MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, IMJ Kennedy's Tax Cut Program Has Union Support WASHINGTON (UPI) An AFL-CIO spokesman empha sized today that organized la bor was supporting President Kennedy's tax cut program "for one single purpose to help create badly needed jobs." The labor official urged more generous rate cuts for low-income taxpayers and elimination of what he called "unwarrant ed" tax benefits for corpora tions. Andrew J. Biemiller, AFL CIO legislative director, made the comments in a statement prepared for Senate committee hearings on the $11 billion tax cut bill passed by t h e House Sept. 25. Biemiller said the AFL-CIO "is for a tax cut" because "we believe that the funds it would release would significantly help create the additional jobs this country urgently needs." However, he suggested a number of revisions, including a scaling down of rate reduc tions given to corporations in the House measure. Instead of a cut from 52 to 48 per cent in the top corporate tax rate, Biemiller recommend ed it be limited to 50 per cent, and the $1 billion thus recouped be spread to low-income wage earners. In the face of the nearly $2.5 billion in tax relief handed business last year through de preciation reform and the in vestment credit, he said, "we see little merit in a cut in the top corporate tax rate at this time." F 3 GETS NEW POST WASHINGTON (UPI) Wal ler C. Williams, former direc tor of Project Mercury, has been named operations director for all manned flight missions.

(UPI) Labor Leaders Hope Goldwater Wins Nomination WASHINGTON (UPI)-AFL-CIO union leaders are quietly hoping that Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz., will win the Republican presidential nomina tion in 1964. Their hopes are based not on admiration for Goldwater but on a belief that he will solidify organized labor's support for President Kennedy's re-election. Union political stragegists said today that Goldwater was far more vulnerable than his potential GOP rivals on issues of great concern to the AFL CIO. Would Kill Support They said that Goldwater's support for state "right-to-work" laws which ban the un ion shop and his proposals for other restrictions on collective bargaining would kill chances of labor support for his candi dacy. "I can't think of a single labor leader who would come out for Goldwater," one union official said. "That's not true of some other Republicans." He said New York Gov. Nel son Rockefeller, Michigan Gov. George Romney or Pennsyl vania Gov. William Scranton all would be able to attract some union backing as the GOP can didate in a presidential campaign. Concerned Over Defections AFL-CIO officials said they were concerned over possible labor defections from Ken nedy's camp in 1964 because of administration actions since the President took office. A few railroad union leaders are annoyed over compulsory arbitration legislation sought by Kennedy to avert a threatened nationwide rail strike. Buildings trades chiefs were reported to be grumbling about anti discrimination measures aimed at their organizations. Nomination of Goldwater by the Republicans, however, would give them virtually no alternative but to endorse Ken nedy, one union strategist said. Even Teamsters' President James R.

S. Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington 25, D.C. A copy can be obtained for 25 cents. In this particular number of the magazine there are excellent articles on several phases ot il legitimacy; about gaps in our services to unmarried mothers; legal protections for the un married mother and her child; provisions for the carrying on the education of teen-age un married mothers; care-work services for unmarried fathers; and the community's part in preventing illegitmacy, and dealing with it when it comes. According to Hannah M. Adams and Ursula M. Gallag her, in 1960 there were in the United States 224,300 births out of wedlock. Thirty-seven per cent of the mothers were white. Authorities tell us that in re cent years the rate of illegita amacy has doubled. In 1960 there were 91,700 illegitimate children born to teen-age girls; 48,300 of them in school. The rate of out-of-wedlock pregnan cies was highest, not among teen-agers as many people have been led to believe but among women between 20 and 30 years of age. A while ago it was estimated that 2.5 million of the children in the United States, under 18 years of age, were born out of wedlock. Only 13 per cent of the mothers were receiving aid to dependent children. It is not well-known, has said that he would not help Goldwater get true that most unmarried moth' to the White House. lers are recipients ot aid. 2,O0 FIEll mm wm stamps 580 ON YOUR RADIO DIAL 5,000 STAMP GRAND PRIZE TEN 500 STAMP WINNERS 100 WEEKLY WINNERS listen to Radio KWIN Monday through Friday at 10, 2 ant) 4 for the scrambled up names that may mean 100 Gold Bond Stamps for youl Each day unscramble the letters to correctly spell out the name of a Gold Bond merchant in this area.

One in 6 gets help from a welfare agency. Often the preg nant girl does not apply for help because she does not want her relatives to learn of her trou ble, or she does not want her child to be taken from her, or she does not want her parents to pressure the lad who got her into the trouble to marry her. During their time of waiting, half of the unmarried girls live with parents or relatives; 16 per cent live by themselves, 13 per cent live in foster homes, and II per cent are cared for in maternity homes. At present, we have some 190 maternity homes with beds for 5,000 girls and women. Oft en, 90 per cent of these beds are filled. In 1961, Die number of adopt ion petitions granted was around 66,100, which means that 29 per cent of the illegitmate children born were given out to adoption. Most unmarried mothers keep their babies, but as yet little is known as to how these mothers manage to take care of their child. Also, we do not know how often the teenage girl goes on with her education. It is estimated that of the 2.5 million illegitimate children now in this country, 31 per cent have been adopted, and 13 per cent have been receiving aid. Little is known about what has happen ed to the remaining 56 per cent. A helpful chapter in the jour nal is by Prof. Sanford N. Katz on the legal protections needed by the unmarried mother and her child. As can easily be im agined, unmarried motherhood can have many emotional and psychological repercussions, es pecially when the person is still a youngster in high school. Father Has Problem The unmarried father has problems, and sometimes he is in great need of advice and help. Sometimes he ought to be taught to take some responsibil' ity for his child and for the girl whom he got into trouble. Rubin Pannor tells of "Rob ert," a high school student, who was stunned and frighten ed when he learned of his Bar bara's pregnancy, and realized that he had done something very wrong. His worries caused his grades to go down so low that he almost failed to grad uate. As usual in these cases, Robert said he had never had any idea of marrying Barbara, and besides, he was in no way ready for marriage. He was too young; he had no money, and he still had many years of study ahead of him. Another type of much-disturbed man found by Pannor was one who was married, but had just had just had a child by a young woman other than his wife. Among the questions he was facing were: Should he tell his wife? How should the new child be provided for; and if the young mother insisted on keep ing the child, what would be his relationship to it? What would be the child's relationship so cially and in a court of law to it's father's father. Should the child or can the child inherit money from his father and his grandfather, when these persons die? As a physician, I have talked over some of these problems with troubled people, and so I know how very disturbing they can be.
