i
hm of Vice President Said Omitted in Estes Testimony
Washington -OJPI A Repub
lican lawyer fired by a con
gressional committee investi
gating the Billie Sol Estes
scandals said today a federal
employee changed his testi
mony at the inquiry to avoid
mentioning Vice President
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The charge was made by
Robert Manuel, a Republican
lired Thursday by a House
subcommittee for giving a re
porter secret Agriculture De
partment report on the Estes
case.
In a statement to reporters,
Manuel said Carl Miiier, an
Agriculture Department offi

stated in private that Estes,

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

U.5. 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.

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
