In The-
Day's iews
By FRANK JENKINS
Tie news today?
The White House contributes a
(air share of it.
At his news conference yester
day afternoon. President Kennedy
announced that the budget deficit
for the government i fiscal) year
just closed was $2.6 billion less
than his estimate in January. The
lower figure, he said, is attribu
table to spending cuts throughout
the executive branch and higher
tax revenues generated by the
strong business recovery.
He added:
"The most urgent business be
fore the nation continues to be a
prompt and substantial tax re
duction to reduce unemployment
and bring the nation's industrial
plant up to capacity production.
Pardon, sir, but a lot of us out
in the sticks, basing our opinion
on our own experience, can't help
believing that SPENDING LESS
THAN IS TAKEN IN, so that
each year there may be a sur
plus to be applied to the reduc
tion of our national debt, which
is reaching staggering propor
tions, is the most urgent business
confronting our nation.
We are so unsophisticated as to
believe that when a nation goes
on spending more each year than
it lakes in and adding the differ
ence to what is already on the
cuff it is courting bankruptcy.
We are glad to learn, sir, that
last year we went only $6.2 bil
lion into the red. instead of the
$8.8 billion you had anticipated.
But, out here in the sticks, it
seems to us that going $6.2 billion
into the hole when we already
owe more than 300 BILLION dol
lars is RECKLESS FINANCE.
More from Washington:
A crowd of 2,560 foreign ex
change students ran w ild on the
White House lawn this morning
in an over-enthusiastic attempt to
get close to President Kennedy.
One girl grabbed the handkerchief
out of the President's breast pock
et and a boy snatched his tie
clasp in the melee.
"That's two from our bus that
got something" the girl who had
snatched the President's hand
kerchief shouted ecstatically as
others in the party (which is
making a tour of the country
by bus I surged forward toward
the President who headed to
ward the safety of his office from
the spot on the White House lawn
where he had greeted the party.
These foreign students, from 56
countries, have been in the United
States for the past year on ex
change scholarships under the
auspices of the American Field
Service. They lived with Ameri
can families in 2,500 communities
around the nation. The bus tour
is a wind-up of their year.
Most of them carried cameras
and wanted close-up shots to
show when they get back home.
They also w anted handshakes and
autographs.
How did the President take it?
The answer is VERY WELL
INDEED.
When he reached the sanctuary
of his office, a little wilted, -but
still able to smile, he grinned a
bit ruefully and remarked to the
White House correspondents:
"Well, they're not the quietest

was asked to take the lead in end
ing what the wire called the great
economic loss not only to the Coosl

Surplus
lion more than expected when the
1063 legislature closed up shop
early last month.
Holmer also estimated that un
der the new tax program passed
by the 1963 legislature the stale
would end the 1963-65 biennium
with a $4.9 million surplus.
Holmer said today that unex
pected increases in corporation
excise tax collections and state
liquor revenues last month were
responsible for the additional $1
million in the 1961-63 surplus.
The state ended the biennium
with $1,943,779.
Holmer said corporation tax col-
lections in June were $608,000
more than was anticipated and
that the liquor commission raised
$437,000 more than was expected
Personal and corporation tax
collections for the biennium
amounted to $233,775,532. which
was $22 million less than the 11
legislature had estimated in pre
paring the 1961-63 budget.
However, slate spending was
cut from $365 million to $358 mil
lion.
In order to balance the last bi
enmum s budget the state also
transferred $3.5 million from the
veterans loan sinking fund to the
general fund.
Liquor sales during the hien
nium brought in $3 million more
than was anticipated in 1961 while
gift and inheritance taxes pro
duced an added $4 8 million and
interest earnings were $14 million

Railway Dispute
WASHINGTON (L'PH Little
hope was expressed today for a
oluntary llth-hour settlement ot
tlie deadlocked rail work rules
dispute despite a new appeal by
President Kennedy.
The special presidential fact
finding board sent copies of a
draft report on the dispute to
union and management represen
tatives today. Labor Secretary W.
Willard Wirtz planned to present
the final report to the President
Friday.
At his news conference Wednes
day the President urged both
sides to reach a settlement be
tween themselves to avoid a crip
pling railroad strike that would
hit the "national economy and in
terest."
But Kennedy conceded he had
no reports from Wirtz that would
lead him to expect such a nego
tiated settlement before Monday,
when he tosses the whole affair
to Congress.
Despite reported private ef
forts of members of the fact-find
ing board to mediate the dispute.
there appeared to be no move
today by the unions or manage
ment to get together.
The railroad companies have
said that legislation is "the only
remaining means we can see of
heading off a calamitous nation
wide rail strike."
Barring a last - minute agree
ment, the President plans to sub
mit legislative recommendations
to Congress Monday on the basis
of his board's report of the facts
of the four-year-old controversy
The board completed its draft
paper late Wednesday.
Both sides have agreed to post
pone until July 29 any action that
might lead to a rail strike. The

bitterness as the conference pro
gressed. The last attack of major pro
portions came from Russia. In a

in Sunday's Pravda, it accused
Peking of being a racist power
intent on war and determined to
split the Communist camp.
China's replies have been only
indirect, but a blast of full force

Civil Rights
Bill Defense
By Kennedy
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Atty.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy told
Congress today the administra
tion's civil rights bill "can and
will do more toward righting the
wrongs of racial oppression than
any other measure possible at;
this time.
Kennedy told the Senate Judici
ary Committee, headed by hostile
Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss.,
that "no issues are more urgent"
than those the administration's
civil rights program seeks to re
solve. He said the program was no
cure-all but that it would "bring
to law what we have always
known in our hearts lo be jus
tice." The attorney general appeared
before a standing room only audi
ence in the big, theater-like audi
torium of the new Senate Office
Building. He backed up the pleas
of his brother, the President,
while his oilier brother. Sen. Ed
ward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., lis
tened as a member of the com
mittee. Under questioning by Sen. Ks-
tes Kcfauvcr, D-Tenn., the attor
ney general agreed to work with
Congress toward a more viable
form of tlie controversial equal
public accommodations section of
the bill.
He said no part of tlie rights
package was more important. But
lie admitted the difficulty in de
fining just what establishments
have "substantial" relation with
interstate commerce.
Kennedy also agreed, as he had
in earlier testimony before the
Senate Commerce Committee, to
accept an amendment providing
jury trials for persons cited for
contempt in violations of tlie pub
lic accommodations section.

problems facing tho nation.
He urged renewed emphasis on
previous drives to increase ex
ports, promote U.S. tourism, and
reduce overseas dollar expendi
tures by military and foreign aid
programs.
Kennedy said the long-range
payments outlook was hopeful,
but that action must be taken
quickly to replenish "our stock
pile of arrangements. . .during
our return to equilibrium.

signed to lessen the impact on
the gap that results whentaeigri
!crs borrow dollars in money mar-
kets here - where interest rates
are lower - for use in their own
country.
The President asked Congress
to enact a graduate tax, ranging
trom z.7o per cent to 15 per cent,
with the rate tied to the length
ot (lie loan.
The tax would start at the min
imum 2.75 per cent on a tliree-
ycar loan, and rise to tlie full 15
per cent for loans maturing in
28'4 years or longer. It would be
in cflect through 1905.
Kennedy said the levy "would
stem the flood of foreign security
sales in our markets and still be
fully consistent with both econom
ic growth and free capital move
ments." Tlie increase earlier this week
in short-term interest rates from
3 per cent to 3'i per cent was
intended to discourage the flight
of U.S. capital to foreign banks
offering higher rates.

strategics bolstered by additional
savings in overseas government
expenditures would add $2 billion
to tlie "plus" side of the pay
ments ledger during the next 18
