The New York Shipping Assn. agreed Tuesday to accept a Presidential board s proposal to provide a 37 cents an hour package wage increase over i two-year period. The AFL-CIO International Longshoremens Assn. had agreed to it for' the northeast area Sunday. ' Usually Set Pattern Agreements reached here usually but not necessarily tet the pattern for the remain der of the industry. Federal mediation sessions were scheduled Wednesday in Galveston, Tex.; New Orleans, La., and Mobile, Ala., in an at tempt to reach agreement in those areas. A similar meeting will be held in Miami, Fla., at a time not yet specified. ' The first northeast longshore man local to vote on ratifica tion gave unanimous approval to the Presidential board's pro posal. The vote on the master con tract by the largest of six Phil adelphia area longshoremen lo cals Tuesday night preceded voting Wednesday and Thurs day by most dockworkcr locals from Maine to Virginia. ' It appeared possible for docks in that stretch of coastline to be Operating again by Friday. ! Ship owners here voted previ ously to accept the peace plan, ' It remains to be seen whether South Atlantic and Gulf Coast ports will go along with the sn fallcd master contract negoti ated in New York. NAM Critical I" Tests Over (AP Wlrephoto) James H. Meredith prepares to pay for repairs to his automobile at a Memphis, Term., service station Tuesday night. Battery trouble caused Meredith to come to Memphis for repairs after he finished semester examinations Tues day at the ' University of Mississippi where he was the first Negro know ingly admitted. Meredith would not say whether he intends to return to Ole Miss for the next semester. Perhaps 600 Million 'Earths We're Not Alone, Astronomer Says By ALTON BLAKESLEE Of the Associated Pr.il Scattered The peace formula was pro posed by a presidential board which drew the tire ol the Na tional Assn. of Manufacturers for wielding what it called a club on union and management. Alexander P. Chopin, chair man of the New York Shipping Assn., representing employers, announced that the association membership accepted the rec ommended peace pact in the na tional interest." He said that the acceptance was not binding outside the northeastern coastal area. .' The New York agreement nor mally sets the master contract pattern for both East and Gulf ports, which bargain separately on local issues. In advance of the association vote, Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., chairman of the three-man board appointed by President Kennedy to mediate the dispute, said the settlement his group reconv mended was "fair and just." "If this case hud gone to arbi tration, Morse said in Washing, ton, "it would cost the employ. ers at least twice tha 37-cent settlement." Helicopter Crashes SAIGON, South Viet Nam A U.S. troop-carrying heli copter was destroyed in a crash Tuesday, but authorities said no one was hurt. The crash was at. tributed to mechanical failure not enemy action. NEW YORK through the Milky Way are perhaps 600 million planets bearing intelligent life, an as tronomer theorized Wednesday. The Milky Way is a galaxy or family of 20 to 200 billion stars, with our sun being a rather average star. Prof. Lloyd Motz of Columbia University said he estimates the Milky Way contains 200 million stars similar to our tun, and if they have planets like ours, each might possess three "as abodes of an intelligent form of life." Besides earth in the retinue of the sun's planets, Venus and Mars "could support an Intolu- gent form of life under slightly Machinists Cast Ballots SEATTLE 0JPD Machinists union members in Boeing lo. plants throughout the country were voting Wednesday on the latest contract offer by the com pany. - Union officials here advised members to reject the offer. Rejection of the offer by a simple majority of the 30,000 to 35,000 employes belonging to the International Assn. of Ma chinists could pose a new threat of a strike. A union spokesman said if the contract is turned down, a new deadline would probably be set, possibly Friday. He added, how ever, that he expected the Taft Hartley Act would be invoked to prevent a walkout. The company has made con cessions on wages, fringe bene fits and employe-rating systems but has refused to concede to IAM demands for a union shop, the issue which has deadlocked negotiations for months. The company also refused an offer by the union to submit the issue to arbitration. altered conditions," Motz told a joint aession of the Institute of Aerospace Sciences and Ameri can Meteorological Society. 'That life exists beyond the solar system is now taken for granted by most scientists, even though we have no direct evi dence," he said. 'We know from astronomical observations that in our galaxy there are millions of stapa simi lar to our sun. Recent develop ments in the theory of stellar evolution (now observationally confirmed) show that all stars with the same general charac teristics originated in pretty much the same way from the same kind of cosmic dust -and gas, and have evolved In the same time through the same scries of stages. "Moreover, we also know that when stars like the sun are born from a matrix of gas and dust, a planetary system also arises. "From this it follows that there are In the galaxy millions of planetary systems like our solar system with similar physi cal and chemical properties." If a star has been burning long enough, and if the tem perature is agreeable to a planet, highly intelligent life is bound to evolve. Motz said.

Gat Doan'a PUl today I First Year of JFK Tax Plan Might Hit Corporations Harder WASHINGTON lfi Corpora tions might find themselves pay ing more tax instead of less under the first full year of President Kennedy'! proposed tax reduction program, it was learned Wednesday. Well-posted sources reported also that Kennedy plans to call for a sharp curtailment of the personal deductions claimed by millions of taxpayers for char ity, interest, local taxes and casualty losses.: In a 9,000-word special mes sage to Congress Thursday, the President will reveal the details of the proposed three-year tax package which would cut cor porate and individual income tax rates by $13.5 billion but would partly offset these reduc tions by $3.5 billion of revenue raising revisions. Prospect Held Unlikely The message will urge early tax relief next July 1 for in dividuals and small businesses. For corporations generally, it will propose a two-stage reduc tion starting next Jan. 1 to re duce the corporation rate from 52 to 47 per cent in annual steps. In the event. Congress goes along with the whole Kennedy plan an unlikely prospect, in the opinion of many members of Congress the corporations would not receive a full benefit of their $2.5-billion rate reduc tions until 1969. The reason is Kennedy's pro posal that corporation tax pay ments, now due six months after the quarter in which the income was earned, be speeded up suf ficiently over a period of years to bring the tax collections to a current basis. Quick and Substantial This would increase total cor poration taxes by $1.5 billion annually in 1964, while the rate reductions were saving about $1.25 billion. In 1965, when the second step Demos Ponder Convention Site WASHINGTON-The Democratic party announced Wednesday it has not yet picked the city where it will hold its 1964 nominating convention. "As of now every city which made a presentation is still un der serious consideration," said William S. Potter, chairman of the Site Committee of the Demo cratic National Committee. Cities which made bids last Saturday for the convention were Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Mi ami Beach and San Francisco. Logging Manager Named by G-P Co.

Jernigan was logging superin tendent for Willamette National Lumber Co. of Sweet Home pri or to joining Georgia-Pacific as assistant to Brown in 1956. of the corporate tax cut takes effect, the net tax savings would be roughly $1 billion, experts estimate. Not until the fifth year, 1969, would the full relief be felt. For consumers, the benefits would be quick and substantial, even though the SI 1-billiort cut proposed in individual income taxes would be reduced to about $8 billion because of changes in tended to close what the Treas ury calls tax loopholes. The reductions for individuals also would come in two steps, but the timing would be differ ent. The first reduction would take effect in mid-1963 and the second in mid-1964. The tax rates, now ranging from 91 to 20 per cent, would wind up in a range of 65 to 14 per cent. No Basic Exemption Cut But starting next Jan. 1, the proposed tightening-up revisions would take hold. Besides trim ming severely the personal de ductions, these revisions would bring important changes in the tax treatment of capital gains, stock options, dividend pay ments, inheritances, and per centage depletion allowances which apply to natural re sources. The basic exemption of $600 each for taxpayers and their de pendents would not be cut, in formants said, but an over-all limit would be imposed on the total of such deductions' as in terest payments on bank loans and mortgages, losses from storm or casualty, doctors' and hospi tal bills, and taxes paid to state and local governments.
