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.
Ancient Vessel
Found in Thames
London - IUPD - A wooden
Roman ship that may be more
than 1,800 years old has been
discovered In the mud of the
Thames river In the heart of
London.
The vessel was found last
year but only Monday was It
identified as Roman.
"It Is one of the most com
plete Roman ships to have
been excavated," according to
Peter Maraden of the Guild
hall Museum.
The museum is In charge of
the excavation work, which
has already turned up two
Roman coins, pottery and a
millstone.
Marsdcn said a small bronze
coin dating from the relgn of
Domitian led to the Identifica
tion of the vessel. Domltan
was emperor from 81 to 96
AD.
It was traditional that when
the mast was placed in posi
tion in a new ship a coin was
put under it, presumably as an
ottering to the gods.

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.

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.

Everybody Blamed
For Congressional
Lack of Progress
Washington -(CQ)- Almost
everybody in the nation's
capitol agrees on one thing:
the current session of Con
gress is one of the pokiest,
most meandering, in years.
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.

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.

Sonic Booms Are
Forecast in Area .
In preparing for a defense
exercise of the Pacific north
west area, Kingsley Field;
Klamath Falls, has announced
that its aircraft will cause a
number of sonic booms in the
Medford, Ashland and Grants
Pass areas during the next two
weeks.
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.
