EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed., June 13, 1962 Page 3A Wags, Means Chief: Cut in Taxes Not Favored WASHINGTON W The chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee says he does not support proposals for an across the board tax cut. The statement Tuesday by Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark posed an immediate threat to President Kennedy's announced intention of seeking a tax cut from Congress early next year. In another development, Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Minn., (aid Wednesday he is considering trying to write a general tax cut wis year into the Kennedy administration's tax revision bill now before the Senate Finance Committee. Mills, who heads the committee that handles all tax legisla tion in the House, said while testifying before another House "You have not heard Air Agency Points Out Danger Spot WASHINGTON l A me chanic's oversight, a tiny cot ter pin and a bolt less than an inch long could have been the ingredients of disaster in the New York crash of a jet liner, the Federal Aviation Agency lays. Ninety-five people were killed when the American Airlines Boeing 707 plunged into Jamai ca Bay on March 1, seconds after taking off from Idlewild Airport. The FAA said the bolt, part of a complex rudder mechan ism, may have slipped out of place when a nut securing it fell off-for lack of the little cotter pin. The agency wired airlines and other organizations that fly 707 jets Tuesday, warning them of the potential danger spot One such warning went to the Mili tary Air Transport Service, which operates the Boeing jets used by President Kennedy and other government leaders. George C. Prill, director of the FAA flight standards serv ice, said the New York crash "could have been the result of an installation mistake by one man on one aircraft." "We do not see this as a possible explanation for any other 707 crash about which we have any information," he said. "But it would not be the first time that an airplane crashed because a mechanic left a cotter pin out of a bolt. "You cannot say this is It we can never prove it happened even though it could have hap pened." Prill said the Civil Aeronau tics Board still is investigating the New York crash and will make the final decision on the probable cause. Kennedy Schedules Press Conference WASHINGTON l,1V-President Kennedy will hold a news con ference Thursday at 1 p.m., PDT. Reversing a previous White House announcement that there would be no presidential meet ing with newsmen this week, Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said signals were switched be cause Kennedy's schedule opened up, thus allowing time for the conference. committee, me advocating tax reduction this year or next year. "I have not committed myself to that course of action. I have not said I would be for a reduc tion in our total revenues while we are scpnding more than we are taking in." Kennedy has proposed a tax cut next year as a means of stimulating the economy and re ducing unemployment. Mills conferred with Kennedy at the White House shortly after his appearance before the House Rules Committee. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger said the meeting had been arranged before Mills made his remarks and that the White House had no comment on the congressman's statement. Mills told the committee that he favors a broad scale revision of tax laws which the adminis tration is expected to propose as a companion measure with the tax cut. But he made it plain he won't support a meas ure that might throw the budget for the next fiscal year out of balance, adding to the national debt. Another tax revision bill fig ured in McCarthy's statement to newsmen that he might try for a tax cut this year. The bill has two controversial provisions a tax credit for businessmen who invest in new machinery and equipment and withholding of income taxes due on dividends and interest. Esti mates are the investment tax credit would cost the Treasury $1.35 billion a year in revenues but that the withholding meas ure would bring in about $650 million not now being collected McCarthy suggested it would be possible to substitute a $1.5- bimon corporate income tax cut for the tax credit provision. He said the proposal also might include about $3 billion in personal income tax reduc tions, plus specific congression al approval of the more than $1 billion in tax relief already promised business by the Ken nedy administration in the form of revised depreciation sched ules. The new schedules are ex pected this summer. McCarthy, like his Minnesota colleague, assistant Democratic leader Hubert Humphrey, said if the economy needs a tax cut boost then he sees no need to wait until the 1963 session of Congress. The Finance Committee, of which McCarthy is a member, worked on the controversial re vision bill Tuesday in a secret session with Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon. Auto Exhaust! Suspected In Lung Cancer WASHINGTON (UPD The Public Health Service has told Congress that air pollution from auto exhaust may play a role in lung cancer and that "all prac tical steps should be taken to reduce the hazard while studies continue. Highlights of the report of a two-year study were published in Tuesday's Congressional Rec ord by Rep. Paul F. Schenck, R Ohio, who said the air pollution problem is a complex one call ing for continued exploration. Dr. Luther Terry, surgeon general of the Public Health Service, told the congressmen his agency was assigning a high priority to its pollution studies. He indicated they would take several years. Meantime, he said, "It is im portant that as needed research proceeds on the problem of pol lution emissions from motor vehicles, all practicable steps be taken to minimize such pol lution rather than waiting until the results of needed research are available." Referring to research on lab oratory animals exposed to ozo nized gasoline and influenza in fection, the report said, "it would appear . , , that there is evidence that air pollutants, re lated to vehicular emissions, play a role at least as a cofactor in the production of lung can cers under these conditions. i mini nn nft at hsii in milium i tailininiiil 'nmnmiii-iinriiriiimr,rri'' ' --- JFK's Guest (APWirephoto) President Kennedy and his guest.

Lodge Won't Fight for GOP Nomination WESTPORT, Conn. Wl John Davis Lodge, calling for an end to Republican factionalism in Connecticut, has decided against waging a primary fight for the U.S. Senate nomination. Lodge, former governor and ambassador to Spain under the Dwight D. Eisenhower adminis tration, Tuesday night threw his support behind Rep. Horace Seely-Brown Jr., who received the party's endorsement at the state convention last week. Seely-Brown, an eastern Con necticut apple grower, beat Lodge 476 to 149. Under a state law, Lodge was entitled to challenge the con vention's decision in a statewide primary because he had received at least 10 per cent of the con vention vote. "Thoughtful consideration has confirmed my decision not to enter a primary for the Repub lican nomination," Lodge said Tuesday night. . . "I think it urgent, now that the delegates have made their decision, that factionalism and personal hopes be subordinated to party unity." Lodge is a brother of Henry S, C. Senator Beats Qovernor in Vote COLUMBIA, S.C. Ifl U.S. Sen. Olin D. Johnston handed young South Carolina Gov. Er nest t. Hollings a shattering po litical defeat Tuesday, winning their battle for Senate nomina tion by a landslide margin of nearly 21. With 1,504 of 1,604 precincts reporting, Johnston had 183,607 votes to 95.185 for Hollings. This gave Johnston 66 per cent of the vote. Johnston will face Republican W. D. Workman Jr., Columbia newspaper columnist, in the No vember general elections. Donald Russell, 55, Spartan burg attorney and former pres ident of the University of South Carolina, ran away from Lt. Gov. Burnet R. Maybank and three others to win the Dem ocratic nomination for governor. The nomination is tantamount to election since the Republicans have no candidate in the No vember election. Outpulls 4 Opponents With 1,530 of 1,604 precincts reporting in the governor's race, Russell had 179,088 votes to 91,547 for Maybank. The threo other candidates polled 23.846 votes among them. The primary contest was the first political test for the 65- year-old Johnston In 12 years Johnstons strength extended Cabot Lodge, former U.S. am bassador to the Unted Nations, even to Hollings' home county of Charleston where the sen ator piled up 13,710 votes to 9,596 for the handsome 40-year-old governor. Hollings led in only one of the state's 46 counties. The campaign was a bitter one. Hollings said a prime issue was the right-to-work law, which he supported. He said Johnston had voted against federal legis lation authorizing such state statutes and was backed by the AFL-CIO Committee on Politi cal Education. Republican Senate nominee Workman said the voters will be faced "with a clear cut choice. Senator Johnston can try to de fend the Kennedys. I will de fend the Constitution." Congressional Races In congressional races, two incumbents, 6th District Rep. John L. McMillan and 4th Dis trict Rep. Robert T. Ashmore won renomination over opposi tion. Three other incumbents, rep resentatives L. Mendel Rivers, 1st District; William Jennings Bryan Dorn, 3rd District; and Robert W. Hemphill, 8th Dis trict, were unopposed. State Rep. Albert Watson, a Columbia attorney, led a five man ticket in the 2nd District. Ho will meet former Columbia Mayor Frank Owens in a June 28 runoff.
