Murrow of tile United States Information Agency told the Senate For eign Relations Committee that the USIA should have reduced rates in using the Administration's proposed space satellite communications system as a "reservation of public domain for public use." Murrow was the leadoff witness as (he com mittee resumed hurry-up hearings on the long-stalled hill under orders to report back to the Senate by Friday. (UPI) the first and second grades in September, 1083 and to abolish it for the third, fourth and fifth grades in September, 19B4. In its ruling, the court af firmed the original desegrega tion plan by former U. S. Dist. Judge J. Shelly Wright in l!)(i0. Wright issued plan when the embattled school board failed to submit one. Judge Wright now with the Appellate Court in the District of Columbia had or dered a grade a year deseg regated beginning in Septem ber, 19B0. However, only limited desegregation has been introduced in New Or leans' schools. A total of 12 Negroes now attend six previ ously ill-white schools in the city. Last April, Judge Wright amended his order and called for the desegregation of all six grades of New Orleans schools. The parents of 101 Negro pupils asked for the action, charging the school board was trying to limit de segregation by use of the Lousiana pupil placement plan. This signed students to various schools. Frank B. Ellis succeeded Wright when he moved up to the Appellate Court. Ellis overturned his predecessor's order, and reinstated the 1980 staircase plan.

JFK Accused of Indecisiveness In lax Reduction Washington UPU Congress and outside economic experts added new fuel to the tax cut debate with one Republican senator calling for a $5.5 bil lion reduction and accusing President Kennedy of "agoniz ing indecisiveness." The '"cut-now" plea of Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) was echoed by J. Fred Weston, business professor at the Uni versity of California, Los An geles, in testimony before the Joint Economic Committee, However, Weslon did not at tack the President. He agreed with other wit-nesh-cs that the rate of econom ic growth has slowed down. He urged that corporate taxes be cut by 5 percentage points and the lowest bracket per sonal income tax rates be cut in half. Weston also asserled that Senate Finance Chairman Harry F. Byrd's insistence on a "rigid debt ceiling" in the fall of 1957 was a major cause of the $12.4 billion deficit in fiscal 1958-59.

Called to testify were Ira Ellies, DuPont eco nomics Prof. Daniel B.

He said taxes should be cut immediately to help spur the economy.
