EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday. May 13, 1963 Pigs SA Withholding Measure Tax Bill's Prospects Improved WASHINGTON Oft President Kennedy's proposal for tax withholding on dividends and interest has; improved its position in the Senate Finance Committee, Democratic members said Saturday, but is still far from being out of the woods. Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-IU., told a reporter things are look ing up for the plan in view of the Kennedy administration's Vigorous push for it this past week. The President answered what he said were misconceptions about the proposal at his news conference Wednesday. Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon took up the cudgels for the proposal in his testimony Thursday and Friday, closing 1 Senate committee hearings on Industrialists Support JFK Tariff Move HOT SPRINGS, Va. Wl Strong support within the Busi ness Council for President Ken nedy's trade and tariff program was disclosed Saturday as the organization of top corporation executives wound up its spring meeting. Presidential assistant Howard Petersen invited the 100 indus trialists to prepare studies of foreign market situations and import competition to help U.S. negotiators in the bargaining of broad tariff reductions which would be authorized under leg islation pending in Congress. Assumes Enactment Petersen told reporters after the closed session that he was Assuming enactment of Ken nedy's trade expansion program, and added: "I didn't try to sell the tariff proposals to these people, be cause I had a real sense, from my knowledge of this group, that they were already sold." The council, made up of the heads of scores of the country's biggest corporations, never takes formal positions on public issues, but has a history of sup porting freer trade and lower tariffs. Juan Trippe, president of Pan American World Airways, Inc., disclosed that the council has had an informal committee at work on the trade expansion bill for six months. An Advisory Role He told the council that rep resentatives of industry, as well as of labor and farm groups, should be given an advisory role in the drafting of the U.S. bargaining position in ncgotia' tions with the European Com- on Market. This provision, omitted from Kennedy's propo sal, has now been restored to the legislation. the tax revision bill. Douglas said he felt Dillon had refuted completely the points made against withhold ing. However, Sen. Eugene J. Mc Carthy, D-Minn., said in a sep arate interview that the provi sion probably is in worse shape on the floor than it is in com mittee. McCarthy noted that all sena tors have received a flood of mail opposing the plan from sav ers and investors, and said that even some administration sup porters have sent replies com mitting themselves against it. The mail has been tapering off and many committee mem bers have been wary about tak ing a public position on the is sue, for fear of inspiring anoth er deluge. A check of the 17 members in dicated a potential eight votes for withholding, all Democrats, with seven opposed including all six Republicans on the commit tee. That would leave two Democratic senators holding the deciding votes. The senators polled asked that their names not be used. There could be many changes before the committee gets around to voting. It is only one of many controversial features in the tax revision bill, and no decisions are expected before June.

Chairman John L. McClellan, D-Ark., of the Senate sub committee which is looking into possible Estes influence deals with Washington officials, told a reporter he believes the indicted financier is ready to talk. The two veteran investigators are Donald F. O'Donnell, acting chief counsel to the subcommittee; and Paul E. Kam erick, assistant chief counsel. McClellan disclosed that staff members have interviewed Jerry R. Holleman, who resigned as $20,000-a-year assistant aecretary of labor Friday night after saying he had accepted $1,000 as a personal gift from Estes to help meet living ex penses. , . Holleman, fromer president of the Texas AFL-CIO, has often been at odds with Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson in Texas political matters in the past. However, he served as executive secretary of President Kennedy's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunities, headed by Johnson. McClellan did not disclose the nature of the questioning of Holleman, who said in a resignation letter to Kennedy that Estes had been a close personal friend of his for 10 years. McClellan said in a statement that Secretary of Labor Ar thur J. Goldberg had given him assurances of his personal cooperation and that of his department in connection with the inquiry into the Estes case. Goldberg called the Holleman incident regrettable but said his assistant had taken the proper cojrse of action in resigning. Holleman was the first top-rank Kennedy administration official to bow out as a result of the investigation of the multimillion-dollar dealings of the 37 year-old Estes in grain stor age and cotton acreage allotments. Previously Emery Jacobs, deputy administrator of the Agriculture Department's Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation Service, quit with a denial that he had received any gifts from Estes. William E. Morris, an Agriculture De partment official, was discharged after his name cropped up in a Texas investigation. Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman, nimseir under Republican fire for not acting more speedily in the Inquiry, has under consideration the case of James T. Ralph, former assistant secretary, whose name has been linked to that of ES'lt was disclosed also that Carl J. Miller, who was praised by Freeman earlier in the week for not giving any special favors to Estes, had been transferred from his Job as federal grain warehousing director. Miller said his motives and In tegrity were not questioned. McClellan said in his statement that his subcommittee had subpoenaed all of the bank records relating to Estes' financial dealings. He said subpoenas covered 42 different accounts In nine banks. McClellan said that all of the records of various Estes" business enterprises now in the hands of a court-appointed receiver, Harry Moore, have been subpoenaed and art being reviewed. ir r 1 1 i r r rr r n Comfort and Timeless Beauty are Yours in Early American Settings that are Group Priced to Save You Dollars!
