Man Ath ietes Seek olitical United States m Reaction To Kennedy's Tax Cut Decision Varied Washington- IUPII -Reaction to President Kennedy's decis ion to put off a tax cut until next year ranged today from a business leader's "disap pointment" to a Republican cry of "politics." Most lawmakers seemed to approve of the decision. But there were new demands for a reduction in federal spend ing before any tax cut voted. Ladd Plumley, president of the U.S. Chamber of Com merce, said he was disap pointed that Kennedy felt a tax cut could not be enacted now. However, he said, the difference between a cut now and one next January was not of "great significance." Republican National Chair man William E. Miller charged that the President's address was "a partisan po litical speech In a very thin disguise." Senate Finance Committee Chairman Harry S. Byrd (D Va.) a leading economy ad vocate, took the occasion to denounce big federal spending. Byrd said the only reason for high taxes was high fed eral spending. "The Presi dent said he would submit a tax bill in January," Byrd said. "He will submit his budget for the next fiscal year at the same time. In this com. bination, he will have an op portunity to indicate whether he proposes to reduce expen- is I ditures or to cut taxes with borrowed money." Chairman Wilbur D. Mills (D-Ark.) of the House Ways and Means committee, endors ed Kennedy's decision and Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.) a member of the committee, said the move was "wise." GOP Chairman Miller said that Kennedy "as much as promised'' the voters they would get a lax cut only if they elected a Democratic controlled Congress in No vember. ."The people can safely elect a Republican Congress which believes not only in tax cuts but in spending cuts as well," Miller said. Kennedy "went out of his way," Miller said, lo say that he had cleared the decision with the Democratic chairman of key congressional commit tees, "thereby making plain that election of Republicans might jeopardize the tax re duction." Sens. Paul H. Douglas (D. III.) and George A. Smathers (D-FIa ), members of Byrd's tax-writing committee, said Kennedy's speech was "an excellent slalement."

Weight Lifters Desert Team In Jamaica Kingston, Jamaica - DPI) -Four Cuban weight lifters and their coach, here for the ninth Central American and Caribbean Games, were ex pected to pick up visas today that would enable them lo gain political asylum in the United Slates. The five Cubans, one of whom lost his match earlier, rocked gamej officials Mon day night when they deserted their delegation and went into hiding. Their exact whereabouts was unknown, but Miguel Roldan, director of the Catholic Center in Kingston, said they are "hid den in safe places" awaiting permission to travel lo the Unltr '. Stales. Doors Left Open The Catholic organization, which reportedly helped 11, 000 Cuban refugees get to Mi. mi, ..as left its doors open to all refugees in need of aid to get to the United States. This island nation was grant ed independence only last week. The organizers of the games have t-icd hard to avoid poli tical incidents, but they admit that they have been power less. The games officially got under way Monday night fol lowing ceremonies on Satur day. But light from the start, the Cubans have been attract ing attention to themselves by their boasting of athletic su periority. As a result politics instead of athletic prowess has commanded most of the atten tion here. Deserters Identified The five Cubans who de serted their team were identi fied as Julio Cespcdes, coach; bantamweight lifter Ignacio Herrera, who lost his first match; middleweight Gerardo Diaz, welterweight Sergio Oli va, and lightweight Juan Tor res. The desertions look place shortly before the slart of the weightlifling competition at a local theater. It came after Cuban officials had tried to impress other delegations by saying their country had con verted itself into a "major sports power" in the Carib bean. Athletic coaches from the Soviet Union have been in Cuba for several months help ing train the Cuban team for their games. Russian Protests Expected Over Riots in West Berlin Berlin-IUPII-Rioting by thou sands of demonstrators against the Communists' anti refugee wall was expected to day to bring protests from the Russians that West Berlin is a threat to peace.

The rioters used anything! they could get their hands on -sticks, stones, iron bars, and beer bottles-to show Iheir anger at the 26-mile wall that divides the city. East German border guards turned water cannon on the demonstrators, many of them youths. They also were hosed down by West Berlin police trying to maintain order. It was considered certain that East Germany and the Russians would protest the ri ots. It was believed the Com munists would assert that the assorted melees prove that West Berlin is a threat to peace and must be made a demilitarized city stripped of Western troops.
