Top, Many taking dim view of tax cut WASHINGTON (UPI) - Many congressional veterans of both parties think President Kennedy will be making a political mistake if he decides to push lor an election-year tax cut. Unless the economy undergoes an unexpected and sharp slump, these lawmakers believe many voters would take a dim view of a Democratic drive to slash tax revenues in the face of the gov ernment's present red-ink spend ing. The question which Kennedy must answer is whether a quick tax cut is needed to stimulate the lagging economy and head off a possible recession. He has post poned a decision undl mid-August, when more economic indi cators will be available. The House Ways 4 Means Com mittee also is expected to hear economic arguments for and against tax reduction this year. The committee has polled a num ber of non-governmental 'cono mists, to determine whether they would be available to testify next week, should public hearings be scheduled. Some lawmakers in both parties are clamoring for tax cuts. But a large number of members be lieve that the best politics as of now would be to vote against a tax cut. One thing is certain. Kennedy will not recommend a tax cut un less he is certain Congress will enact it A tax-cutting recommendation would be viewed by businessmen as a presidential proclamation ; that the economy is daneerously weak. Should Congress then fail to approve the prescribed stimu lant, administration strati-cists fear the busines.- community would panic and the economy would certainly go into a sharp slump.

Speaking at the weekly meet ing of Bend Chamber of Com merce directors, Maudlin empha sized the importance of ticket sales to the success of the event and urged that local businessmen help in every way they can in the final days of promotion. Members of the Pageant Court accompanied Maudlin. He lauded the five girls for an "outstanding job of ticket selling." Princesses are Anne Moody, Margaret Gall, Linda Slate, Joyce Parker and Eunice Fix. The chairman said that it was hoped by his committee that this year's pageant would at least break even financially, and could, with a last-minute push of tickets, show a profit. He mentioned that the cost of the event this year has been held to about $8,000, compared with an expenditure of $12,000 for the most recent previ- 2 persons lose lives in crash NEWPORT (LTD Two per. sons were killed and three others ") seriously wnen u-.e.r r Crest Friday night Dead are Marianne Isabella Moriet. 54. of Portland and Rotch lev Clare Jones. 60. of Yachats.

(UPI) -Settlement of the bitter feud be tween Saskatchewan's Socialist government and the province's doctors today was reported only hours away. The doctors' boycott of the prov ince's new socialized medicine law began exactly three weeks ago, The Socialists ended a three-day convention Friday night without a formal statement from Premier Woodrow S. Lloyd. Lloyd was reported huddling with his cabinet behind closed doors and the doctors also met secretly. Lloyd, who had been expected to announce his administration's reaction to the doctors' scaled down demands for the past two days, could make a statement to day. He had been expected to an nounce his intentions at Friday night's closing address to the con vention, but skipped the windup session altogether. The convention gave Lloyd vote of "complete and enthusias tic support" in his stand against the striking doctors. The vote last night gave him a free hand to reply to the doctors proposals to end the crisis. The Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons softened its stand with a concession that Lloyd Immediately termed "a ma jor concession." The college earli er had asked that the govern ment's medicare plan be scuttled or suiended. But it said Wednes day it would urge its doctors to go back to work when the admin istration would call a special ses sion to write into law Lloyd' promise and executive decree that doctors can work outside the med icare plan if they so desire British Laborite Peer Lord Tay lor, hired by the Lloyd adminis tration as an adviser, was report ed Friday night to be trying to bridge the gap between the gov ernment and the college.

Peru (UPD-The armed forces junta Friday night charged "unjustified" attitude toward the military coup in Peru and impos ing sanctions "precipitately." The junta foreign minister, Vice Adm. Luis Edgardo Uosa, said the new government believes the United States has allowed itself to be influenced by the governments of Costa Rica and Venezuela in opposing the military takeover. "We see with pain that an old friend, in a difficult moment, does not want to help us and takes sides precipitately, he said. Llosa said the military leaders deposed President Manuel Prado last Wednesday to defend the country's constitution and laws. He said the June 10 presidential elections, which triggered the po litical crisis, were fraudulent Aid Suiptnded (The United States followed up its suspension of diplomatic rela tions with Peru and the halting of economic aid under the Alli ance for Progress by suspending military assistance Friday). Public opposition to the military takeover continued with riots in Lima by thousands of students and workers. Mobs that included many women ran through the streets, breaking windows, up rooting trees and setting automo biles on fire. It was the capital's third consecutive day of disor ders. No deaths or injuries were known, but reports said police ar rested 20 persons. Assault troops sprayed the mobs with fire hoses and heaved tear gas to disperse the demonstra tions. Business establishments closed. The General Confederation of Workers, which claims 350,000 members, called a general strike Alonday as a protest against the military regime. It also demand ed the reinstatement of Prado and the national congress, which was dissolved by the junta. Workers Angry Telephone service, partially re stored for the first time since tne junta took over, indicated a burg eoning strike movement among sugar workers in the north. The northern region is a stronghold of the American Popular Revolution ary Alliance, whose running feud with the military was an underly ing cause of the political crisis. Gen. Ricardo Perez Godoy, chairman of the four-man junta, told newsmen Friday night that Peru has sufficient economic re sources of its own to allow it to subsist by itself if international economic sanctions are imposed on the nation. He said Peru would not re-establish diplomatic relations with Premier Fidel Castro's regime in Cuba "while Cuba is still Commu nist." Llosa said Prado would be re leased soon from his detention aboard a naval vessel. He indicat ed the release would not come be fore July 28 when Prado's elected term as president will end.

President Gamal Abdol Nasser, who watched the tests, said they were not the first rockets his na tion had launched. He said the U.A.R. launched rockets from Egyptian soil 14 months ago, or two months before Israel's first announced test last July. It was the first announced bunching of a rocket by an Arab nation. Israel's "weather rocket was launched 50 miles into the sky on July 5, 1961, and drew strong verbal attacks from the Arab bloc.

Changts Suggttted He said he wanted to see temporary quotas assigned to Canadian timber. Morse suggested policy and procedural modifications in the forest service. There should be someone at secretary level with whom Congress and the Industry could deal, he said, because Con gress never delegated policy mak ing power to those beneath secre tary level. He added that the forest service "will hear from me Monday" re garding a letter sent to the in dustry seeking detailed informa tion on operations which the serv ice said Morse had requested at recent hearing. Morse denied he asked for the Information. He said the bill to remove the present 8 per cent differential enjoyed by West Coast ship builders is in committee and he expects it to stay there.

(UPI) President Kennedy appealed to day for a 60-day delay in a threat ei.ed strike at most of the na tion's missile plants and bases. Ha also named a three-man board to investigate the stalemated situa Uon. "In this important defense in dustry all parties have a respon sibility to cooperate in achieving a settlement without any interrup tion of work," Kennedy said in a telegram to all parties involved. Kennedy acted outside the ma chinery of the Taft-Hartley Law in calling for a solution to the con troversy which threatens to shut duwn most of the nation's missile program. But administration sources said that u this plan didn't work he still would hava open the Taft-Hartley recourse of seeking an BO-day back-to-work In St Plants, Bam The White House said th oia- 53 missile plants and bases: Ken. nedy dispatched his telegrams at 10:30 a.m. EDT from the summer White House here today after talk ing by phone with Labor Secre tary Arthur J. Goldberg in Wash ington. Kennedy arrived Friday night for his third consecutive weekend here with his family after receiv ing a gloomy report on the strika situation from Federal Mediation Service Chief William E. Simkin. The report, relayed by Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg, warned Kennedy that union con tract negotiations in the aerospace industry were deadlocked and a strike might begin Monday that would halt work on much of th U.S. missile and aircraft program. Production Threat Kennedy was confronted by a situation which Sen. John C. Sten nis, D-Mlss., chairman of the Sen ate Armed Services Preparedness Subcommittee, described as a throat to production of all the na tion's strategic missiles A'las, Ti tan, Minuteman and Polaris. A strike by Die United Automo bile Workers and the International Association of Machinists would stop work on such projects as Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg AFB, major rocket and missile ' launching sites. There was a likelihood that tha President would take some action connected with this situation by mid-day. In arriving here Friday, Ken nedy for the second week in a row pulled the name ot an im portant nominee from a bag hid den even to close confidants. This weekend, the case in point was Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Ken nedy's current special military adviser and his new choice for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. CtUbrtna Last W.tk Last week, it was Cleveland! Mayor AnUWy J. Celebrezie, the administration's new Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. When Kennedy flew here from Washington Friday the betting ran fairly heavily on Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzcr to succeed Con. Lauris Norstad as U.S. commander in chief In Europe. As such, Lenv nitscr presumably would also fol low Norstad as supreme command er of North Atlantis Alliance forces. But there was little, If any, spee ulatlon on LemniUer'a being sue ceeded as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by Taylor. That was the big secret, just as Cele brezie was week ago. And tt was a well-kept one. WITH MAJORITY WASHINGTON (UPI) Reps. Edith Green and Al UUman, D. Ore., voted with tlie majority here Thursday as the House passed a bill for a one-year ex tension of the present stopgap farm program. The measure was approved 225 to 163. It now goes to the Senate. Reps. Waller Norblad and Edwis Durno, R-Ore., voted agains", fi bill.
