$15,000. 'ather Sicking fights poverty
at it disadvantage, it would seem. He is
without adequate funds while in his
heart and mind is a very comprehensive
program that could be most construc-
tive if implemented: I came away from
Cincinnati convinced that the war on
Poverty will not be won between the
hours of 9 and 4 by paid program workers
but rather will be won by people like
Father Sicking who, when 4 p.m. arrives,
stay with, and live with the poor. The
_ Father Sickings have the confidence of
the people while there is considerabl
doubt whe,n it comes to paid poverty pr
gram employees.
I would recommend that more of he
war on poverty be channeled th s gh
groups, individuals and ,agencies wh ? are
waking in the field?the Salv. tion
Army, the missions, the comm nity
councils, the Father Sickings. I also
feel that the program will be much ore
successful if a higher emphasis is p aced
on training for job skills rathe the
make-work projects.
One of our most effective witnesse
Willard Dudley, the able director o
Ohio Bureau of Unemployment an
Employment Services, who indic
how full-time, comprehensive Prog
were being shortchanged while m
shift, short duration programs were
ceiving massive Federal grants to acc
plish limited objectives with, unfo
:lately, limited hopes for success, is
testimony alone was an indication of
how the glamor programs like pove ty
attract many unworkable or less advis
ble projects because "there is where t e
money is:"
Representative AYRES and myself no
-believe even more that the poverty pro
gram should be investigated thoroughl
before the Congress considers giving
a new lease on life. We should go in
the field and hear what the people are
thinking and not listen merely to those
bureaucrats who can come to Washing-
ton and applaud their own efforts. Many
other aspects of the poverty program
Could be discussed at this time but I offer
these brief remarks as an initial report
on our hearings. Again, I say that men
like Father William Sicking, full-time
poverty warriors, are what is needed to
help combat the blight which we all
know exists. They, far more than the
high paid, part-time poverty employees
Will bring us a solution to the problem.
I now yield to my colleague the gentle-
man from Ohio [Mr. CLANCY].
Mr. CLANCY. Mr. Speaker, I would
like to take this opportunity to thank
my colleagues Mr. WILLIAM AYRES and
Mr. JOIN ASHBROOK for coming to Cin-
cinnati to conduct public hearings on
the effectiveness and administration of
the poverty programs in our city and
for going out among the poor to hear
their views.,
I could not agree more with the ob-
servations just made by Mr. ASHEROoK,
and in particular his comments with re-
spect to the work being done by Father
Sicking. ,
The articulate testimony of the Rev.
William Sicking was most helpful and
enlightening. Father Sicking is director
of De Pares Center in the West End,
pastor of St. Paul Church on Pendleton
Street, and has been a trustee of Cin-
cinnati's antipoverty agency?the Com-
munity Action Commission?since the
CAC was founded in 1964.
I have known Father Sicking not only
as a great spiritual leader, but as a per-
sonal friend for 35 years. To know him
is to admire him. His dedicated work
with the poor and the underprivileged is
well known throughout the Greater Chi-
c' His many friends and I
plaud him fo 's dedication and his
interest in seeing 't that if there are
Federal programs to ?t the poor, the
poor themselves benefit ore and the
professional workers less.
Father Sicking is not a \ armchair
commentator on conditions in the
nce in
get
ple.
ghetto. He has a working resi
a poverty area and has been able
the reaction and thinking of poor p
He knows at first hand the hunger, 4n-
employment, disease and overcrowding
in substandard housing where crime anti
violence thrive.
Father Sicking told the members of
the congressional committee that "grass-
roots poor people laugh at the antipov-
erty program."
The following excerpt from his testi-
mony should also be of interest to my
colleagues:
"CAC? Never heard of it," they (the poor)
say. Those who have heard of it call them
"big shots" who are telling us to raise our-
selves by our own bootstraps, only we don't
have any boots.
And: "If it weren't for us poor people,
those guys (poverty program employees)
wouldn't have a job and be pulling down
those fancy salaries."
Father Sicking concluded his testi-
mony with five specific recommendations
which merit consideration. I am con-
vinced that as a result of our hearings
in Cincinnati and hearings that could
possibly be conducted in other communi-
ties, constructive legislation providing
for an improved poverty program, with
Increased emphasis on more jobs, will
be forthcoming.
ROPOSED NEW CHESAPEAKE BAY
PARALLEL BRIDGE AND THE J. E.
GREINER CO.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a
p evious order of the House, the gentle-
mtn from Maryland [Mr. LONG], is rec-
og ized for 15 minutes.
Mr. LONG of Maryland. Mr. Speaker,
legislation now pending before Congress
would authorize the -location of certain
toll projects in Maryland. H.R. 11627
would authorize a Balkimore Harbor
Tunnel and three bridges across the
Chesapeake Bay?one in the Baltimore
area, one in southern Maryland and one
parallel to, and duplicative of, the pres-
ent span.
My bill, H.R. 3135, would exclude au-
thorization for this parallel bridge,
which was rejected by the voters of
Maryland in a referendum last Novem-
ber. Despite this rejection by the voters,
the Maryland State Roads Commission
is pushing ahead with its plans to build
a second bridge alongside the existing
Cheseapeake Bay Bridge.
And closely associated with the State
Roads Commission in pressing for this
rejected bridge is the J. E. Greiner Co., a
consulting engineering firm of Balti-
more, Md., which for decades has been a
dominating factor in the location and
planning of roads and bridges in Mary-
land. As early as January 31, 1964, the
Greiner Co. recommended that?
First priority be given to the construction
of a second bridge adjacent to the existing
bridge at Sandy Point.
It is significant that this report was
issued over the signature of J. E. Don-
nelly, one of three partners in the
Greiner Co.' It is significant also that
the State roads commission has just rec-
omended to the Maryland Board of Pub-
lic Works that Greiner be awarded the
contract to supervise the design and con-
struction of a parallel bay bridge.
This contract is about to be awarded.
The parallel bridge will be so costly that
it will use up, possibly to the year 2000,
any money or borrowing capacity that
might have been available to build a
\ bay bridge in another location, such as
in Baltimore or in southern Maryland.
The contract to build this bridge would
thus determine the future population,
traffic, and economic patterns of Mary-
land for decades to come.
It is significant, further, that the
Greiner Co. scarcely stands to lose money
from this contract to design the parallel
bay lil-idge. In 1965, Greiner Co. esti-
matechits fee for this work at $5.1 mil-
lion 2 alien though it had done the de-
sign foi the present bridge in the same
location a design which is presumably
still available to assist the Greiner Co.
in desig ing the parallel bay bridge.
This fee as based on 10 percent of con-
struction costs. Because construction
costs will ave risen since 1965, Greiner's
fee, on th 10-percent basis, could be $7
to $10 mill on.
In view f the importance of this con-
tract to b 'ld a parallel bay bridge, the
competenc and integrity of the consult-
ing engin ering company should be
beyond rep each.
A real ? estion now arises whether
this is tru of the J. E. Greiner Co. I
hereby pla e in the RECORD an account
of a crimi al trial in which J. E. Don-
nelly, part er in the Greiner Co., was a
defendant, nd of a civil suit against the
Greiner C itself. The record of these
trials cont ins vital information con-
cerning th practices of the Greiner Co.
in anoth State?information that
should ser e as a warning to the people
of Maryla d of how their money may be
wasted on a project which they have re-
jected a d which, I have repeatedly
argued, been undertaken par* for
the aggr ndizement of the Greiner Co.

trial inc udes:

CONGRESSIONAL RECO
Th chairman, secretary-treasurer, ff-
nano director, and two other officials of
the ennsylvania Turnpike Commission,
to wldeh the Greiner Co. was consulting
engir eer;
Tb e president and general manager of
the 3 fanu-Mine Research & Development
Co. a vhose plans were endorsed by the
Greii ler Co.
TY is cast of characters is tied together
in a interesting web of business and
fami [sr relationships. Five of this nine-
mern ber cast eventually were sentenced
to pi ison. Another was involved in a civil
suit running into the millions of dollars.
Here is the sequence of events:
December 1953, the 3. E. Greiner Co.
was named consulting engineer of the
Peni isylvania Turnpike Commission for
the lortheastern extension of the Penn-
sylv.txda Turnpike.
In 1957, in connection with this project,
J. IL Donnelly, partner in the J. E.
Gre ner Co? was indicted on a "charge of
cone Piracy to cheat and defraud the
Pen ssylvania Turnpike Commission" of
"mi lions of dollars." 3 This is the same
J. Donnelly who signed the 1964
Grener Co. report recommending a par-
alle bay bridge.
G. Joseph Hudert, a Greiner Co. en-
gin( er, was indicted at the same time on
the same charge. Both men are still of -
ficii kis of the Greiner Co.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commis-
sion dismissed the J. E. Greiner Co. as
the Turnpike's consulting engineer and
brosght a $7.'7 million civil negligence
suit ;against the Greiner Co. in the U.S.
Dis-orict Court of Maryland.' Defendants
Do) melly and Hudert were not convicted

order to settle the civil suit out of court.'
indicate further the seriousness of
thE case in which the Greiner Co. was in-
vol Ved, five of the nine defendants stand-
ing trial for criminal conspiracy and
thiee related charges were convicted.'
Three of the men were top officials of the
Pe msylvania Turnpike Commission:
Thomas J. Evans, chairman; James F.
Torrance, secretary and treasurer; and
Paul J. McNeill, finance director. Two
otliers convicted were: Charles W. Stick-
ler, president and principal stockholder
of the Manu-Mine Research 8.3 Develop-
= nt Co., and Clayton A. Landsidle,
MI mu-Mines general manager. Manu-
ne President Stickler was also a
ne Phew of Turnpike Chairman Evans,
while Chairman Evans' son, Richard H.
ans, was Manu-Mine's vice president
UT til his death several months before
the return of indictments in these cases.'
The criminal cases and the civil pro-
ceedings arose because of Manu-Mine's
es thriates for, and performance of, mine
illing and slushing work on the north-
etern extension of the Pennsylvania

Manu-Mine had claimed that mine
drilling and slushing were needed be-
cause a portion of the northeastern ex-
tension was to be built in a region con-
taining inactive coal mines. The cavities
of these mines, claimed Mariu-Mine, had
to be found by blind drilliSg and then
slushed, that is, filled in w_th silt. This
would provide the necessary!firm subsur-
face support for the road. !
Defendant, Donnelly of ;the Greiner
Co. was present during a February 28,
1955, meeting at which the ''ennsylvania
Turnpike Commission awarded the mine
drilling and slushing contract to Manu-
Mine. Donnelly later admitted that he
knew of the family relationship between
Manu-Mine President Stickler and Turn-
pike Comm .ssion Chairman Evans." :
At the 1957 criminal trial, the Com- ;
monwealth of Pennsylvania's expert wit- ;
nesses testified that 95 percent of the :
drilling and slushing work was unneces-
sary becau3e nearly all the coal mines
had filled is naturally and presented no :
threat to the road's stability. The extent ;
to which the work was both unnecessary
and overpriced can be judged by the
testimony of Daniel H. Connelly, deputy:
secretary of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Mines, that Mar-Mine had .
billed the turnpike commi ion 17.5 mil- ;
lion for one part of the drilling and
slushing work which shoUld only have,
cost $82.9 thousand at mast," or only 1;
percent. ,
Defendant Donnelly of the Greiner;
Co. testified at his trial that:
The Greiner Company did endorse the pro-
gram of slushing as developed by Menu*:
Mine?' '
Greiner Co. also issued 0, report chal-:
longing the Pennsylvania !State Depart-.

that:

Second. The Greiner Co. had not

remain in the Government in key
positions.
I had extensive discussions with former
members of the Parliament who today
oppose the present regime and were very
frank and forthright to me in their crit-
icism.
I had a 2-hour conversation with
former Prime Minister, George Papan-
dreou, who is presently under house ar-
rest in his villa in Athens. Mr. Papan-
dreou, speaking in halting English, was
very frank in his conversations with me,
and said he found my visit most wel-
come.
I spoke extensively with publishers of
Greek newspapers who are now operat-
ing under rigid rules of censorship, and
they were extremely frank in their con-
versations with me.
I talked at great length with the
American representative to the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization, stationed
in Athens.
I talked to a number of American ob-
servers and businessmen who were in
Greece at the time of the revolution and
who, since April 21, have had an oppor-
tunity to carefully review the actions of
the present Goveihment and the attitude
of the Greek people toward this Gov-
ernment,
I spent countless hours in discussions
*ith Greek businessmen, labor leaders,
financiers, and just plain ordinary citi-
zens in the streets and villages.
I discussed the present situation with
our own American diplomatic represent-
atives.
Mr. Speaker, I took an extensive heli-
copter flight over northern Greece and
personally viewed the extensive damage
done to a large number of villages by
the recent earthquakes. I saw some 6,500
Greek families living in canvas tents and
badly damaged homes?many without
roofs?fearful of what will happen when
cold weather sets in very shortly.
Finally, Mr. Speaker, I visited the
island of Yarros, which is about 1 hour's
helicopter flight from Athens and which
houses the prison of some 2,500 political
prisoners.
I believe that I am the only foreigner
to have ever visited this island, and I
took along with me my own State De-
partment translator. I personally heard
the prisoners addressed by General
Patakos, and I had an opportunity to see
firsthand the conditions which exist on.
the island and the attitude of the pris-
oners.
Mr. Speaker, I can assure my colleagues
in Congress that my search for the truth
in Greece was most exhaustive, and I am
grateful to the Pan Arcadian Federation
for making possible this personal observ-
ance of the present situation there.
From my extensive conversations and
personal observations, I have come to the
conclusion that:
First. It is in the interest of the United
States for our country to resume ship-
ment of important military aid to Greece
as part of our NATO defense structure.
Second. It is in our national interest
- for the United States to provide the
people of Greece with disaster relief of at
least $15 million to help the victims of
the earthquake avoid extreme hardships
when winter hits their canvas tents.
Third. It is in the interest of the
United States to press for restoration of
parliamentary government in Greece,
and this can be done by giving the pres-
ent Government of Greece technical as-
sistance to meet many of the civilian
poblems which the generals, by the very
nature of their military background,
will find difficulty in solving; we should
help this Government develop a demo-
cratic base for restoration of constitu-
tional government.
Fourth. It is important for the
United States to help King Constantine
press the present military regime to re-
store parliamentary government to
Greece as quickly as possible.
Mr. Speaker, I do not want my ob-
servations or my remarks ever to be con-
strued as condoning a government which
would deny its people basic civil rights.
But neither would I ever want to be
blinded by the realities of life, and one
of those realities is that the military re-
gime presently is in control of Greece.
Furthermore, this regime has stated
publicly and unequivocally that it sup-
ports America's position in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization and will
keep Greece in NATO.
Our Nation cannot, and must not,
ignore the fact that the crisis in the
Middle East is not over. The Soviet Union
continues to have her evil designs for the
destruction of Israel. We may need
Greece as our most reliable base if the
situation in the Middle East should
worsten. During the recent crisis, Greece
stood with us and helped relocate Ameri-
cans from the Middle East.
Whether you like it or not, the present
Government of Greece is there; it is a
reality; and, on the basis of my most
honest and sincere studies, right now this
Government has the popular support of
the people of Greece.
There are those who would challenge
this statement and I respect their views.
But the fact remains that if an elec-
tion were to be held in Greece today,
responsible people in Greece?including
the most bitter critics of the present
regime?told me that the present mili-
tary government would be overwhelm-
ingly elected because it has restored order
out of chaos in this country.
I know there are those who will seri-
ously question this conclusion, but the
fact of the matter is that the people in
the streets of Athens and in the villages
told me that conditions had gotten so
intolerable in Greece prior to April 21,
that a revolution was inevitable.
Many people told me that when the
revolution finally occurred on the morn-
ing of April 21, and the military leaders
took over, the general reaction of the
people of Greece was: "What took them
so long in coming?"
As a matter of fact, Mr. Speaker, one
of the leaders of the revolution told me:
Congressman, we didn't even have to
stretch; we just yawned and 81/2 million
people rolled over into our lap.
? It is a matter of fact that not a single
shot was fired and not a person was killed
in this bloodless revolution. It is also a
matter of fact that the conservative press
had been predicting this revolution for
some time before April 21.
I can find no comfort in the fact that
NATO tanks were rolled into the streets
of Athens on the morning of the revolu-
tion, nor can we ignore the fact that the
present rulers of Greece have instituted
a whole series of repressive moves, from
severe censorship of the press to suppres-
sion of the constitution, and the Parlia-
ment to a literal substitution of judicial
process with a system of military courts.
Nor could anyone ever seriously defend
the limitations on assembly imposed by
this regime which require that whenever
more than five people meet, the names
and addresses of all those attending a
meeting?including even a family re-
union?must be supplied to the local po-
lice and permission must be obtained for
such a meeting. I have been assured this
limitation will be dropped very shortly,
and even now is not being enforced.
I am sure it is of deep concern to all
of us that the new slander law in Greece
imposed by the Government makes every
citizen subject to arrest and prosecution
if he speaks out in any manner and criti-
cizes to any degree the present Govern-
ment.
These are police tactics which we, as
Americans and free people everywhere,
find contemptible and repugnant to our
way of life.
But the military leaders hasten to
assure visitors to Greece that these
measures were necessary to restore
order, and will be removed just as quickly
as possible. A casual visitor to Greece
would not know the military rule the
country. There are no soldiers in the
streets or hotels, people walk freely in
the streets; the restaurants and night
clubs are operating as usual. Visitors are
treated with exceptional care and
courtesy,
The military rulers of Greece have
assured King Constantine that they will
have the Constitution rewritten as
quickly as possible and presented to a
plebiscite?perhaps even this year?and
that elections of delegates to the Parlia-
ment will be held as quickly as possible.
I am aware of those who argue that in
the last 4 months, during which this
military regime has governed Greece, it
has not shown any evidence that it in-
tends to keep its pledge to restore parlia-
mentary government.
In my judgment, Mr. Speaker, fair
play dictates a corollary observation, and
that is, that in these same 4 months, the
military has not shown any evidence
that it does not intend to keep its pledge.
It is easy enough for us Americans?
deeply set in traditions of democracy?
to insist that the Government institute
constitutional rule in Greece before any
further assistance is given. I would sub-
scribe to this doctrine, but I think it is
important to know that in a country
whose northern border has three nations
under Communist rule?the fear of its
leaders are justified.
Greece has Albania, Bulgaria, and Yu-
goslavia on her northern border. History
has shown us there is no "second chance"
with communism.
You do not have any time to be wrong
when you have three neighbors who
would like to plunge you into the Com-
munist orbit at the first opportunity.

mr: Speaker, among the people I
cussed all these matters with, I found
that even the most bitter critics a this
Govt*rinient admit the Constitutional
Revi don Committee is made up of fair

thro,ighout Greece that this Constitu-
tional Revisidn Committee will present
a series of meaningful and helpful

that we have built in Greece with Ameri-

and the people of the United States of
America, a bond of friendship and loyalty
that I am sure will transcend all time.
Finally, Mr. Speaker, I flew Co the
*Island of 'arros, and I visited the prison
there. It is an hour's helicopter flight
from Athens. There had been about 6,500
political prisoners on this island since
April 21. Most of them were charged with
some form of Communist activity since
the civil war in 19417, and many of them
had already previously served sentences
for this activity. Some 4,000 have been re-
leased and have been sent back to their
home. Qf the 2,500 remaining, 227 were
women of various ages.
I saw the general talking to these peo-
ple, telling them, "Look, you do not be-
long on this island' we do not want you
here; what we want you to do is to make
an oral declaration, or sign a statement
that you will not conspire with the Com-
munists to overthrow this government
and then you are free to go home."
Mr. Speaker, I recall one incident in
particular. 'there was a young mother
in a room with three other women. She
was a mother of three children. She her-
self was about 28 years old. The picture
of her three children was over her cot
on the wall.
The general said:
You do not belong here; your children
need you; why do you not go home and be
a good mother to them; leave the politics to
others; you be a good mother. All you-have to
do is to Make an oral statement that you are
nOt going to conspire with the Communists
to overthrow this- Governmept, and we will
have you home tonight. I cannot tell you
what to think. It you want to think Com-
munist, this is your privilege. No one can
look into the depths of your mind, but we
can ask you not to conspire with the Com-
mimists to overthrow this Governmep.t.
Mr. Speaker, the young woman put her
feet up on the bed and she looked the
general in the eye and said:
I was born a. leftist; I think leftist; and I
will die a leftist; thank you but I am going to
stay here.
After talking to about a thousand of
these people, it is difficult not to believe
that this particular group are hard-core
Communists who consider their ,impris-
onrnent a. acrifice to their cause.
Mr. Speaker, I do not want _American
foreign policy to be dictated by the 2,500
people who are on that island at the
present time. I saw the personal efforts
which we. being made to Urge these peo-
ple to leave the island; more than 4,000
have responded and have been releaged.
I had my own interpreter there so that
?there would be no mistake about what
was being said. I am convinced that
every effort is being made to let these
people go home. However, these people
obviously believe in their cause with a
fervor. They are entitled to their beliefs,
and I believe the Government has made
a serious blunder in arresting them in
.the first place. I could not defend their
arrests, but the fact of the Matter is that
L
Sp, Mr. Speaker, when we hear about
2,500 prisoners on the Island of Yarros,
they are living under conditions similar
to many prisons in our own country.
They sleep on canvas cots. The food is
reasonable. The dormitories are clean.
These people 'feel they are making a
great contribution and great sacrifice
to their cause, and they made no secret
in proclaiming this to the general when
he visited them.
One of the interesting aspects of this
visit was the firrnness with which these
prisoners talked to the general. They
denly argued that they should be re-
leased but not a single person offered to
make the declaration not to conspire
against the Government.
I am the only foreigner who has visited
the island. It is my belief that most of
these people will accede to the pledge
not to conspire against the Government
and will be released.
'So, Mr: Speaker, it would seem to me
that we have an obligation to review the
situation in Greece. I believe that cer-
tainly we ought to study all the aspects
of the situation. I believe that we should
help King Constantine, who was here just
the other day.
King Constantine is holding these
leaders to their promise that they will
restore constitutional government as
qUickly as possible. King Constantine said
"All I want from you is time, understand-
ing and patience."
It seems to me that the alternative to
working with these people is to isolate
them; to isolate these military leaders,
and let them compound their errors and
with each error tighten the noose around
the people.
History shows that every revolution be-
gets another revolution. Every revolution
provokes another revolution. This was a
bloodless revolution. No one can predict
what its successor may be like.
In my judgment it would be a mistake
to isolate these people. I feel perhaps the
better policy would be to try to work with
them and continue to apply American
pressure to make sure that they keep
their pledge of restoring parliamentary
government to this country.
One thing is certain, Mr. Speaker, for
better or worse, this Government in
Greece is dh record as standing with us
against communism. Who can say what
any other government born out of civil
war may do as regards its relation to us.
We have the pledge of King Constan-
tine, an honorable man, who says he will
continue Pressuring his Government for
restoration of parliamentary govern-
ment.
We have something much deeper, Mr.
Speaker. We have a tradition among the
Greek people themselves. The most col-
losal mistake this Government could
make would be to try to renege on its
pledge to restore parliamentary govern-
ment to the people of Greece.
The Greeks originated democracy.
The Greeks have a long and stubborn
history of struggle for freedom and
democracy.
j1194
The Greeks were the first ones in 1947
who, against great odds, stood up to the
Communists, and suffered great losses
to protect their country for freedom.
Mr. Speaker, I will stake my hopes
and my confidence on the people of
Greece. I am confident the people of
Greece will force this Government to
keep its pledge to restore parliamentary
government.
But the problem today before us as
Americans is not to let our NATO de-
fense be,,come so weak that this Govern-
ment will have to either drop out of
NATO or we will be an open target for
Communist aggression.
It is my hope that we will help King
Constantine return Greece to its tradi-
tional role as the cradle of democracy.
It is my hope also that we Americans
are going to look soberly at this problem
of helping the economy of Greece and
helping Greece militarily. By giving
Greece NATO help, we are not condon-
ing denial of constitutional government
to that country. The indisputable fact
of the day is that in this troubled world,
with great trouble in the Middle East,
'with great trouble in Europe, with great
trouble in Asia, I submit, Mr. Speaker,
America needs Greece today great deal
more than Greece needs us.

ability and integrity with a deep dedi-

and his life and works are eloquent tes-
timony to the contribution that immi-

with his parents, Mr. Cavicchia gradu-
ated from American International Col-
lege with a B.A. degree in 1906 and
received his LL.B. from New York Uni-
