Jackie's condition 'satisfactory'
News broken by obstetrician
Anguished Chief Executive consoles his wife
. OTIS AFB. Mass. UPI -President
Kennedy consoled his
grief-stricken wife Jacqueline to
day over the loss of Uieir two-day-old
son and then went to his
Squaw Island summer home to
visit his other two children.
The anguished Chief Executive,
his eyes red and swollen, left the
base hospital after a 2 hour
and 10 minute visit with the
First Lady. He made no immedi
ate comment.
The President was spared the
sorrow of having to tell his wife
their baby was dead. Dr. John W.
Walsh, her obstetrician, broke the
news to the First Lady just after
she awoke in her hospital room.
The doctor then placed Mrs.
Kennedy under a mild sedation,
it was disclosed. Mrs. Kennedy
then slept until her husband ar
rived a few hours later. '
Press secretary Pierre Salinger
said that under the circumstances
Mrs. Kennedy's condition was
"satisfactory."
Kennedy's brothers, Atty. Gen.
Robert and Sen. Edward, rode
with him in a convertible on the
earlier by helicopter from Bos
ton, where his prematurely born
son had died in a hospital at
4:04 a.m.
No Information Forthcoming
There was no information
forthcoming from inside the hos
pital. Mrs. Kennedy's press sec
retary Pamela Turnure had not
accepted calls this morning.
It was learned that Kennedy's
brother Sen. Edward M. Kennedy
was flying here to be with the

visit. Kennedy had flown here I fered through for the past couple
days, hoping against hope that
his son would pull through a lung
complication that developed at
birtli.
Looks Straight Ahead
The President with great con
cern on his face, looked neither
right nor left as he entered the
building where his 34-year-old
wife waited.
Through Thursday, President
Kennedy called his wife 10 or 12
times to relieve her anxiety over
their son who had been born with
a lung complication.
The President's most joyous
phone call came to her late
Thursday afternoon when he re
ported to "Jackie" as he calls
her, that their son was "slightly
improved."
Optimism Had Prevailed
Since the baby's birth, five and
a half weeks ahead of time, an
air of optimism prevailed among
the First Lady's close relatives
and White House aides.
The Kennedys are known fight
ers and even Thursday the Presi
dent's sisters, Eunice Shriver and
Jean Smith, had confided to a
friend that the new member of
the clan the 22nd grandchild
"is going to make it."
Mrs. Kennedy's mother, Mrs.
Hugh D. Auchincloss of Washing
ton, D. C. and Newport, Rhode
Island, has been at the base
since Wednesday night visiting
her daughter" regularly, always
proclaiming with a gay, happy
smile "the baby is doing very
well."
The First Lady has had a sad
history of premature births of her
children. Before the death of Pa
trick, she suffered a miscarriage
and another baby was born dead
when she was rushed to a New
port, Rhode Island, hospital fol

I tional Convention.

Rusk returns
to Moscow
from talks
MOSCOW (UPI) -Secretary of
State Dean Rusk returned today
from informal talks on the sunny
Black Sea with Premier Nikita
Khrushchev aimed at easing cold
war tensions and guaranteeing
West Berlin security.
His special flight landed here
after a day of informal, shirt
sleeve talks with the vacationing
Soviet leader at Gagra on the
Soviet Riviera.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko arrived with him.
Rusk started his day early at
Khrushchev's vacation villa after
spending the night in a nearby
government guest house with
members of his party.
In Good Spirits
The Soviet premier. In obvious
ly good spirits, introduced Rusk
and his party to members of his
family and even suggested that
they take a swim in his heated
pool before getting down to se
rious discussions.
Some of Khrushchev's grand
children romped on the lawn in
fionb of - the house. "They were
half naked in the brilliant sun
shine and 90 degree temperature.
After a picture-taking session
for the Soviet and Western news
men covering the talks, Khrush
chev led Rusk and his group to
the veranda of a recreation build
ing near the main house.
Just before they got down to
serious discussions, Khrushchev
stepped inside and removed his
jacket. .He came out wearing a
loose-fitting, collarless Ukrainian
shirt.
Rusk Removes Jacket
Rusk removed his jacket also
to keep in step with the informal
atmosphere.
Khrushchev's relaxed mood was
evident when he gave orders to
let startled newsmen enjoy them
selves on his estate.
' "Let the correspondents go as
they like, go for a stroll or go
bathing or anything they want,
he said.
A surprised aide put the bath
house and other recreation facili
ties at the disposal of the news
men. The Americans fanned out
on the estate to see as much as
possible.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Key
Democrats on the House Ways &
Means Committee have agreed
tentatively on broad outlines of a
formula for cutting income taxes
by nearly $10 billion in two steps.
Although President Kennedy
last January called for a net $10.4
billion cut, the compromise has
administration support and is ex
pected to win committee approval
next week.
The first cut in individual and j
corporate taxes would come next
Jan. 1 and the remainder on Jan.
1, 1965. Under Kennedy's plan the
first cut would have taken effect
retroactively on July 1, 1963 and
the last on Jan. 1, 1965.
Three Main Points
The three main elements of the
compromise are:
Individual tax rates, which
now range from 20 to 91 per cent,
would be scaled down to a range
of from 15 to 75 per cent. Ken
nedy proposed a range of 14-65
per cent. The compromise would
cost $8.7 billion in revenue instead
of the $11 billion under Kennedy's
plan.
'She 52 per cent tax on cor
porate income would be cut to
48 per cent, instead of 47 per cent
as recommended by Ken
nedy. This would reduce the $2.5
billion in revenue loss envisioned
in Kennedy's program.
Structural revisions would be
made in tax law to produce a
i net gain of about $1 billion or
more in new offsetting revenue.
There would have been a net
gain of about $3.2 billion if Con
gress had enacted all the re
visions sought by Kennedy.

His statement on the U.S. race

against racial discrimination."
"I wish to take this opportuni

their struggle against racial dis

He said the "speedy develop

Officials said the known loss

There was a possibility the loot

The London Evening News quot
ed an unidentified man as saying
he saw an airplane land and take
off again in a hurry at a disused
airfield near the site of the train
robbery and at about the time it
took place Thursday.
As police explored this latest
mystery phase of the robbery,
staged by bandits whose faces
were masked by women's dock
ings and who were armed with
crowbars, blackjacks and guns,
the insurance brokers offered
$560,000 in reward money.
Individual banks which had
shipments of cash in vary
big amounts en route to the Bank
of England in London added
their own rewards to the insur
ance brokers' offer. Officials said
they felt the amount of the re
ward money almost certainly
would tempt some member of
the underworld to furnish some

number originally was estimated
at from 20 to 30 but which may
have been smaller.
The gigantic record reward

Hart and Co. and Tophs and

As Scotland Yard stepped up
one of history's greatest man
hunts, some of the banks affect
ed increased their original in

The Midland Bank, for instance
boosted its offer from $70,000
to $1JJ00, as the nation's banks
began to learn just exactly what
they had lost in the wild Wert
style train robbery.
The amazing success of the
bandit operation near Chedding
ton, 40 miles north of Loo

thinking on Britain's traditional
concept that neither policeman
nor robbers usually carry guns.
Because of severe penalties for
harming a policeman, the under
world usually commits crimes
without firearms.
