Young Americans Said Schooled in Violence, Sex Chicago - tUPD - Evangelist Billy Graham, at the mid point of his Chicago crusade, said Thursday night that the new generation of Americans "has been schooled in vio lence, sex and mischief and led into lawlessness." He told 18,000 persons at the McCormick Place Conven tion Hall: "It is a strange con tradiction that in the midst of the greatest tide of church-going in our history, we should be breaking all records for crime, immorality, delinquen cy, graft and greed." Graham said the current economic boom "is doing things to our morals that the depression never began to do." He warned that "Americans are not God's pets or favor ites." By What They Are "We have an idea that God will overlook our sins because we are Americans," he said. "God does not judge individ uals or nations by who they are but by what they are. God abhors a people who steep themselves in iniquity and re fuse to improve their spiritual state." The Protestant revivalist said that mankind will be threatened by barbarism until "man turns to God." "The most savage animal would not descend, as men did, to do the deeds which were revealed at the Eich mann trial," Graham said. Manuel said Miller "told me this happened in his office during a visit by Billie Sol Estes Jan. 25, 1961." Tells of Conversation The statement added: "On or about May 25 . . . I interrogated Mr. Miller at his home in Alexandria, Va. Among other things, Miller told me in no uncertain terms that Billie Sol Estes had sought to pressure him by in voking the names of the late Speaker Rayburn and Vice President Lyndon B. John son." When Miller appeared at public hearings a few days later, Manuel said, "his story was somewhat different." Manuel quoted Miller as saying the names of those pressuring him were Rayburn and Sen. Ralph Yarborough (D-Tex.). "At the conclusion of his (Miller's) testimony I called him over to the coun scl table and, in the presence of Rep. Florence Dwyer (R- N.J.), ... I reminded him that in our interview he had mentioned Mr. Johnson, and not Sen. Yarborough. "He admitted this and seem ed remorseful. But he offered no explanation of why he changed his story." The incident, Manuel con tinued, "points up the way this investigation is being dis torted - and the truth sup pressed - either because of shoddy preparation, or will ingness to cover up." Defends Leaking Report In defense of his action in giving the confidential report on Estes to a Washington newsman, Manuel said when he was asked to become Re publican counsel of the inves tigating group, he accepted in the hope "that I could help perform a useful public serv ice." "The Billie Sol Estes scan dal was not only a clear ex ample of political corruption at its worst, but also seemed to me to be a test of our very system of free government," he said. Miller, sitting in the hear ing room while, investigators questioned a witness today, told reporter he could not remember "whose names I mentioned to Manuel." Miller said Manuel came to his home one night and left after midnight. He said SATCTtlttAY PIECIA1L1 We Are Moving Our Headquarters to the NEW STORE 4th and Fir SEE YOU THERE!

Pledges To Continue Efforts For Nuclear Ban Geneva - IUPII - The United States pledged today to con tinue its efforts for a treaty banning nuclear tests despite the negative attitude of the Russians at the 17-nation Ge neva conference. U. S. Ambassador Arthur H. Dean accused the Russians oftrying to divert attention from their blocking tactics by bringing up. "extraneous is sues," such as the U.S. nuclear tests in outer space. But Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorln said the United States does not wish to reach agreement on disarmament or a test ban, and seeks "to talk about everything except reaching agreement on a test ban." Report To Delegates The exchange took place when Britain, the United States, and Russia, who are conducting nuclear test ban talks in the framework of the larger conference, reported to the other delegates on their failure to agree. Mrs. Eva Myrdahl of Swe den, one of the eight neutral nations at the conference, said the neutrals "would 'te failing in their duty to the confer ence if they did not express their concern over the current spiraling series of nuclear tests." Dean left Geneva immedi ately after addressing the con ference. He headed for New York. He will deliver the commencement address at Dartmouth college Sunday and return here in time for Tuesday's session. Regional Edition Medford?

Kennedy Shies From Figures on Amount Of Tax Reduction Washington - (UPD - Presi dent Kennedy plans to ask Congress to cut personal in come and corporate taxes ef fective next Jan. 1, but the question is: How much? The President told his news conference Thursday that a comprehensive tax reform bill calling for across-the-board tax reductions would be offer ed for action in the next Con gress. But he shied away from giv ing any figures on the size of the proposed cut. He said work on the bill should be completed later in the sum mer and "at that time I think we can discuss it in more de tail." There have been reports that the reduction might amount to $3 billion a year. Responsible sources consider that figure the maximum and point out that the final de cision will depend on the state of the economy and the government's finances. Studies Rat Cuts One idea that has been looked at in the Treasury is lowering the bottom tax- rate from 20 per cent to 15 per cent and slicing the top rate from 91 per cent to 65 per cent. Similar cuts could be made in the rates in between. By itself, such a 25 per cent average cut in rates could lop more than $12 billion a year from Treasury revenues -more than the administration would be willing to sacrifice. Such rate cuts would be off set in part by broadening the income tax base and making other revisions to bring in rev enue. Most corporations now pay 52 per cent on profits. A re duction to 48 per cent has been mentioned but this is by no means certain to be pro posed. Leaves Door Open Kennedy did not rule out the possibility of asking Con gress to cut taxes this year. While he said the present j judgment was that reductions would not be needed until j next year, he added that "if circumstances brought a new situation, then we would have . to make other judgments." ; The income tax cut was j one of five tax proposals Ken- j nedy said he had made to spur i the economy. Three are pend ing before Congress and the ! fourth will be put into effect ! by the administration within ! 30 days. j , lt$ like - !
