Kroosh, in Berlin:
"The Soviet Union will not go
to war to bring about the victory
of communism in any country.
But 1 shall shout HURRAH when
capitalism is buried."
1 think he's whistling in the
graveyard to keep his courage
Berlin along with all of
East Germany is a graveyard ot
communist hopes and boasts. A
system that in order to keep its
people from running away from

ON, surrounded by high walls
manned by guards who shoot to

system seeks to leave it, can't
survive in the world of today.
In his State of the Union mes
sage yesterday, President Kenne

DOMESTIC Peace Corps. He
said:
"The present Peace Corps is a
success overseas. As the idealism
of our youth has served WORLD
PEACE, so it can serve DOMES

Farming communities in Tula

in California's great Central Val

men in an effort to solve some of
the most vexing health and edu

ers. These communities plan- for a
small unit of only 30 corpsmen to
help them tackle their migrant
worker problems..
Selected (or ingenuity, imagina

service corpsmen will be trained
at a university center for a six
week minimum. When their train
ing is completed, they will work
with local community agencies in
the farm towns and always un
der local direction.
Their main goal will be to de
velop a measure ot stability
among hitherto rootless migrant
families. They will help launch
day-care centers for pre-school
migrant children. They will oiler
elementary courses in nutrition,
health and family budgeting. They
will provide stepped-up vocation
al training so farm workers can
qualify for a wider variety of
agricultural jobs in an era of
growing farm technology.

Without using Red China's name
Ulbricht said the quarrel between
Moscow and Peking is not merely
an internal one among Commu

peace.
"The arguments between the So-'

about questions of peace or war,
he declared.
He referred repcately to the Al

He brought tlie Chinese Commu

Ulbricht portrayed this as con

Ulbricht. referring to the Red
Chinese and Albanians as
'dogmatists" and "dissidents"
charged they are "fundamentally

They are oriented toward
war, lie declared.
Despite this, Ulbricht said, the
Enst German Communist press
had deliberately refrained from
commenting on the Chinese-Indian
border dispute so as not to ag
gravate it.
'We maintain good relations
with India. We want to keep them
in the future too. This frontier con
flict is highly superfluous and Is
abhorrent to the socialist world

Here again he appealed for com

Odds Favor
$10 Billion
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Demo
cratic congressional leaders today
promised President Kennedy
speedy consideration of his income
tax reduction program.
Kennedy discussed the tax legis
lative situation with House and
Senate leaders of his party at
their regular Tuesday breakfast
meeting at the White House.
Speaker John W. McCormack
said that after the President pre
sents his special tax message
Jan. 24, the House Ways and
Means Committee probably would
proceed quickly with hearings on
Kennedy s detailed proposals for
net $10 billion reduction in fed
eral tax rates, phased over a
three-year period.
McCormack told newsmen that
tax reduction was a "matter of
urgency" in the administration's
legislative timetable.
Other congressional Insiders
were willing to give odds that the
administration will succeed in
pushing the President's tax cut
program for individual and cor
porations through this year's ses
sion. However, they felt that there
might be some major alterations
in the three-year plan outlined In
general terms Monday by Ken
nedy. Some predicted that the job
would not be completed before
October.
In the meantime, Kennedy wilt
be subjected to a continuing bar
rage of criticism from conserva
tives tor daring to propose that
tax revenues be cut when Treas
ury spending' already is running
billions of dollars a year in excess
of tax collections.
But many spokesmen for organ
ized labor and organized business
will demand that Congress cut
taxes.
Tie AFL-CIO and the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce last month
came to. surprisingly similar
agreement on the amount that
taxes should be cut aTid how the
relief should be distributed among
individuals and corporations.
Making use of this unusual la
bor-business harmony, Kennedy
drafted a tax-cutting formula that
s compatible with the proposals
of both organizations. Kennedy's
program by 1985 would reduce
taxes for a majority of individ
uals by more than 20 per cent,
and would cut levies on big cor
porations by nearly 10 per cent.
For example, a single person
earning $5,000, who now pays $818
in federal income taxes, would
pay $642 when Kennedy's program
became fully effective. A married
couple with two children with an
income of $5,000, now paying $420
In taxes, would pay $296. These
examples apply to taxpayers US'
ing the standard deducation.
In his State of the Union ad
dress to Congress Monday, Kenne
dy affirmed that tax relief to spur
economic growth and cut unem
ployment is his No. 1 legislative
goal this year.
He gave no more than passing
mention to the rest of his abbre
viated l3 legislative program.
Select senators and representa
tives escorted into the already
packed chamber former Govs.
Charles Sprague, Elmo Smith and
Robert Holmes, the black robed
justices of the Supreme Court, the
state's elected officials, and final
ly, Hatfield.
Edith Fairham Gunnar led the
audience in singing the national
anthem.
Hatfield was formally declared
reelected when House Speaker
Clarence Barton "canvassed the
vote" and announced the result
The governor looked solemn and
intense as he raised his hand and
took the oath of office from Chief
Justice William McAllister.
The audience listened quietly as
Hatfield delivered his 45 minute
inaugural address.
The ceremony ended with the
singing of "Oregon, My Oregon"
and a recessional
Then a lighter note took over as
the governor greeted guests tn hit
