In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, there is ONE big story. It is as old as mankind. It is the great leveler. It reminds us that we are all human beings, living together on this ball, spinning through space, that we call The Earth. With that, let's leave it. It is a story that mere words can't tell. From Cheddington, England: A gang of masked badits am bushed a mail train near here yesterday and escaped with at least $2.8 MILLION in cash and gems. Working with clocklike precision, they pulled oft the world's greatest train robbery in just 15 minutes. There were reports that the haul may be as much as $8 mil lion, but the official estimate stands as $2.8 million. Shades of Robin Hood; And Dick Turpin. And Jesse James. That is more money than the three of them rated as perhaps the greatest robbers of all time hi-jacked in all of their lives one reason being that back in their days there wasn't thai money to be taken. Tlie world gets bigger and big ger. Whether it gets better and bet ter is open to discussion. U.S. Secretary of State Rusk is much in the news these days. His pictures are in the papers and on the TV screens all over the world. Reading the recent news, one comes to the conclusion that maybe the pictures don't do him justice. They give an impression of solemnity and a touch of stuffi-j ness. Why this judgment? ' Well, day before yesterday, the news columns tell us, Secretary Rusk found himself free for the moment of the heavy burdens of statecraft. So he left Moscow and went up to Leningrad, formerly St. Petersburg, to do a little sight-seeing. In Peterhof Palace, the former home of the czars, he became intrigued with the fairy tale foun tains of the ancient .palace. He says he has a personal use for one of them an innocent ile of rocks from which a spray spurts w hen a button, is pressed, some distance away, l couio use one of those in my office," he said after his visit to Peterhof. "to get rid of visitors I haven't time to see." He wandered on through the fabulous old palace (apparently just strolling around all by his lonesome', and came to another fountain that shoots a spray onto a bench at irregular intervals, He found a group of Russian children playing a game. The ob ject of the game was to sit down on the bench and guess the time of the next burst of spray ac curately enough to get out of its way without getting wet. He joined in the game. His liming was bad. He GOT DOUSED. The Russian children adored it They howled with glee. They took to him in a big way, laughing and applauding. The Secretary of State of the U.S.A. apparently enjoyed it just as much as the Russian children. At any rate, the reporters tell us. he made a tremendous mt He must be a pretty good man for his job. History tells us traits like that can sway empires. Weather klMUttl Tullt an iaktvlM: Ptrtly C'ouai tonight through S1u'0iy ifftt, wit ttm Uwwtrs Mindr sAwrt ffw Ult Mhtrmeeat mt M9I.

Income Tax Relief Bill Okay Pends Turncoat Gl ack Home today approved reductions of 16 and 20 per cent in the taxes indi viduals must pay on profits from sales of stocks and other property. I ms completed final committee action on all of the structural re visions in personal income taxes recommended by President Ken nedy except his request for elimi nation of the preferential tax treatment of income from stock dividends. The committee next w eek is ex peeled to approve a compromise. version which would apply tough er tax treatment only to dividends received by large stockholders. It also is expected to approve across-the-board reductions m in dividual and corporation tax rates, thereby completing action on the big tax bill. Key committee Democrats have tentatively agrccu on the broad outlines of a formula that would result in a net tax cut of almost $10 billion, staged over two years The three main elements of the compromise are: Individual tax rates, which now range from 20 to 91 per cent. would be scaled down to a range of from 15 to 75 per cent. Ken nedy proposed a range of 14-65 per cent. The compromise would cost $8.7 billion in revenue instead of tlie $11 billion under Kennedy's! plan. The 52 per cent lax on cor porate income would be cut to 48 per cent, instead of 47 per centi as recommended by Ken-1 nedy. This would reduce the $2.6 billion in revenue loss envisioned in Kennedy's program. Structural revisions would be made in tax law to produce a net gain of about $1 billion or more in new oftsetting revenue There would have been a net gain of about $3.2 billion if Con gress had enacted all the re visions sought by Kennedy. The contract agreed on Tliuts-i day provides 10 cents an hour in-; crease across tlie board retroac tive to June 1. lflfiS; 5 cents ef fective December 1 oi this year: 7 cents effective June 1, 1964, and 6 cents June 1, 1965 a total of 28 cents. In addition, benefits include a one-cent "bracket increase, to; certain skilled jobs and premium of 6 cents for certain woods em ployes who travel beyond desig nated marshaling points. Both of these are retroactive to June t. Company officials said the 30' 2 cent figure was arrived at bv iprcading out the premium pay. Hie agreement mace no men tion of the variable work-week' formula which would eliminate overtime pay on week-end days, and which the unions have ob jected to in Big Six and TQC negotiations. Georgia-Pacific spokesman said about 65 per cent of its fir lum-i ber and plywood production has; been affected by the strike. Return of the approximately 5,- 000 G-P employes and some 14, 000 who started back to work this week for Big Six companies who ended tlicir lockout would still leave 10,000 to 11,000 men out of work. Still struck arc St. Regis Paper Co., and U.S. Plywood Co., both members of the Big Six, and number of smaller firms who arc members of the Timber Operators Council. 111 J 1 r f - : V- . . v '"; V : . : ' -;-v. ri V1 i 1 . , I 1 I' " " ' I f '.' i " t BOSTON UP1 - Patrick Bou-i vicr Kennedy, infant m rf Pres-i ident and 5te, Kennedy, died to day 39 hours after his birth, hin heart exhausted in the struggle' will a respiratory aiirneal, 1 The President was 'srjlb tbe! tiny infant v. hen the end came at 4 04 a.m. EOT in a giant pres sure chamber at Children s Bosv prtal Medical Center.
