioactive materials in the state.

The agreement will be signed Opponents Balk On Remap Vote WASHINGTON (AP) Opponents have refused to agree to a showdown vote of Sen. Everett M. Dirksen's constitutional amendment on legislative reapportionment until they see its final form. But Sen. William Proxmire, a leader of opposition, told newsmen the odds are 2-1 that the vote will be taken Wednesday.

Dirksen, the Senate GOP leader, also said this was likely. Dirksen's amendment would permit one house of state legislatures to be apportioned on the basis of geography and political subdivisions as well as populations, if the people approve in a referendum. The Supreme Court, in a "one man, one vote" decision last year, held that both branches must be apportioned on the basis of population. John Glass, 81, Dies At Princeton DAWSON SPRINGS, Aug. 3.

John Green Glass, 81, of Dawson Springs, died at Caldwell County War Memorial Hospital in Princeton Sunday morning. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ruby Hunsacker Glass; two sons, Maurice Glass of Chicago and Kenneth Glass of Sepulveda, three brothers, Everett Glass of Caldwell County, Garnett Glass. of Johnson City. Ill.

and Charles L. Glass of Milwaukee, eight grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. today at Morgan Funeral Home, the Rev. Jack Boyd officiating.

Burial was in Crossroads Cemetery. by Commissioner James T. Ramey for the AEC and by Gov. Frank G. Clement for Tennessee at a ceremony at Nashville on Aug.

12. The agreement will be effective Sept. 1, 1965. The transfer of regulatory responsibility will include licensing, rule making and enforcement in Tennessee of the uses of radioisotopes, the source materials uranium and thorium and small quantities of fissionable materials. The Radiological Health Service of the Tennessee Department of Public Health will conduct the state's radiation control program.

There are approximately 220 AEC licenses in Tennessee for the use of radioactive materials. The commission has found that the radiation control program to be conducted in Tennessee is compatible with that of the AEC and that it is adequate to protect the health and safety of the public. The commission published the agreement proposed by Tennessee in the Federal Register once each week for four consecutive weeks, beginning on June 3, 1965. The approved agreement is the same as that which was published. Tennessee will be the eleventh state to assume this regulatory responsibility from the AEC.

The commission now has agreements with Arkansas, California, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas. Lone Oak Woman Hurt In Accident Mrs. Marilyn Starnes Massey, 21, of Lone Oak was injured Monday morning car collided with another in Lone Oak. State Trooper Don Hightower said Mrs. Massey pulled out of Vaughn's Garage into the path of William Chumbler 52, of Mayfield, principal of Lowes High School.

Though damage to both cars was extensive, neither driver was seriously injured, though. Mrs. Massey was taken to Western Baptist Hospital for treatment. CEMENT GRAVEL LIME SAND Mixed Concrete Dial 442-5496 FEDERAL MATERIALS CO. Incorporated for leases on Breckinridge oil and gas rights March 6.

He said this entailed payment of a $10 filing fee for each of 19 leases, plus 50 cents per acre annual rental, amounting to a total of nearly $18,000 per year for about 35,000 acres. Should he begin drilling operations, McKenna said, he would then have to pay a royalty of one -eighth of the production in place of the rental fee. Despite the leases and despite a long-standing government policy of leasing mineral rights ther than selling them, McKen-1951 said, the GSA sold the rights on July 9 to a number of individual oil companies for $24.5 million. McKenna said he filed applicafor the gas and oil rights after reading GSA advertisem*nts last December offering the Breckinridge deposits for He said he investigated and found that under a public land order issued in 1951 the gas and oil rights were placed under jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior. He said the Interior Department's jurisdiction over the mineral rights was confirmed on March 1 by the department's solicitor Frank J.

Barry. Undersecretary of the Interior John A. Carver Jr. transmitted this legal opinion to the GSA on March 23, McKenna said. Nevertheless, he said, the Inra-terior Department revoked its order on June thus relinquishing to GSA its jurisdiction over the mineral rights.

McKena noted the department took the latter action nearly two months after he filed application for the leases. Two other leasees who acquired their authority from the Interior Department have been in operation on the site for years, McKenna said. He said one lease was issued on 190 acres in 1957 and the other, for 700 acres, in 1959. McKenna said his March 16 application was leases on the remaining nearly 35,000 acres at Camp Breckinridge. He said he is engaged also in oil drilling operations in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Before taking his case to court, McKenna said, he is obligated to try all administrative remedies possible. He said this includes an appeal to the Eastern States of the Bureau of Land Management which already has been rejected, and then appeals to the bureau itself and ultimately to the secretary of the interior. Should the appeal be rejected by all three, McKenna, said, his suit most likely would be filed in U.S. District Court here.
