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."

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.

UNMARRIED PARENTS
I wish all families who have a
son or a daughter who is faced
with the terrible problems of
parenthood perhaps too early
in life and without the benefit
of clergy could read the
March-April 1963 number of
"Children," published by the
Children's Bureau, U. 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.

Many of the unmarried moth
ers are bright, and come from
good homes; but one in three
does come from a family on re
lief. 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.
Thousands of persons with
1 1 moderate hypertension live into
their seventies. To reassure
: them and provide help for oth-
er sufferers of high blood pres
sure, Dr. Alvarez has prepared
I a booklet on the subject. You
