Korth wrote President Kennedy that he made the decision to resign be cause of "pressing private af fairs." Kennedy said Paul Nitze, now assistant defense secretary for international security af fairs, would be nominated to to succeed Korth, a former Fort Worth, Tex., banker. Korth, in his letter of rcsigna tion to the President, said he was leaving the post with "tho utmost regret." Korth asked that his resigna tion take effect Nov. 1. He said he wanted to "re turn to private business and at tend to my pressing private affairs." Korth was among Defense Department officials who fig ured in the explosive Senate in vcstigation of the TFX war- plane contract award. The President, in a "Dear Fred" letter, praised Korth for his "real contribution to the ad vancement of United States na tional security interests."

But the change was not expected to soften Peking's hard line. 1 Mao, who wilt be 70 in De cember, turned over the presi dency in 1959 to Liu Shao-chi, his close collaborator for more than 20 years. Liu was consid ered the most likely candidate to succeed him in the more powerful party post. Mao considers himself the "Chinese Lenin" and is be lieved to want more time to work on Marxist-Leninist ideol ogy. Stepping into the role ol elder statesman would enable him to do this. Ideology figures strongly in the Sino-Soviet split. Peking contends its Communists are fol lowing the true doctrines and the modifications introduced by Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev are "revisionist" heresy. (In Moscow, informed sources said Sunday that a summit con ference of the world's major Communist parties would , be held there next month to review the split with Peking.

For many years newspapers used 13-ems for column width. The "em" is a measure of type w i d t h, approximate ly 1lGlh of an inch. A good many years ago the width was dropped to 12-ems. The modern trend is to an 11-em column, found in The News Review today. Press services formerly have sent out their news on a 12-em column, Teletypeset ter tape is punched directly from transmitting offices in central bureaus. UPI today switched its transmission to 11-ems after several months of preparation in the mechani cal departments of member papers. The result is to be observed in today's News-Review.

For one thing, Liu is as firm as Mao in advocating war and-, violent revolution1 to" extend' world communism, and as bit. ter in his attacks on Khrush chev's peaceful co-existence. . For another, Mao could be expected to remain a formida ble figure in the background after retirement, elvinir advise and guidance to his successor and having the power and Dres- uge to make it stick. Nevertheless, i'the prospects of a change revived speculation about Hie possibility of a siilit in the ranks of Peking's leaders over the dispute with Moscow. Last week. Premier Cliou En- lai made a comparatively mild speech on the Sino-Soviet con flict. Chou, it has been suggest ed, agreed at least in part with ousted Minister of Defense Marshal Peng Teh-huai, who advocated a renewal of close tics with Khrushchev. Peng. who was dismissed in 1959. also criticized Mao's great leap for ward policy, which has been largely abandoned.

In less than a month he got 55.000 certified signatures, and thousands more which county clerks didn't have time to certify.

The state Democratic Central Committee and many civic or ganizations have voiced support. But support is not unanimous. The Republican State Central committee refused to take a stand, and somo civic groups have urged defeat of the bill. Rep. Ross Morgan, D-Gresh-am, has charged sales tax sup porters were working to defeat the tax increase to set the stage fur adoption of a sales tax. Some polls have indicated there was growing support for enact ment of a tax on cigarettes.
