I TmnStage Tax deduction Proposal Soon laining Sentiment Area Redevelopment Bill Threatened by Proposal Washington -KtV- A propoi ed antl-discrimlnation rider threatened today to wreck plans of House leaders for early enactment of President Kennedy's two-year-old area redevolpment program. . Rep. Robert Taft Jr. (P. Ohio) said Kennedy's general civil rights bill now .before Congress was not broad enough to insure Negroes ac cess to all the privately owned facilities to be built with fed eral aid under the $455 mil lion anti-recession bill. Taft proposed an equal ao commodations clause as an amendment to the Senate passed bill. He said If the House Banking committee turned down his proposal, he would offer it again on t h House floor. Chairman Wright Patman (D-Tex.), pressing for a final committee decision on t h t bill late today, said if Taft'S amendment were approved, the bill might not clear the banking group and certainly would not get through the rules committee. By inference he accused Taft of using the civil rights amendment as a device to kill the bill. This and other charges and counter charges turned Monday's committee hearing into a day-long wran nip Republicans charged Pit man with trying to rush the bill through committee with out adequate study. They said this confirmed their suspicions that a "deal" had been made by which it was hoped to pass both the area development measure and a controversial cotton subsidy bill. Patman denied that any "deal" had been made. As for his efforts to limit the hear ings to a single day, he said the committee previously had heard all the arguments, for and against, and members al ready knew where they stood. Under Republican pressure, Patman later relented to the extent of continuing the hear ings today but he said they would be ended at noon so the committee could consider amendments and act on the bill.

First Half Would Become Effective At First of Year Washington - IUPD - Senti ment seemed to be jelling in the House Ways and Means committee today in favor of a $10 billion tax cut, with one half to go Into effect next Jan. 1 and the other half year later. Chairman Wilbur Mills CD Ark.) gave his first hint of this possible timetable for tax reduction in a question he put Monday to Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon at a hearing on the national debt limit. Mills asked what the effect would be on government reve nues in the current fiscal year If Congress approved a tax bill that contained provisions for reducing taxes by $5 bil lion, effective Jan. 1. Dillon replied that it would cut revenues only about $1.5 billion. Mills, who appeared satisfied with the response did not pursue the matter. But s. oral other committee mem bers said later sentiment was swinging toward that tax-cut plan. President Kennedy has pro posed a three-stage $10.4 bil lion net tax cut, with reduc tion becoming effective July 1, 1063, Jan. 1, 1964 and July 1, 1965. As he did repeatedly re cently, with civil rights and the railroad legislation occu pying the attention of Con gress, the President today again stressed the urgency for action this year on taxes. Kennedy told Democratic congressional leaders at their weekly White House confer ence that the need for this (tax) legislation is as urgent today as it was when he sent the tax message to the hill," Speaker John W. McCormack, (Mass.) said. McCormack said the House leaders assured the President that they were hopeful a tax measure would emerge from Mills' committee "in the rea sonably near future.'' The speaker said the lead ership agreed with Kennedy, during the conference, that 'even though the economy Is on the upswing, the long-term economic health of the coun try demands prompt, strong action against the twin can cers of unemployment and un derdeveloped resources." Before starting its final round of voting Wednesday to draft a compromise version of Kennedy's tax proposal, the Ways and Means committee was called into closed session today to consider the adminis tration request that the tem porary $309 billion national debt limit be extended through Nov. 30, Congress is expected to go along with the request. In the absence of legislation, the debt limit would plunge on Sept. 1 to $285 billion, the level provided by permanent law. The debt, which stands now at about $306 billion, is expected to total $307 billion on Sept. 1. A thrcc-monlh extension of the existing limit would mere ly postpone until mid-August an administration fight to boost the debt ceiling to a new record high for the sec ond time this year.

Unions Plan To Spread TOC; Springfield Door By United Press International Northwest lumber unions laid plans to spread their strike again- members of the Timber Operators Council to day, while one independent firm was struck and another threatened with a walkout. The Lumber and Sawmill Workers posted pickets this morning at the Clear Fir Pro ducts Co. door manufacturing plant at Springfield. A com pany spokesman said wage talks with Local 30-35 broke down Monday night. About 200 employees were affected, he said. A settlement with Scott Paper Co. predicted by Presi dent Harvey Nelson of the International Woodworkers of America Region 3 Sunday, failed to materialize in Port land Monday and Nelson said he "would not guarantee how long strike action would be withheld." The IWA represents about 440 loggers and boom men who supply logs for Scott mills at Everett and Anacor- tes, Wash. They had been re ported near a settlement for about a week, but Nelson charged the company entered Monday's talks with an en tirely new and unacceptable offer. Nelson blamed the influ ence of the so-called Big Six" bargaining group for scuttling an agreement. The negotiations were recessed, pending a call by either side. About 28,000 men now are idled in Oregon, Washington, northern California and Mon tana by lumber strikes and closures, and more strikes were imminent. The strategy committees of the two unions met in Port land Monday and discussed plans for extending the strike to more members of the 198- member Timber Operators Council. Dick Oilman, public rela tions director for the IWA's Region 3, said no announce ment of the plans would be made until various union lo cals have been advised. In a related industry, offi cials of the United Papermak ers and Paperworkers Union and the Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers began counting bal lots today from about 20,000 members who voted on ap proval of a new contract with 49 West Coast pulp and paper mills. The proposed contract calls for a 7'4-cent hourly general wage increase and an adjust ment of 2Vi cents an hour for women. The increases would bring base pay rales to $2.37 an hour for men and $2.10 for women. Union mem bers turned down an earlier offer.

Volunteers Agreement Near In California Sacramento - IUPD - Senate- Assembly conferees were re ported near agreement today on an augmentation to the state budget totaling about $100 million. It appeared likely the joint committee would reach an ac cord that could send the leg islature's special session, now in its fourth week, home by Thursday or Friday. Sen. Stephen P. Teale (D- Westpoint), chairman of the six-man group, told newsmen:. "We're still talking. I think we've made material progress and personally I'm confident we will eventually come to an agreement." Assemblyman Robert W. Crown (D-Alameda), head of the lower chamber delegation, put it this way: "I'm extreme ly hopeful for an early solu tion." At issue before the joint committee - three members from each house - was Gov. Edmund G. Brown's $115 mil lion augmentation for the $3.14 billion state spending program already adopted for the current fiscal year.

But there's plenty of dis agreement over the reasons. Liberal Democratic Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.) re cently told the Senate it should be 'on its way home and instead was faced with "nothing -but gloom"-the pros pect of "an eventual log-jam of legislation on civil rights, tax, rail strike, debt increase and so forth. To get bills roll ing faster, he called for re form of the Congressional process : permit committees to meet during sessions, and adopt a germaneness rule on debate and a rule to make It easier to squelch a filibuster. But a Republican Congress man did not pin the blame on legislative machinery. He sug gested that the Democratic leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) and Speaker of the House John W. McCormack (Mass.) is less powerful than that of their predecessors, Lnydon B. Johnson (Texas) and Sam Rayburn (Texas) and that realization of this has contributed to the slow down. The theory goes that some of this leadership power has been seized by committee chairman, mostly Southern Democrats who have never been known to have a sense of urgency on "new frontier" bills, and are not anxious to press for action. in Ml bers of Park and Shop.

Southern' Democratic Sen. Herman E. Talmadge (Ga.), however blames the pace on the Administration. He says the President has pinned everything on his tax cut and civil rights bills and left the rest of his program in a "back water." In addition to these view points, many observers agree that the likelihood of a long Senate filibuster on the civil rights bill hasn't done much to give the 88th Congress a will to move quickly; . -Comparison with Others1 To document the slower pace of the current session, Congressional Quarterly chose 25 major bills for the 1961, 1962 and 1963 Congress es. At this time in 1961, 13 had been enacted, in 1962, 6 were enacted, in 1963, 4 were enacted. Even more striking was the comparison between bills which saw only partial ac tion in 1962 and 1963: In 1962, three of the 25 bills had been passed by both houses: in 1963, no other had been passed. In 1962, eight had been pass ed by one house only; In 1963, this was true of five. In 1962, three had been re jected; in 1963, one had been turned down. In 1962, only five of the 25 bills had failed to pass beyond the committee stage by late July; in 1963, seven had been considered by com mittees in each chamber, three had seen committee action in one house only, and five had seen no action at all.

The F101 fighter, speeding toward the ocean to make simulated bomber Intercepts, will exceed the speed of sound between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The planes are assigned the responsibility of protect i n g the area from attacking enemy bombers, and will be utilizing the semi-automatic ground en vironment system to perform the missions. of the differences In speed of action on legislation is pro vided by a comparison of work on the President's 1962 and 1963 priority bills. In late July 1962, the trade ex pansion act had been passed by the House, and Senate hearings were scheduled. On the other hand, the 1963 tax cut bill is still firmly lodged in the Ways and Means Com mittee, and may not see the floor before September. The difference is due to a lot of factors. Among them: the Administration didn't draft a tax bill, leaving the arduous task up to the com mittee, and the pick-up in the economy has weakened pres sures for a quick tax cut. The civil rights and rail strike bills were sent up too late for comparison with sim ilar measures of earlier years. But whatever their timing, they are there and must be acted on, futher jamming the clogged legislative process. (Copyright, 1963, Congressional Quarterly. Inc.) i TO FIND 7? IVUn' H 1M AGENT
