Civil Defense Chief Sought Amid Controversy in Congress
Washington Dec 1 A plan to appoint a single civil defense chief with vast powers and a $17 500 yearly salary faces heated debate in Congress.

It foresees dollar for dollar federal matching for state projects but bars federal pay for state personnel. Provisions on foreign pact approvals with Canada Mexico and Cuba spark anticipated opposition.
