Harvesting Starts
For
And Area Peaches
Some early Bartlett pear
picking started today, accord
ing to County Extension Ag
ent Don Berry.
More picking will start to
morrow and the bulk of the
Bartlett harvest will begin
next week, he said.
Some orchardists report
large crops. Berry said Bart
lctts are sizing up somewhat,
but the biggest jump in size
increase will come from now
to the end of the Bartlett
harvest season. This area nor
mally packs the largest part
of the Bartlett crop for fresh
fruit, he said.
The recent cool, rainy
weather helped with sizing,
washed the trees of dust, dirt
and spray and provided good
uniform moisture, the county
agent noted.
Peach Crop Good
The valley will also have a
large crop of good quality
peaches, Berry noted. Picking
has started on Red Haven va
rieties and some of the Golden
Jubliees. However, the main
peach harvest will not start
until about Aug. 25. This will
include Hales, Elbertas, and
Rio Oso Gems. Elbertas are
best for ganners. Berry said.
Some sour cherries are still
available and a few apricots,
although they are at the end
of their season, the county
agent said. Early variety ap
ples are now being picked,
he added. They are of good
quality for fresh use, but not
for keeping, he noted.

DeForest representing some of
the residents of the southwest
Phoenix area who want an
election first. The county
judge originally understood
the state law allows the coun
ty court to adopt the zoning
ordinance for the area and
then call an election after
that.
However, residents of the
southwest Phoenix area have
submitted a petition question-
ling the county court's author
ity to adopt zoning and land
use ordinances. The petition
contained verified names rep
resenting 27 per cent of the
eligible voters in the area.
Only 15 per cent is required
uy law.
DeForest interprets the
law as mcanrng that the ma
jority of area residents must
approve the zoning ordinance
before the counly court can
adopt it. George Brenner of
the counly planning office
said that an interim zoning
ordinance, which is now in ef
fect in the area, should not
be confused with a zoning or
dinance. The last pages of the pro
posed zoning ordinance are
being printed today. The court
will cinsider the ordinance to

agenda session, Miller said.

Wilheim now operates a rid

trail from Lake of the Woods
to Howard Prairie as a bridle
trail. If the parks and rec

preliminary work on the trail
and barn area this fall.
Commission members last

Action To Curb
Talkathon on
Satellite Bill
Vote in Favor
Of Cloture 63-27
Washington -HOT- The Sen
ate today invoked its anti
filibuster rule for the first
time in more than 35 years
and voted to limit debate
on the administration's space
communications bill.
The vote in favor of cloture
was 63-27, three more than
the two-thirds needed.
The action came on a lead
ership motion to curb a de
termined Democratic talka
thon against the stalled bill.
The dramatic vote brought
the first successful use of the
cloture rule since February,
1927, when a prohibition
measure was being debated.
Days of Debate
Even with cloture, the Sen
ate still faced days of debate
and voting to clean up action
on the bill. Each senator still
is entitled to one hour to
speak on t lie bill and all
amendments combined. More
than 200 amendments have
been introduced.
The cloture vote marked
the first showdown in the
angry controversy over the
communications bill which
has snarled the Senate in dis
pute for more than a month.
Private Space Company
The bill, opposed by a bloc
of filibustering liberals,
would create a privately own
ed but government-supervised
corporation to operate a space
communications system exem
plified by the recent success
of the Telstar satellite.
The long-awaited vote pos
ed a trying test for many
senators who traditionally
have opposed cutting off de
bate. More Caught Up
The Senate narrowly escap
ed its longest session of the
year Monday night when sup
porters of the bill found a
chink in the parliamentary
armor of Sen. Wayne L.
Morse (D-Ore.). They rammed
through an adjournment at
6:33 p.m. (PST).
Morse, a determined foe of
the. bill, was threatening to
talk on for hours when he
inadvertently lost the floor
by asking that a series of
new amendments be read.
Morse and Sen. Maurine
Neuberger (D-Ore.) voted
against cloture.

President Sees
No Justification
For Prompt Steps
Request Promised
For Next Year
Washington IUPD President
Kennedy won immediate pub
lic backing for his decision
to delay a reduction in fed
eral taxes until next year
when Congress can enact the
"right kind" of legislation,
the White House said today.
Kennedy offered the nation
a detailed economic review
Monday night, saying an im
mediate tax cut could not be
justified by economic condi
tions or enacted In Congress.
But he said federal taxes
are too high and a tax cut
Is needed.
Telegrams Arrive
White House Press Secre
tary Pierre Salinger said "sev
eral hundred" telegrams of
reaction to the President's
speech arrived during the
night.
"They are running about
two to one in favor of his
stand," Salinger said.
A story on reaction to
President Kennedy's deci
sion to put off a request for
Congress to reduce taxes
until next year is on page
2A.
Speaking by television and
radio from his White House
office, Kennedy called on
Congress to approve a scries
of previously, recommended
economy boosters before ad
journing next month.
And should the economy
worsen after Congress leaves,
he promised to call the House
and Senate back into session.
Top to Bottom
The tax cut which the
President will request next
year will be a "top to bot
tom, across-the-board" reduc
tion In personal and corpo
rate Income tax rates. He will
ask that the reduction be
dated from next Jan. 1. Ken
nedy said leaders of both
houses had promised to steer
the bill to speedy passage.
Congressional reaction with
few exceptions followed party
lines. Democrats generally ap
proved but Sen. Wayne Morse
of Oregon thought the Presi
dent should announce now
that he will recall congress
after the November cloctions
to consider what Morse de
scribed as a "long overdue"
tax reduction.
Speaks of Savings
Mindful of the powerful
economy bloc within his own
party on Capitol Hill, Ken
nedy spoke of billions that
could be saved by closing
down federal Installations and
services "that are not essen
tial." He also urged Congress to
pass pending legislation to
raise postal rates and thus
end the $600 million annual
postal deficit; closing of cur
rent tax loopholes to save $1
billion annually and legisla
tion to make possible annual
saving of another $1 billion
on farm surpluses.
The President said the econ
omy had strengthened overall
since his administration took
office, but he was far from
satisfied with the rale of
growth, continued unemploy
ment and insufficient plant
expansion.

Moscow - lUI'll - R u s s i a's
twin cosmonauts hurtled

Moscow Radio reported that
Maj. Andrlan Nikolaycv, 32,

and Lt. Col. Pavel Popovlch,
31, in his third day in flight,
sent a Joint message at 4:52

"we arc feeling excellent."
At that lime, Nikolaycv had

Washington - OIPD - The
House Appropriations Com
mittee recommended today a
$4.6 billion public works bill
to finance more new construc

with less money than was re
quested. President Kennedy's public

$10,424,100 off that sum, but

They thanked the father

"We are a short distance
from each other and main
taining reliable communica
tion between ourselves," the
message sad.
The message did not spe
cify Just how close the two
space ships were to each
other. Estimates have ranged
widely. Some have said they
were from 0 to 125 miles
apart. Swedish experts- said
their calculations indicated
the ships were 1,300 miles
from each other and it was
unlikely ihey could stay in
space another day. But Sir
Bernard Lovell, director of
Britain's Jodrcll Bank Radio
Astronomy Station, said he
believed they would remain
in orbit for at least one more
day.
Believed Own Decision
Most observers believed
Nikolayev and Popovich were
being permitted to make their
own decision on when re
entry should begin. All offi
cial statements and broad
casts stressed their continued
well being.
About an hour before the
Joint message was sent, Niko

the announcer said, sent
"greetings to all" In a direct
transmission from space. If
