Kennedys big
tax bill saved
in House votes
WASHINGTON UPI Presi
dent Kennedy's big tax bill sailed
today into calmer Senate waters
after nearly capsizing during its
House passage.
The bill which has few allies
and many foes among the na
tion's most powerful economic
groups was traveling with a
head of steam supplied by the
White House.
Its successful passage through
the House Thursday, despite solid
Republican opposition, demon
strated that a remarkable degree
of goodwill prevails between the
President and rank and file House
Democrats.
The bill was twice buffeted by
vigorous assaults. Both times
Democrats in overwhelming num
bers responded to the pleas of
their leaders and rushed to save
the measure. Some of them did
so despite fear that their votes in
volved some political risk.
As a result, the House on a 225
to 190 roll call, refused to scut
tle the bill's two major features:
tax witliholding on interest and
dividends, and tax concessions for
business. The move failed even
though Republicans voted for it
163 to 0.
The Senate Finance Committee
will begin three weeks of public
hearings on the House passed leg
islation Monday.
The bill has generated thou
sands of letters from voters pro
testing against the provision that
would withhold taxes to assure
that they are paid on interest on
savings accounts and government
bonds as well as stock dividends
and patronage dividends of farm
and other cooperatives. The
Treasury has estimated that this
will collect about $600 million a
year in tax revenue that it is now
losing because many taxpayers do
not report this income. .
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Ore
gon's delegation was split as the
House Thursday passed President
Kennedy's tax revision bill.
The vole was 219-196.
Reps. Edith Green and Al Ull
man, D-Ore., voted for the bill.
Reps. Walter Norblad and Edwin
Durno, R-Ore., were opposed to
the measure.
TO LEAVE HOSPITAL
BOSTON (UPI) Former Brit
ish Prime Minister Anthony Eden,
who underwent surgery for a non
malignant chest lesion March 12,
will be released from Lahey Clin

The surgery was the third per

Tex James celebrates 106fh
birthday af Sunset home
By Ha S. Grant
Bullttln Staff Writer
Tex James was right on time
yesterday to celebrate what he
said was his 106th birthday. A
huge cake and a big bouquet of
red carnations were on display
in the dining room at Sunset
Home, in preparation for Tex's
annual appointment with the
press.
Tex made the short hike from
his room down the hall, his gait
still resembling that of an Indian
Big 'if seen
on black ink
for budget
WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi
dent Kennedy used one of the
biggest "ifs" of his 14 months in
the White House when he said
Thursday the federal budget will
be in the black next ear "if
business recovers in the way we
hope it would."
Most officials now believe that
a budget deficit is virtually in
evitable in fiscal 1963, which
starts July 1. The red-ink gap
could run to several billion dol
lars. The chief reason the narrow
$463 million surp'us Kennedy pro
jected seems to have melted
away even before the year has
begun is failure of business to
expand with anything like the zip
the administration forecast. The
Kennedy target of a $570 billion
economy this year is all but be
yond reach as even the most
optimistic administration econo
mists have begun to concede pri
vately. With business lagging. Treasury
experts doubt tax revenues will
reach the record $93 billion fore
cast by Kennedy when he sub
mitted his 1963 budget to Con
gress in January.
One hard fact is that mid-March
corporate tax payments to the
Treasury have fallen short of ex
pectations. Tax breaks for business also
will lower revenues below the $93
billion level. And spending, in all
probability, will exceed the Presi
dent's figure of $92 .5 billion.
Hence, a deficit looks certainT
Kennedy made the "iffy" re
mark about the budget at his
news conference. He was asked
whether the budget would be in
balance and whether he thought
it should be.
The President said first he
could make a "better judgment"
after seeing how the economy
does in March and April.
scout his cowboy hat at the
usual rakish angle.
"Well, ain't that nice!" Tex
commented, as he looked at the
cake and the flowers. He posed
for pictures and chatted a few
minutes with the reporter and the
photographer. Then he went back
to his room to rest a few min
utes before supper-time and the
birthday refreshments.
He was born somewhere along
the Kickapoo River, in Southern
Texas, with the formal name of
Robert C. James. He was with
the Texas Rangers for a time,
and many of his adventures were
on the Panhandle. His travels al
so took him to such distant places
as Mexico, the Philippines and
Australia.
His friends are familiar with
his story of being kidnaped by
Comanches when he was 8 years
old. He escaped four years later,
when the Indians were drunk on
a weed they brewed, and Jim
Williams, a scout for Kit Carson,
found him wandering on the des
ert. He says that General Custer's
wife taught him to write his name.
Tex has been a Bend resident
since 1927. In May, 1960, he pack
ed up his gear and moved from
his little cabin down by the tracks
to Sunset Home. He attributes his
longevity to home-spun tobacco,
clean living and buttermilk.
Support given
merger plan
SEATTLE (UPI) The proposed
merger of the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Burlington
railroads had the support of
Washington fanners and orchard
ists today before an Interstate
Commerce Commission hearing.
The hearing resumed following
Thursday's opening session here
at which farmer groups testified
that the merger would lower
freight rates, provide faster serv
ice and make available more
cars.
Ernest Falk, Yakima, manager
of the Northwest Horticultural
Council, said the state's fruit in
dustry depended greatly on how
much of the crop can be market
ed in the East.
Partly because of railroad rate
increases, marketing Washington
fruit east of the Mississippi has
been reduced in recent years,
Falk said.
ARREST MADE
Frank J. Choate, 17, a student,
was arrested Wednesday evening
on a charge of disobeying a stop
sign. He was arrested by city police.

Astronauts 'simmer down' after
upset oyer Slayton withdrawal
WASHINGTON (UPD The sev
en Mercury astronauts now are
beginning to simmer down a
little."
But the fact is, a source close
the them said today, that "they
were damned upset" about the
abrupt withdrawal a couple of
weeks ago of Donald K. Slayton
as prime astronaut lor Uie next
orbital flight in the Mercury man-in-space
series.
They were sufficiently upset, it
was learned, to enter a plea in
Slayton's behalf with President
Kennedy. Nothing, apparently,
came of it, because Slayton still
is grounded.
Slayton, a 38-ycar-old Air Force
major, was picked last year to
follow Marine Lt. Col. John H.
Glenn Jr. into orbiL Glenn flew
three times around the earth
Feb. 20. Another three-orbit flight
is scheduled for May.
Some time in the first two
weeks of March Slayton was told
by his superiors in the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration (NASA) that he was be
ing "re-evaluated." On March 15
he was summoned to Washington.
School filing

Sptclal fe The Bullttln
REDMOND .April 7 is the
final deadline for filing petitions
for board candidates for Red
mond grade and high school dis
tricts, clerks of the districts re
minded voters this week. Elec
tions will take place May 7.
So far, there have been only
two filings Al Niermann of Al
falfa for the high school board
and R. D. Whittier for re-election
to the grade school board.
There are two vacancies on
the high school board, one for
five years and the other for two.
Norman Lantz, Terrebonne, who
is completing a five-year term,
has declined to run for re-election.
The other position is to fill
the vacancy brought about by
withdrawal of Powell Butte from
the RUHS district Art Horsell has
been holding this position.
Directors must be elected for
the high school from areas other

High school petitions must be
filed with Mrs. Lou Shive and

Presley receives
unwanted award
LOS ANGELES (UPD Teen
aged singing idol Elvis Presley
has received another award
for his collection 'Teen maga
zine's "damp raincoat" award for
the most disappointing perform
ance of the year.
Presley shared the dubious
award with actress Tuesday Weld.
Results of a survey among 38,
000 teen-agers showed Presley and
Miss Weld selected a year ago
as the favorite motion picture per
formers among the younger set
in a similar poll were given the
"damp raincoat" designation for
"Wild in the Country."
Troy Donahue and Hayley Mills
replaced Presley and Miss Weld
as "teen toppers" in the esteem
of 'Teen readers. They were se
lected for their respective roles
in "Parrish" and "Parent Trap."
"Parent Trap" was acclaimed
"best film" while "Wild in the
Country" was named the "worst
film"
He, and the public, learned
that day that he had been dis
qualified for the second orbital
flight because of an intermittent
heart flutter NASA had known
about since November, 1959.
Slayton himself feels he was the
victim' of a ruling that should not
have been made. He disclosed
this Thursday in a letter to May
or Ralph Osborne of Sparta, Wis.,
his home town. He said:
"I feel tlie situation developed
through ignorance of the problem
and resulting panic, and can
therefore best be resolved through
education of responsible person
nel." He made it clear, however, that
he would stay with the manned
space flight program. NASA offi
cials have said he will get a
later orbital mission if stress
tests prove it would not endanger
him.
Slavton was stunned by his dis
qualification "damned disap
pointed," as he put it. A lot of
other people were surprised, to
say the least Among these was
Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy di
rector of NASA.
At a news conference on March
16, Dryden said: "Let's make it
clear. Deke (Slayton) is ready to
go, as far as I am concerned."
Said the astronauts' personal
physician. Air Force Col. William
K. Douglas: He was qualified to
S" ....
Who, then, disqualilied Mayton
on the basis of what Dryden re
ferred to as "this little defect?"
It was an Air Force medical
board which reviewed Slayton's
condition at the request of offi
cials identified by Dryden as
"new people within NASA."
The Air Force ooaro ruling was
not unanimous, but it was unani
mously upheld by a civilian board
of cardiologists called in for an
opinion.
