The witness, John Peters, told a Senate subcommittee that secret meetings of representatives of electrical equipment manufactur ers took place between 1951 and 1959, His testimony about the meet ings in the large generator field was seconded by another witness, R. B. Sellers, in the smaller gen erator business. Sellers is manag er of turbine sales for the Elliott Co., a division of Carrier Corp. Peters and Sellers testified dur ing the second day of hearings by- the Senate antitrust and mo nopoly subcommittee, The subcommittee is trying to find out if price fixing was more extensive than revealed by a re 7 cent criminal case in federal court. In that case, a federal judge in Philadelphia fined 29 manufactur ers and 45 company officials near ]y $2 minion and jailed seven officials after they had pleaded guilty or no contest to charges of violating the antitrust laws. During yesterday's hearings, Sen. Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., asked Peters if the secret meetings of GE, Westinghouse _Electric Corp., and Allis-Chalmers had ended in 1959 because company officials simply felt it was better business to halt them. "I'd say that's right," Peters rep] iecl. Did - stepped-up enforcement of the antitrust laws influence the. decision to end the meetings? "I don't think so," Peters said. Red China Supports Castro TOKYO (A') Communist Chi na early yesterday formally ex pressed support to Prime Minis ter Fidel Castro in resisting the invasion of anti-Castro forces, the New China News Agency re ported. -- ever means are available to re turn and "support their country men in the continuing struggle for freedom." Kennedy repeated his decla ration of last week that Ameri cans would not be involved in any military intervention in Cuba. With that statement, Kennedy rejected Khrushchev's charge that the United States was supporting the invasion by Cuban forces seek ing to overthrow Castro. In his message, Khrushchev al so threatened to give the Castro regime "all necessary assistance" in resisting the invasion. Kennedy called the Castro re gime "alien-dominated." He said there are unmistakable signs that Cubans find the de nial of democratic liberties and the betrayal of Castro's original revolutionary principles intoler able. The White House made public Kennedy's message at the same time Secretary of State Dean Rusk handed it to Soviet Ambas sador Mikhail Menshikov at the State Department. "I have taken careful note of your statement that the events in Cuba might affect peace in all parts of the world," Ken nedy said. "I trust that this does not mean that the Soviet government, using the situation in Cuba as a pre text, is planning to inflame other areas of the world," he said: "In the event of any military intervention by outside force we will immediately honor our obli gations under the inter-American system to protect this hemisphere against external aggression," he said. Committee Named For Redistricting WASHINGTON (fP) Pennsyl vania's House Democrats chose a three-man committee yesterday to consider how best to re-district the state's congressional seats. Population shifts in the last 10 years will cost Pennsylvania three of its 30 seats two years from now, unless Congress increases the House membership to more than 435. The committee members are Reps. William J. Green, Philadel phia's Democratic chairman; El mer Holland, of Pittsburgh; and George M. Rhodes, of Reading. The actual redistricting is done by the state legislature, but House members submit their own recom mendations. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA House Votes For Hike In Pensions HARRISBURG (IF) -- The legislators' pay-pension pack age was approved yesterday by the House. The bills would give House and Senate members an immediate $3,000 expense allowance on top of their $6,000 salary and increase 'their pension benefits 50 per cent. The vote on the expense allow ance, the most controversial part' of the six-bill package, was 148-52.1 The pension increase passed, 161- 1 .40. The entire package now goes to the Senate for further action. It is estimated that it would cost the state an additional $126,- '5OO annually In pension payments —the legislators would match that amount—and $780,000 for ex penses. There was no debate on any of the measures except the expense account proposal. Rep. E. J. Farabaugh, Cambria 'County farmer and Democrat, led the opposition to it, warning the legislators: "I think it's about time the members in both houses start thinking of the people they represent . . . and not thinking simply of financial gains." Both floor leaders. Democrat Stephen McCann and Republican Albert W. Johnson argued for the measure, basing their justification on the increasing length of the sessions. Farabaugh took issue with the work involved in being a legisla tor. He argued furthermore that "we're going to call upon a lot of people to pay more taxes who are not making a good living." Earlier, there were scattered hisses through the chamber when Rep. Maurice H. Goldstein, R- Allegheny, got up to propose an amendment that would have pro hibited any legislator from hold ing any other elective or ap pointive public office. The amendment was beaten 50-149.
