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.

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.
