Pasadena, Calif. -IUPD- M;in
kind ventured on his "first
major step into the explora
tion of the planets" today as
America's Mariner-2 sped to
ward a close rendezvous with
Venus that could unravel age
less mysteries of the universe.
The spectacular spacecraft
became the most successful in
terplanetary probe yet known
Tuesday night by perfectly
executing a critical change-of-course
maneuver and hurtling
on-target beyond a million
and a half miles in space.
The teat also could give the
United States a resounding
space age triumph ever Russia
and might discover some un
known form of life existing
beneath the planet's perpetual
wreath of strange clouds.
Scientists' Hopes Soar
Tuesday night's "mldcourse
maneuver" was described by
United States scientists as
being so successful that Mariner-2
was reported on a tra
jectory that would take it
nearer Venus than expected
within 9,000 miles. Plans had

Dillon Won't Urge
Congress To Limit
Revenue Deduction Senators Look
Washington - III") - Treas
ury Secretary Douglas Dillon
has decided gainst asking Con
gress to prohibit or limit tax
deductions for interest pay
ments, It was learned today.
About 18.7 million taxpay
ers claimed deductions of $8.4
billion on their tax returns
last year lor interest they had
paid, primarily on home
mortgages.
Reports have circulated for
some time that the adminis
tration's 1963 tax reform
package might include a pro
posal to deny deductions for
interest, or at least to limit
them.
But responsible Treasury
officials said today this has
been ruled out. Nor will there
be any proposal to change the
present deductabllity of state
and local property taxes, it
was said.
Wants Loopholes Closed
President Kennedy has said
he will ask Congress next
year to cut taxes across the
board, for individuals and
corporations. He also said he
would ask the lawmakers to
close certain loopholes in the
tax code.
By closing the loopholes,
the administration hopes to
reduce the revenue loss re
sulting from rate reduction
and to introduce a greater ele
ment of equal tax treatment
tor taxpayers. '
,mong the more contro
versial areas of lax reform
getting intensive scrutiny in
the Treasury are capital
gains, depletion allowances
and stock options. The Treas
ury also is still interested in
removing the $50 exclusion
and the 4 per cent credit for
recipients of dividend Income.
The decision to drop any
idea of limiting deductions
for interest payments appear
ed, at least in part, to be po
litically motivated.
Democrats in Congress have
privately expressed to Dillon
fear that ev'en the possibility
of curtailing interest deduc
tions could be used against
them In the election cam
paign. The issue is believed to
have a lot of political signi
ficance because of the mil
lions of taxpayers, especially
home owners, who take de
ductions for interest paid.
A home owner with a mort
gage typically may pay as
much as $1,000 a year In In
terest. If he is, for example,
in a 26 per tent lax bracket,
(he deduction saves him $280
In (axes.

called for a "fly by" explora
tion at 10,000 miles.
Scientists at Cal Tech's Ji-t
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL),
guiding and tracking the 447-
pound instrument-laden Mar
iner, conceded it still had "a
very long way to go" on its
epochal 180 million mile
journey.
But the successful execu
tion cj the crucial "mldcourse
maneuver" sent their hopes
soaring for a historic success.
' "We're going great at the
moment," said Mariner-2 proj
ect Director Jack James, "and
it apppears we have a huge
success."
Dr. William Pickering, chief
of the propulsion laboratory
and a leading figure in the
U.S. space program since the
first Explorer entered orbit in
1958, alo expressed optimism.
"This is the first major step
in the exploration of the
planets," he said. "We're
reaching way out beyond
earth which is necessary for
fm i 1
'OSSss sSntwiKk. f Ml j
future exploration of the
solar system by mankind."
Tuesday night's maneuver
was to correct an off-course
trajectory of 223,000 miles
caused by faulty tracking data
shortly after Mariner-2 was
launched from Cape Canav
eral, Fla., Aug. 20. .
Fire Rocket Motor
Scientists at JPL successful
ly fired the mid-course rocket
motor by flashing a lone com
mand signal to the vehicle
while it was 1,492,500 miles
from earth on its four-month
journey to Venus. The maneu
ver swerved the space probe
on its new heading.
The Mariner-2 is scheduled
to draw closest to Venus at 2
p.m., (EDT) Dec. 14. It will
peer down through the plan
et's mantle of clouds with an
electronic eye" at secrets
which have haunted man's
imagination for centuries.
Astronomers have theorized
that if the strange clouds of
Venus are made up of water
droplets like earthly clouds.
DISCUSS MANEUVER Mid-course trajec
tory engineer Fred Barnes, left, and project
engineer Tom Bilbo discuss the apparently
succeessful mid-course maneuver of the
Mariner-2 spacecraft in Pasadena, Calif.,
Tuesday. On a signal from Cal-tech's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, the course of the
Marlner-2 was altered to come within 10,000
miles of the planet Venus sometime in early
December. On the desk in front of them are
a model of the Mariner and a mock-up of

Revision Bill
Washington - (UPU - Senate
leaders looked forward to
completing action today on
President Kennedy s m u c h
amended tax revision bill.
Democratic chiefs were re
ported to have the votes neces
sary to sidetrack the most
troublesome of two remaining
amendments. With these two
roadblocks out of the way, the
Senate was expected to ap
prove the measure before the
day is over.
Administration sources said
a majority of senators present
would vote to table an amend
ment that would allow pro
fessional and other self - em
ployed persons to take tax de
ductions of up to $1,750 a
year to set up their own re
tirement plans.
Separate Bill
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield promised to
call up the pension plan pro
posal as a separate bill before
the Senate adjourns this year.
The other pending amend
ment would cut the tax deple
tion allowance on oil and gas
income and reduce the top
bracket tax rate.

ments for the council, which
opens In St. Peter's Basilica

propio" made public today. A
"motu propio" is a document
issued by the Pope alone and

tion to the three-part docu
ment, said that "the forthcom
ing Ecumenical Council, be
cause of the number and va
riety of thaie who will par
ticipate In its assembly, evi

Barn Scheduled To
Be Torn Down Today
A crew of Jackson county
prisoners were scheduled to
tear down a halMallen barn
in Phoenix today to eliminate

ty Commissioner Edwin Tay.
lor said this morning.
The barn and a shed are
on Jackson county property
occupied by Charles Pipes,
County Commissioner Wendt
noted.
Phoenix Mayor Faye C.ir-
ver recently requested the
barn be removed as a fire
hazard. County court records

given former Phoenix Mayor
Arthur Mackintosh permis
sion to tear down the barn

Dead Agriculture
Official Approved
Estes Allotments
Washington -IUPD- Billie Sol
Estes' attorney said today that
an Agriculture Department
official, later found dead un
der mysterious circumstances,
had approved the Texas farm
tycoon's cotton allotment deal
ings.
John B. Dennison. who
handled Estes' legal affairs,
told the Senate Investigating
subcommittee that the dead
official, Henry H. Marshall
was "so completely satisfield'
with the allotment operation
that he declined even to look
at the sales contracts.
Subcommittee Chai r m a n
John L. McClellan (D-Ark.)
told Dennison his account
"seriously conflicts" with the
testimony of Taylor Allen
southwest regional director
for the Agriculture Soil and
Conservation Service. He re
called Allen's assertion that
Marshall had said such trans
actions would be invalid.
Marshall, a cotton program
specialist for the government
was found mysteriously shot
to death June 3, 1961. His
death was ruled a suicide at
first but the Texas Rangers
now say he probably was murdered.
Dennison told McClellan
that Allen was "confused'
about two different contracts.
The Pecos, Tex., lawyer said
Allen was unfamiliar with the
details of the arrangements
and "his memory serves him
poorly."
RETAIL SALES RISE
Washington - IUPD - The
Commerce Department re
ported Tuesday that retail
sales rose by 3 per cent in
July to a record high. Sales
totaled nearly $19.7 billion,
about $231 million above the
department's earlier estimate
life is a possibility on the ob
scured planet. However, they
say high temperatures caused
by the clouds trapping heat
would probably make the
planet extremely uncomfort
able by earth standards.
Mariner's dazzling triumph
scored a dramatic prestige
comeback for the United
States. The Soviets startled
the world recently by ma
neuvering two manned space
craft to near rendezvous in
earth orbit.
However, the Russians wers
reported to have twice failed,
in attempting to send space
craft to Venus - once early in
1961 and again less than two
weeks ago.
