Journalistic 'Myths' Scored By Salinger
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Presidential Press Secretary Pierre Salinger says there are three "journalistic myths" about the Kennedy Administration.
Speaking before the closing session of the National Conference of United Press International editors and publishers last night, Salinger listed these "myths" as;
- "The President has had a terrible time with congress and none of his legislation has been passed.
- "The President and the members of his administration spend many of their waking hours trying to harass business and businessmen.
- "The President and those around him are sensitive about the press."
On Congress, Salinger said that "only two weeks ago one of our great weekly organs of public opinion stated flatly that about all the President had been able to get through Congress had been appropriations for state and defense."
Salinger said that by the time Congress adjourns it will have passed almost 70 per cent of the President's requested legislation.
He said accomplishments of Congress included the first major Housing Bill in 11 years, the Trade Bill, establishment of the Peace Corps, authorization of the Alliance for Pregress, passage of the United Nations bond issue and creation of the Communications Satellite Corporation.
REFERRING TO THE "myth of the anti-business administration," Salinger said that "even at the height of all the stories about how the administration was abusing business, a Gallup poll showed that only 16 per cent of businessmen themselves believed it.
"President Kennedy," he said, "believes that a healthy climate for business is good for the entire country. We have attempted to create that climate."
Salinger said that "perhaps the press is getting too sensitive for its own good."

HUTCHINSON — (UPI) — There may have been a stool pigeon among the mourning doves an alleged member of Chicago's underworld is accused of taking out of Kansas.
He was released under $1,000 bond when his case was continued yesterday at Chicago until Oct. 15.
"We couldn't have done it alone, I'll tell you that." a federal agent said, discussing the case of Joseph (Joey) Aiuppa. But the agent would not elaborate.
A. J. Robinson, U.S. game management agent for Kansas, said "Aluppa and his party had been under surveillance for some time during their hunting in the Pittsburg area of southeast Kansas.
Catch of Mourning Doves May Have Held Stool Pigeon
Ailupa was arrested yesterday at his home in the Chicago suburb of Elmhurst, Ill., charged with possession of 450 mourning doves from Kansas. Possession limit is 24.
"How long, I cannot say because the case is still pending. We know that two men left Pittsburgh the other day with a big batch of mourning doves, but we can't say how many men were in Aiuppa's party.
Federal agents said they found the

Meanwhile, Kansas fish and game commission officials appeared skeptical about Aiupua's prowess as a gamesman. A spokesman said he would have had to "bring an army and stay a long time" to bag the number of doves he is charged with taking.
