t The News-Review, Roscburg, Kennedy Infant's Fight For Air Proves Too Much For Tiny Heart (Continued from Page 1) early afternoon because of a de cline in the infant's condition. The child's breathing improved after he was placed in the huge pressure chamber which provided needed oxygen for his tiny lungs. But at 2:10 a.m. KDT, the President was awakened in h i s fourth floor room at the hospital and advised to go to the chamber on the ground level. About 20 minutes later, he was joined by his brother, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, and his long lime associate and White House receptionist David Powers, who had been staying at the Presi dent's downtown hotel and had been called to the hospital to be with Kennedy. Remained An Hour The President, his brother, and Powers went to an area near the pressure chamber and remained there aDDroximately an hour. Salinger said the President went back to his room at about 3:10 a.m. EDT.

Rob ert Y. Thornton said his staff is considering going to the U. S. Court of Claims to try to get it. Because of a dispute over state gasoline tax rebates, the federal government claims it Is owed, the U.S. general accounting office has withheld payment of more than $23,000 to the Oregon Fish Com mission, nearly SG.OOO from the Oregon Game Commission and about $1,500 from the Stale High way Commission. At issue is a slate gasoline lax charged against federal motor pools in I960 and 1981. Before that time and since the state has given the federal gov ernment a rebate on the tax. Thornton said that during 1960 and 1961 there was a lapse in the exception law and no rebate was provided for the federal govern ment. In retaliation the General Ac counting Office withheld payment nf federal grand funds lo the three slate agencies, Thornton ex plained.

The President had telephoned Mrs. Kennedy at least twice dur ing the day to tell her not to wor ry, the child was feeling better. President Appeared Grim This had increased optimism about the child's condition, but it was suspected among some peo ple in the traveling White House group that the President had been consoling his wife in a husbandly way but was deeply worried. Kennedy was grim-faced when he returned to the hospital dur ing the afternoon after getting word that the baby's condition had worsened. But as the after noon and evening wore on, he seemed to be just a bit more at case, smiling faintly at cheering Reckless Driving Count Jails Local Resident David William Hanks, 22, of 982 W.

His special flight landed here after a day of informal, shirt sleeve talks with the vacationing Soviet leader at Gagra on the Russian Riviera. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko arrived with him. Rusk started his day early at Khrushchev's vacation villa after spending the night in a nearby government guest house with members of his party. The Soviet premier, in obvious. ly good spirits, introduced Rusk i and his party to members of his family and even suggested that they take a swim in his heated , pool before getting down to se ' rious discussions.

This would be the first leasing of offshore lands in the Pacific Northwest by the Federal Govern ment. The area currently has no production of oil and gas. Under Secretary of the Interior James K. Carr, chairman of the Department's Offsho.e Oil Com millee, said plans call for com petitive sealed bids for leases on specific tracts to be received Oct. 1, liMi'l. Prospective lesees m u s t now indicate offshore areas on which they are interested in drilling for oil and gas. Nominations must be submitted not later than Nov. 1. Carr said, "It is our view that a successful program for explora tion in the offshore area will make a substantial contribution to employment and to economic ac tivity in the Pacific Northwest. Accordingly, the Department's timetable for the sale has been calculated to afford interested parlies sufficient time for thorough seismic work in advance of the sale date." Oil firms have been exploring off the Oregon coast under state permits but no oil has been found. Actuary To Speak At Hotel Saturday K. P.

After a picture-taking session for the Soviet and Western news men covering the talks, Khrush chev led Rusk and his group to the veranda of a recreation build ing near the main house. Just before they got down to serious discussions, Khrushchev stepped inside and removed his jacket. He came out wearing a loose-fitting, collarless Ukrainian shirt. Rusk Removes Jacket Rusk removed his jacket also to keep in step with the informal atmosphere. Khrushchev's relaxed mood was evident when he gave orders to let startled newsmen enjoy them selves on his estate. "Let the correspondents go as they like, go for a stroll or go bathing or anything they want," Jie said. Look over fcsrare A surprised aide put the bath house and other recreation facili ties at the disposal of the news men. The Americans fanned out on the estate to see as much as I much as possible. Rusk, who flew here Thursday from Leningrad with a short stop over in Moscow, was returning to the Soviet capital later today. i Diplomatic sources in the So- vict capital said Rusk, planned to "cover the waterfront in his talks with Khrushchev. They said Rusk's discussions may range from major cold war issues to the question of freeing an imprisoned American. Rusk, who came to Moscow to sign the nuclear test ban treaty, has remained to hold talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and Khrushchev on pos sible further progress in easing the cold war. He flew Thursday to Khrush chev's holiday villa near the Black Sea resort of Gagra and was due back in the capital lat er today. Both sides have expressed the hope that the treaty banning nu clear tests in the air, outer space, and under water is "only a beginning" of steps to case tension between East and West. But there appear to be differ ences over what slep to take next. Khrushchev has pressed for a non-aggression pact between NATO and the Warsaw treaty al liance. The United States is more con cerned with the security of Ber lin and with the Soviet suggestion that means be found lo guard against surprise attack by either side. Berlin has taken on new . im portance in the thinking of the American delegation, which also includes Ambassador Foy D. Kohler and the former ambassa dor to Moscow, Llewellyn D. Thompson. This is because of fears Khrushchev's n o n -aggression treaty plan might pose new dangers for Berlin's security. Rusk will fly to Bonn Saturday to discuss these and other impli cations of Ihe East-West talks with West German officials. The Bonn givernmcnt has been reluc tant to sign the test ban treaty, fearing it would imply recogni tion of Communist East Ger many, and opposes the non-aggression treaty for the same rea sons.

Insurance companies hit by the loss offered a record reward of more than half a million dollars for capture of the mail train rob bers and recovery of the loot. Officials said the known loss thus far in Thursday's "great train robbery" now totaled $7, 005,600 with the ultimate figure expected to run as high as $8.4 million. As the reward money piled up House Demos Are Agreed On Tax Cuts WASHINGTON (UPI) - Key Democrats on the House Ways & Means Committee have agreed tentatively on broad outlines of a formula for cutting income taxes by nearly $10 billion in two steps. Although President Kennedy last January called for a net $10.4 billion cut, the compromise has administration support and is ex pected to win committee approval next week. The first cut in individual and corporate taxes would come next Jan. 1 and the remainder on Jan. 1, 1965. Under Kennedy's plan the first cut would have taken effect retroactively on July 1, 1963 and the last on Jan. 1, 1965. Three Main Points The three main elements of the compromise are: Individual tax rates, which now range from 20 to 91 per cent, would he scaled down to a range of from 15 to 75 per cent. Ken nedy proposed a range of 1465 per cent. The compromise would cost $8.7 billion in revenue instead of the $11 billion under Kennedy's plan. The 52 per cent lax on cor- porate income would be cut to 48 per cent, instead of 47 per cent as recommended by Ken nedy. This would reduce the $2.6 billion in revenue loss envisioned in Kennedy's program. -Structural revisions would be made in tax law to produce a net gain of about $1 billion or more in new offsetting revenue. There would have been i a net gain of about $3.2 billion if Con gress had enacted all the re visions sought by Kennedy. The committee already has stamped its final approval on structural revisions that would yield a net gain of between $600 million and $700 million in new revenue and may boost this total to about $1 billion. Revisions Come First II docs not plan to turn its at tention to rate cuts until it has finished work on structural re visions. By rejecting many of the con troversial revenue - producing re visions recommended by Kennedy the committee apparently has as sured that every taypaycr would get at least some tax relief un der the compromise tax bill. The reduction would be 25 per cent for those individual taxpay ers who use the standard reduc tion for personal expenses and who have taxable incomes of no more than $1,000. The 25 per cent cut would apply also to married couples with taxable incomes ot no more than $2,000. Under existing law the lowest tax rate of 20 per cent applies to the first $2,000 in taxable in come for an individual and the first $4,000 in taxable income for a married couple. The compromise plan would split this $2,0O0-$4,00O first bracket into two brackets. It would apply a rate of 15 per cent to the new first bracket ($1,000 for a sin gle person and $2,000 for a mar ried couple.) away already bv Rose- the Store ROSEBURG PHARMACY SANDER'S SHOE SEARS ROEBUCK LUVERNE'S PAYLESS DRUG TROWBRIDGE ELECTRIC REYNOLDS-RUSHTON MUSIC HORN'S A , E CAFE in hopes of inducing a "squeal er" to offer information about the gang who staged the smoothly-efficient ambush of the Glas-gow-to - London train, Scotland Yard and post office security men scoured the 1 countryside without a single clue. The bandits appeared to have vanished with their huge haul of cash and gems which they took from 120 mail sacks and carted away in trucks and a car in Thursday's pre-dawn darkness. There was a possibility the loot and at least some of the robbers already were out of the country. The London Evening News quot ed an unidentified man as saying he saw an airplane land and take off again in a hurry at a disused airfield near the site of the train robbery and at about the time it took place Thursday. As police explored this latest mystery phase of the robbery, staged by bandits whose faces were masked by women's stock ings and who were armed with crowbars, blackjacks and guns, the insurance brokers offered $560,000 in reward n-.oney. Individual banks which had shipments of cash in vary ing amounts en route to the Bank of England in London added their own rewards to the insur ance brokers' offer. Officials said they felt the amount of the re ward money almost certainly would tempt some member of the underworld to furnish some leads to the robber gang, whose number originally was estimated at from 20 to 30 but which may have been smaller. i-im-:ii- H The gigantic record offer was made by the firms of Hart and Co. and Tonlis and Harding, insurance assessors. As Scotland Yard stepped up one of history's greatest hian hunls, some of the banks affect ed increased their original re ward offers. The Midland Bank, for instance boosted its offer from $70,000 to $140,000. as the nation's banks began to learn just exactly what they had lost in the wild West style train robbery.

A post office spokes man said there were no armed guards on the train, a usual practice since it has been felt that the large force of mail sort ers normally was enough to keep watch. This is contrary to American practice, where a minimum of at least two armed "clerks" or guards are aboard every U.S. mail train.
