Poor Showings The Labor party won both contests as expected Thurs day, but the Conservatives made poor showings that re flected their sagging prestige among the puonc. Labor, which has been out of office for 11 years, is con fident of winning the next election. : Macmlllan is not compelled to. call an election before October, 1964, and he Js expected to hold off as long as possible in hopes of restor ing Conservative prestige bad ly hit by the Profumo scandal The Profumo sex-and-secur- lty scandal is only the latest blow against the conservation position over the last 18 months.

Chicago -WPD- Leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said today members of new "direct action" civil rights groups triggered the uproar that drove Mayor Rich ard J. Daley from a NAACP Independence Day rally. "The people who interrupt ed the meeting were not mem bers of the NAACP and were not part of our rally," Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the organization, said. Daley got only as far as the second sentence of his speech at a massive Fourth of July freedom" rally when about 30 young persons - both Ne gro and white - surged down the aisles with signs and shouts. Left Platform - ' ... He withstood the calls of Tokenism -must go. Down with Daley. We don't need Daley, ghettoes, Jim Crow schools" for 11 minutes. Then, with a shrug, the poker-faced Daley wheeled and walked from the platform. It was apaprent the inct dent carried far more signifi cance to the NAACP, holding its B4th convention this week, and Daley, one of the most powerful Democrats In the nation, than a mere interrup tion of a rally. Cites Other Groups Willie Ludrien, of Atlanta, Ga., a NAACP national staff member, said the demonstra tion "seemed to be planned by CORE and SNCC." These groups, the Congress on Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordi nating Committee, have taken the civil rights struggle to lunch counters, buses and streets. The NAACP has tradi tionally ' sought to settle civil rights disputes in the courts.

' "Other organizations fur nish the noise and get the publicity while the NAACP furnishes the manpower and pays the bills," Wilkins said. It was the second time dur ing the convention Daley had touched off an outburst. . On the opening day, Daley said in a speech that there were no Negro ghettoes in Chicago. Dr. L. H. Holman, NAACP Illinois president, dis agreed in strong language and told the convention delegates. some of you who go and bring out that tremendous vote for him better work on him." Earlier Thursday, Daley helped lead a two-hour "free dom march" through down town Chicago and walked side by side with Wilkins. Police estimated the demonstrators numbered 45,000.

PRIZE PRESENTED Amsterdam, Holland - rtTfl -Prince Brrnhard of The Neth erlands Wednesday presented the $30,000 Erasmus Priie to Israeli philosopher Martin Bu ber for his contributions to European spiritual and cul tural life. Salem -0FPB- A ballot title and a statement of purpose for the referral of the 1963 legislature's $60 million tax increase package were as signed today by Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. The title, filed with the sec retary of state, reads: "Per sonal and Corporation Income Tax Bill." The accompanying state ment of purpose describes the measure: "To increase sttae revenues. Abolishes federal tax deduc tion. Lowers personal tax rates. Provides minimum tax. Increases corporstion rates. Effective on or after January 1, 1963." Raises Mora Money When asked to explain the part of the statement of pur pose which states the tax measure "lowers personal tax rates," Thornton told UPI, "The bill increases revenues because the federal tax deduc tion is eliminated. The bill lowers the tax rates, but raises more money. It lowers the tax rates, but it doesn't lower the take." A petition to refer the rev enue measure was filed by J. Francyl Howard, president of the Citizens Committee for Economy and Equitable Taxa tion. Howard's group still faced delays before circulation of petitions could begin, howev er. . As soon as the secretary of state is notified of the title assigned for the measure, a 20-day appeal period begins.' Anyone Can Object Thornton explained a n y person who Is dissatisfied with the ballot title can file an objection within the 20-day period. "It then becomes a matter for the Supreme Court to determine." Thornton said there is no legal time limit for the Su preme Court to approve or re ject the title. "In the past there has been the feeling rthat objections to ballot titles were deliberate attempts at stalling to prevent petitioners from getting sig natures, ' Tnornton said. Howard's group must get 23,185 signatures before a spe cial election can be held on the revenue measure. The legislature set. aside $300,000 and an Oct. 15 elec tion date for such an election. Thornton said "It may take considerable time for the Su preme Court to act. Many fee! this is a defect in the law and should be tightened up." He explained there was no provision in the law for ex tending the time for circula tion of petitions in case of de lays caused by a challenge of the ballot title. The law requires signatures to be gathered within 90 days of the end of the legislative session. Jack Thompson, elections supervisor for the secretary of state, said the petitions must be turned in by S p.m. Sept. 1. Sept. 1 is a Sunday, but Thompson said the office would be kept open that day if necessary, Thornton, who earlier this week was attending an attor neys general convention in Se attle, said he had planned to fly back Wednesday afternoon to work on the ballot title. but his departure was delayed by a bomb threat.
